Ghosts of left fielders past
Merry Christmas, Yankee fans. All I wanted for Christmas this year was a deep playoff run, and I got it in spades! Next year? A repeat would be nice.
Bizarre Moves from Seasons Past: The non-signing of Vladimir Guerrero
Welcome to the latest installment of Yankeeist's "Bizarre Moves from Seasons Past" series. We previously covered the trading of Mike Lowell, the non-signing of...
Merry Christmas, Yankee fans!
Gaudin As 5th Starter? Ridiculous.
From Ken Rosenthal:
A rival executive says that neither Phil Hughes nor Joba Chamberlain should be in the Yankees' rotation next season.
Instead, the exec suggests that the Yankees keep both youngsters in their bullpen and make Chad Gaudin their fifth starter.
Not a crazy thought. But if the Yankees enact such a plan, they are far...
Commish For A Day II: #6
Commish For A Day II: #5 Salary Cap & Floor
This competition between the large and small markets is the lifeblood of the NFL and 2009 may serve as no finer example of small market success. The top four records in the NFL are held by Indianapolis, New Orleans, San Diego, and Minnesota. What do these locales have in common? Only two have the where-with-all to support MLB in their cities and even those two have been rumored to be on the move. Minnesota was part of contraction talks not too long ago and without the 1998 World Series appearance for the Padres, Petco Park never would have been built and perhaps contraction or relocation would have been in their future. Indianapolis, San Diego, and New Orleans are cities that only support and house two professional franchises and all of the above cities but Indianapolis** have lost a franchise (Northstars, Clippers, Jazz).
At some point one of these NFL franchises has relocated or has been rumored to be on the move but there is one constant: revenue sharing (and capable stewardship) allows the teams to compete each year.…
Commish For A Day II: #4 Umpire Statistics
The best umpires statistically during the season will get to umpire in the playoffs. MLB will not pick the umpires based on who is perceived to be the best but who are actually the best. And like this year it will not be required to have a new umpire in the World Series that has never been in one before; it will simply be the best umpires statistically.
Now that is how to reward the best umpires but there will be umpires who are significantly worse than the rest in the league. The worst umpires should either be let go or sent down to the minors. The hard part is where the cutoff would be for the worst umpires. I believe the first season should be more of probationary season where the data can be collected and figure out what the average of correctly made calls are. This can then be used to determine which umpires are the worse. After every season any umpire who is so many percentage points away from the average should be reprimanded by the league.…
Commish For A Day II: #3 Expand the DH to the NL
Make no mistake about it the DH issue is more about money than anything. Rather than paying for an extra starting bat owners prefer their pinch hitting specialist. A good PH will command a couple of million dollars a year. Hideki Matsui, arguably the best DH in baseball, just signed a $6 million dollars from Anaheim. If it were a better economy I could see him commanding double that amount. As always you need to follow the money trail. The ironic thing is saving a few million in DH salaries will put millions of pitcher dollars at risk a far more expensive proposition. Do I need to remind Mets fans about David Cone missing a large chunk of the 87? season after breaking his finger bunting? What about the Yankees missing the playoffs in 2008 largely due to Chien Ming Wang hurting himself running the bases? I could swallow injuries due to the wear of tear of hurling a baseball 100 plus times a start, but running the bases?…

DBS Arts Centre
Great for dinner and a show
What we say:
This 380-seat theatre in Robertson Quay is the home of the Singapore Repertory Theatre and their children's branch The Little Company. The SRT is one of Asia's leading English-language theatre companies and their productions are known for attracting celebrity cast members. When not in use by the SRT, the theatre is rented to visiting performers and hosts the occasional comedy night.
The theatre is a little difficult to find as it isn't well signposted from the river, but the surrounding Lavender Quay area is filled with international restaurants and bars, making it the perfect choice for dinner and a show.

Free E-Waste Recycling TODAY! 1-6pm at Paul and Babe!
Have old electronics that don't work anymore? Save yourself a trip to the transfer station and bring them to Paul and Babe (Paul Bunyan Park) TODAY (Thursday, May 2nd), anytime from 1-6pm!
5R Processors, Ltd, based in Ladysmith, WI, will be collecting this electronic waste and taking it back to their facility in Wisconsin to process. BSU students will be volunteering to help you unload your electronics and heavier items.
Click here for a list of acceptable items.
This event is open to EVERYONE, community members or local businesses! We'd really like to fill up the truck this year, so please tell your friends about today's event.
Earlier this week, Sustainable Tuesdays wrapped up our April line-up with a session on Backyard Composting!
We were joined by local resident Scott Merschman, who uses both hot and cold compost systems at his home and has had great success with them. Scott's hot compost system can have compost ready in just three weeks, but requires regular turning. His cold compost system takes around a year to create compost, but allows you to add food scraps and other compostables as you have them, while the hot compost system requires that you add them all at once.
Click here for a really handy article by Fine Gardening that explains the differences between hot and cold composting.
Scott also showed us a simple and low-cost way of creating a backyard compost bin with wooden pallets. These are handy because the slats in the wood allow for great aeration. If you're thinking of making a bin yourself, here are some ideas for materials and size:
Materials. Bins can be built from scrap lumber, old pallets, snow fence, chicken wire, or concrete blocks. Typically, several types of composting bins are sold at hardware or lawn and garden stores.
Size. A pile or bin that is 1 cubic yard (3 feet high, 3 feet wide, 3 feet long) is small enough to be easily turned, but big enough to retain heat through most of the year. In the coldest part of the winter, the composting process may stop, but will start up again as soon as it warms up. Home compost piles shouldn't be larger than 5′ x 5′ x 5′.
What can you compost in your bin? The better question is: what CAN'T you compost?
The list of compostable materials is a mile long, and you'll find that you can divert the majority of your household's waste with a compost pile. The Leech Lake Green Team has put together a fantastic list of compostable materials you're likely to find in your home; check it out here!
Remember your "greens" and "browns"! Maintaining the right balance of green materials (nitrogen-rich, wet materials) and brown materials (carbon-rich, dry materials) will help you avoid any smell issues and make your compost pile break down even faster. Here's a short list of examples:
Greens: food scraps, grass clippings, garden trimmings, fresh manure (only from herbivores like horses, cows, chickens, etc — no dog or cat manure!)
Browns: dry leaves, straw, sawdust, wood chips, shredded paper, cardboard, dryer lint

"I pulled up, and right away he started begging. He was begging and shivering," said Wilfred Sisco, who received a call from relatives about a man waving desperately on a road.
Sisco's relatives spotted Gilmore on Oct. 17 on their way to visit Sisco, and again on Oct. 18 when they were leaving. They had just assumed he was resting at the roadside, Sisco said.
"I knew something was wrong," said Sisco, a retired 73-year-old sheep farmer from Tocito, NM, the only person who stopped to help Gilmore.
"I dropped everything I had to help him. It's just what I would do," said Sisco, who does not consider himself a hero.
Gilmore, who lost the use of his legs 19 years ago in a crash, was filthy, dusty and bloody, and had dragged himself several miles on Tocito Road over three days and two nights.
He had no wheelchair, no water, no food, and no extra clothing to keep warm. The clothes he did have were worn through after his daily attempts to get closer to the nearest paved road, U.S. Highway 491.
"I realized he was paraplegic, and I thought, "What in the world was he doing out there?'" Sisco said. "I put a real thick sweater over him, and he drank three bottles of water right there."
Gilmore said three vehicles passed him during his ordeal none slowed down.
Sisco said he immediately called an ambulance, which initially had trouble finding the road, about 30 miles south of Shiprock and 10 miles north of Gilmore's home in Newcomb.
"It didn't take long," Sisco said. "But he was sitting cross-legged, and they couldn't straighten him out. They tried putting him on the stretcher, and he started crying."
Doctors told Gilmore that he had a body temperature of 94, acute kidney failure, and a blood infection not to mention scrapes all across his buttocks and legs.
Gilmore may not have lasted another night, considering his health and the nighttime temperatures around 40, hospital officials said Tuesday.
Sisco estimated that Gilmore had dragged himself more than two and a half miles, based on the zig zagging trail that Gilmore left in the dust during his struggle.
Gilmore, who was hitch hiking Oct. 16, said he was picked up by a woman and man who then picked up another man. The man who was with the woman initially was dropped off. Gilmore, the woman and the second man drove down U.S. Highway 491.
Sisco said Gilmore told him that the second man thought Gilmore was flirting with the woman.
The man, woman and Gilmore had been drinking when the man became hostile and jealous and yanked Gilmore out of the truck by the ankles and left him there without his wheelchair, Gilmore said.
Sisco, the first to hear the story, was astonished.
"I started taking notes because I wanted to pinpoint the perpetrator," he said.
Gilmore filed a police report the same day he was found, though the report of battery still is pending, according to the Shiprock Police Department.
Responding officer Melvin Joe, who is on a week's leave this week, has up to 30 working days to complete the report. No arrests yet have been made.
FBI spokesman Frank Fisher said on Wednesday that the agency is waiting to hear whether it will investigate the incident. He said the FBI will monitor the local investigation to see if a federal crime was committed.
While the investigation by the police will take time, the reaction to Gilmore's story was immediate. Newspapers and news organizations across the state, nation and world picked up his story.
From London, England to Chattanooga, Tenn., and to Seattle, people were amazed by Gilmore's tale of survival,
"He's got such a great attitude. He must have had a lot of fortitude too," said retiree Maureen Barger Stevenson, 75, who called The Daily Times from Palmer, Alaska. "That man is my kind of people."
Newspapers from around the state interviewed Gilmore on Wednesday, and he had various family members visit him the first visitors since Sisco visited Gilmore in the hospital Friday.
Gilmore said it has been painful to recollect the experience.
He has not had nightmares for 21 years since his mother gave him a pi-on bead necklace that he wore under his hospital gown. He said this week, he had a nightmare.
He did not have a nightmare when he became paralyzed on his 30th birthday, but he did on Monday.
"I had a nightmare last night that I was sitting on the dirt road and vehicles were just going back and forth," Gilmore said from his hospital bed Tuesday.

By Tony Grossi
The Morning Kickoff …
Let's get ready to be let down: Free agency is always a time for hope for Browns fans. Inevitably it always leads to a cruel letdown.
If you look at the numbers, there is a one in a hundred chance that the Browns will sign a player this season that will earn a Pro Bowl berth wearing their uniform.
OK, that's a slight exaggeration. By two percentage points.
Since free agency came into the NFL in 1993, the Browns have signed 98 free agents. Exactly one has made it to the Pro Bowl with the Browns. That was linebacker Jamir Miller. The under-radar signing in the Browns' inaugural expansion season of 1999 earned a Pro Bowl spot under coach Butch Davis in 2001.
Otherwise, free agency has been a big yawn for the Browns. For every Miller, there have been dozens of non-descript role players such as Shantee Orr and Shaun Smith, washed-up "names" such as Rickey Dudley and Ted Washington, and a plethora of offensive linemen – 22 in all, the most populous position by far of Browns free-agent shopping.
So when listening to the hyperventilating about Browns salary cap room and rumors linking them to this free agent or that, don't get hooked. There's usually a worn-out rubber tire at the end of their free agent fishing line.
The three worst Browns free agent signings
1. Andre Rison, WR, 1995
Unquestionably the worst free agent signing in NFL history, this one came on the Bill Belichick-Mike Lombardi watch. It was driven by owner Art Modell, who was talking and acting irrationally as personal bankruptcy closed in on the desperate man. Still ranting about two dropped passes by Derrick Alexander at the onset of the playoff loss in Pittsburgh in January, Modell ordered his football men to acquire a top-flight receiver. They talked him out of trading a No. 1 pick for Dallas' Alvin Harper, but they couldn't stop him from falling for Rison. At league meetings in March, Modell held court with national reporters and proclaimed Rison the best Browns receiver since Paul Warfield. Trouble was, Modell didn't have him under contract yet. Literally overnight, Rison's signing bonus demand rose from $1 million to $5 million. Modell had no choice but to pay it or risk national ridicule, which he abhorred. To pay the cash bonus, Modell had to take out a loan under his wife's name because his team and personal credit limit was tapped out. Rison became the metaphor for the historically ugly 1995 season – the last of the old Browns in Cleveland. He finished with 47 catches for 701 yards and three TDs. He berated reporters with profanity, flipped the booing home crowd the bird and defied coaches by honing his touchdown dance routinely at practices. Rison may be the worst person to ever wear a Browns uniform.
2. Donte Stallworth, 2008
Seen as the complement to Braylon Edwards and able to move aging Joe Jurevicius to slot receiver, he signed a $35 million deal for seven years. At his first Browns training camp, he gashed Edwards' barefoot heel with his football cleat while the two frolicked between drills. In warmups prior to his first regular-season game, he complained of a hamstring injury and took himself out of the lineup. Despite having only 17 receptions his first year, the Browns agreed to pay a $4.5 million roster bonus in March, 2009. The very next day, Stallworth killed a pedestrian while driving drunk on a Miami Beach causeway. Stallworth averted a possible 15-year jail sentence and spent 24 days in jail. He reached a financial settlement with the victim's family. He never played again for the Browns, but did play for the Ravens, Redskins and Patriots.
3. Jeff Garcia, QB, 2004
At the age of 34, Garcia left San Francisco and found gold in Cleveland in the form of a $25 million, four-year contract. After the Browns' salary cap-specialist questioned the wisdom of the deal, then-coach Butch Davis had him fired. Garcia won three of 10 starts, but otherwise had three claims to fame: 1. In his first game, he spearheaded a win over Baltimore in the season opener, which, to this day is the Browns' only win in a season opener since 1999; 2. In his second game, he produced a 0.0 passer rating in Dallas; 3. In his sixth game, he completed a 99-yard pass to Andre Davis, which forever will be the longest pass play in Browns history.
The three best Browns free agent signings
1. Eric Steinbach, 2007
His seven-year contract for $49.5 million, including $17 million in guarantees, made him the highest-paid guard in NFL history. Paired next to rookie left tackle Joe Thomas, Steinbach immediately paid dividends, helping to produce the most prolific Browns offense (coordinated by now-coach Rob Chudzinski) in 30 years. Steinbach answered the bell for 62 of 64 games over four years – narrowly missing Pro Bowl selections on two occasions – before a back injury wiped out his 2011 season, eventually causing his release and retirement after a tryout with the Dolphins. The Browns haven't executed a screen pass correctly since he left.
2. Orpheus Roye, 2000
The original Browns double-dip, he left the Pittsburgh Steelers for a six-year contract in Cleveland. Not only did Roye play through that contract, he earned another three-year deal in 2006 – making him the rare free agent in Browns history to receive two multi-year deals from the club. Roye started 106 games in eight years for the Browns, playing five seasons as a 4-3 tackle and three as 3-4 end. After his contract was terminated in 2008, Roye re-signed with the Steelers, for whom he earned a Super Bowl ring, proving that nice guys don't always finish last.
3. Ryan Tucker, 2002
Like Roye, Tucker earned another multi-year deal after an original four-year contract. He was a mainstay at right tackle for five seasons and started eight games at right guard on that prolific 2007 offensive team. His career ended when personal issues and injuries submarined him, and contributed to two league suspensions for using banned substances. He still lives in the area.
(tie) Jamir Miller, 1999
Tainted by a two strikes in the NFL substance abuse program, he signed a low one-year deal with the Browns. Midway through his first season, he was awarded a four-year extension for $18 million. When Butch Davis took over as coach in 2001, Miller was unleashed as a sack specialist and he turned in 13 sacks – fourth-most in Browns history. He was voted to the Pro Bowl. The following summer, he suffered a torn Achilles tendon in the first exhibition game. He never played again, befitting the Browns' overall luck in free agency.

Risk factors and characteristics of falls
during inpatient rehabilitation
of elderly patients

Received 23 May 2005; received in revised form 28 January 2006; accepted 30 January 2006
Available online 29 March 2006
The present study investigated the incidence, characteristics, and risk factors predictive of falls in
different patient populations hospitalized in a geriatric rehabilitation hospital. Overall 84 fallers and
84 control patients were enrolled in this study. The patients were analyzed into three subgroups:
patients hospitalized for stroke rehabilitation, hip surgery rehabilitation, and other rehabilitation
patients. All patients were evaluated for their predisposing and situational risk factors for the fall.
Each group of fallers was analyzed in relation to the control group. Every group was also analyzed in
relation to the other groups. Risk-taking activity and using wheelchairs were common risk factor

hypertensive drugs intake were significant predictors of falling among all fallers in the hospital.
Among Stroke patients' vertigo was a significant predictor of falling. Anti-depressant drug intake was
the only weakly significant predictor of falling among deconditioned patients. Patient's falls in a
geriatric rehabilitation setting tend to demonstrate patterns that may be used to focus prevention

patients, and that the selection of type of patients may affect which combination of risk factors is

Day 9 Ratcliffe Trial- Flooding and harnessesTagged as: climate_action environmentalism ratcliffe_on_trial
This afternoon saw the final expert witness take the stand. Dr Geoff Meaden is a Geographer from Kent, who currently consults for the UN. His evidence was wide-ranging, but began with an explanation of the difference between local weather events and the global climate.
As an example that must have been present in the minds of the jury, he explained that the recent heavy snowfall is to do with evaporated sea water meeting with icy arctic winds and immediately turning to snow. Asked whether this in any way contradicted the fact that the planet is warming up he said no, absolutely not.
His main body of evidence focused on flooding and its relation to climate change, particularly in the UK. He described in detail the increasing occurrence of unusually heavy rain in the UK and the rising risk of flooding in the East Midlands. As a recent example, he spoke of the flooding in Pakistan, where water levels in one place rose 7 metres within 5 minutes!
Flooding is not just about where the rain falls, but where it goes after it makes landfall. For example rain in the Pennines falls on hard rock which is unable to absorb it into the ground, so it instead flows into river systems which subsequently burst their banks affected towns and villages downstream.
Events took a bizarre twist today as the prosecutor, Felicity Gerry, gave a lengthy explanation of an experiment involving a pole that was buried underground in The Fens. It has slowly been revealed over time, as the soft soil has become compressed and eroded. Dr Meaden clarified that this had been an experiment to measure the effects of farming practices and nothing to do with global warming, but Felicity Gerry seemed to suggest that this would have been a more useful way for the defendants to have taken action on climate change!
Proceedings then returned to one of the defendants who spoke about one aspect of the plan: shutting down the conveyors and preventing them from taking coal into the boilers. In a detailed description of the safety precautions taken, a rope access harness was shown to the court. It was so laden with equipment that the officer who had the job of holding it up was clearly struggling while the defendant explained all of the clips, ropes and straps to the jury!
The defence case will continue with more witnesses tomorrow, and it is expected that the jury will retire to consider their verdict towards the end of the week.

Detained militant dies after hunger strikeComment on this story
Tunis, Tunisia -
The lawyer for a militant detained for attacking the US embassy in Tunisia says his client has died from a heart attack after a two-month hunger strike protesting his innocence.
Abdel-Basset Ben Mberek, the lawyer, said his client died on Thursday after being transferred to a Tunis hospital when his condition declined.
Bachir al-Gholi, 23 and father of a six-month-old daughter, survived two heart attacks and succumbed to the third, his lawyer added.
Following region-wide anger over a US-made film insulting the Prophet Muhammad, about 2 000 militants attacked the US embassy in Tunis in September and looted a nearby school.
According to the Justice Ministry, about 123 people have been arrested in the ongoing investigation.
Al-Gholi's lawyer said his client maintained his innocence. - Sapa-AP

Environmental Scan on Social Media Use by the Public Sector
Despite their short history, the Internet and Web have fundamentally changed politics and public policy, with all of government's traditional partners and stakeholders now using digital technologies to supplement their participation in the policy process (Margetts 2009). In Canada, where Internet penetration is extremely high, citizen's expectations concerning e‐government services have increased markedly with demands for greater transparency, horizontal coordination, responsiveness and public engagement (Borins et al. 2007; McNutt 2007; Roy 2006). Despite some experimentation by the public sector, the use of Web technologies to enhance collaborative interaction between government, stakeholders and citizens remains limited. The emergence of Web 2.0, and in particular online social media tools, has had an uneven impact across governments, ministries and agencies.
Web 2.0 was coined by Tim O'Reilly in 2004 to describe the cumulative changes of Web uses and applications. Web 1.0 as it existed throughout the 1990s and into the early 2000s was a prototype characterized by passive users consuming static content functioning as a publishing medium with limited interactive capacity. Web 2.0 is fundamentally different as users produce and share dynamic content in real time with the platform functioning as a communication medium with extensive interactive capacity (DiNucci 1999; Manovich 2009). Online trends emblematic of the transition include Google usurping Netscape, blogs replacing personal web sites, content management systems transforming into Wikis and the shift from digital highways to virtual communities. As Tim O'Reilly (2007) describes it "Web 2.0 doesn't have a hard boundary, but rather, a gravitational core. You can visualize Web 2.0 as a set of principles and practices that tie together a veritable solar system of sites that demonstrate some or all of those principles, at a varying distance from that core" (17). What all Web 2.0 technologies hold in common is the functional ability of a community to co‐create content in real time.
The most visible and widely used area of the Web 2.0 universe is social media, the host of sites that invite participants to become part owners by sharing their personal information with the site and with their fellow users, and encourages interaction in a specialized social network of like minded people. While social media sites number in the thousands and exist in almost every language, the most well‐known social networks are Facebook, with over 1 billion users, and Twitter, which now has over 500 million users. Politicians have already noticed the potential of such new technologies and many have adopted their usage in political campaigns and the day‐to‐day management of relations with constituents (Jackson and Lilleker 2011; Golbeck, Grimes and Rogers 2010; Grant, Moon and Grant 2010).
The aim of the environmental scan is to compare how different jurisdictions use social media. This is achieved by scanning selected jurisdictions' applications of social media including Canada, the United States, Australia, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Ontario. The research explores implications of social media arising from convergent administrative and social trends by examining how different digital strategies produce different outcomes. It seeks to highlight both potential opportunities and challenges by surveying different public sector experiences. To this end the project draws evidence from government reports, academic journals, case studies, other grey literature, mainstream news media coverage, and direct observation. In addition, the scan identifies various social media experiments to gather lessons learned. From this comprehensive literature search the scan focuses on three key dimensions of public sector use of social media including administration, public engagement, and citizen‐centered service.

Ah, the cinema. The collaboration of hundreds of talents, ranging from filmography to acting, from costume to set design, from production to directing. Cast and crew spend months of long hours fulfilling their visions, hoping to tell the stories from their hearts. And now it has become a lifeless, effortless date night option. The shame!
Although dinner and a movie isn't considered the most impressive of date night choices, it has a lot of creative possibilities. If you want to make movie night magical, you have to create the magic yourself!

Posted: 01/03 @ 09:01 amPink floyd "is there anybody out there the wall live 1980-81″ trailer
Is There Anybody Out There? contains live versions of all the original songs along with two additional songs: "What Shall We Do Now?" and "The Last Few Bricks". "What Shall We Do Now?" was planned for the original album but removed just before release. (It remained on the lyric sheet for the original LP, but excised from future CD re-releases.) "The Last Few Bricks" was an instrumental bridge between "Another Brick in the Wall (Part III)" and "Goodbye Cruel World", and contained themes from "The Happiest Days of Our Lives"; "Don't Leave Me Now"; "Young Lust" (transposed down, from E to D); and "Empty Spaces"/"What Shall We Do Now?" It was played to allow the bricklayers to almost completely seal off the stage before Roger Waters appeared in the last one-brick-wide space in the wall to sing "Goodbye Cruel World", ending the first part of the show. This music never had an official title before the release of the live album. Fans named the track "Almost Gone" on some bootleg albums of the shows, but the official name was suggested by producer James Guthrie during the mixing of the live album. There are also two spoken tracks titled "MC:Atmos" ("Master of Ceremonies" for the first North American release). One came before "In the Flesh?" and one before the reprise "In the Flesh". These were performed by Gary Yudman, MC for the Earls Court and Nassau Coliseum shows. The tracks differed slightly from the studio album, primarily in terms of longer intros and extended solos.

Austin Lee Young, a Colorado native, has been described by some as being a "phenom" guitar player. At 17 years old he exudes unbelievable passion and displays electrifying musicianship in his performances. His inspirations run the gauntlet of the Blues from historic giants such as Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters to contemporary masters like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Although you would expect a young artist to rely heavily on an array of music covers, Austin has self produced two albums to date and performs much of his original material at live shows. His repertoire of original material is varied but he always keeps the blues basics entrenched within every song. His stage presence and the relationship that he builds with audiences can only be described as "crowd pleasing".
"Austin Young and No Difference" are local favorites and also spend time participating at statewide and national music events. Austin is dedicated to providing the listening audience with a modern high energy, high quality sound along with preserving the traditional roots of blues music. He is excited to be a part of "keeping the blues alive"!

Vintage Trouble formed in 2010 out of the ashes of a few other bands, and not by chance, Ty Taylor (vocal) and Nalle Colt (guitar) teamed up with drummer Richard Danielson and bassist Rick Barrio Dill. They entered The Bomb Shelter Studio, recorded an album's worth of material in three days, which was intended to be demos and ended up being pressed into CDs. The Bomb Shelter Sessions became Vintage Trouble's first album. Selling it at their gigs was easy and not surprisingly so were the calls to feature their music in several commercial media. With a unified decision to stay in Los Angeles to build their musical foundation as a band, weekly residences in the area lead to a large assembly of fans in a short amount of time. These fans became known as the "TroubleMakers." It was that underground buzz that lead to legendary manager Doc McGhee taking notice and signing Vintage Trouble to his roster after hearing only a single chorus.

Evoking emotions that you thought had long passed – the feeling of your first cigarette, or the way you feel listening to a worn vinyl as it warmly crackles against the sound of a summer night – The Congress is naturally compared to many names and styles of years gone by. But drawing such comparisons is, in many respects, a misguided endeavor. Misguided not because you'd be wrong, but because you'd be missing the beautiful point – The Congress are a natural evolution of more than 60 years of purely American music. With a spirit rooted just south of the Mason-Dixon Line, and now calling Denver – "The Queen City of the West" – their home, they've got enough soul, grit, and have spent enough time in the woodshed and on the road to call them pretty much whatever you want. But whatever words you think you need to describe their contribution to the American music tradition – save your breath. The Congress plays Rock & Roll.

Recorded in Nashville and Produced by Joe Pisapia [K. D. Lang / Ben Folds 5], Denver based Oakhurst takes a noticeable turn from the bluegrass tendencies that characterized the quintet's previous efforts to a more genre-bending Americana reverberation.
Released on the band's own imprint Oak Horse, Barrel was a 2 year labor of love that endured key member changes and embraced an organic process that ultimately cultivated a more atmospheric and mature sound. Oakhurst co-founders Adam Hill and Johnny James Qualley credit the guitar work and collaborative songwriting of Producer Pisapia for the evolution. The resulting arrangements, performances and harmonies are seamless, polished and lush respectively, propelling Oakhurst towards a broader audience.

Nice hospitality! Really taking care about their guests. Great breakfast. If you want to visit the city, you defenitely need a car. Busstop is about 15min walk away and trainstation about 40min walk which is ok by daylight but at night not recommendable. If the weather is bad it s pretty far from everything. Because of the small stairs inside the house only for people which are save step walkers. However a beautiful landscape with nice people around you.

Great location to relax and enjoy the beautiful countryside. We took the local 120 bus and travelled along the countryside. We stopped and walked around and marveled the beautiful landscape. We also took the Metro into central of the city. Our host Mikie is just a super kind lady. She took care of us like a big sister. She prepared our breakfast and set a table like a 5 star hotel. She gave us all the information about Amsterdam . Mikie was so kind enough to give us the chip card for travel.

We loved this B&B! My sister and I were backpacking for six weeks and it was such a relief to stay with such wonderful people! Sam and Meike are absolutely lovely.

Here's the first single from Mane Rok featuring Scarub named "Here I Am", which caught my attention right away. Mainly because of the infectious scratches and samples. The track is featured onto his latest EP, Saul Amore: A Modern Day Massacre, which is available for a FREE download. The project is a take on different forms of love…but definitely not "Love" songs.

Good job guys
Festergut, Rotface and Valithria went smooth today. We had some trouble at Proffessor, but thats just tactic reading :) Great job guys.

November 29, 2015
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Police are working what they say is one of the more unusual theft cases in a while. They say a woman requested a Lexington Public Lbrary card and had it mailed to a friend.
"In the time it took for the card to get there, she and this person had a falling out," said Lt. Chris Van Brackel of the Lexington Police.
So, police say, when that library card showed up, the former friend ran up quite a bill of library fines.
"She's now saying the person that lives there has taken that card and taken books out at the library and has racked up $1,000 in late fees," said Van Brackel.
According to the library website, cardholders can check out 35 items at a time. Late fees range from a nickel a day to a dollar a day or the full price of the item if it's lost. Police say the person who checked out those books could faces charges of theft by deception as well as identity theft. Library workers say the cardholder is responsible for any late fines.
"This is a very unique crime. If there's anything that's issued in your name that allows someone to buy something, rent something, get something in your name, you've got to take care of it, especially in today's day and time," said Van Brackel.

Per Cut, Monthly, Yearly...What's your take on it?

That is a option we have not discussed here. Making more money with customers you already have. I am not a Jim Lewis by any means , but if you are one of my customers you would not know that I do not offer all those services. You see I figured out awhile back that networking, is a very valuable tool, which makes you not only more of a asset to the customer, but it also has the potential to make you much more money if you find the correct network.
A example that brings me revenue every two months. L and O - I do not possess the license for lawns in Florida. But that does not mean I do not have the ability to fill the customers need. I have a L and O company does great work. I worked myself a deal to get their program at a slightly lower than normal rate per K. There work is above standard for the market but their normal price is not near what the market will bare. So I get a discount of say $12 per K I turn around and charge the customer $17 per K, which the customer is happy to pay for the quality and the simplicity of paying through one source and dealing with one company. Say the customers property is 5K - that is a additional $25 every two months I get for doing nothing more than being a contractor who has networked. What is even worth more - when the neighbor sees the lawn we service blow up and start getting deeper green and they wonder what their guy is not doing. They notice and often inquire on what we are doing different, this leads to the cycle continuing and then next thing you know I am making $25 every two months for simply networking and have picked up a new customer as well. Go along with that - The L and O sells sod - guess who does all their sod work now , that is right , this guy. Guess who subs out all his Sod work...that is right - this guy.
The possibilities are endless if you are willing to not be a normal lawn jockey and demand a deeper cut than you truly deserve. If you are able to work with other contractors, tree, irrigation etc etc and get them work because you so often will be the first contact for the customer - so if you can simply make a phone call and get the need accomplished and collect your little bit - then level billing and drought become less of a issue in the long run. Just my two cents sense everyone seems to agree that in most of your areas you are not able to provide services year around or stretch out the season with a payment option for the client. Make more with what you can. Trust me this is a very viable option if applied correctly as a larger and larger part of my business is becoming the middle man.
Sure, networking is great, but there are guys taking about monthly billing for mowing in areas where you may skip cuts, as I understand it. Jim Lewis does all the work himself(meaning no subbing) so his guys are always doing the work. If you are subbing people out, I would think the customer would ask why they are paying you for work that someone else is doing, which doesn't always need to be done. I agree with you that networking works well, but I also think it is hard to sell someone on something that will be a continual bill for stuff that you may not be doing or may not need to be done. Again, if the customer knows that if mowing won't be done, but weeds will be sprayed, cool, no problem. But what kind of L&O work would be required in a severe drought? I really think that as it is said on lawnsite all the time, that every area is different. Heck, Florida is its own thing. What other state has rain for 6 months out of the year? Idk, just throwing some stuff out there.

Thanks for the reply.
I will use it when I will do it with code. I don't know why I could not see that solution.
Another question: Why are you using genesis_structural_wrap in your example on your site?
Thanks again.
On some projects I add sidebars with php code, on other projects I use simple sidebars. As far as I can see simple sidebars does not add a extra class to the sidebar div – with the sidebar name.
perhaps there is a filter or so?
I have a few different sidebars. Some sidebars are used on many pages. In order to apply css on the sidebars, for example a background image, I want to address the specific sidebar directly. Therefore I try to add a class in the sidebar div with the name of that sidebar. I looked into genesis-structural-wraps but i think that is not the way to go.
Any help appreciated.

The most rewarding things happen in the most unusual places and at the most unexpected times. Sitting in a car dealer's service waiting room was just the perfect setting for this special exchange. It was a chance encounter with a special man, who had a burden to share.
Most of us look for someone we know well when we want to unload or spill our guts, but sometimes it works best with the help of a kind stranger.
Stuck in a pleasant room for about an hour we talked cars, sports, and regions of the country. He was alone and mentioned several times in passing that it was only him. I had a sense there was more to the "only him" story, but have learned to not actively pry. Sure enough, within the next 10 minutes grief began to spill out of my new friend. His wife of 53 years, died of cancer 5 months ago. He was trying his best to make sense of his life and her death. It was so raw that he wasn't sleeping and couldn't stop asking himself if he had done enough to save her. He relived her 3 year fight with disease, as if he had a fine tooth comb for which he was responsible. He was the problem solver and this was the one time he couldn't solve anything. This was the one time he couldn't rescue her. He talked openly about how poor her quality of life was during her illness and how hard he tried to make things better. He was exhausted and felt like he had been hit by a freight train. As he talked his features softened and I could tell he just needed to say his thoughts out loud to someone he didn't know, who wouldn't judge, and who had a sympathetic ear. I was not offering advice; I was offering an impartial ear and heart.
"How are you doing?" is the one question he hates to be asked because he says there aren't any words yet to define how he is feeling. Concerned people expect him to say that he is ok, so he is happy to oblige, but just between me and him he has no idea how he is. He is trying to make sense of an old life and build a new life at the same time. After 53 years with someone his life and its definition is tied to his past. It's too fresh yet to venture forward. He much prefers the friends that don't ask him how he is doing, but ask him if they can get him anything at the store or invite him over for dinner.
The spell of our talk ended when a new person comes in to join in the wait. We look at each other knowingly. Enough had been said. It was time to appreciate what just happened and move on.
My car was ready. I shook his hand with friendship and told him it was a pleasure to talk with him. He held my hand for a moment and said, "Thank you". From that moment on I knew the phrase, "I'm OK," would never be the same to me.
Live your dreams,

The managers of this park have been steadily improving the park since they purchased it twelve years ago. It is primarily a family-oriented permanent site park, but has a few transient sites available. The entrance to the park is a somewhat rough and narrow road and the park is adjacent to a federal prison, but once inside provides a comfortable, if rustic, setting. Our full-hookup site provided 50-amp electricity and easy satellite TV access. The campground Wi-Fi worked well. The full time tenants in the campground generally maintain their sites well and were friendly to visitors. We were there for a holiday weekend and were impressed by the good behavior of the many young people who were there. - seeyajohn

The owners of this campground would go out of their way to help with just about anything. The sites are tight and there are many seasonal folks. It is right next to a federal prison but we felt very safe here. Quiet at night. We could not get one of the sites with sewer, so the owner would come and empty our holding tanks when asked. - JandB
Jun 2010 - $24.00
FRIENDLY! Seasonal campground, and really nice. Heated pool (82 degrees), picnic / party pavilion / plenty of grassy areas for kids to play, playground, clean restrooms/showers, hardwood shade throughout the park, activities e.g. tag-sales and parties. Plenty of seasonal campers - folks escaping the sweltering south. One guy rides herd on this re-managed / re-stored campground, while another keeps the grass neat and tidy. The office lady runs the office/store with a great smile and an iron fist, and the do-what-needs-done guy is just across the gravel street (and invites newcomers for a BS session over a cold Froshingschlosh). The rules and guidelines are reasonable, and enforced - it's quiet and peaceful after 2200 hrs. The manager is getting the place back on its feet - and doing a great job. Some folks may be put-off by the bumpy gravel road coming into the site, or the many of the electric/water-only hookups (with a pump-out when needed) for most of the sites, but the grass-everywhere sites, nice people, cool weather (warm pool), and great facilities were just right for us. Kane (15-18 miles away) is a nice little town in which to spend an afternoon (check out the Texi-Hot - been there for decades, and Bells Market - outstanding Leek-Loaf, Leek Sausage, and Leek Dip), Smethport is the "quaint" little town, the Kinzua RR Bridge is not to be missed, and Bradford has the usual big-box stores. If you have a motorcycle, be prepared to spend weeks on the by-ways...state parks, Kinzua dam and lake, museums, bars, and ice-cream stops. This is the Pennsylvania "outback" at its finest! We WILL be back to see the gang at Idlewood! - johngalt
