When a Hollywood movie director says "Cut!" it usually means he wants a scene repeated — which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
When a baseball manager or minor league farm director has said "Cut!" to Pawtucket Red Sox outfielder Daniel Nava, it's always been a bad thing – because it's meant he's been told "Don't let the door hit you on your way out of the stadium."
But now, at age 27 and in his first season of Triple-A ball, Nava arguably is the best minor league position player nobody's ever heard of – even though, over the 2008 and 2009 seasons encompassing 147 games between Lancaster, Salem and Portland, he hit a combined .345 with a .961 OPS, 49 doubles, 15 home runs and 95 RBI.
Moreover, through his first 21 games with Pawtucket, Nava was hitting .319 with three home runs, 16 RBI and a .916 OPS.
"I think one word comes to mind when you're talking about Daniel and that's perseverance," said PawSox manager Torey Lovullo. "The idea that he was under-sized, stuck with it, had a love for baseball and had a passion for staying with it … there isn't a greater story in our clubhouse because he's had the toughest road to get here.
"I've heard him say he was under five-feet and 100 pounds in high school (Nava is a native of Redwood City, Calif.) and got cut from several baseball teams. Now, he's square in the middle of a lineup for Boston's Triple-A club. It's a fairly minor miracle considering what he's gone through."
For example, Nava was cut:
* When he tried out as a walk-on for Santa Clara University in 2001
* When he tried out for the Chico Outlaws in the independent Golden Baseball League.
* When he tried out for a spot on a minor league team in the Toronto Blue Jays' organization.
"I think I've been cut three, four or five times in the past five or six years," said Nava. "Overall, it's been a humbling experience."
How humbling?
This humbling: After failing to make Santa Clara, he served as the Broncos' team manager for two years – which meant he did things like wash uniforms, set up the field and break it down when the team was home, make photocopies for the coaching staff, chart pitches and film hitters and pitchers.
"When we were on the road, I did all the laundry for everyone after a game and, sometimes, I wouldn't get back to our hotel until maybe 2, 3 or 4 in the morning," explained Nava. "It varied depending on how far I had to go."
After two years, Nava transferred to a JUCO – the College of San Mateo – out of necessity.
"The reason I left was I couldn't afford it," said Nava.
Nava hit .430 and .384 in his two seasons (2004 and 2005) with the Bulldogs and with OBPs in excess of .500.
"I played well but I thought just because I did well at a junior college it didn't mean anything," said Nava.
Eventually, Nava decided to return to Santa Clara – but with one caveat.
"When I came back, I had to get a scholarship or else I couldn't come back," he said without the slightest bit of embarrassment. "And my situation was unique in that, after my second year of junior college, I only had one year of athletic eligibility left. Wherever I was going to go, the school only was going to be able to take me for one year. I needed a school to give me close to a full ride for a full year.
"There aren't a lot of schools that want to take a chance. Pepperdine and Oregon State were interested in me but those doors shut and it turned out to be Santa Clara. I went back on a baseball scholarship."
That alone, as Lovullo alluded to, would qualify as "a fairly minor miracle."
But the proverbial bubble burst again when he was cut by Chico.
"Of course there were times when I was frustrated," said Nava. "I know the type of player I am. I'm not a guy who's going to hit bombs. What kept me going was that I knew I could play."
Nava didn't play ball for a year. Then, out of nowhere, he received a call from Chico a day before tryouts commenced for the 2007 season.
Not only did he win a starting role in left field, but he wound up being voted the league's MVP after he finished second in batting average (.371) and slugging percentage (.652).
"After the season ended, Baseball American ran an article where it listed me in the top 10 independent ball prospects," said Nava. "Supposedly, the Cubs and Red Sox read it and wanted me to come in for a personal tryout. Then, I got a call from our hitting coach, John Macalutas, who said 'Never mind. The Red Sox just purchased your contract.'
"I thought it was a joke."
No wonder, because he heard the message on his answering machine as opposed to in person.
"Eventually, I talked to John and he said 'Navs, I'm not messing around with you. I'm telling you the truth,'" said Nava. "It was the day before the (2007) World Series started and I was rooting for the Rockies (who, ironically, were swept by the Red Sox) because they were the underdog.
"Then, I went nuts and started running around the room."
Despite the gaudy stats he posted for the Outlaws, Nava had a sense of why the Red Sox offered him a minor league contract.
"I've always been the type of player who had to do the little things like backing up bases or trying to drop down a bunt because I wasn't the second coming of the worst player you could think of," Nava said with a chuckle. "When I play, I try to back up bases. If I'm struggling in one area I try to make sure I can pick it up in another area.
"With the path I've taken, a lot of things have been out of my control so I try to do the best I can to control the things that are under my control, like the little things. If I can do that, at least I know I've done my part and then I leave everything else up to the guys who make decisions."
The "guy," he referred to, in this case, comprise the Red Sox' minor league brass.
"What I've always said about Daniel is he looks like he's taking batting practice while he's playing in a game," said Lovullo. "It's a very unique spot because when you take batting practice you operate in this very compact, loose zone. In a game, you try not to speed things up. You try as easy as you can to hit the ball as hard as you can.
"You're trying to slow it down. He does a very good job of slowing everything down to where he almost looks like he does while he's taking batting practice."
But, at the risk of stating the obvious, Nava is the last person in the solar system to take anything for granted.
"I think along the way I've always taken it one step at a time because that's the only way I could take it because so many doors have been closed to me," he said. "Now that I'm here, I'm super grateful. But, honestly, I know I have a lot of work to do. I'm not content with what I've done so far.
"There always is a ton of work to do. Obviously, my goal is to get (to the major leagues). But before I get there, I know I have stuff to work on just to put myself in that position. Still, I could tell you a lot of stories where I've been like (Nava made a 'You've-got-to-be-kidding' expression with his face)'."

The Met Office has predicted a "barbeque summer" this year - ie. lots of lovely hot weather worth staying at home for. So here's hoping that we finally get to swish around all summer in an on-trend maxi dress: after all, there's nothing more insouciantly chic than a long, flowing frock when the weather hots up. And, since it will take you effortlessly from beach to bar, a maxi dress is a holiday investment that will last long after your tan has started to fade.

COLUMBUS - It might have been the toughest hold somebody put on Columbian's Seth Williams all year. It was a mighty bear hug, to be sure. But, Williams wasn't trying for an escape, and certainly wasn't looking for reversal points.
He had no reason to. His coaches were simply congratulating him on a job well done.
Williams had just become a state champion.
Article Photos
Columbian's Seth Williams raises his arms to the sky after beating Carlisle's Jimmy Sandlin, 5-1 in the Division II 170 pound title match Saturday night.
Williams beat Jimmy Sandlin of Carlisle 5-1 to win the Division II 170-pound state championship Saturday in Columbus.
"I'm not too overexcited. I've been dreaming about it for four years, so I kind have been here before," he said.
Despite the rush of emotions that had to come with getting his hand raised in victory, Williams kept his poise with his approach to the win. He calmly shook hands with his opponent and his coaches, pointed and gave a slight flex to his supporters in the crowd, then nearly got taken down for the first time in the tournament when his coaching staff rushed over to congratulate the new champion.
Talking after the match, Williams admitted it still hadn't sunk in yet that he was the best in Ohio. But did say it was a sweet feeling considering the long road he traveled.
"It feels great, especially coming up short last year. Getting pinned first round as a freshman, then winning the state title as a senior," he said in between congratulatory pats on the back from fellow wrestlers passing by.
It was Williams' fourth trip to state and fourth time he's placed, but the first time he's claimed the ultimate prize. Last year was the near miss as Williams finished runner-up. There were tears shed after Saturday's championship match, but they were from Columbian coach Chad Long who got choked up talking about Williams.
"He's put his heart and soul and faith in us at Tiffin," Long said while trying to hold back his emotions. "As a wrestling coach, as a family, he deserves everything he gets."
When Williams and Sandlin locked up in the championship match, the first round was a near stalemate with neither gaining an edge. Then Williams got a leg up. Literally.
Williams got a single-leg takedown in the closing seconds of the first round to grab a 2-0 lead. Williams started the second round in the down position and quickly got an escape to boost his lead to 3-0, then, much like in the first period, he turned a single-leg into another takedown with 15 seconds left in the period for a commanding 5-0 lead.
Williams said he held back a bit of his offense during his first few matches at state, not wanting to reveal his whole arsenal to his competition.
"The first three matches I didn't show anyone my style," Williams said. "Then all of a sudden I changed it up on him. Looks like it worked."
Two minutes stood between Williams and a state title. Four years of hard work, and countless hours of blood, sweat and tears came down to two minutes.
"The last two minutes felt like an hour to be honest," Williams said. "I didn't want to completely shut off my attacks, but I had to be smart, be on my defensive a little bit. But, when you're up like that you can't let it go."
And he didn't.
Sandlin got an escape point off Williams in the first 15 seconds of the final round, but Williams held off all Sandlin's takedown attempts and closed out the victory.
With it came Columbian's first state title.
"It feels awesome because Seth's such a great kid," Long said. "He's a great role model for our whole program. He's a great student-athlete. And for him to represent us, having our first state championship. It means a lot."
There is sure to be plenty more messages of congratulations, more bear hugs and pats on the back. But Williams said the celebration was going to begin with the people that's been there with him every step of the way.
"I'm going to go talk to my family," he said. "My coaches, friends, celebrate with them."

The Federal Government Files Complaint Against Nap NannySunny Chanel
Do you have one of those Nap Nanny recliners in your home? If so, you might want to think twice before putting your beloved baby in its care.
On Wednesday, according to CBS News, the Federal Government's Consumer Product Safety Commission filed a administrative complaint against the Nap Nanny manufacturer, Baby Matters LLC of Berwyn, Pa., in regards to their portable baby recliner called "the Chill."
The CPSC is seeking an order that Baby Matters inform consumers of risks with their product, and they are very serious risks indeed. According to the complaint, 70 children have allegedly fallen out of their recliners and five have died.
"My heart goes out to the parents and families of children who are injured or lose their lives in incidents associated with consumer products," CPSC commissioner Nancy A. Nord said in a statement. "Yet not every incident that occurs in the presence of a product was necessarily caused by that product."
But the filing may be moot, the company went out of business a month ago. But Leslie Gudel, the company's owner and founder, still doesn't think they are at fault. "We do not believe the complaint has merit and stand behind the safety of our product when used as instructed. No infant using the Nap Nanny properly has ever suffered an injury requiring medical attention."
In some of the cases, the recliner was placed in the crib, which the company stated was not safe, but parents did it anyways. When doing so a child risks suffocation. Other babies were injured when they fell out of the harness. Most of the injuries and four of the deaths were attributed to the first version of the Nap Nanny; the newer version hit the selves in January 2011.
Have you encountered the Nap Nanny or used one?

Nick Riewoldt says he and Brendon Goddard will be mates for life
- From: Sunday Herald Sun
- December 01, 2012
NICK Riewoldt admits it will be strange playing against his former teammate Brendon Goddard next year, but says he will be "mates with 'BJ' for life".
And the Saints captain has urged the club's fans to treat Goddard with the respect he deserves when he steps out for Essendon against St Kilda in Round 4.
"It will be tough (playing against him)... 'BJ' was one of my groomsmen and he will be a mate of mine forever," Riewoldt said. "At the end of the day, the two parties couldn't come together and that's unfortunate.
"I would've loved him to have still been at St Kilda. The fact is he isn't there any more. That's just a part of footy."
Asked if he expects the gloves to be off when Goddard meets his old side next year, Riewoldt laughed and said: "Exactly."
"I think we had (former coach) 'Rossy' (Lyon) in Round 4 this year; and it's funny how it has worked out to be 'BJ' in Round 4 next year," he said.
Picture gallery: Saints meet Denver Broncos
"The fact is that he is a 200-game player and a life member of the club, so hopefully there will be that healthy level of respect. I'm sure there will be."
Riewoldt said he did not want to go into the reasons for his mate's departure, but he can understand why coach Scott Watters stood up for the club throughout the process of Goddard's move.
"Scotty always supports the players and the club, and that's one of the great things about him," he said. "You absolutely know where you stand with him, and that's great."

Snooki at her fragrance launch on Nov. 13.
Photo: MTV
Guys, Snooki is really, really close to fashion world domination. Like, we thought her accessories, flip-flops, handbags, and sunglasses lines were enough to prove that she was a TOTAL #bosslady, but as it turns out, that was just the beginning of her style endeavors. Last week, she launched her second fragrance and first-ever nail polish collection, and this week we were lucky enough to chat with her about it! (And try all the products out firsthand, obvi.) It turns out she not only launched a 3-piece glitter nail collection like we thought, but also tons of other "Snookified" polishes, including a shimmery green color called "Money Maker" and a magenta hue called "Smush That." She also surprised us with super-cute press-on nails (complete with bows!), animal print nail decals and even a scented top coat. We chatted about all-things beauty, including her freshly-dyed fiery red hair, obsession for nail art, and—GASP—future clothing line. Peep ALL the deets after the jump, and, just so you know, we're totally in love with her now. Baiii.
MTV STYLE: First off, tell us about your new red hair! So prit.
SNOOKI: I like to change it up a lot. I don't like to look the same all the time, so on the show airing right now you see my blonde [hair], and then I went to a black-blue. I just feel like I needed a change, so I did red. I wanted a sexy Poison Ivy look.
How long did your new 'do take?
I got there at 10 and I left at 5, so it's not that bad. If you want good hair, you gotta do what you gotta do.
A-GREED. So, let's talk about why we're here—you just launched your second fragrance and two brand new nail polish collections. I mean, between your flip-flop line, accessories line, handbag line, and sunglasses line, you're practically becoming the next Jessica Simpson!
That's definitely my goal. I thinks she's amazing—starting out with boots and purses and now she has everything. I would love to be on that level because I love fashion, and I would love to just design everything.
Tell us the inspiration behind your first nail polish collection!
Well, right now I'm wearing All That Glitters [ed note: see below], which is my holiday collection. I don't want it to look like every nail polish. I name everything, and I design everything—from the packaging to the bottles.
A close-up of Snooki's nails.

Wow, you totes do it all. How did the scented top coat come about?
I just like to be different, and I want to be unique with my products. I know there's a few scented nail polishes, but you can have any color, and then you can have the good scent on top of it. It has a fruity smell.
Oooh, and you're also releasing animal print nail decals too? What's the inspiration behind those?
Well, I love leopard print, and I love bling, so I just added both.
Simple enough! Why is nail art important to you?
I feel like nails are an accessory. You have your jewelry, but your body is also an accessory. You have to get your nails done.
Where do you get nail art inspiration?
I just Google a lot and think, "Oh, I like that! How can I make it my own?" Then I 'twerk it a little bit.
'TWERK IT. So tell us, how is your second fragrance, Snooki Couture, different from your first?
My first is more fruity and like cotton candy, and this one is more sexy and mature, but still fun.
What kind of girl would buy this fragrance?
I always say my products don't discriminate against anybody, so anyone from 13 to 60 can wear it. I have a lot of gay friends, and they wear my perfume all the time. So anybody can rock it.
Snooki fragrance and nail polish collection.

OK, we can't stop staring at your hair. How do you get those oh-so-perfect waves?
I do it myself with a curling iron. It takes me half an hour. I love doing my own stuff. I do my own makeup, my own hair.
Every day?
Yeah. I get antsy.
Wow, we wish we had those kind of skills. What's the most amazing piece of inexpensive clothing you've bought recently?
I buy a lot of cheap things. I'm a very cheap person—I'm a bargain shopper.
What about beauty products?
That's probably the one thing I spend a lot of money on. When it comes to clothes and accessories, that's when I bargain shop. I went to Love Culture recently—it's like a Forever 21. They had amazing cheap things. I got these pants there, this blouse—everything.
What a steal. Before we go, we just HAVE to ask: Will there ever be a Snooki clothing line?
Yes, I'm praying. I'm hoping it'll happen soon.
What's the possibility, here?
[Publicist: "I feel like 98%."] It'll be cheap, affordable, like Forever 21, but Snooki—shoes, flip-flops, bags, platforms. Good stuff.
The Snooki Couture fragrance and All That Glitters holiday nail set are available to purchase on HSN.com, while the rest of her nail polishes, decals and acrylic nails will available to buy on Perfumania.com starting Nov. 23.

HEDGESVILLE - A group of students at Hedgesville High School has been given an opportunity to correspond online with professionals from around the state about post-secondary education and career goals. W.V. eMentoring, a program of the Education Alliance, was implemented Friday in the Eastern Panhandle for the first time.
Jessica Wintz, director of the program, said it was first piloted in 2011 in response to research that showed students who don't think about long-term academic and professional goals early on are more likely to drop out of school.
"We see a need that students should realize the importance of having a career goal and also realizing there's more than one option available for students after high school," Wintz said.

Jessica Wintz, background, of the West Virginia Education Alliance, and Christi Heaton, foreground, of the Berkeley County Board of Education, assist a Hedgesville High School student Friday during the first session of W.V. eMentoring. The program is set up to help 9th- and 10th-grade students gain exposure to possible career fields and create academic goals related to them. Hedgesville is the first school to come onboard with the program in the Eastern Panhandle.
Ninth- and 10th-graders who are participating in the 11-week program expressed interest in a variety of careers during Friday's orientation session, from veterinarian to music critic to mechanic.
The program matches students with professionals statewide based on their academic interests, career aspirations and hobbies. Students are provided with six choices for their mentor, but can also follow five other professionals who might be in related fields or one that is totally different. Correspondence is accompanied by weekly activities related to students' desired career tracks.
Students said they were skeptical of the program initially, while some worried eMentoring would be boring and a waste of time. However, after the orientation session, students said they changed their minds.
"I'm looking forward to seeing what my mentor says," said Lauren Brooks, whose mentor writes for crime investigations.
Amber Avent, who said she wants to be a kindergarten teacher, echoed Brooks' worry that the program wouldn't be fun. She said she enjoyed Friday's orientation session.
"It's going to be fun, and I hope my mentor gets back with me," Avent said.
The eMentoring program was piloted in four schools in southern West Virginia, but has since grown to service 10 high schools across the state. Hedgesville High School is the first to come onboard in the Eastern Panhandle, Wintz said.

Thai Peanut Sauce Chicken and Coleslaw for National Peanut MonthOle & Shaina Olmanson
Did you know that March is National Peanut Month? If you're like most Americans, you potentially grew up on a diet of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. In my house it was actually peanut butter and honey, but that's neither here nor there. The point is, while you could celebrate National Peanut Month with a bit of sugar-laden peanut butter and oozing grape jelly pressed between two pieces of white bread, your tastes have likely matured. Maybe I could interest you in a plate of peanut-glazed chicken and tangy coleslaw instead.
Thai Peanut Sauce Glazed Chicken Breasts
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup San-J Thai Peanut Sauce, divided
Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag with ¾ cup of the Thai Peanut Sauce. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 12 hours.
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and brush off any excess. Discard the marinade. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and grill for 6 minutes. Turn and grill for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through completely and the juices run clear. As the chicken grills, use ¼ cup San-J Thai Peanut Sauce as a basting sauce, liberally brushing the sauce occasionally over the chicken.
Makes 4 servings.

1 cup shredded cabbage
1 cup shredded carrots
Mix liquid aminos, apple cider vinegar, rice vinegar, Szechuan sauce, powdered peanut butter, Thai seasoning, garlic powder and stevia together, pour over raw vegetables and enjoy!

I have to add that this is the recipe I make most off of this site since it's very inexpensive and a no brainer to make. I always have some of these crackers on hand and try various toppings on them. They rock.
These came out pretty good and were so easy to make.
you changed your picture! ;) i was used to seeing the other one.... oh, and i like the recipe too! ;) will try that for sure now that i have my brand new dehydrator. :D
If you like this recipe, try the "sun-dried tomato bread":http://www.therawtarian.com/community/recipe/sun-dried-tomato-bread as well. I love it!
I like these, there are yummy!
Yeah, the crackers are pretty crunchy out of the dehydrator. You can still break them apart when they're dry, but they're pretty jagged. Still yummy!
oh wait...are these too crunchy to do that?
or if you forget to do that...you can use a pizza cutter.

I meant to say rectangles. When I break them up they come out like triangles.
How did you get them to be perfect triangles?
For a little variety, I soaked 1/2 cup of finely chopped onion along with the sun-dried tomatoes. I eat these often so always looking for slight changes to keep it interesting. They're so great with a super salad!

"Today, we would have to say that the threat to world peace in many cases, tragically, emanates from those who claim that they speak in the name of God," Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean and founder of the Wiesenthal Center, told a group of distinguished spiritual and political leaders who gathered at the museum on May 5 (for a roundtable discussion). Packed into a small, dark conference room on the upper level of the museum, a group of dignitaries determined to combat global intolerance and violence proved that although there are hard questions to answer, dialogue is a key component in elucidating what different faith communities have in common.
The center brought together Kyai Haji Abdurrahman Wahid, former president of Indonesia; Lord George Carey of Clifton, archbishop of Canterbury emeritus; and the Rev. Patrick Desbois of France, to bestow them each with medals of valor for their humanitarian work, presented at the center's National Tribute Dinner on May 6, which also honored Hollywood heavyweight Amy Pascal.
"As you recognize the strength of someone else's faith, you may recover greater confidence in your own," said Carey, who has devoted his life to bridging the gap between Islam and the western world. At the behest of Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, he established the Alexandria Process, an initiative that coalesces Jewish, Christian and Muslim religious leaders for peacemaking efforts in the Holy Land. But in 2004, during a four-day conference in Cairo, Egypt, moments of stark divisiveness prompted some leaders to walk away from the table.
Carey once found himself at a similar crossroads when the Anglican Church, over which he presided for more than a decade, voted to divest from doing business with Israel. But instead of walking away, Carey publicly criticized the Church of England for aligning themselves with one cause over another.
"How can we promote peace if we take sides?" Carey asked.
"The real test is to have a dialogue that works from our own attachment to our own faith, but at the same time, from a very deep understanding of other faiths."
The problem that we face, he said, is not merely that the issues are challenging, but that many influential leaders remain silent in their stead.
Although the assembly praised Carey's message, many wondered how to engage with a leader like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who openly denounces the Jewish state -- and isn't exactly a candidate for friendly dialogue. Avoiding the question, Carey downplayed the longevity of political leaders and suggested starting at the local level by building relationships with Iranian citizens.
Which is precisely what Wahid, who served as president of Indonesia from 1999 to 2001, has been doing within his country. Since 1984, when he became head of Nahdlatul Ulama, an umbrella organization overseeing 14,000 Muslim madrasas that serve as the center of study for Muslim theology, he began reforming the nation's largest educational and social welfare system. He engaged in a public denunciation of Holocaust denial in the Muslim world and convened a multifaith conference where, for the first time, a Holocaust survivor delivered personal testimony that was broadcast throughout the Arab world on Al Hurra satellite TV.
While Wahid has built bridges among different faiths, the obstacle that remains is narrowing the gender divide perpetuated by Islam.
Working closely with his wife, Nuriyah Wahid, a staunch advocate for women's rights in Indonesia, the former first couple intends to change the culture of Muslim theology, beginning with the Quran.
"To this point the Quran has been interpreted by men," Nuriyah Wahid said through a translator at the museum's afternoon reception. "The Quran itself does not distinguish between men and women, and men are using their interpretation to promote their own interests. This has to be straightened out."
The importance of tolerance and openness in today's increasingly intolerant world was the theme of the dinner the following day, where a mix of Hollywood denizens, Holocaust survivors, politicians and the center's wealthy donors gathered for the award ceremony in the ballroom of the Regent Beverly Wilshire hotel.
At the event, $2 million was raised for the Wiesenthal Center, which recently inaugurated the museum's newest addition, a life-size replica of Simon Wiesenthal's office from Vienna.
After a short presentation on his support for Israel, Rabbi Hier introduced a frail and wheelchair-bound Wahid, who received a standing ovation.
"If we as a people are dedicated to openness, we have to recognize Israel -- there is no other way," said a weak-voiced Wahid, who was scheduled to attend a press conference in Israel following his visit to Los Angeles.
With a captive audience, Pascal, the Sony Pictures Entertainment co-chair, said she was "daunted" by the honorees before her. She shared her vision of Hollywood as an industry that values collective responsibility -- a medium that entertains, but also tells the truth.
"Being a good Jew means supporting people and causes not when it's in our self interest," she said. "Survival is a privilege that entails obligation. Every day God gives us the opportunity to do the right thing and at least one day, we should take it."

Sales of Phillies tickets are lagging well behind the pace of the last few seasons.
But nobody's panicking at Citizens Bank Park, according to John Weber, vice president for sales and ticket operations.
And fans should see this as an opportunity - with seats available for every game, he said.
Last year, five games - the Red Sox games, two bobblehead giveaway dates, and the game where kids can run the bases - were gone by mid-February, less than a week after the Phillies put single-game tickets on sale.
Today, any game - including those with Cole Hamels and Carlos Ruiz bobbleheads - can still be purchased individually, except for Opening Day, which is part of a Six Game Pack.

You may be tempted to overfill your agenda today so that you can work through your obligations with a minimum of fuss today. As the day wears on, you will likely find that the hyper mood that convinced you that you could handle so much labor begins to flag. The appointments and phone calls you may have looked forward can seem like nothing more than another hassle. To recover your energy and regain your enthusiasm, you will likely need to fit regular periods of relaxation into your schedule. Once you accomplish this, you may feel less of the frenzied energy that initially motivated you, but your ability to meet your goals will likely be greater.
Increasing productivity is one way to reach long-term goals more quickly, yet the resultant busywork can also derail our efforts by exhausting us to the point of imposed inactivity. We must strive for balance in our lives if we wish to attain those ambitions most important to us without sacrificing our welfare and happiness. This is easier said than done, however, as we feel compelled to push ourselves regularly to the limits of our strength and endurance. We need only integrate leisure time into our schedules in proportion to the labor we shoulder on a daily basis. Whether this means taking numerous short breaks during the day or designating weekends as a work-free zone, our quest for equilibrium will contribute to our efforts rather than hamper them. Though you feel hyper today, remember to give yourselves plenty of opportunities to rest.

"Variér Peel" is an innovative and creative chair with a strong identity. Its profile and asymmetrical form draws attention, and its concept creates associations. The idea behind the chair is the form of an orange peel, and it activates the enclosing and shielding character of a shell. "Variér Peel" is comfortable and offers opportunities for variations in sitting. It's a tilting chair, and the footstool can be used as separate sitting device. It is already an international success.

Unless you work in a blue-collar environment, chances are that you require the use of a computer for work. Many hours are spent in front of it and some days are more productive than others, but what cannot be contested, is the fact that it is a necessity. Since almost every computer is online or networked in some way, I'm surprised people still use telephones, especially within the same building. With high bandwidth internet connections and capable computer systems, video conferencing should be a lot more commonplace in a work environment.
Laptops and phones all come with built-in cameras now but for desktop users, adding webcam functionality doesn't have to be complicated. USB video class devices are capable of streaming video content and more importantly, driverless, plug and play functionality. Having such a diverse product line, it is no surprise that Rosewill offers an affordable HD webcam solution that would work well as an addition to the desktop experience.
The Rosewill RCM-3640HD UVC webcam is a plug and play device, ready to be used for video chat or conference calls online, without any driver installations. The Rosewill RCM-3640HD has a 2048 X 1536 pixels CMOS image sensor that can capture 30 FPS in 640x480 (VGA mode), as well as 1280x720. Higher resolution video capture in 1920x1080, 1600x1200 and 2048x1536 at 15 FPS is also possible. The Rosewill RCM-3640HD has auto focus, auto white balance, auto exposure control as well as a built-in microphone. The Rosewill RCM-3640HD comes bundled with ArcSoft's Webcam Companion 3.0 and has a 1-year warranty.

Museum exhibit opening
"Life and Limb: the Toll of the American Civil War" will open at the Ravalli County Museum on Thursday, July 25. The perspectives of surgeons, physicians, and nurses are richly documented in the history of Civil War medicine, which highlights the heroism and brutality of battlefield operations and the challenges of caring for the wounded during wartime. Yet the experiences of injured soldiers during the conflict and in the years afterwards are less well-known. "Life and Limb: The Toll of the Civil War" focuses on disabled veterans and their role as symbols of the fractured nation.
At the opening there will be lectures demonstrating some of the most advanced prosthetics available today, along with special guests whose lives have been greatly enhanced by these incredible devices. Call the Museum at 363-3338 or check www.brvhsmuseum.org for details. Exhibit runs through August 31.

Buy Local Auction
The Hamilton Downtown Association (HDA) will hold its "Buy Local Auction" during this year's Daly Days celebration on Friday, July 26 at 6 p.m. The auction will take place on the Main Street stage, with auctioneer Cliff Trexler presiding over the event.
The Hamilton Buy Local Auction is a way to keep shopping dollars local, according to Mike Barrett, the owner of Picturesque, Inc., on Hamilton's Main Street, and originator of the idea. He'd seen a similar promotion in Salt Lake City, and decided that it would work here.
The HDA printed large envelopes with the names of more than 40 participating local businesses. Shoppers can collect receipts, dated between July 29, 2012, and July 26 of this year, from those businesses. On the day of the auction, they can have those receipts verified and totaled at a booth on Main Street. They then have that verified amount to "bid" on items donated by the participating businesses.
Bidders may only "win" one item, ensuring that the largest number of people can take home an item. Those who fail to win a bid on any item will be entered into a drawing for a gift basket.
Items to be auctioned include gift certificates for clothing, food and beverages, services, artwork, jewelry, gifts, books, and much more. Auction items will be available for viewing on the day of the auction, along with a full list.
Barrett explained that the idea of the auction is to build customer loyalty for local businesses, and to promote the idea of buying locally.
"Buying locally keeps more money in the Hamilton economy, and supports the community as a whole," he said. Many of the participating businesses report that customers have bought there specifically to accrue receipts to use in the Buy Local Auction.
This is the third year for the auction. It has drawn large crowds in years past, although last year's event had a diminished crowd and a hasty pace, due to a threatening thunderstorm that had auctioneer Trexler watching over his shoulder, and bidders scurrying for shelter after their bids.
Envelopes with the names of participating merchants are still available at many locations citywide, but receipts may be presented without the envelopes. Names of participating merchants can be found on the "Events" page of the HDA website, www.hamiltondowntownassociation.org or on the Hamilton Downtown Association Facebook events page, and auction items will be posted there as well.
For more information, call the HDA at 360-9124.

The Bitterroot Community Band will present a concert on Friday, July 26 at 8 p.m. at the band shell at Claudia Driscoll Park in Hamilton. Admission is free. Come enjoy an evening of relaxing marches and traditional band fare.
Saturday, July 27

Remington Core-Lokt Managed Recoil loads.....check online or bass pro/cabelas etc...
July 20, 2010, 01:46 AM
If you handload you may want to try some of these "youth loads"
July 20, 2010, 02:14 AM
I have a friend who uses the Remington managed recoil rounds for his young kid to shoot in a .270, they do great if you don't want to reload.
July 20, 2010, 02:33 AM
or you could trade that 30-06 in for a .243. i'd guess that about all he's learning now is how to flinch and be disapointed with his shooting.
Art Eatman
July 20, 2010, 08:38 AM
Any '06 much under eight pounds is gonna kick the heck out of most anybody who's not overwhelmed with masochism.
Find a reloader or take up reloading. About 20 to 25 grains of 2400 behind a 150-grain bullet is a nice plinker (can use el cheapo 100-grain bullets, for that matter) and is a minimum deer load.
Dr T
July 20, 2010, 08:53 AM
I agree with blitzen. About 48 years ago (when I was 10) I picked up a tremendous flinch shooting a 30-06. It took me 10 years and a 6 mm Rem to get over it.
Smokey Joe
July 20, 2010, 09:55 AM
Blacktail Hunter--When my #1 son was 10 or 11, he fired my '06 once. (This is a rifle that I can shoot all day w/no ill effects--once ran off 100 shots, no problem, so it is a not particularly hard kicker.) The lad firmly announce to me that he'd just fired my '06 for the LAST time.
We spent the following year looking for a deer rifle for him; finally got him a Win Ranger Youth Mdl .243. He liked it from the git-go; shot it enough to get good with it, and every deer he pointed it at, died. The Ranger Youth is an ordinary Mdl 70 with a cut-down stock and a relatively short bbl; it fit him perfectly at 11 YO. Of course he eventually outgrew the stock, and we got him a full-size stock, which the rifle still wears. He still likes the rifle.
For the kid's sake, get the "managed recoil" rounds, or load up some yourself! If you can, reconsider what cartridge he should be shooting--there are several very good, deer-killing cartridges out there that are so much milder than the old Aught-Six.
July 20, 2010, 10:33 AM
Remington Core-Lokt Managed Recoil loads.....check online or bass pro/cabelas etc...
We use them in 7mm-08 and have killed a few deer no problem. Our boy just turned 12 and at 10-11 had no problem with the Rem Managed Recoil in 7mm-08. He's also quite small for his age. He has also killed one deer with a standard load .243 and that works too.
July 20, 2010, 12:41 PM
I started out with the 30-06 when I was 11 and I was tiny, that ruger m77 was as tall as me. I couldn't handle the factory 150 grain loads and had to do alot of shooting with a 22 and a 223 to loose the flinch I had devloped. My old man loaded up some 130 grain loads that were nice and light and by keeping my practice to a few rounds at a time I was able to shoot quite well, took over a year. I also shot my bb gun every day at rats and barn birds that tought me to get on target fast and get the shot off while not thinking about recoil.
I am 32 now and still have that old 06 and have killed alot of big game with it but now it fits me like it should. After going through all of that when (if I have a kid) I teach my kid to shoot a deer rifle I will buy a suitable/right size gun of a smallish bore, not an 06. I shot a .243 for the first time not to long ago and it was fun, very little kick and easy to shoot. Never killed any thing with one but I am propably the only one who hasn't.
July 20, 2010, 01:59 PM
No need to get a different gun, Remington's 125gr. Managed Recoil will be fine. Just make sure to get enough for him to practice and have some to hunt with. Managed recoil cartridges can be hard to find once the weather cools down and everyone gears up for hunting season.
July 20, 2010, 02:05 PM
They're spendy if you can find 'em... but the "Accelerator" rds by Remington are VERY recoil friendly. They're SMOKIN' fast at 4080fps, but at 55gr (.223 with a plastic sabot), it's about like shooting a .22-250
July 20, 2010, 02:11 PM
Accelerator not a good recommendation...no matter what he's trying to do with them
1. Target? -- inaccurate, hard to find and expensive
2. Deer hunting? -- inaccurate, bullets too light
3. Varmint hunting? -- see "target" ( :) )
I'm surprised Remington still makes these things...

I watched MANY caribou die with a single well-placed shot from an Accelerator out of my father's .30-06. Personally... I used my .22-250 for 'bou.
July 20, 2010, 03:18 PM
Buy a Lead-Sled and let him shoot it off the bench until he grows up some more.
As others have said, trying to get him to shoot a hard kicking riife like that at his age is not doing him any good a tall.
July 21, 2010, 10:37 AM
i dont know about the ammo but if you reload or know somebody that reloads you can get them very mild with gas checked cast bullets
July 21, 2010, 11:43 AM
You might have to order them online, but the reduced recoil (managed recoil) rounds will really help.
July 21, 2010, 12:49 PM
I've also seen that Federal offers a Fusion Lite now. I'd be more inclined to check into those over the Remington managed recoil loads.
July 21, 2010, 02:04 PM
we need to know if you reload your own ammo or are you stuck with factory rounds.
July 21, 2010, 02:37 PM
I've fired several of the 125gr managed recoil .30-06 and it felt .243'ish to me. My buddy uses them exclusively now for deer hunting due to his bad shoulder to good effect.
July 21, 2010, 02:47 PM
As we were about to field dress a whitetail doe, my then 14 y.o. son said "Dad, when we practiced with your 30-06, it beat the h*** out of me. When I shot this deer, I didn't feel nothin."
August 16, 2010, 08:53 AM
I put a youth stock on my Remington 700 BDL for my ten year old and he says the Remington Managed Recoil loads don't kick that much relative to his 20 ga. shotgun. My only complaint is that the rifle hates these light loads. The best group I was able to shoot was just under 4 inches the worst was almost 6 inches. I tried several times and free floated the barrel which did not help. I was able to shoot a 1" group with the same rifle on the same day with normal ammo. I figure it'll be OK for him to use since we'll be hunting in woods where at best one can see 70 yards. Although, I'm tempted to sneak him a normal round on the youth opener.
August 16, 2010, 11:22 AM
Although, I'm tempted to sneak him a normal round on the youth opener.
I'm tempted to do the same with the 7mm-08 when we go out for black bear this year. I have a box of Federals with the 140gr TSX. I just need to shoot a couple to ensure that the POI is similar enough to the managed recoil cartridges.
August 16, 2010, 12:44 PM
slip on a pachmayr decelerator and that should help. I personally think a kid at 10 shouldn't shoot anything bigger than a 308 but you already bought the gun and pad should help a lot.
August 16, 2010, 01:21 PM
My Speer manual (#12) has reduced loads. I loaded some 243's down for my buddies 8 year old grandson. He's killed 4 deer with them.
August 16, 2010, 01:36 PM
My 10 year old had the same trouble with a 308. I put one of these (http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0012758224114a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCHFEAT_all&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&Ntt=recoil+pad&Ntk=Products&sort=all&Go.y=8&N=0&Nty=1&hasJS=true&_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/search/search-box.jsp.form1&Go.x=10) one him him and he said it kicked like a 22.
I would definitely try one.
August 16, 2010, 01:44 PM
I would load some reduced loads. Even if you don't load currently the cheapest loading setup along with a box of bullets, a pound of powder, and 100 primers is going to be cheaper than 100 reduced recoil rounds and you get your pick of bullet. Load them down to .30-30 velocity and it should be a bit easier on the boy.

smooth and cheap
by Blumberg13427450
This is a big bottle of red if you are looking for quantity...and it actually happens to be great!
A bargin in taste
by hull12390649
We were very impressed with the overall taste of this one. Certainly one of the best for the buck. If you really like drinking shiraz, I think you'll find yourself going back for more. I'm buying a case of this stuff.
OK Flavor, Good Deal
by Shatzer12600943
2008 Considering the price, this is a pretty good wine. I got a fair amount of raspberry, a little spice and a plum finish. Didn't seem to do much for food, perhaps because the tannins were not too up front. But I'm sure there are better out there, even at this price point.
A bargin a twice the price!!
by Stevens11942077
A staple for my wine rack, this peppery medium bodied shiraz is personally favored with a sharp white cheddar. If you find you generally enjoy shiraz, you'll find that to open a bottle of Yellow tail, is to finish it - even if by the magnum. Rated: for surprize, enjoyment & price if not comparison - this Yellow Tail is a steal.

Stepping up an online campaign that has garnered well over a million views, the Cherry Hill father who sent his autistic son to elementary school wearing an audio recording device that he says captured staff being verbally abusive has posted a second video. In it, he names the teacher he says is on the recording and offers what he calls evidence that she still works for the district.
On Tuesday, the school district issued a statement saying that the people who were heard on the February recording "raising their voices and inappropriately addressing children no longer work in the district and have not since shortly after we received the copy of the recording" from Stuart Chaifetz.

Well, i guess this shows how out of it i am. It's my fiance's bday this weekend and he's not a gamer. At all. He can do the easy and quick, like the mini games that came w/ kinect and wii sports, stuff like that. Anyway he really got into the tank game on wii and found the ps3 version(downloadable). So, i got him some points. 'Till i realized i got them for the 360...from what i found(nothing, haha) they don't have this game. So, i'm left with points i'll never use. I'm personally not into downloading. If anyone wants to take this off my hands that would be awesome! I only got 1600($20) and i'd be happy to do paypal. If it'll make the deal sweeter, i'll throw in a mushroom ;). Other suggestions on how to spend these are also good i suppose.
In a different note, i finished the companion cube!! I've never really played this game but the person receiving it is a fan. This was made for a swap, but perhaps i'll make some for my shop. I'm wondering what i'll get(they know i <3 zelda).

Gov. Eliot Spitzer is expected to endorse Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in her presidential bid at the state Capitol next week.
Spitzer had thus far put off an endorsement, saying it was "premature."
"New Yorkers know first hand how effective Hillary is as a leader, which is why her support runs deep in this state," Spitzer said today. "As senator she has capably represented New Yorkers and together with countless other supporters, I look forward to sharing with the rest of the country the values and strengths that will make her an excellent president."
The noon event on Monday is expected to be attended by a host of other New York Democrats, including state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, Lt. Gov. David Paterson, state Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and state Senate Minority Leader Malcolm Smith.
For months, Spitzer has hedged about an endorsement of Clinton, who leads national polls for the Democratic nomination. New York Democrats have generally lined up behind Clinton with a few exceptions: state Sen. Bill Perkins, a former New York City Council member, recently endorsed Sen. Barack Obama's presidential bid.

Fort Payne was a small rural community, a little village of less than 500 people, surrounded by Wills Valley cotton fields. This was Fort Payne, A labama, in 1887. The families making their livelihood here included those of the McCartneys, Claytons, Greens, Duncans, Poes, Cravens, Garretts, Lyons and Smiths. Weather and crops were important topics of conversation, though some attention was given to news of the industrial growth in the Birmingham-Bessemer area of the Alabama mineral belt. But that was almost 100 miles away.
Rumors did persist that Fort Payne, too, was surrounded by rich mineral deposits. But none of the original residents here could have predicted the mad rush of prospecting, speculation and development which was soon to descend upon them. For, of all the industrial booms which developed in north Alabama towns thought to be possibilities for future "Magic Cities", Fort Payne's boom was by far the most colorful and spectacular.
The three-year boom period, which began in 1889, was to provide historians and amateur buffs with more absorbing factual material - as well as exaggerated myths - than had the whole previous fifty-year period beginning with the forced removal of the Indians.
But first, a brief summary of Fort Payne's earliest period reveals the following historical facts. In December 1869, the first post office was established in Fort Payne. Nicholson S. Davenport was appointed postmaster at a salary of $12 per year. The location of the post office changed many times during the 70's and 80's as the postmaster moved the office to his own home or place of business.
The coming of the railroad and the location of the county seat in Fort Payne served to attract merchants to the town. Among the first business establishments was a saloon operated by Jolly McCurdy, a one-armed former soldier, in a railroad shack. The leading store in the early l880's was a general store operated by J. E. Russell. He built up a thriving business by taking mortgages on farms and selling supplies to the farmers of the vicinity. There was also a firm named Nix and Quin, which changed about l885 to Quin and McArver. There were also grist mills which had been built by the Beeson and Hudson families in the 70's. The Fort Payne Journal was founded in 1873 by Thomas H. Smith. A Memphis lumber company set up a sawmill in Fort Payne about 1885 but closed it in 1887.
The first church in the vicinity of Fort Payne was a Cumberland Presbyterian church, established some time in the 70's and known as Union Church. lts building was used by other denominations until more churches were constructed in the 80's. A Missionary Baptist church, organized in 1885 by Reverend John B. Appleton and Bailey Bruce, was located on the corner of Spring Street and Gault Avenue. The upper story of the building was owned and occupied by the Masonic organization, which was the only fraternal organization of its kind in Fort Payne prior to the boom. The First Methodist Church of Fort Payne, also founded in 1885, was organized by John Norton and J. R. Williams. These three churches were active during the boom days which followed and have continued to serve Fort Payne ever since.
The first school in Fort Payne was located on the present site of the Dobbs sisters' home. The instructor, Mrs. Mary Childers, taught an ungraded school of about 18 students for one term in 1876. The following year the school was moved to the Presbyterian Church, where it remained an ungraded, one-teacher unit. John Hammak taught 30 or 35 scholars there. Around 1880 the school was moved to the site now occupied by John B. lsbell's residence, where it served Fort Payne until the boom days.
Thus Fort Payne, with its small school, one church building and few businesses, had not grown much in its half century of existence and remained an unincorporated village when wealthy and ambitious men focused their attention upon some mineral samples from a ridge and devised fantastic plans for a giant manufacturing city.
Four men, Milford W. Howard, C. O. Godfrey, W. P. Rice and J. W. Spaulding, were responsible for the speculation mania which was touched off in Fort Payne in l889.
Howard, a restless and imaginative young attorney, had for some time been busily proclaiming the advantages of Fort Payne as a manufacturing center. His ideas appealed to Major C. O. Godfrey of Massachusetts, who was interested in lucrative investments for eastern capital. Through the Fort Payne Land and Improvement Company which he organized, Godfrey secured an option on several hundred acres of land in the vicinity of town. Howard, though not directly connected with the company at that time, helped secure an option on the Duncan farm, located in what is now the center of the business district.
During the latter part of 1887, Frank Y. Anderson, affiliated with the Alabama State Land Company, entered into a partnership with Godfrey. But their efforts to promote the town were unsuccessful. The following year aid was sought from W. P. Rice, a New England speculator and former warden of the Vermont State Prison, who had made several successful financial ventures, especially in the field of banking.

About Intrinsic
Intrinsic were an obscure heavy metal band from Morro Bay, CA, that formed in 1984 and released an independent self-titled LP four years later, garnering a few positive comparisons to Metal Church's trad-metal approach, marked by occasional borderline thrashing. At the time of its release, the group was composed of vocalist Garrett Graupner, guitarists Ron Crawford and Michael Mellinger, bassist Joel Stern, and drummer Christopher Binns, but the first two had been replaced by Lee Dehmer, Jr. and Garrett Craddock, respectively, come 1990's Distortion of Perspective EP. This lineup struggled on unsuccessfully for a time, but the bandmembers eventually realized they had no better choice than to pack it up, leaving only a posthumous 1996 CD, appropriately named Closure, to be released in Japan. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi
