The happy talk is that Livingston will be pitching in June. The reality is that Livingston isn't likely to throw a pitch in a game situation till 2009.what's the earliest Livingston can come back anyway? I thought it was something like June or July.
"Even a bad day at the ballpark beats the snot out of most other good days. I'll take my scorecard and pencil and beer and hot dog and rage at the dips and cheer at the highs, but I'm not ever going to stop loving this game and this team and nobody will ever take that away from me."

Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Ecxactly. Coaches admire hustle over most anything. Unfortunately, you have to hustle and play smart too. That's something Freel doesn't understand until he wears himself out. I prayed that if teams admired him so much he would be traded, but here he is, penciled in as our every day CF and second on every IF?OF depth chart except first base.
I still say he has pictures of someone with a goat.
For the record: Redszone could come up with a more accurate depth chart than reds.com. This has nothing to do with the actually depth chart the Reds FO has.
Right now, there are only a few remaining issues on the roster.
If no starting pitcher is acquired, the rotation will be set with Belisle, Bailey and Volquez. I don't see a lot of competition there, unless someone is added to the mix.
The starting position lineup is set except for first base and center field. On first, Hatte and Votto will both be on the team, so the starter/backup issue doesn't affect the roster. Both are on it.
In centerfield I'm assuming Freel will start and Hopper back up. Either way, both make the team. (I'll get to Bruce shortly.)
With Valentin, Hopper, Keppinger, and one of Hatte/Votto on the bench, there is only one spot available among the thirteen position players. Right now it seems that the candidates for this spot are Bruce/Fiorentino/Castro/Dickerson. If it's Bruce, he will start. If one of the others, bench.
So the competition for position players comes down to one spot and the competition for starting pitchers is dependent on future acquisitions.
The bullpen, however, should have lots of competition, probably for two spots.
Cordero, Weathers, Burton, Stanton, and Bray would seem to be locks if all are healthy, unless Stanton is moved which seems unlikely at this point.
That leaves two remaining bullpen slots. The candidates include Majewski, Coffey, Coutlangus, McBeth, Pelland, Salmon, maybe Roenicke (invited to ST). There may be others I'm forgetting.
So, unless there are additional player moves, I think spring training will determine one position spot and two bullpen spots.
As an aside, I hope the Reds know what they are doing with this bullpen. They did make one big off-season move, but it was a pretty terrible bullpen last year. Surprised they haven't been more aggressive there this off-season.
Mostly agree. I think one bullpen spot might go to a long reliever that can go multiple innings. I think we could easily see one of the NRI in that spot like Brower, Pettyjohn, Lehr, Adkins, or Michalek. Some younger guys as dark horses might be Ramon Ramirez or Danny Herrera but probably not on opening day.

Product Description
About the Artist
(over) The Seeger family tree for the last century has soaked its roots in music and sprouted no fewer than three major performers in the folk world. The paterfamilias was composer/ethnomusicologist Charles Seeger (1886-1979), whose first marriage produced the iconic musician and activist Pete Seeger and two other sons. His second wife, composer/arranger/musicologist Ruth Crawford Seeger (1901-53), the first woman to win a Guggenheim Fellowship for Music, gave birth to Mike, Peggy, Barbara, and Penny, who later married John Cohen, Mike's bandmate in the New Lost City Ramblers. By the time the Seegers moved from New York to suburban Maryland in 1936 after Charles was appointed to the federal New Deal ad ministration, they were already acquainted with song collectors John and Alan Lomax, whom they'd met through left-wing political organizations. With Ruth hired to transcribe the Lomaxes' field recordings of rural American music for the Library of Congress, little Mike (1933 - 2009) and his younger sisters were imprinted with those songs through repeated listenings and Saturday night singalongs. Mike taught himself various stringed instruments in his late teens and soon teamed with already adept instrumentalist Peggy (born in 1935) in performing at local square dances. Soon Mike was traveling the Washington, D.C., area looking for traditional musicians to record and "new" old songs to learn. One of his major discoveries came about by coincidence in the late '40s when he learned that the Seegers' Southern-born housekeeper, Elizabeth "Libba" Cotten, was a singer, songwriter and guitarist who had put music aside for the last 25 years. Mike taped her singing and playing and produced her first album in 1957, containing her classic "Freight Train." Tapped by Folkways Records owner Moe Asch to record and assemble an album of banjo players, Mike made his own recording debut on the resultant 1956 LP, American Banjo, Three Finger & Scruggs Style, the first of many documentary albums he made as a "sort of aural historian," capturing previously obscure American musicians and spreading their songs to new generations of players and listeners. In 1958, Mike and like-minded musicians John Cohen and Tom Paley (later replaced by Tracy Schwarz) formed The New Lost City Ramblers, a revered group that specialized in obscure rural and working class music of the 1920s through early '40s. Drawing their repertoire from Library of Congress field recordings and old 78rpm records, the Ramblers recorded a remarkable 12 albums between 1958 and 1962 and continued to perform and record periodically through 2009. Mike's first solo album, Oldtime Country Music (1962), was followed by more than 40 other albums of his own music, solo and with others, and he toured internationally with the Ramblers and on his own. "He played . . . the full index of old-time styles," wrote Bob Dylan in his autobiography, and "he played these songs as good as it was possible to play them. What I had to work at, Mike already had in his genes." "His impact on the shape and perception of American music is truly incalculable," eulogized England's Independent. Mike's work earned him the National Endowment of the Arts' highest honor, a National Heritage Fellowship, and the Ralph J. Gleason Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rex Foundation, established by the Grateful Dead, as "one of our great musical and cultural resources." At the time of his death, Mike was working on a documentary of what he saw as a "revival/survival" of specifically Southern old-time music in progress, interviewing and recording 20 banjo players. His widow, Alexia Smith, is working to complete the project.
In a childhood surrounded by her musical family and such visitors as Lead Belly and Woody Guthrie, Peggy (born in 1935) hit the ground singing, learning piano at seven, transcription at eleven, and the guitar soon after, later adding banjo, dulcimer, and concertina. Studying music at Radcliffe College and starting to perform professionally, in 1955 Peggy traveled abroad, having just recorded her first album, Songs of Courting and Complaint, a 10-inch record on Folkways. Backpacking across Holland, Europe, Russia and China, Peggy arrived in the UK, where she immediately fell in love with the leading figure in the country's folk music revival, singer/ songwriter/ playwright/political activist Ewan MacColl. Peggy moved to London, became a British citizen and joined MacColl in his efforts to reconnect Britons with their musical history, singing and lecturing about folk music's place in modern life and activism. The highlight of their creative collaborations was the development in 1958, with BBC producer Charles Parker, of the innovative Radio Ballad form, a mosaic of spoken-word field recordings, instrumentation, sound effects, and new songs written in the folk idiom. MacColl and Seeger also recorded numerous albums, ran the controversial London Critics Group, operated and performed at one of England's best-known folk venues, The Singers Club, and formed their own record label. Somehow Peggy found time to raise her three children by MacColl (future musicians Calum and Neill and artist/vocalist Kitty), to write songs for and perform in films, TV shows, and radio plays, to establish and edit a magazine of contemporary songs, "The New City Songster," from 1965 to '85, and to collaborate on anthologies of folk songs with MacColl and others. In 1971, Peggy was the subject of a BBC documentary, and in 1995 BBC Radio 2 broadcast an award-winning five-part series about her life, with additional episodes presented in 1996 and '97. In 1983, Seeger began singing occasionally with Irish traditional vocalist Irene Pyper-Scott, with whom, after MacColl's death in 1989, she formed a professional and personal relationship. The duo recorded and performed for several years as No Spring Chickens. In 1994, Peggy returned to the States with Irene, settling first in Asheville, NC, then moving to Boston in 1996 to enable Peggy to teach songwriting at Northeastern University. In 2006, Peggy and Irene entered into a civil union partnership in England, but American visa policies obliged Irene to leave the US. Peggy moved back to England last year, and their two-country relationship is solid and satisfactory. Peggy has forged a reputation as "one of the most authoritative voices in American and English folk. . . an esteemed interpreter of traditional material and a gifted instrumentalist...[and] perhaps best known for her observant and caustic original songs... (Billboard). 149 of Peggy's best pre-1998 compositions have been published in her "Peggy Seeger Songbook: 40 Years of Songmaking."

Researchers then looked at whether the women were treated by a general surgeon or one who specializes in breast cancer procedures, as well as whether the woman was treated at a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center or in a community hospital setting.
They found that even when factoring these points in, minority women still were less likely to be knowledgeable about survival.
"It's important for women to be able to do what we call a high-quality decision-making process. That would mean that the decision needs to be well-informed, based on an accurate knowledge of the risks and benefits of the options, and it also needs to be based on their preferences. If women do not make an informed decision, they're more likely to be dissatisfied down the road with the treatment they received," Hawley says.
The researchers did find, however, that patients who said their surgeon described both treatment options more often had adequate knowledge. The findings indicate that not all patients are clearly understanding information their surgeons may be telling them. The researchers urge surgeons to make sure they communicate information about treatment options, including survival and recurrence risks, during the initial visit in a way that is culturally and ethnically appropriate.
The researchers also urge patients to be aware of their treatment options. "Be sure to ask questions of your surgeon and consider exploring other avenues for getting information," Hawley says.
Breast cancer statistics: 184,450 Americans will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year and 40,930 will die from the disease, according to the American Cancer Society
Methodology: The researchers surveyed 1,132 women recently diagnosed with breast cancer in the Detroit and Los Angeles

"People feel disempowered, disillusioned. And they feel as if their vote has no impact on the status quo. I mean, that's the reason why they're not voting," said Danny Glover in a 1999 interview with The Nation.
Ralph Nader's presidential campaign could help change that, when Nader supporters decided Tuesday whether to stand by their candidate — thus sending a powerful message to the major parties about the viability of a third party — or to switch their allegiance at the last minute to Bush or Gore.
Glover, an award-winning actor and director, is one of Ralph Nader's staunchest supporters, joined by such celebrities as Susan Sarandon, Phil Donahue, Bonnie Raitt and Eddie Vedder with the Green Party on the campaign trail.
Did Nader's campaign energize voters?
Glover, best known for his roles in the Lethal Weapon movies, has long been a social activist and humanitarian, advocating the release of Leonard Peltier and Mumia abu Jamal and speaking eloquently against racism. He joined us on Election Night in a live chat.
Danny Glover joins us now. Welcome!
I imagine you've been watching the race pretty closely. What's your reaction so far?
Danny Glover
Like most people, I think it's sad. I hate to sound like the voice, the repetitive voice, but the race is really close. On the one hand, it could be very interesting — it's just too close to call right now. Certainly I don't think that we've lost any of the momentum. We've talked about — those of us who've supported Nader — putting together a coalition of people who are talking about issues that aren't spoken about, the issues you don't hear as part of the national dialogues, the dialogues surrounding the two major campaigns. The issue of globalization, the issue surrounding the death penalty, the prison system, those issues aren't addressed in the general dialogue of the campaign rhetoric of the two major candidates. But it's — I'm looking at the numbers now, and it's still too close to call.
Are you worried that support for Nader may cost Al Gore the election, and bring George Bush into the White House?
Danny Glover
Well, I don't think support for Nader will cost Gore the White House. I don't buy that argument. I think the White House was Gore's to win or lose. Look at states like Minnesota, where Gore carried the state even though Nader had a large turnout. I think Nader had 8 percent of the vote in Minnesota. I think you'll find that in other places too. The people who voted for Nader were people who were concerned about the change, and the extension of the dialogue.
Tom asks:
Mr. Glover, what exactly draws you to the Green Party?

Although a little repetitive, Outrun 2006 has a lot to offer to those content with bettering themselves and sucking up the beauty. [Apr 2006, p.74]
By simply making sure that absolutely everything in the game is designed to remove the usual restrictions on fun, Sumo's created something that practically transcends rivals like PGR3 and Burnout before you even done anything.
Until you've cleared route A in under four minutes you can never truly say that you've lived.
The PS2 version of the game looks every bit as good as on the more powerful Xbox, and gamers would be hard pushed to distinguish it from the arcade version.
Not only will you be giving yourself the chance to sample some of the best driving title delights in recent memory, but you'll be encouraging all those other publishers and developers to keep on tweaking those much-loved, but ridiculously over-looked classics and offer up more of the same.
Once you've witnessed the beauty of the courses, felt the perfection of the sliding feel and mastered the art of flicking your Ferrari from one powerslide into another, you won't want to go back to any other boring old driving game. OutRun 2006 shows that when it comes to making games you want to play over and over again, realism isn't as important as sheer fun, colour and character.
OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast offers up nothing more than a single focal point of arcade racing gameplay that's polished and honed to perfection. All other considerations are devoid of merit.
OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast might just be the best arcade racer available on all three systems.
The inclusion of connectivity to the PSP was a stroke of genius that I hope other developers take note of and use in the future.
Bold, fun, unapologetically arcadey and oh-so-lovely to look at, OutRun 2006 deserves a prized spot in the collection of any discerning gamer. The best racer of 2006 so far.
If you're jonesing for old-school, demerara-sweet gameplay wrapped up in a shiny 21st century paackage, by all means, merge with OutRun 2006. [Jun 2006, p.48]
Fast, beautiful and perfectly playable. Embrace its simplicity and lose yourself in the ride of your life. Don't expect ANY realism though. [Apr 2006, p.56]
The $30 price tag, combined with the huge pile of content added, makes this a must-own for racing fans, Sega fans, or people just looking for a great arcade racer to add to their gaming library. OutRun2006 perfectly fits the definition of a sleeper hit.
Instead of a sense of "been there, done that" it will be a wave of comforting nostalgia, like a sea breeze taking you back to days gone by. OutRun 2006 is a lot of fun, it's just that you have to know exactly what to expect from the series.
Its more of a single player experience than it is for multiples of people, and in that sense it works nearly perfectly. Car handling is simple, the frame rate is speedy, but more than anything Coast 2 Coast is fantastic fun to play - a quality that many a game bogged down with FMVs and unnecessary complications neglects.
Whether your time with it lasts a few hours, a whole week or a month, OutRun 2006 will not disappoint.
A competent, pure arcade-racing experience. No simulation pretences here. Very good in small doses. [April 2006]
It is a classic in every sense of the word and while not perfect, still retains the fun and feel of the old school game, but with some new school treats that will make you smile from ear to ear.
It's unabashedly repetitive, cartoony and not as pretty as many would like, but it's still the most beautiful journey yet. [Mar 2006, p.96]
A handsome looking and crazily addictive arcade racer remake that's only limited by its overly faithful take on the '80's original. [Mar 2006, p.82]
An exceptional title; pure, simple, fun, brilliant - I simply can't lay enough superlatives around the game.
A very simple idea, brilliantly put together: a high speed nostalgia trip that, unlike other games you remember from your youth, won't leave you thinking: 'Surely it was better than that'.
Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast offers a fun, accessible experience to racing fans who just want to jam on the accelerator and go.
Sure, it's a developer's cut, in a way, but that's like an extra scoop of ice cream on an already-great banana split. Gorge yourself in the glory of Outrun.
The branching track system is brilliantly designed to challenge and thrill in equal measure. Giddy car handling enables skilled drivers to power-slide gracefully around corners at ridiculous speed.
Six-player online racing on both systems(complete with friends lists)seals the deal--if you love racing games, you have to get this. [Jun 2006, p.82]
If you loved the classic OutRun and happened to miss OutRun 2, you definitely need to give Coast 2 Coast a try. It's a prime example of how to update a classic video game for a modern system.
It's nice to see a revamp of a true classic that's been handled so well though.
As impressive as a racer like "PGR3" can be, the learning curve and time investment aren't for everyone. OutRun 2 is just as entertaining, and almost as challenging, no matter what sort of digital driver you happen to be.
I have a feeling that some of the younger set won't have such an easy time with the shallow, repetitive nature of the racing – especially compared to the similarly priced likes of Burnout 3, Burnout Revenge or Need For Speed Most Wanted.
The audio is about what you'd expect from an Outrun game - nearly perfect. Both the remixes and original OR songs enhance the action, and accurately reflect the casual vibe given off throughout it.
While some of the content is new, the game plays exactly the same--fast, thick with the flavor of classic arcades, and kind of simplistic. [Jun 2006, p.110]
Nostalgia and style are weak currencies to a mass market obsessed with content, and OutRun's primary commercial frailties are its simplicity, its repetition and its lack of long-term structure.
While it can get monotonous at times, there is plenty of fuel in the tank of OutRun 2006 Coast 2 Coast.

Aug 5, 2013This arcade style game is sort of like Ridge Racer meets the original 16-bit Outrun. If you don't like drifting, Ferrari, or the originalThis arcade style game is sort of like Ridge Racer meets the original 16-bit Outrun. If you don't like drifting, Ferrari, or the original Outrun game, you won't really understand this. The challenge of this game goes from boring to hard a little unevenly, but once it starts to get challenging you feel like its a game worth collecting. It has various game modes, cars to buy, and beautiful backgrounds. The music is really catchy and there are many tunes to unlock. The music is basically sonic the hedgehog or typical sega CD style. I'm not sure I'd recommend this game to a stranger, unless they already were familiar with Sega's past. It does have great music and its a good pick-me-up and play style game. Overall, Burnout and many other drivers will have more longevity for the player. Its not like there aren't enough PS2 racers. The current used cost on Ebay is a little high, but not outrageous. I'd recommend this more for Collectors and Sega fans. I will probably keep it for awhile. Its fun for awhile, and can get challenging if you stick with it.… Full Review »

It's not just a pick-up-and-play-arcade-racer, this is a game that implores you to love it and spend time with it collecting "OutRun Miles" to spend in the Showroom on music, cars or reversing the stages.
It may be "old" now but do your gaming soul a favour and buy both the PS2 and PSP versions, any missions you can't quite complete at home just copy across and do it on the go. The number of times a Man In A Suit has sat next to me on the commute home and obviously seethed with jealousy at not being able to swing the back-end of a Ferrari left and right through an S-bend.
Talking about the mechanics of OutRun 2006 may be like striping a beautiful women down to her bones, it's not really necessary to see what it's made of but comment must be made on drifting. It's essential that any game which includes missions such as "Avoid the Meteors" or "Drive Through Blue" or "Cut The Lines" gets this right. It not only gets this right by providing you with the tools to do it but also by making it pure joy.
The music isn't something that can just be defined as "Good" or "Bad", there's the original OutRun themes, remixed themes and new tracks from OutRun 2. Most music needs unlocking but just refer to the "OutRun Miles" comment.
It's a love letter to video games and it's simply amazing and it's tragic to think we'll probably never see the likes of it again. Here's a simple test, if you select "Night Flight" as your track of choice and whilst drifting around a sun-soaked stretch of road and you don't feel your spirit soar then walk on by, this isn't the game for you.
For the rest of us this is simply amazing.… Full Review »

Diamondbacks need to beat the bad
I can't stand it when teams play to their competition. Either you have a grotesque taste in your mouth that stains your soul when you lose or you use phrases like "it's early," "it's a long season," and "it's just one game."
Arizona splits with the Cubs in Phoenix while L.A. sweeps them at Wrigley. The Mets leave Chase Field with a series victory and go to L.A. to get swept by the Dodgers.
Comparing Arizona is the Dodgers is futile, I realize. They are in the midst of one of the most historic runs of regular season dominance. Remember the Dodgers-D-backs brawl? After that series, L.A. left for Pittsburgh. They lost the series. The Dodgers haven't lost a series since.
If the D-backs won series against Chicago and New York but split with the Rays and lost this recent series with Baltimore, I get it. The Rays and Orioles are excellent teams. There's no shame in losing to those clubs. I haven't figured out, however, how grinders lose to the weak and beat the strong.
Yes, you're wondering why am I writing this after three exciting, unbelievable walk-offs against Baltimore. The answer is, that's exactly why I'm writing this.
If you're truly a grinder, the weak will struggle against you. They should succumb to your grind-it-out at-bats and the unrelenting style. It's the Orioles and Rays who should beat you with their talent. Sure, your "grinder mentality" will steal a game in the series but the margin of error is too slim to win on a consistent basis against teams more talented than you.
I'm complimenting the players and staring them down, but I am not standing on the fence. The last three days show how good Arizona is. The results against the weak teams this year show that "grinder" is an over-used sales term. A grinder would not lower their focus with a rookie on the mound pitching for a below .500 team, but that's what has happened way too often this year.
Anytime a divisional opponent tears up baseball for as long as the Dodgers have, you're probably not going to win your division. It's unfair to expect any team to match the Dodgers. It is fair to expect this team to quit losing to the Padres. When the season is over, we'll look at the Dodgers record against below .500 teams and compare it to the D-backs.
I suspect we'll find out who the true grinders are.

Homefront This Week: Jazz, Cabaret and Big Band
Renner, Michael J., St Louis Post-Dispatch (MO)
Jazz in the Poetry, Poetry in the Jazz
Friday at the Forum for Contem porary Art, a rare treat is planned for jazz and literature lovers. "Jazz in the Poetry, Poetry in the Jazz" program features alto and soprano saxophonist and former St. Louisan Eric Person, performing with St. Louis poet Jonathan Smith. Accom panying Person will be bassist Willem von Hombracht, who's currently providing rhythmic support in the Willie Atkins Group.
A graduate of Normandy High School, Person left town in 1982 when he was 19. During a recent phone interview, Person said that while gigging around town, he was "just gearing up for New York. I kind of decided when I was 11 that I wanted to be a professional musician." Since leaving St. Louis, Person has focused on apprenticing with some of the most innovative jazz groups. His two-year stint with pianist (and also former St. Louisan) John Hicks and three years with Ronald Shannon Jackson's Decoding Society caught the ear of veteran drummer Chico Hamilton. Person has since played with the McCoy Tyner Big Band, David Murray's Big Band and drummer and fellow former hometowner Ronnie Burrage's Quintet. He also spent three years with the groundbreaking World Saxophone Quartet. He now leads his own group and plays with bassist Dave Holland's Quartet. Concerning his time with the World Saxophone Quartet, Person says "a lot of the things I learned about playing and the goals I wanted to {achieve}, I wasn't able to bring to fruition until after I left. I feel I'm playing far better than I was then. I'm trying to develop a sound that can be thoroughly recognizable, but not to get into any formulas. By doing what I'm doing, I feel like I'm revitalizing the music, bringing it into the future." While Smith and Person have not met, Smith has performed similar readings with Steve Kirby's group before that bassist also left for New York. Smith's work has been published in Callaloo, River Styx, Obsidian II and Quarterly West. After graduating from Princeton, Smith received a master of fine arts degree in creative writing from Washington University. Smith says that he relishes opportunities like this one. "My poems have many lives. You can read them and enjoy the aesthetics of the printed page, but as a performance piece they take on a new life. I don't look at poetry as a static art object. Poetry is part of the nature of jazz and the art of improvisation a there's something dynamic about it. " I'm influenced much more by musical forms than by literary forms, especially the black church rhythms of gospel," he says. …

Our Gathering
Sunday Gathering
10:30AM @ Queen Bee's
We are a casual, welcoming community. You can expect four elements every week that make up our Sunday gathering: Worship, Preaching, Prayer, and Communion.
Children's Ministry & Nursery
Through singing, games, activities, arts, and crafts we hope to cultivate and encourage spiritual growth in your children. All childcare workers have been trained and have undergone background checks to ensure the safety of your child.
Our Mission
The Commons is a community conspiring to proclaim the cross, working to cultivate disciples, embracing the oppressed, and inviting you to join the movement.
Our History
The Commons (formerly Hope Church North Park) began in 2011 with just a few people meeting in a living room. We were passionate about Jesus and passionate about seeing local, kingdom oriented, churches planted. So, with the help and support of another San Diego church that shared our vision, we began meeting publicly in 2012. Since then, we have continued to grow by establishing Elders and baptizing new disciples as we persist in serving our community and inviting all to join God's movement.

I used 1 cup of raspberries instead of 2 1/2 cups of blueberries and 1/4 cup milk and 1/2 cup sour cream instead of 1/2 cup milk. I also added 1/2 tsp cinnamon.

Rated 3.8 out of 5Â by 5 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5Â by studio1532 Meredith Robe I got the plum. The color is pretty and wanted the ivory one also until i open the package and the most awful odor. This robe is made in India and i have found that items from there seem to have odors and it never leaves. I am returning this robe and would like to know if any one has had this issue with this item. When i tried it on it did look like a robe, but it is pretty, just smells. So Sad. 2.22.2014
Rated 3 out of 5Â by sagepixie Cute but.... I agree with the other review, from the second I opened the package a very strong smell, very chemical like, hit me. I think it might be the dye? I got the plum colour, perhaps the other colour wont have the smell? I tried to air it out of the bag over night, and the smell has certainly reduced.....however I am still not sure if I am going to keep or return....I am certainly umming and ahhhing over it. The sleeves are cute, kimono like. It's certainly very big, so the xs/s would fit even a larger lady i think. Would definitely keep if it weren't for the chemical smell..... 2.26.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by diagonalley789 PRETTY Its true, there is an odor to this product that smells like chemicals or dye. I got the Ivory and it seems no matter which color you get, the is this strange odor. With that being said, it is still beautiful and soft. It is true to size and fits like a normal bath robe. However, I would feel its a waste to keep this strictly in the bath room since it does pair well with jeans and boots. I haven't washed it yet so maybe the smell with go away over time. Four stars for the smell but apart from that its a great robe. 9.14.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by SourKaramel Beautiful! First and foremost, there is definitely an odour to these robes. I have no idea what it is, it seems like some kind of chemical solvent which could be a by product of the dye used to make the robe pattern. I hung it outside for a few days and found that the odour disappeared almost completely. The fabric is so beautiful and soft and this robe hangs just wonderfully. It works well with jeans and a t-shirt and looks great with a simple dress. A great addition to any bohemian wardrobe. 4.6.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Kaemae Great robe! I am really pleased with this robe. I have the plum, and it's really pretty. I did not notice an odor as the last reviewer mentioned. It's roomy and light, and will be great for warmer weather. My only complaint would be that it's not machine washable, but that's only n inconvenience, not a problem. 2.25.2014

Originally written on PRO Rumors | Last updated 12/4/12
Right handed pitcher Felix Hernandez is under the Mariners control through 2014, but the team is already pushing to sign him to a contract extension that would make him a "Mariner for life" according to Jon Heyman of CBSSPorts. People is always talking about when the Mariners will finally trade him to a competing team, although nobody in the Mariners organization has given any indications that they would like to trade him. I even remember ESPNDeportes' Fernando Alvarez an experienced baseball journalist saying that he was going to be wearing a different uniform by the end of 2012 (I must say though, that this is the same guy who claimed that Miguel Cabrera was the ONLY logical choice to win the AL MVP). The truth is that Hernandez is comfortable where he is and the Mariners have no intentions to let him go. As Efrain Ruiz (Venezuelan baseball journalist) once said "Felix's challenge in baseball is to win with his organization." Hernandez, 26, went 13-9 with a 3.06 ERA, 2.84 FIP, 8.7 K/9, 2.2 BB/9, 0.5 HR/9 and a perfect game in 232.0 innings pitched for the Mariners in 2012.

Later today President Obama is expected to announce a "compromise" that allows religious employers to opt out of paying for providing birth control to women, but will still be required to provide contraception. What this means is, insurance companies will pick up the tab for contraception, but religious employers are still required to provide contraception through insurance plans to their employees, despite the move being against religious beliefs. ABC's Jake Tapper has more:
With the White House under fire for its new rule requiring employers including religious organizations to offer health insurance that fully covers birth control coverage, ABC News has learned that later today the White House — possibly President Obama himself — will likely announce an attempt to accommodate these religious groups.
The move, based on state models, will almost certainly not satisfy bishops and other religious leaders since it will preserve the goal of women employees having their birth control fully covered by health insurance.
Sources say it will be respectful of religious beliefs but will not back off from that goal, which many religious leaders oppose since birth control is in violation of their religious beliefs.
White House officials have discussed the state law in Hawaii, where religious groups are allowed to opt out of coverage that includes birth control, as long as employees are given information whether such coverage can be obtained. But this accommodation would not go that far.
This announcement would not go that far. Sources say it will involve health insurance companies helping to provide the coverage, since it's actually cheaper for these companies to offer the coverage.
It look as if the "compromise" isn't going to change much at all:
Whether the new language will accomplish this overtly political goal remains unclear. Two senior officials cautioned that the underlying substance of the contraceptive-coverage regulation, due to take full effect in the summer of 2013, remains unclear in the public mind and any new approach may not mollify critics in the Catholic hierarchy or on the GOP campaign trail. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the announcement.

H&M Conscious Foundation Asks Employees and Customers to Vote on What Matters
With the UN Millennium Development Goals as inspiration, the H&M Conscious Foundation will use its resources to address some of the world's most challenging problems, making a difference in communities where H&M operates. This means that the votes from H&M employees and customers will have a great impact.
"It is our responsibility to make a positive impact in the communities where H&M operates. Now we invite our employees and customers to tell us what they think the H&M Conscious Foundation should support. This will guide us to understand what issues are of concern to a large group of people across the world," says Karl-Johan Persson, CEO H&M and board member of the H&M Conscious Foundation.
The H&M Conscious Foundation has consulted a number of experts, selected for their commitment within different development issues, about which global challenges they find most immediate. Clean water, strengthening women, safeguarding natural resources, education and reduction of poverty through self-empowerment are the five most prioritized. These are also the issues to vote for at makeadifference.hm.com.
When the top three issues are decided by the H&M employees and customers, the foundation will partner with three world-renowned organizations to globally address these issues. Additionally, the foundation will initiate local programs in countries where H&M operates, mirroring the themes selected by the voting.
As inspiration on makeadifference.hm.com, the experts reveal which global challenges they find most immediate and why. Among them are Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs and Professor Johan Rockström.
"It is great that the H&M Conscious Foundation takes on the challenges of sustainable development by listening to the ideas of the global public. I am confident that with their commitment and global reach these efforts will promote many important initiatives. We can indeed be the generation that ends poverty and protects the Earth's ecosystems and biodiversity," says Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs, Director, Earth Institute, Columbia University and Special Advisor to United Nations Secretary-General on the Millennium Development Goals.

Manchester City: cannot score goals
Despite spending more money on centre forwards than the GDP of many small countries, Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has hit out at his expensive collection of strikers, claiming they must be more efficient in front of goal.
The English champions have spent close to 100 million pounds on Sergio Aguero, Carlos Tevez, Mario Balotelli and Edin Dzeko but the quartet have more chance of hitting a barn door than the back of the net. This contrasts dramatically from the last campaign where all four enjoyed rich veins of form. This term they've scored a measly scored 19 goals between them.
Meanwhile Mancini looks over to Old Trafford where one of his summer targets, Robin van Persie, has 10 goals already this season. The Italian is desperate for his marksman to catch fire with the derby just 24 hours away.
"It's always the case that you can have one striker in a difficult spell during the season," he told reporters.
"Usually, when you have four strikers, two or three of them are not scoring but one is.
"But at the moment we have four strikers who can't score.
"This can change maybe on Sunday and after that it will be OK. But we need to work more.
"Our season depends on our strikers. If we start to score like last year we will have a big chance."
What Mancini has to realise though is that his strikers no longer wish to play for him and are just biding their time until either Pep Guardiola or Jose Mourinho decide to enter the Etihad drama factory.
Carlos Tevez is the man that refused to play for Mancini in Munich last season and resentment runs deep. Eden Dzecko is used as nothing more than a super-sub despite scoring goals from the bench. Mario Balotelli is the wild child that the Italian simply cannot tame while Sergio Aguero looks like he's lost a little of the enthusiasm he used to show for English football. The physical nature of the league has taken its toll on him.
Excuses are ten-a-penny in football and with European football just a dream for City this season after crashing out of the UEFA Champions League, only retaining the Premiership title will save his job and even that is no guarantee.
Goals are the currency of strikers and they always decide the fate of managers - it feels like the mint has been cast for Mancini and his fab four.

Critical Review by Rita D. Jacobs
SOURCE: Jacobs, Rita D. Review of Back When We Were Grownups, by Anne Tyler. World Literature Today 76, no. 2 (spring 2002): 154.
In the following review, Jacobs claims that although Back When We Were Grownups is a good read, it is not one of Tyler's best novels.
Anne Tyler's characters can be so familiar and so fully imagined and presented that reading a Tyler novel is a bit like visiting with the family down the road, albeit a family with many quirks. in Back When We Were Grownups Rebecca Davitch, a fifty-three-year-old grandmother who runs a catering business, The Open Arms, in her home, is trying to make sense of her past and define her future against the backdrop of fashioning celebrations of life's events for strangers.
Rebecca is left alone after her husband's death to deal with three grown stepdaughters...

Gear Question
I am using US7 burton progression. how is...
I am using US7 burton progression. how is this boots compared to that of mine?? i actually bought ride anthem boa US7 too but being few soft flex it actually hurts my feet and i tried two different binding too and it hurt on both (07 super titan and an old salomon that I can't remember the brand). It's very hard to find a good fit too. I usually wear 24cm, us6 but not many boots come in that size though i have no problem with the rental burton progression except it feels very bulky
Four Horsemen
The boot will be built around a similar last to the progression boot. however, the ruler will be much, much lighter weight as its made out of better materials, will be a medium flexing boot, and really responsive.
The progression boots are made for rental applications so they are made to be ridden by a million different people and take a beating. They are built bulky on purpose.
You will not be disappointed with the flex or feel of the ruler. STOKED!

The guy above me and below me in your Search Results is all wrong for you.
I wonder if that headline will be as funny to you as it was in my head. Sometimes I think I am funnier than I actually am. Every time I start to write this description, I get stuck. It starts to sound like one long contradictory run-on sentence. I am a traveler who feels the best place on earth is being at home with loved ones. My career is important to me, and I enjoy what I do, but it doesn't define me or serve as the basis of my self-worth. I enjoy the theater and sporting events with equal vigor. The list goes on, I guess I'm a bit of a dichotomy. I am passionate about almost everything. This has proved to be both a blessing and a curse. (more of a blessing, thankfully) I want "experience" the World and not live vicariously. I'm an avid reader, but I feel that I can't really know something until I've done it. I love to travel. ABSOLUTELY love it. I've been very fortunate in my life to have had the opportunity to travel often. To me, it's one of the most rewarding activities I engage in. I authentically enjoy learning about new places and understanding other cultures and meeting new people. I've had some amazing experiences that I cherish deeply. I am lucky enough to have an amazing group of friends who have added so much to my life that it would be impossible to overstate how much they mean to me. I find humor in almost everything and find that a positive, light-hearted approach to most things in life is generally the right path for me. I have a serious side and I definitely know when it's time to focus and get things done, but I try not to spend too much of my free-time worrying or stressing out about things outside of my control. Spirituality is important to me and I practice meditation regularly. Basically, I feel comfortable in my own skin and have a life that I am both proud of and enjoy very much. I am hopeful and optimistic that I will find someone to share this journey with. If I've learned anything it's that the only truly important thing in life is the people around you and that everything is better when you have someone to share it with.

Sanpaku gan (三白眼?) or Sanpaku (三白?) is a Japanese term means "three whites" originated from a Chinese term. It is generally referred to in English as "sanpaku eyes" and refers to eyes in which the white space above or below the iris is visible.
Myths and history[edit]
According to Chinese myth, when the bottom of the white part of the eye, known as the sclera, is visible it represents physical imbalance in the body and is claimed to be present in alcoholics, drug addicts and people who over-consume sugar or grain. Conversely, when the upper sclera is visible it is said to be an indication of mental imbalance in people such as psychotics, murderers, and anyone rageful. Stress and fatigue may also be a cause.[1]
In August 1963, macrobiotic pioneer George Ohsawa predicted that President John F. Kennedy would experience great danger because of his sanpaku condition. This was reported by Tom Wolfe in the New York Herald Tribune.[2]
In popular culture[edit]
John Lennon mentioned sanpaku in his song "Aisumasen (I'm Sorry)" from the 1973 Mind Games album. It is also briefly referenced in William Gibson's Neuromancer, as well as in Michael Franks' 1979 song "Sanpaku". The Firesign Theatre's piece "Temporarily Humboldt County" mentions a character named "Sam Paku".
Notable people with sanpaku[edit]

- John F. Kennedy[4]
- Sal Mineo[3]
- Marilyn Monroe[4]
- Robert Pattinson[4]
- Sylvester Stallone[3]
- Natalie Wood[3]

In Illustrator CS5 One-on-One: Advanced, author and industry expert Deke McClelland teaches how to take advantage of the wide array of dynamic features in Illustrator CS5. This course demonstrates how to apply these features to paths, groups, and editable text to create professional-quality artwork. The course covers Live Trace, Live Paint, and Live Color, as well as symbols, gradients, exporting, and integration with Photoshop. Exercise files accompany the course.
In this exercise I am going to show you how to modify two blends at the same time and then we are going to take them and place them inside of a mask, and then we are going to take that mask and put it inside yet another mask. I have saved my progress as Menacing eyebrow.ai, and I am going to zoom out here so that we can take in the face of the sarcophagus right here. Notice that I've got these extreme paths at the top and the bottom on both sides of the sarcophagus and I want to blend between them in order to create a kind of ribbing effect. Now I would like to go and select these objects, but for me they're on a locked layer.
So I am going to unlock this shield & ribs layer by clicking on the lock icon to turn it off and then I will click on this top path here and the bottom path. And this time around, because we have done it so many times, so I am just going to press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+B or Cmd+Option+B on a Mac. Because those two paths sport identical strokes and no fills, Illustrator gives us a single step in between. All right, that's fine, we'll come back to it. I will click on this path outline and this one in order to select both of them. Press Ctrl+Alt+B or Cmd+Option+B again in order to blend between those two paths.
Now I want to modify the steps associated with these two blends at the same time. So with this one selected I will Shift+ Click on this guy to select it as well, and because I have the Black Arrow tool active I go ahead and select the entire blend, because it's part of a single blend object. So I have both blends selected. Now I will go over to the Blend tool and double-click on it to bring up the Blend Options dialog box. I will switch Spacing from Smooth Color to Specified Steps. I'll see that I have a single step and nothing more.
I want that steps value, just based on experience here, I want it to be 15. And then I will press the Tab key and I fill in the ribs, like so. They need to be clipped, as well, inside of this sort of a accordion shape right there. So I will go ahead and click OK to accept my changes and I want to grab this shape. However, I got to Switch tools. So I will press the V key to get my Black Arrow tool. I will click on this path outline to select it. It needs to be in front of the blends in order to mask him. So I will press Ctrl+X or Cmd+X on a Mac to cut that shape.
Then I'll select both of the blends. It's important that you select both of them, so that you can don't end up pasting between the two. So click on one, Shift+Click on the other, and press Ctrl+F or Cmd+F on the Mac in order to paste that shape into place. Now the reason we can see through it, is because it contains a translucent gradient. Now here is the thing. This is, I don't know if it is the most complex gradient on earth. I will go ahead and bring up my Gradient panel so I can see. Apparently, I'm blending from a shade of brown right here to that exact same shade of brown, I believe.
Well, actually it does change a little bit here inside the Color panel. So the color stops are a little bit different from each other, but one is 100% opaque, the first one is. You will see the Opacity value there is 100%, and if I click on that second color stop, its Opacity value is 0%. So I have a translucent gradient, in other words, and that's why I can see through this shape. However, here's the deal. Any time you convert a shape to a clipping mask, you lose its Fill and Stroke attributes. You can reinstate them, but initially you lose them. This has been the way it is since Illustrator '88.
It's a shame a shame that Illustrator hasn't fixed this problem by now. You should be able to retain those Fill and Stroke attributes. However, what you do upfront if you know you are going to lose them and you want to be able to reinstate them more easily than having to write down all these settings and reapply them manually. Go ahead and select the shape as I have done so that you are telling Illustrator here is the Fill and Stroke attributes I want to work with and then just grab something like the Rectangle tool, any tool will do, and just go ahead and draw a shape.
So I will draw it out here in this sort of empty area in the background. Just in order to save those Fill and Stroke attributes for later. Now I don't have any stroke attributes, but I do go ahead and save my Gradient Fill. Now having done that I will switch back to Black Arrow tool by pressing the V key, and I'll click on the path outline to select it, and then I will Shift+Click on each of the two blends in order to select them as well. Now anytime you're creating a clipping mask, the top path outline is going to clip everything else. So now I will go up to the Object menu and I'll choose Clipping Mask and I will choose Make or press Ctrl+7, Cmd+7 on a Mac.
Sure enough, I go ahead and mask those blends. Sure enough, I also loose my Fill and Stroke attributes, that are assigned to the clipping mask at any rate. Now I will press the I key to get my eyedropper and I'll click anywhere inside of this little rectangle I created. So I will click like so and that goes ahead and assigns that fill to the blends, which is not what I want at all. So the blend must be selected in addition to the clipping mask, what do I do? Well, of course you press Ctrl+Z, Cmd +Z on a Mac, because this is a mistake.
I will go ahead and twirl open shields & ribs and then I will scroll down and try to find the selected group. There it is! I will twirl it open, and there is the clipping mask. So I could select this path outline independently of the others using White Arrow tool. That's one way to work, because I want to select into a group. Another ways is to find it here inside the layers panel. That's the way I prefer to work. Then meatball that clipping path, the item that's called clipping path, which is the mask, independently of everything else. I still have my Eyedropper selected. So I will click inside of that gradient in order reassign that Fill to the clipping mask.
So that's one clipping mask, what about the other one? Well, I want to go ahead and place this larger sort of accordion shape inside of the face of the sarcophagus. So I'll switch to my Black Arrow tool by pressing the V key. I will click on this outer sort of rectangular shape right there in order to select it, that is this prospective rectangle. I will press Ctrl+X, Cmd+X on the Mac in order to cut it, because I've got to place it in front once again so that it's at the front of the stack. Then I'll click on this object to select the whole group, mind you, not just the clipping path even though only the clipping mask is showing up onscreen, everything is selected.
Then I will press Ctrl+F or Cmd+F on the Mac in order to paste it in front. Now it's obscuring everything behind it. So I have got to dig into the layers panel again. Luckily, I am scrolled to the right location here inside of the panel. Let's go ahead and hide that Gradient panel. Actually, this reminds me I need to make sure to back up that gradient. This is an even more complex gradient, because it contains three different color stops. I am not even going to bother to check out exactly what those color stops are. Instead, I am going to press the M key to switch to my Rectangle tool.
Again, it doesn't matter what shape you draw, just any shape will do. With this larger path outline selected go ahead and draw a rectangle that will automatically fill with that same gradient, because it's active, and then, here inside the Layers panel you need to click on the path outline. That's it right there, that's below this sort of shield group right there. Go ahead and click on it, that is meatball it, in order to select it and then Shift+Meatball the group underneath which represents the clipping mask and its content. Now we are going to mask them together by going up to the Object menu, choosing Clipping Mask once again, and choosing Make.
So you can place a clipping mask inside of another clipping mask as deep as you want to go. So you can nest as many clipping masks as you like, and I am going to do that by choosing the command or pressing Ctrl+7, Cmd+7 on a Mac. It goes ahead and clips just like I wanted to, however, of course we lose the Fill and Stroke attributes. I don't want to assign this fill here to everything that's selected. So I need to twirl open that group right there. It gets a little complicated, but you've just got to be systematic in terms of your approach. Go head and twirl open that group. Meatball that top clipping path, because that's the one that we want to refill and then I will press the I key in order to my Eyedropper and I'll click inside of that rectangle. That goes ahead and reassigns the gradient.
You can even see it here inside the thumbnail in the Layers panel. That reinstates that gradient fill to that clipping mask, and, by the way, it also reassigns the stroke. There was a stroke associated with that path originally, and we get this effect here. Now I'll switch to the Black Arrow tool by pressing the V key. Then I will go ahead and click on one of these path outlines, these rectangles that I no longer need. I will click on one, Shift+Click on the other so that they are both selected. I will press Backspace key or the Delete key on the Mac in order to get rid of them and this is the effect that we ultimately achieve.
Two blends inside of one clipping mask that we then place inside of another clipping mask, without losing our Fill or Stroke attributes, contrary to the way that Illustrator normally works, thanks to the fact that we took a systematic approach to the entire process.

"I used to take 'em out to eat but they wasn't really eatin'
from Common (Ft. Bilal & John Legend) – Faithful Lyrics on Genius
He's taking them out on a date but he's not really dating them which is why he follows up with I might have fooled around but I didn't really have sex. This is all alluding to the religious context that he knows he's committing sins against God, but doesn't think they're very serious which is why he doesn't admit them.

The fan base for Muse grows with every release. 2006 s Black Holes And Revelations broke into the U.S. Top 10 while hitting #1 in the U.K. and much of Europe, where it sold 1 million copies and was #3 on NME's Albums Of The Year list. A multiple BRIT Award winner for Best Live Act,Muse then staged two massive sold-out performances at 90,000-seat Wembley Stadium in London last June, which increasingly are recognised as amongst the definitive live moments of the year. The best performances from those concerts, as well as bonus backstage footage, are presented on the CD/DVD set HAARP. The concerts once again demonstrated the raw power and unquenchable ambition of one of the UK's most successful long-term bands and one of, if not the, greatest, most ambitious live act in the world at the present time.

VIDEO: Bateman, Forte, Helms & Sudeikis Parody Mumford & Sons
Funnymen Jason Bateman, Will Forte, Ed Helms and Jason Sudeikis find themselves back on the prairie in a hilarious new video parodying country music greats Mumford & Sons. Complete with backwoods clothing, unshaven facial hair and primitive instruments, the actors combine the band's well-known sound with their own brand of zany humor. Check it out below!
Mumford & Sons consists of Marcus Mumford (lead vocals, guitar, drums, mandolin), Ben Lovett(vocals, keyboards, accordion, drums), Winston Marshall (vocals, banjo, guitar, resonator guitar), and Ted Dwane (vocals, string bass, drums, guitar). The group formed in December 2007.
Mumford & Sons recorded an EP, "Love Your Ground", and performed in small to medium-sized venues in the UK and the United States playing to new audiences and raising interest for a forthcoming album. Their debut album, Sigh No More, was released in the UK and Ireland in October 2009, and February 2010 in the US. The album reached number one in Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, and eventually peaked at number two on the UK Albums Chart and the Billboard 200 in the US.
The band gained popularity throughout 2010, performing for larger audiences and making their first network television appearances in the US. On 1 December 2010, the band received two Grammy Awardnominations, one for Best New Artist and the other for Best Rock Song ("Little Lion Man"). The ensuing live performance at the Grammy ceremony in February 2011 led to increased airplay and popularity for singles from Sigh No More. The band won the ARIA Music Award for Most Popular International Artist in 2010, and the Brit Award in 2011 for Best British Album.
The band's second studio album Babel was released in September 2012.The album debuted at number one in the UK and US, becoming the fastest selling album of 2012 in the UK, and the second-biggest selling debut in 2012 in the US.[2][3] At the 2013 Grammy Awards, they sang "I Will Wait" and Babel won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. In 2013 the band won a Brit Award for Best British Group.

*A tarball is like an archival zip file. It compiles all files selected and creates a single bitstream (a single file) with the file extension .tar. In the case of this collection, the tarballs have also been compressed using gzip, and have the extension .tar.gz. They can be uncompressed using 7-zip software ( http://www.7-zip.org/ ), or using the standard command line tools. In a Linux environment, for example, you can extract the contents of a tarball by issuing the following command:
tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz
