Skip to comments.Chavez rooting on Venezuelan driver Duno (Indianapolis 500)
Posted on 05/25/2007 6:39:16 AM PDT by AmericanMade1776
Milka Duno and Hugo Chavez bantered back and forth like a couple of flirty schoolchildren. When the two hooked up on the phone this week, Chavez invited Duno to "go for a ride" in his red Volkswagen Bug. Duno countered with an offer to attend a race, drawing a big laugh from the Venezuelan president
"Give me a ride!" he exclaimed. "With you, I'll go anywhere."
For many Americans, Chavez is a pompous blowhard, the world leader who called President Bush "the devil" and positioned himself as a righteous warrior against U.S. imperialism.
Come Sunday, though, Chavez will have a rooting interest in that most red, white and blue of events: the Indianapolis 500.
Duno is the first Venezuelan to make the race, not to mention being part of the first three-woman field in Indy history.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Is it just me, or does this unflattering picture of Milka Duno look just like Michael Jackson?
Her car has Citgo plastered all over it as well; another reason to hope she finishes as a back marker. I will say she has more curves than your average racetrack..
I would like to see Sarah Fisher or Danica win the race.
Someone should slip in and put a "Hammer & Sickle" emblem on her car.
Well, she is odd looking with a funny nose. No worry though because there is no way (barring a 32 car crash) she will win Indy this year. By lap 100, she'll either be 5+ laps down or out of the race all together.
That just lowered my opinion of her. If Chavez is her buddy, then I hope she finishes dead last.
Actually, the picture flatters her.
If you want a woman to win, wish a win for Danica.
I myself want the kid Andretti to win. He is a hell of a young driver!
Last year it was enjoyable to watch him and his Dad dueling!
I think I agree with you. I remember pulling for the young Andretti myself. And I like Danica!
Car races in general are not won by the racer with the most votes. I plan on watching the entire race, and will be pulling for anyone at the end of the race on the same lap as the leader. Any team and racer that can win this race deserves congratulations and respect from the entire racing world.
Duno has no chance. She's a rookie with little 500 track time, and she starting from 29th (out of 33). Nobody has ever won from that far back. (Two have won from 28th.) Her qualifying speed was the second-worst of the field, was 3.3 mph behind the field average, and 6 mph slower than the top 5. She's window-dressing, and the only way to get the Fisher-Patrick tandem some attention (since they've raced before). Indy has more problems fielding 33 cars lately than getting quality racers, so they're happy to have a PR-generating back-row filler.
I'll admit it gets attention, though not as much as Danica!
I believe that this comes a bit closer than the comparison to Jacko.
You may not like her politics but you can't deny that Milka is drop dead gorgeous.
I would like to see Sarah Fisher win, if a woman wins the race.
There was an article in USA Today saying that Danica was a bitty.
I'm not sure which is most boring to watch — golf, soccer, bowling, car racing, pro basketball or the Superbowl.
I think this last one is intersting, because she looks exactly like the beer-girl models who often adorn the cars for Indy photo-shoots.
I hope she wins! And after she wins I hope her victory, her car, her trophy and all of her money is seized from her 'by the people' and all of it is redistributed to the last place finisher 'for the people'. Then she should get a one way ticket back to Venezuela.
OK, there's a little Jacko resemblance, but she's sure got a cute smile. Now let's see if she's just curvy eye candy or if she's got actual driving chops like Fisher and Patrick.
My prediction: DNF. Something breaks on the car and she finishes about where she started, 29th or so.
Captain Blowhard- blowing had yet again.
Venezuelans are some of the most beautiful women on earth. This race car driver will almost certainly NOT be repatriating her income to Venezuela, where it will be stolen by the commies.
So I have no problem with tis babe.
I should of said rooting.. don't know why I said voting, but once the post was posted, there it was up there..
I don't like Chavez , don't watch car racing, don't buy gas from Citgo, and she represents all of that. I want what lets the air out of the blowhard Chavez. Sorry, I don't really care about her looks at all, as I am a woman.
Get real Chavez is her Sugar Daddy.
A man can dream, can't he?
Venezuelan why is anyone from that Communist state allowed into the United States. They should be treated just like the USSR and their Communist scum balls.
To be fair, she is a babe. No reason to dis' her just because she's friendly with the president of her country.
That being said, I hope she comes in last.
Personally, I'll just root for the USA's Danica Patrick
She will be in the "also ran" list.
I watched her at Kansas, she's not even close to contending.
That is a very flattering picture. If you see her close up, you will notice scars and blemishes, as if she had a fire on her face and they put it out with a pick.
Wow, what a hottie! Thanks freepers for posting the pics! Helped make my day. Chavez is all bluster and a moron but I don't feel especially threatened by the man. Besides, we have much bigger fish to fry.
A three woman contingent sounds like a good thing for ratings and it would be nice to see a serious female driver win or run with the leaders.
But this lady has had a total of ONE prior indy car race, she apparently has trouble communicating with her crew, AND she is a shill for latin america's number one whack-job anti-American dictator.
Indy is a tough track and I doubt any of the other drivers, including the two serious female drivers, are eager to spend the day passing her lap after lap.
Not to mention the tirades we'll hear from Hugo in the event she gets crashed or black flagged for being a hazard.
(PS: I'm for Andretti as well - John Andretti deserves another win in one venue or the other.)
No wonder the libs love Chavez, he's the Latino version of Bill Clinton!
Then why did you compare her to Jacko?
Maybe I'll get the chance if she comes to Homestead.
and I just couldn't leave it alone :^)

Episode seven of Bravos "Work of Art: The Next Great Artist," was titled "Child's Play," but what it should have been called was "The Exhausted Twenty-Somethings Look Haggard, Offer Up Revelations in a Desperate Attempt to Make Anyone Care About Their Incredibly Boring Art." It begins, as usual, with a montage of US Weekly-inspired "Just Like Us" moments: in this installment we are made privy to such scintillating events as Jaclyn Santos eating an apple, Abdi Farah praying, and Miles Mendenhall struggling to open a bag of Corn Flakes — ah, the plights of the creative genius. It turns out that everyone but Miles misses Erik Johnson (which is funny because they all acted like catty middle-school girls toward him when he was there) and everyone has turned against Miles (except for Nicole Nadeau, who wants to lock doe eyes with him forever in a vortex of cuteness that will hasten the apocalypse).
Then Simon de Pury bursts in with a sweep of the arm usually reserved for multimillion dollar gavel-pounding, and roars, "let's go take the subway!" (Apparently some production assistant forgot where he parked the Audis.) We learn that Simon is taking them to a museum, and we sigh that special sigh we reserve for our moments of patronizing the programming of the Brooklyn Museum, because, of course, we assume they are going to the Brooklyn Museum. They are not. And this is sad, because it will disappoint baby-woodland-creature contestant Nicole, who has just astutely stated that "artists really love to see art and be around it." But their slick Swiss tour guide is taking them to SoHo's Children's Museum of the Arts, which even Jerry Saltz has never heard of before. De Pury next describes how SoHo was an art Mecca in the 1980s, which seems to have very little to do with the Children's Museum of the Arts and its profusion of pompoms.
The contestants are told to make art inspired by the juvenile experiences that led them to become artists in the first place, using only the materials in the museum's workshop. (ARTINFO worries that if the contestants use all of the pipe cleaners and macaroni, the children will have nothing left, and will turn to turn to dealing crack on the streets. Funding for children's arts education is not exactly thriving.) Miles says, "I feel like I'm going to throw up and sneeze at the same time," which sounds like something you shouldn't do in a room used by germ-magnet elementary schoolers. Then Nicole drops another show-stopping line, asking, "Why can't kids have knives?" — sending audiences across the nation into a philosophical tailspin. Miles at some point says of a ball-filled playpen, "those balls are not sanitized," and we realize that this show has made us inured to all genitalia jokes.
Somehow the juvenile arts-and-crafts environment fails to summon that madeleine of Popsicle sticks and yarn that could bring the contestants back to their innocent, untelevised artistic roots, because the work they produce in the challenge is pretty eh. Or, in the wise, oddly-pronounced words of de Pury, "I am slightly unimpressed, to put it mildly." Long story short, Peregrine Honig wins, and Ryan Shultz gets the boot. Now to the Crayola-smeared coloring book of revelations:
1. Is Simon de Pury omniscient? The gang is eating breakfast on the roof. (A terrifying prospect: placing seven knife-and-hot-glue-gun-toting rivals on the verge of psychotic breakdowns high above the city's surging streets, a la the climactic rooftop scene in the "Departed.") Anyway, Simon de Pury somehow manages to find them. Is he able to locate them in this unexpected place because he works on the show? We prefer to imagine he knows where they are because, as the Manager, he controls the movements of all elements contained within the spheres of the Great Chain of Being.
2. Ryan was a Jehovah's Witness? Now he's "essentially an outcast," he says. He makes a piece out of squiggly drawings of rainbows and torn up construction paper, which he "carefully dishevels," he explains, "like I do my own hair." Also, these days he is "really digging" pencils. Mark Velasquez tells him that he looks "drunk, stoned," to which list Ryan adds "dead." Why are we being subjected to so much Ryan? He is the painfully unlikely focus of this episode; therefore, he will go home.
3. Nicole has a twin sister? Did they tell us that before? I forget. But it would be awesome every time. Two Nicoles! Perhaps the other Nicole is also sporting camo pants! Perhaps the other Nicole also walks around wearing disturbingly adorable pipe cleaner glasses. Only Simon de Pury can answer such riddles concerning the mysteries of the universe.
4. Abdi says he uses the quadratic formula all the time? He thinks that the quadratic formula is A squared + B squared = C squared. Nope.
5. Jaclyn was an unhappy child? She used to eat lunch in a bathroom stall. Now she gets naked and takes photographs of herself in a bathroom stall. She is clearly much better adjusted these days.
6. Miles remembers nothing from his childhood? Is this because he was engineered in a military lab to win art-world reality shows? Whatever weird psychological trauma prompts this lacuna makes him "want to put on mittens" when he sees Jaclyn's piece. What?
7. Mark is from a town where people had to walk 10 blocks to work? Is it a little town called Chelsea?
8. Peregrine grew up in an "urban art commune"? There, she was "introduced to religion and sexuality in a different way." Did Peregrine grow up as a part of a cult? Possibly. She uses papier-mâché, chalk, and construction paper to make a sculpture featuring drugs, cigarettes, candy, and a unicorn, and says it is about people that she grew up with who died of AIDS. She describes her parents' friends "with crack vials" as "really interesting people." Jerry Saltz checks out the unicorn and comments, "I do trolls." Then he flexes his cultural-reference caché by stating of the piece, "it really has songs of innocence and songs of experience."
9. China Chow got in a fight with a troll? Her dress is shredded and her hair is doing this humid-day-in-a-wind-tunnel thing where it looks like it's constantly moving and expanding.
10. Will Cotton is the guest judge? And he is attracted to the "level of obscurity" in Nicole's work. He just unveiled a portrait of a naked Katy Perry reclining on cotton candy! Talk about a total lack of obscurity. Can't say that it makes that much sense that he is drawn to a work that "doesn't show itself to you at first glance."
11. Bill Powers is a parent? Wait, what?

Tegan and Sara Play New Tunes at Austin City Limits
Posted: October 13, 2012
Tegan and Sara haven't been playing all of the cuts off of their upcoming (January 2013) album, Heartthrob, in their live shows, but the ones they have certainly hit the mark with their rabid fanbase.
Speaking with the twin Quin sisters Friday at the Austin City Limits music festival, it was estimated that approximately four songs from the highly-anticipated record get the live treatment at this point.
Their hour-long set at the Bud Light Stage was chock full with enough familiar tunes to keep the crowd cheering, dancing and screaming, "We love you!" all afternoon, but the taste of Heartthrob certainly leaves one in anticipation.
By now, many have heard "Closer," the opening single off the record.
It was debuted at an intimate Warner Bros. Records summer concert and since been seen on Conan and heard on the radio.
Its synth-heavy vibe and catchy hook make it tough to get out of one's head, but Tegan admits that it's probably the danciest track off Heartthrobs.
Still, there are other fresh gems that pique the interest.
"I'm Not Your Hero" is one new standout that makes it impossible to stand still, another dalliance into 1980s-influenced pop.
Tegan and Sara also did not skimp on the well-known favorites, most-notably with the opening "Walking With a Ghost" and with "The Con" serving as a solid middle reliever.
The siblings, who seemed to be holding a different guitar with every song, delighted the audience with their stage banter.
Over the years, they've been known for telling anecdotes of their childhood, or even sharing their thoughts on politics.
Friday's theme seemed to be the unrelenting heat, as they both regularly cautioned fans to apply sunscreen and hydrate.
"The last time we played a show that was this hot, Sara fainted," Tegan said. "It was like my solo career dream.
"Just kidding," she added with a laugh. "I wouldn't want to have to do all the work."
All jokes aside, there is a dynamic onstage that can only be described as family intuition – whether it is the way they bandy back and forth or how one is just as capable of taking the vocal or guitar lead as the other.
For a couple of sisters that began touring right after high school on the Greyhound bus line, the evolution of their sound hinted at with Heartthrobs coupled with their solid stable of fan-favorites shows just how far they have come over a 13-year career.

I have just brought a Calibra (M Reg). 2.0 16v
On the service history, it says they have put in a new breather mod.
What is this, and does it affect performance?.
I have just brought a Calibra (M Reg). 2.0 16v
On the service history, it says they have put in a new breather mod.
What is this, and does it affect performance?.
Calibra DTM Turbo 4x4 - Number 50
interesting. Who did this mod - Vauxhall?
is it the Ecotec engine?
a pic would be useful - there are various things that a breather mod could be.
Vaux did the breather mod.
It's an Ecco engine.
It looks like it's a box on the pipe above the manifold
Calibra DTM Turbo 4x4 - Number 50
I have seen that. Its an interesting thing: My brothers sport doesnt have it, yet Bruce Lavers did and they are the same reg - think they were fitted 97 onwards then.
It isnt really going to affect performance, but might make the engine smoother.
Yeah its just a little black box that sits inline on the crank breather pipe, on the bendy bit that connects to the head.
Filters out the gunge that gets into the head, and consequently helps prevent the cam cover breathers getting clogged.
They only cost £8 from vauxhall. Well worth doing. Never have to clean my cam breathers now.
so is there a filter you can remove and clean?
just sounds like an oil seperator. most of the older ford engines had these.
more useful between the cam cover and throttle body, i would have thought.
i had one of these on my ecotech, just helps the idle a little..
no performance porblems at all,mine fitted by vauxhall, little black box (ugly thing)..
Wanted alloy strut brace for a 16v Nova..
it helps to stop the ICV from getting clogged up on ecotec engines takes about 2 mins to fit and saves an hour stripping and cleaning the icv every few months
my other car does wheelies :D

Tally: Is FOX's new show 'Dads' more racist or more sexist?
FOX's much-dreaded new comedy "Dads" premiered last night, and I feel confident saying that the sole highlight was an extended shot of a very handsome golden retriever. For real, he was a truly spectacular dog, this fella, with floppy ears and a shiny almost ginger mane.
And the rest of this Seth Green/Giovanni Ribisi/ Martin Mull vehicle? To call it abysmal would be to undersell what just might be the worst TV show of all time. Chief among the series' many offenses are pervasive misogyny and constant racism that is shocking only in that it makes the show seem completely out-of-touch. But was it more sexist or more racist?! Let us investigate.
Racism tally marks:
1. Giovanni Ribisi and Seth Green, as Walden and Eli, respectively, play the founders of a video game company. The actress Brenda Song is featured one of their employees. She's introduced on the line, "You're lucky your fathers are American. My dad beat me with a math book until I was 16."
Jesus Christ almighty, oh my god.
2. Walden and Eli have a meeting with "the Chinese," and they request that Brenda's character Veronica attend it dressed as an Asian schoolgirl. This offense would fall primarily into the "sexist" category if it didn't make the excruciatingly clear point that "Dads" isn't aware that there are actually different kinds of Asians.
Brenda Song is Vietnamese and Thai. "The Chinese" are Chinese. But Veronica dresses as a Japanese schoolgirl character -- specifically, Sailor Moon, even though she is totally a Sailor Mercury.
3. Here's an attempt at a dad joke: "It would have been a billion dollar deal if someone had told me the correct pronunciation was Shiite Muslim."
Racist shit humor without any actual set-up. My favorite kind.
4. Eli's father mistakes Walden's wife for his maid. The joke is that Walden's wife is a Latina lady. Vanessa Lachey, who plays the character, is half-Filipina. Exhausting.
5. "Whatcha playing, Punch the Puerto Rican?" Because that sounds like an utterly thrilling video game, indeed.
6. And the honor of the laziest bit of racism goes to this line: "The Chinese are a lovely and honorable people, but you can't trust them. There's a reason Shanghai is a verb."
7. Did y'all know that Asian men invariably have tiny penises? If you aren't obsessively aware of that fact, then you obviously haven't watched "Dads."
Sexism tally marks:
1. Eli's character is a total ladies' man. We know this because he has a nameless girlfriend he won't actually call his girlfriend whom he insults constantly. Which is actually the plot to the 5th level of "Punch the Puerto Rican."
2. Walden's pop asks, "Carmela, would you mind being my secretary?" to Walden's wife who has at least been promoted from maid.
3. Of the 3 female characters, Veronica, Carmella and Not Girlfriend, not one of them isn't in some way fetishized. Which is an offense I will arbitrarily give 3 tally marks to.
Final Count: Racism: 7, Sexism, 5
Congratulations, racism. You've won it this time.

The Intel Core architecture is one that has not always been a performance leader. The original Core CPUs were decent, but not that great. Starting with the Conroe based Core 2, things changed. We saw Intel push the limits on performance at both stock speed and also for overclockers. With the launch of the Nehalem and Lynnfield CPUs we saw Intel greatly improve stock performance, but overclocking, while still pretty good, was not the same as it had been, especially for the top of the line CPUs.
To help offset this Intel has released a new "K" line of CPUs that are multiplier unlocked. This means that you have control over the multipliers for the CPU ratio and memory ratio, giving more options for a better overclocking experience.
While we already have the unlocked Core i7-980X for socket 1366, today marks the release of the i7-875K for socket 1156 and the i5-655K also for socket 1156, but which includes the Intel GMA HD video processor. We are taking a look at the Core i7-875K today to see if it can indeed give us more.

Works great.
helpful for candida
Posted by Reviewer1075408 on Jul 06, 2011
if you take high enough doses you can prevent candida turning into the fungal form.
It works, but not sure on what level
Posted by Reviewer1310225 on Jun 03, 2010
I had bought this product in order to control candida. I know that it works somehow becuase when I take it with breakfast, I get a lot of energy, to the extent that I feel really hot and have to turn on the air condition sometimes, so all in all I know it works (I used a very high dose of 10,000 mcg) which is used for candida according anecdotal evidence at least.
Posted by Reviewer1301993 on Jul 26, 2010
These taste good. I have not taken them daily, so it is hard to say how they work.

Good Stuff
Posted by 5141887965557571054 on Jul 02, 2012
I have been taking 1 lozenge a day for the past month and I have seen some fast hair growth results. My skin looks and feels the same as it always did. No crazy breakouts from taking Biotin. Don't see any difference in the strength or growth of my nails either but, my hair has grown a little over an inch in just 31 days of taking Biotin. My hair has always been thick..so no real change there but, I'm happy about the results. The pills are small and taste good. They just take a bit to dissolve.
Good for children
Posted by cot477 on Jul 03, 2012
My child takes one of these with each meal for hair, skin and nails (and a skin disorder). It dissolves quickly in the mouth and tastes good. It's good for the body and perfect format for kids.

Yeah! Why not invite Alice? He doesn't have to do his blood and guts act. He could sing one of his ballads. Maybe he could whip up a ditty for the convention?
I liked that part too.
I'm not saying that, just that I don't like country music. Don't get me wrong, there are some amazingly talented country musicians out there, I'd never say there aren't. I just don't like that sort of music. It annoys the crap outta me. No big deal. This reply may seem strange but I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic or serious. My apologies. Sometimes it's difficult to ascertain through typed text.
Maybe he and Rebecca St. James can do a duet or something. Her music video "I want to Thank You for Believing" interspersed with the President's voice and clips of our military families is awesome. Wish they'd use that in the campaign.

All courses are held ONLINE.
Fees: $195 per course
Register for the four-course series and receive a 10% discount. Fee: $700
Courses may be taken individually; completion of certificate is not required.
Courses may be taken consecutively to earn a certificate, or individually for professional development in a specific subject area. See "Requirements for the Certificate" below for more information.
Each course is four weeks long and held online, using the Moodle learning platform. Students can expect to spend 4-5 hours per week on coursework.
The courses consist of reading assignments, weekly forums and live chat sessions with faculty and other students. There are fixed due dates for assignments each week. While it is not required for students to have previous experience with nonprofit organizations, class assignments do require the use of materials from nonprofit organizations. Students who are not currently working in a staff or volunteer capacity will need to approach a nonprofit organization of their choice to ask if they can use that organization as their "example" for some of the course assignments.
There are also weekly live video chats that will be scheduled at the mutual convenience of faculty and students.
Faculty provide students with one-on-one consultation via video chats, phone, and email. Faculty remain available, as do course materials, to students after the completion of each course.

Violent Femmes
Violent Femmes
Freak Magnet
For nearly 20 years, Gordon Gano has been playing out his emotional and spiritual angst through the electrified alternafolk of the Violent Femmes, veering madly between Bob Dylan gravity and Jonathan Richman comedy, with shout-outs to everyone from Lou Reed to David Byrne to Fred Schneider. Gano's nasal Midwestern yelp and songwriting quirks have always been perfectly suited to the Femmes' personality du jour, whether it be sanctified electric-rock icon or austere acoustic vagabond troubadour.
Freak Magnet, the Femmes' first studio effort since 1995's import-only Rock!!!!, stands in stark contrast to last year's Viva Wisconsin, a live album documenting the band's recent home-state acoustic tour. The atmosphere on Freak Magnet is considerably more arranged, layered, and electric, perhaps a fitting reaction to the Femmes' typically stripped-down mode of operation. This is obviously the band's most straightforward release of the decade, as Gano and multi-instrumentalist Brian Ritchie explore a number of simple, guitar-sparked avenues, from the propulsive opener "Hollywood Is High" to the Stonesy chug-a-lug of the title track. Revisiting the angry thrash of the early years is the two-minute pounder "Mosh Pit" and the gospel killbilly two-step "Rejoice and Be Happy," but Freak Magnet's oddest moment is the Dadaist closer "A Story (Featuring Pierre Henry)," a weird narrative with atonal shards of audio collage that feels tacked on.
The Violent Femmes have never enjoyed broad commercial success, instead smartly capitalizing on their enduring, wide-ranging cult appeal. But Gano's managed to get the Femmes involved in a number of soundtrack projects during their frequent hibernations, providing authenticity to the recent spate of '80s-flavored films using period music ("Blister in the Sun" figured prominently in 1997's Grosse Pointe Blank), as well as hired gun pieces ("Color Me Once" for The Crow, a cover of the Stranglers' "No More Heroes" for Mystery Men, "I Can Change" for the South Park movie). Keeping the Violent Femmes in the public eye while staying just out of the limelight has worked amazingly well, so it's hard to argue Gano's strategy, especially in light of Freak Magnet's verve.

Look for it in the crochet cotton section. Also, Aunt Lydia's Cable Crochet Cotton thread has been compared to speed-cro-sheen. The speed part of the name of the thread comes from its being a little larger and thus taking less time to create the item.

Has Ludwick ever batted 2nd in the order before in his career? I'm not sure I understand that choice in the lineup.
Batted second a lot back in his St. Louis days.
Yes, although he batted 4th, 5th and 6th more. However, with that said, he batted 2nd:
So the PRE POST SEASON Begins…I hope the Cinti area citizens back the house for this series
Baker's idea is to bat Ludwick ahead of Votto; thus forcing the SP to pitch fast balls in order to pitch around Votto, even walking him. We all know how many times Votto has been walked. Let's see if it works; with recent batting by the entire lineup, it certainly can't hurt. With that said, I really don't want to see the batting order jostled so much entering the playoffs. We need to remember…the next three games only decide the home field advantage for the one WC card; nothing more. Pittsburgh might have designs on winning three straight in order to have a chance of catching St. Louis for the Division Champs title, but that's a pipe dream given that the Cards play their last three games against the Cubbies.
Wow very aggressive move by dusty! It's on like donkey kong
I like it.
Today's SP matchups…
A.J. Burnett, RHP
Burnett tries to keep the Bucs in the NL Central hunt, or at least book the NL Wild Card game for PNC Park, by reaching doubles-figures in wins for the ninth straight season. He was masterful in his last start, against the Reds in Pittsburgh.
Homer Bailey, RHP
The Reds have lost each of Bailey's three starts against the Pirates this season. Bailey has gone 0-2 with a 3.50 ERA in those starts, including Saturday's loss, in which he gave up four runs (two earned) in 5 2/3 innings.
First one is the biggest; especially with a healthy Cueto pitching the 3rd leg. However, as I mentioned before, the lineup better perform no matter who is pitching.

Fondest memory: P.O. Box 1170, 622 First Street, Cordova, Alaska 99574
Prince William Sound Science Center
Favorite thing: I'm not sure how this science center works, are they like able to host visitors anytime, or do you need to book time in advance. They do arrange all kinds of environmental education for the kids and educate younger people.
Fondest memory: This is very interesting place and I highly recommend visiting there. It has a broad history of Exxon Valdez for example and it can provide everykind of information of marine life. The workers are nice and wise, this is very unique place:)
300 Breakwater Avenue
Cordova, AK 99574
907-424-5800 - phone
907-424-5820 - fax
I advise to call and ask about their times of open.
Favorite thing: Exxon Valdez Oil Spill really affected to the fishing industry of Prince William Sound. Cordova was one of the cities that suffered most. It hasn't recovered yet, but it will heal. It may take centuries though and some of the species won't probably never be like they were before Exxon Valdez.
But the fishing is coming back. It is not anymore the main source of living to Cordova, but it attracts tourists to the town.
Fondest memory: From the small boat harbor you can book your own fishing trips and decided whater you would like to catch a halibut or maybe even a shark. Cordova has the largest wet land delta on the coast of north America, with hundred's of streams, beaver dams and rivers winding through the delta, for the great runs of Silver Salmon, Sockeye, Pinks, Dollies and Cutthoat.
- Fishing
- Sailing and Boating
Favorite thing: If someone had never been to Cordova before I would recommend taking them to Child's Glacier and Sheridan Glacier. Both are unique in their own ways. At Child's Glacier you can watch it calve off into the Copper River. At Sheridan Glacier you can walk on part of it.
Fondest memory: My fondest memories of Cordova are the years that I lived there as a child and teenager. Mostly I miss my friend, Pam, and the beautiful, serene scenery.

I adore summer and there is nothing better than a summertime celebration. It's hard not to envision an idyllic location where the sunshine is beaming upon your face, your guests are mingling with champagne in hand after you exchange vows under the warm sun; the blue skies and picture-perfect idea that you have imagined is as blissful as they come. Cue that awful screeching noise because back in the land of real-world mishaps, you suddenly realize that humidity can make any guest miserable, mosquitoes are in abundance and definitely not on the RSVP list, plus alcohol and heat do not make the perfect match. Tackling wedding mishaps like not providing ample ways to cool your guests off to your fly-away veil sticking to your lip gloss and everything else in between – here's the must-have advice that I have picked up along the way that is guaranteed to not let mother nature steal your summertime joy!

I love flowers. Peonies and tulips are just a few of my favorites, but these blooms wilt incredibly fast as do hydrangeas and gardenias. Think spritzing your bouquet with water is a great idea? Guess again. The water will burn the flowers and turn them brown. While having the wedding of your dreams in the warm sun is what wedding dreams are made of, talking about your ideas, goals, and setting reasonable expectations with your florist is a must in the wedding planning process. Your bouquet may have looked amazing for your walk down the aisle; but a few hours later the thought of having a backup bouquet and boutonniere for your groom is a great idea if you and your newly-minted spouse are wanting to capture more moments later in the day.

I officially live at the beach, but one thing's for certain, too much alcohol when it's a gazillion degrees (any temperate after 90!) doesn't mix well with heat. Offering guests refreshments that aren't alcohol-laden before the ceremony starts is a lovely idea. Cucumber water is a creative idea as is raspberry lemonade or your grandmothers recipe for old-fashioned sweet tea! Pretty it up with festive stirrers or honeycombs and you're off to a refreshing start! The best part is that you can also offer these types of drinks during cocktail hour and save money by placing those hard-earned funds elsewhere, like that gorgeous dress you have been eying or an idyllic honeymoon some place tropical!
Image by Erin Hearts Court, via Elizabeth Anne Designs
If your ceremony and reception is outdoors, then thinking about ample ways of helping your guests beat the heat is probably on your to-do list. Sunscreen, programs that double as fans, and renting A/C units are all great options. Creating lounge areas for your guests to mingle before and after the ceremony helps set the tone – think umbrellas with accenting colors to match your decor or cocktail tables under a giant oak tree. Don't forget the types of chairs that you use for your ceremony and/or reception is in fact important. Metal chairs aren't going to feel pleasant when it's 90 degrees out (think leather car seats!), do opt for cushions that not only add color to your ceremony but also protect your guests from scorching their bottoms!

I used to be the girl that went out with a fresh face of makeup everyday no matter the occasion. Things have clearly changed. I now wear tinted moisturizer, waterproof (anything and everything!) and I keep my beauty regimen minimal thanks to the Florida humidity. You may be agreeing with me on my stance on how to look pretty any other day; but on your wedding day, it's imperative and downright necessary to have a couple of trial runs with your hair and makeup routine. Trying out varying foundations and seeing which ones will not feel stifling on your skin and which ones that will not make your face look as if it's melting. Products like Urban Decay setting spray is a great option for helping your face stay camera-ready, no matter the weather conditions. if you hair has natural curl then a loose up-do could be a fantastic option vs a sleek chignon, think about the texture of your hair before deciding on one of those Pinterest-worthy looks.
Image by Sara Lucero, via Green Wedding Shoes
There are certain times of the day I clearly avoid. Think high noon. Not only is the sun harsh, but the heat index is at its highest. While you may enjoy the heat when you are wearing that darling bikini of yours, wearing a Vera Wang ballgown isn't going to feel so amazing when it's blazing outside. Not only can the heat hurt your older guests (heat strokes); but the harsh sunlight isn't the most flattering light for those Vogue-like moments you want your photographer to capture! While I do hope that you have reconsidered the hours of 12-3pm, let's talk about sunset for a second. It's incredibly romantic and makes for picture-perfect captures like the image above but before you book your venue, talk to your photographer about finding the correct time of day to say your vows where no one is rushing to walk down the aisle because the sun is setting in less than 5 minutes. Ample timing is key.
Image by Anna Hardy, via Whimsical Wonderland Weddings
I love cake; it's as simple as that – red velvet to be exact, but I certainly don't discriminate. Can you guess what other things that melt besides one's makeup?! If you guess that decadent wedding cake of yours, then you are correct! If you're opting for a naked cake which is one the newest trends, then you should be safe. If you are considering butter cream over fondant, then do reconsider. Marzipan and fondant are the preferred choices for summertime celebrations and skipping things like cream cheese, pastry creams and anything else that may need refrigeration is key to having your cake stay edible and pretty enough to eat! Still prefer fondant? Have the catering staff keep your cake refrigerated, it will also help keep those critters that didn't RSVP out of your confectionery masterpiece!
Image by SMS Photography, via SMP
Murphy's Law. It's something that you've heard me talk about on the blog before. If something is going to find a way to go wrong then it most certainly will. Clearly Murphy wasn't an optimist and I would rather believe that perfect weather will be a gift straight from Mother Nature herself. Things like hurricanes in the south do exist and aren't exactly what wedding dreams are made of. Not only is wedding insurance a good idea but asking your venue about what happens if mother nature decides to wreak havoc on your wedding plans should be one of those questions that are essential. While tents won't provide adequate shelter for your guests from a tornado, they are optimal for inclement weather like rain or even the occasional summertime thunderstorm. Finding out if your venue has an indoor option that is available on your wedding day is a great way to stay within budget and one less thing to stress about because weather and other unpredictable mishaps aren't what this day is about – don't lose sight that it is your love for each other that is going to make your wedding memorable!
My fingers are crossed that you ladies have picture-perfect weddings with Mother Nature on her best behavior!

Polymorphism, whether sexual or formal, appears to be the key to this group show of disparate works (by Zackary Drucker, Michael Mahalchick and Jennifer Sirey, among others) inspired, in part, by author Judith Halberstam's 2011 tome, The Queer Art of Failure, which proposes alternatives to success as a form of resistance against heteronormative society.

Company DetailsUpdate
Weather-driven markets are among the most powerful of all markets, simply because the weather is the most powerful force on earth. Weather Trades, Inc. (a division of Freese-Notis Weather) is proud to present Trade Winds, a service that allows investors to tap into that power.
Now in our 19th year of service, Trade Winds gives you the long-range, mid-range and immediate weather forecasts for the world's major crop growing and energy using regions...plus "big picture" analysis to know what it all will mean...plus specific commodity trading recommendations—in a year-round service unlike any other.
Will a freeze hurt the Brazilian coffee crop? Will there be a drought in the U.S. Corn Belt? What are the chances that we will have a cold winter, driving natural gas prices higher and creating havoc in Florida orange areas? What is the status on El Niño? Subscribers to Trade Winds get our answers to these and many other questions every day (via our Daily Service) and every month (via our 16-24 page monthly Newsletter)...along with our opinion on how these weather events will influence commodity prices.
