Behold! The Monolith Premieres Brand New Song
Los Angeles stoner/doom metal band Behold! The Monolith premieres a brand new track titled "Philosopher's Blade", taken from the forthcoming new album "Architects of the Void", which will be released this coming September 29th on CD, digital, and vinyl formats.
Check out now "Philosopher's Blade" below.
Behold! The Monolith Announces New Album
Los Angeles stoner/doom metal band Behold! The Monolith will release new album "Architects of the Void" this coming September 29th on CD, digital, and vinyl formats. Guitarist Matt Price had this to say:
"It's a relatively dark album, which is probably fitting. A few of the riffs and ideas had pretty much coagulated right before Kevin's accident, and most of the others were colored by it, so yeah it feels kinda heavy and dark to me. I hope I don't sound like a high falootin' artisté, but it felt personal for me and Chase, so it wound up being more than just stringing riffs together, ya know? That being said Cas and Jordan came in and kicked ass and brought their own stamp to the sound. So it's a bit different, but I think it captures the essence what Behold! The Monolith is all about!"
New album "Architects of the Void" follows 2012 release "Defender, Redeemist" and marks the debut of vocalist Jordan Nalley who took the reigns following the tragic 2013 death of Kevin McDade in a car accident. The album will also be the first for new bassist Jason "Cas" Casanova. More...
Behold! The Monolith Recruits New Singer
Los Angeles stoner metal band Behold! The Monolith has announced the addition of vocalist Jordan Nalley to its ranks. Nalley joined the band following the tragic loss of bassist/vocalist Kevin McDade.
Guitarist Matt Price comments: "I met Jordan through some friends at a Mastodon show. Came to find out we had a few mutual friends, and that he was a vocalist and actually did a bit of vocal coaching for the heavier styles at Musicians Institute.
I took a lesson from him and brought our CD, "Defender, Redeemist." I got a call from him about a week later. He loved the album and wanted to audition. At the time our new bassist, Cas, was in Europe with Sasquatch and our drummer Chase was filling in for about a months worth of Castle's North American tour. So we had to wait a few weeks to give it a try. But when we did it was obvious the chemistry was there.
He sounds great on the old stuff, and his range is great so he's taking the new stuff into even darker gnarlier territory! We played our first show with him and it went great! We're pretty fucking stoked and are in full writing mode. We're hoping to be recording in very early 2015 (we've been talking to Billy Anderson and he's 100% on board)."

Dana Powell recorded her 20th double-double of the season against UCF.
Nov. 20, 2011
DALLAS (SMU) - Dana Powell posted her 20th double-double of the season with a team-high 15 kills and a match-high 18 digs, and Caroline Daly recorded a career-high 11 blocks, but it wasn't enough to knock off UCF Sunday in a match that went five sets and took two hours and 11 minutes to determine a winner. SMU had 19.0 blocks, tying the school record for most blocks in a five-set match, the second time this season the Mustangs have blocked 19 attacks.
SMU forced a fifth set with a 25-12 win in the fourth set, but were edged out by the Knights, the second-ranked offense statistically in Conference USA, 18-16 in the fifth set. The Mustangs, second in the league in digs and blocks, had six of their 19.0 blocks in the fifth set, erasing a seven-point deficit to tie the decisive set 13-13, but SMU could never get the advantage. In the end, it was a block by the Knights that ended the match.
The Mustangs (14-17, 10-9 C-USA) opened the fourth set on a 12-6 run, and never let UCF (19-11, 11-8 C-USA) get back into the set. SMU had four blocks and eight kills in the set, but forced the Knights into 13 attack errors to set up the 13-point margin of victory to tie the match after UCF took control with a 25-20 win in the third set.
After the Knights held off the Mustangs for a four-point victory in the first set, 25-21, the Mustangs answered with a 25-18 win in the second set. SMU trailed by two points midway through the set, 11-9, but retook the lead 13-12 during a 7-1 run and never trailed again to even the match.
Jessica Oliver had 13 kills and five blocks, and Courtney Manning had 10 kills and eight blocks, increasing her season total to 178 blocks. Powell also had seven blocks in the match, and her 15 kills pushed her ahead of Oliver for the team lead with 365 on the season.
The Mustangs will face Tulsa in the final match of the regular season on Saturday in Moody Coliseum at 1 p.m. SMU gave Tulsa its only conference loss of the season, ending the Golden Hurricane's 26-match conference win-streak with a 3-1 win on the road on Oct. 5. SMU will honor its four seniors in a ceremony before the match.

The foreign bets start their chase for 20 berths in the 2014 ICTSI Philippine Golf Tour as the four-day qualifying reels off today at the Aoki course of the Eagle Ridge Golf and Country Club in Gen. Trias, Cavite.
Fifteen Koreans head the big roster of hopefuls seeking spots in this year's bigger, richer circuit with nine Americans also joining the hunt along with those from Australia, Canada, Japan, Sweden and Bangladesh.
To provide a wider base of players and give each one a chance to play in one of Asia's leading circuits, the organizing Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc. has put up a two-stage qualifier, including one for local aspirants topped by Joey Huerva last December.
Manila-based Canadian Rick Gibson, coach of ace teener Miguel Tabuena, is also trying to make the grade in the event sponsored by International Container Terminal Services, Inc.
Others in the fold are Koreas Cho Byung Kyu, Cho Phil Kyu, Kim Chang Hoi, Mun Jae Hyung, Park Jin Young, Nam Ji Soo, Kim Sung Woon, Park Kyoung Chun, Kwak Tae Heon, Kang Dae Man, Kim Hwan Bum, Hyun Jeon Jeong and Jong Choi Eun.
Tony Guerrero and Josh Leppo banner the US contingent that includes Elliott Hume, Daniel Bigelow, Krishna Beach, Honey Boy Pabonita, Tuan Nguyen, Eric Mina, Norman dela Peña and Robert Manalo.
Masaru Imabayashi, Ryoma Miki and Yuto Katsuragawa, meanwhile, also bid for berths, each one trying to duplicate compatriot Toru Nakajima's title romp in the last leg of last year's ICTSI PGT, becoming the first foreign player to win on the local circuit,.
Nakajima placed joint second in last year's combined Q-School for local and foreign aspirants ruled by Dutch Guido Van der Valk.
The top 20 players after the 72-hole tournament will gain cards for the upcoming 2014 season, which will feature a record 18 legs, including four P3.5 million events, firing off in March.

When you reach the fifth installment of a horror franchise, it's usually a sign that things are getting pretty darn tired...usually. "Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones" is a half off shoot, half next installment in this series of found footage films and while it was somewhat shoehorned into the mythology of the previous films, this film actually would have been better served to stand alone and ditch the tired found footage device as this could have been a half way decent horror flick.
After the mysterious death of a local witch in his apartment building complex, Jesse (Andrew Jacobs) is "marked" and as he starts exhibiting strange abilities and begins to be pursued by mysterious forces as his family and friends will stop at nothing to save him.
Ultimately this is a story that feels like it got adapted in order to fit not only the mythology but the found footage genre. This is one of those instances where the gimmick of the shaky cam was too much and actually brought the entire film down.
Basically a standard demon possession film, it at least has a fresh setting taking place in the Hispanic community with some decently subtle twists and turns as it teases elements of Mexican folklore and mysticism but nothing comes of it. Writer/Director Christopher Landon who also serves as writer and producer on parts 2 through 4 is well versed in the mythology of it all as there is at least a somewhat interesting twist ending but the shaky cam found footage style that this story is forced into simply takes far too many logic jumps in order to keep it going and it gets a little laughable after a while as big things in the narrative, just don't make any sense because they have to keep the found footage style alive.
It's a story that would have been easily serviceable and maybe even entertaining, but the gimmick just dragged the material down making sure that were more annoyed then we were invested with these characters who had little to no actual development to them, despite a couple of halfway decent jump scares along the way.
The young unknown cast was actually fairly credible as they just had to get from point A to point B along the narrative. No one has to do any legitimate character acting in this one, but they buy into it all and do their best to make it work, no matter how shaky the camera gets.
There is at least some raw potential in how "Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones" all unfolds, especially considering the twist ending of the film, but the found footage gimmick of this series is getting so tired that no one would honestly care if it got dropped altogether as there is enough meat on this narrative bones' to make something that would make for an at least watchable horror film.
2 out of 5 stars.
Picture and sound on the Blu-Ray are fine and the special features include an extended cut of the film with an extra 16 minutes along with the theatrical version and some behind the scenes Found Footage.

UCAS Process
University applications are in the majority of cases handled by UCAS. Students will send their applications to UCAS who distribute them to the relevant universities.
1. Research
This is a vital part in the process. It is important for the student and the University that the student makes an informed decision about their course and university.
Research will normally begin in the March/April in the year prior to them starting the course. Schools/colleges will often organise events in-house or arrange visits to larger fairs. We would encourage students to get as much information and talk to as many university representatives as they can.
One of the main research activities is to attend University Open Days.
The entry requirements for courses may be expressed in grades, UCAS tariff points or a mixture of the two.
Futher information: UCAS Tariff and www.ucas.com.
2. The UCAS form
Once the student has decided what they want to study and where they want to go they will start work on the form itself. This will be an electronic form in almost all cases. As well as the personal information (name, address etc) they will also need to fill out the qualifications they already have (GCSE's, AS Levels etc), the qualifications pending (A-Levels, BTEC etc) and a personal statement explaining why they feel they are suitable for the course. The form also includes a reference written by their teachers.
Forms can be sent to UCAS from 1st September. Most schools/colleges will have a deadline of around the October half term to submit the forms by.
Students will then be made offers or rejections from the University. If they are waiting for qualification results then they may be given a conditional offer.
- Choose a sensible email address for the UCAS form.
- Ensure they type their Date of Birth and not the date of the day when they complete the form!
- Universities don't see where else a student is applying and students only write one personal statement for all 5 choices, so ensure it is relevant for all of the courses they are applying to.
3. Decisions, decisions
Once students have received their offers they will need to make a decision about which will be their Firm (1st) and Insurance (2nd) choice. This decision may involve a visit to the University which students and parents can do between January and April.
If a student doesn't receive any offers or wishes to decline offers then all is not lost. They can enter UCAS Extra.
4. Assessments and preparation
The final stage in the process is obviously for students to work as hard as they can to achieve the best possible grades for any assessments they will take over the summer. Once the exams are over many students will take some time to relax and get a part-time job to help with saving for university living costs. Preparation can also begin for going to university and maybe living away from home for the first time.
Exam results are usually published from the third week of August. If a student achieves the grades to meet their firm university offer they will just need to confirm their place. If they meet the grades required for the insurance offer they again need to confirm their place. If a student doesn't get the required grades they can enter Clearing.

Colorado Mammoth faced one of the toughest opponents Friday night as the Edmonton Rush came into the Pepsi Center with a record of 14-0. With the playoffs lingering in the back of their minds, the Colorado Mammoth had to win.
The 23 year old goalie, Dillon Ward helped the Mammoth achieve that much needed victory. The Colorado Mammoth stopped the undefeated Edmonton Rush with a score of 10-8. Stopping 23 of 29 shots on goal in the third and fourth quarter, Dillon Ward held the title of player of the game.
With two games left and those being road games, the fate of the playoffs rest on each player of the Colorado Mammoth. The Mammoth will face Minnesota and then Philadelphia. They won't be easy but then this whole season has not been easy. How will the next couple of weeks play out? No one knows but it will be the Colorado Mammoth who are in control of their own destiny and will either go home in a couple of weeks or start their playoff run.

|Assistant Coach
|Other Position:
|Head Strength & Conditioning Coach
|Alma Mater:
|Pacific (Ore.)
|Graduating Year:
One of the most overlooked elements in the success of Oregon's student-athletes is Jim Radcliffe, now in his 29th year as the school's head strength and conditioning coach and 31st overall. He not only plays a significant role in the Ducks' football program as the designer of the year-round conditioning calendar but also has been quick to aid the athletic development of athletes in the sports of baseball as well as men's and women's track & field.
While he has long been one of the integral components to the program's success – as often credited by both past and present Oregon student-athletes – his work and innovation are now recognized as one of the overwhelming contributions to the fast pace the football team has employed the past five years.
During his tenure as the longest among his counterparts within the Pac-12 Conference, he as established himself as a highly-respected teacher, coach and author. An active clinician throughout the country, he is widely recognized as one of the leading authorities regarding exercise for the development of strength, speed and agility.
In addition to overseeing a strength and conditioning program that was named one of the top 10 in the country in 2013 by Bleacher Report, Radcliffe was included on a list of the 65 most influencial strength coaches of all time by another 2012 website, as well as one of three national finalists for FootballScoop's Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year award in 2010.
Radcliffe, who guided the receivers during much of the 1999 fall camp, furnishes the student-athletes with a wide variety of exercise through weight training and lifting systems, and is a noted authority in the field of exercises dealing with the improvement of speed and quickness.
The 57-year-old McCloud, Calif., native became assistant strength coach at Oregon in 1985, a position he held for two years before assuming the direction over his specialty.
Radcliffe taught and coached a variety of sports and was the athletic trainer for four years at Aloha (OR) High School from 1980-83.
He then did graduate study at Colorado and worked in private business prior to joining the Ducks' staff. Graduating from Pacific (OR) with a degree in physical education and health in 1980, he played four seasons at defensive back and was captain of the special teams. Radcliffe earned his Master's in biomechanics from Oregon in 1992.
Radcliffe is active in national organizations surrounding his profession and is certified by the United States Weightlifting Federation. He also has written books, been published in numerous professional journals and produced videos on plyometrics, one of the most effective exercise techniques.

in part related to does Lenovo fingerprint reader work in ubuntu?
i did follow the several instructions one can find on here and elsewhere. i succeeded also in enrolling my index finger with the gui and with running pam-uth-update activated the fingerprint-reader for login or sudo commands
whenever i now boot the machine or give sudo commands i get a command shown to identify with my finger. the LED of the fingerprint-reader also SHORTLY lights up and then goes off.
SOMETIMES logging in like that works most of the times it does not work
i am sure this has to do with the led being on for short moment only.
but why?? any log to check??
btw: works fine in windows 7 so hardware is okay and lusb also shows my reader is supported by finger-print-gui

Meeting Big Joe Turner (Part 1)
Walter Kolosky, who recently contributed an article on Dexter Gordon in this column, shares below a memorable encounter with Big Joe Turner. This is the first installment of a two-part article. (For part two of this article click here.) T.G.
In the winter of 1980 I witnessed one of the most formative musical performances I would ever see. It taught me that music, and art for that matter, can transcend life's station and circumstances.
My best friend Chris and I decided to visit our mutual pal Buck Sutter in New York City. Buck was a great guitarist and college buddy of mine who had wasted his time trying to teach me to play some decent guitar. He also gamely attempted to help my pal Chris with his playing. Despite Buck's valiant efforts, Chris and I never went on to jazz or blues fame and fortune. We didn't even go on stage. We were destined to be listeners.
Buck had promised to be our musical guide for the weekend, so we decided not to plan ahead.
Chris and I were taken aback when we arrived at Buck's family's home. It was the first time we had ever visited him. His home was the whole floor of some building on 5th Avenue. The walls were covered with what appeared to be museum-quality artwork that was lit indirectly from underneath by upside down music stand lights. To this day, that is the only private home I have ever been to that had lighted artwork.
Buck, who we now knew was idly rich, was on the couch playing a small acoustic guitar. His financial wealth was confirmed when he told us that he was planning to backpack through Spain in the next year to learn flamenco guitar. Apparently young guitar players live like gypsies traveling through Spain, staying at hostels at night and learning flamenco by running into other players doing the same during the days. He told us that a lot of these flamenco guys were fanatics going to all extremes to live the life. In particular I remember him telling us that some musicians would even melt metal and put it behind their fingernails to strengthen them for playing. He also explained to us that the guitar he was playing was a two-thirds size model so that he could comfortably strap it to his back for those long days hitchhiking in Spain. Since Chris and I were planning to spend our upcoming summer moving furniture for North American Van Lines, Buck's story of his Spanish adventure thrilled and depressed us at the same time.
Buck had looked at the newspaper before we arrived and determined he wanted us to go to two shows that night. The Latin jazz conga star Poncho Sanchez was playing at a jazz loft at midnight. But first Buck wanted to start the night by catching a set from Big Joe Turner at Tramps nightclub.
Chris and I were familiar with Big Joe. Chris knew him from his blues recordings. Turner had many nicknames. The "Kansas City Shouter" was our favorite. His style was to holler out his lyrics in the Kansas City style of some blues singers. I knew that Big Joe had been a very fine jazz singer as well. I seemed to remember that he even did a stint with Count Basie's Big Band at one time. In the '50s he had some big pop hits such as "Shake, Rattle and Roll" and my favorite, "Flip, Flop and Fly." Both Chris and I were surprised Buck suggested seeing Big Joe because, quite frankly, we thought Big Joe was long ago dead.
We went to the first set. I was a young man and this was my first experience being in a nightclub that had a minimum food order. So in addition to the money we paid for the ticket, we had to spend another four dollars on something to eat, whether we ate or not. That was a lot of money to me back then. I remember trying my first quiche at that place because the other three items on the menu were even less appealing.
A jazz band, which later turned out to be Turner's backing band, opened the show. They were very good. I would have been happy just listening to these cats play. But the band did seem to play a long time and I knew there were two sets scheduled that evening. Chris, Buck and I began to wonder if Big Joe was late for the show.
To us it was not a sure thing that Big Joe would show-up. We knew he was a big fat old guy who apparently drank a lot. I guess that is why we assumed he was dead. Perhaps he dropped dead of a heart attack on his way to the first set. Who knew?
Finally, it came time for Big Joe to make his appearance. The emcee took the microphone and told us a little history about Big Joe and asked us to welcome him to the stage. The enthusiastic audience responded with very strong applause. Some time passed. We didn't see Joe yet. Finally, out of the corner of my eye, there he was, Big Joe Turner. He had been sitting in the crowd at a table only about 10 feet away from us. I had noticed this lonely guy sitting all by himself several times while I had been picking at my quiche. He had been sitting there drinking shots with a big blank stare on his face. I had no idea it was the legendary Big Joe Turner!
He was a very large, but extremely frail man, who had to use one of those four-legged walkers to make his way to the stage. We were not the only ones in that crowd who were shocked. Big Joe looked like death warmed over. His gait was so slow that it appeared he would never make it to the stage. The crowd continued its applause, but it was difficult to sustain it through Big Joe's 50-foot death march.
I remember instantly feeling very uncomfortable. That feeling turned to guilt within a minute. It was apparent that Turner was a broken-down old man who had to sing for his supper. I know I wasn't the only one in the crowd that night who felt in some way we were part of the exploitation of poor Joe Turner. We all had just come out for a good time. But it appeared we were gathered to watch Big Joe's last few days on earth instead. . . .

A group for the discussion of the playing of 7-sting guitar
Members: 14
Latest Activity: May 7, 2014
Started by John Michael Meehan. Last reply by John Michael Meehan Feb 3, 2009.
Olav Loef,
I see your 7 string is set up like Spider John Koerner's. Were/Are you a fanof his early music? I believe he mostly plays a 12 string these days, but he played the seven string in the sixties. He put a banjo tuning peg in the centre of the peg head of a six string.
I have an acoustic 7-string that was made by Jeff Robertson. I pretty much play exclusively in open tunings with it. Here is a video of the guitar playing Chattanooga Choo Choo.
I made a 7 string OM in September. The Idea was to make a light guitar with a bright,fast attack! So my choose of wood was "widegrain Adirondak" topwood and hard Serbian Pear in side/back.
I must say, I had 100% luck!
You find it on my homepage www.loefguitars.fi if You go down to the guitar named "7"
It is also on picture here
Is this group open to all 7 string guitars? I'm aware of three types of seven string. George Van Eps popularised the guitar with the extra bass string, Lennie Breau's 7 string had an extra treble string and Spider John Koerner played a 7 string with a double course on the G, one string being an octave higher, on the Blues, Rags & Hollers albums in the sixties.
As/since I don't (yet) have a 7-string guitar, I would be interested in seeing a forum/group 'poll', answering the question: "What make/model 7-string guitar do you have/play?" ... and "do you play nylon or steel string?"
I would think that 7-strings would make for a finger-picker's delight?
Wow, another active thread. If anyone checks this, I am interested in finding out what scale length you all prefer of 7-string and what guage strings you us.
I made a 7-string acoustic with a 25.5 inch scale and use .012 to .070.
Found a .066 way to sloppy and no tone. The .070 made a world of differance giving tons of kick.

Get the Wood Rot Repair Solutions from Us to Fix Your Problems
Are You In a Problem Due To Wood Rot?
It's a very common problem in every house: wood absorbs moisture in or around your home and causes dry rot to form. You can see it in garage doors, window casings, exterior door trim, log homes, eaves, structural lumber and other wood used in construction. This can especially be seen where the wood looks misshapen, and may appear to have wrinkles in it. An easy way to check to see if there is dry rot in your home is to poke at it firmly with a screwdriver.
Our Products Solve Your Problem
If your home has dry rot, then you do not need to worry as our products all come with sets of instructions on how to use them. We also have video guides on our website to show you exactly how to handle our products, all of them with step by step instructions, beginning with safety equipment, and continuing to how to properly open the cans, what types of materials you will need and how to correctly apply our products.

It is that time of the year when it is appropriate to be "talkin' baseball" and so I shall today. When last I wrote about the Biogenesis Saga, I said that Ryan Braun was in a category of players named who had already failed a drug test – and then avoided suspension based on a technicality related to how his urine sample was tested. Since then, there have been reports that Braun's explanation as to how his name appeared in Biogenesis' records may not be an airtight alibi. Braun claimed that his lawyer had hired the doctor at Biogenesis as an expert witness for Braun's appeal of the previous positive test but those services had not been needed. Now, it appears that Braun's name is also on a list of players where "money due" from some of the players appears.
Let me repeat, more evidence will come out of this mess and we do need to wait and see what the totality of the evidence is. However, I do have to say that Braun's dismissive statement regarding Biogenesis coupled with the additional information leaked about the matter does not make him a more credible or sympathetic figure.
Bob Molinaro had this item in the Hampton Roads Virginian-Pilot that gives you an idea about how "baseball" looks at the Biogenesis mess:
"Baseball's lament: It's a given that every story involving the Yankees and Alex Rodriguez will be exaggerated. But from a strictly baseball point of view, if A-Rod is busted for using PEDs, it's less of a big deal than if the Brewers' Ryan Braun is implicated. I mean, Braun still can hit; he's got a future."
The Red Sox got a bit of bad news regarding young outfield prospect Bryce Brentz even before he reported to Spring Training. Dwight Perry summed up the situation very succinctly in the Seattle Times:
"Outfielder Bryce Brentz, one of the Red Sox's top 10 prospects, will miss much of spring training after shooting himself in the leg while cleaning his gun.
"There went his shot at making the opening-day roster."
Michael Bourn signed a 4-year contract with the Cleveland Indians for $48M with an option for a fifth year at $12M. When the season ended last year, baseball pundits labeled Bourn as the premier outfield free agent on the market and he had Scott Boras as his agent. Naturally, he turned down the Braves qualifying offer; he was out for a bigger payday. Speculation was that he might get 5 years and $80M from the Nats, Reds or Phillies. None of that happened…
What he turned down was a 1-year deal worth $13.4M. Michael Bourn is not a grizzled vet reaching the end of his rope so the objective way to look at this situation is that he left $1.4M on the table for this season and the opportunity to have a big year this year and shop his services around next winter. Of course, if he were to have a mediocre season…
Here are a series of questions facing some of the MLB teams as they put Spring Training into high gear.
Can the Houston Astros possibly avoid losing 100 games this season?
Will the Pirates finally finish over .500 this year and break their 20-year streak of losing seasons?
What is Steven Strasburg's pitch count/innings count for the season?
Can the Phillies possibly suffer as many injuries in 2013 as they did in 2012?
The Twins traded two good outfielders (Ben Revere to the Phillies and Denard Span to the Nats). Are the rookies/prospects who will replace these two guys ready for MLB?
Who will be the closer for the Tigers? Do they still have Jose Valverde's phone number or was it lost the way Valverde was lost in last year's post-season?
The Indians improved their lineup with the acquisition of Nick Swisher and Michael Bourn but can that pitching staff get anybody out?
How will the Cardinals try to replace the injured Chris Carpenter? Rookies? Resigning Kyle Lohse? Divine intervention?
Are the Orioles for real? Last year the pitching staff well exceeded expectations so the question for 2013 is:
Will the pitchers regress to the mean this year or are they a lot better than anyone thought?
In 2012, the Miami Marlins drew an average of 27,401 fans per game. With the depleted roster for 2013, will they average 20,000 this year? How about 18,000?
In the AL East, I will be interested to see if the NY Yankees (vintage 2013) travel a path similar to the one blazed by the Boston Red Sox (vintage 2012). Last year's Red Sox had a bunch of injuries hit a roster that had little or no depth. The team was old and the atmosphere in the locker room seemed to oscillate between "turmoil" and "mutiny". Despite a hefty payroll, the Red Sox (vintage 2012) won a grand total of 69 games.
Going into 2013, the Yankees have injuries/rehab situations to deal with regarding Derek Jeter and A-Rod. CC Sabathia had offseason elbow surgery and Mariano Rivera at age 43 needs to come back from having his knee reconstructed. The Yankees for 2013 have a hefty payroll as did the Red Sox in 2012 and there is at least some potential for locker-room issues in NY; and if there are any sparks, they would be fanned into flame by the NYC tabloids. Understand, I am not saying this is going to happen to the Yankees or that I hope that it does happen. Nonetheless, there are some parallels here…
Finally, Greg Cote had this note in the Miami Herald last weekend related to the way Marlins' fans think of Marlins' owner Jeffrey Loria:
"I honestly believe there is nothing LeBron can't do, with the possible exceptions of brokering permanent peace in the Middle East or making Marlins fans like Jeffrey Loria.
"And I'd give him half a shot with the peace thing."
But don't get me wrong, I love sports………

GREEN BAY, Wisc. -- Top news coming in to a warm and sunny San Francisco today is about the 49ers-Packers wild-card game
Just as time ran out, Phil Dawson kicked a 33-yard field goal in the wildcard game.
In addition, Colin Kaepernick threw for 227 yards and ran for another 9.
That lead him to lead the San Francisco 49ers past the Green Bay Packers 23-20. It all happened on Sunday night in a frigid NFC wild-card game.
"The weather looked terrible, it must have been a lot harder to play in that kind of weather," says San Francisco resident, Katie Adler.
Newser.com described the excitement thus:
"In a back-and-forth fourth quarter, the 49ers (13-4) threw the final punch. Kaepernick escaped a blitz on third-and-8 and scrambled for an 11-yard gain to the 27 with 1:13 left. Dawson nailed the winning kick five plays later."
"Meat locker" is the description used to talk about the win in the horrible weather conditions
"The defending NFC champions came away with a huge win in conditions that resembled a meat locker. It was 5 degrees at kickoff, and the winds made it feel like minus-10."

Medications List
Is there a medications list of the categories for pregnancy medications (i.e. cat B, cat C, etc)? I feel it should be posted on the site, it is hard to find out if the doctor prescribed the wrong meds, especially if you are with an hmo like Tricare. already docs have prescribed 3 cat C medications and I wouldnt have known those were bad unless an emergency room doctor told me to stop them and she prescribed me correct ones.

Today we — the UNT System Chancellor and Board of Regents — carefully listened to public statements made by members of the University of North Texas community who encouraged the Board not to accept Dr. Gretchen M. Bataille's resignation as president. Before the Board accepted Dr. Bataille's resignation and approved a transitional agreement, the Board gave careful consideration to the future of the university, its status as an emerging research university and other factors.
The Board decided to accept Dr. Bataille's resignation effective February 28, 2010. The Board, which is honoring Dr. Bataille's contract, thanks her for her service to the university.
In a separate action, the Board appointed former UNT administrator Phil C. Diebel to serve as the university's interim president. As many of you know, Mr. Diebel served the university for 26 years — nearly all of that time as the vice president for finance and business affairs.
Mr. Diebel's appointment will take effect on March 1, 2010, and he is expected to serve in the interim capacity for only a short period of time — 90 days or more — until an academic interim leader is identified to lead the institution during the System's national search for a new president. We're grateful that Mr. Diebel, who has extensive knowledge of the university and higher education, agreed to serve UNT during this transition.
To keep UNT on its path toward becoming a Tier I university, we believe it is important for the longer-term interim president to be an experienced academic leader with research university experience — someone who will work collaboratively with the UNT's faculty and staff members to advance the university's initiatives.
Today, we heard a good deal of praise for Dr. Bataille's accomplishments, especially for the manner in which she unified the university campus around shared goals and initiatives, and her strong advocacy for students. There's no doubt her legacy will be one of significant change and improvement.
We also heard expressions of sadness about Dr. Bataille's departure and concern for how her resignation might impact the future of the university. It's important that you know we are fully committed to advancing the mission and strategic goals of our flagship university, including the goals that Dr. Bataille put in place. The Board takes seriously the university's longstanding mission of successfully educating a diverse population of students and keeping the cost of that education affordable. We also are committed to continued excellence in academics and the arts and support for the success of our athletic programs.
We know careful planning will be needed to achieve the university's goal of becoming a Tier I research university, and we intend to support that goal through our decisions. The System staff members will continue to support the university's leadership in the completion of UNT's capital projects, including the stadium, Business Leadership Building and Life Sciences Building. We intend to do all that we can to continue to advance the university's image and reputation, which impacts the value of a UNT degree and its institutional fundraising. In keeping with the American College & University President's Climate Commitment, UNT will continue its sustainability initiatives and lower the carbon footprint on our flagship campus.
We are confident the university will continue to make progress during this transitional period. You will ensure that UNT continues to advance, just as you do every day. Thank you for all that you do to make the university and its students successful.
Going forward, your participation in preparation for the selection of a new president will be important. The System will begin a process of engagement, as soon as possible, to identify the leadership skills and administrative experience that all key UNT constituents want to see in the next president. The insights of university stakeholders — students, faculty and staff members, alumni, Denton community members, donors and friends — are needed before the search for a new president is launched. When that process is complete, the System will name a broadly representative search committee to identify prospective candidates for the future UNT president.
Thank you for your continued commitment to the university and support of those who will work to ensure an orderly transition of institutional leadership.

An ex-offender handed the Duchess a baby outfit as she and Prince William visited a crime prevention charity in north London.
17:09, UK, Tuesday 19 November 2013
Four-month-old Prince George is growing fast, his mother the Duchess of Cambridge has revealed, as she accepted a baby outfit from an ex-offender.
Aaron Russell-Andrews handed her the personalised garment as she and husband Prince William visited a crime prevention charity in north London.
Only Connect, which works with prisoners, former criminals and young people at risk of offending, had invited the royal couple to see their headquarters to learn more about what the organisation does.
Mr Russell-Andrews' daughter, 20-month-old Teegan, tried to take the present back from Kate - leading the Duchess to joke with him about how "demanding" babies can be.
He said: "She was very pleased that Only Connect has helped me make such a big change with my life and keep me on the right path."
Asked what Kate thought of the white outfit, which featured the Only Connect logo and the words Prince George underneath, Mr Russell-Andrews, 22, said: "She was very pleased about it.
"She said it's a very good fit because he's growing very fast, and that he'll like it."
Mr Russell-Andrews, from Camden, north London, became involved with the charity four years ago after committing a crime a day as a teenager - including robbery, burglary and vehicle theft - and is now a professional actor.
At a separate charity venue, the royals were treated to contemporary dance performances by the group Dance United and met those connected to the charity.
While Teegan was all smiles with Kate, she burst into tears when William started speaking to her father.
But she was soon placated with a piece of chocolate cake made by trainees from Switchback, which aims for rehabilitation through catering.
Kate tried two pieces of their cakes herself, one an iced ginger sponge and the other a chocolate cake.

The Georgia Child Traumatic Stress Initiative is a SAMHSA-funded collaboration between the Stephanie V. Blank Center for Safe and Healthy Children of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CSHC) and the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences of Emory University School of Medicine.
The Georgia Child Traumatic Stress Initiative aims to: (a) improve behavioral health services for maltreated children in Georgia by expanding implementation of, and access to, evidence-based behavioral health treatment for trauma-related symptoms and behaviors, and (b) develop the Georgia behavioral health workforce by building capacity for evidence-based treatment of children's trauma-related symptoms and behaviors. The project has four objectives:
1. Expand evidence-based behavioral health treatment services for children evaluated in the CSHC by hiring additional staff, providing training in evidence-based treatment models, and providing trauma informed services to children which include:
2. Provide informational webinars on behavioral health topics to child service agencies
3. Build capacity in Georgia for evidence-based treatment of maltreated children's trauma-related symptoms and behaviors through:
4. Pilot TF-CBT via telemedicine at the CSHC to traumatized children and their families in rural North Georgia
5. Resource Parent Curriculum (RPC) is a PowerPoint-based interactive training curriculum designed to be taught by a trauma-informed professional and foster parent as co-facilitator. The curriculum is structured for an entire cohort of parents to attend all the modules together which build upon one another. The RPC consist of eight modules that cover topics such as trauma 101, understanding how trauma affects children, building a safe place, dealing with feelings and behaviors, connections and healing, becoming an advocate, and self-care.

BOULDER - Basketball sophomores Jen Reese and Spencer Dinwiddie earned CU Athlete of the Week honors on Wednesday for their performances during the week of Dec. 17-23. CU's Athlete of the Week is sponsored by Silk®, Horizon® and International Delight®.
Reese had a career-high 16 points to help the now No. 23 women's basketball program to its 700th win all-time; coming in a 81-45 victory against Utah Valley University on Saturday.
The previous high in a game for the forward from Clackamas, Ore., was 15 points, which she achieved on two other occasions with the most recent being at Illinois on Dec. 1 of this season.
The women's basketball team is now 10-0 this year, marking the fourth time in school history that the squad has started the season with that mark. The Buffs have now won 23 straight and 30 of their last 34 non-conference regular season games dating back to the 2010-11 season.
Dinwiddie played only 12 minutes in the first half but scored nine of his 15 points and had a team-high five rebounds, four assists and four steals to lead the men's basketball team to a 57-21 halftime lead and eventually to a 98-51 rout of Northern Arizona on Friday. The guard finished the night with 16 minutes played and six rebounds, five assists and shot 66.7 percent from the field (6-of-9).
The Woodland Hills, Calif., native was recently named to the watch list for the Bob Cousy Award; given annually to the nation's top point guard.
The NAU contest was CU's lone game of week and the first game for the Buffs in nine days. Colorado is now 9-2 this season, which is their best start since beginning 9-2 in 1994-95.
This is Reese's first and Dinwiddie's second CU Athlete of the Week award of the 2012-13 campaign.

"Very handy"
27 January 2014
These hangers are just right for moving garments around ie washing line to wardrobe. Love the way they fold flat too.

Product number: 23865
27 January 2014
These hangers are just right for moving garments around ie washing line to wardrobe. Love the way they fold flat too.
28 August 2013
I have bought 2 Easy Load Hangers for myself and one for my daughter-in-law and we are both very pleased with them. The washing blows gently whilst the hangers stay secure on the line, and so easy to take them in to be ironed. Shame they're being discontinued!
24 June 2013
Found these hangers difficult to use as they do not extend easily and it is quite easy to pinch fingers when pushing back to small size. Very disappointed and will pass them on to my local charity shop. Two stars for good idea just a pity it doesn't work.
Thanks for placing your review. We're sorry that the hangers proved too difficult for you and will be in touch shortly.
25 February 2013
Very disappointed with these. Thought they would be full size hangers that would extend to take wide necked baggy tops, not child sized ones that extend to roughly normal size.
09 February 2013
I have been looking for hangers to take with us in our campervan as we have quick drying travelling clothes which ideally need to be dried on hangers. These are perfect for us as they can be carried small and then extended for use. The ability to hang all six from the carrying hanger means I can hang them all up from one point on our awning. We will be taking them with us on our next trip to Spain and Portugal.
If you're not delighted with your purchase or our service, or find the same product elsewhere for less, please tell us so that we can put it right.

UMass Claims Second-Straight Runner-Up Finish In Atlantic 10 Championships
Feb. 23, 2014
GENEVA, Ohio - The Massachusetts men's swimming & diving team scored 624 points to finish in second place at the 2014 Atlantic 10 Championships on Saturday.
St Bonaventure won its second-consecutive team title with 718 points.
UMass entered the final night of competition needing to erase an 84-point deficit to St. Bona. The finals got off to a promising start as the margin had been trimmed to 63 following a strong showing in the 1,650 free.
The sophomore trio of Alessandro Bomprezzi (3rd in 15:40.62), Joe Woodman (4th in 15:42.02) and Kyle Vieira (6th in 15:44.88) gave the Minutemen an impressive opening swim. Bomprezzi already had the fastest time in school history (set in last year's A-10s) and Woodman put his name into fourth, while Vieira shaved just over four seconds off his previous best and is now fifth.
UMass gained six more on SBU in the 200 back as four swimmers scored 40 points in the first top 14. Junior Hao Luong medaled for the third-consecutive year by touching 1:46.81 for bronze. Freshman Heath Maginn continued to build upon a solid first year with a fourth-place showing in 1:47.01.
The Bonnies regained some momentum in the 100 free with a 1-2 finish, well ahead of senior Chris Inglis (45.15) and sophomore Brian Stiles (45.26) in seventh and eighth, respectively. Inglis' prelims time of 44.86 was the second-fastest in UMass history.
SBU put the championship out of reach an event later with a 43-point total over four athletes in the 200 breast.
Luong qualified for the championship finals of the 200 fly for the third time and finished eighth, just ahead of ninth and 10th-place freshman teammates Ben Sloan and Maginn.
Sophomore diver Josh Koppel was named the Men's Diver of the Meet, while Mandy Hixon received her fifth Diving Coach of the Year award on the men's side.

I needed to know what sort of thread sealer / thread loc could be used on my Scout intake nipples as although they were originally rivetted after tightening at the factory, this is something Flathead power apparently don't do with their cylinder barrels as they use a sealer. I asked their Tech what sealer they used and it turns out to be "Permetex The Right Stuff". I go and pay out approx $30 over here for a can and when I read the the lable it says "Do not use in gasoline" - go figure !
Not too sure what to do now.

I spent two of my weekends this February driving back to my
hometown to take part in the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo.
This year was different as I had the unique opportunity to shadow
with Dr. Ben Espy, the official Rodeo Veterinarian. He has the
responsibility of caring for not only the animal athletes that will
perform in the AT&T Center but also for over 25,000 animals
that are part of the livestock show. Additionally he oversees the
secure collection of urine samples from winning animals to ensure
that illegal drugs and hormones were not used. Luckily Dr. Espy has
two fourth year vet students from Texas A&M, Megan Kirkland and
Ashley Stricklin, who are a huge help to him. For the duration of
the rodeo the fourth years live on the grounds in the vet clinic,
often handling late night calls.
The attitude towards veterinarians at these events is often
tense - especially when dealing with livestock. Students (and their
parents) have spent considerable time and money on their animals in
anticipation of show day. These events have high stakes in the form
of scholarships and prize money. When these animals travel to the
shows they undergo high levels of stress which can make them more
susceptible to infectious diseases. Accidental trauma also occurs
during travel which can cause lameness - prohibiting an animal from
performing at its best. Treatment options are often limited because
most of the animals will be shipped to a harvesting plant
immediately after the show. Dr. Espy, Megan or Ashley would explain
to the owners what options were available, educating them about
various drugs and their withdrawal times. Owners could then make an
informed decision about what was best for their animals.
During the rodeo itself Dr. Espy is required to be on-site. He
is there to ensure that all animals that participate receive proper
and humane care and treatment.The Professional Rodeo Cowboys
Association (PRCA), who runs the San Antonio Rodeo, is deeply
committed to animal welfare. These animals will only perform well
if they are healthy - it doesn't make sense to abuse an animal you
want to perform. The PRCA has over 60 rules in place that cover
animal care, appropriate equipment, and electric prod use. The
majority of the time the rodeo goes smoothly thanks to the amazing
team of staff and volunteers. The Animal Care Team is there in case
an animal does injure itself and needs immediate attention. An
animal ambulance is readily available if necessary and can
transport the injured animal (even if the animal is a large bull!)
outside of the arena.
Being a veterinarian at a rodeo and livestock show is a diverse
job dealing with a variety of animals and people. Communication is
very important as you are dealing with different constraints due to
the nature of a livestock show - being honest and upfront are
qualities that are appreciated by clients. At the rodeo being
informed about the different events and being prepared for anything
help to make the show run smoothly. A big thanks goes out to Dr.
Espy for allowing me to tag along and to both Megan and Ashley for
giving me a glimpse into the life of a vet student.

PRCA rodeos please visit

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is taking public comments on its visitor experience surveys. The bureau, part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, announced in the Federal Register of Thursday, Aug. 14, 2014 that it is asking permission from the Office of Management & Budget (OMB) to continue the use of the Recreation Visitor Use Surveys. Permission for use of the form officially expires on Dec. 31, 2014.
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the bureau must get routine permission from OMB but first asks the public for any suggestions on how it might improve the forms. You can send comments by Oct. 14, 2014. Refer to OMB Control Number 1006-0028. Send your written comments to Jerome Jackson, Bureau of Reclamation, Office of Policy &Administration, 84-57000, P.O. Box 25007, Denver, CO 80225-0007; or by email to firstname.lastname@example.com. If you have any questions or want to see copies, call Jackson at (303) 445-2712.
The bureau gives the forms to people who visit the lands, rivers and reservoirs under its jurisdiction for recreational purposes. It seeks approval for two parts. The first is a series of 11 questionnaires it already uses. But the bureau also wants something new. It sees to design in cooperation with OMB specific custom-designed forms for individual sites. The specific forms would include only the questions from the existing pre-approved forms that are relevant to the site in question. Whenever the bureau develops a site-specific form, it would seek approval from OMB before using it.
The bureau currently operates 289 recreational sites. The places attract more than four million visitors every year and the bureau wants to improve its ability to respond to the needs of visitors at each place. It has no set timetable for distributing any of the questionnaires.
The forms consist of the Marina Survey, Campground Survey, River Instream Flow Survey, Reservoir Preferred Water Level Survey, Lake/River Visit Expenditure Survey, Recreation Activities Survey, Recreation Management Survey, Recreation Fee Survey, Recreation Development Survey, Water Level Impacts on Recreation Boating Use Survey, River Recreation Quality Survey, and Customized Surveys.
The bureau estimates the surveys take between 10 and 20 minutes to complete. Except the Customized Survey, it wants to give each one to 556 users per year.

Wikipedia links to Snail's Tales
I've noticed that at least 2 Wikipedia entries now have links to my posts. One link is from the Wikipedia's entry on the Turkish author Halide Edip Adıvar links to my review of her autobiography. The 2nd link is from the entry about the Dictionary of International Biography to my post on the bogus "International Scientist of the Year" award given out by the International Biographical Centre in Cambridge, England. In both cases, the links are at the ends of the Wikipedia articles under the heading "External Links".
The existence of these links came to my attention when StatCounter reports indicated that some recent visitors had originated from the Wikipedia URLs.

In some parts of Illinois, the amount of snow that's fallen so far is more than an entire winter season, according to the National Weather Service. In places like Hoopeston, there has been as much as 30.7 inches of snow as of Jan. 27. Chicago has had three major snowstorms this month, including the past one this Sun., Jan. 26, and two others with windchill factors as low as 37 degrees below zero.
And when there are breaks between snow, car owners line up to get their cars washed. The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) recommends car owners wash their car as much as possible during the winter season to avoid rust from salt damage.
But while car owners may be paying attention to the snow outside and the exterior of their cars, are the same owners making sure their car is prepared for winter emergencies should drivers end up stuck on the road? The 2011 Lake Shore Drive debacle was a prime example of Chicagoans being stuck on the road for hours. Check out the checklist above to make sure the inside of a car is winter ready, too.

Korsak: "How do you rule out little green men? They are a slippery bunch."
"Too Good To Be True" is the July 1 episode of "Rizzoli & Isles." If you haven't seen this episode, beware of spoilers. "Rizzoli & Isles" airs Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. central on TNT.
Everyone learns about the baby in this episode. Some by Angela, and Jane does tell Korsak. It's definitely amusing watching Jane learn who all Angela told about the baby. The family moments are one of the best of parts of the show. It was great to bring Tommy back, even for a brief moment. I had sort of forgotten what he had been up to, until he started talking to Maura about assembling a jogging stroller.
What's unfortunate is that we don't see the conversation with Casey. It's a huge part of the episode, Jane worrying about how Casey will react. It's not weird that Jane is worrying, but it is weird how the aftermath of the conversation with Casey happened. All we have is Jane's relay of what happened. I couldn't tell if Jane was being completely truthful. It could have been handled better. Even if the actor couldn't appear for whatever reason, Jane relaying what Casey said could have gone over better. Did you think that whole conversation where Jane tells Maura what happened was strange?
Don't get me wrong, I love seeing more of Maura. Her conversations with Korsak this episode are great. She gives a bit of insight into the psychology of the victim. While this information is great to have, it doesn't make sense to me that it comes from Maura. She does acknowledge that she isn't a psychiatrist, but she does go ahead and give her take on the psychology of the crime. It just doesn't feel right considering Maura hates guessing on time of death, whether or not something is a homicide, and where a long gray hair on a body came from.
What did you think of the episode? I'm not ready to think about replacing Frost. Leave me your thoughts in a comment below.
