Alfred Leete
Alfred Ambrose Chew Leete (1882–1933) was a British graphic artist. Born at Thorpe Achurch, Northamptonshire,[1] he studied at Kingsholme School, Weston-super-Mare, before moving to London in 1899 and taking a post as an artist with a printer. His career as a paid artist had begun in 1897 when the Daily Graphic accepted one of his drawings; later he contributed regularly to a number of magazines including Punch magazine, the Strand Magazine, Tatler, etc. As a commercial artist he designed numerous posters and advertisements, especially in the 1910s and 1920s, for such brands as Rowntrees chocolates, Guinness and Bovril, and his series of advertisements for the Underground Electric Railways Company (the London Underground) were very well known; his work as a wartime propagandist includes the poster for which he is known above all, the Lord Kitchener poster design, which first appeared on the cover of the weekly magazine London Opinion on 5 September 1914. "His prolific output was characterized by its humour, keen observation of the everyday, and an eye for strong design"[2]
Leete died in London in 1933. In 2004, Leete's work was on display in his native Weston at the North Somerset Museum.[3]

THE 100th anniversary of the day the iconic Your Country Needs You poster was published, encouraging young men to sign up to fight in the Great War, took place last Friday.
Comments Email Print
The man behind the design, Alfred Leete, grew up in Weston as his parents ran the Addington Hotel on the seafront.
For many, the image symbolises recruitment in World War One. It features an imposing portrait of Lord Kitchener with an outstretched hand, and was later copied and adopted in the US with the face of Uncle Sam in 1917.
Leete was born in Northamptonshire on 28 August 1882, and his parents, John and Harriet, were farmers. The family moved to Weston in 1893.
Instead of following in his father's footsteps, Leete wanted to pursue a career in drawing.
With his father's blessing he left school aged 12 to work for a surveyor in Bristol, and five years later he moved to London to become a commercial artist.
Leete was aged 32 when the conflict broke out, and by this point he had established his reputation as a quality artist.
On 5 September 1914, his bold Kitchener sketch featured on the front of Opinion magazine, emblazoned with the bold caption, Your Country Needs You.
But this was not the last time this image would be used to encourage young men to sign up. In fact, it was turned into an unofficial recruiting poster by the magazine.
Leete himself joined the fight in 1916, serving in France on the Western Front. At this time, his typical drawing style, usually cartoons with cheeky captions, was replaced with sensitive watercolour washes.
Unlike many others, Leete survived the war and died on 17 June 1933, in London and is buried in Milton Road Cemetery.
But his legacy lives on, as the design is still copied and reproduced today. A replica of his poster and some of Leete's original cartoons are on display at Weston Museum. The exhibition, called Five Lives, Five Stories, is open to the public until 14 December. It is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am-5pm.

Hi Velomane; we do have a double monk in darker brown suede. We won't be stocking a lighter suede monk this fall, however, we can have it as an MTO at anytime. We tend to do more stock models in the Rain and Inca lasts as it accommodates more of our clients, but we have this on in the Alcudia last as well.

Joaquin Andujar for Luis Sanchez and some other guy
how about this acumen
Joaquin Andujar for Luis Sanchez and some other guy
You mean the Reds had Andujar? Owwie.
"Don't trust any statistics you did not fake yourself."--Winston Churchill
IIRC--and the brain's not real sharp as it used to be - He got into it with Vern Rapp at Indy - and he didn't have much control - Nuke LaLoosh-like.
Howsam pawned him off - and it "clicked".
Andujar used to always love pitching against the Reds. He always seemed to do well, and let the Reds know they made a mistake.
Some people play baseball. Baseball plays Jay Bruce.
they thought it was more exigent to kepp Santo Alcala instead
When I see the 2015 Reds, I see a 100 loss team.
Thank you Walt and Bob for bringing winning baseball back to Cincy
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
talent was not important to the hierarchy, fitting in with the demographic was the key
From wikipedia and something that a lot of us "older types" probably remember:
In 1985, Andújar went 21-12 and made his fourth All-Star team as the Cardinals returned to the World Series. The World Series against the Kansas City Royals was a disaster for Andújar. He started and lost Game 3; manager Whitey Herzog said the umpires gave Saberhagen a wide strike zone and squeezed Andjuar. In game 7, with the Cardinals losing 11-0, Herzog brought in Andujar to mop up. Umpire Don Denkinger called the first pitch a ball even though it was a perfect strike. Whitey Herzog exploded and was ejected. Andujar was ejected after the next pitch by umpire Don Denkinger, who misread a gesture by Joaquin Andujar to his catcher. Some believe that Cardinals manager Whitey Herzog purposely sent the volatile Andújar to the mound as payback for Don Denkinger's infamous call in Game 6. Before getting ejected by Denkinger in Game 7, Herzog said to Denkinger, "We wouldn't even be here if you hadn't missed the ****ing call last night!" However, Herzog has often stated Andújar was his only pitcher that still had any life left in his arm. Andújar was so furious that after Game 7, he took a baseball bat and smashed a toilet in the Cardinals' clubhouse in Kansas City's Royals Stadium.
Cardinal ownership demanded Andujar be traded after the Series, and the Cardinals traded him to Oakland. Before he could play for Oakland, he was suspended 10 games (reduced to 5) for the World Series altercation with Denkinger. He and six other players were suspended for the 1986 season for admitting during the Pittsburgh drug trials that they had abused cocaine. The suspensions were reduced to anti-drug donations and community service.
I used to think the guy was crazy! I'll never forget his blowup in game 7 of the 1985 Series. I just sat there and couldn't believe that someone could act like that in the World Series and not be ashamed.

Dave Gibbons Watchmen #5 Rorschach Dons His Mask Page 18 Original Art (DC, 1987). "This relentless world: there is only one response to it --" One of the key players in the Watchman saga, Rorschach discusses his origins with the prison psychiatrist in this classic flashback sequence. This great, self-contained and symmetrically designed (not to mention hair-raising) page by writer Alan Moore and ace artist Dave Gibbons features the ultimate vigilante suiting up for battle. Inspired by Steve Ditko's philosophical heroes The Question and Mr. A, Alan Moore took Ditko's concepts to their mind-bending end point. As Moore related, "Steve Ditko's Question/Mr. A, Rorschach is a kind of logical extension of that character but I'm sure it's not one that Steve Ditko himself ever imagined, in fact I did hear that someone was interviewing Steve Ditko and asked him whether he'd seen Watchmen and this character in it called Rorschach and he said 'Oh yes, I know that, he's the one who's like Mr. A, except Rorschach is insane.'" Insane or not, Rorschach is undoubtedly the most popular character in the renowned miniseries, playing a pivotal role in the story that marked a turning point in comic book history, and here is one of the finest Rorschach pages yet offered in the marketplace. Watchmen fans, "Sometimes the night is generous..." This masterpiece of mayhem has an image area of approximately 10" x 15.75", and aside from a light band of paper aging around the borders, the art is in Excellent condition.

BMC Public Health 2010, 10:557 doi:10.1186/1471-2458-10-557Published: 17 September 2010
Malaria in pregnancy in India, as elsewhere, is responsible for maternal anemia and adverse pregnancy outcomes such as low birth weight and preterm birth.
It is not known whether prevention and treatment strategies for malaria in pregnancy (case management, insecticide-treated bednets, intermittent preventive therapy) are widely utilized in India.
This cross-sectional study was conducted during 2006-2008 in two states of India, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh, at 7 facilities representing a range of rural and urban populations and areas of more versus less stable malaria transmission. 280 antenatal visits (40/site) were observed by study personnel coupled with exit interviews of pregnant women to assess emphasis upon, availability and utilization of malaria prevention practices by health workers and pregnant women. The facilities were assessed for the availability of antimalarials, lab supplies and bednets.
All participating facilities were equipped to perform malaria blood smears; none used rapid diagnostic tests. Chloroquine, endorsed for chemoprophylaxis during pregnancy by the government at the time of the study, was stocked regularly at all facilities although the quantity stocked varied. Availability of alternative antimalarials for use in pregnancy was less consistent. In Jharkhand, no health worker recommended bednet use during the antenatal visit yet over 90% of pregnant women had bednets in their household. In Chhattisgarh, bednets were available at all facilities but only 14.4% of health workers recommended their use. 40% of the pregnant women interviewed had bednets in their household. Only 1.4% of all households owned an insecticide-treated bednet; yet 40% of all women reported their households had been sprayed with insecticide. Antimalarial chemoprophylaxis with chloroquine was prescribed in only 2 (0.7%) and intermittent preventive therapy prescribed in only one (0.4%) of the 280 observed visits.
A disconnect remains between routine antenatal practices in India and known strategies to prevent and treat malaria in pregnancy. Prevention strategies, in particular the use of insecticide-treated bednets, are underutilized. Gaps highlighted by this study combined with recent estimates of the prevalence of malaria during pregnancy in these areas should be used to revise governmental policy and target increased educational efforts among health care workers and pregnant women.

Coloradans appear to be getting the message that it will cost them if they don't register their vehicles on time.
Owners paid less in late fees in August than in the previous two months, according to the state Department of Revenue.
Tardy Coloradans shelled out $2.5 million in late fees in August, compared with $2.8 million in July and $3.6 million in June.
"Anytime there is a penalty for violating the law, you'll see an increase in compliance," said Mark Couch, revenue spokesman.
"When there is no penalty, there is no incentive for some people to pay on time.
"That said, most of us do pay on time."
September figures are not available.
The mandatory late fines are part of a law — dubbed FASTER — that increases vehicle registration fees for three straight years, beginning this year, to help raise money for roads and bridges. The average increase this year is $32; it's $41 in the third and final year.
The public has not been shy about letting Gov. Bill Ritter and lawmakers know what they think of the late fee, which ranges from a minimum of $25 to a maximum of $100. Previously, the maximum fine was $10 and about half of Colorado's county clerks chose not to impose it.
Rep. Kevin Priola, R-Henderson, said the FASTER bill tops all other state topics his constituents bring up.
And Rep. Ellen Roberts, R-Durango, said she spent most of the summer fielding calls and "hearing a lot of sad stories" from people hit with late fines and higher fees.
Lawmakers had no idea when they passed FASTER that the late-fee provision would be such a financial windfall, according to an August legislative memo. The state had no idea of the number of late registrations because most transactions are handled by the counties.
Rep. Buffie McFadyen, D-Pueblo West, said part of the adjustment is that so many counties didn't charge late fees.
"Change is difficult," she said. "But those of us who do register our vehicles on time subsidize those who don't."

The Rolling Stones remain locked in negotiations over the Tv coverage of their Glastonbury performance just a day before they are due to hit the stage at the legendary British music festival.
The band has signed up to headline the event's iconic Pyramid Stage on Saturday night (29Jun13), but reports emerged last month (May13) suggesting the rockers were unhappy with plans to broadcast their set on the Bbc.
Festival founder Michael Eavis recently suggested a deal had been made to show an hour of the Stones' performance, but it has now emerged the two parties were still without agreement on Friday afternoon.
A spokesman for the Bbc tells the London Evening Standard, "The discussions with artists are absolutely business as usual. Our conversations with The Rolling Stones have been extremely constructive and are ongoing."
An insider tells the newspaper The Rolling Stones will not finalise the deal until hours before the big gig: "The band will decide how much will be shown tomorrow afternoon (Saturday 29 June). They signed up to perform on stage - not to appear on a television programme. Glasto is not a Tv show."

Good luck everyone!
Amilkam-- Congrats!! how many DPO were you when you got your BFP?
JustJenny--sending you strength! 9-14DPO is a tough time to get through!! I always cave, but I told myself that in the future I'm not going to!
LivingSky--Ditto to you, it's gotta be even tougher because you thought you could have been further along. TWW sucks, even more so when it stretches into the 3WW, LOL
InLove2009--Good luck! Lots of baby dust your way
anyalily--did you get your temp spike this morning?
AFM--DH got home later than expected and I was exhausted and the headcold was a little worse, so we skipped BDing. We agreed that we weren't going to force ourselves to do it when we really aren't in the mood. Don't ever want it to feel like a chore, you know? So then I temped this morning hoping for a spike, but it just went up by .2 degrees which was disappointing. Maybe I'll have a slow rise? I guess I just have to wait and see.
Then all day long I've been feeling a sort of heaviness and bloat really low in my pelvis, which is just odd. This whole cycle has been really odd, starting off with the lightest period known to man, and on top of that I've had cramping and bloat all cycle long and that usually only happens around AF. I have no idea what is going on with my crazy body.
I found a few more Wondfo ovulation strips in my closet, so I took one on a whim today (because I'm addicted to peeing on sticks) and it is another bold positive. That makes 3 days in a row of definite +OPKs, with a 4th that was "almost" positive the day before the positive streak started. Again, WTF is going on with my body.

Kitteh- I know what you mean about not wanting it to be a chore! Last year when we were trying it felt like a chore. And it made us tense. And we fought. No good at all!
I am of no help with the temping, because I could never get accurate temps for myself either, and it just drove me crazy. So I stopped temping. As for the 4 days of positive OPKs... I have no idea. Maybe you have not gotten the 'one' yet? A friend of mine thought she was ovulating for 4 days, and on the fifth she got one that was way darker, so she knew the other ones were juts leading up to it.... Or maybe you o'd more than once? Does that even happen?
Good luck!

LivingSky--I've heard the OPKs pick up pregnancy too. And honestly, I just FEEL pregnant. First of all, I have light periods but never just spotting like I had this time. And I've been crampy and gassy and bloated all cycle, with dull lower-back aches and pressure in my lower abdomen/pelvis. I've also been really tired and low energy and CRANKY. LOL even DH has been saying that I've gotta be pregnant. But my boobs aren't in on it, and with Ela they were HUGE and sore by 6 or 7 weeks. I figure that with DD nursing they would be the first symptom, but aside from some mild nipple sensitivity, nothing seems to be going on there. So there is that.
I took about a million HPTs during the TWW. The first batch I had were from early-pregnancy-tests .com and they all seemed to have a really super faint line,which was probably just an an evap. Then I bought some wondfos off Amazon and all of those were negative. I just took my last Wondfo on Saturday and it was negative too.
So I'm at a total loss.

Kitteh - Thanks for the encouragement ;) As for you that is a little crazy! Maybe your sickness is delaying O? Wouldn't that cause a opk to keep saying positive? I only have 2 months of opk under my belt and it didn't go well, lol. Your symptoms today sure sounds like pregnancy.....Hope you get a clearer answer soon....

21 days!!!!! but possibly I ovulated later than I thought? I don't test for my ovulation more than monitoring my CM and how I feel
WOHMama to DD (July 2008) and DS (May 2013); wife to DH .
Live your life, like your life depends on it.
Kitteh, you're still BFing your DD, right? I know when I was expecting my DD2, I was still BFing and my boobs didn't grow until almost the end of my pg. My DD1 weaned around the end of my first trimester, and my boobs got SMALLER! So I asked my local LLL leader and she dug up some info which says that if you've BFed in the past your body has done the changes it needs to do for BFing already, so you may not experience an increase in your boobs until close to the birth because your body doesn't need much time to prepare this time around. All that to say that you may not see an increase in your bust size as a first sign of pregnancy!
That is the saddest thing I've ever heard. I spent most of my life pretty darn flat chested, so I was loving the full C cup that I got while pregnant and during the first year of DD's life. In fact, I dare say that the full rack was quite possibly the best thing about pregnancy and early motherhood (Yeah, I guess the whole baby part was pretty great too.) Now that they've shrunk back to almost their former size (only floppier and covered in stretch marks, SEXY!) I figured it was the perfect time to go get knocked up again and give em a natural boost. *Sigh*
So I caved yesterday and bought some FRERs and peed on one, BFN. No idea WTF is going on with my body. Nipples hurt like a mother when DD is nursing, still feeling bloaty and some slight nausea here and there, but no cramping today. I plan to do an OPK later because I'm crazy. And kind of curious to see what it says.
My cervix is a little lower and firmer today, and CM is creamy. BBT went up another .2 degrees this morning, but its still not high enough to set off FF's ovulation detector. Also, I thought it was interesting to note that my temps are all pretty low. Generally around 97.3 or so, with my one dip going into the high 96s but I temp vaginally, so I'd expect them to be higher!

kitteh - hope there are some concrete answers for you soon - but then again, as we all know, sometimes we just don't get the answers we want! I'm usually thoroughly confused at some point in every cycle. :P
I just realized that the last time I was 8dpo (where I am today), I had a BFP. I don't feel the same as I did then. Didn't even think of testing. Haven't been temping consistently, as I've had a cold, have been breathing through my mouth and getting wonky temps anyhow. I also had a sudden onset of dizziness/nausea today which made me go 'hmmmm....' - but then again, my head is full of snot and it's making me dizzy. Dizzy = nauseous, so nothing to be excited about. I may or may not test in the morning. I'm not overly excited about it either way, which is just so odd.
I think my friend's recent tragedy just changed perspective for me. I'm more intent on taking things day by day, moment by moment - and less focused on end results. That's not to say I won't be sad when AF arrives, or elated when I get a BFP. It's just that today, I'm feeling ambivalent.
Wife to the sweetest man in the world and Mama to 2 precious boys (7 and 9), and one little miracle girl (born June '13)
Sweet Mama- I am sorry that you feel that way. It sounds like you just feel really distant. I also hope that your head cold is better soon! You are in my prayers and I hope that your heart will heal from your tragedy.
I think that taking things day by day and moment by moment is a great approach, and one I'm really trying to embrace. When I think too far ahead--how many weeks will I be at Christmas if I'm pregnant now? How about DD's birthday? What kind of maternity clothes will I need for that season, etc etc--then I end up becoming really attached to that particular outcome without realizing it, which makes this crazy TTC journey so much more difficult. So I'm trying not to think too far ahead and instead am focusing on the moment. Trying to, anyhow.
This evening's OPK was negative, which is actually a relief. I really hope that I have already O'd and am not going to O later. I know that having a -OPK now doesn't necessarily mean I've already O'd, but it still was a relief to see. Now we'll just see if my temp continues to creep upward.

Yes - I think I'm feeling somewhat detached, which is expected after shocking and tragic news. I'm coming back, though...today was easier than yesterday, which I was grateful for.
Wife to the sweetest man in the world and Mama to 2 precious boys (7 and 9), and one little miracle girl (born June '13)
....oh, and I'm testing in the morning. Waaaaay too early (9dpo) - but why not? My last BFP was at 8dpo. :P
Wife to the sweetest man in the world and Mama to 2 precious boys (7 and 9), and one little miracle girl (born June '13)
Amlikam, congrats! I guess that's what the f was going on...
Kitteh, I hear you about not wanting it to be a chore. I have not had my temp spike yet, I may have been delayed because I got a shock a few night ago. I am ashamed and horrified to say that I have discovered bed bugs in my house. This is one of my greatest fears, I mean it literally, and I have been totally obsessed trying to clean the house and wash everything I own. Had to drop a bunch of money on a cedar oil treatment, and I am just praying it does the trick. I do not want pesticides in the house! And I want bugs even less! The little jerks have been biting us for a while and I have been searching for fleas, bed bugs, ants, spiders, anything that ould be biting... Why they only now made an appearance, I do not know. Ugh. So gross.
Don't worry friends, you can't catch bed bugs through chat rooms. I hope you all will still be my friends.
SweetMama, hearing about your friends terrible tragedy puts this in perspective, that I am blessed to have buggies and still have my loved ones. I have really been spinning out on this and I am sure the stress has set me back in one way or another. I am sending you a hug and wishes for strength. What a nightmare.
omg! anyalıly!! we JUST went through that. I am SO SURE ıt was bed bugs. We are vısıtıng famıly ın Turkey rıght now. We fırst went to bodrum (agean sea area) and we were EATEN ALIVE at my MILs house!!! And then to the black sea regıon and the fırst few days the kıds were stıll gettıng eaten and then ı used a carpet steamer on the matresses and floors... totally stopped! goodluck!! that ıs lıke my WORST fear! We could never see them though... ı kept loookıng and lookıng... nothıng. just horrıble bıtes all over me. lıke lıterally HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS of bıtes!! I was dyıng ı was ıtchıng sobadly!! (apparently they lıke the one wıth the warmest temp and ı cuaght a mıld cold whıle ı was here but ı guess enough to raıse my temp...) nıghtmare!!! ıf ı could post a pıc of what ı looked lıke ı would. ı mean... ı was covered from head to toe... about the only place ı dıdnt get bıt was my vajayjay. maybe even there too but ı was all amazonıan down there and couldnt tell ;) goodluck!!!
ALSO! they lıked coconut oıl whıch ı had been puttıng on my skın to relıeve the ıtchıng... uh... ı had about 1000 more after ı used that. so ı closed the lıd tıght after that and ıt calmed down a bıt.
DD1 7 1/2 years DS1 3 1/2 years And DS2 7/18/13
Ugh! I think I have them too! (Bed bugs, I mean.) I started waking up with tiny, itchy bites about a week ago. I've been in this house since July, so I don't know why they are suddenly showing up. I have never had them before, and brought all of my own beds and bedding from the old place. There are no carpets here, either, so I don't know where they could have hiddin...
I'm allergic to many pesticides, so I have to find something besides poisin to get rid of them.
Think Fertile Thoughts!!!
43 w/Emphysema - TTC from 2005 - 2013. 2 miscarriages in 2008. Good things do not come to those who wait.
anya - don't worry!!! SOMETHING is biting the hell out of me nearly every night in bed. But I'm the ONLY one getting bit. How is that possible? Our dogs did get fleas this summer, but we did massive flea control and pretty sure it was under control - so WHAT keeps biting me? How do I know if I have bedbugs? I've washed and washed and washed all bedding in hot water and borax, vaccuumed like crazy...I don't see anything, so what is it?
Thank you all for the amazingly wonderful support. I have a few PMs from amazing women who have offered tremendous support as well. Haven't gotten back to those, but I will (if you're out there reading this now!)
Before I do that, will you tell me what you see here?
9pdo...had an extreme dizzy/nauseous little thing yesterday, boobs have been heavy/super sore and well....my temps were good and I figured I'd test today. Did NOT expect this. Super shocked.
Going in for an HCG quant in a bit - and again Friday morning. PLEASE, be a sticky baby this time!!!! (and I'm really stunned by the irony of conceiving right when my dear friend lost her baby - I'd trade this baby so she could have hers back if I could....I really would.)

Oh no, maybe you can catch them through the interwebs! MyKid and Stevi, it is hellish! I am so sorry you have experienced this. I have read that steam and heat kill them, but sometimes you have to combine it with something else to get them all. I recommend this stuff called CedarCide. I don't want to advertise, so you can PM me for the deets, but it is a good preventative measure and it kills them on contact, plus the eggs, without harming the humans and animals. I had a small amount and was sometimes spraying my bed clothes, and on those nights I did not get bitten. I have faith that once I do the whole house once or twice, the biting will stop. I may have to do it all over again or try the heat thing, but at least I have something to fight them with.
Stevi, they hide in tiny nooks in bed frames and in the seams of mattresses, etc. They can also hide in the wall sockets. If your landlord did an incomplete treatment before you moved in (like just bombing or dusting the place or something) they could have been replenishing their numbers and are just making an appearance now. Nip it in the bud!
Anyway, I had my temp shift this morning, but we have not DTD since Sunday night so I think our timing wasn't great. I felt like I was O'ing but I think the stress of this whole thing may have delayed it a day or two. With DH on a twin bed in the office and me on the couch there hasn't been space or time for us to meet. Oh well. It is possible, but unlikely.

Are John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman nearing the end of their run as the voice of the Yankees?
Nov 14, 2010, 8:21 AM EDT
The Daily News reminds us that the Yankees contract with WCBS-AM expires at the end of the 2011 season, so with it so do the contracts of radio voiced John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman. Moreover, there has not been any serious negotiation between the Yankees and WCBS yet, and other stations are reportedly interested in…
The Red Sox want to keep Adrian Beltre and Victor Martinez
Nov 12, 2010, 5:20 PM EDT
Red Sox' GM Theo Epstein held a conference call with the Sox beat writers this afternoon. The most notable nugget, according to Pete Abraham: Theo said "in strong terms" that the Red Sox want Adrian Beltre and Victor Martinez back and that he's pursuing them. Specifically, he said that Martinez "would certainly be our first…
Ruben Amaro: never say never on Jayson Werth
Nov 12, 2010, 4:39 PM EDT
Yesterday Jayson Stark reported that an anonymous person in the Phillies front office said that Jayson Werth wasn't coming back to Philly. In fact, the quote was "No chance. None. Zero." Ruben Amaro is NOT happy about that: "That's unequivocally a false statement," Amaro said. "That did not come from me and I would not…
Deep thoughts: should your team's conditioning coach eat well?
Nov 12, 2010, 4:07 PM EDT
UPDATE: My bad. The quote about In-N-Out came from Spencer Dallin, the team's Assistant to the equipment manager. The strength coach is Jim Malone, mentioned earlier in the article. Apologies. Both for misreading the story, and for rendering moot a perfectly good Pablo Sandoval joke. Story on MLB.com about how a couple of Padres' employees…
The Best and Worst Uniforms of All Time: The Baltimore Orioles
Nov 12, 2010, 3:00 PM EDT
The Best: They've stayed quite steady over the course of their 56-year existence, but they've changed little details more than you might remember. They've switched between various cartoon and various realistic birds a number of times and they've messed with the orange/black/white ratio on the hats too. They've always looked pretty sharp, though, never running…
Anheuser-Busch sues Major League Baseball
Nov 12, 2010, 2:30 PM EDT
Anheuser-Busch has sued Major League Baseball, claiming that they had an agreement to continue their longstanding sponsorship deal that has AB brands as the official beer in every park but four of 'em. The article doesn't list the four, but I'm guessing Coors Field and Miller Park are two of them. Maybe Toronto is a…
The Best and Worst Uniforms of All Time: The Toronto Blue Jays
Nov 12, 2010, 2:00 PM EDT
The Best: The Blue Jays came out of the gate in 1977 with a bird's head smack dab in the center of the jersey. And you know what? I liked it! No, it wasn't totally sharp in an absolute sense, but it's certainly better than anything they've worn since. It has character, and it's pretty…
The Best and Worst Uniforms of All Time: The Boston Red Sox
Nov 12, 2010, 1:00 PM EDT

Rosenthal says the Rangers can sign Lee and Victor Martinez
Nov 12, 2010, 12:29 PM EDT
Ken Rosenthal writes today that he thinks the Rangers could be bigger players on the free agent market than some of us are giving him credit for: The defending American League champions, major-league sources say, are in strong enough financial position to add not one but two top free agents — left-hander Cliff Lee and…

Kato Kaelin: Brewers fan
Nov 12, 2010, 11:30 AM EDT
Baseball may not be the true National Pastime anymore, but it's still pretty darn popular. And it's certainly universal enough to where every team has a celebrity fan or two. This can be a weird thing to think about. I mean, it's hard to get my brain around the fact that, on any given night,…

Things that don't go together: Cleveland Indians Edition
Nov 12, 2010, 10:31 AM EDT
Paul Hoynes offers a couple of tidbits in his latest article about the Indians. first: . . . the $2.53 million the Indians spent on big-league free agents last winter — $850,000 for Mike Redmond and $1.5 million for Russell Branyan — may look like a lavish spending spree compared to this winter. Then: Here's…
The Cubs are asking the Illinois legislature for $200 million in Wrigley upgrades
Nov 12, 2010, 10:05 AM EDT
Attention Tea Partying Cubs fans: Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts is asking the state of Illinois to help finance more than $200 million in renovations at Wrigley Field. In a letter to season ticket holders and Wrigleyville residents, Ricketts said the Illinois General Assembly will be considering a bill to preserve Wrigley Field. The plan will…
Justin Morneau wants the fences brought in at Target Field
Nov 12, 2010, 9:30 AM EDT
The Star-Tribune reports that Justin Morneau said that the team's hitters "are very disappointed with the organization's decision not to move in the fences at Target Field for next season." In an email to the paper he said: "Right-center to left-center is ridiculous. [It's] almost impossible for a righthanded hitter to [homer to the] opposite…
Cashman: we're not desperate for Cliff Lee
Nov 12, 2010, 8:57 AM EDT
Here's Brian Cashman, talking about the Yankees' need for Cliff Lee: "I don't feel like we are in a desperate situation here. I think we have a lot of quality players on this team that won 95 games and fell two games short of a World Series." To the extent that you're never "desperate" when…
Hire Wally Backman! He tries to win!
Nov 12, 2010, 8:31 AM EDT
Interesting conversation in the comment thread to yesterday's post about how much impact a manager has on team performance. In response to a commenter who asked if I thought managers had absolutely no affect, I said, no, I thought that managers are ultimately limited on the top end by the talent on their team, but…
The challenge of writing for a newspaper audience
Nov 12, 2010, 6:33 AM EDT
Marc Carig is the Yankees' beat writer for the Newark Star-Ledger. He's easily my favorite Yankees' beat guy going,* partially because he does great work, partially because he's a nice, funny guy and partially because you can tell he takes his job seriously and thinks hard about his craft. That thinking is on display today…
Do managers matter?
Nov 11, 2010, 5:36 PM EDT
There has been a lot of heated talk about whether Wally Backman will be the bestest choice for Mets manager ever or whether he'll sink the entire Mets franchise.

Introducing the Jeff Francoeur autobiography
Nov 11, 2010, 4:58 PM EDT
My daughter brought this book home from school today. I'm assuming that "Eric Brown" is a pen name for Jeff Francoeur. I'm also assuming that my daughter checking out books about baseball is a desperate plea for more time with her father, who has been taken from her by this accursed sport, but I'll leave…
Jermaine Dye wants to pull a Jim Edmonds

Ken Rosenthal reports that Jermaine Dye — who spent 2010 playing golf, and my doesn't he look rested — intends to play baseball again. Rosenthal says that Dye has been contacted by the Rays, Rockies and Phillies. He didn't retire last year, he simply didn't want to play for the kinds of low-dollar offers he…
The Phillies hire Juan Samuel to coach third base, move Perlozzo to first
Nov 11, 2010, 4:00 PM EDT
Wow, ever write a blog post and realize that you didn't need much more than the headline. Yep, that pretty much says it all: Juan Samuel will be the third base coach, Sam Perlozzo moves to first. This pretty much negates everything I said about Samuel's stolen base proficiency the other day, because it's not…
The Best and Worst Uniforms of All Time: The Arizona Diamondbacks
Nov 11, 2010, 3:00 PM EDT
Best: Minor variations aside, the Diamondbacks have only really had two uniforms. The current one and the old one. The current one is not what I'd consider the Platonic ideal of baseball style, but as you'll see in a second, I believe it to be the superior look. Worst: Incorporating teal, purple, black, pinstripes and…
Heard This: Cliff Lee has concerns about Texas
Nov 11, 2010, 2:17 PM EDT
Over the past few weeks we've heard all manner of things about what may or may not motivate Cliff Lee. His wife hates New York. He's a country boy who wants to stay near Arkansas. Yankee fans are rude, rude rude! I think this kind of thing is somewhat meaningless — the contract offers are…
The Best and Worst Uniforms of All Time: The Los Angeles Dodgers
Nov 11, 2010, 2:00 PM EDT
The Best: The Dodgers are one of the three best lookin' teams of all time (I'll get to the other two in the coming days, but you can probably guess). Since adopting the basics of their now-classic design in 1938, they have really only changed two things: (1) the addition of the red number in…

Boliden: Boliden's Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Show Positive Trend Business Wire BOLIDEN, Sweden -- February 11, 2013 Regulatory News: Boliden: (STO:BOL)(TSX:BLS) The increased investments in exploration in recent years have, together with higher expectations of future metal prices, had a positive effect on the Boliden Group's mineral resources and mineral reserves*. "Our exploration results have been very good this year. The mineral resources in the Boliden Area and Garpenberg have showed stable development and increased dramatically at Aitik, albeit with low grades. We have also successfully reclassified two new deposits, Laver and Rockliden, as inferred mineral resources in 2012," says Jan Moström, Director Boliden Mines. Laver, in Norrbotten, is a large but relatively low grade copper deposit of a similar type to the Aitik one, while Rockliden, in Västernorrland, is a rich polymetallic mineralisation that contains not only gold, silver, copper, zinc and lead, but at times also high grades of antimony and arsenic. Rockliden has been known since the 1980s, but further exploration and improvements to both technological and market conditions mean that it can now be classified as a mineral resource. The primary focus of Boliden's exploration work is on zinc-, copper-, and precious metal-bearing ores. Boliden's mineral resources and mineral reserves generally continued to show positive development in 2012, as a result both of exploration successes and of higher expectations of future metal prices. All of Boliden's mining areas, with the exception of Tara, have reserves and resources sufficient for over 10 years' production. Boliden has approximately 50 active exploration projects. Exploration work has been conducted in the Boliden Area, Bergslagen, Norrbotten, Västernorrland, and along the edge of the Caledonian front, over and above the mine site exploration that is carried out in all mining areas. Field exploration work in Ireland is mainly being carried out in Limerick and Tullamore. Results for 2012 The Boliden Area The Boliden Area's mineral reserves and mineral resources both developed positively. The reserves have increased by 0.6 Mtonnes, or 5 per cent, while the resources have increased by 2.5 Mtonnes, or 12 per cent. The mineral reserves totalled 12.7 Mtonnes (12.1 Mtonnes) and the mineral resources, 23.5 Mtonnes (21.1 Mtonnes). Aitik 34.3 Mtonnes of ore were mined during the year at Aitik and the mineral reserves there totalled 702 Mtonnes (710 Mtonnes). Mineral resources increased by 56 per cent to 2,760 Mtonnes (1,764 Mtonnes). 240 Mtonnes of that increase derive from exploration work with the remainder coming from changes in economic conditions. Most of the additions to the resources comprise low-grade material. Garpenberg The mineral reserves increased by 2 Mtonnes to 25.6 Mtonnes (23.6 Mtonnes) and the mineral resources by 3.4 Mtonnes to 44.5 Mtonnes (41.0 Mtonnes). A new level was added at Lappberget, boosting the reserves, while exploration work at Dammsjön and Kvarnberget has resulted in an increase in mineral resources. Tara Tara mined 2.5 Mtonnes ore in 2012 and its mineral reserves fell by 1.7 Mtonnes to 14.0 Mtonnes (15.7 Mtonnes). Mineral resources increased by 0.9 Mtonnes to 11.4 Mtonnes (10.5 Mtonnes) through both exploration work and through the downgrading of tonnage from mineral reserves due to a more conservative approach to planning. Calculations suggest that mining the amounts downgraded from mineral reserve to mineral resource will be difficult, using available resources, due to their location, thickness, grades, or inherent rock mechanical risks. The Tara mine needs new extraction permits and the relevant applications have been submitted. Negotiations with the authorities are in progress and temporary permits enabling operations to continue have been granted. *Mineral resource and mineral reserve calculations, 2012 Mining companies are required to carry out a calculation of their mineral resources and mineral reserves every year. Boliden's calculations and compilations are conducted in accordance with the recommendations issued by the Swedish industry association, SveMin. These recommendations have been drafted in accordance with international regulations. Some of these regulations have been amended, effective as of 2012, and the term, ore reserve, has been replaced by a new term, mineral reserve. Boliden reports mineral reserves and mineral resources separately, which means that reported mineral reserves are not included in the mineral resources. A mineral resource is a concentration of minerals in the bedrock that may become commercially extractable. Mineral reserves are those parts of a mineral resource that can be mined and processed in accordance with the company's demands on profitability. Factors such as waste rock dilution, pillar offset and process yields, etc., are taken into account in these calculations. Boliden's mineral resources and mineral reserves have been compiled under the supervision of Gunnar Agmalm, who is registered as a "Qualified Person" by SveMin. Gunnar Agmalm, Mineral Reserves and Project Evaluation Manager, is a member of AusIMM and has over 20 years' experience in the mining and minerals industry. The calculations for Tara have been carried out under the supervision of John Ashton, Chief Mine Geologist, Tara Mines Ltd. John Ashton is a "Qualified Person" and a member of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining and of the Institute of Geologists of Ireland, and has more than 25 years' experience in the mining and minerals industry. The prices employed when calculating mineral reserves are, in the main, planning prices, which are an anticipated average price for metals or exchange rate for currencies over the coming business cycle. Boliden currently employs the following planning prices: Copper USD 6,300/tonne Zinc USD 2,300/tonne Lead USD 2,300/tonne Gold USD 1,200/troy oz. Silver USD 20/troy oz. Molybdenum USD 15/lb. Tellurium USD 280/kg USD/SEK 7.00 EUR/SEK 8.90 For a complete table of Boliden's mineral reserves and mineral resources 2012, see enclosed pdf. http://mb.cision.com/Main/997/9368377/90732.pdf http://mb.cision.com/Public/997/9368377/b342e682b76ab158.pdf Boliden is a metals company with a commitment to sustainable development. Our roots are Nordic, but our business is global. The company's core competence is within the fields of exploration, mining, smelting and metals recycling. Boliden has a total of approximately 4,800 employees and an annual turnover of approximately SEK 40 billion.

Cricket: COLLY GIVES AUSSIES THE WOBBLES; ..but Hero Paul Still Won't Make Ashes
Byline: Mike WALTERS Cricket Correspondent
FLYING picket Paul Collingwood will have to take a back seat in the Ashes - despite being England's best one-day player this summer.
While Kevin Pietersen's impact has been limited to one awesome innings, and Freddie Flintoff has looked undercooked with the bat, Collingwood has outshone them both in the past month.
Nicknamed 'Wobbles' by some of his county team-mates (as in Collywobbles), the Durham all-rounder has floated between No.4 and No.7 in the middle order to accommodate England's big-hitters.
But Collingwood has become a valuable loose cannon, scoring 187 runs at 62.33 and taking 11 wickets at 16 apiece in the one-day skirmishes against Australia and Bangladesh.
His perverse reward for being England's star turn will be a return to the county treadmill, even though he has scored more runs than Pietersen (139 at 46.33) and Flintoff, who has cheerfully been calling himself "yesterday's news".
But Michael Vaughan's ginger ninja has at least played a major part in dismantling Australia's aura of invincibility, and as he looked forward to an encore at Lord's in the NatWest Challenge tomorrow, Collingwood admitted: "The Aussies aren't as intimidating as they used to be."
Although he produced the greatest all-round performance in one-day international history against Bangladesh last month - 112 not out and 6-31 - Colly has reserved most of his greatest hits for the Aussies this summer.
His gravity-defying leap to dismiss Matthew Hayden at Bristol is still baffling scientists.
His century partnership with Geraint Jones at Lord's last weekend salvaged a thrilling tie, from the ruins of 33-5, in the NatWest Series final.
And when England's front-line bowlers banged it in too short at Headingley on Thursday, it was Colly's 4-34 with his 75mph wobblers which put them on the road to a record nine-wicket drubbing of the Aussies. …

(Japan) Xbox Lounge R.I.P.-- Posted by XanTium on February 13 16:21 EST
From kotaku.com:
Yesterday was the last day for Microsoft's Japan showroom. While the lounge might now have gone out with a bang, it certainly did with class. A few days earlier, MSoft held a Rumble Roses event, but did not chose the game to shutter the space and went with Zoids instead. The last PR event clearly shows the company is moving in the right direction to win over Japanese consumers. Tomy's Zoids 360 title has a broad domestic appeal to young and old alike. The game is based on the longstanding, popular anime and toys by the same name. At last month's WHobby Fair in Osaka, gamers lined up, rarin' to have a crack at the title.

text: Now I can understand why the Parks are still closed. I also see the reason behind reopening Ikspiari and the Resort Line. But what I can't understand is why has Bon Voyage not reopen with the rest of Ikspiari. I would think some would take the opportunity to take a couple of hours out to visit the Resort and pick up some of the official Resort merchandise. In fact many visit Bon Voyage without ever visiting the parks. It doesn't seem to make much sense to me right now.

Sweet Gnocco Fritto (Fried Cinnamon Raisin Bread Bites)
December 20th 2014By Chef Tami Weiser
These tasty tidbits are a wonderful change of pace from the usual donut bites! Traditionally, these fried bread pieces are plain and served with savory fillings, but a few recipes suggest that you serve them with honey. With a few culinary twists and turns, these easily became a delicious treat. They are yummy on their own and not overly sweet, and in the honey syrup— me-oh-my-oh—they are a sweet treat! Perfect for Chanukah or Rosh Hashanah. One quick reminder: make sure to allow 40 minutes for the dough to rise.
