Flyers forward Vincent Lecavalier, who was injured during the line brawl with the Washington Capitals Friday, will miss Philadelphia's game against the Devils Saturday and has been listed by the team as day-to-day with a facial contusion.
According to TSN's Bob McKenzie earlier in the day, Lecavalier's injury could keep him out weeks instead of days.
Not sure what's already out there but sounds as tho PHI's Vinny Lecavalier will be sidelined at least a couple of weeks. Injured in fight.— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) November 2, 2013
Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren also updated the status of Steve Downie, who was hospitalized after getting injured in a separate fight in Friday night's contest.
"Steve is doing better, he remains in the hospital and will be released tomorrow," said Holmgren.
The team says Downie is out indefinitely with a concussion, however, McKenzie reported that Downie may have also suffered a facial fracture of some kind.
No timeline yet on Downie injury but word is he's remaining in PHI hospital one more night. Suffered a facial fracture of some description.— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) November 2, 2013
That could lead to some lengthy time off.
Downie was acquired Thursday in a trade with the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for Maxime Talbot. Friday night's game was his first game with his new club.
So on top of losing to the Capitals 7-0, the Flyers are down two forwards including their leading scorer. Lecavalier has paced the lowly Flyers so far with seven points in nine games, including a team-best five goals.
Lecavalier already missed three games earlier this year with a lower-body injury.
The Flyers announced Saturday that they have recalled right wing Tye McGinn from the AHL. Prior to being sent down, McGinn scored three goals in four games with Philadelphia this season.
When it rains, it pours, especially when you're dumping buckets of water on yourself.

Just a touch here and a tweak there . . . .
MacKinlay Kantor, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, master storyteller, shows us how the South could have won the Civil War, how two small shifts in history (as we know it) in the summer of 1863 could have turned the tide for the Confederacy. What would have happened: to the Union, to Abraham Lincoln, to the people of the North and South, to the world?
If the South Had Won the Civil War originally appeared in Look Magazine nearly half a century ago. It immediately inspired a deluge of letters and telegrams from astonished readers and became an American classic overnight. Published in book form soon after, Kantor's masterpiece has been unavailable for a decade. Now, this much requested classic is once again available for a new generation of readers and features a stunning cover by acclaimed Civil War artist Don Troiani, a new introduction by award-winning alternate history author Harry Turtledove, and fifteen superb illustrations by the incomparable Dan Nance.
It all begins on that fateful afternoon of Tuesday, May 12, 1863, when a deplorable equestrian accident claims the life of General Ulysses S. Grant . . . .
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
MacKinley Kantor was born in Webster City, Iowa, on February 4, 1904. In 1934, he published Long Remember, which received numerous rave reviews and became his first bestseller. Ten years later, Kantor was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his novel Andersonville. He was one of the most well-known American writers during the 1950s and still remains one of the most respected Civil War authors to date. He died on October 11, 1977.
If the South Had Won the Civil War
The Past is immutable as such. Yet, in Present and in Future, its accumulated works can be altered by the whim of Time.…
As we enter the centennial of those military events which assured to the Confederate States of America their independence, it seems incumbent upon the historian to review a pageant bugled up from dusty lanes of the nineteenth century, to comment upon the actors appearing in such vast procession, and to inquire into the means by which they galloped toward fame or ignominy.
(If one would wish to apply this scrutiny to earlier epochs, he might in the same manner ask himself what would have befallen had winds not torn the canvas of the Spanish Armada?--had the Pilgrims landed on that Virginia coast for which they were originally primed?--had the boat bearing Washington capsized in the Delaware River?--had Pakenham been able to sweep triumphantly across the cotton-bale breastworks at New Orleans?)
Fruit of history contains many seeds of truth; yet unglimpsed orchards might have bloomed profusely in any season, were all the seeds planted and cultured before they dried past hope of germination.
Our American Civil War ended abruptly in July, 1863, with the shattering of the two most puissant armies which the North had been able to muster and marshal.
There was no more rebellion. Instead there had been a revolution, and the success of that enterprise now became assured--first, in Mississippi--and, almost simultaneously, some fourteen hundred miles away, among the green ridges which bend across the Pennsylvania-Maryland line.

Microfiber Elasthan/Stretch Tulle
Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
My measurements are 5"0 105lbs 28, 23, 32 and this fits me perfectly! The color is so beautiful, especially against my tan asian skin. Although I'm petite I have a long torso, but I have been getting tired of having to shorten the length of straps for an Adult Small in my leos or having to be self conscious of my leo falling down (especially for port de bras!) and I purchased this in an XS and it fits my long torso very well. The only issue with me is that I have a larger bum for my tiny frame and the skirt is a tad short for me (girls with smaller bums would be fine I'm sure) but I love this dress so much I will just find some lace trim or some matching trim to add to the length at the edge of the skirt. When initially trying on the dress I was a bit concerned that it could even fit over my hips but it is a bit stretchy and I was able to gently (without any trouble) put on.
Very gorgeous and I hope wear moi makes more ballet dresses for class!
Age: 19-21
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
This leotard is really pretty and I love the skirt that is attached!
Im a 5'2" and the small fits perfectly. My only complaint would be that it is a little bit uncomfotable because it is not really lined in the inside so it is sort of itchy but not to the point where i cant dance comfortably in it. love it!

Brainwave research considered valuable info
One day, Nielsen will know what you like before you do.
The Nielsen Co. has made an investment in NeuroFocus, which applies brainwave research to advertising, programming and messaging.
They plan to create consumer measurement based on neuroscience advances.
"This alliance will enable us to gather truly unique insights about consumers' attitudes and behavior about which they themselves may not even be fully aware, and will complement our other measures of consumer behavior," says Nielsen exec VP Susan Whiting.
NeuroFocus uses brainwave, eye-tracking and "skin conductance" measurements "to track the effectiveness of advertising, branding, packaging, pricing and product design across a broad range of consumer touchpoints."
Sounds a little more invasive than Nielsen diaries or people meters.
But unlike those styles of measurement, which can only measure viewership by program or by several-minute intervals, NeuroFocus is already able to measure consumers' attention, engagement and memory retention on a millisecond-by-millisecond basis.
People wear a baseball cap "embedded with sensors that track brain responses about 2000 times a second," the company says.
"NeuroFocus can precisely and instantaneously determine what parts of the messages they pay attention to; how they emotionally engage with them; and what is actually moved to memory," it adds.
George Orwell, eat your heart out.
Nielsen's relationship with NeuroFocus doesn't necessarily relate to TV ratings; after all, Nielsen's various companies measure a wide variety of consumer information.
But just imagine a world where NeuroFocus is used to directly measure the brain's reaction to TV shows. Perhaps Nielsen ratings that come out before a show actually airs. Talk about "fast nationals."

Woodbine: Tu Endie Wei retired from racing
ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Tu Endie Wei , who finished sixth here in last Sunday's Grade 3 Ontario Fashion at six furlongs, is headed for the breeding shed.
"She's sound and healthy, same as she was," said Reade Baker, who has trained the Kentucky-homebred Tu Endie Wei for owner Brereton C. Jones. "She just doesn't have that fire anymore."
Tu Endie Wei, by Johar out of Ms. Cornstalk, was Canada's champion 2-year-old filly in 2011, following in the footsteps of her half-sister Biofuel, the 2009 Sovereign Award winner in that division.
Racing for Jones and Baker, Tu Endie Wei won the My Dear, Ontario Debutante, and Glorious Song in her first campaign and added the Star Shoot and the Grade 3 Seaway this season, with all of those successes coming in Polytrack sprints at Woodbine.
Tu Endie Wei also finished second here in the Grade 3, 1 1/16-mile Selene and third in Belmont's Grade 3, six-furlong Victory Ride as a 3-year-old and will join her owner's broodmare band with a mark of 5-1-1 and earnings of $525,500 from 12 starts.

Man nabbed in drug sweep sentencedSeptember 05,2013Man sentenced
after drug sweep
SPRINGFIELD The first of three dozen suspected drug dealers arrested in Junes Operation Precision Valley sweep was sentenced Tuesday.
Joseph Morin, 30, of Springfield received a series of concurrent sentences of one to two years after pleading guilty to three felony counts of selling a narcotic and a misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct.
Detectives from the Vermont Drug Task Force said that on three separate occasions in April they arranged sting operations in which a police informant bought methadone tablets or prescription Tylenol 3 pills from Morin.
Speaking after the sentencing, Deputy States Attorney David Cahill said Morins sentence is likely to be relatively light compared to the other suspects because most of them are accused of selling harder drugs such as heroin and crack cocaine.
The disorderly conduct charge stemmed from an incident in the middle of South Street on May 10. Witnesses told police that Morin and another man showed knives during a heated argument.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A North Bennington man who had worked as a crossing guard for the Village School of...

LUBBOCK, TX – It might be one of the most anticipated home games of the Kliff Kingsbury era thus far at Texas Tech.
The Red Raiders (2-0) welcome in 24th-ranked TCU into Jones AT&T Stadium for what many are calling a rare Thursday night game.
Texas Tech is coming off an absolute beat down of Stephen F. Austin, 61-13, while TCU got its first win of the season with a 38-17 victory against Southeastern Louisiana.
Tonight's meeting between the Red Raiders and Horned Frogs (1-1) is the second since TCU joined the Big 12, and the first meeting was unforgettable.
If you forgot it was a 56-53 triple overtime victory in Dallas.
It will be an interesting battle at quarterback as TCU trots out Trevone Boykin and Tech will send out true freshman walk-on quarterback Baker Mayfield looking for his third-straight win.
Texas Tech and TCU square off at Jones AT&T Stadium tonight with kickoff set for 6:30 p.m. and the game can be seen on ESPN.

For 86 years, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has reigned as the city's most majestic building, a golden crown perched in splendid isolation atop its Fairmount hill. Yet, there is a good reason it is still sometimes called the "Greek garage." Inside, the great temple remains a work-in-progress.
Now, a plan to expand the museum by burrowing deep into its rocky hillside, conceived and designed by celebrated architect Frank Gehry, promises to remedy this unfinished business, completing and polishing the masterpiece in time for its centennial in 2028.
Though no start date has been announced, museum director Timothy Rub revealed Thursday that architects were wrapping up construction drawings, a prelude to actual construction. In a lengthy interview, Rub gave the most extensive outline to date of the museum's plans.

I carry a kershaw leek and I really like the Spring assist .. Is there other decent priced spring assisted knives I should look at?? Thanks!

Well, what's 'decent'?
And, do you know about online resources like this?
And this?
Do you want something bigger, or smaller, or different from your leek (which I agree, is a great and fun little knife) in any particular way? 'Cause the answer to your question is Yes, there are Too Many to Name: so tell us a bit more!
February 7, 2008, 10:35 PM
Around the same price as the kershaw but equal (or better) quality .. I just want a little variety ..
February 7, 2008, 11:21 PM
At that price point, and limiting your search to spring-assisted knives, my experience is that kershaw is your best bet. How's something like this strike you?
February 8, 2008, 01:22 AM
If you like the Leek, they have some larger assisted models that work well, too.
However, recently I've found the Kershaw "Needs Work" to be a surprisingly useful knife. It's not pretty (it has the kind of ugliness that people call "rugged") but it snaps open briskly and fits the hand well.
It has the Speed Safe assist system, and a nice medium-sized modified Wharncliffe blade. (I believe they it call a sheepsfoot, but I disagree. It has more of a point than a sheepsfoot. It's not a "classical" Wharncliffe, as it's hollow ground rather than flat.) YMMV.
Made in USA, if that matters to you.
I have found a local source that sells them for about $30, which is a nice price.
I have one, and I've given two as gifts (to a couple of gunnies I know).
I'll be getting another soon, before someone wises up and raises the price.
February 8, 2008, 09:28 AM
Timberline, SOG, Ka-Bar, Meyrco, Gerber, CRKT all have assisted openers in the same range as Kershaw.
February 8, 2008, 03:50 PM
I carried a Kershaw Blur in a back pocket and a Scallion in my watch pocket for 4+ years. The Blur's inset rough sandpaper-like skateboard tape eventually eased - and they both needed sharpening, probably improved with 8/07 on 12c27 steel. They are depicted below with last spring's great <$40 purchase, an S30V Spyderco Native - and last summers Kershaw Damascus Leek - a steal then for <$70 - with Damascus made in Alabama (That was a short run - 8-9/07.). It was a great knife year!
Wally World did carry the Blur, too. All of the above were made in the USA - the Spydie even states 'Earth'!

I too carry a Leek but can recommend the assisted carry knives (outburst) by Columbia River Knife and Tool. Recently got this CRKT Hissatsu Folder and like it a lot.
February 9, 2008, 12:45 AM
I've got a sog flash II and carry it pretty much every day so that says something, I've got alot of other knives to choose from I love SOG though CRKT does make nice stuff too, some of it in taiwan, not sure about SOG but i think they're all US made

CRT's screws come loose, I have several and will probably buy some more. I love them in particularly the M-16 model. Locktite does well to correct that problem before it starts. I really like the rotating lock that prevents accidental folding under impact. Blitz

Assuming conferences are like cons, something that will remind me to eat every four or five hours. Which, obvs, can come with any number of tech gadgets, but without it I really do forget and then can't figure out why I'm crashing so hard.
These are all good suggestions... +Heather Barmore I use Tripit but have never thought of getting a specific app by airline!
+Liz Henry I use the SWA app at least once a week. Or else I'd never know when my flights are. Seriously.
I also started using Instagram during conferences. There's a small enough group of people in there, you can meet new and interesting people who have iPhones. I plan to take pictures during the conference and tag #BlogHer11 with those pics. Following hashtags inside Instagram is fun!
+Adina Levin Yes I have that bit already in the post! I think Huddles would be great as a conference backchannel but also for small groups who intend to go to dinner or something like that!
Here's the post! Thanks for the tips, y'all!

With the knowledge evolution about everything in nano, the various disciplines of nanoscience and nanotechnology have seen enormous growth and the advent of various revolutionary technologies. In this module development with the help of 3D visualization, the important concept and phenomenon such as, how small is "small", why nano is a magic number, the dramatic increase in surface area thereby exposed atoms by dicing a cube into tons of tiny cubes at nanoscale. In addition to the introduction of the basic concepts of the nanoscience, the module further define the difference among nanoscience, nanotechnology, and nano-engineering. Nanoscience is the study of material properties and behaviors at the magic nanoscale, which is different from bulk materials.

How Catalyst Works in Water Splitting—Improving Performance with Nano-Scale Structures
In this lesson, we chose water splitting to demonstrate how a catalyst works. With the assistance of a catalyst, water molecules can be quickly split into hydrogen and oxygen molecules using electrolysis. Platinum (Pt) is an excellent catalyst for hydrogen and oxygen generation from a water splitting reaction. Platinum is also a chemically stable electrode to prevent corrosion under harsh conditions. In this lesson, electrocatalytic activities of Pt in water splitting reaction are clearly demonstrated by comparing reaction rate between simple stainless steel wires and Pt wires as metal electrodes. The surface area is important for a catalyst to speed up chemical reactions. By roughing the surface of Pt wires, the rate of splitting water can be further enhanced because of increased surface area.

Mad Scientist Jam Too!
This activity will serve as an interactive culminating activity for surface area. Specifically, the students will get an opportunity to create a rap, song, or chant utilizing information they have learned and discussed about surface area. Students may use notes or other information approved by the teacher on surface area. Teachers may allow students to incorporate instrumental music to enhance the activity. All performances will be videotaped. This activity was created for a module entitled Exploring the Surface Area with the Mad Scientist (TU Math & Science Partnership Project).

Mr. Alka-Seltzer Plus
The rate at which a chemical reaction will proceed is directly related to the amount of surface area of the reactants present. Changing the amount of surface area of one of the reactants present will change the amount of time it takes for the reaction to occur. When too much acid builds in your stomach, it will tend to feel upset. Medicine such as, Alka-Seltzer, has been developed to relieve your upset stomach. This experiment will explore the rate at which an Alka-Seltzer tablet will cure an upset stomach based on the amount of surface area each tablet possess.

The Balloon Inflator
This experiment is designed to demonstrate the effect that surface area has on a gas releasing chemical reaction. In this experiment, carbon dioxide gas is released when vinegar (an acid) is mixed with baking soda (a base). Depending on the amount of surface area of the baking soda available to react, one chemical reaction will release gas faster than the other. This activity was created for a module entitled Exploring the Surface Area with the Mad Scientist (TU Math & Science Partnership Project).

What burns when a candle burns? An Introduction to Using the Scientific Method
In this hands-on lesson, the class is divided into small groups and required to use the scientific method to discover what burns in a candle and why. The steps reinforce this methodical approach to solving what initially appears to be a simple question. In this exercise, students will use the scientific method to discover the purpose of a candle's wick and how radiation allows candle wax to change from solid to liquid to gas, thus allowing the wicking action necessary for combustion to occur.

The purpose of this Science NetLinks lesson is to help students understand that particle movement changes as a substance changes from one phase to another. Before this lesson, students should have been introduced to the notion that matter may go through different phase changes. They should understand that temperature plays an important role in what state a particular type of matter is found. Students should be familiar with solids, liquids, and gases. They should also understand that heating and cooling a system can impact the phase of that matter. Contains investigation / experiment.

In this lesson, from Xpeditions, students conduct a simple experiment demonstrating the variable densities of corn syrup, water, glycerin, and vegetable oil. Students then transfer this concept to an examination of cleanup methods used in the Exxon Valdez oil spill. They conclude by writing paragraphs hypothesizing what would happen during an oil spill if oil and water were the same density and therefore mixed together easily.

Expert Reviews
Difficult to imagine that this portly coupe owes its heritage to the slim and trim '55 Thunderbird, which, over the years, grew by leaps and pounds. If you stick around long enough, you get to be called an icon and the liverspots become a symbol of survival. The '96 Thunderbird is an icon. Though carrying a proud name, the rear-wheel-drive car for years has been burdened by having to justify its existence in a front-wheel-drive world--especially in the Snow Belt. With traction control ($95), ABS ($570) and dual air bags (standard), there's little reason to fear treading on the highway when the seasons change,but getting that message across to the public is no easy task. Ford, however, has spent no time or effort trying to educate consumers. In the fall of '98, Thunderbird will visit the fountain of youth and borrowthe Taurus front-wheel-drive platform. In the process the 'Bird will shed somesize and weight and be limber and nimble enough to provide the ride, handling and performance of the younger Pontiac Grand Prix. It also means that those who rely on a T-bird to tow will have to move up to the rear-drive Ford Crown Victoria, though it, too, is earmarked for the Taurus platform in 1999. The T-bird's attraction now is the 4.6-liter, 190-h.p., V-8, which allows you to move from the line with little hesitation and tow a small boat or camper. The 17-mile-per-gallon city/25-m.p.g. highway fuel economy rating is decent. One drawback: you feel compartmentalized in the front seat by an instrumentpanel that protrudes well into the cabin. Base price of the Thunderbird LX we tested is $17,485, a sticker held down by making traction-assist and ABS options so as not to force the factory to bump up the cost by $665 but rather put the blame for a higher sticker on thecustomer. The list of options ($4,045 worth) took up more space on the window stickerthan the standard equipment. Consumers probably can expect to see more of thisploy by all automakers to keep base prices down and put the onus of higher prices on the consumer for choosing of options.

Just Eat went at least some of the way to justifying its sky-high flotation valuation after reporting a forecast-beating 51 per cent jump in orders. The online restaurant takeaway delivery service said trading in the first three months had been boosted by the wet weather in the UK and other northern European countries and the launch of an iPad app.
Shares jumped by 10p to 230p, up almost 5 per cent, although still well below the 260p they were floated at last month. At the launch price, Just Eat was valued at £1.47 billion, equivalent to a multiple of 104

Graef Crystal: Is He Paul Revere Or Benedict Arnold?
Balding, stocky, and disheveled, Graef S. Crystal hardly seems cut out for celebrity. Yet through his appearances on 60 Minutes, ABC News Nightline, and Good Morning America, the gadfly and guru of executive pay is getting more publicity these days than some who would be President.
A witty business-school professor, "Bud" Crystal is also incurring the wrath of a seemingly endless parade of chief executives, corporate lawyers, and pay consultants. The heat he's generating helped get him fired on Feb. 24 from his job as columnist for Financial World magazine. Moans Crystal: "I sense that people are starting to play hardball, and they are totally unforgiving about anything I do."
`FEEDING FRENZY.' Why the furor? Because in an election-year recession, executive pay suddenly has become a hot political issue--in part because of Crystal's agitation. It's an ironic turnabout for a consultant who for years strode into boardrooms to justify ever-higher compensation for the boss.
Crystal, 57, jokes about his "crossing the street," but few others are laughing. Some go so far as to blame him for the media's widespread coverage of the issue, for pending congressional legislation to limit executive pay, and for a Securities & Exchange Commission crackdown on pay practices at public companies. "He's an egomaniac," grouses Louis J. Brindisi Jr., a pay consultant in New York. "He has created a feeding frenzy, and he has opened the floodgates for the lunatics to get involved in executive pay."
Even big-name lawyers Martin Lipton, of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, and Ira M. Millstein, of Weil, Gotshal & Manges, have joined the harsh chorus. Lipton has circulated a paper on compensation that he says "exposes the fallacies" of the consultant's conclusions. Millstein has charged that Crystal unfairly singled out client Champion International Corp. Chief Executive Andrew C. Sigler as an overpaid executive. Rather than respond to Millstein's complaint privately, as the lawyer hoped, Crystal retorted that he would report on it in his newsletter. "Bud's contentious," says Millstein. "He decided to make this the cause celebre of the century."
UNFAZED. What makes the adjunct professor at the University of California at Berkeley so threatening is his intimate knowledge of pay practices and the stridency he brings to the debate. The latest brouhaha over his dismissal at Financial World was spurred partly by complaints from Phelps Dodge Corp. Chief Executive Douglas C. Yearley. He was miffed when Crystal overstated his pay last year by $3 million. Crystal concedes he mistakenly credited the executive with 59,000 shares of restricted stock instead of the 5,900 Yearley received. Yearley hired former New York Times chief counsel James Goodale to demand a retraction from Financial World. The magazine complied. Crystal also publicly apologized to Yearley at a mid-January conference at Northwestern University.
Yet the incident, confirms FW, eventually led to Crystal's ouster. "Bud does things that would be considered inflammatory, and it probably didn't help his cause," says Douglas A. McIntyre, president of Financial World. It's not Crystal's first run-in at a magazine. Only last June, he quit a similar job at Fortune after alleging editorial interference over his conclusion that Steven J. Ross, CEO of Fortune's parent, Time Warner Inc., is overpaid.
Crystal promises no letup. He's already booked for Larry King's radio show and expects to address the Senate Finance Committee. They will be appearances that can only add to his notoriety.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Europe' started by ALLGRAINBREWER, Sep 5, 2012.
I'd like to know the best beer bar in Salzburg.
The Augustiner monastery in Mülln is one of the best places in the world to drink a beer. They only have the one, Märzen, but it's wonderful.
Don't expect to find a bar with dozens of different beers. That's not how things work in Austria. Sternbräu has a bout the biggest range, but it's still no more than about a dozen in total.
I agree. The monastery is great. Awesome outdoor beer gardens. Wash and pour your own mugs. Wish I had more when we were there .
A third vote for Augustiner. It's a can't miss in Salzburg. I'd also recommend going to Stiegl's pub/restaurant that is located on the walk up to the fortress. There is a great terrace that looks out over the old town square. Maybe not the best beer around, but absolutely worth it for the view/atmosphere. The building itself is very cool too.
Run, don't walk, to Augustiner. Enjoy the variety of butchers and bakers that sell snacks in the beer hall; pay for a ticket and then grab your liter ceramic mug, rinse it yourself at the old stone sink, and hand it over to be filled with Maerzen from the wooden keg. Then walk back to a shady spot under the chestnut trees, sit down, and settle in for the long haul. Any thoughts of U.S. beer bars with their 100s of taps should now be 1000s of miles away.
p.s. Not me in the video, just pulled it from the internets.
Let me add my vote & praise for Augustiner. It is one of the best places in the world to grab a beer. Also, take some time and walk around the various rooms. Hope it is nice enough for you to sit out in the beer garten!
How much is a round trip ticket to Austria? After watching the little video above, I have a strong urge to go!
Much less than a membership in the Bruery's Horders Society at $2,000 (http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/bruery-hoarders-society.35349/)

In spite of the sharp declines in arrivals during the political crisis months of May and June 2010, international visitor arrivals in the first four months of this year were still high enough to allow the country to enjoy a 13.70% increase in total arrivals in the first half.
Figures tabulated by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports in January-June 2010, showed total arrivals by nationality of 7,515,025 up from 6,609,313 or up 13.70% over the same period of 2009.
This is because arrivals in the first half of 2009 had been hit by the impact of the global financial and economic crisis prevailing at the time, making this year's rate of increase relatively high over a low base figure. It also reflects the fact that while arrivals to Bangkok were significantly affected, arrivals to Phuket remained relatively buoyant.
As the arrivals in June and July 2010 have picked up significantly, thanks to the launch of recovery programmes and a broad range of promotional packages, the Tourism Authority of Thailand officials are optimistic that it will still be possible to meet the year's total arrivals target of 14.5 million arrivals.
On each of the markets, the following performance analysis, based on the figures tabulated so far:
EAST ASIA: East Asian visitor arrivals to Thailand comprise the biggest market share of all visitors. Of the 7.5 million arrivals in January-June 2010, a total of 3.67 million were from the East Asia region. Malaysia topped the list with 930,660 arrivals, followed by Japan 475,386, China 471,462, and Korea 382,394.
EUROPE: The January-June period saw a good growth rate of 15.86% to 2.27 million. The United Kingdom is the largest source market out of Europe, with arrivals of 412,035, up 2.28%. Germany is Thailand's second highest source market from Europe with a total of 320,368 arrivals, up 15.89% over the January-June 2009.
Visitors from Russia to Thailand have been growing steadily over the past few years. In the early days, Russian visitors began flocking on charters to Pattaya to escape the harsh winters. Today, they have become mainstream travellers. In January – June 2010, Russian visitors to Thailand totalled 305,415, up 102.28% over the same period of 2009.
THE AMERICAS: Arrivals in January-June 2010 saw an increase of 3.64% to 431,381. The main market, the US, increased by 1.95% to 310,454. Arrivals from both Brazil and Canada showed positive growth of 17.29% and 3.88%. Thailand's image of good value for money remains a powerful magnet that continues to attract tourists.
SOUTH ASIA: Arrivals in January-June 2010 grew by a strong 15.99% to 446,935 with all markets doing well. India has become a primary market with arrivals up by 18.39% to 344,063, making it the region's fastest growing market. Thailand is enjoying huge popularity among Indian niche markets; such as, weddings and honeymooners.
OCEANIA: Arrivals in January-June 2010 grew by 11.87% to 367,540 visitors. Australian visitors were up 13.00% to 326,084 and New Zealand +3.00% to 40,255. This is largely due to the influx of low-cost airlines like Jetstar into Phuket.
MIDDLE EAST: Arrivals in January-June 2010 grew by a strong 22.20% to 261,657 with all markets showing a positive growth. One of the most promising is Iran with arrival only at Suvarnnabhumi airport up by 51.86%.
AFRICA: Arrivals in January-June 2010 were up by 21.71% to 56,908. South Africa is a major market and has showed significant growth of 39.09% to 23,434. It is expected to perform strongly in the year ahead in the wake of relaunch of Thai Airways' flights to Johannesburg.
Source: Ministry of Tourism and Sports According to the TAT Governor Suraphon Svetsreni, the strong market recovery efforts being exerted by the Thai tourism private sector, Thai Airways International, as well as the high-profile promotions such as the "Thailand Today" mega-fam trip should make it possible to make up lost ground in the second half of this year.
Asian economies have showed steady economic improvements and the short-haul markets such as India, China and Indonesia are showing great promise. At the same time, the airline industry is adding more flights from key markets; such as, Australia, Japan, and Singapore. Many countries are also relaxing or withdrawing their travel warnings to Thailand, and new markets such as China, Russia and India are showing significant growth, Mr Suraphon noted.

Letters To The Editor Secret Weapon?
March 10, 1987
How ironically refreshing to read of Soviet youth rebellion spurred on not by None Dare Call It Treason books or smuggled Carl McIntire speeches but by new wave music - the likes of which is suppressed in America as well (witness popular rock-and-roll radio stations and the Grammys). Does this mean that President Reagan will summon the CIA to distribute anarchic hard-core music to Moscow instead of arms to win the cold war? No, he'll blow it and send over recordings by Bruce Hornsby and the Range.
Neisler Drexel's Secret Weapon
January 16, 1999
by Mike Kern, Daily News Sports Writer
Last Sunday at Hartford, Drexel's Ross Neisler scored 14 points in 25 minutes off the bench in a come-from-behind 17-point win. That was four more points than the senior guard had accumulated in the seven previous games in which he played this season. And two more than his previous career high, which he'd set 25 months ago, in the third game of his sophomore season. Last night at the Physical Education Athletic Center, the new sixth man in Bill Herrion's rotation had 17 points in 30 minutes as the Dragons extended their winning streak to six with a come-from-behind 80-67 America East victory over Boston University.
Bulldogs' Burns serves as team's secret weapon
September 26, 2009
By Phil Anastasia INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
She's the No. 2 singles player on the No. 1 girls' tennis team in South Jersey. Still, junior Meghan Burns is something of Haddonfield's secret weapon. "Sometimes I think people tend to overlook Meghan," Haddonfield coach Jeff Holman said. Burns was 31-8 at No. 3 singles last season. But while the addition of standout freshman Taylor Ng has resulted in other players moving down in the lineup, Burns has moved up. After what she described as "extremely stressful" challenge matches, Burns earned the No. 2 singles spot.
Penn Wood Unleashes Secret Weapon Tidwell

By Bill Doherty, SPECIAL TO THE INQUIRER
Not even Eric Tidwell could have imagined this two years ago. Then a sophomore, he was coming off the bench. For the junior varsity team. Now, two years later, he is Penn Wood's secret weapon. The guy who delivers the sucker punch. Other teams gear their defensive schemes to stop senior shooting guard Steve Alston, the team's leading scorer, and junior Richard Barnes - Penn Wood's chief inside threat. Then the game starts. And the opposing coach is left asking himself: Who is this No. 21?

Maybe it was the rollicking, bopping Chinese dragon, or the German beer, the raw tuna or reggae. Maybe it was the earthy, good-natured embrace of the place - Philadelphia's Reading Terminal Market. But it was hard to believe Monday night that somehow the city isn't going to make it. If the day's inaugural speeches were sober, reminding the citizenry of the red ink, the tough choices, the ticking clock, this last gala of Mayor Rendell's day tapped into something giddier: It showed off the city's richest treasure - it's unextinguished, unblunted capacity to, well, be a Big City, with all the starry-eyed, old-movie excitement those words once conjured up. Some of the lift came, of course, from the headiness of a fresh start, the glitter of the crowd, the offerings - from dozens of world-class restaurants - of feathery-light coconut shrimp, juicy escargots, Mexican cuisine, carts of pastry, drop-dead chocolate torts, china cups of capuccino.
Virga Uses Secret Weapon To Lead Amateur Qualifiers
August 8, 1989
By Frank Lawlor, Inquirer Staff Writer
After he won the 36-hole sectional qualifying tournament for the U.S. Amateur Championship yesterday, Rudy Virga hesitated a moment before disclosing his "new secret. " On second thought, he relented. "Ah, I don't care if these guys know," Virga said, gesturing toward a crowd of golfers anxiously monitoring the results board at Rolling Green Golf Club in Springfield, Delaware County. "It'll give them something to think about. " So it may. Virga, 22, attributes a recent string of his best rounds ever to a series of "sports enhancement" audio and video tapes he has been listening to and watching for about eight months.
Moles Find His `Pesticide' Impossible To Swallow The Secret Weapon? Juicy Fruit Gum, Wielded By A Pemberton Township Councilman.
February 1, 1999
By Karen Masterson, INQUIRER SUBURBAN STAFF
In this township of 32,000, beyond the commercial corridor of Route 38 and amid rich Pinelands soil, a typical problem burrows just below the surface. Moles, the bane of lawn caretakers, dig crisscrossing tunnels. But unlike other municipalities, Pemberton has mole aficionado John W. "Bud" Clark, a councilman, who deploys a special weapon against the blind and carnivorous mammals. He kills them with Wrigley's Juicy Fruit chewing gum. The taste and smell seem to attract moles, but the gum sticks in their digestive systems.

Clad in their unofficial uniform of weathered work boots, jeans, athletic gear and baseball caps, they are a ragtag, nearly secret guerrilla squad in Philadelphia's 1999 mayoral war. On this sunny and brisk March Saturday, just like on every other weekend afternoon since late January, about 30 of them have shoehorned into a tiny storefront on Frankford Avenue in Mayfair to hear their marching orders - getting rowhouse Republicans to switch parties...
Warfare's Well-kept Secret Weapon If It's Massacred Civilians You Want, Try A Cluster Bomb.
May 20, 1999
By Norman Solomon
Hi! My name is CBU-87/B, but let's not be formal. A lot of my friends call me Cluster Bomb. I've been busy lately, doing what I'm supposed to. And I sure appreciate the careful treatment I receive from the American news media. My pals at the Pentagon put me in the category of a "Combined Effects Munition. " My maker describes me as an "all-purpose, air-delivered cluster weapons system. " Not to brag or anything, but such labels don't do me justice. When I explode, the results can really be quite awesome.
At Last, Hughes Reveals Himself As Secret Weapon The Sixers Rookie Has Come Into His Own In The Last Few Games. ``he's Really Improved,'' Larry Brown Says.
April 16, 1999
By Stephen A. Smith, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Just 12 games and 19 days remain in this lockout-shortened season, and the 76ers have finally found an alternative scoring weapon to Allen Iverson. It's the one they've been waiting for all along. Drafted in June as the No. 8 overall pick, rookie Larry Hughes was supposed to be Iverson's sidekick, the extra ball handler and sharpshooter who would team with him for alley-oop slams and an abundance of victories. For most of the Sixers' 38 games, that wasn't the case. Instead, Hughes, without the visible intensity coach Larry Brown craves, found himself lost in the shuffle, far from the center of attention he was used to in high school and college.

The secret weapons of Arden's 'Secret Garden'
May 18, 2016
By A.D. Amorosi, For The Inquirer
At the Arden Theatre, a rich array of local acting talent is cultivating The Secret Garden , the Marsha Norman/Lucy Simon musical, innovatively co-conceived by Jorge Cousineau and company artistic director Terrence J. Nolen. In the show, based on Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1911 novel, vocal powerhouses Jeffrey Coon, Alex Keiper, and Steve Pacek sing of illness, loneliness, and neglect in the setting of a gloomy Yorkshire estate in the early years of the 20th century. Each Philadelphia thespian has showstopping moments of Celtic pop song.
Temple hoops star's secret weapon
March 11, 2015
BY ED BARKOWITZ, Daily News Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com
TEMPLE WAS sleepwalking through the first half of a late-season contest against lowly Houston in a game the Owls had to win. The Cougars came into the Liacouras Center with a 1-13 league record and a 9-17 mark overall, but they were the hungrier team and took a five-point lead into halftime. Coach Fran Dunphy didn't seem overly concerned. He told the Owls to just stay the course. Dunph can get on his players with the best of them, but coaches can't scream and yell all the time. It will diminish the message and burn the players out. So point guard Will Cummings brought the heat.
Gov. Corbett's secret weapon?
September 27, 2013
By Chris Brennan
CLOUT HAS a question: Is the Pennsylvania Democratic Party the one thing Gov. Corbett has going for him in his bid for a second term next year? Corbett, a Republican, is routinely listed as one of the nation's most vulnerable incumbents for 2014. And he is under constant attack from his party's right wing. (We're looking at you, state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe , a Butler County pol who clearly despises the government that has issued him a paycheck for the past 14 years.) Smelling blood in the water, eight Democrats have declared their candidacy for the 2014 primary election for governor.
Safeties the Super secret weapons

BY LES BOWEN, Daily News Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com
NEW ORLEANS - You have your pistol formation, you have Joe Flacco trying to prove he's at the top of the quarterbacking pyramid, you have retiring Ray Lewis and ascending Colin Kaepernick, and by the way, has anybody heard that the opposing coaches in Super Bowl XLVII are actually brothers? Lots of themes, lots of angles. Here's one you probably hadn't considered, that comes from something Ravens coach John Harbaugh said this week: The 49ers and Ravens are here because of their safeties.
Penn's Conner Scott no longer a secret weapon
October 20, 2012
By Marc Narducci, Inquirer Staff Writer
Penn sophomore wide receiver Conner Scott has received some unwanted recent attention that is likely to continue. Scott entered the season with 10 career receptions, but now he often must navigate his way past two defensive backs in double coverage. The defensive scrutiny on Scott got even tighter with senior receiver Joe Holder missing his first game in last week's 24-20 win over Columbia due to a broken fibula. While Scott didn't see many balls last week, he made his touches count, catching two passes for 17 yards and a 13-yard touchdown.
Touch 'Em All: B.J. Upton's power display is what dreams are made of

By Michael Harrington, Inquirer Staff Writer
Phillies fans may have visions of Josh Hamilton playing in red pinstripes in 2013 (we were) - but B.J. Upton, lately mentioned as a possible addition for the Fightin's, is making a good case as primary daydream fodder at the Bank. The Rays centerfielder hit three solo home runs in Tampa Bay's 6-0 win over Hamilton's Texas Rangers on Sunday. The long balls - the first off former Phillie Roy Oswalt, the next two off Martin Perez - totaled 1,191 feet. Hamilton went 0 for 3 with two strikeouts against a dialed-in James Shields.
Lions' Johnson a not-so-secret sales weapon
February 2, 2012
By Joe McIntyre, Inquirer Staff Writer
Without a head coach for months and without program certainty in the future, Penn State's 2012 recruiting class could have been a lost cause. But throughout the tumultuous recruiting process during the Nittany Lions' most trying year, Larry Johnson, arguably the team's best recruiter, remained. And because of his presence, the Lions were still able to bring in what the coaches called an extremely successful 2012 class. On national signing day Wednesday, with the Lions snagging 19 incoming freshmen, fellow assistants new and old couldn't say enough about the Penn State defensive line coach and his ability to retain those high school athletes with murky minds about the university's future.
Eagles Notebook: Eagles' Graham proves effective in tight-end coverage
October 21, 2010
By LES BOWEN, email@example.com
The Eagles unveiled a new, secret weapon last Sunday in their never-ending quest to cover opposing tight ends: Brandon Graham. The first-round rookie defensive end confirmed yesterday that he had short-range responsibility on Atlanta's Tony Gonzalez "with help over the top. " Gonzalez, targeted seven times, caught just three passes for 19 yards. Granted, two of them were for touchdowns, but as Graham noted, those were different coverages in which he was not involved. Graham was tight on Gonzalez when the 10-time Pro Bowler could only manage to tip a pass headed his way, straight to Eagles corner Asante Samuel, who intercepted it to kill a second-quarter drive in the Eagles' 31-17 victory.

By Phil Anastasia, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
The Cherokee girls' volleyball team has size, speed, talent, and tenacity. But it might be what the Chiefs are missing that's the key to their 6-0 start. "This is probably the first team I've ever played on in any sport where there's no drama," Cherokee senior outside hitter Michelle Meehan said. "It's amazing how well we all get along. That's the reason we're so excited about this season. " Cherokee probably has been the best team in South Jersey through the first three weeks of the season.
Penn St.'s pocket rocket

By Joe Juliano, Inquirer Staff Writer
The most dangerous player on the Penn State offense is also the smallest, a 5-foot-7, 159-pound sophomore who gives opposing defenses the shivers whenever he gets the football in open space. Wide receiver Devon Smith is one of the fastest men ever to play for the Nittany Lions, a one-time secret weapon who isn't such a secret any more. After all, an opponent tends to pay special attention to someone who can run the 40-yard dash in 4.23 seconds, something Temple is sure to do when the Owls travel to Beaver Stadium on Saturday.

Is 15 Years in the Joint Enough For Scott Bass, Dad Who Locked 14-Year-Old Daughter in Bathroom For Months?
Yesterday, Scott Bass was sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to kidnapping and child abuse charges for locking his 14-year-old daughter in a bathroom for more than two months.
Per his plea deal, Bass faced up to 17 years in prison -- and New Times readers apparently weren't too fond of the 15-year sentence he received.
See our story on Bass' sentencing -- and our readers' comments -- here.
Given the circumstances of Bass' case -- barely feeding the girl, beating her with metal rods, forcing her to exercise to the point of exhaustion, leaving a bucket of urine in the bathroom with her, etc. -- it's pretty easy to say "throw away the key."

But Bass is so sorry he tortured his daughter and just wishes he could tell her how sorry he really is (he says while standing in front of a judge, mind you).
"I don't know how to begin to explain how sorry I am for what I did to my daughter," he told Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Paul McMurdie prior to his sentencing. "I wanna tell my daughter I'm so sorry that I failed her."
Again, despite the realities of sentencing guidelines and plea bargain negotiations, it's easy to say "throw away the key," regardless of how sorry Bass is now -- he had two months to be sorry as his teenage daughter was locked in a piss-filled bathroom.
We want to know what you think, though: is 15 years enough for Scott Bass?

Personnel policy debated in Rutland TownApril 24,2013By Courtney Parker
Personnel policy disagreements had some Rutland Town officials riled up Tuesday night.
New Selectman Don Chioffi said including elected officials in a policy governing the conduct of employees was potentially problematic.
"I answer both individually and collectively to every single taxpayer and citizen of the town of Rutland that elected me," he said.
Chioffi said he had no problem abiding by the policy, but he said it was purposeless and that he holds himself to a higher standard.
"It's an ethical thing with me; it isn't something written down," he said.
Selectman John Paul Faignant defended the policy, saying the board bore no extra burden from being covered by it.
"This is just another policy," said Faignant, comparing it to the liability and workers' compensation policies. "You're covered under that the same as you'd be covered under anything else."
Faignant said the personnel policy was meant to govern conduct and he asked Chioffi why elected officials should not be held to the same standards as town employees.
"You need the personnel policies to describe the behavior that a majority of the board might feel violate the state's statutes; this is the foundation to take in disciplinary action," he said.
Chioffi said he does not see any enforcement authority against elected officials, and asked where elected officials' duties would fall under the policy.
Faignant replied, "What you are trying to do is take a policy and understand it in the realm of a specific instance. In 34 years I've never seen two personnel issues come up with the same issues."

The bullace is a variety of plum. It bears edible fruit similar to those of the damson, and like the damson is considered to be a strain of the insititia subspecies of Prunus domestica. Although the term has regionally been applied to several different kinds of "wild plum" found in the United Kingdom, it is usually taken to refer to varieties with a round shape, as opposed to the oval damsons.[1][2]
Unlike damsons, bullaces may be either "white" (i.e. yellow or green) or "black" (i.e. blue or purple) in colour, and though smaller than most damsons are much larger than the related sloe.[3] Their flavour is usually rather acid until fully ripe.
Etymology and origin
The name probably originates from the Old French beloce, meaning "sloe", via Middle English bolas. Wild plums were formerly given the related name "bullies" in parts of Lincolnshire.[4] They were also known as the "bullum-tree" in Cornwall; "bullison" in Wiltshire; "scad" in Sussex; and as the "wild damson" in Yorkshire.[5] The similar word bwlas was used in the Welsh language.
Like other varieties of Prunus domestica, the bullace may have had its origin in hybrids between the sloe (Prunus spinosa) and cherry plum (Prunus cerasifera), though there is also evidence that domestica was solely descended from the latter.[6] Prunus insititia is still, however, occasionally regarded as a separate (entirely native) species.[6] It is possible that the bullace is genuinely native to the United Kingdom: the horticulturalist Harold Taylor, in his book The Plums of England, described it as "the only truly English plum", observing that all other hybrid varieties of plum and damson had at least some non-native origins.[7]
Although once cultivated, the bullace gradually fell out of favour as newer, larger or sweeter types of damson or plum displaced it, and it hung on at the fringes of cultivation.[5] Its hardiness meant that, like the damson, it was occasionally planted as a windbreak or hedging tree.
Four main varieties of bullace are recognised in England: the White, Black, Shepherd's and Langley.[1] There is, however, a wide variation between trees found in different districts. Bullaces generally ripen in October-November, rather later than other types of plum. They may sometimes be found growing wild in woods or hedgerows, particularly near old farmhouses; others may be found in old gardens or orchards, or can still be purchased from some nurseries.
Shepherd's Bullace
This variety has relatively large round fruit, ripening by October to a grass green or yellowish green colour, with small red spots on the sunward side.[8] It was formerly common in Kent and Essex and may still be found in hedgerows in eastern England.
White Bullace
The White Bullace has small, yellowish fruit, with greenish flesh.[9] A very old variety, it was once known in Cambridgeshire by the odd name "crex".[10] It was grown in large quantities in Norfolk in the 19th century, for use in preserving or cooking.[9] It is also occasionally referred to as the "Golden Bullace".
Black Bullace
The Black Bullace is the common "wild" bullace of woods in England, recognisable by its small, round black or dark purple fruit.[11] It can be quite astringent until very ripe or subject to a slight frost. A larger variety known as the "New Black Bullace" was later developed from it.
Langley Bullace
The Langley Bullace, or "Veitch's Black Bullace", was first raised in 1902 by the Veitch nurseries at Langley, Berkshire. It was a cross between an Orleans plum and the Farleigh damson.[12] This is the largest and (when ripe, which occurs in November) sweetest variety, and is not considered a 'true' bullace in some sources.
Abercrombie and Mawe, writing in 1779, described three types of bullace, the "white", "black" and "red".[13] Robert Hogg described an "Essex Bullace", which appears identical to the Shepherd's Bullace.
Bullaces are often stated to only be suitable for cooking.[14] As well as being used for stewing and making various fruit preserves, they were also traditionally used to make fruit wine. However, some bullaces are palatable raw if sufficiently ripe.

DETROIT (AP) - Dave Mlicki pitched seven strong innings and Brandon Inge hit a two-run single as the Detroit Tigers beat the Texas Rangers 3-2 on Wednesday night.
The Rangers (12-21) have their worst record after 33 games since 1985 and tied their third-worst start ever when Alex Rodriguez hit into a game-ending double play with the tying and go-ahead runs on base.
The Tigers have won nine of 12, and five of those wins have come against Texas, which has lost nine of 10 and 15 of 20.
Mlicki (3-2) has won three straight games, two of them against Texas. He struck out eight and allowed four hits and five walks.
Todd Jones pitched the ninth for his seventh save in nine opportunities. He allowed one-out singles by Rusty Greer and Randy Velarde before Rodriguez's double play.
Mlicki struck out the side on 12 pitches in the first. He then struck out Doug Mirabelli to end the second after giving up a single to Rafael Palmeiro and loading the bases with walks.
Doug Davis (2-3) pitched 6 1-3 innings and gave up 10 hits and three runs, his second-fewest in six outings.
Roger Cedeno singled, advanced to third on a double by Jose Macias and scored on Tony Clark's groundout, giving the Tigers a 1-0 lead in the first.
Detroit scored two more runs in the fourth on singles by Dean Palmer, Juan Encarnacion and Damion Easley, loading the bases before Inge followed with his two-run single.
After giving up a single to Cedeno, loading the bases again, Davis struck out Macias and got Bobby Higginson to fly out.
Frank Catalanotto ended Mlicki's hopes for a shutout with a two-out homer in the sixth, making it 3-1.
Palmeiro homered off C.J. Nitkowski in the eighth to pull the Rangers within a run.
Indians 5, Royals 1
CLEVELAND (AP) - The Cleveland Indians extended their longest winning streak in seven years to 10 games Wednesday night as rookie C.C. Sabathia got his fourth win in a 5-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals.
Sabathia (4-1) took a shutout into the sixth inning before Indians manager Charlie Manuel turned to his bullpen to keep the majors' longest winning streak this season alive.
Mariners 10, Red Sox 5
BOSTON (AP) - David Bell snapped out of a slump with four RBIs, and Seattle used a five-run eighth inning to beat Boston.
Bell came into the game in a 1-for-18 slump and was just 1-for-14 against Boston this season. But his third hit, a two-run double, highlighted the two-out rally in the eighth against Rolando Arrojo (1-1).
The Mariners reclaimed the best record in baseball at 24-9.
The Red Sox, who had won three straight games, lost despite homers from Manny Ramirez, Troy O'Leary and Trot Nixon.
Yankees 2, Twins 0
NEW YORK (AP) - Roger Clemens pitched eight strong innings and Bernie Williams snapped an 0-for-13 drought with a go-ahead RBI single for New York.
Williams, dropped from fourth to fifth in the lineup for the game, hit a first-pitch bouncer up the middle off Joe Mays (4-2) to bring home Paul O'Neill, who walked with one out in the sixth.
Chuck Knoblauch hit his third homer off Eddie Guardado after the reliever struck out the first two batters in the seventh.
That was all the support Clemens (4-0) would need for his 264th career victory.
Athletics 8, Blue Jays 5

About us
Welcome to the Tweaking Umineko wiki. We are UmiTweak, a group of fans dedicated to patching the original PC Umineko Visual Novels while basing our edits on the Umineko PS3 and PSP releases. Our goal is to make the original PC games as similar to those versions as we can since it is unlikely that the PS3 or PSP version will ever be localized. We specialize in the English version of Umineko. A list of all the fans working to bring you this patch can be found on the Staff and Beta-Testers pages.
