Here I go, here I go, here I go again
Girls, what's my weakness, men
Ok then, chilling, chilling, minding my business
Yo Salt, I looked around and I couldn't believe this
I swear, I stared, my niece my witness
The brother had it going on with something kinda uh
Wicked, wicked, had to kick it
I'm not shy so I asked for the digits
A ho, no that don't make me
See what I want slip slide to it swiftly
Felt it in my hips so I dipped back to my bag of tricks
Then I flipped for a tip, make me wanna do tricks for him
Lick him like a lollipop should be licked
Came to my senses and I chilled for a bit
Don't know how you do the voodoo that you do
So well it's a spell, hell, makes me wanna shoop shoop shoop
Shoop shoop ba-doop
Shoop ba-doop
Shoop ba-doop ba-doop ba-doop
Shoop ba-doop
Shoop ba-doop
Shoop ba-doop ba-doop ba-doop
[Verse 2: Salt]
You're packed and you're stacked 'specially in the back
Brother, wanna thank your mother for a butt like that (thanks, Mom)
Can I get some fries with that shake-shake booty
If looks could kill you would be an Uzi
Or a shotgun - bang! What's up with that thang?
I wanna know, How does it hang?
Straight up, wait up, hold up, Mr. Lover
Like Prince said you're a sexy motha-
Well-a, I like 'em real wild, b-boy style by the mile
Smooth black skin with a smile
Bright as the sun, I wanna have some fun
Come and give me some of that yum-yum
Chocolate chip, honey dip, can I get a scoop?
Baby, take a ride in my coupe, you make me wanna
[Verse 3: Pepa]
Well let me bring you back to the subject, Pep's on the set
Make you get hot, make you work up a sweat

Not falling in love but I'm falling for your [super sperm]
When I get ya betcha bottom dollar you were best under pressure
[Yo, Sandy, I wanna like, taste you]
Getcha getcha lips wet cause it's time to have Pep
[Verse 4: Salt]
On your mark, get set, go, let me go, let me shoop
To the next man in the three-piece suit
I spend all my dough, ray me, cutie
Shoop shoop a-doobie like Scoobie Doobie Doo
I love you in your big jeans, you give me nice dreams
You make me wanna scream, ooo, oooo, oooo
I like what you do when you do what you do
You make me wanna shoop
[Big 'Twan]
S and the P wanna get with me, cool (uh-huh)
But I'm wicked, G, (yeah) hit skins but never quickly (that's right)
I hit the skins for the hell of it, just for the yell I get
Mmm mmm mmm, for the smell of it
They want my bod, here's the hot rod (hot rod)
Twelve inches to a yard and have you sounding like a retard (yeah)
Big 'Twan Love-Her, six-two, wanna hit you
So what you wanna do?
What you wanna do?
Mmmm, I wanna shoop
Oh, you make me wanna shoop
Hey yeah, I wanna shoop, baby
"Shoop" peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped Billboard's Hot Rap Singles chart. It also peaked at #3 on Billboard's R&B chart.
The song samples The Sweet Inspirations' song "I'm Blue."

Aspiring young gymnasts will relate to McKenna's ambitious dreams of becoming an Olympic star. Even non-gymnists will find common ground with her school problems and need for a tutor and the rivalry that grows when her childhood friend becomes jealous of McKenna's new friendship with her tutor. Though the music is somewhat intrusive and the situations a bit predictable, this is like the old after school specials with lots of good messages and events that echo kid's own experiences. McKenna's tutor is wheelchair bound and though she is older and wiser, McKenna learns a lot about friendship and supporting someone else's needs as the story develops. It also delivers a serious message that needing the help of others is noto something to be ashamed of at any age. This is a film for school aged kids, not preschoolers. I hr. 35 min.

Registered Dietitian Deborah Richter Responds:
Having a healthy baby and maintaining good health during pregnancy are the goals of all expectant mothers, but knowing what to eat and how much to eat is often a question once the positive pregnancy test is confirmed.
Foods to EatStart with consuming a wide variety of food from all the food groups. Select whole grains and cereals fortified with iron. Take the prenatal vitamin as prescribed.
Have at least 1 serving per day of each of the following:
A fruit or vegetable high in vitamin C
Good choices include:
- Oranges
- Orange juice
- 100% fruit juice that is fortified
- Most melons
- Green leafy vegetables
- Red of green peppers
Good choices include:
- Dark green leafy vegetables (i.e. spinach and turnip greens, asparagus, broccoli)
- Dried beans, peas and lentils
- Citrus fruits and juices (i.e. melon)
- Most berries
Good choices include:
- Dark green leafy vegetables
- Orange vegetables and fruits
- Tomatoes and tomato products
Good choices include:
- Whole grain cereals and bread products
- Fruits and vegetables
- Cooked dried beans and peas
Foods to AvoidBeverages
- Alcohol
- Excessive caffeine
- Some types of herbal tea
- Raw or unpasteurized milk
- Cheese and dairy products made with raw or unpasteurized milk
- Raw or uncooked eggs
- Raw or uncooked meats, fish, or poultry
- Shark, swordfish, King mackerel, or tilefish (due to higher mercury levels)
- Limit all other fish (including tuna) to 12 oz. or less per week
- Hot dogs, luncheon meats, bologna or other deli meats unless they are heated until steaming hot
- Tobacco and second hand smoke
- Herbal remedies or supplements
- Vitamin/mineral supplements other than those recommended or prescribed by your doctor, nurse practitioner of midwife
Weight GoalsThe goal for adequate weight gain is to achieve an optimal birth weight for the baby and a healthy, well-nourished mother.
Expected pregnancy weight gain is determined by the pre-pregnancy weight status.
- If your BMI (body mass index) is less than 18.5, the pregnancy weight gain goal is 28 pounds.
- If your BMI is within 18.5 to 25, the expected weight gain guideline is 25 pounds.
- If your BMI is over 25, the desired weight gain is approximately 15 pounds.
Remember that each woman should follow the weight gain goals determined by their doctor, nurse practitioner or midwife.
Morning SicknessTo avoid morning sickness, it is recommended to avoid strong odors in foods, perfumes, laundry detergent, shampoos, soap, chemicals and pets.
Get adequate fluids, often taking smaller sips of cool liquids, eating small more frequent meals, and often dry foods like crackers or toast are better tolerated than soft breads. Some woman find that consuming a small amount of ginger may help to decrease the nausea and vomiting.
Remember to plan ahead and prepare to breastfeed this new baby. It is beneficial for both of you.

"The rain is coming, the rain is coming!"
By Monday afternoon, it was echoing across Facebook, Twitter, and my cell phone. The message pushed passed the cold washcloth soothing my migraine to bring a smile.
The rain is coming. On the 4th of July. For the world's largest 10k. Why the smile? I love running in the rain. There's nothing like a downpour to turn a rolling party into an all-out rain dance. (I'm talking summer rain here, not freezing winter rain, which is less enjoyable.)
COMPLETE COVERAGE | 2013 AJC Peachtree Road Race
While you can learn to love running in the rain, the logistics for the organizers, volunteers, and media are a nightmare. So, I'm still hoping the 70% chance might fade by Thursday. If not, here's your guide to singing in the rain ... er, I mean running in the rain.
You can only get so wet
Stop trying to stay dry, it's pointless. Just swing your arms around and dance in the rain.
Avoid cotton like the devil
"Cotton is rotten," one coach used to tell me. And that's on a dry day. In the rain, your cotton clothing will collect water, getting heavier and heavier, until it stretches out. Cotton socks will feel like sponges, rubbing against your soaked to skin. Avoid cotton.
Baby your feet
Put Body Glide or Vaseline ALL OVER your feet before you put on quick-drying socks like SmartWool. See that picture above? That's what I did for the Sweetwater 50K. After crossing water up to my waist once, and several smaller creeks along the 9 hour run, I never got a blister. Not one. Trust me on this one, blisters will make your run miserable and set back your training by several days.
Bring a garbage bag
Running while wet is OK; sitting around in it is kind of lame. So, bring a garbage bag. You can wear it while you wait for your corral. Then, toss it when you're done.
Try to bring dry clothes
This might be hard for the Peachtree, but try to have a pair of dry clothes back in your car or waiting with friends and family. Wet clothes get a lot worse if you have to sit around in them. Don't forget dry underwear and socks!
Pay attention to course flags
We look so happy in that Team in Training picture (I'm the one in the back left with a glowing hat-- reflectors work!). This was hours before the months of training were swept away by tornado warnings in the Nashville area. I only made it 21 miles that day. It was a wake up call on how difficult it is to gather information while you're running a course.
Like all major races, the Peachtree has adopted the flag system: green, yellow, red, black. If there is lightning in the area, they could postpone or call of the race. It's unlikely this will happen, but be aware of those signs on Thursday morning.
One of the texts I received was from a co-worker, basically wondering how many people would opt NOT to run. Not run? For a few inches of rain? No one! I said. I've run races with tornadoes lurking, ice-covered water stops, heat waves and snow storms. Come on, we're runners. Not wimps! Run on, soggy runner, run on!
Look for Julie on the race course Thursday. She and Doug Richards will be running with live equipment to provide the "RunnerCam" for the live race coverage.

Social Distortion Concert Tickets
SoCal punk rockers Social Distortion have been to hell and back and lived to tell the tale. After surviving singer/guitarist Mike Ness' criminal and drug problems and the emotional fallout from the loss of founding guitarist Dennis Dannell, Social Distortion has rocked on through three decades of personnel and label changes and hiatuses to release seven studio albums and influence a whole new generation of punk rockers.
After their most recent seven-year break from recording, the band is back and fans are eagerly lining up for Social Distortion tickets. With the release of Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes in January 2011, the band have been playing shows with the same fierce energy that fans have come to know and love.
Never short on imagination, the band premiered a short noir-gangster film for their single Machine Gun Blues where they dressed in 1930s period garb and streamed a live show from the red carpet gala that accompanied it.

|Inauguration thoughts shared
|Written by Eufracia Secrist
Dear Editor,
I sat drinking a cup of coffee and listening to the inauguration celebration as we Americans welcomed our 44th president and commander in chief, Barack Obama, which will be recorded as a great day in history.
I hope and pray he will be strong, will honor the sacred oath and do the best he can as president for all Americans and the welfare of all our citizens and protection of our great United States of America. For we are God's children and all created equal. We should love our neighbors as ourselves and pray for enemies out of love for Christ.
We are laborers, and with God to guide us through difficult times, someday there will be peace all over the world. We are Americans of our great United States.
I could not attend this great day in history, but I felt like I was there. The speeches all seemed positive as promises were made to Americans all over the world.
Our president holds a great position in the world and will bear a heavy burden on his shoulders as our commander in chief of all armed forces, and also other duties of respective offices, departments, etc.
It will be a very hard and demanding job for our new president as it was for our former president, who did the best he could, even through criticism, demoralizing, offensive and nonsensical times. He never gave up. He served the best he could as president of our United States.
I wish the best for our new president as he obtains duties as commander in chief and burdens as president of our United States of America. Also, good luck and farewell to our former president. As he departs, he will never be forgotten.
God bless our great United States of America. We live in a wonderful country. God protect all our armed forces who sacrifice their lives for all of us.
I am sincerely yours, a proud citizen of our U.S.A.,
Eufracia Secrist

Wheeler, Dreyer place 6th, Hendricks 8th in state wrestling
DES MOINES - Nikko Wheeler and Reed Dreyer came away with sixth-place medals while Dylan Hendricks placed eighth in Saturday's consolation finals of the Class 2A State Wrestling Tournament at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines. All three are juniors for the Wildcats, who sent five wrestlers down to state two days earlier.
Wheeler lost two matches on Saturday at 182 pounds. He lost by fall in 3:51 to Jay Reisetter of East Marshall, then lost a fifth-place bout to Colton Spauer of Knoxville by fall in 2:44. Dreyer lost a pair of matches at 195 pounds on Saturday as well, falling 4-3 on a late reversal by Ballard's Alex Macki, then a 9-7 overtime decision to Lance Evans of Solon. Hendricks, at 285 pounds, wrestled once on Saturday, falling 3-1 to Mario Pena of Hampton-Dumont.
Wheeler's bid for a state championship came up short Friday night (Feb. 15) in the 182-pound semifinal round of the state tournament. Wheeler was pinned by Mediapolis' Steven Holloway in 2:41. The loss dropped Wheeler, 40-10, into the consolation finals on Saturday morning.
Dreyer (195) and Hendricks (285) also kept their medal hopes alive Friday night. Dreyer pinned Sioux City Heelan's Christian Brobst in 1:35 to avenge losses to Brobst in both the sectional and district finals earlier in the month.
Hendricks lost a 3-1 decision to Austin Aschenbacher of Decorah in the Friday night consolation round.
Wheeler moved into the semifinals by winning his Friday afternoon quarterfinal round match with Cole Bonde of Bedford/Lenox, posting a 10-2 major decision.
Dreyer (195) and Hendricks (285) guaranteed themselves a medal by winning their consolation matches Friday afternoon. Dreyer earned a 3-0 decision over Jake Feldspauch of Central DeWitt while Hendricks pinned Charles City senior Dalton Hamm in 2:41.
Nikko Wheeler won his first round match at 182 pounds and Reed Dreyer (195) and Dylan Hendricks (285) are alive in the consolation round to lead Humboldt's five-man contingent after the first day of the Class 2A State Wrestling Championships in Des Moines Thursday night (Feb. 14).
Wheeler advanced on the winner's side of the bracket by disposing of Carlisle senior Nathan Stickley with a 22-4 technical fall victory in the first round. Wheeler, 39-9 on the season, will wrestle in the quarterfinal round at 3:30 p.m. on Friday against Bedford/Lenox senior Cole Bonde.
Dreyer suffered a first round loss to Lance Evans of Solon, 6-2, but kept his season alive by dominating Harlan's Cale Stork in the consolation wrestle back, pinning Stork in 2:41. Dreyer (35-5) will wrestle in the consolation round Friday afternoon.
Hendricks, one of four Wildcat juniors in the state meet, opened with a 6-0 loss to Manchester West Delaware senior Dean Broghammer (44-0) at 285 pounds. Hendricks came back in strong fashion, however, winning 4-0 over Zach Davis of Albia. Hendricks will also wrestle Friday late afternoon in the second round consolation.
The season came to an end for two Wildcats in senior Kylie Zender at 113 pounds and junior 138-pounder Thaylan Bowman. Zender suffered a 7-0 loss to Washington junior Fletcher Green in the first round. Zender then lost a hard-fought, 3-1 decision to Louis Gnida of Solon. Zender ends the year with a 36-11 record and a career won-loss mark of 97-32.
Bowman opened the tournament by facing Creston's No. 1 ranked and defending three-time state champion Jake Marlin and lost by fall in 37 seconds. In the consolation wrestleback, Bowman was pinned by Mediapolis junior Drew Foster in 3:05. Foster, ranked No. 3, was upset in the first round. Bowman's record is 19-16.

Hi folks,
I need to disable sending and receiving e-mail from our Zimbra installation :-( The college I work for has merged with another and for the time being we want to allow staff 'read only' access to the 'old' Zimbra installation. That is they can read their old e-mails but not send or receive any new mail.
Understandably the documentation doesn't help me much with this so I'd appreciate any assistance.

Hill carried the ball 17 times, while quarterback Zack Mettenberger finished
12-of-25 for 148 yards and an interception for the Tigers (6-1, 2-1 SEC), who
extended their home winning streak to 22 games, which is the longest in the
South Carolina quarterback Connor Shaw passed for 177 yards, two touchdowns
and two interceptions on 19-of-34 efficiency, as the Gamecocks (6-1, 4-1) saw
their school-record 10-game winning streak come to an end.

From WSIS to Rio+20: The role of ICTs to promote sustainable development and the green economy transition
18 May 2011 - 18 May 2011As the preparatory process for the Rio+20 conference progresses, the global community has been called to provide inputs to facilitate discussions and, particularly, to promote synergies between existing processes and mechanisms from the international community, such as the WSIS process. A prominent example of the contribution that WSIS can make to Rio+20 is the progress achieved in the implementation of Action Line C7 (AL C7), e-environment. The goals for this action line, as defined in the Geneva Plan of Action, are as follows:
Geneva, Switzerland
Geneva, Switzerland
a) Use and promote ICTs as an instrument for environmental protection and the sustainable use of natural resources;
b) Initiate actions and implement projects and programs for sustainable production and consumption and the environmentally safe disposal and recycling of discarded hardware and components used in ICTs;
c) Establish monitoring systems, using ICTs, to forecast and monitor the impact of natural and man-made disasters, particularly in developing countries, LDCs and small economies.
The facilitation meeting for AL C7, e-environment will be an interactive debate among key stakeholders involved in the implementation of this action line along with experts from the sustainability community and the Rio+20 process. The guiding principle of the discussion will be to identify how ICTs can help to move forward the sustainability agenda, allowing developing countries to leapfrog to a low-carbon development model.
This event is part of the ?e-Environment day at WSIS Forum 2011?. More information available at: www.wsis.org/forum/environment. More Information

There are many great reasons to attend Pulse 2010- you can see real-world demonstrations of the newest service management solutions, you can hear about strategies and product roadmaps that can help you chart your roadmap for success, and you can get free-certifications and hands-on instruction in on-site labs. These are all great reasons to attend Pulse 2010, but I would like to focus one that often gets overlooked--networking with people not like you.
Pulse gives you the opportunity to attend tracks tailored to your specific area of focus and network with people doing work like you do. While there is a great deal of value in networking and sharing ideas with people whose roles are similar to yours, there may be even more value in talking with people who don't do what you do.
What would happen if CEOs, service providers, IT professionals, plant managers, facilities managers, VPs of Operations, security administrators, and storage managers talked with each other? What kinds of solutions and ideas would emerge?
For true innovative thinking to occur, reframing challenges and understanding different points of view is key. While it's easier to stay in your comfort zone and talk with people who speak your language, the opportunity to talk with people from other industries or from your industry but with roles different than yours may be one of the one of the best ways to gain new insights, reframe the challenges you are facing, and think outside the box.
Pulse 2010 gives you the opportunity to do just that. It offers you the chance to network with industry leaders and a broad audience of users and partners who may have different takes on service management—ones that can help you solve existing problems more efficiently, develop new services, or find new ways to accelerate growth and gain competitive edge.

ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) - The Montgomery County Board of Education has approved a budget that includes $18.6 million for employee raises, but that could set up a possible battle with the County Council.
Superintendent Joshua Starr's budget request included money for raises ahead of the board's budget meeting last week. Starr says he made a responsible request that reflects the community's values.
Starr says the budget figures are tentative because the school system continues to negotiate with its employee groups.
The school system's funding request is about $10 million more than the minimum that Montgomery must legally spend on education.
County and school officials have been at odds in recent years over how much to spend on education. The school board's $2.23 billion request is an increase of 2.6 percent over this year.

Woah, Paint!!!
That reminds me to the graphic program I had on my Atari ST F back in the 90s. Drawing pixel for pixel. Only black and white (because I had that black and white monitor). With a mouse as big as a today's hard disk.
I like that map. It's very clear. And it has the rough charm of early computer adventures.
Perhaps the coastline could be double thick to get it visually different to the streets.

1970 Chevy Chevelle - Cheap Street Chevelle: RollbarWritten by on April 29, 2004 How To Install A Six-Point Rollbar At Home
Once again, ask and you shall receive. This month we show you how to install a six-point rollbar from S&W Race Cars along with upgrading the Chevelle with SFI-approved seatbelts from JAZ Products.
To ensure that we installed our S&W rollbar correctly, we turned to M&J Auto Body for guidance. The M&J crew transformed our Chevelle from junker to jewel in last year's Paint & Body special, so we knew that they were good fabricators.
Available directly from S&W Race Cars, we ordered a complete rollbar setup (part No. 11-003) made especially for our '70 Chevelle. The kit includes a main hoop, rear braces, side bars, seat crossmember and six steel mounting plates. The bars are made of 1.75x0.134-inch-wall mild-steel tubing and feature notched tube ends (where applicable).
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Begin the rollbar install by prefitting the main loop and the side bars to ensure that everything is correct for your chassis. The bar(s) will need to be trimmed slightly, but the parts are generally ready to go. In fact, the end of the side-bar tubes and the crossmember that join to the main loop have already been "fish mouth" radius-cut, thus easing installation. After we trial-fit the rollbar, we removed the carpet, front bench seat and the headliner to gain clearance for the rollbar install. Ripping out the nasty old carpet and headliner was needed anyway because our Chevelle is going to get a new low-buck interior kit in the next few issues. Stay tuned.With the carpet removed, begin the rollbar install by grinding the floor to bare metal in the area where the loop will be welded to the floor (just behind the front seat but ahead of the rear seat). The area must be free from paint and gunk so that the steel mounting plates can be installed with a good, clean weld.Because the mounting location of the mounting plates is in a contoured area of the floorboard, you'll need to bend/sculpt the mounting plates to conform to the floorboard shape. We marked where the plate needed to be bent and then removed the plate from the car to make the proper modifications.After you've properly contoured the two mounting plates for the main rollbar loop, tack-weld them into position. Do not weld them fully into place yet, just in case some minor adjustments need to be made. With the plates tack-welded in position, carefully mark the angle of cut needed to get the main rollbar loop to sit flush on the plate(s).After making the proper trim marks, remove the main rollbar loop from the car and make the necessary angled cuts. Because the tubing is made of mild steel, you can make the cuts with a hacksaw, but it will take plenty of arm effort. We used a high-speed radial cut-off wheel to make all of our tubing cuts, which made the installation process much easier.Once the ends of the main rollbar loop have been angle-cut, refit the loop to make sure that the ends sit flush with the mounting plates. Next, fully weld in the mounting plates and then weld in the rollbar loop.With the rollbar loop welded in place, position the rollbar crossmember at shoulder height. If you add a four- or five-point seatbelt harness (as we are doing), the crossmember is the point at which you'll need to attach the shoulder-harness part of the restraint system.Once the crossmember is in the proper location, have a buddy hold the bar while you weld it in place. Notice the Speedglas welding helmet--it's the trickest thing we've seen in a long time. The helmet has a special viewing screen that is unshaded when you are not welding, such as when positioning your welding work. Then, the instant that you strike the weld, the viewing screen turns to its predetermined shade (number 11 shade in our case). As soon as you stop welding, the viewing screen instantly returns to its unshaded clear-view screen.After the main hoop is welded in place, trial-fit the side bars. Notice how the end of the side bar that attaches to the main rollbar loop is "fish mouth" cut to allow it to conform around the main rollbar loop. The other end of the side bar will need to be angle-cut to properly align with the front-mounted steel mounting plates.
Just as with the main rollbar loop, the side bars need to be welded to steel mounting plates. For our application, the two front mounting plates (one for each side of the car) only needed slight bending to conform with the contour of the Chevelle's floorboard. After you've mocked-up the side bars and determined the proper location of the front mounting plates, weld the plates into place.After the side bars have been mocked up, angle-trimmed to length and the front mounting plates welded into place, carefully weld the fish-mouthed end of the side bar to the main rollbar loop. Notice the thick piece of metal located behind the rollbar loop. The metal plate prevents burning the doorjamb paint, weather stripping and/or door panels while you weld. Remember as you weld that dozens of hot metal sparks will be flying off, so carefully cover anything that you don't want burned or singed.Once the top end of the side bar has been welded to the rollbar loop, carefully weld the bottom end to the front mounting plate. Notice how the end of the side bar fits flush with the mounting plate. The better the pieces fit together, the stronger (and better looking) the rollbar assembly will be.For our six-point rollbar, two support tubes travel rearward (through the rear package tray) into the trunk. Just as with the front tubes, heavy-duty steel mounting plates need to be installed. On the passenger's-side trunk bar, we ran into bit of a snag. The O.E.M. spare-tire hold-down brackets were right where the mounting plate needed to go. But, not to worry--ace rollcage-installer Mark Gallimore contoured the plate to go around the stock brackets. Be sure to grind the trunk pan smooth (to remove paint and gunk) to ensure a good weld job.Just as with the other end of the trunk-mount support bar, the end that attaches to the main rollbar needs to be marked and contoured to fit. In our case, we found the end didn't need to be given the full fish-mouth treatment, it just needed to be arched a bit.After the trunk-mounted mounting plate is welded into position, carefully mark the angle in which the trunk-bar tube needs to be cut. To draw a straight line across the end of the tube, Mark Gallimore uses the end of a ruler to serve as a straightedge when marking.As bad luck would have it, the trunk-mounted support bars didn't go through the O.E.M. rear-speaker holes in the package tray. Thus, we had to cut a small section out of the package tray to provide clearance for each bar to pass through. Notice the cardboard box taped to the back window to prevent any glass-breaking antics from metal chips flying off of the cut-off wheel.After the ends of the trunk-mounted support tube have been cut as needed, be sure to double-check to ensure that the bar fits properly. If it does, begin to weld the bar into place. With all of the welding going on in such close proximity of the roof, you now know why we removed the headliner. Heck, our headliner was complete junk and in need of replacing anyway, so no love lost there.After the fish-mouthed end of the trunk-mounted support tube has been welded to the main rollbar loop, carefully weld in the other end of the tube to the mounting plate located in the trunk. Our NOS nitrous bottle was close to where we would be welding, thus, to avoid any unwanted explosions, we removed it before welding the tube into place.
We wanted to replace our O.E.M. gut-ripper seatbelts with a JAZ SFI-approved four-point restraint system. The two JAZ lap belts bolt to the floor using the stock floor-mounted seatbelt bolt holes. However, to mount the shoulder harness portion of the restraint system we needed to weld on these special tabs (shown). JAZ Products has a variety of different tab sizes/styles, or you can hand-fabricate tabs if you so desire.To comply with NHRA and IHRA (among other racing organizations) rules, all safety equipment must meet SFI-approval. Moreover, to ensure that the safety equipment is regularly checked and/or replaced, there is a code system that indicates when the part was made. In general, SFI-approved items are good (legal) for two years from the date of manufacture.Check it out. Here is project Cheap Street Chevelle (complete with crazed CC test-driver Kiewicz) fitted with the new S&W Race Cars' six-point rollbar assembly and JAZ Products' four-point restraint system. Even though the rollbar adds about a little weight pounds to the Chevelle, chances are the car will run the same or quicker e.t.'s at the dragstrip because the chassis won't flex as much and the car will hook up better. Plus, in the event that a CC staffer gets too brave at "sawing at the wheel" and throws the Chevelle into a guardrail, the rollbar assembly and belts will provide outstanding protection.

The Earles of MartinsvilleWritten by on March 1, 2000 Contributors: Courtesy of Martinsville Speedway A tribute to one of NASCAR's true pioneers
Dust Bowl
The first race at Martinsville, held September 7, 1947, remains the most embarrassing day of my life. Only 750 of a proposed 5,000 seats were completed, and there were no fences. However, paid attendance was 6,013 for the Modified Stock car event, and police estimated that another 3,000 watched for free.
The people didn't know what to expect, and I didn't either. I knew that dust would be a problem, so the dirt surface was treated with 20,000 gallons of oil, calcium chloride, and water. That didn't seem to help. Fifteen minutes into the race, the place was enveloped in a cloud of dust that looked like fallout from a nuclear explosion. I'm sure it was seen for miles.
A lot of fans came straight to the track from church, dressed in their Sunday best, and got covered in red dust. Some of the women wearing high-heel shoes sank to their ankles in fill dirt that was around the track and stands. Most of them left barefooted, carrying their shoes.
It seemed for a month after the race that every time I took a bath, the water turned red. But I really felt sorry for the fans and still regret what happened.
Paving the Way
I run into people today that tell me they saw my first race. And yes, they say they haven't been back. I guess they think the track's still dirt.
Well, apparently only about half of those who paid to see the first race came back for the next seven years. No matter what we did, we couldn't settle the dust completely. Attendance had averaged only 3,000 and, having operated in the red, by 1954 we faced a financial crisis. I bought out my original partners and sold NASCAR founder "Big Bill" France an interest.
Martinsville is a charter member of NASCAR and of what is now the Winston Cup division. I called and told Big Bill that if we were going to remain in business, we needed to pave the track for the sake of the spectators.
He laughed and asked if paving wouldn't ruin the track, because most of them were dirt then. I told him if we didn't, we would be ruined. Reluctantly, he agreed.
It was a big gamble that paid off handsomely. Attendance shot up to 12,000--then a record.
Real Pro
I was a gambler back then. I'm ashamed to admit now that I was a poker shark. I could beat just about anybody. I wouldn't play a game now for a thousand dollars.
In the early '40s, I ran a service station near Martinsville. Across the road was an inn, run by a Greek friend. One day he called and said a fellow had heard about my poker game and wanted to play me. He said he wanted to tell me that the man's cards were marked. I said that was fine, I'd spot his mark as soon as he put his cards on the table.
We set up a game and I saw his mark, the only deck I've ever seen marked down to the seven. In the first hand, I saw that he had something smaller than a seven in the hole and a deuce up. I had a trey (three) in the hole and was high with a jack. I bet, he raised, and that went on. I knew he had a pair of deuces, and nobody would raise with a hand like that. I dealt. He got a queen, I got a trey. Finally, he bet $600--all the money he had. I took it with three treys over his pair of deuces. He said in Greek that "the SOB broke me." I understood because I had picked up some of the language from the friend who owned the inn, but it didn't make me mad. A few days later, he returned with another $600, and I broke him again. The moral is, it doesn't pay to cheat. Those winnings, and others, went into the speedway.
500 Magic
I had another idea that seemed ridiculous at the time: a 500-lap Grand National (now Winston Cup) race at the speedway. The number 500 had a special significance with fans because of the Indianapolis 500 and the Southern 500 at Darlington.
I figured that on a half-mile track, the spectators could see all the action, and after adding a concrete retaining wall for greater safety, the speedway could accommodate a race of that length. I also felt the cars could go the distance.
I called Bill France and told him I'd like to run a 500-lapper in the spring of 1956. That's unheard of, he says. Well, it won't be after we do it, I say.
A crowd of 15,000, another track record, jammed the speedway for the first Martinsville Annual 500. Buck Baker won in a Dodge. The 42nd Goody's Headache Powder 500, run on April 20 this year, marked the 83rd 500-lapper held at the speedway. At this race, all 71,000 reserved seats--an increase of 70,250 in 50 years--were sold, and we anticipate similar success for the Hanes 500 on September 28th. I reckon it was a pretty good idea after all.
Concrete racing surfaces are not unusual now, but they were rare in the mid-'70s.
We had repaved the track's surface three times in two years because the combination of soft tires and tight turns tore up the asphalt. In 1976, much to the horror of the racing fraternity, concrete was laid on both ends of the speedway.
Before the drivers unloaded their cars for the fall race, they were telling the media that I had ruined the track, and there was no way they could race on it. The only person who had agreed with me was Leo Mehl, Goodyear's head of racing at the time.
Darrell Waltrip set a new qualifying record that silenced the drivers. When a doubleheader was run the next month, Geoff Bodine set a track record for Modifieds, and L.D. Ottinger smashed the Late Model Sportsman mark, along with 22 other cars.
The concrete is still there.
Bill France and I resisted a radio broadcast of the early races. We were afraid it would hurt attendance. In 1952, though, we relented at Martinsville. I think Darlington beat us by about three weeks, but we had a bigger network. They had five stations; we had seven.
Race announcer Hal Hamrick made a makeshift table and chair out of Pepsi-Cola crates and did our first broadcast from atop a concession stand.
Promoters greeted the arrival of television with similar skepticism--how wrong we were. Radio and TV have contributed mightily to the growth of our sport.
As you know, Martinsville's Winston Cup races are televised live by ESPN and broadcast by Motor Racing Network (MRN).
Speaking of the sport's unprecedented growth reminds me of the speedway's humble beginning. I had gotten discharged from the Navy in 1945 after serving two years. The next year, I went with two friends to some little races at a small track in Winston-Salem (North Carolina), now Bowman Gray Stadium. They ran stock cars right off the street.
I told the guys I liked it and that it would make a nice hobby, and maybe down the road, a fellow could make some money off of it. I could see the potential even then. So we decided to build the track. Each of us put up $10,000, and I bought 35 acres. The cost grew to $20,000 apiece--a major risk at that time. The rest, of course, is history.
Of the hundreds of races I've promoted, it would be hard to pick the best, but the greatest finish at the speedway--maybe anywhere--is no contest: In a Modified race (the '81 Dogwood 500 Classic), (the late) Richie Evans and Geoff Bodine came off Turn 4 side by side on the final lap. They got together, and Richie's car climbed the retaining wall so high that you could read his top number from the infield. Richie never let off. When the cars hit, the impact knocked off Evans' right-front wheel, and his car bounced across the finish line to victory while Bodine slid across the line sideways and crashed into the inside pit wall.
The Third-Place guy (John Blewett Jr.) avoided the mess and would have won if Evans hadn't kept his foot on the gas. Naturally, tempers ran hot. I got every police officer I could find and took them to the pits. I just knew we were going to have a riot.
We took both drivers--separately--to the press box and put one in each end for interviews. They eventually got over it, but it was wild at the time.
The weirdest race we've run was the fall Winston Cup event in 1970--when the so-called independents, those with little or no backing, parked their cars. We put up $10,000 for qualifying, an amount unheard of at the time. The independents figured the factory-backed drivers would win all the money and decided to protest by dropping out of the race early. At the drivers meeting, I asked them not to do it, that they would hurt themselves more than me, but they went ahead anyway.
After 50 laps, only 13 cars were running, and I feared we were headed for a disaster. But it turned out to be one of the most competitive and exciting races we'd had. Richard Petty won. When the media interviewed me, I told them it was a better race with all the strokers off the track, and that I might just start thinking about limiting the field to 10 cars. Nothing like that has happened since.
In that regard, I've always believed in paying a man fairly. We used to make deals, maybe $100 or $150, with car owners--especially the independents--to run our races. I'd also give those who had a particularly bad day a little extra after the races. But I could be bullheaded if someone tried to take advantage of my generosity. One time, a driver brought four or five others with him to me after an event. Serving as the spokesman, he sort of demanded that I give all of them some money. I told him to load his box and never come back. If they had come to me individually, I'd have given them something. We've always been a leader in purses at Martinsville, at one time paying more than some superspeedways, and they would have been bigger if we had counted the deal money. The purse for our first race in 1947 was $2,000; for the spring Winston Cup race this year, $1.241 million.
I wish that Big Bill France (who died at the age of 82 on June 7, 1992 of complications from Alzheimer's) was still around to see how far his dream has come. When I met him in 1947, he had in mind to form an organization that would protect the promoters, fans, and competitors. The result was NASCAR, the world's greatest sanctioning body.
Bill was much more than my partner at Martinsville--he was a dear friend. We had a unique relationship. We were both stubborn and headstrong. I don't guess any two partners ever fought each other more, or helped each other more, than we did. We were strong-willed and had our own ideas. When the chips were down, though, we were there, side by side.
I remember once (the early '60s), when I was a field representative for NASCAR, Bill asked to me to serve a suspension notice on Curtis Turner, one of the best and most colorful drivers, for leading an effort to form the drivers into a union. It was a risky and unpleasant experience. I liked Turner and the others involved, but what they were doing wasn't good for racing. And nobody hated unions more than France. I attended most of the races during that time, and as strange as it may seem today, I went fully dressed. That is, I packed not one but two guns. Those were wild days; after every race, it was rare if there wasn't a fight in the pits.
A few years later, after Turner had been reinstated in NASCAR and had retired, I ran into him in Roanoke, Virginia. That was shortly after the first race at Talladega had been boycotted by drivers who had organized into the Professional Drivers Association (PDA). France ran the race and busted the PDA.
Turner had broken his leg and was wearing a cast. He told me that if France had needed him, he would have cut off the cast, gone to Talladega, and driven for him. Even through rough times, Bill inspired that kind of loyalty.
Through the years, I've had a few people ask about buying Martinsville Speedway. I figured most just wanted to know how much (money) I had in it. Then a year ago, Bruton Smith came to me and asked if anybody had tried to buy the track. I told him not recently, that it wasn't for sale. He offered me $25 million. I told him he was toad-low. He upped it to $30 million and I repeated that he was toad-low. That was the end of it. I feel this way: After I got in with the Frances, I tried to help NASCAR, and I feel that selling the track would hurt NASCAR. There's no way I'll do anything to hurt the organization. And I don't believe NASCAR will do anything to hurt me, such as taking a Winston Cup date away. So I don't want to sell the speedway at any price. It's my life, and as long as I'm alive and of sound mind, I don't intend to part with it without a fight.

The best buys for your shopping list continued: The meat, fish and deli counters
Why is meat an important part of your diet? Meat, dairy products, nuts and certain grains and beans give our bodies protein. Protein is needed to build and maintain bones, muscles and skin.
One needs to eat protein every day because your body does not store it as your body stores fat or carbohydrate. There are all kinds of sources to receive the recommended daily allowance of protein. The average woman needs about 46 grams of protein a day and the average man needs about 56 grams of protein a day. A three-ounce portion of meat, about the size of a deck of cards, equals about 21 grams of protein.
Therefore, each gender probably will need to consume two to three servings of meat a day, depending on other protein sources they are taking in. These proteins are recommended to be "lean" proteins or proteins that do not have too much fat.
Here are some suggestions of what to buy to get the most nutritional "bang" for your buck.
For beef, choose eye, top and bottom round, sirloin, flank steak and 90-95 percent lean ground beef. You will get about 18 grams of protein per three-ounce serving and about six grams of fat.
Ribeye, porterhouse and T-bone steak, and 80 percent lean ground beef should be avoided because they have the highest fat-to-protein ratio. Three ounces of these meats pack 12-18 grams of fat.
Skinless chicken thighs and turkey legs are the best buys for poultry. Three ounces of thigh contains 18 grams of protein and three grams of fat, just one gram of fat more than breast meat. Turkey has the same protein-to-fat ratio as chicken thighs. Avoid ground turkey and enhanced chicken breast.
If the ground turkey includes the skin, it can have as much fat as ground beef. Three hundred milligrams of sodium is added when enhanced chicken is injected with saltwater to keep it moist.
In the pork section of your grocery store, choose pork tenderloin or boneless pork loin chops because, again, these cuts of meat contain three grams of fat and 18 grams of protein per three ounces of meat. Avoid pre-marinated cuts as they contain large amounts of sodium. Also, avoid pork blade chops because they have about 21 grams of fat per three ounces.
Rainbow trout, wild smoked salmon and mussels are great to eat two to three times a week. Rainbow trout is a less expensive choice to get heart-healthy, rich omega-3 fatty acids. Most U.S. rainbow trout is grown at inland farms using environmentally responsible production methods. Wild smoked salmon is another way to get inflammation-reducing omega-3s and brain-boosting vitamin B12. Farmed mussels have little toxin risk and are full of iron, vitamin B12 and selenium, an antioxidant.
Tilapia and sea scallops are good to eat two to three times a month. U.S. farmed tilapia is almost free of saturated fat and is protein-rich and inexpensive. However, this fish is somewhat high in omega-6 fats that promote inflammation in the body. Farmed bay scallops are the eco-wise option with abundant populations and a low risk of contamination.
From the "sliced and cured" section, turkey breast is almost fat-free and a good source of protein. A two-ounce serving of roast beef contains just three grams of fat, 110 calories and 19 grams of protein. Finally, one ounce of Canadian bacon contains about a third of calories of regular bacon and 11 fewer grams of fat.

We think differently about games. Instead of disconnected experiences that are difficult to assess, we empower the educator to teach in new ways. Technological innovations drive our research toward building a new platform for education. Instrumentation of the digital and analog worlds of educators, students, administrations, and institutions enables new kinds of longitudinal studies. We engage with the community and advocate within Microsoft to transform the education experience.
The way we think of games in learning needs to fundamentally change. Current ideas tend to focus on isolated silos, little experiments, "edutainment," and so on. For instance, someone may design a game that teaches mathematics by shooting down space invaders. There are many problems with this approach:
- It's difficult to prove there is any kind of knowledge transfer.
- It's a disconnected experience.
- It produces thousands of games across many domains that are hard to maintain, expensive to produce, and difficult to connect.
We can do better. The goal is not to replace the educator, but to empower them to teach in new ways.
Gaming is an innovation that requires a platform in order to succeed. We seek to create platforms for assessment, for identity, and for the gameful interactions we want to encourage. This allows researchers, educational application developers, and publishers to focus on what they do best—to create really great interactions and compelling content.
We want to allow the instrumentation of the digital and the analog worlds of educators, students, administrations, and institutions in order to enable new kinds of longitudinal studies for education. Educational outcomes can be analyzed. We can:
- Instrument and collect large amounts of data.
- Use software to search for patterns and correlations and present these to the researcher.
- Allow for new kinds of understanding.
Technological innovation is also important. For example, the use of Kinect in education is currently unproven, and we wish to explore this area. Preliminary experiments are already being conducted in universities and public schools.
Current Research
- Games for Learning Institute
- Unified Game Layer for Education (Just Press Play)
- One Mouse Per Child
- OMPC Video Games Project
The Future
We have the potential to transform education. The resulting platform which enables these experiences will likely be a substrate that many people won't even know exists. Efforts like the Unified Game Layer for Education are a step in this direction.

I connected my Android Incredible 2 to Zimbra about 2 months ago and when I did that it cleared my entire calendar from 2 weeks prior to the entire future. It cleared everything from what I had created to other events (meetings) that I was invited to.
I did not think it was the phone until I checked the General Setting under the Exchange ActiveSync account and found that the 'Sync events for past' was set to 2 weeks (exactly how far back my calendar events were deleted).
I thought it was a fluke and left it and re-entered for the most part all of my meetings / events. However now it has happened again after a cruise I went on, the phone lost sync for the 5 days I was gone and as soon as it synced up with the server all my meetings and events were cleared out. This time a month prior as I had changed the setting to 1 month rather than 2 weeks.
So now my entire calendar from 1 month prior has been cleared to all of the future. This is a HUGE HUGE problem as all of my Calendar events are now non-existent and I have no idea when any meetings are occurring.
Any help or ideas on how to debug why this is occurring would be very very appreciated. Thank you.

2016 UFC Schedule
Since the early 90's, the Ultimate Fighting Championship has dominated the market earning the title of the largest mixed martial arts promotion company in the world. The UFC was originally started by Art Davie, a prominent advertising executive, and Rorion Gracie, a noted master of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It took a while for the sport to get off the ground, but now sales of UFC tickets are more than boxing! The goal of the UFC was to find the "Ultimate Fighting Champion" through an innovative concept of producing tournaments with the best athletes. These skilled competitors would be trained in a vast array of disciplines spanning the spectrum of martial arts. The fighting styles include Karate, jiu-jitsu, boxing, kickboxing, grappling, wrestling, and sumo as well as other combat sports. The winner of the tournament would be crowned the champion of the world.
The early UFC tournaments ignored all traditional rules away and branded themselves as raw fighting. This proved to be a large selling point for many pay-per-view audiences. Nothing would be considered illegal; from hair pulling to head butts the combatants would endure it all in bloody conflicts. This resulted in the emergence of the UFC as a legitimate sporting event, dropping the "no holds barred" label, and carrying the banner of mixed martial arts. With more effective marketing, the UFC began to grow to new levels of popularity prompting charismatic and skillful stars such as Randy Couture and Tito Ortiz to emerge.
Popularity for the UFC has skyrocketed estimating the company to be worth over a billion dollars. One example of its dynamic allure to audiences was at UFC 129 which featured Georges St- Pierre vs Jake Shields at the Rogers Center in Toronto, Ontario. The event sold out 55,000 tickets for gate revenues exceeding 11 million dollars shattering previous MMA attendance and gate records in North America. Last year, on the eve of UFC 154, Dana White confirmed that the UFC will feature women's MMA with the signing of its first female fighter, a move that will surely change the landscape of MMA. Under the strong leadership of owners Lorenzo Fertitta, Frank Fertitta III and President Dana White, the UFC brand continues to thrive across a spectrum of live event sports and television production.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) story is a long and grinding one, but UFC tickets, War MMA ticketsand MMA tickets, in general are now a commonly sought item for fans of live events. This is teeth-smashing, knuckle-bruising action, make no mistake about it; your tickets to UFC will put you through an adrenalin trip like no other. Once classed as "no holds barred", UFC now describes itself as Mixed Martial Arts, usually shortened to MMA. This new tag lends an element of respectability and provides some gloss on the raw animal aggression that fuels the sport. But once those guys are in the cage and the fists and feet are flying, there's no rules and everyone's fired up. Buy MMA tickets now and see this violent and savage spectacle for yourself. You won't be disappointed! With fighting styles that encompass boxing, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Tae Kwon Do, Wrestling, Muay Thai, Karate and many more, there is plenty of hard-hitting action for everyone!
UFC began as quest to find the world's toughest fighters with little or no regard for formal discipline. Initially, UFC earned much criticism from politicians, and spent some time lurking in the ill-lit corridors of obscurity, banished from pay-per-view TV. UFC's governing body was smart enough to recognize that this could be a huge sport, though. They effectively reworked its limitations, creating more defined rules and leaning more towards known fighting disciplines. Hence, MMA was born and UFC tickets began to sell like never before. The final piece in the jigsaw was being reinstated to pay-per-view TV, which gave the sport a huge boost back not the public eye. The political stigma was removed and UFC tickets were now considered tickets to a legitimate fighting event. UFC President Dana White has cemented this sport's status as a mainstream fighting league that may be surpassing boxing in popularity. Check out our upcoming UFC events below and catch a fight night. It will be worth every penny, as this sport has literally rose from nowhere to claim its spot in the limelight. Martial Arts will never be the same again!

I happenned to be here because a friend of mine is working , together with me , on a fantasy world for
our Dungeons and Dragons game . Well at first it should have been just a game , with some small local
map for a short adventure . But quite quickly we started with doing the background for the story and
then background for the background ... and soon after we were creating a whole world , from its very
creation .
We do most things together , but nevertheless there are few areas in which ones just one of us is capable
of doing it on some nice level - there he is making new creatures , monsters and races , since he is a student
of evolution and genetics in his college and I am the one more skilled with some art work - therefore all maps
are my job . Originally I was going to make all of the maps just hand-made but there is just so much ...
So I started to look for alternative ways to do it , I tried some map making programs ( like CC3 , Autorealm ... )
and wasnt exactly thrilled with the results , which I admit is probably fault on my side , but still those programs
just dont offer enough tools to do what I want . So I decided to take on the Photoshop , but so far I am quite
struggling to deal with it . So I started to look for some tutorials about mapmaking and I come across this website .
I cant wait to see how others are dealing with cartography making and hope to learn a lot here .
So thats how I get here

Barbara Zangerl Sends Des Kaisers neue Kleider (5.14a) and Completes the Alpine Trilogy
Barbara Zangerl of Austria has become the first woman to complete the "Alpine Trilogy" after sending Des Kaisers neue Kleider (The Emperor's New Clothes), which is a 5.14a rising roughly 800 feet up the limestone massif of Wilder Kaiser in Austria. Zangerl completed the route last Thursday after spending 15 days trying to "understand the secrets of The Emperor's New Clothes," with her climbing partner Jacopo Larcher of Italy, reports Planet Mountain. This major testpiece of the Alps was established in 1994 by the German rock climbing virtuoso Stephan Glowacz, and when combined with Beat Kammerlander's 1994 route Silbergeier (5.14a) in the Ratikon range of Switzerland and Thomas Huber's The End of Silence (5.14a), also put up in 1994 on the Feuerhorn near Reiter Alm in Berchtesgaden, Germany, completes the formidable Alpine Trilogy.
Zangerl first climbed The End of Silence last August, and then completed Silbergeier this past July. Now she has joined the ranks of the big-wall sport climbing elite with her repeat of The Emperor's New Clothes. It wasn't easy for Zangerl, however. Planet Mountain reports that she needed 7 attempts to redpoint pitch eight, which is the second 5.14a pitch on the route. But Zangerl finally pulled the crux and then cruised the remaining 5.11b pitch guarding the summit.
The 25-year-old Zangerl is quickly becoming one of the best all-around female climbers in the world. She first burst onto the scene for becoming one of the first women to climb V13 with her ascent of Pura Vida in Magic Wood, Switzerland. However, after suffering from a herniated disc, Zangerl seamlessly switched from hard bouldering and began climbing on a rope. However, Zangerl didn't just go sport climbing, but has climbed everything from hard trad to scary, multi-pitch, alpine sport routes. Check out the video below of Zangerl climbing Super Cirill--a nine-pitch, 5.13b crack climb in Ticino, Switzerland.

(KSDK Sports) -- If home cooking was the cure-all for the slow starting St. Louis Cardinals, then hopefully having an old friend over for dinner won't prevent them from continuing to produce the solid results we saw earlier this week.
Former starter, and popular teammate Kyle Lohse will return to St. Louis tonight as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers. Lohse who missed most of Spring Training unsigned, joined Milwaukee just two weeks ago. Lohse makes his return to St. Louis where he pitched for the last five years. This season Lohse allowed five hits and a run while striking out five over six innings of work.
He'll face a Cardinals team coming off two wins in a row, and who have outscored their opponents by 18 runs, and they are tied for first place in the NL Central.
The Cardinals are starting to hit with Matt Carpenter hitting .400, Pete Kozma hitting .294, and Matt Adams hitting .643. The Cardinals opponents are hitting .253 and the St. Louis pitching staff has an ERA of 3.59.
For game one the Cards start Shelby Miller who got the win in his last start. In his first outing Miller allowed four hits and two runs while striking out four over 5.1 innings of work against the Giants in San Francisco.
The Milwaukee Brewers are off to a slow start going 2-6 in their fist eight games. The Brewers are 1-1 on the road, they are in last place in the NL Central, and they have been outscored by their opponents by 17 runs.
As a team the Brewers are hitting .277 with Ryan Braun hitting .500, Jean Segura hitting .458, and Norichika Aoki hitting .389. The Brewers opponents are hitting .316 with the Milwaukee pitching staff having an ERA of 5.47.
