...not in amidol, but the proof I developed in Neutol is excellent. A lot more contrast than I would've thought. This is the only developer I've ever used on TMax which yields a green image stain. It looks a lot like Efke or Ilford films in ABC, but cleaner. Not much general stain at all.Originally Posted by jdef
Tonight I think I'm going to try one using Steve's semi-stand method. (It's the one made at the monastery, Steve. The TMax dupe of the Efke one I ruined in the workshop. I rated it at 200, so I'll be sure to back off considerably on the development.)

This is a superior product. It is wonderful to use for thickening sauces and does not alter the taste of foods. I also add it to my gluten free bread recipes to improve the texture of the bread. I am very pleased with this product and would highly recommend it to others.
Great thickener

I have used this product for years. Just mix in a little cold water and stir it to veges own hot cooking broth and you have a thickened sauce instantly.

This works so good to make a sauce for vegetables or stir fry or fruit syrup. Just add to some cold water along with desired seasoning in a small jar, shake well, then pour onto hot cooked vegetables. Stir as it will thicken quickly
Good natural thickener

Paleo safe thickener, works good for gravies and sauces, doesn't impart any taste on the things it's added to.

Posted by Reviewer1052477 on Nov 22, 2011
I'm very attentive about what I'm using in my kitchen. Long ago I stopped using vegetable cubes or starches of any kind to thicken soup or goulash. Since I found this product that you only need to use sparingly to achieve the quality of smooth, tick soup, I don't need to add anything else but vegetables and spices to get the most delicious soups ever!

Nikita Boss Teases a Major 'Paradigm Shift' and the Death of a 'Fan Favorite' In the Season Finale
Nikita Boss Teases a Major 'Paradigm Shift' and the Death of a 'Fan Favorite' In the Season Finale
After tonight's Nikita (8/7c, The CW), the spy thriller will never be the same.
Here, showrunner Craig Silverstein discusses with TVLine the series' shocking shift in direction (it's major), previews the death of a "fan favorite" (also major) and reveals what fans of "Mikita," "Salex" and "Birkya" (?) can look forward to in the show's second season ender (less major, but still fun).
TVLINE | How did you approach this season's finale, given that you hadn't yet received a renewal when you wrote it? Is it a pretty self-contained episode?
Yeah, I always approach the end of a season that way. I've said this before, but I would never leave on a huge cliffhanger. It's just not my style… unless we were absolutely guaranteed that we were coming back.
TVLINE | Would you describe the hour as a game-changer?
I would say it's a paradigm shift that is akin to what we did in going from Season 1 to Season 2. People are on a different side than they thought they would be at the end of [the episode].
RELATED | The CW's Fall 2012-13 Schedule Revealed: Where's Nikita?
TVLINE | That was a daunting cliffhanger the show left off on last week. How could Michael and Nikita possibly succeed and/or make it out of Division alive?
The answer is: They don't make it out. That's all I'll say there.
TVLINE | Maggie Q recently told us that while Nikita and Percy will finally face off in the finale, they will also have to work together. Describe that dynamic and why you decided to have them fight with one another?
We always wanted more time with them. In fact, since Season 1, there's been an episode we've wanted to do in which Nikita and Percy are together running some kind of gauntlet and she has to protect him. She wants to kill him but needs to protect him for some greater good. We actually got a smidgen of that at the end of the Season 1 episode when we first met Owen… [but] we were never able to fully get that episode from beginning to end up on its feet. So, we were finally able to get a couple acts of it into the finale, which was a lot of fun. The fact that Percy turns the tables on Nikita and creates the reason for that dynamic is the ultimate Percy ploy.
TVLINE | Fans are pretty nervous that there's at least one death on the way. What can you say about the soon-to-be-deceased?
A fan favorite character doesn't make it out alive.
TVLINE | So, you're confident this is someone we'll miss next season?
I think so, yeah.
RELATED | Nikita Promotes Noah Bean to Series Regular
TVLINE | Are there any new developments between Michael and Nikita in the season ender? Or are they pretty content in their current place?
Yeah, near the end [of the episode], there's big decision that they have to make together, and it's about what they thought they wanted back in the beginning of the season.
TVLINE | What about Alex and Sean? They're currently out on their own and in some pretty dire circumstances. Will that impact their budding romance at all?
In a jam-packed finale, we do make some room for that relationship to continue to move along. I just like seeing the two of them in action. There's a little moment that Lyndsy [Fonseca] sort of created where they have to open up the back of a car, and she's looking at him like, "Go! Do it!" It's just this little moment that's very them. In real life, when we're filming, [Lyndsy and Dillon Casey] are telling each other to shut up all the time… [Laughs] We picked up on that and tried to put it into their characters' dynamic.

Integrated Operations: Executive Summary
Gurney, D. H., Joint Force Quarterly
Few of our readers know that Joint Force Quarterly is delivered to every general and flag officer within the Department of Defense, as well as to senior leaders throughout the executive branch of the U.S. Government. For decisionmakers, executive summaries are an essential daily element of time management in the face of heavy responsibilities and tight schedules. JFQ is mindful that national security professionals at every level face competing demands for their attention. The purpose of this executive summary is not to reduce the Forum's content to a few summarizing bullets, but rather to address the So what? question behind the editors' assessment that these submissions are truly worth readers' time.
Like Generals Shelton and Myers before him, General Pace has placed great emphasis on the importance of U.S. military leaders integrating their plans and operations "with a wide variety of actors" in an effort to achieve national objectives in a more holistic fashion. Whether this involves military organizations from more than one country combined with one or more U.S. or foreign governmental agencies, private volunteer organizations, international nongovernmental organizations, and private or public local agencies is not as important as the intent: to maximize efficiency and legitimacy in achieving national security objectives. While this has been done in an ad hoc fashion for years, the potential value added is so great that, like "jointness," this concept is in need of formal approaches, starting with institutional adaptation.
Our first Forum article, "Planning Lessons from Afghanistan and Iraq," focuses on the contemporary security threat and the way in which leaders plan and orchestrate diplomatic and military instruments of power to meet this threat. Hailing back to the Clausewitzian admonition to understand the nature of the war in question, Joseph Collins focuses on the critical importance of interagency partnership in planning for, and subsequently addressing, the fractured environments produced by blunt military power contests. Dr. Collins argues that involving the interagency community in the military aspects of the planning process is essential to achieving security objectives in the postconflict (or postcrisis) return to normalcy. He concludes with eight practical recommendations to improve mid-range planning.
The second Forum article, "Combating Terrorism: A Socio-Economic Strategy," addresses the economic instrument of national power in the war on terror and the relationship between economic prosperity, stability, and terror. Miemie Winn Byrd posits that the traditional argument that "market-based solutions cannot lead to poverty reduction and economic development" is no longer plausible and that collaborating with nontraditional partners is a necessary component of a successful counterterrorism strategy. Major Byrd criticizes inflexible planning and other traditional military organizational problems as enemies of innovation in the economic arena. Regional combatant commanders must anticipate a future in which more businesses find competitive arenas in underdeveloped nations and seek to cultivate their partnership in defeating terror.
Our third Forum feature, "Integrating Partner Nations into Coalition Operations," outlines the techniques, mechanisms, and integrated operations successes used by the U.S. regional combatant command with the fewest resources to perform its mission: U.S. Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM). This dearth of assets and a perceived absence of strategic threat have inspired great interagency and partner nation coordination to bring, as General Pace noted in his message earlier, a greater array of resources and expertise to bear on the increasing transnational threat. …

I'm not even going to critique as I'm a beginner, but my trainer (who is an eventer and well known in my area and not only) made me jump with no reins spread hands (like in a video), one leg in stirrup, and no stirrups at all. Just like that: over and over till it goes smoothly. I also was asked to jump with closed eyes to feel and follow the horse. I think all those exercises definitely help to find you balance (or you are in trouble lol!).
I do think you both look very nice BTW! I wish my paint could do XC as well as you do! :)

4 Reasons To Get Back With An Ex - Or Not
4 Reasons To Get Back With An Ex - Or Not
4 Reasons To Get Back With An Ex - Or Not
3. Because Your Ex Might Actually Be Someone Special Instead Of So-So: I get it. Being single can sometimes suck. Especially as you watch all of your girlfriends settle down, get married, and live a life that feels out of reach. But guess what's even worse than being temporarily alone? Being lonely in a relationship with the wrong person forever. Sure, you can make the case that settling for a mediocre relationship means you're sure to reach all those life milestones: marriage, baby and "now what." But I've gotta tell you: Those milestones are only meaningful with the right person. I've said it before and I'll say it again: had I married and had a child with any other man I'd dated or been in a relationship with prior to meeting The Hubs, I would either be divorced or in jail for murder. So how do you feel? Is your ex truly someone special? Is your ex a Game ON or a Game OVER?
4. Because Big Risks Can Pay Off: The disappointment that accompanies the demise of a relationship can be paralyzing. It's not just that you loved your ex and the life you had together; it's that the version of "happily ever after" you constructed in your head and heart is forever gone, and you're forced to mourn the loss alone. This, by far, is the most compelling reason women want to get back together with their ex. And while I think there's nothing more exciting than for an individual to walk away from the wrong relationship (whether they got dumped or did the dumping) so they can ready themselves for the right one, I get that the risk of believing someone better is out there may feel far too, well, risky. If you've truly taken the time to search around and consider other options but still feel that your ex is the one, you might have something there.
But here's the thing all major leaders and successful love stories will tell you: Without great risk, there is no great reward. I think you're worthy of gambling on. I'm betting if you don't get back together with your ex, you will eventually find the most amazing love of your life. But again — I said eventually. I know that's a frustrating word when your ex is available immediately.
So there you have it. Four compelling reasons to get back together with your ex and the reality checks that accompany each one. So there's just one more question: when it comes to getting back together with your ex, are you saying Game ON or Game OVER?

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Work on the underground parking garage is well underway, and after years of inactivity, folks in downtown Lexington are now seeing the CentrePointe project become more than just artist renderings.
"The barricades went up. And then the dozers and the backhoes and so forth are in there working right now. So we're proceeding according to plan," said project developer Dudley Webb.
Webb says the next four months will primarily be excavating and blasting through the rock that lies deep beneath the surface, 34 feet to be exact.
From that point, Webb says it will take around three months to construct the parking garage that will sit underneath the massive structure.
"On top of the garage will be a flat slab and then the buildings going up on top of that. And that process is about 18 months," Webb said.
So in about two years, Lexington should be seeing the long-awaited structure, completed and ready for business.
"I think the public's really gonna appreciate the hard work that went into this thing, but more importantly, the end product. It's gonna be great," added Webb.
Webb says from this point on, no traffic patterns should be affected by the construction.

Should you sell after a dividend cut?
Carnival Corp (CCL) announced on October 31 that it will suspend its dividend for 2009. The company announced that the dividend suspension would result in annualized cash savings of approximately $1.3 billion. The significant liquidity provided by the dividend suspension gives the company the flexibility to fund its 2009 capacity growth without the need to access credit markets. The stock proceeded to lose 15% of its value by the end of the week, following the announcement.
Genworth Financial (GNW) announced on November 6 that it will suspend its dividend and stock buyback. The stock lost over one third of its value at the close of the session on November 7th, compared to the opening price for the day.
The E.W. Scripps Company (SSP) suspended their dividends on November 7. The company CEO justified the decision - including headcount reductions, suspension of the dividend and other expense reductions – as one that will keep the company's debt low and balance sheet healthy. The stock headed lower, losing 2% off the opening price for the day.
Strategic Hotels and Resorts (BEE) announced a dividend suspension on its common stock on November 5th. The stock lost over fourteen and a half percent over the next 2 trading days to close at $3.37 on November 7th.
Group 1 Automotive, Inc. (GPI) announced on November 5 that its Board has approved a 64% reduction in its quarterly dividend from $0.14 to $0.05 per common share. The stock finished lower at the day of the announcement, but quickly recovered and ended one percent higher than what it was trading for before the dividend cut.
KB Home (KBH) announced on November 5 that its Board has approved a 75% reduction in its quarterly dividend from $0.25 to $0.0625. As a result shares fell to $14.76, recording a loss of over 12.5% in just under two trading days.
CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (CBL) announced on November 4 a 32.7% reduction in its quarterly dividend from $0.55 to $0.37 per common share. The stock was hit hard as a result of this announcement. CBL shares promptly lost over twenty three percent in three days.
DCT Industrial Trust's (DCT) Board of Directors declared 50% reduction in its quarterly distribution which was previously $0.16 on November 4. The stock didn't lose a lot of ground as it fell about four percent in three trading days.
Typically dividend cutters or eliminators have performed worse than the stock market over the past 30 years. Furthermore, based off this information and the list of dividend cuts, it seems that dividend investors would have saved themselves from suffering further losses had they sold their stock right after the dividend cut or suspension announcement.

So a company who slashes its divined is admitting times are tough; or at least their times are tough.ReplyDelete
On average, as you said, companies who slash or suspend their dividends underperform the S&P 500 over time, which means half do worse and HALF do better.
If you own an interest in a business and your committed for a long while and you understand the business, it may not always be gospel to ditch the stock upon the announcement of a dividend cut or suspension.
It may be the best choice at this or that time for the company, slashing or removing it's dividend that is, and if you understand that, maybe it's a time to buy a larger interest?
Just a thought.
Theoretically it is true that a dividend cut is good as it allows companies to have more flexibility with their cash flows.
However my main objective in buying dividend stocks is to get a rising dividend income. If this does not happen, then why should I hold on to a loser and let my funds sit idle when I could re-invest my proceeds in something that increases its dividends?
Typically US companies mainly increase or leave the dividend unchanged. (Us shareholders are spoiled in this situation). If management has no other option but to cut the dividends, which in itself is a last resort of action and management knows about those concerns, then management de facto admits that they have no control over the situation.. Furthermore they tell you that they are bearish on their business and believe that it won't bring in enough cash for the foreseeable future. Why should I hold on to such stocks?
With hindsight, selling stocks in the S&P 500 after a dividend cut in 2008 would have saved you a lot of money.. Because this was simply an indicator that all hell will break loose pretty soon..
If a company has had a history of raising dividends for decades, and then all of a sudden they tell me that this time it is different, i simply don't believe them.. and show my vote by selling..

Brewers By the (Jersey) Numbers '15 – #78 Taylor Jungmann
Welcome to the first installment of my annual column series counting down to Brewers Opening Day!
Veteran readers know the drill, but for all of you who may not have found my work until the regular season started last year here's the skinny. We count down to Opening Day for the Milwaukee Brewers — Monday, April 6th this year — by profiling a different Brewers player on certain days along the way. Who I profile on a specific day is determined by the jersey number that the player will be wearing while in big league camp at Spring Training.
So, to illustrate, April 4th is two days away from Opening Day. Scooter Gennett wears #2 on his jersey. I profile Scooter Gennett on April 4th. Make sense? Okay, one more…
Today is January 18th and we sit 78 days away from Opening Day 2015. The player who has worn 78 on his back in each of his big league spring trainings will do so again in 2015.
That player is…
Taylor Jungmann.
After being selected with the 12th overall pick in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft, the path for Taylor Heath Jungmann seemed to be pretty much laid out. A three-year college pitcher at the University of Texas, Jungmann was viewed as someone who was as much a finished product as anyone in that draft. The Brewers wanted someone who could reach the majors in a couple of years if everything broke right.
The 6'6″ right-hander didn't pitch in 2011 following a long junior season at Texas with a ton of innings on his arm. He also didn't sign until late in the year, a product of the old rules governing amateur signing deadlines. Despite it all, he made an encouraging professional debut in 2012 at High-A Brevard County. (It was disappointing on a personal level that he never pitched as a Timber Rattler as I was looking forward to seeing him in person, though perhaps I'll get my chance if he's still at Triple-A in June.) By the time a somewhat disappointing 2013 season entirely with the Class-AA Huntsville Stars (10-10 record, 4.33 ERA) concluded, the talk had turned from "maybe not developing as quickly as was hoped" to "maybe he won't ever get there". I suppose I understand the scouting reports driving those sentiments, like the concern that Jungmann's control still hadn't come around (4.7 BB/9) and his strikeouts were way off the expected pace (5.3 K/9 for a 1.12 K/BB ratio), but I've never been one to simply give up on a young and talented guy so quickly. Then again, I'm nothing even close to a professional baseball scout either.
Still, Jungmann was giving people some concern. He would start 2014 back with the Stars, in part because of how full the Class-AAA Nashville Sounds rotation was to begin the year. Jungmann shined in his 52.0 IP with Huntsville. He posted a 2.77 ERA, maintained his 0.7 HR/9 rate, slashed his walk rate to 2.6, and even upped his strikeouts recording 46 for a healthy 8.0 K/9. He earned a promotion to Nashville which was realized in mid-May.
Jungmann pitched strongly in his first taste of Triple-A competition. His ERA predictably went up, and his walk rate jumped probably more than anyone would like, but he increased his strikeout rate and did a lot to be very encouraged about moving forward. For instance, Jungmann allowed at least 4 ER in six of his Triple-A appearances, but none came after July 13th. In fact, Jungmann finished the season with a run of five starts with a game score of at least 60, and six of seven with the other game checking in at 59. His final start saw his give up one earned run over 5.0 IP. He struck out nine in that game, but also walked six. If you take it as a microcosm (which is somewhat unfair given the walks in that game but anyway…), you can see some of the strides he's made but also that he still has things to work on.
Entering his age 25 season, Jungmann required 40-man roster protection from the Rule 5 Draft last month and in part as a result looks to be the number seven starting pitcher for the Brewers (if the roster construction on Opening Day matches how things are today). I absolutely predict we'll see Jungmann toe the rubber in The Show in 2015. For the sake of team success, you hope that's not until September when he gets to experience life as a September call-up, but chances are we'll see the big Texas-native before that.
The pieces foreseen by the late Bruce Seid and his staff when selecting Jungmann with Milwaukee's top overall draft pick in 2011 are finally starting to fall into place. Hopefully those pieces are one day a part of a championship puzzle at Miller Park.
But for now, for the six weeks of Spring Training, watch for number 78 to continue to build on the best season of his professional career.

Brewers Jersey Number Updates
Several of the newest jersey numbers for Brewers 40-man rosterees were updated last night.
If you've read me for any length of time, you probably know what a number nerd I am by now. After all, these numbers are an impetus behind my annual countdown to Opening Day.
Without further ado, here are the number updates which also will be where you can find these players in said countdown.
Logan Schafer, who gave up his #22 when Matt Garza was signed during last year's Brewers On Deck fanfest, now had to give up his #1 after the team retired it for outgoing commissioner and former owner Bud Selig. Schafer gets #7 for 2015.
Brooks Hall was listed without a number for a time but returns to the 63 he wore last spring as a new 40-man add.
Similarly, Taylor Jungmann returns to the 78 he's worn as a past non-roster invitee.
David Goforth will wear #77 when pitchers and catchers report to Maryvale in his first spring on the 40-man.
Number 76 now belongs to lefty Mike Strong as he contends for a specialist role in the big league bullpen.
And now for the guys new to the organization…
Big off-season acquisition and new starting first baseman Adam Lind will wear the 24 used by Lyle Overbay last season.
Catcher Juan Centeno has been assigned #66.
Finally for these updates, shortstop Yadiel Rivera will don #65 in his first big league camp.
(As of this writing, new corner infielder Luis Jimenez and new outfielder Shane Peterson hadn't been assigned a number…at least not ones that were updated on the Brewers website.)
Don't Call It a Comeback
My annual countdown to Opening Day will return for another season!
There has been some decent 40-man roster turnover since Spring Training. I mark the passage of time from (roughly) the turn of the calendar until Brewers Opening Day by previewing players who wear a certain uniform number on the corresponding day.
We're 98 days away from Opening Day, so we won't get underway on this thing quite yet, but once the countdown coincides with a jersey, you'll see the first column go up.
I call the series "Brewers By the (Jersey) Numbers" and it works a little something like this:
- Opening Day is April 6, 2015.
- March 29th is eight days before April 6th.
- Ryan Braun wears number 8 on his jersey.
- I'll write an article reviewing Ryan Braun's 2014 and looking ahead to his 2015 and post it on March 29, 2015.
Make sense? Here's another example:
- Jonathan Broxton wears number 51.
- 51 days before April 6th is February 14th.
- I'll post my Broxton column on February 14th.
I do a column on every player who is on the Brewers 40-man roster along with most Spring Training non-roster invitees. I'll update this space with a full schedule once the uniform numbers for the newest 40-man additions are announced. I'll update it again as non-roster invitees are revealed.
Thanks for reading and sticking with me this winter. BBtJN is a very popular series and I thank you for that. Stay tuned!
Brewers Add Three to 40-Man Roster
Today the Brewers announced the additions of three players to the 40-man roster, a move that comes ahead of today's deadline to protect those players from the Rule 5 Draft. The Rule 5 Draft takes places each December on the last day of baseball's annual Winter Meetings.
Last year the Brewers protected four players: infielders Hunter Morris and Jason Rogers, and pitchers Kevin Shackelford (since removed) and Brooks Hall.
Morris and Hall were hurt for a stretch of time in 2014, though Hall pitched well making up time in the Arizona Fall League following surgery. Jason Rogers was among Milwaukee's September call-ups in 2014.
The Brewers had nearly a full 40-man roster of players to consider for protection (38), including 22 who were eligible for the Rule 5 Draft for the first time.
Here are the three prospects who were protected with a little bit more information about each of them.
Taylor Jungmann is a big (6'6″) right-handed pitcher who was the team's top overall draft pick (12th overall) in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft out of the University of Texas. He split time this season between Double-A Huntsville and, after an earned promotion, Triple-A Nashville. He posted a combined 12-10 record in 27 starts and one appearance out of the bullpen right after his promotion to Triple-A. Jungmann, who turns 25 next month, posted a composite 3.57 ERA in 153.2 innings. He struck out 147 hitters overall, 101 of which came in his 101.2 innings at Nashville.
Mike Strong, who turned 26 three days ago, earned protection after a long and successful 2014. The southpaw pitcher played for three different teams this year, making all but one regular season appearance with High-A Brevard County before a one-game season-ender with Huntsville (where he pitched 4.0 scoreless in relief) and then participating in the Arizona Fall League as a member of the Glendale Desert Dogs. In the Florida State League, Strong was 2-2 with a 2.50 ERA in 75.2 innings pitched across 30 games (six starts). He struck out 78 batters as a Manatee, saved four games, and posted a 1.044 WHIP. In Arizona, his 1.98 ERA in 11 games, two saves, and 14 punchies in 13.2 innings were a cherry on top of his case to make the 40-man roster.
Yadiel Rivera is the third player protected this year and is considered to be nearly ready defensively for the Major Leagues. Before 2014, however, Rivera's bat was lagging significantly behind. Still just 22 years old, Rivera slashed .258/.309/.374 combined in 2014, with a line of .262/.304/.410 at Double-A following his late-June promotion from High-A. He still needs development at the plate, and Orlando Arcia will be nipping at his heels at shortstop in the system, but with his defensive profile and step forward as a hitter, Rivera deserved protection.
With these three additions, the Brewers 40-man roster currently stands at 39 players.
Of note is that the Brewers are still considering the addition of a fourth player to the 40-man roster in advance of today's 11pm CT deadline. That report came via a tweet from beat writer Tom Haudricourt who called GM Doug Melvin for comments on Jungmann, Strong, and Rivera.
David Goforth was the surprise to me this morning as having been left off of the 40-man roster, but to hear that the Brewers are still considering him is encouraging.
Breaking News: Jungmann Promoted, Nelson Scratched, Gallardo To Miss Start?
There's been some "confluence of events" news breaking on Twitter over the past few minutes.
Taylor Jungmann has been promoted to AAA Nashville
— Brewers Player Dev (@BrewersPD) May 23, 2014
That's big news in and of itself for the former 12th overall pick. But then it was coupled with more…
P Taylor Jungmann — the #Brewers #6 prospect — joins Sounds & will make Triple-A debut tonight; P Jimmy Nelson will not pitch tonight
— Nashville Sounds (@nashvillesounds) May 23, 2014
And given what we know about Yovani Gallardo's ankle and the likelihood that he'll miss (at least) one start — his next is scheduled for Sunday in Miami — it sure makes sense that Jungmann will be starting for Nelson tonight for the Triple-A Nashville Sounds so that Nelson can make his season debut for the Brewers on Sunday.
Also newsworthy, @Jimmy_J_Nelson won't start tonight for Nashville. That's all aligning for Nelson to start for #Brewers on Sunday.
— The Brewer Nation (@BrewerNation) May 23, 2014
Nelson has dominated Triple-A hitters this season, to the tune of a 5-1 record, 1.71 ERA in 58.0 IP, 58 K, and a 57.4% ground ball rate. He's allowed just 17 walks and 37 hits which gives him a 0.97 WHIP. And while his BABIP against is .245, that's supported by a 12.8% line drive rate, a 2.41 FIP and a 2.94 SIERA.
This could be just a single spot start, but also a good look at a key piece of the Milwaukee Brewers future rotation.
The only question surrounding the situation is who goes out to bring Nelson up. We'll find that out either after the game tomorrow or on Sunday morning.

Brewers Arizona Fall League Participants Announced
Each year, for quite some time now, prospects from every MLB organization come together to form six teams which compete over the course of about 5.5 weeks in the Arizona Fall League.
This year the AFL runs from October 8 through the league championship game on November 16. The annual All-Star Game, appropriately dubbed the "Fall Stars Game" will be held on November 2.
Brewers prospects will be a part of a new team this year. After a few years as a part of the Peoria Javelinas and competing last year with the Phoenix Desert Dogs, Milwaukee's contributions to roster composition will play their home games at Surprise Stadium as members of the Surprise Saguaros.
(For the record, a "Saguaro" is a large, tree-sized cactus which can grow to 66 feet in height and whose branches are shaped like candelabra.)
Brewers prospects will join prospects from the Cleveland Indians, Baltimore Orioles, Texas Rangers, and Boston Red Sox.
The Brewers will be sending six players (and one Athletic Trainer, Steve Patera) to Surprise this fall. Here are the participants, broken down by position:
- David Goforth – RHP – Twitter: @DavidGoforth7 – (Highest Minor League level played at in 2013: Double-A)
- Taylor Jungmann – RHP – (Double-A)

Brewers By the (Jersey) Numbers: #78 Taylor Jungmann
Welcome to the first official installment of Brewers By the (Jersey) Numbers as we countdown to Opening Day of the 2013 regular season!
After the bonus article was posted, I decided to skip #79 Anderson De La Rosa because, quite frankly, he's really just a camp catcher at this point and there really isn't anything particularly encouraging to point out about his career arc at this point.
Moving on though to today's entry we find ourselves 78 days away from Opening Day which brings us to the man who wore #78 last spring following his selection as the Brewers' first overall draft choice in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft…
Taylor Jungmann.
Taylor Heath Jungmann was the 12th overall selection in the 2011 draft and thanks in part to now outdated rules didn't sign until very late in the season. So late, in fact, that he didn't throw a professional pitch for the Brewers in 2011.
Following his invitation big league camp in 2012, Jungmann performed about as you would expect before his reassignment to minor league camp. He saw 2.2 innings of work over two games. He hit a batter, walked three, struck out two, and allowed five runs (four earned) on four hits.
His minor league season would be significantly better.
Assigned directly to the Class-A Advanced affiliate Brevard County Manatees, Jungmann made his professional debut. He would stay with the Manatees for all of 2012 making 26 starts. He compiled an 11-6 record supported by the following numbers: 153.0 IP, 159 H, 70 R (60 ER), 7 HR, 46 BB, 99 K, 11 hit batsmen, 3.53 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, 1.94 GO/AO. He had one complete game and held opponents overall to a .267 batting average.
Last year, I wrote about Jungmann's repertoire. I said that "he will look to improve upon what scouts have labeled three "plus" pitches. A fastball with plus movement which has been thrown between 91-97 mph, even touching 98 mph, though tends to sit in the 93-95 MPH range. A curve, with a hard and tight 11-to-5 break. Along with a changeup. His command is usually considered average and he occasionally gets too much of the middle of the plate. Jungmann has demonstrated outstanding control though, throwing strikes and not hurting himself with walks."
Those seemed to be tendencies which held true in 2012. He walked too many (2.71 BB/9), hit too many (though that's partly a result of learning to work off the plate more than he did in college), but kept the ball in the yard well and induced nearly twice as many groundouts as fly ball outs. He needs to keep that ground ball rate up because, quite frankly, he doesn't strike that many out.
Jungmann was just interviewed on a local radio station in the Milwaukee market and he was asked about his goals for the upcoming season. (You can listen to his interview here. It the last segment of the show.) Among the goals listed were maintaining his changeup and improving on his curveball. That's a bit of a difference from when he was first drafted out of the University of Texas when it seemed more like his curveball was his second-best pitch.
Based on the promotions/graduations in the system coupled with his success, look for Jungmann to begin the 2013 regular season assigned to the Double-A Huntsville Stars. It'll be a good challenge for the talented right-hander and should go a long way in determining how soon we might see him throwing in Nashville and then ultimately Milwaukee.
Still only 23-years-old (he just turned such on December 18th), the track is laid out for Jungmann's eventual ascent to the big leagues. He's a smart pitcher, he knows his craft, and he's much more interested in the process right now without worrying too much about the results. In other words, if he's working on his curveball and gives up some hits because guys realize he's throwing it a lot, he isn't worried about those hits.
If you're headed to spring training this year, keep an eye out for the big 6'6″ Texan with #78 on his back. He'll likely be entering games out of the bullpen while in big league camp, but don't let that fool you. His future success will come as the first man on the bump.

Keep storm drains and streets clear and safe this fall—bring your leaves, pine needles and grass clippings to one of our free leaf disposal and food drive events. You can also clear your cupboards by donating canned and nonperishable food at the same time! Mark your calendar for:
City residents may also drop off leaves at the events below.
Saturday, December 5
Saturday, December 19
Mon. - Fri. from 8 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Participating in the leaf disposal program helps:
This program is funded by Clean Water Services' $7.25 per month Surface Water Management (SWM) fee. The SWM fee pays for flood management and water quality protection and improvement programs including street sweeping, 24-hour emergency flood response, catch basin cleaning, water quality monitoring, watershed planning and public education.
Last year Washington County residents cleared 105 dump truck loads of leaves from
neighborhood streets and donated 3,406 pounds of food and $282 to the Oregon
Food Bank. Clean Water Services composts about 10,000 cubic yards of leaves each year which includes leaves from our regular street sweeping program, curbside leaf collection and the annual leaf disposal program. That translates into about 1,000 dump truck loads per year (an average dump truck holds about 10-12 cubic yards). Leaves are taken to West Union Gardens and made into mulch.

Peter Facinelli and his wife Jennie Garth logged some time poolside yesterday while on vacation in Mexico. Jennie broke out her striped bikini to soak up the sun, and Peter took off his button-down to give us our latest peek at his shirtless bod. Peter and Jennie are enjoying some rest and relaxation together before he gets down to work promoting Eclipse around its release next month. For now, though, all he and Jennie have to do is appreciate the flora and fauna South of the border and try not to get scared by fireworks.

Nine Inch Nails Return to America With Massive Lollapalooza Gig
Nine Inch Nails Return to America With Massive Lollapalooza Gig
At 8:15 p.m., as a single light illuminated the front of the Bud Light stage, Trent Reznor brought Nine Inch Nails back to America. It was Night One of Lollapalooza, and the ever-mysterious musician took the stage to grand expectations: This was, after all, the first Nails set on American soil since Reznor put his most famous band on indefinite hiatus following a 2009 tour.
Reznor and his new lineup – which has already undergone several personnel changes in the lead-up to their festival-heavy set of forthcoming tour dates – have in recent weeks begun unveiling cuts off the band's new album, Hesitation Marks. Friday was no exception: New tracks were abundant during their Lollapalooza set, including "Copy Of A," the dance-heavy lead single "Come Back Haunted" and "Find My Way."
10 Must-See Acts at Lollapalooza
Nails' hardcore fans were treated to classics as well: "Sanctified," off the band's choke-slam of a debut album, 1989's Pretty Hate Machine, was busted out early on, and live staple "Head Like A Hole" was naturally trotted out, albeit typically late in the set.
The Downward Spiral is the bread-and-butter album to many longtime fans, and Reznor seemed to know as much. The singer unleashed a one-two punch of "March Of The Pigs" and "Piggy," the former providing a jolt of adrenaline with the crowd screaming along to the song's melodic refrain.
Fifteen minutes after Reznor began pulverizing the Lolla crowd, a more measured but equally over-the-top performance took flight on the opposite end of Grant Park. "Windy City!" the Killers' frontman Brandon Flowers bellowed at the hysteric masses packed in to see the Vegas rockers, who previously headlined the fest in 2009. "Tonight you're with the boys from Sin City. We'll try not to corrupt you."
Flowers, of course, was being hyperbolic. Unlike NIN, there's little depravity in the Killers' musical repertoire. It is, however, imperative to strap in when seeing the Nevada four-piece, since the hits come fast and furious. The Killers wasted little time on Friday. The band, which includes guitarist Dave Keunig, bassist Mark Stoermer and drummer Ronnie Vannucci, Jr., immediately charged into their biggest hit, 2004's "Mr. Brightside," off their name-making debut album, Hot Fuss. They then proceeded to fill their 95-minute set with songs both seasoned ("Spaceman") and those still finding their place in the set ("Miss Atomic Bomb" off last year's Battle Born).
Portions of the Killers' set lacked headliner-worthy energy. But Flowers, ever the poignant performer, wearing a black leather jacket before stripping it to reveal a blue silky shirt emblazoned with stars, took it as his personal calling to reclaim any lost momentum. There he was much of the evening, hopping from one stage position to the next, particularly during "Human," or theatrically miming the lyrics to tunes like "The Way It Was." The set was big-balled, arena-worthy and mammoth. Some acts struggle to translate their aesthetic to the live arena; the Killers are not such a band.
The Killers also made good use of the opportunities big-ticket festivals offer for collaboration: They invited New Order founder Bernard Sumner out to duet on guitar for a spin through "Shadowplay" by Joy Division, the groundbreaking band Sumner co-founded.

There's only a little information about this Iris. It looks different than the species, it misses the typical yellow markings. According RHS 'black-flowered' is an accepted name. It is often sold as 'Black Form', 'Black', 'Black Velvet', 'Black Knight', 'Black Beauty. These are all synonyms (and also invalid names) for this Iris according RHS.

In a series of articles starting this week, and seven years after first looking into the MMR scare, journalist Brian Deer now shows the extent of Wakefield's fraud and how it was perpetrated (doi:10.1136/bmj.c5347). Drawing on interviews, documents, and data made public at the GMC hearings, Deer shows how Wakefield altered numerous facts about the patients' medical histories in order to support his claim to have identified a new syndrome; how his institution, the Royal Free Hospital and Medical School in London, supported him as he sought to exploit the ensuing MMR scare for financial gain; and how key players failed to investigate thoroughly in the public interest when Deer first raised his concerns.
doc2doc previously had a thread on the MMR series of articles and the responses it got on the BMJ that was great.


text: 000 FXUS63 KLSX 290334 AFDLSX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO 934 PM CST SAT NOV 28 2015 .UPDATE: Issued at 930 PM CST Sat Nov 28 2015 Somewhat nebulous precip threat over the CWA this evening as AMS certainly remains saturated, but lifting mechanisms are weak and rather ill-defined. There does appear to be two potential areas of somewhat stronger ascent...the first is over southern sections of the CWA, where several minor shortwaves appear to be embedded in the strong westerlies. The second area is currently over nw MO, where weak WAA into 850 baroclinic zone appears to be aiding precip. In between, rain threat will likely be limited to some drizzle or very light rain/sprinkles. Just getting a look at some of the new 00z data, and it would appear that the aforementioned WAA over nw MO will be working into northern sections of our CWA by tomorrow morning. Therefore, have allowed some low chance pops associated with this lift to work into northern sections of the CWA after midnight tonight, and have maintained this threat into the morning hours. Temps in our far northwest counties would suggest a threat of frozen precip during the predawn hours if the precip does reach this area. Don`t think this would be a big deal given warm ground temps and what should be a rather brief period of time temps will be below 32, but will certainly continue to monitor. Truett && .SHORT TERM: (Through Late Tonight) Issued at 255 PM CST Sat Nov 28 2015 Although the cold front has pushed well south-southeast of our forecast area, extending from southern AR northeast into southern OH, will continue to get waves of mainly light rain moving through at least parts of southeast MO and southwest IL tonight as weak west-southwest flow shortwaves continue to move through the region ahead of the upper level low over the Rockies. The models were depicting upper level divergence over our region well ahead of the upper level trough or low. There may also be some patchy drizzle across our area tonight from the persistent low level stratus cloud deck. Temperatures should be warm enough that the precipitation will fall as liquid rain, although could not rule out a little light freezing rain or drizzle across parts of northeast MO late tonight. May be a little erosion of the low level cloud deck across parts of northeast MO and west central IL due to drier air advecting in from the north on the southern periphery of the surface ridge moving eastward through the northern Plains. There should still be mid-high level cloudiness across this area. With continued cloud cover the model MOS low temperatures tonight look a little too cool and went just above guidance for minimum temperatures for most places. GKS .LONG TERM: (Sunday through Next Saturday) Issued at 255 PM CST Sat Nov 28 2015 (Sunday - Monday) As the wound-up western CONUS storm begins to stir eastward, the pattern over our region remains status quo thru Sunday night, with an active southwest flow aloft and additional disturbances tracking thru, overrunning moisture well to the north of the old surface boundary at times in a light pcpn "flare-up". One of these such "flare-ups" will be later in the day on Sunday and into Sunday night. The models are showing the initial outbreak of rain to be in central MO by early afternoon with it then expanding mainly to the north from there but the atmosphere and synoptic setup is such that it will be hard to go completely dry in other areas. Bumped PoPs to likely for areas north and west of STL metro, with low chances elsewhere. QPF looks to be light for areas that do get pcpn, with up to one-quarter inch liquid equivalent possible. The influence of the main storm system center itself will be felt on Monday and Monday night as an upper level disturbance rotates around the southern periphery of what should still be a closed LOW as it tracks to our north. This will combine with what will initially be an occluded front passing thru, with a cold front shortly after. A more widespread rain event should result on Monday and perhaps into Monday evening, but the best rainfall amounts will once again be found over areas north and west of STL metro where the better upper level support will reside. Up to a third of an inch of liquid equivalent will be possible from this event. P-types throughout this period should be entirely rain with vertical temp profiles strongly supportive of liquid falling, and surface temps should remain above freezing when any pcpn is falling. Too early in the season to worry about cold surfaces influencing things. With extensive cloud cover anticipated, favored daytime max temps at or below the coldest MOS; conversely preferred nighttime min temps at or above the warmest MOS. (Tuesday - Next Saturday) Models in better agreement throughout this period than they were yesterday, with major items worked out. Wound-up storm begins the period to the north and pulling away, with NW flow aloft thru Thursday and an ill-defined and weak shortwave that passes thru a moisture-starved column on Thursday, showing preference for the EC solution from yesterday. Ridging aloft then takes hold for late week. No signs of any significant cold air intrusions thru this period, with seasonable to above average temps preferred by mid-late week. This will all combine with westerly surface flow thru Thursday, becoming southerly Friday and Saturday. With strong influence from high pressure throughout, this will favor a dry forecast for a change. One interesting item of note, depending on how fast the cooler air builds in on Tuesday, could see temps reach the mid 50s in spots thanks to anticipated deep mixing from WSW flow. After a brief cooldown from there Wednesday and Thursday, could very well see temps make a run on 60F by week`s end. TES && .AVIATION: (For the 00z TAFs through 00z Sunday Evening) Issued at 532 PM CST Sat Nov 28 2015 Ceilings will stay on the edge of IFR along and south of the I-70 corridor tonight all night tonight. Should see some improvement in ceilings further north across northeast Missouri and west central Illinois as drier air filters south across the region. Further south across the eastern Ozarks and into southern Illinois, I expect little if any improvement over the IFR conditions currently being reported. Latest guidance shows some improvement for most of the area on Sunday ahead of the next wave of rain which will move into central Missouri by early afternoon...but I don`t think ceilings above 3000 FT are likely anywhere except across northeast Missouri and west central Illinois. Specifics for KSTL: Ceilings took a little bump up last hour, so am going on the premise that drier air filtering in from the north will keep ceilings above 1000 FT for the rest of the night. That being said, can`t rule out a drop back to IFR later this evening or overnight. Ceilings should rise to between 2000-3000FT on Sunday afternoon ahead of the next wave of rain which will affect the terminal late Sunday night into Monday.

Runner. Author. Travelista. Dreamer.
I hated running. Throughout my childhood years, it was a form of punishment. I didn't understand those "crazy runners" who could run for miles and miles. It wasn't fun to me whatsoever.
Around four years ago, I was dealing with a stressful time in my life. Many told me to give running another try. This time, something clicked. I signed up for a 10K, slowly working up my mileage. After crossing that finish line, I knew I had truly become a runner.
Since then, I have completed multiple 5K, 10K, half marathon, 25K and marathon races. I love to run local races in my home state of Michigan, yet I also enjoy the magic of runDisney events. I adore the running community and enjoy sharing my passion for running with others, encouraging everyone on their running journey, while still working on my own.
A planner at heart, I enjoy traveling with my husband, experiencing the beauty and luxury of America first hand. While we do visit Disney destinations each year, I have a goal of visiting every state and experiencing all they have to offer. With an interest in photography, I try to find ways to capture each memory to cherish forever.
I also am co-author of a book that combines two of my passions, running and Disney! Magical Miles: The Runner's Guide to Walt Disney World is a tour book that guides families through all aspects of a runDisney event, including registration, resorts, restaurants, the races, recovery, park touring and more. Now in its third edition, it is a great resource for beginner and veteran runDisney runners.
Running Toward The Prize may be over, but you can still keep in touch on Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest! Feel free to email me at anytime at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. -Philippians 3:14

Respond to Review of Canadu
by gitika
Review: Having lived in Spain a few years and very rarely going out to eat as there is hardly anywhere that does vegan food, I never expect much anymore. But decided to give Canudu a try. We went on a Saturday night which was fairly busy but managed to get a table inside. The food was good, waiters attentive and the piano player was unobtrusive. All in all quite a nice experience.
