Through The Mail Autographs
Starting next week, I am going to mail out some items to several baseball players, with the hopes of autograph success. I haven't decided exactly who yet, or how many players I'm going to send things to…..but I am going to send out at least a few.
I have no idea what to expect…….Will they sign at all? How long will it take? But I am looking forward to finding out the answers to these questions.
I am not going to send out items to the TOP players, such as Derek Jeter, (Basically the entire Yankee team), Albert Pujols, etc.
I'll probably just send out items to the less popular players.
I'll post an entry of the autographs I get (if any) at a later time. So stay tuned……
In other autograph news, I am planning on going to the June 21st game between the Reds and the Yankees. (It is in Cincinnati, Ohio.) I am planning on arriving at Great American Ballpark at around 1:00 for a 7:10 game. Why? For autographs……of course. I am going to stand at the Yankees entrance from around 1:00 to around 4:00. Then try my luck during BP for autographs. I know it sounds stupid to arrive at 1:00 for a 7:10 game. But the way I see it, I REALLY want an autograph. So why not give my self the best opportunity to do so?
If there is anyone reading this that has ever tried and succeeded (or failed) at getting an autograph by mail, I'd love to hear your story.
4 Comments
I only tried getting autographs by mail 2 or 3 times. The only one I ever got was Bill Mazeroski.
Well, I sent two cards out. One to Mark McGwire and one to Mariano Rivera. I only recieved the Mark McGwire back. (You can see a picture of it in my 'AUTOGRAPH SUCCESS!!!!' entry.) Can't say that I'm shocked that I didn't recieve the one back from Mo. I'll try again for his autograph at a game in June.
I'm a 12 year old boy and Im sending out like 30 autographs to spring training…… How much do u guys think I'll get bak

The Predynastic Collection at the Penn Museum is one of the largest and most comprehensive in the United States. Artifacts of all types, ranging from domestic, mortuary and ritual contexts, are represented. As an early subscriber to the Egypt Exploration Society's expeditions to Egypt beginning in the late nineteenth century, the University Museum received hundreds of artifacts from the key archaeological sites that inform our modern understanding of the Upper Egyptian Predynastic, the cradle of the Egyptian pharaonic state.
The goals of the project include the detailed documentation of the collection with the goals of developing new avenues of scientific and cultural research and publication. The project can afford Rowan students the opportunity to learn archaeological research techniques utilizing a variety of artifact types in a professional museum setting.

Illinois receives nearly $500,000 grant for character education
Pilot program at 8 high schools to teach skills for success in life
Springfield, Ill. – The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) announced today the Illinois Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support (PBIS) Network will be receiving a $471,038 grant from the U.S. Department of Education to help implement programs aimed at teaching character development. The Illinois PBIS Network received one of four Partnerships in Character Education grants for Fiscal Year 2007; other recipients included Los Angeles Unified School District, New York City Department of Education and the Black Hills Special Services Cooperative, in Rapid City, South Dakota.
"We're proud the Department of Education is recognizing Illinois' place as a national leader in PBIS education over the past decade, and look forward to sharing our research with others as we continue to implement this on a broader scale," said Illinois State Superintendent of Education Christopher Koch. "Being able to expand our work in this area will help us as we continue to move forward with educating all of our students, not just for classroom success, but success in life."
The Illinois State Board of Education started the PBIS Network nearly a decade ago to create and maintain safe and effective learning environments in schools and ensure all students have the social/emotional skills needed for success. ISBE and the School Association for Special Education in DuPage County administer the program.
"Character education is integral to a well-rounded education. Positive, respectful students help create and maintain healthy school environments," U.S. Education Secretary Margaret Spellings said. "Lessons in responsibility and respect are just as important as lessons in reading, math and science."
The four year program funded by the grant will allow the Illinois PBIS Network to work with 8 public high schools to integrate school-wide positive behavior supports and character education as part of their curriculum. The schools included are:
- Foreman High School (CPS)
- Kelvyn Park High School (CPS)
- Bolingbrook High School
- Romeoville High School
- Alton High School
- Rock Island High School
- Springfield High School
- Springfield Southeast High School
The Partnerships in Character Education Program awards grants for up to four years to eligible state and local education agencies to design and implement character education programs, which teach students core ethical concepts, such as: civics; citizenship; justice; responsibility; and respect themselves and others. Grant recipients must show how they have integrated character education into classroom instruction and teacher training. They also must involve parents, students and the community in the process. The projects are evaluated to determine their success in helping students develop positive character, reduce discipline problems and improve academic achievement. Projects also must increase parent and community involvement with the school. This year's recipients were chosen in rank order from the list of the most qualified FY 2006 applicants, which had not yet received funding in FY 2006. The grantees were solicited and peer reviewed during FY 2006. Since 1994, a total of 147 state and local education agencies have received character education grants.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
can hidan die from old age? or does he even age to begin with? and what about starvation or suffocating in the bottom of that damn hole? :shrug:
ask kishi...
I think Kishimoto stated in an interview that he can die of starvation.
He can die from not eating or drinking water, but he wont age
No he's immortal. Good question...
old age/starve probably =p
Reminded me of how a d***k kishi said madara has no weakness who ever is gonna stomp him will pretty do same but this time it will be deep down in the buttom of an oceasion
Nah I think he dies from not killing people for too long.
Think about it, he's not going to be eating or drinking much as a head if that was enough to kill him just having his head cut off would be his end. But he was still alive.
Pretty sure it's stated somewhere that he needs to kill people to keep living anyway.

he was the only true immortal ask why was his head still alive and talking if he's not immortal
He has to eat and drink.
Well, you got me, am not sure but i think ................shit i don't know.
well he's no longer practicing the joshin rituals at the bottom of that hole so I assume he lost his power

Day and her husband went to the airport to greet Gov. Pat McCrory as he arrived for the GOP state convention. They wanted to let him know how they felt about state lawmakersŌĆÖ recent green lighting of hydraulic fracturing for natural gas.
The couple moved to the area from West Virginia. They are avid paddlers. And now, fledgling organizers for a stand against hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in Western North Carolina.
Having moved from a fracking state, Day said she was disappointed to see North Carolina open the door for the extraction method, which involves injecting explosives into the ground to create fissures before pumping a mixture of water, chemicals and sand into the cracks so that any oil or gas will make its way to the surface.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve been living amongst the fracking hell that is West Virginia,ŌĆØ Day said.
During their trip to see McCrory at the airport, the couple met about 20 other likeminded people. They found out the Canary Coalition, a Jackson County environmental organization focused on air quality issues, was organizing a protest across the street from HarrahŌĆÖs Cherokee Casino, where the GOP was holding its annual convention.
ŌĆ£So, then we went there,ŌĆØ said Day.
At the GOP protest, they found even more people freaked out about fracking. They began to organize, and the Coalition Against Fracking in Western North Carolina was soon born in Swain County.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs become a huge network,ŌĆØ Day said.
The group held its first meeting in June in Bryson City. Around 40 people showed up.
These fracking opponents cringe at the purported specter of homes with flammable taps due to contaminated groundwater. They decry the unknown chemical make-up of the compounds used in the fracking process and question the possibility of a link between an increase in natural gas exploration and earthquakes. They encourage people to watch ŌĆ£Gasland,ŌĆØ a documentary film and staple viewing in anti-fracking circles.
Fracking supporters, however, say that groundwater contamination isnŌĆÖt much of a concern with wells that drill as deep as the ones proposed, and they prop up the latest technology as something of a miracle, capable of extracting valuable resources while keeping contaminants out of the environment.
But groups like the Coalition are also questioning certain aspects of North CarolinaŌĆÖs fracking legislation ŌĆö like the specification that local governments cannot disallow the practice ŌĆö and they are concerned with the swiftness with which it became law, even as the regulations to govern fracking are still being hammered out.
ŌĆ£TheyŌĆÖre trying to hide something from people,ŌĆØ Day mused. ŌĆ£To make it sound like the sweetest deal ever.ŌĆØ
The legislators behind it, however, claim that the fracking issue has been hashed out over the past two years and point to the opportunity legislators will have in the next session to strike down any of the specific rules the Mining and Energy Commission comes up with.
As communities in North Carolina consider the particulars of the debate, the Coalition Against Fracking in WNC aims to make sure people in the western counties know what fracking is and are up to speed on what the group sees as concerning environmental issues stemming from it. Recently the fracking opponents went to a Swain County Commissioners meeting. Their message found a readily receptive audience.
ŌĆ£I can tell you right quick IŌĆÖm not for it,ŌĆØ Swain Commissioner Donnie Dixon says. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm against it 100 percent.ŌĆØ
Rally call in Swain
Dixon is quick to relay his take on fracking.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm totally against it,ŌĆØ the commissioner said. ŌĆ£It can cause cancer, itŌĆÖs been on the news, it can ruin the drinking water, it can pollute the air.ŌĆØ
Lawmakers who supported this yearŌĆÖs fracking legislation are summed up in short order by the Swain official.
ŌĆ£Anyone who voted for it is in it for the money,ŌĆØ Dixon said.
The commissioner is not alone. His cohorts on the board have publicly voiced unanimous opposition to the possibility of hydraulic fracturing in Swain County.
The boardŌĆÖs stance didnŌĆÖt surprise Swain County Manager Kevin King.
ŌĆ£All of ŌĆśem have told me theyŌĆÖre against fracking,ŌĆØ King said.
Swain is joined in its opposition by other communities in the region. Recently, Webster, a community in Jackson County, passed an ordinance formally declaring its position on the issue.
ŌĆ£I must say that I am very proud of my little town for taking a stand against this big issue,ŌĆØ said Danell Moses, a member of WebsterŌĆÖs town board.
Moses said board members recently began studying the issue of hydraulic fracturing.
ŌĆ£I thought, well, IŌĆÖve heard a lot about this, I really need to brush up on this and dig into this. The further I dug, the more scared I got,ŌĆØ said Moses. ŌĆ£I think everyone was doing their own research and coming to the same conclusion.ŌĆØ
Webster Mayor Nick Breedlove said the town passed its ordinance against fracking to protect the environment and described the measure as being ŌĆ£proactiveŌĆØ and an effort to ŌĆ£urge caution.ŌĆØ The ordinance references ŌĆ£documented cases of water contaminationŌĆØ and ŌĆ£potentially lethal, toxic and carcinogenic chemicals.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£I was born here, I grew up here, I plan to live here a long time so I really care a lot about the mountains and its people,ŌĆØ Breedlove said. ŌĆ£I really donŌĆÖt think we know enough about fracking to green light it yet.ŌĆØ
The mayor also questioned moving ahead on hydraulic fracturing with the regulations governing the process in North Carolina still being written.
ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt know if we need to rush into the dark unprepared,ŌĆØ he said.
Breedlove questioned the prudence in taking potential environmental risks for an oft-touted upside of the natural gas rush: jobs.
ŌĆ£Would you trade job creation for your natural habitat?ŌĆØ he asks. ŌĆ£WhatŌĆÖs the point of giving somebody a job if they come home to their wife and kids and potentially contaminated water?ŌĆØ
Kolleen Begley, mayor of Forest Hills, another Jackson County community, said a formal declaration similar to WebsterŌĆÖs was in the pipes there as well.
In Swain County commissioners have requested that the town manager reach out to other western counties about fracking. TheyŌĆÖd like to be able to present a unified front of opposition.
ŌĆ£Maybe going into a combined resolution,ŌĆØ King said.
HeŌĆÖs not sure what kind of response heŌĆÖll find when he shops the no-fracking platform around the region.
ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt know if other counties are going to take a stand at all,ŌĆØ SwainŌĆÖs manager said.
ŌĆśSo much misinformation out thereŌĆÖ
North Carolina Sen. Jim Davis, R-Franklin, sees this yearŌĆÖs Energy Modernization Act as a victory. He proudly takes ownership of helping to cruise the stateŌĆÖs fracking legislation through the process in Raleigh.
ŌĆ£I not only voted for the law, I was one of the co-sponsors,ŌĆØ Davis said. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm really comfortable with what theyŌĆÖve done.ŌĆØ
The senator isnŌĆÖt impressed with local resolutions passed in opposition to fracking. He notes that the state law overrides local governmentsŌĆÖ control.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a state law, so you canŌĆÖt have all these regulations in different towns and different communities,ŌĆØ he said.
Davis hears from a lot of people about the stateŌĆÖs recent move on fracking.
ŌĆ£Overwhelmingly, theyŌĆÖre against fracking,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£I think those people are concerned. My background is in science and IŌĆÖm concerned as well. But as long as we can do this safely, I think itŌĆÖs a good thing.ŌĆØ
According to Davis, North Carolina doesnŌĆÖt have to choose between protecting its environment and pursuing its natural resources.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs not an either-or situation,ŌĆØ the senator said. ŌĆ£We can do both.ŌĆØ
And, the senator says, we should do both. Davis describes natural gas as ŌĆ£one thing in the quiverŌĆØ of North CarolinaŌĆÖs energy resources and argues that it shouldnŌĆÖt be left on the table, or in the ground.
ŌĆ£Using natural gas as an energy source is a lot less of a carbon footprint than coal, for example,ŌĆØ Davis said. ŌĆ£Why would we just leave all these resources in the ground as long as we can harvest them responsibly?ŌĆØ
The senator brushes off the mention of environmental concerns. He argues that North CarolinaŌĆÖs law provides for adequate environmental protections and points out that everything has its risks.
ŌĆ£Everything we do is a risk,ŌĆØ Davis said. ŌĆ£How many people die on North Carolina highways every year? Our job as legislators is to minimize the risk. And the risks of hydraulic fracturing are minimal.ŌĆØ
The senator said he is concerned about what he called ŌĆ£misinformationŌĆØ about fracking. He would like to assemble a panel of experts in the field of hydraulic fracturing and arrange for public forums in an effort to educate people.
ŌĆ£So people can learn about fracking, because thereŌĆÖs so much misinformation out there,ŌĆØ Davis said.
Getting schooled
In Jackson County, Chuck Wooten received SwainŌĆÖs invitation to consider coming out in opposition to fracking in an email. He hasnŌĆÖt brought it up to his commissioners yet, but there may be something on the agenda in August.
ItŌĆÖs just as well. Jackson County Commissioner Chairman Jack Debnam isnŌĆÖt ready to wade into the fracking debate anyway.
ŌĆ£I think you need to be educated before you make a decision,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm going to be a little better educated before I just jump out there and say ŌĆśno fracking.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
The chairman said he was planning to attend a Jackson County Planning Board session later in the week, where Western Carolina University geosciences and natural resources associate professor Cheryl Waters-Tormey is scheduled to make a presentation and field questions about hydraulic fracturing.
Debnam isnŌĆÖt overly concerned about fracking in Western North Carolina. HeŌĆÖs not expecting much natural gas to be found in the region.
ŌĆ£The chances of them finding natural gas is about zero,ŌĆØ the chairman said. ŌĆ£I think someoneŌĆÖs just spending some money thatŌĆÖs been made available to drill some test wells, but I donŌĆÖt think itŌĆÖll go any further than that.ŌĆØ
Macon County Commissioner Chairman Kevin Corbin also said heŌĆÖd like to be better educated before taking a stance on the issue. His board has yet to discuss the issue.
ŌĆ£I certainly wouldnŌĆÖt mind a discussion, but it hasnŌĆÖt come up,ŌĆØ Corbin said. ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt feel like IŌĆÖm that well versed in. it. I probably need to be. ItŌĆÖs something that seems like a hot topic and I probably need to educate myself.ŌĆØ
Macon County Manager Derek Roland said he hadnŌĆÖt heard from King yet. But he imagines his commissioners will be discussing the topic of fracking soon enough.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖd say,ŌĆØ Roland said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs getting pretty hot isnŌĆÖt it?ŌĆØ
In Clay, Graham and Cherokee counties, respective county managers reported that local leaders were not yet taking a formal position on hydraulic fracturing. In Haywood County, Commissioner Kevin Ensley said that he would also like more information before forming an opinion about issue.
ŌĆ£All IŌĆÖve seen is news reports and you canŌĆÖt really base it on that,ŌĆØ the commissioner said, describing natural gas as the ŌĆ£future for America.ŌĆØ
Ensley stressed personal property rights and frowned on local governments injecting themselves ŌĆö ŌĆ£If you have a family and they have an opportunity to do that, they ought to be able to without the government telling them they canŌĆÖtŌĆØ ŌĆö but said he also would like to learn more about environmental concerns raised by fracking opponents.
ŌĆ£You ask the people in the industry about it and they say this is all overblown ŌĆö but those people are in the industry,ŌĆØ Ensley said.
If he finds that fracking looks like something that can be done safely, then heŌĆÖs on board ŌĆö ŌĆ£As long as its doesnŌĆÖt destroy our water table IŌĆÖm all for itŌĆØ ŌĆö but like Debnam, he doesnŌĆÖt expect hydraulic fracturing to be widespread in Western North Carolina and doesnŌĆÖt want to get overly invested in the debate.
ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt think there are pockets to be drilled,ŌĆØ said Ensley. ŌĆ£If thereŌĆÖs nothing in the West I donŌĆÖt want to put a lot of effort into something that isnŌĆÖt coming to the West.ŌĆØ
ŌĆśIt just shows where we standŌĆÖ
The folks with Coalition Against Fracking in Western North Carolina arenŌĆÖt sure where this fracking opposition is going. They would like to see a legal challenge mounted against provisions of the law barring local governments from disallowing fracking.
ŌĆ£That would be ideal, right?ŌĆØ said Day.
And local resolutions, or anything regional Swain is able to drum up, are only for sport and for the record.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs really a political stance is what it is, because, you know, thereŌĆÖs not much the board can do,ŌĆØ King said. ŌĆ£They canŌĆÖt stop anyone from coming in and doing something. It just shows where we stand.ŌĆØ
Breedlove knows that too. But, still, he feels WebsterŌĆÖs ordinance was the right thing to do.
ŌĆ£We want to go on record that we wholeheartedly oppose hydraulic fracturing,ŌĆØ the mayor said, adding that heŌĆÖs finding support for the action among his constituents. ŌĆ£EveryoneŌĆÖs been wholly supportive of it. I have not heard one negative comment.ŌĆØ
Day is optimistic that the swell of opposition against fracking in Western North Carolina will ultimately have some impact. SheŌĆÖs encouraged, at least, about the energy.
ŌĆ£I have hope,ŌĆØ said Day. ŌĆ£People are coming together to defend this beautiful place. ItŌĆÖs good.ŌĆØ
Far off sound of fracking hearings
Recently, a collection of groups from Western North Carolina requested that the North CarolinaŌĆÖs Mining and Energy Commission schedule public hearings for the western portion of the state on oil and gas rules now being drafted. Currently, three hearings are scheduled ŌĆö in Raleigh, Sanford and Reidsville ŌĆö but all located are considerable distance from WNC.
ŌĆ£We feel that since our area might be directly affected by fracking down the line, we have a right to have our voices heard,ŌĆØ said Sally Morgan, of Clean Water for North Carolina.
The request for additional hearings in the west is signed onto by 17 organizations, including Coalition Against Fracking in Western North Carolina, regional Sierra Clubs, the Canary Coalition, Appalachian Voices, League of Women Voters of Macon County and Greenpeace of NC.
Morgan received a reply from MEC Chairman Jim Womack ŌĆö ŌĆ£We recognize the strong interest for an additional hearing in the western countiesŌĆØ ŌĆö with an assurance that the commission would try to ŌĆ£coordinate a suitable event.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£That was a week ago, and I havenŌĆÖt heard anything back,ŌĆØ Morgan said recently.
Harry Baughn, the mayor of Hayesville, in Clay County, recently wrote Breedlove about his efforts appealing for an additional hearing.
ŌĆ£The chairman indicated that he would look at a location such as WCU, however a subsequent email stated that DENR in Raleigh stated there was no travel money to add a hearing in our region,ŌĆØ Baughn emailed WebsterŌĆÖs mayor.
According to Jamie Kritzer, spokesman for the Department of Energy and Natural Resources, which houses the MEC, no additional hearings are currently being scheduled.
ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt know if theyŌĆÖre planning to do so at this point,ŌĆØ the spokesman said.
The slated hearings, he explained, were located in areas likely to get quicker attention from natural gas efforts.
ŌĆ£These are close to the basins where natural gas extraction is most likely to begin in North Carolina,ŌĆØ Kritzer said. ŌĆ£Right now in Western North Carolina, we have yet to even gather rocks. WeŌĆÖre still years from anything in the way of drilling in Western North Carolina.ŌĆØ
The DENR spokesman noted that Western residents neednŌĆÖt travel to the hearing in order to log their comments. Public comments can be submitted to the commission, he said, from July 15 to Sept. 15.

Many residents from Karnes County as well as surrounding counties probably read the articles involving the Eagle Ford Shale in the Sunday, February 24th edition of the Express News.
If you found those articles enlightening then you may be interested in reading a couple of magazine articles published recently.
The March 2013 National Geographic has the article "America Strikes Oil-The Promise and Risk of FRACKING".
The February 11, 2013 edition of Forbes includes an article involving our neighboring Goliad county.

Clinch River @ Peach Orchard--3/27
Drove down from Frankfort this AM and launched the canoe @ the Peach Orchard ramp around 0915. The water was down and the place was absolutely deserted. My only companions for the entire day were a red fox, an osprey, ~30 GB herons and a bunch of assorted ducks and geese. The first human I encountered didn't show up until around 1645. COOL! I fished sporadically down almost to Offutt Shoals. The conditions were fine except for the wind which, as I should have expected in March on the Clinch, gusted to 60+ mph whenever I tried to cast meaningfully.
Caught about 30 Rainbows, I guess, with the majority between 8"-12". A few were in the 6" category and the biggest was 17". No browns today, but I spooked 3 that were, I know , well over 20". The biggest one could probably have pulled a water skier.
The most productive pattern today was a #18 rubber-legged Copper John, with #20-22 gray or olive midge a close second. I began by fishing the two in tandem, the former about 8-9" above the latter, but as I mentioned, the wind was bad enough that someone of my skill level would be better served to fish them singly. And that's what produced best. No luck on dries, though several fish molested my strike indicator, and I never got around to trying any streamers or such.
Because of the solitude and the general productivity, today was the most fun I've had in my dozen or so visits to the Clinch. The water was prefect. Would that the Corps was so kind with their generation schedule year-round. Hope to get back soon.
P.S.- Why did Tenn. raise the non resident license fee so drastically this year? $80 is kinda steep!
Re: Clinch River @ Peach Orchard--3/27
Thanks for the Clinch info. I am heading there Friday.
Regarding the fishing license increase, I e-mailed the commissioner (TWRC) asking the same question. His response is as follows:
The TWRA had not raised license fees in 15 years, so the dramatic increase has been a shock to all sportsmen. The easier license to raise is the nonresident, since the legislature must approve all increases and the resident population believes they should be more expensive.
The TWRA's sole revenue source for operations comes from the sale of licenses and the Federal matching dollars that come with it.
We will be analyzing the effect of all increases to see if some may need adjusting for a lack of sales. I will inquire about the trout only license. That seems to make sense, but I will have to check on it.
Thanks for your concern and the email.

By Tom Philpott: Guest Columist
After 140 years, the tradition of a career military officer being in charge of commissary stores, and how groceries are stocked and sold on base, is over.
Patrick B. Nixon, a career grocer and a senior civilian executive of the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) since its formation 15 years ago, became its first full-fledged civilian director in June.
Stand by for fresher produce, more self-checkout counters and stores designed to serve both convenience shoppers and patrons needing to restock their fridge and pantry.
In an hour-long interview, Nixon discussed changes and challenges ahead for commissaries. He also spoke, without bravado, about how a civilian director can bring a career's worth of supermarket experience to the job, and then stay long enough to see his vision become reality.
Fresher produce for commissary patrons has long been a goal for Nixon. He began to do something about it when he became acting director in 2004 and will see it achieved system wide as DeCA's director.
For decades, commissaries procured meats, dairy products, fruits and vegetables using the same bureaucracy that supplies mess halls. That began to change, Nixon said, when "we realized that the military logistics system that does troop feeding is not agile enough, nor does it operate with the type of distribution model needed in the retail supermarket industry."
In the 1990s, DeCA began contracting for its own meats. But procurement of fruits and vegetables for commissary bins remained the responsibility of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), which relied on something called "terminal" or secondary markets. That is about to change.
DeCA has been testing a commercial model to supply produce to 22 commissaries in the Tidewater area of Virginia. Results show fruits and vegetables are fresher, and that DeCA can lower its own costs by eliminating DLA involvement. Commissaries in the Midwest will be next in line to see fresher produce, followed by northeast and southeast stores.
"I feel confident that while (all contracts) won't be up and running in the continental United States by Oct. 1st, they will have all been awarded. Within 45 days after that, they will begin to see a marked improvement in produce in our commissaries," Nixon said.
Commercial-style procurement of produce will take a little longer overseas but those local contracts too are being worked, he said.
"This was one issue where the longevity of a civilian paid off because this was something I'd been working on for years," Nixon said. For different military commanders, however, it wasn't a top priority.
Nixon said his goal always is to increase value to commissary patrons while reducing costs to taxpayers. Commissaries cost taxpayers $1.1 billion a year to operate, with 68 percent of that going to salaries.
Given all the saber-rattling over the years about "privatizing" commissaries, some shoppers might be nervous to see a civilian in charge of 284 stores and 18,000 employees. Nixon said there might have been cause for concern if he came directly from industry. But he hopes his appointment sends a reassuring signal of the Defense Department's commitment to preserving a prized benefit.

A group of local elementary students will soon have their very own garden.
Cathedral Elementary School in La Crosse was given a grant by the Department of Instruction to start a garden at the school.
On Sunday, families came together to put the garden beds together and start the planting the seeds.
The idea for a garden came about as the parents and teachers were brain storming for ways to help kids learn how to eat healthy.
"There's a couple pieces that we want to bring home with the students and family. One, you can grow food and healthy food and it can happen in a school yard or your back yard there's some environmental stewardship and responsibility that we want to show students about healthy eating and ways to work with our environment," said volunteer garden coordinator Beth Piggush.
The school plans to hold a fundraiser once a year to raise money to maintain the gardens and pay for seeds.
Some of the seeds will also come from the La Crosse Public Library's newly started Seed Library.

Man gets three years for assaulting childJuly 05,2013Man gets 3 years for assault on child
BENNINGTON A North Bennington man will serve three to six years after admitting to an attempt to strangling an 8-year-old in May and attempting to prevent a woman from reporting the incident.
William J. Borden, 35, pleaded guilty in Bennington criminal court on Friday to a felony count of first-degree aggravated domestic assault and a felony charge of obstructing justice.
As part of the plea agreement, the state dismissed two other felony counts of first-degree aggravated domestic assault.
Bennington County Deputy States Attorney Jennifer Barrett said Borden could have faced a longer sentence but the state was willing to make a deal because Borden took immediate accountability.
Borden was arraigned on the domestic assault charges on June 7 and the obstruction charge on June 19. The hearing on Friday was scheduled to determine whether Borden would have a chance to be released on bail pending the outcome of the case, but a plea arrangement was reached instead.
Police said in an affidavit they spoke with the child June 3. The child said Borden had strangled him on three occasions, at the childs home, in a car after a baseball game and at the home of an unidentified witness in Shaftsbury.
The witness told police that Borden tried to intimidate her and convince her to hang up while she was trying to talk on the phone to the police about the incident.
Borden has three previous felony convictions for aggravated domestic assault from 1998 and 2004 and a felony conviction for unlawful restraint from 2004.
He had been charged as a habitual offender, a sentencing enhancement which can be filed against someone with three or more felony convictions and which would allow a judge, if the defendant is convicted of another felony, to impose a sentence of up to life in prison.MORE IN This Just InNEWBURY Police said somebody stole booze and change from a Welch Road residence.

Currently we're being told Brad Lidge should be fine and just needs a few days rest. He could be ready to pitch tonight against Washington. Still, there is a sense of paranoia surrounding Lidge, since this knee problem isn't anything new (it was the body part that received surgery before 2008).
If we remove Lidge from the bullpen, here's the composition:
Closer: Ryan Madson
Setup: Chad Durbin
LOOGY: Scott Eyre
Middle: Clay Condrey
Middle: Gary Majewski/Mike Koplove/Tyler Walker
Middle Lefty: Jack Taschner
Long: JA Happ
Scared? You bet I am.
It's nothing against Durbin (who was fantastic in 3.2 innings yesterday) or Condrey (currently ninth in the ESPN Cy Predictor), but their quick overuse has me paranoid. Moreover, while Madson has the physical stuff to save games, does he have the mental stuff? His trial run against the Nationals was a nice preview, but that was the Nationals. What about this weekend against the Mets, a team who knows Madson very well (though he does have a 2.89 ERA against New York)?
Point is, the Phils are already down one reliever (JC Romero) and can't afford to lose another high-leverage specialist. It might suffice for a week. But a DL stint? No thanks.
So how could the Phils remedy things if Lidge had to hit the DL?
Maybe bringing up a young fireballer (Jason Knapp?) could be the crazy idea that might work.
0 Comments
Nobody wants to lose Lidge but I think we're fortunate to have Gary Majewski stored away in AAA. I saw him pitch a bunch when he was with the Nationals a few years back and I think he'd slot nicely into the role Durbin has played for the Phils the last two years while Lidge heals.
I also think we couldn't do much better than Madson as a back-up closer.
I think Condrey would be in the setup role and Durbin in middle relief. Either way, it's trouble and I'm very worried about the bullpen being taxed. Bottom line, the starters need to go deeper into games.
ITS APRIL/May. No worries. Hamels is 0-2 7.27 ERA and we're still only a half game out. Lidge came in late last season too. If its August and Lidge is hurt then we can find a bridge to jump off. We had the best bullpen in baseball last year, but this year they wont save a game without Lidge? WE'll be there in September and that's when we need them healthy, not April 29th.
Madson stepped up last year in the post season. He was able to play under pressure then, he's got great speed, and he has an excellent changeup to go with a ridiculous fastball.
I like him. He's probably a better closer than some guys who are actually pitching the 9th for other teams.
I think the great news is that we're still winning games. That buys us time, at least.
Knapp is eighteen, One player in the minors who might help is a college relief pitcher we drafted. He right now is in Clearwater, He is twenty three years old and has been dominate since we took him last draft. Swimmer is 6'8 and can bring it plus he has faced top competion coming out of virginia college
I'm not really worried about the overuse of Condry at this point. Once our starting pitching finds a nice groove Condry will be used less and less.
I wouldn't be too concerned if Lidge spends some time on the DL because we havea nice stock of AAA relievers who have MLB experience. For now, lets ride the hot hand of Condry and give Lidges knee some rest.
I don't think a guy like Knapp is the right call. That's a move for a team that's flailing and desperate. The team is hitting well right now, and the pen, while being overused, is still getting guys out (Monday night's HR Derby notwithstanding). For now, let's patch it together with what we've got. I'd even be OK with a 15-day DL stint for Lidge if that's what it took to get him right. There's depth at AAA, get some use out of it if need be. The starting pitching literally can't get worse, so hope it gets better and hope the bats keep it up for the time being.
JC's back in a little over a month, and he'll have no wear on his arm. Stay afloat, keep the faith. In offense we trust.
Why not give Drabek a shot, Knapp is 18.
Drabek isn't physcial ready yet, he is coming off a injury and needs innings, to see how he holds up without pressure of trying to get out big league hitters, If he holds up he will be real close to taking either Myers or Blanton spot next season. He will be a september callup if he isn't injured.
While i like and admire the suggestion of Knapp Tim, when have you ever seen the Phils rush a kid's development? They won't do it with Knapp, he's still learning how to pitch at this level. Mikemike has a good point with the idea of Schwimer being added but he's only faced High A talent, at least go with Bastardo if your going to call up a prospect, he's dealing in AA, and seeing better talent. If they did that then the Phils could at least give Schwimer a chance to deal to a better level of talent, either way he's not long for Clearwater, he and Drabek will probably be on the move to Reading once the weather gets warmer consistently.
Why take young starters and halt their development by putting them into unfamiliar situations… ones where, even if they succeed, they'd be sent back down to their old jobs.
Its a no-win
If Lidge had to go on the DL, I think Mike Koplove would get the call right now.. a few more K's.. lower batting average against than Majewski
Or how about this Lefty, Matt German, currently in Reading:
(career 2.88 ERA going into this season, with 110 K's in 93.2 Innings, with a 1.14 WHIP)
2009 – 8 games, 11.2 Innings = 6 hits, 6 walks, 16 K's, 0.00 ERA and Opponents batting just .146 against him
Fist off wasn't it just last week how you were saying we have all these young arms in the minors pitching great. Well this is a good time to give them a shot at the big time if Lidge goes on DL. And I am not sure how you can question Madson ability to handle pressure, he did awsome in the playoffs and WS. And he definatley has the stuff to be an awsome closer. upper 90s fastball and a killer change at what 80. Other then over use, I am not worried about Lidge if he needs to go the DL. I do not follow the minors except for what I here on here, but if we have the young arms let them pitch in the majors for two weeks experience never hurts
the overwork of the bullpen is definitely a concern. they need to get another arm in there ASAP and get cairo off the team. once that is done i won't be too worried about madson filling in for lidge, and the rest of the bullpen can handle their roles. they just need another arm in there to keep things fresh… and man oh man will it be great when they get back JC.
the starters are taxing the bullpen, in the interim bring up a righty that can pitch long relief like they are doing with Happ…maybe the two of them alternate long relief until the starters settle down…put lidge on the dl and push our 4 everyday guys back…madson, condrey, durbin and eyre
Don M German I am told topps out at 82 miles a hour, Can't figure out why he is so effective, I Know he is a sidewinder, He is like Swindle from last year a loogy.
I dont like interfering with the development of young starting pitchers. Knapp needs to dominate for another year and a half before they should think about calling him up at all. Sometimes its ok to call up starters to work in relief, but you have to be VERY careful and make sure they get enough work. Bastardo, for example, has shown he can work fine out of the bullpen as well as starting. However, using someone like Carrasco out of the bullpen is not really a good idea.
Call up Majewski, Bastardo, Koplove, or someone like that.
The real answer to the problem isn't Koplove or Majweski, or any other reliever, its getting the starters deeper into games, if they continue then we need a top starter who can give us innings. The best thing right now is we have some ammuntion to pull off a trade for Peavy or Oswalt if we have to do it. Drabek, Donald, Galvis, Brown, Knapp, Marson, they are stud prospect, beside Stutes and Worley we have the prospect to do a trade if they need to.
Koplove and majweski suck really bad i have seen them so many times at lehigh valley and they are very inconsistent and cannot throw strikes! Drabek and carrassco would be a better fit for the bull pen if lidge cant go
I'm not sure if that beta-sigma-shag comment was directed at me or not?… I was never too hot on the great first week the prospects had.. the same way I was never upset that the Phillies were playing .500 ball to start the season.
Read back over the comments if you want.. you bring established guys into your organization for the simple reason that if one of your regulars goes down, you have someone with experience to fill-in..
that is why Majewski and Koplove are here, and the reason I believe either would get the call if a need came up
German's thrown 11.2 Innings already.. so he's pitching to more than just a hitter or two per game. I didn't know anything about him.. I don't think i'd ever heard of him before I just looked at Reading's stats.. maybe him topping out at 82 messes with the hitter's timing THAT much, but that should induce more pop-ups than it does Strikeouts
Drabek and Carrasco WILL NOT BE PUT INTO THE BULLPEN…
no TOP pitching prospect is going to be pulled from their development to fill-in to an unfamiliar role at the highest level..
Happ can't accomplish anything more at AAA, he's obviously good enough to be in the Majors.. and he would be in the rotation on probably 25 of the teams in baseball.
Drabek is at least two years away from the Majors..
Carrasco MIGHT see some action here this year, but probably only a spot-start or September callup.. Next year he could be in the rotation if all goes as planned
The last thing they need it to being up another junkballer with Moyer stuff to give up EVEN MORE home runs….
I have been asking about him on phuturephillies, I know he is pitching more than a loogy but that is what he project as in the majors. I couldn't believe he was that effective at that slow speed, maybe its the sidewinding motion he has, not sure all I know is he is big ,But the real answer as I stated is longer starts, they must get us to the seventh inning or at least 6 in each start, early exit by starters kill your pen.
Sorry hit key one thing I totally disagree on is Drabek I really believe if he doesn't get hurt he is a september call up and fights next year for a spot. The talent is there and he has the bloodline, a father who coaches him and was a pitcher so in my opinion he is advanced, The biggest knocks on this kid were size which he has grown and attitude that is why he slip in the draft.
I agree that the answer is to get more quality innings from your starting pitching….thats always the case…
however, I dont think they need another soft-tossing member of this staff who throws a sinker that doesnt sink, a slider that doesnt slide, a cutter that doesnt cut, and a curveball thas doesnt curve. Thats a recipe for disaster.
Geoff Says listen to people who have seen German he is another Swindle. do you remember him?
hhahaa I'm not asking for German to get put on the roster.. I just saw those numbers..
and like I always say, Stats show a lot, but they don't show everything..
If he was as good as he numbers indicated, we would have heard of him a long time ago..
But really, Koplove and Majewski were brought here IN CASE.. so if something happens, one of them gets the nod
koplove and majewski certainly suck at throwing strikes in spring training, going up against a higher caliber of opponents than they are now… have they both really fell off that bad?
certainly didn't suck, that should say =D
Kyle Drabek has a total of ZERO innings at any level above Class-A Clearwater… at Clearwater, he's got a total of 24 innings.
While he's looked strong.. he's only recently removed from Tommy John (at a young age for the surgery)
I'd like to see him continue to excel at A, then move up to Reading in the 2nd half of the season…
It wouldn't be a stretch to think we might see him in 2011, but I highly doubt he'll be anywhere close to the Majors in September
two words:
Drabeks got a year at the earliest. My thinking is Myers will walk…replaced with Carrasco (presuming Moyer and Park/Happ hold up), then the follwing year Blanton will walk…replaced by Drabek.
I didn't mean to offend and I was not directing my comments to anyone person, the point I attempted to make was, isn't there young relievers in our minor system that are doing good we can bring up for two weeks, I agree you don't want to bring up a young starter to pitch every 2 or 3 days for an inning or two. And I am not worried at all at Madson being able to close
I seem to remember both Koplove and Majewski doing very well in Spring Training. Am I wrong?
koplove started hot and had one or two crappy outings… majewski i was almost positive was a lock for the 25 man roster but… insurance policies are nice too. oh btw i sell allstate insurance if anyone's interested lol
They both did well.. and they are both continuing to pitch well in AAA
Either would be a nice addition if somebody had to spend some time on the DL
Neither will win the Cy Young this year, but as fill-in relievers, they look like they would be pretty good.
You don't want to bring up "young relievers" because most times, they are overwhelmed by tough competition.. which is why so many relievers stay in the game for a long time.. guys that might pitch awesome with 3,000 fans watching them in a Double-A stadium, all of a sudden can't find the strikezone with 43,000 people watching..
This could be this years story line – pitcher pulled in to fill key starting role on Phils squad – I say it wont be too long before we see a visit from Carrasco and more innings from Happ.
Joe B, Scott Eyre and Myers have to figure out why the ball is jumping out on them.
Is Cole upset because he should have been able to sustain a pic on his ankle? Is that something we see Chase Utley do on a very frequent basis. No doubt, he is quite upset at himself.
So much power this year, so refreshing to see the Phils own another winning percentage in the month of April – the last time they came out and had a winning April? Last year. The WS champions are looking good. And this is pretty much all offense so far
Marlins score 2 off of Johan in the first.
We have quite a few options down in the minors because all of the minor league free agents that the phillies signed in the offseason
The one thing I can tell you is he is heading to reading as soon as the weather changes, barring injuries or some other pitching setback. They want him in warmer weather. And I may be way off base on him being here in september, but he has all the tools to be something special and they will challenge him. Where as with other prospect Knapp it going to be slow. Knapp has a delievery they are trying to change for fear of injury a lot of people think because of his delivery his future is as a reliver, This year they did something they don't normal do and that was fast track, Stutes and Worley and Worley I believe is twenty,I think they have change the way there farm system runs, a lot of the coaches in double aa and triple aa were changed.
mikemike, if you're talking about Drabek, I'm with you. He is tearing up A ball and the Phils are just waiting until the weather gets better to bring him to Reading. Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus said that if he had a re-do of his preseason prospect rankings, Drabek would definitely be in the top 100, maybe even top 50. That is high praise.
With Geoff, anything below 90 mph is considered "junk" for a pitcher. Velocity matters more than location it seems. (chuckles)
I'm more concern about Hamels' situation. The rotation is already out of order and as one poster here stated, the early struggles of the starters is "taxing" the bullpen. The team have an N.L.-high 5.72 ERA and have allowed a homer in all but one of their 19 games (the one that Moyer was outstanding). I read that at their current rate, the Phillies would allow 341 homers this season. The major league record for homers allowed in a season is 241, by the 1996 Detroit Tigers. The Phillies are fortunate they have a winning record thanks to NINE "comeback" wins of the eleven they have. Needless to say that is not the usual way of winning. During the course of the season, the offense is not always going to be there. The peaks and valleys with inevitable offensive slumps will require solid pitching of both starters and bullpen. That's why I am concern that Hamels and Lidge get healthy as soon as possible and minimize potential problems with other pitchers.
If Lidge goes on the DL, there's no reason to bring up Jason Knapp at all. Why would the Phils want to start his "service time" clock? Bring Majewski and Koplove (if Hamels has to go n the DL, too.) That's why the Phils acquired these two relievers and signed them to Minor League contracts — as insurance policies for injuries, overuse, and/or ineffectiveness…As far as Madson closing, I think he will be just fine. Sure the Mets have seen him, but he didn't start throwing 96-97 mph until late last year. Mad Dog didn't throw that much against the Mets late last year. Also, he knows how to pitch up in the zone (and of course, a little above the zone) with heat. The Mets don't have anyone who can handle high cheese like his. In fact, there are only a handful of hitters in all of baseball that can.
Obviously not…location is key. But If merely doing one or the other was acceptable anyone could be a pitcher in professional baseball. Moyer is a soft tosser for sure, but he can still throw 82mph and change speeds. You HAVE to be able to change speeds. Still, he throws all garbage with ONE really good pitch (changeup).
But If there are guys in the majors that throw 72 mph fastballs and 52 mph breaking stuff (RJ Swindle) then I should just go and head and try out for the Riversharks or the Trenton Thunder next week!
The slower you throw, the more you have to know how to "pitch" and locate your spots and setup hitters. Thats where Moyer is proficient despite all the things I dislike about him.
off topic but does anyone else wish we kept paulino and traded coste? paulino's battin .333 with a homer and 5 rbis, coste is hitting .189 with zero hrs and 5 rbis.
I'd rather have Koplove or Majewski, as well. No need to call the younger guys yet.
Jason Knapp??… he'd probably have the same success against Major League hitters as he does against the guys that Lakewood plays…
People are nuts
nah i still don't want paulino, coste isn't off to a good start but i'm glad he's there to work with marson in this situation. marson has said in the past that he looks up to coste and tries to learn as much as possible from him when he gets the chance to be around him.
The "speedsters" Fernando Tatis and Daniel Murphy have stolen bases off of Paulino so far today. Paulino is hitting well, but it's a small sample size.
Putz (isn't that a great name for a MUTS reliver?) just coughed the lead in the eight inning…… seems like old times!
lets just get this out there – Madson is greatness!!
you might see it after this upcoming draft, what I mean is a pitcher going to the majors with little minor league time. This kid Strasberg is considerd the best draft prospect ever, I never saw him but they say he is far and away the best pitching prospect they ever saw.
yeah, Strasburg is the real deal. He will be a superstar. The Nationals have the first overall pick thanks to having the worst record in baseball last year. They can thank the Phillies for sweeping them and the Mariners for sweeping a meaningless series against the A's at the end of the season, thus giving the Mariners one extra win than the Nats.
One thing about pitchers they scare me. Coming out of college Prior was just unhittable. I think he had a record for wins, look at his career, same thing with Wood his stuff was electric. never could stay healthy.

The United Way is hoping enough people will be able to donate about eight hours of their time to help the organization make some tough decisions. "Someone that's passionate about the community, has a good understanding of community need, or someone that wants to read the grants, wants to get involved in volunteerism on a deeper level and wants to get a better understanding of our community through reading the grants," said United Way Community Impact Director Jason Larsen.
You can sign up to volunteer at the local United Way's website: www.gruw.org/volunteer.
The deadline to volunteer is November 22nd.

/ Emergency Watershed Protection Program
2013 Flood Recovery
2013 Fire Recovery
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) administers the Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) Program, which responds to emergencies created by natural disasters. It is not necessary for a national emergency to be declared for an area to be eligible for assistance.
The program is designed to help people and conserve natural resources by relieving imminent hazards to life and property caused by floods, fires, windstorms, and other natural occurrences. EWP is an emergency recovery program. All projects undertaken, with the exception of the purchase of floodplain easements, must have a project sponsor.
EWP is designed for installation of recovery measures. Activities include providing financial and technical assistance to:
remove debris from stream channels, road culverts, and bridges,
reshape and protect eroded banks,
correct damaged drainage facilities,
establish cover on critically eroding lands,
repair levees and structures, and
repair conservation practices.
Public and private landowners are eligible for assistance but must be represented by a project sponsor. Sponsors include legal subdivisions of the State, such as a city, county, general improvement district, conservation district, or any Native American tribe or tribal organization as defined in section 4 of the Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act.
Sponsors are responsible for:
providing land rights to do repair work

The term "social support" often appears in discussions of relationships [7]. Social support means having friends and other people, including family, to turn to in times of need or crisis to give you a broader focus and positive self-image. Social support enhances quality of life and provides a buffer against adverse life events.
Social support can take different forms:
One of the earliest studies on the physical and psychological health benefits of social support was in 1905. Dr. Joseph Pratt, an internist from Boston, gathered a group of tuberculosis patients together to educate them about hygiene in relation to their illness. This "support group" provided early evidence of the power of psychological support in physical health and healing.
Social support, whether from a trusted group or valued individual, has been shown to reduce the psychological and physiological consequences of stress, and may enhance immune function. Social networks [9], whether formal (such as a church or social club) or informal (meeting with friends) provide a sense of belonging, security, and community.
In fact, social support is now proven to be a literal life-saver. People that are supported by close relationships [7] with friends, family, or fellow members of church, work, or other support groups are less vulnerable to ill health and premature death. Individuals afflicted with leukemia or heart disease [10] have higher survival rates if they have extensive social support. There is also a strong tie between social support and measures of wellbeing. Those who have close personal relationships cope better with various stressors [11], including bereavement, job loss, rape, and illness (See Salovey, 2000).
With any social support network, make sure you feel comfortable with the group's beliefs, practices, and expectations. While it's unrealistic to think you'll never experience any disagreement with your friends, family, or other social support network, remember that spending time with them should make you feel accepted, peaceful, and energized, not coerced or anxious.
There are many models of organized group support with a health and healing focus, including (but not limited to) the following:

A Zanesville woman died on Friday after falling from a third-story window at a senior-living facility.
Iris Jasper, 83, died in Zanesville's Genesis Good Samaritan Hospital of injuries she suffered in the fall at Helen Purcell, a 125-year-old privately owned nonprofit senior living center, which includes apartments, assisted-living units and full nursing-home care. About 50 people live there.
Drew McLandrich, the interim administrator at Helen Purcell, said all of the windows at the facility are equipped with a stop that allows them to be opened only a few inches. It's possible, however, to override the mechanism, she said, which was the case in Jasper's room.
"They (the window stops) were in place on her window," McLandrich said. "They are defeatable, and they were defeated." Steps will be taken to prevent that from happening again, she said.
McLandrich would not say how or why Jasper overrode the lock or how she fell, saying only that the incident remains under investigation by the facility and that law enforcement has not been involved.
Calls to the Zanesville police department were not returned.
Administrators do not believe Jasper committed suicide.
Jasper, a longtime Zanesville resident, is survived by her husband, who lives at another long-term-care facility, five sons and three daughters.
She was a volunteer at Genesis Good Samaritan Hospital and, McLandrich said, "a very delightful woman."

Trailers for Ths American Life
"We wanted to make a TV show that feels like the radio show, but isn't just the radio show on TV."
Can This American Life successfully transfer its intimate and quirky storytelling style onto cable TV? Find out March 22nd when it debuts on Showtime!
"In episode 1, host Ira Glass tells three stories of people who set out to make their dreams come true, but were snapped back to reality by unpleasant outcomes: an elementary school student tries to solve a common childhood problem; a rancher resuscitates a beloved pet, which later turns on him; people team to give an unknown rock band the greatest night of its life."
I think the trailers show a lot of promise. Teenagers, Jesus, and falling in love with a pig? I'm going to love this show.

Remington 221 Rem Fireball Light Varmint/Stainless Fluted Barrel/Synthetic
Nearly two pounds lighter than the Model 700 VS SF, the Model 700 LV SF

The 22" medium contour stainless steel barrel (0.657 muzzle O.D.) features
six longitudinal flutes that substantially increase the heat dissipating
surface area of the barrel, which helps retain multiple shot precision and
extend barrel life. The recessed bolt face of the jeweled bolt completely
encloses the cartridge head in three rings of steel for unmatched strength.
All metalwork features a stainless finish for added durability and
corrosion resistance. The action is pillar bedded in a custom designed,
black composite stock with a semi-beavertail forend and blind-box magazine
to provide extra stability and consistent shot-to-shot accuracy. The stock
also includes swivel studs and the revolutionary R3 recoil pad.

Richard Childress Racing
Recent News
Crew Member Spotlight - Kris "Peanut Butter" McCabe
March 8, 2014
So, how does one go from delivering pizza to victory lane at Indianapolis Motor Speedway? Ask the shock specialist on the No. 27 Menards Chevrolet SS team, Kris McCabe.
McCabe, 28, was born in Brick Township, N.J., but grew up in nearby Forked River.
"I was working at the pizza place while I was in high school at age 17," McCabe recalls. "One day, this huge NASCAR fan came in and he knew I liked racing, too. He told me there was this Busch East team in Mayetta (N.J.) and his brother-in-law worked there and I should go check it out.
"So, I went there and told them I wanted to work on the team. They asked me if I was willing to sweep floors and I said, 'Sure, no problem' and that's how I got started in racing."
That race team just happened to be Truex Motorsports with driver Martin Truex, Jr.
"Later that year, Martin, Jr. got called to become the driver for Chance 2 Motorsports in the NASCAR Nationwide Series," McCabe said. "I was still in high school and they said to give them a call before I graduated.
"So, two months later I was graduated and moving to North Carolina with two pick-up trucks carrying all my stuff. I was working full time in the NASCAR ranks with Paul Menard in the then-called Busch Series at Dale Earnhardt, Inc. in 2007."
How did you become a shock specialist in the sport?
"Well, when I was with DEI they needed someone to do shocks and I had been around a few months. So, the guy who was doing it taught me all he could before he left. And, I've been doing it ever since."
How did you get the nickname of Peanut Butter?
"I become friends with a guy nicknamed Elvis at DEI. We were always seen together working and hanging out. We were the two youngest guys in the shop and they used to say we were like peanut butter and jelly because we were always seen together. Matter of fact, he married my sister and now we're family."
Best moment in racing, so far?
"That's an easy one; winning the 2011 Brickyard 400 and going to victory lane at Indy with Paul."
Toughest part about your job?
"My wife, Allison, and I have a two-year old girl named Maryn. It's tough to be away from them especially when Maryn calls and wants to talk about everything and keeps asking when I'm going to come home. I give a lot of credit to Allison for keeping things going around the house."

Outfielder Mitch Haniger and left-handed pitcher Anthony Banda were sent to the Diamondbacks.
Parra is expected to join the team Friday in St. Louis.
"The addition of Parra gives us a veteran player who helps to balance our lineup and also brings Gold Glove defense," general manager Doug Melvin said in a statement.
Parra, 27, is batting .259 with six home runs and 30 RBIs in 104 games this season. He has made 98 starts.
Signing as a non-drafted free agent on Aug. 30, 2004, Parra had spent his entire professional career in the Diamondbacks organization. He is a career .274 hitter with 39 home runs and 250 RBIs in 787 major league games (2009-14).
Parra, known for his defense, has won National League Gold Glove Awards in left field (2011) and right field (2013).
Haniger, 24, was selected by the Brewers in the supplemental first round of the 2012 draft. He batted .255 with 10 home runs and 34 RBIs in 67 games at Double-A Huntsville this season.
Banda, 20, was selected by the Brewers in the 10th round of the 2012 draft. He was 6-6 with a 3.66 ERA and two saves in 20 games (14 starts) at Class A Wisconsin this season.
To make room for Parra on the 25-man roster, outfielder Logan Schafer will be optioned to Triple-A Nashville.

As the name suggests, the Brooks PureFlow is designed to get you in your groove and keep you there, whether on a training run or your next big race.
Let's flow through the PureFlow, from top to bottom. First up, the upper provides a close fit throughout. Most testers liked the form-fitting upper, but the forefoot width and height in particular got a little too snug for others. Let's just say that runners with a high-volume foot need not apply, but those who like a streamlined fit will appreciate the PureFlow.
Moving on to the midsole, don't let the bubble shapes trick you – this is not the most cushioned ride out there. The PureFlow definitely feels softer and more stable than the PureConnect, a more race-oriented shoe in the PureProject line. In many ways it offers a similarly resilient ride to other lightweight, neutral shoes like the New Balance 890 v2 and Asics Blur33. If you're looking for a pillow, consider moving into a shoe like the Nike Zoom Elite+ or Nike Air Pegasus.
The outsole is comprised of blown rubber inserts placed on areas that will contact the ground. It provides good grip and seems to wear well. The PureFlow is a nice option if you're looking for a light and flexible shoe that will put a pop in your step.
I felt just a little too hemmed in in the toe box. But I'd still be up for using the PureFlow for training runs, and I like that it's light enough to work as a race day shoe also.
A great fit, and Brooks packed in a lot of cushioning. I could see someone who likes the Kinvara or PureConnect choosing this shoe for a slightly more supple ride as the miles go by.
This shoe has soft, resilient cushioning without being squishy. It's protective without losing a lot of responsiveness.
