wash, rinse and repeat. And with divvy under 10% now, I dont think anyone is getting overly excited. These canroys are always a screaming buy when they pay over 13% and a screaming sell when they go under double digits in divvy payout for new investors. Anyone notice that?Are there any canroys or energy co's paying 12% or better right now?
DAY.UN pays close to 12% as of today's SP. They've just bought the Highpine oil company, so they have fresh reserves. But it's too late to buy it for Oct. distribution, maybe next month.
You buy now for less because the recent distribution has been subtracted from the price. If you wait until the end of the period the price goes up in anticipation of the next dividend.1/2 dozen of one - six of the other.

Spam ReviewsMariner_73 Feb 4, 2012 5:04 AM
My book page has recently been hit by several annoying spam reviews. They haven't (yet) been that detrimental as most are accompanied by 5 star rankings and they are all obvious spam (nonsensical phrases, etc.) They started appearing a few days ago and I've diligently 'flagged' them as spam, but the following day, the flags have disappeared and there are an additional one or two spam reviews, which I flag all over again. Additionally, I've taken the following steps:
1. I emailed email@example.com and described the problem. Last night I received an email (obviously a form letter) that my issue was better handled by phone and providing a contact number and service hours.
2. I dutifully call the number and went through the voice mail decision tree (i.e. press this, press that) before I reached a human. That human was a young lady named "Irish" who was apparently located somewhere in the Phillipines. After learning her name, I was hard pressed to understand anything else she said without making her repeat it several times. (I should interject here that I've lived and worked all over the world for many years, including over a decade in the Far East. I'm not at all xenophobic and have always worked in multinational settings, where most of my colleagues spoke English as a second language. I am very accustomed to dealing with accents, but Irish's defeated me.)
3. I explained my situation slowly and carefully to Irish, where upon she put me on hold for 5 minutes, came back and asked me to spell my name, put me on hold for another 5 minutes, and so on, each time asking me another very simple question. My very distinct impression is that she was hoping I would hang up. When it was obvious I was going to outlast her, she came back on the line with the advice that I should email email@example.com. I carefully explained once again that I had done so, and that email@example.com had directed me to her. I was banished to 'hold' for another 5 minutes.
4. Irish finally came back with a phone number that she said was for "author support." However, when I asked for the hours she said they were already closed for the day. I intend to try this number on Monday, but based on my experiences so far, I am not hopeful.
So. The purpose of this email is to ask if any other authors have encountered this problem and if they were able to solve it. I've already invested a lot of time in it, and I don't want to waste anymore. My tendency at this point is just to give up.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Football: Red Devils Stop Redskins
By KIM NORTH
For The Intelligencer
ST. CLAIRSVILLE – It's not how many plays a team runs or how much time it possesses the football, it's the end result that matters.
St. Clairsville found itself in that position after 24 minutes of action Friday night at a packed Red Devil Stadium against Indian Creek.
The Redskins (4-1) executed their game plan to near perfection in the first half as thru ran 35 offensive plays (34 runs) to a dozen for the Red Devils.
However, the scoreboard read 7-0 in favor of St. Clairsville when the teams headed to the locker room for the halftime break. The Red Devils tacked on a pair of Michael Ferns touchdowns in the second half in blanking the Redskins 21-0 on Hall of Fame Night.
"It's what we did with those plays," St. Clairsville head coach Brett McLean said of production his team made despite the lack of time his team had the ball.
"We would've liked to have more (offensive plays), but that's Indian Creek's style. That's what they do."
After a pair of turnovers to start the game, Indian Creek opted for a fake punt on fourth-and-6 from near midfield. However, the ploy failed as Cory Goodrich could only get one yard.
On St. Clairsville's third play, Jaylon Brown broke a run off the left side of the line and went untouched from 41 yards out
Starting at its own 20 after Musilli's kickoff bounced into the end zone for a touchback, Indian Creek marched 76 yards on 20 plays and chewed up 10:39 off the clock.
Facing a fourth-and-goal from the St. Clairsville six, the Redskins rolled the dice and went to the air. Jonathan Woodbury rolled right and lofted the ball to the corner of the end zone, but the ball was just inches from the fingertips of a diving Zach Connor.
"The big thing was for us was to not get frustrated on offense ourselves," McLean added. "Not being selfish and sticking to our game plan. When you get your touches, do something with them. It could be the type of game where you might not see the ball a whole lot."
Malik Gummer returned the second-half kickoff 42 yards deep into Indian Creek territory at the 34. Four plays later, sophomore quarterback Michael Monteroso rolled to his left and found senior fullback Michael Ferns in the flat. The Michigan recruit plucked the ball just inches from the carpet and headed down the near sidelines. He picked up a crunching block by Michael "Zuke" Jacob en route to a 27-yard scoring play.
After the St. Clairsville forced a punt, it gave Indian Creek a doze of its own medicine with a time-consuming drive of its own. The Red Devils used 16 plays (all runs) and 8:08 off the clock in marching 82 yards.
Ferns capped the drive with a 3-yard burst over the right side of the line on third-and-goal.
For the game, Indian Creek ran 62 plays to 37 for St. Clairsville. The Redskins led 207-189 in total yards.
At halftime three former Red Devil standout athletes were enshrined in the St. Clairsville Hall of Fame. They included Shawn Vincent, Megan Sacco-Bailey and Jim Kerr.

Spring Training Travels Day 6: Baseball Lifers on the Back Fields
This marks the sixth day of the RoughRiders Media Relations Department's travels at Spring Training in and around Phoenix, Arizona. In this installment, Steve Goldberg tells the story of a RoughRiders fan who has traveled with the Rangers to Spring Training for the past 27 years. All installments can be found here, including Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, and Day 5.
Nathan, Ryan, and I have spent the majority of our week here at Spring Training out on the back fields in Surprise, covering former RoughRiders and other players that will soon be a part of the team.
When you watch a game on the back fields, it is an entirely different experience than taking in the action at the main stadium. There are small crowds of about 50 people made up of mostly players, coaches, a few writers, and a handful of Minor League baseball fans.
I was watching the Rangers squad play the Royals the other day and encountered a fan sitting next to me who was a Northwest Arkansas Naturals season ticket holder since their inaugural Texas League season in 2008. Every time a former Natural stepped up to bat, she screamed their name and said, "Come on! Hit a home run! It's your turn now!"
The second day we were here, Ryan and I had just finished talking to Ryan Strausborger when two RoughRiders fans approached us. They introduced themselves and recounted their memories of Strausborger playing at Dr Pepper Ballpark.
Sheree Bernstein and her mother Edie are loyal Riders fans and Rangers fans. Sheree, a founder of the Riders Booster Club, has followed the Rangers to Spring Training for the past 27 years and can frequently be seen on the back fields in Surprise watching the Minor League games.
Sheree and her mother Edie have countless Spring Training stories about their experiences with former RoughRiders and Rangers over the years. They are season ticket holders at Dr Pepper Ballpark. As much as they love attending RoughRiders home games, they also enjoy the feeling of watching past, present, and future Riders play on practice fields in front of very small crowds.
After meeting Sheree and Edie, I asked if they would share their Spring Training story with our readers here on the blog. They agreed. The following words are Sheree's.
I would consider us "baseball lifers". We might not have played or started life as fans. But somewhere along the way, the game and interest in those that play it, run it, and also love it grabbed a hold. We don't foresee a time it's not a big part of our lives.
It all began for me when I became an 'Astros Buddy' in the mid '70s. Going to Astros games in Houston was a way for me to spend quality time with my dad. My love for baseball evolved over time. Mom and I both have spent time as baseball employees. I was an usher, and Mom was a hostess at Dr Pepper Ballpark's JCPenney Club.
Spring Training has been a big part of our baseball lives for the last 27 years. We started back at the Rangers' camp in Port Charlotte, Fla., and continued on to the current complex in Surprise. We love the climate, the scenery, the people, and the immersion of baseball for a couple weeks each year.
Mom likes to remember seeing Elvis Andrus when he was young and shy. She has enjoyed seeing him grow into a team leader. Not to mention, he is also an All-Star caliber player.
We love Spring Training so much because it is an opportunity to meet up with friends and get to see the big league team come together up close. We also reacquaint with former players who have already come through Frisco and those that may soon be arriving. We love the relaxed atmosphere and the chance to see the players develop, grow, and mature from one year to the next.
As you can see, Sheree's passion for baseball is evident. The small handful of fans like Sheree and Edie who attend the Minor League games feel like they are a part of the action on the opposite side of the chain-link fence.
The back fields provide a much more intimate Spring Training setting than the main Surprise Stadium. The "baseball lifers" like Sheree, Edie, and that Northwest Arkansas Naturals fan know that even though the players on the field may not be superstars yet, their opportunity is just a few steps away.
And that, to me, is the most beautiful thing about baseball.

Spring Training Travels Day 5: Checking in with Non-Roster Invitees
This marks the fifth day of the RoughRiders Media Relations Department's travels at Spring Training in and around Phoenix, Arizona. In this installment, we check in with some former RoughRiders who were invited to major league camp as non-roster invitees. All installments can be found here, including Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 and Day 4.
If you've been to a Spring Training game, you know the drill. The major leaguers play for the first five or six innings, before you find you find yourself asking "who?" every time an unfamiliar name is introduced as a pinch hitter or defensive replacement. These mystery players are often the non-roster invitees.
Non-roster invitees are players with minor-league contracts (i.e. not on the 40-man roster), but are participating on the major league side of camp instead of the minor league side. Often, they are younger players working their way to their first full-time MLB roster spot, while veteran big leaguers are occasionally brought in, too (a la Jeremy Guthrie this year). This spring, the Rangers had 18 non-roster invitees, including a handful of former RoughRiders. While many of the non-roster invitees won't make the big league roster right away, the opportunity to train alongside some of the game's best players provides a valuable experience.
"I'm not trying to put too much pressure on myself," said 2014-15 RoughRiders infielder Drew Robinson. "I'm just trying to learn as much as I can, absorb anything I can from these guys.
And that absorption of knowledge from established veterans can be just as important as refining on-field skills.
"Seeing how they go about their business day to day, I mean, it's huge because it's something you have to be able to learn how to do," said 2015 RoughRiders outfielder Ryan Cordell. "At this point in my career, learning how to become better off the field, how to prepare myself when I come to the field, that's the biggest part.
Though they're not a regular face in the Rangers clubhouse during the summer, they've been welcomed in as part of the family.
"It's a good vibe around here," said 2013 RoughRiders catcher/first baseman Brett Nicholas. "They treat us like we're part of the team. I've enjoyed talking to some of the veteran guys who have been around for a while and just them giving their two cents on what it's like to play at this level."
Monday, the Rangers sent nine players down to minor league camp – including Robinson, Cordell and Lewis Brinson. Though they won't be in Arlington for opening day, they're another step closer to becoming full-time major leaguers, whether later this season or later on down the road. And perhaps next year, they'll crack the 40-man roster and can serve as gracious hosts to the newest wave of non-roster invitees.

Spring Training Travels Day 4: Rangers Return From San Antonio
This marks the fourth day, third full day, of the RoughRiders Media Relations Department's travels at Spring Training in and around Phoenix, Arizona. In our fourth installment, Steve Goldberg recaps the Rangers' weekend trip to San Antonio and the adjustment to getting back in a rhythm at camp. All installments can be found here, including Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3.
With two full days of Spring Training under our belt, we move on to our third day here at the Rangers' training complex. When we arrived in Surprise on Saturday, a group of players were noticeably missing. They were playing two games against the Kansas City Royals in San Antonio.
It was a very enjoyable weekend for the group who made the 850-mile trek back to Texas. The Rangers won both games against the Royals, scored a total of 20 runs, and played in front of 27,536 fans on Friday and 33,592 on Saturday. This was indeed a major change of pace from playing in smaller Cactus League ballparks.
The team experienced many thrills over the weekend, highlighted by former RoughRider Lewis Brinson's walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning in Friday's 7-5 victory.
Hanser Alberto, another former Rider, enjoyed the change of pace going from Surprise to San Antonio for the weekend. Alberto was a perfect 2-for-2 in the first game Friday.
"The San Antonio weekend was great," Alberto said. "It's a good city and it was great to be around the guys. We had a lot of fun there and played very well."
Alberto and the squad who made the trip to San Antonio were back at the Rangers' training complex Sunday. They had a quick turnaround, with a 1:05 p.m. big league game against the Angels looming. Despite the major contrast between playing at the Alamodome and Surprise Stadium, the team had a smooth transition back to the everyday routine of camp.
"It's the same game, nothing new," Alberto said. "You see the ball and hit the ball. You make the routine plays and play your hardest. We came back here and are continuing to work hard. We want to keep showing everyone that we're ready."
For Alberto, his first taste of Major League action last year has impacted his mindset at this year's Spring Training. He continues to receive valuable advice from the experienced players in the clubhouse that have helped him with adjust to playing in the big leagues.
"I have learned a lot from the veteran guys," Alberto said. "It's been a great experience. Now I have a better idea how to work and concentrate. The results are going to be different every day, but now I feel comfortable at every point in the game. I am more ready than ever."
There are many other former Riders in a similar position. Chi Chi Gonzalez, Keone Kela, and Ryan Strausborger all made their Major League debuts with the Rangers last season and bring that experience with them to this year's Spring Training.
As mentioned in our Day 2 post, this is my first time at Spring Training. One of the most noticeable and pleasantly surprising things has been observing the interaction between Major League veterans and the up-and-coming prospects throughout all levels of the organization.
Everyone here is striving to improve and advance to the highest level of the sport. The veterans have a visible presence at the camp giving their tips and offering advice to the younger players, who are learning as much as possible in their quest for success.

Spring Training Travels Day 2: The World Beyond Surprise Stadium
This marks the second day, first full day, of the RoughRiders Media Relations Department's travels at Spring Training in and around Phoenix, Arizona. All installments can be found here, including Day 1.
We made it to Arizona! Each of us comes to Surprise with slightly different levels of Spring Training experience. Nathan is the most experienced of the three of us, already having been five times previously. For Steve, this is his first ever visit to Spring Training (and we hope it's not his last).
I'm somewhere in the middle. This week marks my fourth visit to Arizona for Spring Training. But those first three visits were spent exclusively in the major league parks, casually taking in America's pastime under the sun. Don't get me wrong; each of those visits was quite enjoyable. However, this year, I'm exploring the minor league side of the complex too, and it's taking my Spring Training experience to the next level.
On the back fields, you get a little bit of everything. Whether it's Prince Fielder and Adrian Beltre sharing a morning laugh in major league camp, all the minor league pitchers gathering for some morning insight and advice, or just the constant crack of the bat coming from some of the organization's up-and-comers in one of the various batting practice setups, there's an interminable feel of baseball in the warm, Arizona air.
After taking in the morning workouts, we stayed in Surprise for the afternoon to take in some of the minor league games against Kansas City. It's a much different feel than a major league game out here. Not only are the crowds significantly smaller, but they're mainly composed of other players, coaches and scouts in the organization, as opposed to fans. Nonetheless, it's still fun to watch a hitter battle through a long at-bat or a pitcher find a way out of trouble. After all, baseball is baseball is baseball, whether it's played in Surprise Stadium or on Field 6 of the complex.
One of the big takeaways from my first day on the back fields was the intrigue of seeing the Rangers organization together as one, with seven practice fields separated by just a few hundred yards. In one moment, you may be looking at the current major leaguers, while the next moment may lead you to the rising stars that will don a minor league uniform this summer in Frisco or elsewhere in the farm system. And sometimes, the major and minor league worlds collide, in the case of non-roster invitees. I'll have more on them later in the week here on the blog.
Until then, I'm looking forward to spending more time on the back fields. If you're like me and have only ever seen Spring Training from the major league parks, I'd recommend venturing around the complex a bit more next time you come to really soak up what Spring Training is all about.
The fun is only beginning here in Surprise. Steve will have another update for you tomorrow.
Baseball term of the day: Agate – The baseball. The term may have derived from "marble," another name for the ball. Agates and aggies were popular forms of marbles.

Back fields, bees and Buckel: Day Two in Surprise
This week I'm taking in my first visit to Surprise, Arizona for Rangers Spring Training, and I'm bringing you with me. If you missed the recap of Day One of my trip, check it out right here.
From what I can gather, you go through a few different phases during Spring Training as a player,coach and executive.
1. There's the initial burst of excitement over getting back to a baseball field and rediscovering your passion for the game you love. This period is great – until you grow weary of the numerous of meetings, practices, simulated situations and other minutia that, while important, is not why anyone signed up to be a part of this game. All during this time, you're chomping at the bit to start playing something that at least resembles a game.
2. You eventually do move into this phase, but they're not real games (granted, Spring Training games are not really like real games, but at least it's somewhat close); they're more like scrimmages that you play against the same people you've been practicing against for the last week or two.
3. Just when you get to the point where you're mentally over the idea of facing the same opponent day after day, you start games against other organizations, which is a major refresher for the mind.
4. Then, you just get sick and tired of being in Arizona for up to two months and playing the role of "human sunny-side up egg" in the roasting desert sun. You want to get the season underway and start playing games that count (with real stats too).
The big leaguers are in the midst of Phase 3, while the minor leaguers have just gotten to Phase 2, which I watched begin in earnest on Monday morning at the Rangers' Spring Training complex in Surprise. Along the way, I witnessed the start of a comeback, a rebirth, the long-term future and the bizarre before finishing the day with a Hall of Famer.
7:45 a.m. – As I alluded to at the end of yesterday's post, I was not going to play the role of fool two days in a row (at least in this specific respect) and get microwaved by the southwest sun once again. Upon the recommendation of the helpful hotel lobby person, I headed over the nearby "99 ¢ Only Store" (because dollar stores are considered too bourgeoisie here) to purchase some sunscreen. Now, I was just as suspicious as you probably are reading this about buying 99-cent sunscreen. "Wouldn't splashing a layer of water on your skin be at least equally effective?" Yeah, that ran through my head, but my faith in "Hypoderm Sunscreen" (Note to anyone who thought, "Why didn't I think of an amazing name like that?": it's not a registered trademark, apparently) was rewarded. My burns from Sunday were reasonably contained and my skin did not start falling off at any point. And I feel like a true bargain hunter after spotting this attempt on eBay to charge some poor sap $12.99+shipping for three of these babies. The whole episode felt a little like hitting a three-point bank shot that you didn't call.
8:15 a.m. – Things are still fairly quiet by the time I reach the complex, probably due to the fact that fans won't be let into the facility until 10 a.m. There are a few hitters getting some early work in and some of the big leaguers are trickling in for the day. The Rangers clubhouse is divided into two sides: one for the major leaguers and one for the minor leaguers. The minor league clubhouse is a lot bigger, but more crowded because there are so many more players in that camp. I am a bit surprised at how nice the minor league clubhouse is, however. I wasn't necessarily expecting Bull Durham or some high school level accommodations, but I wasn't expecting it to be nearly equal in many respects to the big league side. The lockers are made of wood (like the major leaguers) and are certainly an acceptable size, the flood is nicely carpeted and it has a welcoming tone to it. It's much better than many road stadium clubhouses (and some home ones too) I've seen in my baseball travels.
On this particular morning, I meet Alex "Chi-Chi" Gonzalez in the clubhouse and we talk about his outing in the big league "A" game the day before. He allowed three of the four men he faced to reach base before being removed after hitting his 20-pitch limit. A pair of meekly-hit grounders were able to sneak through for hits, so he isn't overly negative about his performance even though all three men came home to score later in the inning. As for his nickname (which he prefers to go by, by the way), Chi-Chi says it was given to him by his grandfather's brother; he nicknamed Gonzalez' two older sisters Nina and Nene, so Chi-Chi seemed to fit the bill for Alex.
9 a.m. – Pockets of minor league hitters are taking batting practice out on the back fields (the big leaguers practice on the two fields closest to the stadium/clubhouse). I stumble upon the BP group that folks who love prospects dream about: Joey Gallo, Nick Williams, Lewis Brinson and Nomar Mazara. Like many, I've heard a lot about these players but have never seen them in person (Ronald Guzman and Jorge Alfaro are also among the super-prospects who are super-young and populated Hickory's Avengers-like squad last season). Like many, I am impressed at first glance. I didn't realize how big they all were. At 6'3″, Brinson is the shrimp of the group. The others are either 6'4″ or 6'5″ and aren't just tall rods with pine tar on their batting gloves. They're built like stallions and we may see one or two gallop to Frisco by the end of 2014 if things go well.
I have a nice conversation about Cody Buckel with rehab pitching coordinator Keith Comstock, who says that Buckel is throwing the ball as well as he ever has. Buckel, the Rangers' 2012 Nolan Ryan Minor League Pitcher of the Year, suffered a bad case of the yips last season and spent most of the campaign rewiring himself mentally and mechanically. I hadn't heard much about Cody since the end of the season and am excited to see him pitch later in the day.
9:30 a.m. – The pitchers meet as a group with new farm director Mike Daly right next to the tall observation structure pictured at the start of the blog entry and it's not long before Daly is about to give another talk to the hitters. It's recommended that I join the group if I want a cool history lesson. Daly proceeds to educate the players about notable players from the 1966 MLB draft. The first overall pick was Steve Chilcott by the Mets – a seven-year minor leaguer who never reached the show. The second pick did slightly better. His name is Reggie Jackson. Daly tells the group about Reggie's career and his epic performances in the World Series before finishing up by talking about the sixth overall pick from that draft: none other than Tom Grieve. I later speak with Daly and we talk about his history lesson. He's concerned about the relative lack of knowledge many young players have about players who came before them, so he makes it a point to relay some history during camp through his own lessons and visits from legends like Pudge Rodriguez and others. Hopefully Texas' minor leaguers can avoid the fate of Josh Hart.
10 a.m. – After the meetings wrap up, it's more practice time on the back fields. The four fields are filled with defensive drills, bunt plays and batting practice. I'll see infield work before games throughout the season, but never 20-30 minutes' worth with every pitcher also taking part in these simulated situations. These are the minor leagues, and the minors are all about development. We see that over the course of the season, but the foundation is laid right here.
11:30 a.m. – Most of the big leaguers have left the practice fields to get ready for that afternoon's game against the Reds, but not everyone has headed back to the clubhouse. On the infield-only field, Greg Maddux is hitting ground balls back to Matt Harrison, Nick Tepesch and Tommy Hanson. So not only the minor league guys work on fielding, and what better mound defender to learn from than Maddux, who only racked up a record 18 Gold Gloves during his Hall of Fame career. With not a whole lot else going on, a crush of fans flock to get in prime autograph position for when the session is over (for Tepesch, obviously).
On my way back to the big league side, I have a short chat with Rangers manager Ron Washington who is about to drive his golf back to the clubhouse. I wish him luck this season at the end of our conversation, to which he responds, "Well thank you baby!" and drives off.
12 noon – I meet Brandon Boyd, who is one of the Rangers' clubhouse managers and also a former RoughRiders employee. Brandon oversaw the 'Riders clubhouse from 2005-09 before moving on to Arlington. He takes me into the big league clubhouse, where I catch up with several familiar faces: Mitch Moreland, a RoughRider in 2009 and a rehabber in 2012 & '13; Ryan Feierbend, a 2013 'Rider who would throw a scoreless inning in relief of Yu Darvish later in the day; and Brett Nicholas, Frisco's best offensive player in 2013. Nicholas has been with the big club for the spring, mostly as a catcher after spending nearly all of last year at first base. Most of the clubhouse is vacant, but that is probably because it is when media is allowed in for interviews (nobody likes the media, especially radio guys).
On my way back to the minor leaguers, I stop to talk to Harrison, who I met during his rehab stint with Frisco last summer. Harrison will pitch for the first time in Tuesday's game and says he feels completely healthy for the first time in a very long time. He says 2013 was agonizing, but feels like he is in great shape and is ready to get back to what made him an All-Star in 2012.
12:15 p.m. – I return to the back fields to watch the three intersquad games being played (the start of Phase 2 of Spring Training). Basically, all of the players in camp are mixed into random teams and pitted against one another for games that would last approximately five innings. This is once of the coolest parts of the day. On Field 5 I see Jorge Alfaro lace a Kevin Pucetas knuckleball to right-center for a triple. Pucetas is reinventing himself as a knuckleball pitcher after toying with the pitch in Frisco last season. Despite the Alfaro three-bagger, the knucklers dance enough that Pucetas does not allow another baserunner.
When I turn to Field 4, I watch Alex Claudio end an inning with a pickoff at second base with Juremi Profar batting and later Jon Edwards hits 98 on the radar gun. It is tough to keep up with all three games at once, so I miss some action but thoroughly enjoy what I did see. And the players seem to enjoy playing in games for the first time since last season. The minor league guys will play intersquad games on Tuesday and Wednesday before squaring off against other organizations beginning Thursday.
Soon enough, it's Buckel's turn to pitch and I am not disappointed. Cody looks a lot like the 2012 Cody; the one who struck out 9.9 batters per nine innings and displayed impeccable control. Buckel gets a strikeout and ultimately retires three of the four men he faces. Afterwards, he tells me that it felt good to finally pitch in his first game action since a pair of early-August AZL contests. He says he didn't attack the strike zone the way he has in recent bullpens, but chalks that up to the long delay in facing live batters.
As an aside, I don't want to make Buckel's outing out to be more than it was. It was a good step in the right direction after a nightmare 2013, not a guarantee that he will never struggle again on the mound in the minors. I hope that he can string outings like this together and get his career back to where it was, and then beyond. Monday was not a definitive answer to anything, but it certainly was encouraging to see.
2 p.m. – Following the intersquad games, I head back to Surprise Stadium, where the Rangers and Reds are well underway. But before I can enter the stadium through the team offices, I encounter an obstacle I just am not expecting: bees. Lots of them. A stone column that sits between the office and the stadium concourse apparently gathered an enormous mass of bees over the span of an hour. There was no hive there previously; they just all swarmed to that spot and just stayed. I'm told it's probably not safe to walk past them and that pest control is on its way. I agree that missing an inning or so of a Spring Training game in exchange for avoiding hundreds of simultaneous bee stings is probably a fair trade. It isn't long before a group of close to a dozen people (including Rangers special assistant and former pitcher Darren Oliver) join me to watch the extermination.
A photo essay of the kill:
2:15 p.m. – The Rangers and Reds are in the fifth inning by the time I get past the bees and into the stadium. Yu Darvish is finishing up his outing and both teams get ready to send in position players that 95% of the stadium has never heard of. Now 11 years old, Billy Parker Field at Surprise Stadium holds up very well and seems to be an enjoyable place to watch a game. There's a big Monday crowd on hand; hopefully most of them do not leave with bee stings.
3:15 p.m. – Because I did not get the chance to see him on Sunday, I make a stop by the Rangers' broadcast booth to see Eric
Nadel. I've met Eric a few times at Rangers games and he has always been kind to me. Rangers fans are lucky to have had him for so long and I wasn't the only one who was very happy for his Hall of Fame election this past off-season. I don't want to take too much of his and Matt Hicks' time during the game, but I congratulate Eric on the honor during an inning break and then scoot out of the booth. In the radio booth right next door, fellow Hall of Fame broadcaster Marty Brennaman is broadcasting for the Reds' radio network. Eric calls Marty one of his career mentors.
3:40 p.m. – The Rangers wrap up an 8-2 win over Cincinnati as former RoughRiders Neftali Feliz and Nicholas form the game-ending battery. It's Texas' first win since Thursday against San Diego and the last game I'll see at Surprise Stadium during my stay in Arizona. The team heads to Camelback Ranch in Glendale to play the White Sox on Tuesday and I'll be there for at least some of it as I hit the home stretch of my stay in the desert.
As always thanks for reading,

Washington vs Philadelphia Game Final 7-1 - Gio Gonzalez Earns Win
Washington moneyline bettors cashed on Saturday courtesy of a 7-1 win against the Philadelphia Phillies at Nationals Park.
Bettors who backed the Nationals were rewarded as -119 favorites at sportsbooks. Over-Under bettors saw the total score go OVER the closing total of 6.5.
Gio Gonzalez earned the victory for the Nationals, throwing 7 innings of work, striking out 7, walking 1, and allowing 4 hits and 1 earned run. That effort was supported by 3 RBIs from Jayson Werth in the win.
Philadelphia got a 6-inning outing from Vance Worley in the loss. He gave up 5 earned runs, 2 walks and 11 hits in his time on the mound, while Hunter Pence had 2 hits in the loss for the Phillies.
The battle of the bats favored Washington as they had 15 hits, while Philadelphia only had 5.

A super fun weekend solo scrambling mission in Snowdonia, Wales
October 1, 2014
Running in the United Kingdom and now on the Isle of Man made me realize why Gore-Tex is put into shoes. Growing up in Colorado, Gore-Tex was usually only in "winter trail running" shoes, which sounds about as much fun as volunteering to be tortured. But on Great Britain, and the Isle of Man, there are these ferocious bogs that are completely camouflaged by high grass. One moment you're trotting along on dry ground and suddenly you're knee-deep in black mud.
September 30, 2014
Davinia and I spent a week exploring the Isle of Man, a relatively small island state in between Great Britain and Ireland. Her mother and her mom's partner did a fantastic job of showing us around, feeding us (really, really well), and just generally being awesome.

The crew over at Powder.kz put together this rad footage for a Backcountry Season compilation, which I am honored to be a part of.
September 16, 2014
Much like a person on drugs, my mind was consumed by the frozen dairy treat. I could only make barely understandable comments about how fantastic the dessert was in between licks, oblivious to the world around me, losing track of time and space as I became one with the food. Little did I know evil forces were spying from above on my every bite, every movement, and calculating their attack.

- Bump PORTREVISION on dependent ports.
net-im/jabber: This port used the old API to give users fine grained
control over which crypto algorithms were used via a configuration file.
It's not immediately obvious how to port this to the new API so the port
always uses the defaults now.

multimedia/{lib}x264: Update to 0.144.2533 and major refactor
- Update to 0.144.2533 (from upstream stable branch) [1]
- Switch x264 and libx264 ports to master/slave ports respectively
- Bump PORTREVISION for dependent ports as the shared library version
has changed.
- Clean up and update "updating instructions" in Makefile header
- Tweak COMMENT
- Only LIB_DEPENDS on libx264 and add PLIST_FILES if this isn't the
libx264 port.
- Allow COMMENT, USES, OPTIONS_*, CONFIGURE_ARGS to be overriden in
libx264 port.
- Update multimdedia/ffmpeg to latest upstrem version 2.7.1
- Mark ports BROKEN that were discovered not to work with
this update; discovered by exp-run in bug 201181
- Note the need for manual upgrade of dependent ports in

multimedia/ffmpeg: Convert memalign-hack into an option
DragonFly already has an aligned malloc (posix_memalign) and the hack
in ffmpeg is tripping an assertion. M.Dillon thinks the hack is stale.
In the spirit of no-op changes for FreeBSD, this changeset converts
the "--enable-memalign-hack" into an on-by-default option, and then
excludes the option for DragonFly.
It does incur a revbump though.
The last changes were made to multimedia/ffmpeg(0|26)
I'm doing this under "non-invasive DragonFly support" flag
P.S. I wouldn't be surprised if --enable-memalign-hack is wrong for
recent FreeBSD releases as well, so maybe the maintainers should take
a look at this new option.

multimedia/x264: General overhaul
- Split x264 into two ports: the CLI application (x264), and the library
(libx264). This will allow x264 to use lavf and friends from ffmpeg for
decoding and demuxing while preventing a circular dependency between the
two: x264 can depend on ffmpeg, but ffmpeg will depend on libx264 rather
than x264.
- Add the LAVF option to the CLI port, making the dependency on ffmpeg
- Update to 0.142.2455.
- Amend fixes to local patches so that they can apply to the new upstream
- Provide the git revision and other version information to the build
environment, allowing the CLI binary to display this information (like the
Windows builds).
- Remove unsupported build options (X11_OUTPUT).
- Ensure that the library and CLI ports each have the appropriate options.
- Add notes for future contributors who wish to update the ports.
- Bump PORTREVISION for all dependent ports.

a zeising, kwm production, with help from dumbbell, bdrewery:
This update switches over to use the new xorg stack by default on FreeBSD 9
and 10 stable, on osversions where vt(9) is available.
It is still possible to use the old stack by specifying WITHOUT_NEW_XORG in

FreeBSD 8-STABLE and released versions of FreeBSD still use
the old version.
A package repository with binary packages for new xorg will

Technique and condition
Watercolour sketch on an off-white, wove paper. There is some discolouration and localised staining, but in general the support is in fair condition. The watercolour depicts a seascape with a wild sea in the foreground made up of loose, feathery brushstokes, ranging to thinner washes and applications of colour in the background. The media appears to be in sound condition but slight darkening of the support overall may have lead to changes in the balance of the composition.

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
Leave a Review
This is great! I used crumbly Mexican cheese instead of the Monterey jack but otherwise folllowed the recipe exactly. I consider this a wonderful weeknight dinner option--I have all of these ingredients on-hand usually.
Really delicious. I made it because I had looked up another recipe in the same article that I had previously prepared. I added a little more chili powder. We drank a spicy red wine with it.
This recipe, with some modifications, is one of our family favorites. I add more spices, including cumin seeds, green and yellow diced peppers, chile powder, and fresh or frozen diced green chile, along with more onion and Rotel canned tomatoes, I also mix the cooked pasta with the sauce in the pan before serving.
I'm surprised by some of the low ratings - I use this recipe as one of my back-ups on a day that I need to make something quick, but want it to be healthy/lowfat and homemade. My whole family will eat it, it satisfies a pasta/carb craving, and isn't a typical pasta dish.... I often use 50% fat cheese. Very tastey.
This was a nice twist to "Monday Macaroni". But the jury is still out on whether I would re make this dish. I created more sauce, I as other subscribers, found it too dry. It was definately a fast, easy to prepare meal but not that remarkable.
One fork looks so negative; but it truly was "just so-so". The ground turkey sauce wasn't bad at all as written, but it was too dry for my liking. You could jazz it up to suit your tastes. I didn't get the pairing with rigatoni at all. First because the "sauce" didn't coat the pasta, it was like eating ground meat sprinkled on plain pasta, and also because I think the southwestern flavor would have been more vibrant with rice.
Oops, forgot to mention that I also used fire-roasted diced tomatoes instead of those mentioned in the recipe.
With a few adjustments, this wasn't bland. I used some vidalia onion, chipotle powder instead of chili powder, doubled the spices per another suggestion and added worcestershire sauce and red wine to the sauce to richen it. I didn't have fresh coriander, so I used ground coriander instead. I also used cheddar. Loved it!
i appreciate everyone's enthusiasm for this recipe; that's the reason i decided to make it. but it didn't do much for me. i added the mexican style tomatoes as suggested and a little extra heat, but i thought the recipe was still unexciting. i'll stick with the mac 'n cheese, ground beef, and canned tomato soup concoction if i'm interested in duplicating the mouth feel of this recipe.
After reading some of the reviews, I altered the recipe a bit. I used 1 medium sweet onion, thin sliced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1/2 yellow pepper, sliced; 1 T chili powder, 1/2 t cumin, 1/4 t cayenne pepper, 3/4 lb ground turkey; 1 14.5-oz can Mexican stewed tomatoes, 1 8-oz can tomato sauce, 1 c fresh corn. Serve on thin multi-grain spagetti and garnish with black beans and shredded medium cheddar. Just enough for my family of four. This recipe was a huge hit and I will definitely make it again.

Mick Halford's Certerach remains on course for a tilt at the Ascot Gold Cup after his heroics in the Dubai Gold Cup at Meydan.
The six-year-old ran a huge race to hold Cavalryman by a neck in the Group Two contest on World Cup night, with connections having a few anxious moments before a stewards' inquiry confirmed the result.
Halford told At The Races: "He was back home the Tuesday after, he's been in the paddock since and he's fresh and well.
"We'll start back riding him maybe tomorrow.
"I'm still enjoying the success, but I think we will train him with Royal Ascot in mind and we'd love to have a tilt at the Melbourne Cup later in the year if we think he will get in."

Atiu Island
Atiu is over eight million years old and the third largest island in
the Cooks
. This island is an ecologist's dream – and a magnet for the adventurer. A volcanic mass which has risen up out of the sea to be surrounded by a raised coral limestone reef named makatea. Its utter peace and harmony with nature certainly belay the island's reputation of having harboured some of the fiercest warriors of the Southern Cooks , who constantly laid siege on their smaller neighbours in
Sandy beaches on Atiu are scattered and secluded - but there are many to discover tucked like little secrets into the coast. Unspoiled and lush with dense rainforest and an unexpected central plateau – according to legend when the Polynesians landed on Atiu's white crested shores, birds and insects were its only life.
A True Island Escape
As one of the three southern group islands known as Nga-Pu-Toru, Atiu attracts the spirited explorer. With no nightclubs, virtually no township, around 400 people and a couple of cafes and precious little traffic – this is a true island escape.
Life is pretty much the same as it was 25 years ago and offers a genuine insight into island living with its five small villages of Tengatangi, Areora, Ngatiarua, Mapumai and Teenui nestled in the centre. Gardens thrive on its rich soil and on certain days the soft aroma of organically grown coffee beans roasting wafts past from plantations that produce some of the best Arabica coffee in the Pacific.
Beautiful Birdlife
However today Atiu's special appeal is the birdlife that will leave you breathless – birds flourish in the forest that thrives on the makatea, festooned as it is with rare giant ferns and abundant foliage. The rarest bird, the Kopeka, is a tiny swiftlet that navigates its flight in pitch black, sensing its journey using its bat-like sonar power. Found nowhere else in the world it lives inside limestone caves that line the island.
Atiu is a trip for the intrepid. But for the ornithologists this island is a haven for viewing the exotic plumes of the Tavake, the White Capped Noddy, the Great Frigate and the Brown Bobby (no prizes for the naming rights on the last three!). The endangered Kakerori and the colourful Kura flit around historical sites. In fact some 11 native birds, the loudest of which is the blue kingfisher, with its calls through the still of the jungle, can be found here.
Ancient Caves
And for the intrepid, a walk through the fantastic dense tropical jungle covering the makatea leads to Anatakitaki Cave where an astonishing three caverns harbour clear cool pools of water, stalagmites, stalactites and a high natural cathedral ceiling above. The caves, which riddle the makatea coastline, were often used as burial grounds and ancient artefacts can be found deep in the chambers. The Te Ana o Raka, with its amazing 15 chambers was the home of the Rakanui family. Nurau and Vai Akaruru are deep subterranean waters which cave divers dream about with their 50m depths.
But if you think it's only the lofty bird levels that hold appeal on this lush flatland – try a traditional rite that ends many a day for even the most diligent bird lover. Some of the Maoris found the missionary influence just a tad too much and when they were told "no drinking" they simply took to the bush and began their own ritual of the tumunu; a very convivial activity named after the brewing barrels which are carved out of the thickest part of the coconut palm.
It involves passing round a half coconut filled with fermented fruit juice while sitting in a circle chatting. Opened and closed with a prayer, the ceremony has clear codes of conduct. But ultimately after a couple of swigs of this lethal potion, the chat becomes somewhat indecipherable. It certainly beats pub crawling.
