Apricot-Stuffed Pork Shoulder with Soy-Honey Glaze
Pork shoulder is a succulent cut that's best braised or roasted slowly, so it stays tender and juicy. The sweet-and-savory glazed pork here is terrific with or without the garlic-and-dried-apricot stuffing.
Total Time:
Level: Moderate
Serves: 10
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
- 8 clove garlic
- 10 dried apricot halves
- 5.50 boneless pork shoulder roast
- salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- crushed red pepper
- 3 tbsp. mirin (sweet rice wine) or sweet sherry
- 2 tbsp. soy sauce
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp. toasted sesame oil
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. In a small saucepan, cover the garlic cloves with water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over moderately low heat until the garlic is barely tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, cover the dried apricots with hot water and let stand until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain.
- Open the pork roast, snipping off the strings if necessary, and set it on a work surface, fat side down. Season the inside of the roast with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper. Arrange the garlic cloves and dried apricots in the center of the roast. Roll up the roast and tie at 1-inch intervals with kitchen string. Season the outside of the roast with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper, and set it in a roasting pan, fat side up. Roast the pork for 3 hours.
- In a small bowl, combine the mirin with the soy sauce, honey, mustard, and sesame oil. Brush the pork with half of the glaze and roast for 10 minutes. Brush the pork again with the remaining glaze and roast for about 10 minutes longer, until the pork is nicely lacquered and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast registers 165 to 170 degrees F.
- Transfer the pork to a carving board and let rest for 15 minutes. Stir 1/4 cup of water into the pan juices. Pour the juices into a small saucepan and ladle off the fat. Cover the juices and keep hot.
- Discard the string and carve the roast into thick slices. Serve the pork, passing the pan juices at the table.

Leah Passafiume - Self Portraits and Fortune Cookies
While preparing for the portfolio review portion of the application and interview process for acceptance into the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, recent Wall Township High School graduate and National Arts Honor Society Member Leah Passafiume was leaving nothing to chance. While other applicants pick and choose some of their favorite pieces, Leah stacked the deck in her favor and presented every single project that she had completed throughout her high school art career, and then some. That turned out to be the right move. Leahs entire portfolio spans multiple mediums and genres, but one thing is evident in each and every piece: Talent.
Throughout high school, Leah had received numerous awards and accolades for her artistic talents, but during her senior year, one piece garnered her some serious attention. Every year, Brookdale College hosts a Teen Arts Show, featuring the best and brightest at the Jersey Shore, naming just a handful of entries as Best in Show. This past year, the TeenArts Competition chose John Lennons Imagine as the central theme. Leahs lone entry was an interactive sculpture, titled Imagine Tree. Her sculpture started with Leah making a life-size tape casting of herself that she then plastered over. From there, she expanded and morphed her self-casting into the trunk and branches of a tree. The leaves were fashioned from 200 tags, with I imagine hand written on each one. One hundred of these tags were completed by Leah and a pen was left near the sculpture to allow visitors to the Teen Arts Show to finish the other one hundred tags with things that they imagine.
Leah has always had a passion for art and cannot imagine doing anything else with her life. Starting this fall, Leah will be attending her dream school on a scholarship. She is enormously excited to learn all she can at the University of the Arts and to immerse herself completely into the Philadelphia art scene and community. But, its not just a future full of fine art and gallery showings that Leah envisions for herself. In addition to expressing herself and beautifying the world, her art studies will have another purpose and goal. After four years at the University of the Arts, Leah plans to move on to graduate school and earn a doctorate in art therapy.
Perusing Leahs portfolio, two motifs crop up time and again - self portraits and fortune cookies. Makes perfect sense, considering Leah is a very self-aware young lady who knows what she wants out of life and considers herself fortunate to have her talent recognized and be afforded these wonderful opportunities.

Michele Bachmann Dances On Stage, Signs Men's Chests, And Owns The Crowd In Myrtle Beach (11 pics, 2 videos)
Broadway at the Beach was a great place for Michele Bachmann to hold a campaign rally. There's lots of parking, lots of shops, and a gorgeous view.
Still, since it is early in the campaign season and Myrtle Beach has a much smaller populace than most think (roughly 27,000), I didn't expect more than say, 200 people to show up. Well, although estimating crowds is always tricky, I was surprised to see that the crowd was probably closer to 500 people, which is big for a political event in Myrtle Beach.
The crowd, other than a couple of Truthers who happened to be there, also seemed to be very enthused about getting to see Michele Bachmann up close and in person.
It was good news that the crowd was hot for Bachmann, because even though it was sweltering, her plane was late, and the event got started an hour and fifteen minutes late, very few people left.
Happily, Bachmann did eventually show up in her brand spanking new tour bus which she said she was using for the very first time at the Myrtle Beach event.
After getting a raucous welcome from the crowd, Bachmann received some glowing introductions and waved to the crowd.
Apparently, Bachmann was really feeling the love from the crowd because she broke into a dance with her husband right as she got started.
After that, as per usual, she delivered an outstanding speech. Bachmann has a lot of charisma, a lot of experience giving speeches, and she was in front of a receptive audience.
Michele Bachmann's Myrtle Beach Tea Party Speech. 6/29/11 from John Hawkins on Vimeo.
When the speech was over, a couple of hundred people moved up to the stage to shake hands, grab pictures, and get autographs. The only person I saw Bachmann refuse (I couldn't hear the exchange to verify) was somebody who seemed to be asking her to sign a dollar bill, which is technically illegal. Otherwise, she signed placards, baseball caps, people's arms, and most notably, because I haven't seen it done before, a couple of men's chests.
All in all, it was a good day for Bachmann. She gave an outstanding speech to a larger than expected crowd in a primary state, she had a good time doing it, and the crowd ate her up with a spoon.
PS #1: Thanks to Johnnie Bellamy and the rest of the Horry County GOP for helping to make this happen.
PS #2: Fun fact: Michele Bachmann's first congressional campaign was in 2006 and she was one of only 10 competitive, first-time candidates the Rightroots group I led chose to back. 2006 was a horrible year for the GOP and even though we raised roughly $300,000 in a slapdash effort during the final three months of the campaign, almost everyone we backed lost. However, Bachmann did manage to win her race handily and today, she's a rising political star. The money we raised for her certainly didn't turn the tide, but it's nice to know we got to do what we could to help someone like Bachmann make an impact.

Banfield Pet Hospital - Teeth Cleaning and Sanitization
- Jun 27, 2010
- 121 views
- 6 Comments

- Orlando, Florida

- Teeth Cleaning
This complaint is about the Banfiled Animal Hospital in Lake Mary, Florida.
I took my cat to have his teeth cleaned a few months ago. When I picked him up and went to pay the bill it was much more then what they told me it is going to be. Also, I was supposed to get 2 medications which they did not have in stock. I kept checking back with them every 2 days and then a week later... they still did not have the required medications after 2 weeks of the teeth cleaning. The doctor came up with the answer, that I don't even need them. Then why did they prescribe them in the first place? A couple days later a whitish zit looking bump grew on my cat's lip. I took him back to Banfield and after waiting 30 minutes and arguing another 15 minutes they told me that my cat's lip infection has nothing to do with the teeth cleaning they did or with the missing medications. What a huge lie!!! They refunded the cost of the meds, but I still had to pay for this visit which would never happened if they would have done their part correctly! I took my cat to another (recommended by friends) vet where my visit was a dream after all the nightmare with Banfield.
My cat gets this sore on his lip every couple of months since than.
I have doubts about Banfiled's sanitization and pet care practices.
Do not take you pet there!!!review #187446

Teeth that are deep cleaned ensure the overall health of your teeth and identify potential problem areas. Cleaning treats your mouth with the premier equipment and is also known as the "dentist office" treatment. A specialized rinse is administered to protect and allow your teeth to shine. Austin dentist Gregg Ueckert successfully gives you the best smile ever.
Cleaning & Sanitization
Feb 06, 2011 #245145
I rarely write a bad review but sometimes a situation warrants me to warn people about potential problems. I have been to this location twice now, the 1st time was Oct of 2009, my dogs had some intestinal parasites. They prescribed me 69 mg size baytril. I always look up on the internet what meds are, what they do. The vet tech gave me the wrong size. They gave me 23 mg instead. When i called them, they treated me like a criminal, and I had to make ANOTHER 80 minutes round trip to swap out the correct meds.No apology, absolutely nothing. On Nov 7th, 2010 Sunday I called and asked if I can make an appt. they said 3pm was fine but they were very busy, and said I might have to wait til 4pm to be seen. I said that was great. I was thankful someone besides an emergency vet was open on a sunday. I showed up on time. The african gal then says, "we are not taking any new clients".I was stunned. I said, I have been here before with my other dogs and I made an appointment. She said there was no way I would be seen today. Apparently this branch has some serious operational problems. They know how to make an appoinment, they just can not keeep it. I did swear at her and left with my dog bleeding from her neck. I made some calls and Valu-vet in Deltona, saw us very promptly and professionally. They know how to make an appoinment and to see you at the time they promised. As for my sweet dog, she had to be put down. Bless her... All of the above is 100 percent truthful and honest.0 0 Reply

I have been taking my pet to Banfield now for 6 months. Similar situation. I have taken her once for a comprehensive exam plus a round of vaccinations, then had her teeth cleaned shortly after. Since her dental cleaning, she has had a red spot under her chin that occasionally turns into a whitish zit. Furthermore, the areas that were shaved during her dental surgery have still not recovered hair after 3 or 4 months. Lastly, since her dental surgery she has began obsessively cleaning herself. She has quite a few balding spots, some of them are scabbed over and some of them are discolored (yellowish brown).
She has been to follow up visits, diagnosed with allergies, given a steroid injection (which made her lethargic and ruined her appetite and cost $40)), she has been given antihistamines ($21), she has been eating Royal Canin HypoAllergenic HP23 EXCLUSIVELY for 6 months now ($27.99 for 7lb bag), and she is not getting better, she is in fact GETTING WORSE. I have switched her dish from a plastic fountain to a ceramic bowl and switched her litter from clay litter to cedar litter.
I'm also weary that my Banfield will not treat my cat in the room with me. They take her to a back room.
I also must say that I had one other cat treated at Banfield before. He was diagnozed with Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease and died only a few months after he began treatment at Banfield (he was ONLY 4 years old). All in all, I paid a... year of the premium wellness plan, $500 for cremation, and $400+ for hospitalization, catheters, etc. I am afraid the same thing will happen to my kitty now. I am suspicious that Banfield is killing animals so that they do not have to administer any more treatment, but pet parents still have to pay their wellness plan (after their pets death). I'm considering skipping my kitty's next comprehensive exam this month, and I have been researching other cat insurance options. Show more

Usually, the sores on lips that look like zits, are zits; it's caused by unsanitary feeding dishes. Look at the type of bowls you use and either A - Clean them daily or B - Change the type of bowls you feed in. I bet you use plastic? Switch to stainless steel, that will prevent it.0 0 Reply
Jun 30, 2010 #159502
I agree with Mike... you can't blame that on Banfield or the dental cleaning... especially if it happens every few months. Chances are, it's been happening, and you just didn't notice it before that!0 0 Reply

Hate to say it, but no way the teeth cleaning causes a lip sore several weeks later. Unfortunate, but not related.0 0 Reply

1. A T R A C O M G R O U P W H I T E P A P E REmotional Intelligence:What's New, What's True —Improving EQ withBehavioral Style Emotional Intelligence is a concept focused on how effectively people work with others. These Emotional Intelligence skills are unique from a person's technical skills and cognitive abilities. Multiple studies have shown that Emotional Intelligence competencies often account for the difference between star performers and average performers, particularly in positions of leadership. This paper discusses the following aspects of Emotional Intelligence: • What EQ is and why it matters • Can EQ be learned? • The business case for EQ • EQ and leadership • Improving EQ by applying Behavioral StylesOVERVIEW SOCIAL STYLE Connections SOCIAL STYLE is the world's most effective interpersonal skills model. The Connections Whitepaper Series looks at how SOCIAL STYLE complements and supports other popular workplace programs including Situational Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, Crucial Conversations, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and Strengths Based Leadership. SOCIAL STYLE Connections
1 Emotional Intelligence: What's New, What's Truewww.socialstyle.com Improving EQ with Behavioral Styles 1. An insurance company found the average policy sold by one group of agents is $54K, while another group sold policies with an average of $114K.1 2. The U.S. Air Force increased its ability to successfully predict recruiter success by three-fold and reduced recruiting expense by $3 million.1Emotional Intelligence: What's New, What's True — Improving EQ with Behavioral Styles 3. A study of more than 500 executive search candidates identified emotional competence as significantly better predictor of placement success than intelligence or prior experience. Findings were consistent in all countries and cultures.1 Emotional Intelligence was the variable in each of these examples. In recent years, interest in Emotional Intelligence (EQ) has grown as research has shown its impact on a variety of business measures. These include recruiting and job selection, sales results and leadership performance. J&J was among first companies to test the linkage between Emotional Intelligence and business performance. More than 1,400 employees took part in a comparison of high performers and average performers. They found a "strong relationship" between superior performing leaders and emotional competence. Further they found that Emotional Intelligence, like technical skill, can be developed through a systematic and consistent approach to building social and emotional competency. 2 This whitepaper is based on a webinar presentation available for on-demand viewing.

2 What is Emotional Intelligence?www.socialstyle.com The concepts of Emotional Intelligence are not new, with research going back to the early part of the 20th century. The term "Emotional Intelligence" was introduced by Salovey and Mayer in 1990. But it was Daniel Goleman, a Harvard-trained psychologist and writer who really brought EQ into the mainstream. He wrote about EQ in The New York Times and his 1995 book Emotional Intelligence. But it was his 1998 article in Harvard Business Review3 that sparked great interest in the business community. The key premise of Emotional Intelligence is that EQ skills relate to how effectively people work with others, specifically around: Emotional Intelligence: What's New, What's True — Improving EQ with Behavioral Styles • Self-Awareness • Self-Management • Social Awareness • Relationship Management 1) Self-Awareness Self-Awareness means having a clear understanding of one's emotions, strengths, weaknesses, drives and capabilities. On the surface there's really nothing new about this concept – it's been touted for thousands of years. But it's a critical skill and it's overlooked by many people. It's so important because people with a high degree of self-awareness recognize how their feelings and values affect them, and this relates to how they interact with others. They tend to be very thoughtful in the sense that they take time to think about the things that are important to them, and how their work and lives relate to these things. This self reflection helps them to be aware of both their limitations and strengths, and they're candid about this. 2) Self-Management Goleman says that Self-Management frees us from being prisoners to our emotions. Without understanding what we're feeling, we can't control our feelings and this leaves us at the mercy of our emotions. This is okay when it comes to positive emotions like enthusiasm or success, but it's a problem if we're controlled by negative emotions like frustration or anxiety. People with this mastery are usually optimistic, upbeat and enthusiastic. This is particularly important in the workplace because emotions are literally contagious. 3) Social Awareness The third component of Goleman's EQ model, Social Awareness, is mostly about empathy. It's the ability to read another person's facial expressions, voice and non-verbal signals in order to understand that person's emotions. This is especially important for leaders because by staying attuned to how people are feeling, they can say and do what is most appropriate. For example, they can try to calm people's fears, lessen anger, or in a more positive example have a good time at the office party. SOCIAL STYLE Connections

4 Can Emotional Intelligence Be Learned?www.socialstyle.com One question that often comes up is whether people are born with high EQ, or whether it can be learned. We all know people who seem to be naturally gifted in how well they work with others. They intuitively understand how to put people at ease and, if they're leaders, how to motivate their people and keep them actively engaged in their work. The truth is that some people will be more naturally gifted than others, but the good news is that EQ skills can be learned. There's been some clear research on this, and our own research at TRACOM has shown good evidence that people can learn how to interact more effectively at work. But in order for this to happen people have to be personally motivated,Emotional Intelligence: What's New, What's True — Improving EQ with Behavioral Styles and they need to practice what they learn back on the job and get reinforcement for their new skills. Most of us can think of people who seem to have a natural ability to work well with others. So while EQ may be an important talent, is it something that can be developed or is it something a person is born with? Research is available that clearly shows EQ can be learned. Dr. Fabio Sala of The Hay Group found that workshop interventions are effective at improving EQ.4 A study at Case Western University found that EQ training not only improves performance, but such gains are retained over many years.7 So the good news for business is that while there may be a genetic pre-disposition towards Emotional Intelligence, these skills can be developed and they tend to be retained for the long-term. There is certainly a need for practice and reinforcement to build these skills. And finally, EQ skills won't be improved without a sincere desire to do so. SOCIAL STYLE Connections
5 EQ and Leadershipwww.socialstyle.com While EQ is relevant in almost any work situation where people work collaboratively, the use of EQ to improve leadership and managerial performance is of great interest to the HR community. And the current challenging economy has everyone trying to achieve more productivity with fewer resources. It's this desire for high performance that led TRACOM to look more closely at EQ. For 50 years TRACOM has helped organizations achieve higher performance through training and interpersonal skills development. Our experience with companies of all size, shows that effective leaders can improve theEmotional Intelligence: What's New, What's True — Improving EQ with Behavioral Styles performance of their organizations. Certainly different situations necessitate different leadership techniques. And in practice a leader with good EQ skills is able to assess a situation and determine an appropriate response. Without EQ, a person with high IQ, great experience and good ideas will not become a great leader. And the higher a leader advances, the more important Emotional Intelligence Managers with High Versatility becomes. But the potential for EQ Significantly Outperform Those problems also rises with more senior with Low Versatility executives. Research conducted by Fabio Sala showed that higher level The Case for Versatility Training executives consistently rated themselves higher on EQ competencies 30 than did their lower-level colleagues. 27% They have an inflated view of their EQ.5 25% 25 Sala suggested that the rating difference 22% BETTER AT COACHING OTHERS BETTER AT LEADING TEAMS may be related to a lack of objective information about their own skills, saying 19% 20 that senior executives typically have IMPACT COMMITMENT OF OVERALL PERFORMANCE fewer opportunities for feedback because of their position and that DIRECT REPORT 15 people are often less inclined to give constructive feedback to people in positions senior to themselves. 10 5 0 SOCIAL STYLE Connections
6 Putting EQ to Workwww.socialstyle.com One criticism of Emotional Intelligence that we often hear is that it sounds good in theory but it's difficult to put into practice. And some of the proponents of EQ don't seem to do a very good job of examining what it looks like in the day-to-day workplace, or how it can be practiced and enhanced.

SOCIAL STYLE Connections
7 Putting EQ to Work – cont.www.socialstyle.com When it comes to displaying EQ skills like optimism and adaptability, two of the competencies of Self-Management, these two Styles will behave differently. Driving Style individuals usually don't show optimism through exciting speeches or a cheerful presence. Instead, their optimism comes across as confidence that things will turn out alright, and that positive outcomes will happen through taking a course of action. They're going to show their enthusiasm by actively working on problems and showing self confidence that they and the team will succeed. In terms of adaptability, many Driving Style people tend to see change as a challenge that should be met head on. Instead of ruminating on all of the problems that the change is going to cause, a Driving StyleEmotional Intelligence: What's New, What's True — Improving EQ with Behavioral Styles person with a high level of adaptability will focus on how to influence the change and make it a benefit instead of a detriment. These people are so action-oriented that they may actually be faster to respond to change than is comfortable for people of other Styles. Contrast this to the Amiable Style person. When they're feeling hopeful and optimistic about things, they'll be outwardly cheerful towards coworkers and show a lot of energy around work activities. They'll be very talkative and upbeat in what they say, and this can have a big impact on workgroups because, as we pointed out earlier, emotions are contagious. These are the types of people who are very skilled at rallying the troops to a cause through their enthusiasm and optimism. When confronted with a dramatic change, these people's personal adaptability will often show itself in terms of how the change will impact the group. They'll be very focused on trying to ensure that there's benefit for the team, so their adaptability in this regard is often focused on achieving benefits for the people who work for them, or ensuring that the change won't negatively affect the cohesion of the work group. The key point of this example is that just as self awareness is important for developing Emotional Intelligence, it's also critical to understand your own natural Style of behavior and not try to force fit EQ behavior into your own repertoire in an unnatural way. Any of the EQ skills can be applied, but they are most effective when applied in ways that are most natural for your Social Style. Trying to act in ways that aren't comfortable for your Style will usually come across to others as contrived or insincere.

Versatility is a measure of a Image Presentation Competence Feedback person's interpersonal effectiveness.

KABUL The United States has warned Afghan President Hamid Karzai's half-brother he could be targeted if he were ever found to be providing arms or assistance to insurgents, a senior U.S. military official said on Monday.
"I'd like him out of there," the official said on condition of anonymity of Ahmad Wali Karzai, who heads Kandahar's provincial council.
"We'd rather not have a guy like that down there because he's so divisive. But there's nothing that we can do unless we can link him to the insurgency, then we can put him on the (target list) and capture and kill him," the official said.

Mexican woman, 45, lives out Spielberg's The Terminal by making her home Cancun airport after flying in from U.S.
- Woman, 45, has been sleeping on the floor and washing at Cancun airport
- Mexican has been withdrawing money to pay for meals at airport restaurants since June 30th
A woman has begun living out of Cancun airport after flying in from the United States - and police are powerless to stop her.
The woman - who initially 'looks just like a passenger' - has been spotted eating, sleeping and bathing at various points around the Mexican airport since June 30th.
The 45-year-old woman has caught the attention of concerned workers strolling through the terminals, sleeping on the floor, washing in the restrooms and withdrawing money from an ATM to pay for meals at the airport restaurants.
Scroll down for video
Whereas most would want to leave the airport straight away after landing, one woman (not pictured) has set up home there
A police spokesman 'routine inspection' found that the woman is carrying a Mexican passport in the name of Marcela Silvia Montano Mancera, who was born in the Federal District on May 2, 1968, Yahoo reported.
The Mexican citizen, is being watched by officers but as she has not committed a crime, cannot be arrested, Federal Police told Yahoo.
Airport authorities cannot understand why she hasn't left the airport and returned home.
The Global Post says that the woman has been heard talking to herself in both Spanish and English.
Authorities have reportedly tried to contact her family but have failed to reach any relatives, the NY Daily News said.
Mehran Karimi Nasseri (right) who calls himself Alfred Mehran, a stateless person stuck in transit for 16 years, inspired Steven Spielberg's movie 'The Terminal' starring Tom Hanks (left)
Her actions are similar to The Terminal film, where Tom Hanks played an immigrant who is denied entry into America and at the same time cannot return to his native country because of a revolution, and is forced to live in an airport.
That film was partially based on the life of Mehran Karimi Nasseri, an Iranian refugee who lived in the departure lounge of Terminal One in Charles de Gaulle Airport, in Paris, from 26 August 1988 until July 2006.
He claimed he was expelled from Iran in 1977 for protests against the Shah and after a long battle, involving applications in several countries, was finally given refugee status, so he could choose any European country.
He embarked on a trip to England, claimed he was mugged and had his documents stolen, was allowed to fly from Paris but promptly returned.
Because of a lack of proof about his situation, he was arrested for attempting to enter the country illegally and lost papers meant the French had no country of origin which they could return him to.
The police returned him to the confines of the airport, and he lived there until he was hospitalised for a condition.
He is now believed to be living in Paris.

The Cardinals had a nightmare Labor Day
Sep 2, 2013, 4:12 PM EDT
I bet St. Louis fans are glad that's over.
In addition to losing Yadier Molina mid-game due to a sore left wrist, the Cardinals were walloped by the Reds today, 7-2. Ace Adam Wainwright was shelled for six earned runs in six innings. That's the second straight awful start for Wainwright since he tossed 128 pitches on August 23rd. He allowed nine runs in his last outing, also against the Reds. If the Pirates win the Central and the Reds and Cardinals face off in the wild card game, you have to wonder if Wainwright gets the call.
For Cincinnati, Mat Latos had a much better day. He tossed his first complete game of the season, allowing only two runs on four hits. He only needed 100 pitches to go all nine.
With this loss the Cardinals fall a half game back of the Pirates, who as of this writing are still playing against Milwaukee.
- fearlessleader - Sep 2, 2013 at 4:35 PM

That's been their M.O. for the last several years, jump out to a hot start, play mediocre or worse during the summer months and then crank it back up down the stretch and postseason.
- thomas844 - Sep 2, 2013 at 6:30 PM
There's been talk all year about the Pirates-Cardinals division race, but man, don't sleep on the Reds. They got just as good a shot to win it, even despite missing their ace, cleanup hitter, and both 8th inning setup men for most of the year.
- okwhitefalcon - Sep 2, 2013 at 6:44 PM
I think the lack of talk is mostly a by product of them not spending much time at the top of the division and "chasing" most of the year so to speak.
The Reds play well at home and their schedule set ups in their favor, they're in good position to make a run at the division title for sure.
- dutchman45 - Sep 2, 2013 at 9:34 PM
Reds will win out and win the World Series.
- stlouis1baseball - Sep 3, 2013 at 10:30 AM
The Redlegs are a force to be sure. But you just stated they would "win out."
This would mean they aren't going to lose a game the rest of the year.
Certainly you don't mean that.

I am having lunch with some ladies from Facebook group the Quilting Bee. It's at Puleo's Grille on Cedar Bluff in Knoxville at 1pm. Anyone who is in the area are welcome to join us.
Sorry I didn't make it for that. Sounds like it would be fun. I have been to upstate NY last week. I have also been going thru physical therapy for my back and ankles. Diagnosed with chronic Achilles tendonitis in my ankles and weak muscles in my lower back. I've also been going to NC as much as I can to help my niece with my sister (dementia). When you plan another lunch, let me know. I hope to make it.
I would love to see you again. I'm struggling to get out of the house. Agoraphobia and panic attacks at 60 is embarrassing.
It sounds like you are very busy. I am not. Besides doctor appointments, I don't get out much. I miss you and hope to see you again soon. I'm not sure if I have your correct phone number. My last phone went on the blink and I lost my numbers. Please let me know when you are available for lunch or dinner. Phil is off on Mondays and Tuesdays. My email address is firstname.lastname@example.com. Phone or email is the best way to get me. The number I have in my phone for you is not correct because when I try to get you, I get a "number discontinued" message. I might have misremembered it.

These facilities include a magnetics lab, a physical properties lab, a thin film fabrication lab, a microscopy lab, an ultrafast spectroscopy lab, a laser cooling lab, a computational physics lab, and an astronomy and astrophysics research lab.
We also encourage students to participate in our active academic clubs. One of our most popular organizations, the Physics Club, has won Outstanding Chapter for its zone each of the last six years.
