The Drama Club Steals the Show Once Again!
Yankees Win in Walkoff Fashion and Take Series
It was another exciting, dramatic game yesterday. The Yankees lived up to the name I gave them on my post yesterday. They truly are "The Drama Club." The walkoff was fun to watch, as well as the celebratory "pieing" afterwords. The Yankees beat the Blue Jays yesterday by the score of 4-3.
Pitching Analysis: A.J. "The Assassin" Burnett started for the Yanks yesterday. He went 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 10 hits (9 of which were singles) and 3 costly wild pitches. Along the way, he struck out 7. A.J. had good stuff yesterday, perhaps it was too good. His curveball had almost too much movement, and it sent Posada scrambling for the ball too many times! A.J. started out a bit shaky, and then settled down. He had a 25 pitch first, but did not allow any runs. In the 2nd, Randy Ruiz hit a leadoff home run which tied the game at 1. Then A.J. had an esy 3rd, and easy 4th, and an easy 5th, which helped bring his pitch count back down to a respsctable level.
In the 6th, things fell apart for A.J. Ruiz got a 1 out single, followed by a single by Encarnacion. Then A.J. threw a wild pitch, which allowed the runners to go to 2nd and 3rd, still with just 1 out. Chavez singled, bringing the score to 3-2. After getting Inglett to strike out, A.J. allowed another wild pitch, which scored the tieing run!
Coke, Robertson, and Hughes combined for 3 scoreless innings of relief. But the game went into extras, and Girardi called on newcomer Chad Gaudin. Girardi said that Gaudin could go 85 pitches if needed. He only needed 44, and he picked up his first win as a Yankee.
The pitching was good yesterday. A.J. was strong, it was just the wild pitches that killed him. After the game, he was asked about the wild pitches, and he refused to comment on them. I wouldn't want to get on A.J.'s bad side!
Defensive Analysis: The defense was once again solid yesterday, which is always important in close games. Jeter had to leave the game in the 3rd, after he toughed out a foot injury due to getting hit by a pitch in the first. He was replaced by Ramiro Pena. Pena was immediately tested out, and he got tangled up on a sharply hit ball by Adam Lind. It was scored a hit, but Ramiro probably could've made the play.
Ramiro quickly redeemed himself. In the 4th, Edwin Encarnacion hit a ridiculously hard liner to Ramiro's right. It looked like a hit all the way. But Ramiro extended his body to the fullest, and dived to make an unbelievable play. A.J. liked what he saw.
Offensive Analysis: The Yankees only got 7 hits, but they got the hits that really counted. In the 1st, Jeter got plunked in the foot and Damon doubled. Then Jorge came up with the bases loaded, and hit a ball to Aaron Hill that should've been a double play. It was booted by Hill, and Jorge got himself an RBI groundout from it. 1-0 Yankees.
These poor Bombers! :(
In the 3rd, as I was eating my lunch, Johnny Damon hit a home run to lead off the inning, giving the Yanks a 2-1 lead. I always say it, but I'm going to say it again: THE YANKEES HAVE TO BE RETARDED IF THEY DON'T SIGN JOHNNY DAMON!!! Damon has done nothing but good things for this team. He has been consistently good year after year. And because of the new stadium, Johnny has adjusted his swing to become more of a pull hitter, due to that short porch in right. He said that he wants to come back to the Yankees. I think the Yankees should give him everything he wants. If they don't sign him, who are they going to get to replace him? Johnny is too valuable to this team to let go of.
Anyway, Robinson Cano hit a leadoff homer in the 4th, giving the Yanks a 3-1 lead. The game went into extras, and in the 11th, the Yankees were set up. Arod got plunked in the elbow with 1 out, and he was in an enormous amount of pain. I thought he was going to cry, the poor baby was wincing so much. On his way to first base, he flicked under his eye with his finger. Was he crying a bit? Probably not, but there is nothing wrong with that if he did cry. I don't understand why men can't show any emotion. It makes no sense to me!
Anyway, with Arod on first, Posada singled, and Cano came up. Cano was not trying to hit a homer; he knew that all they needed was a single. He hit a ball all the way to the wall, I thought it was a homer, but it went off the wall. Arod scored, and the Yankees won the ballgame in 11 innings! Cano got pied, and all was well for the Drama Club yesterday.
A happy, clean Cano celebrating the win.
What a game! Again! The heroes for the victory are Robinson Cano, for the walkoff single, Johnny Damon for coming up with 2 timely hits, a double and a homer, which added up to runs, and Chad Gaudin, for making a nice impression on New Yorkers and for picking up his first win as a member of the Drama Club. I wish you many more to come, Chad. The Red Sox won, so the Yankee lead remains at 5.5. I hope the Yankees continue playing well, because my 16th birthday is on Sunday, and I really want them to win for me! GO YANKEES! I LUV U!
Cano's first taste of Victory pie.
A pie-covered Cano. Look at A.J's face. You can tell he wants to laugh, but he has to remain angry. I love that man! He adds so much character to this team!

That's right a pie in the face from AJ Burnett to Robinson Cano. I found that quite fun. I hope this isn't the last time Burnett throws a pie at a game winning player's hit. That was an awesome way to win the game. Too bad some Yankees got hurt before, but I'm sure they'll come back soon.
Matthew Tang
A-Rod looks like he may have gotten hit somewhere other than the elbow in that photo…LOL Hope they are both ok!!
Hokay, if you want to keep using it, God bless and go forward, don't let the man (me) get you down.
It's gonna take a while for me to do the nickname post because I'm very distracted today, I'm thinking about somebody and… so I'm going to take a while.
-Momma said knock you out
guys getting hit, pie's in the face, guess they are a Drama Club… but which one is the drama queen?..:-)
Outside the Phillies looking In
Yah, I the Yankees would be pretty stupid to not sign Johnny Damon.
I love the pie-in-the-face pictures.
The Yankees have to win on your birthday, Virginia! I really hope Chad will come through and pitch more efficiently than he did last night (40+ pitches in two innings?). The Yanks didn't win on my birthday, so I'm really hoping you have better luck with them!
I'm really loving the late inning heroics from the Yankees. I can't wait for the Fenway series but that could end in disaster!
Alex definitely looked like he was in a lot of pain, and said later that his hand was numb. There's a lot of nerve endings in the elbow and if you get there in just the right spot, it can make your whole arm go dead. He had a scheduled off-day today anyway so I doubt he'll be in the lineup, same with Derek Jeter. CC may have to win with the D lineup behind him, but I think he can pull it off.
As for the team as a whole, they are doing what they need to do to win games. I want 100 victories this season and we need 29 to go. If that means blowing teams out, so be it. If that means walk-offs in extra innings, so be it. The team is hungry, they want to win. So let them.
And AJ needs to invest in some pie tins for the whipped cream – he'll get more splatter and therefore more impact that way.
*These late-game wins are what it's all about. If you can't win by blowing a team out of the water, you have to find a way to win the games that "should" be losses. That's exactly what we're doing this season… I think I've typed the word 'walk-off' 8,465 times this year. Looking forward to number 8,466…
Wow. Can they just win one in a boring 4-1 type game? It's gotta be good to keep coming out on the winning side of those nail biters. If they can heal their multiple contusions, and stay hot late in the year, we'll (The World Champion Philadelphia Phillies) will be seeing you in the WS. Bring your batting coach, Cliff Lee is kind of good. And Pedro???? Heeeee's baaaaaaack!
The Drama Club strikes again!! The Yankees face something very critical right here. You showed the pictures of Jeter and A-Rod getting hit. I think that if they feel any soreness at all tonight, they should not be starting. With CC on the mound, you can afford a little less offense. Its really important to protect these guys right now, with the light at the end of the tunnel beginning to appear. The Red Sox also lost today, so its not the end of the world if you lose. I really hope Girardi is careful with these guys, we need them down the stretch.
The Yankees are too good for everyone. They are going to win the WS. Good luck with everything haha, I have nothing to root for, the Tribe isn't going to the postseason… Check out my blog at
I was so sad the VMART got traded, at least we got Justin in return!🙂 I was also sad that he cried when he got traded, after all Cleveland was his home.😦 Well its okay and now he is the RED SOX deal. Thanks for commenting.
Hey girl!
Just wanted to stop by and say enjoy the west coast tour! LOL! Wonder how the Yanks will deal with the curse of the west…hmmm…
My daughter loves your blog btw, she is learning to read, so she loves that it's all about her beloved Yankees on here! Keep up the great work!
Haha Iwonder what kind of pies those are. Looks fun but messy. Your Yankees are definitely hot, and getting hotter. They are the team to beat.
"This post is amazing. YOU are amazing."
=O Why Virginia, if I didn't know any better I'd say you were coming on to me!
I come up with those nicknames quickly, they just come to me, so, I'm glad you like 'em.
-Disgruntled 12 year old with girl troubles
I saw that – you admitting to thinking Jacoby Ellsbury is cute! Is that not against the code of being a Yankees fan?😉 LOL!
You should just make a post of the best looking guys in basbeball and get it over with!🙂
The pie pictures are great! Looks like you guys have some great chemistry going.
It will be interesting to see what happens on the road for both of us!

- Capacitive sensor-based fluid level measurement in a dynamic environment using neural network
- Author(s)

- Abstract
- A measurement system has been developed using a single tube capacitive sensor to accurately determine the fluid level in non-stationary tanks, namely automotive fuel tanks. The system determines the fluid level in the presence of dynamic slosh. A neural network-based approach is used to process the sensor signal and achieve substantial accuracy compared with the averaging method, which is normally used under such conditions. The sensor readings were obtained by experimentation carried out under various dynamic conditions. The sensor response was recorded at various slosh frequencies and fuel volumes; which was then used to train three different neural network topologies. Field trials were carried out to obtain the actual driving data for the purpose of testing the neural networks using MATLAB software. One static neural network topology, namely Feed-forward Backpropagation Neural Network, and two dynamic neural network topologies, namely Distributed Time Delay Neural Network and NARX Neural Network, have been investigated in this work. The developed fluid level measurement system is capable of determining the fluid level in a dynamic environment with a maximum error of 8.7% by using the two dynamic neural networks, and 0.11% using the static feed-forward backpropagation neural network.

Angela Perley & the Howlin' Moons
1 p.m., Off Ramp Stage
Taking her cues from the bold ladies of classic Americana country, Angela Perley's vocal whippoorwill twang and down-home lyrics are so darling they will keep you up at night. Even when she's singing about murder, she's charming, and her backing Howlin' Moons never fail to keep up. Hearing their songs is like being transported to a forgotten time, when breaking bread together was a religion and kisses were best stolen by the railroad tracks. —Jackie Mantey
Way Yes
8 p.m., Bozo Stage
Way Yes is like a beach vacation without having to shell out for a plane ticket. The 2011 Alive Bands to Watch honorees whip up fresh, friendly melodies and celebratory beats on myriad percussion instruments. Their breezy music, which is partly influenced by African and Brazilian traditions, is good company. Way Yes is a band you should not stop watching any time soon. —Heather Gross
Winter Makes Sailors
8:15 p.m., Off Ramp Stage
Sean Gardner's shoe-gaze folk is instantly evocative of Elliott Smith — the vocals are eerily similar — only minus the oppressive gloom. The infusion of subtle pop sensibilities makes the music even stronger. If the lyrics, "Alcohol, it takes your money, marijuana mixed with honey" don't play well with ComFest attendees, I don't know what will. —Jesse Tigges
The Regrettes
9 p.m., Bozo Stage
Some might bristle at a band headlining ComFest mere months after its first gig, but damn do The Regrettes deserve it. Theirs is old-school soul of a high caliber — girl-group R&B delivered with rip-roaring swagger by dual lead singers with star power. The partnership between Mehgan Alexandra Hutchinson and Lizzy Morris crackles with charisma and allure, and the skilled band backing them is smart enough to stay out of their way. —Chris DeVille
She Bears
9:45 p.m., Off Ramp Stage
Can you be energetic and lazy at the same time? She Bears' brand of slacker pop seems to be the perfect soundtrack to wind up and wind down on Saturday. Stephen Pence and the gang close out the day's festivities on the Off Ramp Stage. —Brad Keefe

Effective test-driven database development
Although test-driven development is now considered common sense in the OO world, it is very rare in database development. This session looks at the reasons behind this and presents solutions and best practices for test-driven database development. Database TDD and testing is analysed from two aspects: unit-testing in the database (stored procedures,views) and integration testing from the object service/web layer down to the database. I also present DbFit, an extension to FIT/FitNesse that makes database TDD easy This session is aimed at database developers, technical architects and Java/.NET developers working on enterprise applications.

PDK Development is More Difficult Than EverPDK development groups are under pressure as never before. The exploding complexity of CMOS design rules at 65/45nm and below has dramatically increased the effort needed to develop and maintain advanced process design kits. At the same time, many semiconductor companies are freezing or reducing the budget available for PDK development. PDK groups are caught in the middle: asked to produce much more complex design kits in the same or even less time; yet with no increase in resources.
In addition, many PDK groups are being asked to support other EDA tools besides Cadence Virtuoso®. PyCells are supported in all OpenAccess-compliant EDA tools used in custom IC design: Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys Galaxy Custom Designer®, Laker™, Mentor Graphics Calibre® and many others. SKILL PCells run only in Cadence tools without the use of third-party products like PCell Xtreme.
Best of all, everything you need to develop PyCells is FREE. Download the PyCell Studio development system and the Interoperable PCell Library.
PyCell Studio is a free product, available for download now. It does not require a license manager or any licensing mechanism.

Last year, Israel Sanchez, a 31-year-old Newton, Kan., resident, was painting the blades of wind turbines for Enertech, Inc., a small-scale wind manufacturer. Now he's assembling the entire system.
"They promoted me," says Sanchez, taking a quick break from the assembly line in the 10,000 square-foot plant in Newton. "It's a new field for me, but I'm excited because it's all new experiences every day."
Sanchez is assembling Enertech's new wind models using an innovative blade design licensed from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colo., on its 40 kW turbines.
The small business, located about 15 miles from Wichita, Kan., received a 48C Advanced Energy Manufacturing Tax Credit worth over $157,000 to accommodate the development, production and assembly of the new models—which have designs similar to aircraft wings.
"Every little bit helps," says Dale Jones, president of Enertech. "[The federal tax credit] helped in two regards: obviously we are hiring people, like Israel, to build the blades and it also helps NREL with their endeavors to bring government-funded technology to the marketplace."
NREL's airfoil technology increases the aerodynamic efficiency of the blades and therefore energy output. Enertech, which has been in the small-scale wind business since 1971, makes systems for homes, farms, businesses and schools.
For the $500,000 project, the company called upon aviation engineers in Wichita, a city that has one of the largest aviation industries in the country, to help develop production methods and test the new blades at its facility.
According to the American Wind Energy Association, small-scale wind systems can save residents and small businesses up to 20 percent on their utility bills, depending on wind speed in the area and how many systems are running.
A prototype was installed in May by the team and passed all the tests. Production of the new systems started this month.
With a goal of 300 units a year, the company needs to bring on more people to help produce them, Jones says.
Help wanted
"Enertech is hiring!" declares an electronic help wanted sign on the company's website. The company has added six new employees in the last eight months, boosting its workforce to 20, and aims to hire six more workers soon.
Sanchez used to work at Bunting Mechanics, a manufacturer of metals and plastics, but moved over to Enertech late last year to help with blade painting. When Enertech's management realized the company was going to expand, they decided to train Sanchez on production. After weeks of mentoring, Sanchez was officially on the assembly line.
"I learn something new all the time, and I'm just glad that I got a chance to do this," Sanchez says. "It seems like a growing field, and I would like to stay in it."

Audi's Q7 isn't exactly a new kid on the block, the full-size SUV has been around for six years already and is due for replacement soon. Despite this fact tuning companies are still having fun with the old girl with the latest bespoke Q7 coming from British firm Project Kahn.
Project Kahn is becoming an Audi specialist with TT and A5 packages already available, so it was only a matter of time before the tuning firm would get busy on the Q7.
The philosophy of Afzal Kahn, the firm's founder, has been to combine mechanical perfection and exterior beauty but in a distinctly British way.
The reworked Q7 has received a wide-bodykit consisting of new wheel guards, custom bumpers and plenty of chrome detailing. Under the bonnet the Project Kahn Q7 has been fitted with a high-flow sports exhaust system, a stiffer suspension setup and wider tyres for more grip.

Intel Corp. has temporarily suspended shipments of its latest solid-state drives that utilize multi-level cell (MLC) flash made using 34nm process technology. Apparently, the company has found a bug in its firmware that causes data corruption.
According to numerous reports citing Intel, when a user sets a password in BIOS to limit accessibility to the drive and then either changes or removes it, data becomes corrupted. If a password is not set, the error does not occur. In order to fix the issue, Intel needs to update the firmware on its X25-M second generation SSDs, which effectively suspends shipments.
Compared to its previous 50nm version, the new Intel X25-M offers 25% reduction in latency for quicker data access. Besides, Intel X25-M delivers 6600 4KB write IOPS and up to 35000 read IOPS. The original Intel X25-M features up to 250MB/s sequential read speed and up-to 70MB/s sequential write speed and offers 1.2 million hours MTBF. Actual performance figures for the new X25-M were not revealed now.
New channel prices for the X25-M 80GB are $225 for quantities up to 1000 units (a 60% reduction from the original introduction price of $595 a year ago). The 160GB version is $440 (down from $945 at introduction) for quantities up to 1000 units. The X25-M comes in a standard 2.5" form factor.

Rematch set in Vermont US House race
MONTPELIER — Mark Donka emerged as the victor Wednesday in the GOP primary for U.S. representative, setting up a rematch of two years ago when Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., easily defeated the Hartford police officer.
The three-way contest remained very close into Wednesday, but the Associated Press called the race for Donka around 2:45 p.m. The AP, using returns it collected independently from town and city clerks, determined that Donka beat Donald Russell by just 321 votes.
The secretary of state's website Wednesday showed that 244, or nearly 89 percent of the state's 275 precincts, had reported results. Donka, according to the secretary of state's numbers, had amassed 3,749 votes, or 34 percent. Donald Russell was second with 3,566 votes, accounting for 32 percent of the vote. Donald Nolte was third with 3,121 votes, or 28 percent.
Donka will go on to challenge Welch, first elected in 2006, who did not have a primary challenge.
Meanwhile, Democratic Gov. Peter Shumlin is now certain to face off against Republican Scott Milne. Shumlin, who is seeking a third term, easily defeated primary challenger H. Brooke Paige as expected, receiving 78 percent of the vote.
Shumlin was so confident that he scheduled his vacation during the primary. His campaign issued a statement on his behalf Tuesday night after his race was called by the Associated Press.
"Serving as Vermont's governor is the greatest privilege of my life, and I'm thankful for the support I received today and over the years," Shumlin said in the statement. "In the last four years we've made great progress together, and I'm incredibly proud that Vermont is leading America in so many ways. With one of the nation's lowest unemployment rates, the top solar job creation ranking and businesses that are innovating and growing jobs, our future is bright and full of opportunity."
Milne easily won the GOP nomination over his primary foes. With 244 precincts reporting to the secretary of state's office Wednesday, Milne had a resounding 72 percent of the vote. Emily Peyton and Steve Berry, who also appeared on Tuesday's ballot, had less than 7 percent each.
But in a clear sign of lingering discontent within the state GOP, 14 percent of voters chose to write in a candidate. Most of those nearly 2,000 votes presumably are for Libertarian Dan Feliciano, who was waging an aggressive write-in campaign to thwart Milne.
Feliciano was being backed by some GOP officials, including Mark Snelling, the party's treasurer and former candidate for lieutenant governor himself. Brady Toensing, the party's vice chairman, also came out in support of Feliciano.
Most of Milne's opponents say he has not expressed sufficient opposition to Shumlin's proposed universal, publicly financed health care plan.
The support from those officials shows that an interparty squabble last fall and winter is not fully resolved. Republican Lt. Gov. Phil Scott, a moderate, picked David Sunderland to serve as the state party's chairman, but was opposed by a more conservative wing including Snelling, Toensing and Republican operative Darcie Johnston, who is volunteering on behalf of Feliciano.
Feliciano will appear on the general election ballot as the Libertarian candidate. Whether he can maintain the support he received from Republicans in the primary now that Milne has secured the GOP nomination remains to be seen. Johnston said she will continue her effort to help the Libertarian defeat both Shumlin and Milne.
The Republican Governors Association issued a statement Tuesday night congratulating Milne on his primary win. However, spokesman Jon Thompson, when asked if the group would provide significant resources to help Milne, hedged.
"The RGA is keeping a close eye on the race and we are confident Scott Milne's message of reform will resonate with voters," he wrote in an email.
Progressive Dean Corren appeared to secure enough write-in votes in the Democratic primary for lieutenant governor to secure that nomination. About 5,000 write-in votes were cast, but who received them remains unclear. Clerks were required to report the number of votes Tuesday but not for whom they were cast. Official results will be available next week when the votes are certified.
Corren, who will appear on the November ballot as a Progressive, needed at least 250 votes to win the Democratic nomination. Some Republicans and moderate Democrats were looking to write in Scott, but that effort did not appear to be as robust as Corren's effort.
Scott remains the favorite in the general election, but securing the Democratic nomination could boost Corren's chances.

is Tyson Chandler playing tonight?
or will Kenyon Martin fillin the void?
Joint of the day
April 9, 1947: Knicks win first playoff series in franchise history, defeating the Cleveland Rebels 93-71 in deciding Game Three of the Quarterfinals. Bud Palmer scores 26 points and Stan Stutz adds 25 points to lead the way.
Game preview
Behind Carmelo Anthony, the red-hot New York Knicks are riding their longest win streak since 1993-94.
Now he can help the franchise accomplish something else it hasn't done since that season.
Anthony's Knicks can clinch the club's first Atlantic Division title in 19 years Tuesday night when they try to extend their 12-game run and defeat the Washington Wizards for the 10th straight meeting at home.
New York (50-26) is enjoying its longest win streak since taking 15 straight from March 1-April 2, 1994. That club won 57 games and a third straight division title.
Now the Knicks can finally add another Atlantic crown with a victory over Washington (29-48) or a loss by Brooklyn to Philadelphia on Tuesday.
"It's the end of the season, the last month. Everybody's fighting for spots. The playoffs are right around the corner," Anthony said. "This is the best basketball."
New York also leads Central Division champion Indiana by 2 1/2 games in the race for the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks are back home after one of their most impressive victories of the season, 125-120 at reigning West champion Oklahoma City on Sunday.
"This is probably one of the biggest wins we've had in a long time," Anthony said. "Just for the simple fact that it's on the road, it's against a great Thunder team. We've been playing well."
Anthony's streak of 40-point efforts ended at three as he scored 36 to go with 12 rebounds. His 41.8 average over four games was more than good enough to earn him conference player of the week honors, and he has moved ahead of Thunder star Kevin Durant by percentage points as the league's top scorer at 28.4 points per contest.
J.R. Smith has averaged 23.8 points on 49.2 percent shooting in this run. He's the NBA's leading scorer off the bench with 17.8 points per game.
"It's all coming together at the right time so it's good for us," Smith said.
New York's nine-game run at home versus Washington is its longest current such streak against any team. The victory margin in the last six games has been by an average of 20.3 points.
Anthony has averaged 27.0 points and Raymond Felton 17.0 to help the Knicks win two of three against the Wizards this season.

is Tyson Chandler playing tonight?

Tyson out, Kenyon game time decision. We might be starting Melo at the 5 today
With the next game being at the United Center against the 'Legion of Doom' can't blame Woodson for resting Tyson and K-Mart.
Copeland will play more but who will be reponsible for stopping Wall he is just F1 into the paint.
No Chandler, Martin, Thomas or Camby???
Who's starting at the 5??? Copeland? Sorry don't get the game on TV so unable to watch...
Sent from my LG-P999
Kenyon's playing, he started at the 5. He's on a 25 min restriction though.
****ing LP, the game's not loading.
Wow, all of our bigs have been injured this season, yet we managed to play like this! Brilliant stuff.
When is Amare supposed to be coming back? Playoffs second round?
My Knicks are awesome, and this shall be the year of ultimate greatness
i want Sheed back as 1 st bench player hear from Woody he is coming
Talk bout a BOTTOM-PIT team ....
The Washington Wizards deserve 2 Top-10 draft picks in the offseason ..
plus sign two scoring veteran FA to become a .500 team next season.
We could have started Novak at the 5 and still beat the Wizards by 10 points.
I am obviously talking about this season as a whole, we mostly played small ball and we did just fine.Did we need any of the above for this game? HELL NO!
My Knicks are awesome, and this shall be the year of ultimate greatness

I think it's time for another musical offering. This one is brought to you by Drake, featuring the lovely Rihanna.
If I were to describe this track in one word, it would be "smooth."
The combination of the vocal stylings and moving lyrics really make this one a keeper in my book. While some may find it depressing and on the slower side, I currently cannot stop pressing replay.

Like many other aspects of the game, the All-Star break creates the perfect opportunity for an assessment on the first half of the fantasy baseball season. There are 150 teams competing in this season's Phillies Nation Fantasy League; here are the division leaders:
Mayfair – Pat the Bat
Fishtown – Pacifico Beer #1
Manayunk – dock ellis' trip
Kensington – Victory!no
Center City – HowardsPower6
Roxborough – Big League ChewGrape
Chalfont – Pat the Glove
Fairmount – Game5WasSweet
Port Richmond – Belfast Bullies
Grays Ferry – Phanatic's Phloozies
Brewerytown – Clemente……#21
Bustleton – Two Burrels One Cup
Olney – PhilsWFC09
Germantown – The Lee Elias
Nicetown – Utley's Puppy Mill
Pat the Bat and Pat the Glove both representing the resurgent former Phil…classic. The Phillies Nation teams are not faring as well, with an average of penultimate place across the divisions. Hopefully there's still plenty of time to turn the season around.

Yawn… must be a slow day for news in the real world. 😉
haha! I wonder who Pat the Bat is… cause I'm Pat the Glove.
im a little pissed… was in this league last year (cobb creek) asked about it on here several times before the season started and never heard anything. boo to you sir, booooo…
"Two Burrells One Cup"= best fantasy squad name I've seen in a while.
Victory!no from Kensington here… Dominating my league!
I'm heading up the Phanatic's Phloozies though the squad has been slumping terribly lately. Johnny Cueto's destruction at the hand of the Phils last week certainly didn't help. Time to get my act together and build back up to the 25 point lead I had a few weeks ago!
thanks brian, but it's cool. i have a few other teams going… but im in for next season.
Can i jump on a team fro next year as well? Definitely interested and wasnt able to join since I just started on this around May. Thanks
I was wondering about the Philliesnation team. The team in the Port Richmond league has absolutely no activity ever. If you're offering I will take one over. Currently running the Belfast Bullies in that league too.
Bortolo's Cologne is gonna make a run.
Just like a real life Halladay trade, I'm making big plans!!
I'm philswfc09 in the Olney league. I know the league winner with the highest point value wins something. What are all of the leaders point totals thus far? I have 86.5.
I didn't know we won anything. I thought we were just doing it for fun.
Yeah, 12 team leagues have a total of 120 points. 10 point leagues have 100 points.
Big League Chew Grape is looking to repeat just like the Phils…. 36.5 point lead is looking pretty good so far hehe.
We win something?!?! Time to start really trying again. Gotta get my 99.5 back up over 100!
damn Brian, you really need someone to take over your team in Chalfont. No activity since March 25th!!!
HowardsPower6 78.5 points stayin in first in what is a very competitive league. im gonna put this one out of reach shortly following the all star break.
what is the prize if we win?
Utley's Puppy Mill – represent! It's a tight race in the Nicetown league. Hopefully the Mill can keep it going in the second half.
Im behind Pat The Bat in that league by about 1.5 Points…
The Rookies are hopefully back and coming for ya. Hopefully a couple first half managerial blunders I made don't hurt me.
first time playing and i'm having a blast. holding a the 4 spot in the Olney league, but YOUR MOM'S BALLS are are hoping for a strong second half
Good luck to you in the 2nd half, your mom's balls.
Greetings just wondering if any one could suggest a good torrent downloader. Preferable free but if reasonable and speedy with large storage I would consider a paid service.

In January, Casimiro Salinas drove his pickup truck into the Falfurrias checkpoint, at which time a routine K-9 exam resulted in an alert prompting border patrol agents to refer the vehicle to secondary for further inspection.
During a detailed inspection, agents located a hand built toolbox in the bed of the truck that, when opened, contained 60 bundles wrapped in black tape which tested positive for cocaine, according to official information.
At the time of the seizure, law enforcement officials estimated the cocaine had a value of approximately $4.7 million.
The continued investigation centered on a significant number of unexplained large cash transaction and cash purchases of real property.
Agents were able to locate several real properties purchased in Beeville, a condo purchased in Las Vegas, Nevada and several luxury vehicles purchased in Houston.
On Jan. 19, Drug Enforcement Administration and Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigations agents executed a search warrant at the Salinas home in Beeville.
The agents located and seized numerous cash receipts, documents related to the purchases of real and personal assets, numerous unused paper currency straps, a heat sealing machine and used empty heat sealed packages containing the outline/impression of unknown currency.
The agents also seized two vehicles, a Lincoln Navigator and a Lexus, which had previously been identified.
Agents also identified a total of 12 cashier's checks, used to purchase the Las Vegas condo, totaling more than $100,000, that were purchased with cash between January and February 2010 by Casimiro and Patsy Gail Salinas.
The cashier's checks were each in the amount of $9,000 and purchased over several days at multiple bank locations to avoid the reporting requirements, according to official information.
In addition, the government has identified seven properties in Beeville and a condo in Las Vegas purchased by Casimiro and Patsy Salinas that are subject to forfeiture.
In custody since he was re-arrested on Jan. 19, 2012, Casimiro Salinas will remain in federal custody awaiting sentencing, at which time he faces a maximum life sentence and a maximum $10 million fine.
Released on bond after her arrest, Patsy Salinas will remain on bond awaiting her sentencing when she faces a maximum sentence of 10 years imprisonment and a fine not to exceed $500,000.
Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos, who accepted the guilty pleas Monday, has set sentencing for July 26.
The charges stem from an investigation by DEA, IRS-CI and BP. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lance Watt.

A man facing extradition under child molestation charges is accusing everyone, from the sheriffs to the judge, of injustice.
"You will be charged as soon as I get out. I promise you that. You don't understand who I am," said Anthony Williams. He also accused deputies of physically and verbally attacking him.
Hawaii's attorney general says Williams calls himself a "Private Attorney General", and was illegally practicing law in the islands. Later it was uncovered that Williams was wanted in Georgia, and charged with felony child molestation.
Williams said authorities there never should have charged him in the first place.
The judge responded by saying, "I heard you say both your son and yourself were charged?"
"No, we were falsely charged. What I'm saying is who Georgia has charged officially, is not me. It's a legal fiction, all capital letters, Anthony Troy Williams, said Williams. "That's not me with a social security number. I do not have a social security number. That's who they are charging.
A judge delayed the rest of Williams' extradition hearing until Thursday as the state waits for more fingerprints to verify whether Williams is indeed the person charged in Georgia.

Shumlin announces new TIF legislationBy DAVE GRAM
The Associated Press | March 07,2013AP PHOTO
Gov. Peter Shumlin discusses new TIF district rules at a news conference Wednesday. Shumlin says he wants to forgive about $6 million that the state auditor last year said several Vermont cities and towns owe the state in connection with special tax districts designed to promote economic development. Shumlin said his administration will introduce legislation shortly that would clarify the rules governing so-called tax increment financing districts.WINOOSKI Gov. Peter Shumlin said Wednesday he wants to wipe the slate clean on about $6 million that a former state auditor said three Vermont cities and a town owe the state in connection with special tax districts designed to promote economic development.
Shumlin said the goals of legislation now being drafted would be to forgive the debts that then-state Auditor Tom Salmon said last year were owed by Milton, Burlington, Winooski and Newport to the state education fund. Shumlin said the legislation would clarify the law governing the districts so similar disputes dont arise in the future.
The municipalities dispute Salmons finding.
Shumlin was joined by several mayors and other local officials as he announced the legislation outside a major downtown Winooski redevelopment project.
Two systems are in play on the front line of state and municipal finances in the tiff over TIFs or tax-increment financing districts.
One of the two is the statewide property tax Vermont uses to fund its public schools. The tax was created in the late 1990s and tweaked about a decade ago to address a historic complaint that some towns those with ski resorts or big manufacturing plants had an easier time raising money from property taxes for schools than those where taxpayers were mainly private homeowners.
Meanwhile, the TIF program allowed communities meeting certain criteria to create the TIF districts, the downtown redevelopment zones where bonds are issued for things like new streets and other infrastructure improvements and paid off by diverting some of the property taxes collected in the community.
Officials said a natural tension exists between the two systems: More money going to pay off TIF bonds means less going to the state education fund.
A key finding in Salmons report was that municipalities retained several million dollars in incremental property tax revenue that should have been paid to the states education fund.
Some of the findings related to the starting date, and what counted as the starting values, for properties about to undergo big improvements. If initial values of downtown properties were underestimated, Salmon said, there would be more new revenue generated after the properties were improved and it was that new revenue that could be diverted from going to the state education fund.
In Miltons case and Milton accounted for $3.4 million of the nearly $6 million Salmon said was owed Town Manager Brian Palaia said the auditors complaint was that the town paid cash for $2.8 million in improvements instead of borrowing the money through a bond issue.
We paid directly costs to a vendor for an eligible TIF project instead of borrowing the money, Palaia said, adding that the decision saved $600,000 in interest costs that would have been paid by the state.
Burlington drew criticism from Salmon for using TIF funding to refinance a project on the citys Lake Champlain waterfront that was originally financed in 1991 four years before Vermont passed its first law allowing TIFs.
Shumlin and the local officials agreed that despite the disputes, the TIF program should continue.
Steve Jeffrey, executive director of the Vermont League of Cities and Towns, said the programs had given municipalities in the state of Vermont the answer to the chicken-and-egg problem of economic development. We can have economic development if only we had the public infrastructure and public investment that we need to be able to serve those new businesses. But without the tax base to do it, we cant get the public infrastructure built.
So this allows us to be able to make that public infrastructure available, without burdening the general taxpayer, Jeffrey added.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt. Full StoryVermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell plans to join the U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER Gov. Full Story

The Internet helps me make friends, but it's helped me keep so many more. People move for jobs, school, or family reasons, and I'm one mouse click away from keeping the friendship going.
Likewise, the Internet helps my friends keep up with me. There is Friend Type A, who reads every column I write for Freedom New Mexico online and knows about every matter in my life. There's Friend Type B, who keeps tabs but only notices major changes like relationship status, job and mailing address. And then there's Type C, who knows I'm alive and have access to the Internet.
Enter my friend, who we'll call Jami. She's somewhere between B and C, but I enjoy talking with her every once in a while, and found out she was taking part in a charity walk.
I wanted to help out, but donations are something usually left for Friend Type A. I didn't want to project myself as Friend Type A, because it might create sexual tension when her actual Type A friends ask, "So who's this guy giving money to you, hmmmm?"
So I decided I'd give to her cause anonymously. But now, I wonder if I've turned her other friends into Larry David.
During a hilarious episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" from last season, David donates money for the wing of a conservation museum. However, nobody cares because another person donated the same amount anonymously.
"I'm not crazy about that," David said upon seeing the anonymous wall. "Now it looks like I'm just a guy who did mine for the credit, as opposed to Mr. Wonderful Anonymous."
When his wife tells him she knows who made the donation, he gets further incensed.
"He told you; he must have wanted somebody to know."
Well, she said, he didn't want the fanfare.
"I don't like the fanfare. Are you saying I like fanfare? Nobody told me I could be anonymous and tell people. I would have taken that option. You can't have it halfway. You're either anonymous or you're not. It's fake philanthropy, and it's faux anonymity."
At the ceremony, the anonymous guy gets a room full of applause and David gets golf claps. A few days later, Larry gets his donation changed to "Anonymous," but in typical "Curb" fashion, it comes back to bite him when he needs access to the museum but the security guard doesn't know he donated a wing.
After watching this show, I'd like to think I've learned a lesson. Switching would cause a problem, so I stick to being anonymous.
It has its drawbacks. I can't ask Jami too much about how the walk went, because then she'll think in the back of her mind, "It's kind of odd that he's interested in my life, but he doesn't care enough to donate a few bucks."
That's a misperception that may move me from in between Types B and C into a solid Type C range.
It might be the price I pay for my beliefs. I don't believe in giving to charity to get your name on a wall or to get a tax donation; I do it because it's simply a chance to give back for all those times people helped me in my life.
Consider this column my fanfare for helping Jami. She's a Type C friend, so she won't be reading about it any time soon.

i know there are a million posts about frequent nursing but i can't find any that have been helpful or exactly match what we're facing.
My son is now nearing 4 months and still nurses every hour. sometimes sooner! It's not cluster feeding b/c he does it ALL day. Lately he's started screaming between breasts and he just acts like he's starving! I've tried fenugreek and i think it helped some but he still just seems so hungry.
anyone have any clues, or go through this? The pediatrician suggested supplementing if we want, but we haven't yet... I would rather he have breastmilk but if he's still hungry, he needs to be getting enough to eat!

Firefighters investigate blaze at local market
PARKERSBURG – Investigators continue to review a 23rd Street commercial fire that occurred Tuesday morning.
Parkersburg Fire Department Capt. Tim Flinn said crews responded to Traceys Market on 23rd Street about 2:30 a.m.
Flinn said the fire was reported by Jeff McMullen, the tenant of the upstairs apartment. McMullen told investigators he smelled smoke and discovered heavy smoke coming from a window in the business below and called 911.
Firefighters arrived at the store and found it teeming with heavy smoke. Flinn said forcible entry was done due to the locked front doors after business hours. Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze, which was confined to the ground level. No one was injured and the fire was out in about 10 minutes. The business was equipped with smoke detectors.
The fire appears to have originated on the floor, near a beer cooler, Flinn said.
"The firefighters did a good job to keep the fire from penetrating to the upstairs apartment and to nearby houses," Flinn said.
Damage was estimated at around $35,000. The upstairs apartment sustained minor smoke damage.
Flinn said the cause of the fire was undetermined and was under investigation.
"We have not ruled out if this was intentional or accidental in nature," he stated. The fire is under investigation by the Parkersburg police and fire departments.
Traceys Market – formerly a Kompak store -is owned by Tracy Earlington of Parkersburg. She purchased the business from Gary Traugh approximately 18 months ago, Flinn said.
Flinn said anyone with information regarding the fire should contact the Fire Prevention Bureau at 304-424-8522 or the Parkersburg Police Department at 304-424-8440.

VILLAGE OF HOLMEN, Wis. -- After months of controversy and hours of meetings, the Public Service Commission has given final approval of the CapX2020 power line project.
The project will bring 48 miles of power lines stretching from Alma through Galesville to Holmen.
It was approved by the PSC only after changes were made to the route near the village of Holmen, which has not been quiet about their dislike for the CapX2020 project.
But Holmen Administrator, Scott Heinig said if it had to come, at least their voices were heard.
"I feel like I can speak for our residents and our school district and suggest that they would prefer the line not come through Holmen, absolutely, no question," said Heinig.
The project is bringing 48 miles of 150 feet power line poles from Alma and ending at a substation in Holmen.
"When we found out that CapX2020 was approved through the Holmen area and a new substation to be located in Holmen we were obviously disappointed. It will have a significant impact on our aesthetic community," said Heinig.
But approval came only after Holmen asked the Public Service Commission to require a change to the proposed power line route.
"The changes that have been made addressed our concern with regards to economic development, future land use, and the impact to our schools were significantly reduced with these changes but it will still have a very significant visual impact on our community," said Heinig.
The new route jumps over Highway 53 near where it intersects with Highway 35 and follows Highway 53 instead of cutting through town.
The change also makes it possible for a more than 3-mile long power line that runs through Holmen to be removed.
"There will be another line 3 1/2 miles of an existing 160,000-volt line built in 1954 that we will be removing that goes right through the center of Holmen. We're going to be taking that out and that will really change the landscape there by not having those lines," said Xcel Energy Community Service Manager Mike Herro.
And while the project couldn't make everyone happy, at least the conversation did.
"I think we did our best to come up with a good solution and I thought we did a good job of getting people involved in the process," said Herro.
"If the CapX2020 line is going to come through to Holmen the way that it is this is the best possible way it could happen. We would still prefer that it didn't happen, but if it does have to than we are glad the PSC made the changes that it did," said Heinig.
The Public Service Commission gave their final approval Wednesday.
The project still needs federal approval which is expected to come this fall.
Construction won't start until late 2013 or early 2014.

February 10, 2003: An aging star's last hurrah is creating a flurry of glowing knots of gas that appear to be streaking through space in this close-up image of the Dumbbell Nebula, taken with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. The Dumbbell, a nearby planetary nebula residing more than 1,200 light-years away, is the result of an old star that has shed its outer layers in a unique display of color.See the rest:
The Hubble image of the Dumbbell shows many knots, but their shapes vary. Some look like fingers pointing at the central star, located just off the upper left of the image; others are isolated clouds, with or without tails. Their sizes typically range from 11 - 35 billion miles (17 - 56 billion kilometers), which is several times larger than the distance from the Sun to Pluto. Each contains as much mass as three Earths.
Dense knots of gas and dust seem to be a natural part of a planetary nebula's evolution. They form in the early stages, and their shape changes as the nebula expands. Similar knots have been discovered in other nearby planetary nebulae. The detection of these knots in all the nearby planetaries imaged by the Hubble telescope allows astronomers to hypothesize that these glowing objects may be a common feature in all planetary nebulae.

MACAU, China - Vietnamese-born middleweight Cung Le landed a crushing right to knock out Rich Franklin in the headlining bout of Saturday's "UFC on FUEL TV 6: Franklin vs. Le" event taking place at the Venetian Resort Hotel's Cotai Arena.
Franklin, who was fighting at middleweight for the first time since 2008, looked comfortable until the end, darting in and out of range with kicks and punches and looking the quicker fighter.
However, a perfectly placed punch in the first round ended his night in violent fashion in front of a crowd of 8,415.
"I threw a couple kicks just to feel him out, and he was countering with punches," Le said after the win. "He was trying to time me, so I figured I would let my hands go, and I caught him."
Le picked up a $40,000 bonus cheque for the evening's "Knockout of the Night."
Prior to the fight, the 38-year-old Franklin had suggested he was hoping to make one more run at the UFC's middleweight title, a belt he held prior to current champion Anderson Silva.
Instead, it's the 40-year-old Le who now has options ahead. What route he'll take isn't immediately known, as the part-time Hollywood actor admitted he is hoping for a little time off.
"Since last November to this November, I've had three fights," Le said. "So I want to take a little vacation and just spend a little time with my family."
In the night's co-feature, Brazilian Thiago Silva earned a third-round submission of a fatiguing Stanislav Nedkov. The fight proved a grinding affair for the opening 10 minutes as the Bulgarian Nedkov looked to use his wrestling prowess to make the fight a clinch-based match.
But the previously undefeated Nedkov was visibly exhausted in the third, and Silva took him to the floor for an arm-triangle choke win.
The bout earned Silva a $40,000 bonus for the evening's "Submission of the Night."
Prior to the two spectacular wins, the preceding seven bouts all ended via decision. Despite the lack of stoppage wins, the Cotai Arena crowd seemed to enjoy the action in the UFC's first-ever visit to Chinese soil.
Following the event, UFC Asia exec Mark Fischer said the company is intent on long-term success in the market.
"It was an awesome experience," Fischer said. "It surpassed our expectations, so absolutely it was a success for our first event in China. We're going to go back and figure out the next step ... but China is certainly a long-term target, a big target market for us. It has tremendous potential. We know it's going to take time to develop fully, and that's where we're headed."
