2009: A Year in Review (Pt I)
It's hard to know where to begin in a year that saw both halves of RSBS turn 30. 30? I was supposed to be a multi-millionaire by now. What happened with that?
But that doesn't mean it was all bad. Jeff came to visit me in DC and we wound up with high roller seats at a Nationals game. Or should I say Natinals? And I also made it to Chicago to film the immediately iconic video, "Crush," with Jeff. By the time October rolled around and the Tigers came within a game of making the playoffs, it felt like a pretty full year.
As Dickens said, "It was the best of times, and it was the worst of times." And it sure was. The blog, just like our personal lives, had its fair share of ups and downs. Being the guy that he is, Jeff especially liked to catch people when they were down and give 'em one more kick, just to help them stay down. Don't believe me? Ask Milton Bradley, Brad Lidge or the entire Cubs organization.
However, this is the time of year when we spend some time celebrating the ups. And what better way to celebrate than by breaking down my favorite Jeffery Lung authored posts in list format?
2nd Honorable Mention:
Blocked by Barry
Jeff loves the interwebs and this love led to many memorable moments brought to us by Google and Coco Crisp. But if there was one internet interlude that could be defined as the paragon, it had to have been when Jeff was blocked from Barry Zito's Twitter account by…..Barry Zito!
Honorable Mention:
The Modern Era All-Corrupt Baseball-Politico Team
Although Chicago has never lacked political corruption scandals, Rod Blagojevich may have set a new standard for brazenness. Or maybe you thought he did until this year's team of All-Star corrupt politicos was unveiled. Sure, he's brazen. But is he Marion Barry brazen?
2nd Runner Up:
All-Starred Out
Moving from All-Corrupt to All-Star, RSBS was lucky enough this year to have a presence at the All-Star Game played in St. Louis. Jeff may not have come through on his bet to get a date with Erin Andrews but he more than made up for it in pictures. Especially pictures of his porn-stache.
1st Runner Up:
What Joe Carter Taught My Dad About His Son
Some people may question other people's love of baseball. But after reading this entry, you'll never question Jeff's. Even if it does sometimes lead to weird quasi-international incidents, we now know that there's one thing that can bring a boy and his father or Americans and Canadians together and his name is Joe Carter.
And the Winner is……:
RSBS TV: "Jesus Hates the Cubs"
Could it really have been anything else? The sheer audacity of suggesting that the messiah/prophet/best-selling author has it in for Chicago's lovable losers re-cemented Jeff's status as one of the pre-eminent Cubs haters in the country. And the fact that Jesus showed up for the shoot just proves the thesis.
So, that's about it for another year here at RSBS. It's cold now but pitchers and catchers will be reporting soon and we'll be there to welcome them back.
6 Comments
I am surprised that Barry Zito only has one Twitter account. If I had the money he did, then I would have at least three.
What? What are you talking about? Twitter is free dude…. P.S. Zito sucks.
Gotcha. Just checkin'😉
There were lots of favorite RSBS posts to choose from, but my personal fave was Blocked by Barry. I could feel Jeff's indignation seeping through my computer screen! Happy New Year!
MARION BARRY?! AAAAAAAA! Thanks for that nightmare from my DC youth! (And then he gets voted back onto DC City Coucil!) That would qualify as "worst of times" for this peon! As I see it, Blago has work to do to catch up to ol' Marion!
"Jesus Hates the Cubs" is Numero Uno? Whodathunkit?😉

Power staying on at Ormet
HANNIBAL – Ormet finally scored a win with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, as the shuttered aluminum producer will be able to at least keep the lights on until the end of its bankruptcy proceedings.
Officials with Ormet and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency feared that if American Electric Power disconnected service to the plant today as planned, hazardous materials such as arsenic and cyanide would have flooded the Ohio groundwater because electric pumps that prevent the waste from leaking would have stopped running.
According to a PUCO ruling issued late Wednesday, AEP must maintain electricity to Ormet as "a reasonable means to protect the public from the potential environmental harm that may result from Ormet's disconnection."
"We will abide by the commission's order and are working with Ormet on a weekly prepayment plan that will apply going forward through the pendency of the bankruptcy proceeding," AEP spokeswoman Terri Flora said Thursday.
Ormet CEO Mike Tanchuk announced the full shutdown of the Hannibal plant on Oct. 4, after the PUCO refused to lower Ormet's AEP costs as much as Ormet requested. This leaves nearly 1,000 workers wondering whether they have worked their last shifts at the Monroe County plant.
Emphasizing the company faced high electric bills coupled with low aluminum prices, Ormet filed for bankruptcy in February. The company later announced a planned $221 million sale to Minnesota-based Wayzata, but officials said this transaction required convincing the PUCO to allow Ormet to have lower AEP bills.
Meanwhile, John Puskar, staff representative for the United Steelworkers, said displaced Ormet workers are facing a very challenging situation. Employees have lost their company-funded health care benefits, which he said can leave them with huge medical bills.
At the Monroe County Department of Jobs and Family Services office in Woodsfield, laid off Ormet employees covered under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act notice can receive new job training. For example, the agency can pay for someone to train to receive a commercial driver's license to become a truck driver, or pay for someone to become a certified welder. Call the agency at 740-472-1602 for more information.
Displaced workers seeking unemployment compensation should call 877-644-6562, or go to unemployment.ohio.gov.

In their ongoing bid to be crowned the most inconsistent team in Major League Baseball history, the Phillies followed up their feel-good 13-8 beat down of the Mets last night by losing to the same hapless team 5-4 this afternoon.
A ninth inning rally would put some pressure on the Mets, but the Phils couldn't find a way to pull it out. The loss snapped a streak of seven straight wins for the Phils at Citi Field and was yet another chapter in Cole Hamels' disappointing 2013 campaign.
– Over his last three starts, Cole Hamels had posted a 1.57 ERA in 23.0 innings pitched. In his lone start at Citifield this season, he allowed one run over six innings while striking out eight. Against a dysfunctional Mets offense, there was reason for optimism with Hamels on the mound today. Unfortunately, someone forgot to tell him that.
Hamels struggled right out of the gate, throwing a lot of balls and letting the Mets easily wipe out what was an early Phillies lead in the first inning. Some of it could be blamed on luck–a bloop single and fielder's choice both produced runs in the first for the Mets–but much of it was on Hamels' lack of control, and his inability to put hitters away. He would end the inning with 34 pitches thrown, and three runs allowed.
After the rocky first, he'd allow just one run over the next four innings before getting lifted. With a line of 5.0 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, it was another mediocre start for Hamels. No matter how you slice it, he's had too many of those this year. In 21 starts , he's failed to pitch beyond the sixth inning 13 times in 2013. That's simply not acceptable for a high paid front of the rotation starter. Hamels has been a better pitcher by more than a half run after the All Star break over the course of his career, and he'd do well to find some of that second half magic, and fast.
– The Phillies got their first look at heralded Mets prospect, Zach Wheeler, and the returns were mixed. Jimmy Rollins greeted the rookie with a big fly just over the 375 sign in right center to lead off the game, the 45th time he has done so in his career. The homer was also the first for Rollins since May 31.
– For the next three innings, the Phillies wouldn't score any runs, despite an abundance of baserunners. (Shocking, I know.) They did make Wheeler work quite a bit, and, in the fifth, they finally pushed another one across. The inning started with a single from Hamels, and he came around to score on a Chase Utley sac fly. With the bases loaded and two outs, Wheeler was lifted after throwing 106 pitches in just 4.2 innings. That brought in Gonzalez Germen to face Delmon Young at a crucial point in the game. Though Young was 2-for-2 to that point, he came up small, striking out to end the inning with the Phils trailing by one. They should have had more against Wheeler, but to his credit (and also to Germen's credit), he limited the damage and held the lead.
– A two-out, two-run home run and double in the ninth by Utley and Domonic Brown, respectively, would make things interesting in the ninth. But Darin Ruf would line out to second to end the ballgame. It was really a story of missed opportunities with the offense today, as they left ten on base and went 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position.
– Jake Diekman allowed a run on a single by Daniel Murphy in the seventh after taking over for J.C. Ramirez. The run was charged to Ramirez, and it proved to be the deciding fact when the ninth inning rally fell just short. It will be overlooked, as today's game was all about the offense's failure to execute, but this is what a bullpen that can't stop the scoring can do to a team.
– The Phils will try to get a series victory tomorrow when they send Cliff Lee (10-3, 2.86) to mound against Matt Harvey (7-2, 2.35). If you love pitching, this is the game for you.

Cole Hamels deserves his 4-12 record. You are what your record says you are. – Bill Parcells
Switch Hamels 4-12 to 12-4 and you are in first place.
Giving guys with a laid back California attitude and who have stated they are glad the season over is a risky proposition at best.
That said with how bad this division is. And with the boost of Howards not being in the 4 hole every day I think they have a chance.
The NL east is a joke. Put them in the AL east and the Phils lose 100.
Need to win games like this though.
I am still holding out hope.
Go phils!!!!
Bill Parcells said that about a team, not a player. Your statement shows an almost complete misunderstanding of what goes into a pitcher's win-loss record. Lance Lynn has similar numbers across the board as Hamels this year, but he was 11-5 before today.
ESPN MLB has them at 8% to make the playoffs.
Id put it at 10%
So theres a chance.
Need Hamels to go 10-2 the rest of the way though.
A Fraud Whiner..only posts after a loss..here you go..if Phils had a healthy Ryan Howard and Roy Halladay all year they'd be in first by 6 games…save your Go Phils!
Well I guess if they could get in a time machine and pick up Babey Ruth and be really good.
Only a fraud fan complains about injuries to aged players who figure to get hurt every year.
If you extend Halladays 9 ERA for the full season that helps how?
Howards base running and defense helps how?
His one home run every 6 games helps how much?
Go Phillies!
I am sorry some of the fans cant even contemplate that the 100M dollar newly re-signed pitcher is 4-12.
They need to defend his performance.
These fraud/stupid kool aid drinking fans have annoyed me for years.
Sorry I have a life and cannot comment every time one of your golden boys gets a hit or pitches well.
Which is by the way
Doing his job
If you have such a life that you can't comment when something good happens, why is it that yiou can spare the time in your seemingly important life to complain bitterly about 5000 times after a loss?
Lol..atta boy George..he has no life.. He's a fantasy genius..
Let's face it, Cole Hamels has lost his competitive edge. His big contract has made him complacent. I hope the Philadelphia Boo Birds really give this guy the business in the future. We need more from this Man-Child. He is a whimp. And a rich one at that.
This can't be serious.
Yea the same people bitched last year about Cliff lee. Now they love him. They loved Hamels last year and were happy the phils locked him up. Now he makes too much money. He's not having a great year granted. But his record is not indicative as to how he's pitched. He has earned at least 5-6 of those losses. So if he had any run support in the other six games they would be wins and he'd be 10-6 ! I know if the Queen had balls she'd be a king blah blah. I hate when he doesn't pitch ace worthy but he'll have much better years in the future. Get over it.
Was his performance in 2008 an aberration? Was it because he didn't fully comprehend the magnitude of the World Series and playoffs? I am beginning to wonder now.
DTD, you keep referring to 2008 for some reason, but he at least as good or better in 2010-2012.
*he _was_ at least as good or better in 2010-2012.
Dear God, what is wrong with you people when it comes to Cole Hamels???? He battled and lost today. It's embarrassing to be a fan in this town. Questioning his WS performance now? Are you kidding me???
I questioned whether his MVP performance was an aberration because he certainly hasn't returned to that form since then. When an athlete signs a huge contract and does not live up to the expectations from that contract (especially with a losing record and sub-par stats Hamels has chalked up this year) it certainly is fair to question his performance. Not just here in Philadelphia but everywhere. Ask yourself, has Hamels lived up to his contract thus far? Has Hamels thrown a shut down game when one has been needed? Perhaps we are looking at a Barry Zito like contract here.
Well, I suppose anything possible, DTD, but you probably wouldn't be asking that question if he had the same stats, but was instead 11-4 like Lance Lynn.
Although Hamels' WAR is and was generally better than Zito's, the current season's stats are eerily similar to Barry Zito's following his signing with the Giants.
Zito in 2007: 4.53 ERA, 4.82 FIP, 4.84 xFIP (in a pitcher's park, and in a full year)
Hamels 2013: 4.16 ERA, 3.64 FIP, 3.67 xFIP (in a neutral park)
Zito's first year was already worse than Hamels' 2013, but what cemented the Zito contract as a bad one was following up that first year with another bad year in 2008: 5.15 ERA, 4.72 FIP, 5.28 xFIP.
Also, look at the two pitchers' stats in the 3 years leading up to their big contract, and tell me which one better earned it, and which one is a better bet to pitch well during the contract:
Barry Zito (2004-06): 4.05 ERA, 4.57 FIP, 4.76 xFIP
C.Hamels (2010-12): 2.97 ERA, 3.34 FIP, 3.18 xFIP
Schmenkman well said. I simply wanted to point out the similarities in the two players, their contracts and their first year performances in those contracts, to-wit, Zito's contract was once considered to be the worst in the majors. The tell-tale, as you point out, will be the 2014 season.
There was a time when the offense was floundering the pitching would carry us. When the pitching floundered the offense came through. Then again this is why you lose games and this is why we are at .500.
I feel that Cole has slipped this year. He lost his edge. His record shows this. He has great potential. And he is paid a boatload. As a paying fan, I have a right and obligation to demand a better performance from him. So do you..
Hamels is not pitching as well as he has in recent years, although he's not pitching any worse than the 11-4 Lance Lynn, for example.
L. Lynn: 4.00 ERA, 11 quality starts (58%), 11-4 record
Hamels: 4.16 ERA, 14 quality starts (67%), 4-12 record (after tonight)
Hamels is next to last in the NL (61st out of 62 qualifying pitchers) in the run support he's gotten.
So given that a lot of his record is not his own doing, I find statements like this as nothing more than psychobabble and character assassination:
"his big contract has made him complacent"
"I hope the Philadelphia Boo Birds really give this guy the business"
"he is a whimp"
Long time fan & lots of expectations – spewing is expected.
Its not psychobabble or character assassination, its frustration – nothing more.
But Bart, he is not a wimp and is probably beating himself each and every slip up.
He has never been consistently stable in his career as a matter of fact, looking at his past record I would project (here we go again) a much better return on investment next season…
"Wait until next year!"
The Phillies defense has been shaky. The defense was a lot better in 2009 and 2010 than it has been this year. Hamels had three great games in a row before this game. And, the Mets have been a very good offensive team lately that has good power from the right side. And, then they have a player like Satin who takes a lot of pitches and who has walked about 1 in every 5 plate appearances in his brief time with the Mets.
Mets have been hot this month. They have good power from their right-handed hitters. Marlon Byrd has just been on fire with an OPS of .931 in July. Eric Young has an OPS of .781 in July. Lagares has an OPS of .802 in July. John Buck has an OPS of .862 in July after a terrible May and June. Wright's OPS is .900 in July which is close to his season OPS. They are hitting well now.
Good point — in fact in July (about 14 games for most teams) they lead the NL in scoring with 5.6 per game. They're 3rd in OPS so far in the month, 2nd in OBP, and lead the NL in walks.
On the bright side, the Braves lost, we almost came back to tie it, we are getting into a hitting grove, and the one reliever, Luis Garcia, aka the barber, has been a good find so far. Of course, he's probably destined to implode soon. Lol. Anyway, pitching duel tomorrow b/w Lee Harvey.
With that matchup, all we need is Oswalt in relief.
I wonder how many people will actually pick up on that pun, Schmenkman.
I'm sure AFW has some sort of comment…
Positive- Braves and Nats both lost.
So be easy everyone 🙂
But yeah moving a game up would've been nice.
Yes, but the Reds won again, so the Phils are now 7 out in the loss column of both the 2nd Wild Card and the Division with 64 games to go.
I believe the Phillies were 52-46 at this point in 2010. 88 games might be enough to win the division this year. The Braves are not without problems. The Nationals are in trouble too.
Regarding the wildcard, the Pirates are 3-7 in their last 10 games. Regarding the Reds winning, another team in wild-card contention, the Pirates lost.
On trade moves that could be made, Alex Rios really hurt his trade value on Friday when he didn't run out a ground ball. He might be an improvement to the Phillies hitting on paper but you really can't stomach a guy trotting down the line on DP groundball especially when there are so many things that can go wrong defensively on such a play. While his grandslam on Saturday might convince some of his value, the one thing that fans can't tolerate is a player not willing to give 100%.
For the Phils to win the division with 88 wins, they'll have to go 39-25 (61% winning pct.) while the Braves go 32-33. While it is not impossible, it seems like a long shot for one of those to happen, much less both. As a fan, we have nothing to do but hope that this scenario comes to fruition. However, unless those odds improve greatly in the next 10 days, I hope management takes a more realistic approach when they decide to buy, hold or sell. I don't believe comparisons between the 2012-13 Phillies, who have played .500 ball over their last 260 games, and the 2010 Phillies are relevant. In 2010, the Phils had a healthy Halladay and added Oswalt for the stretch run plus they had a much more talented offense and a better defense than this group.
Yes the Pirates lost, which is unfortunate because it was to the Reds, but the Phils trail the Pirates by 10 in the loss column. It would have been much better for the Phils if the Pirates had taken the last two from the Reds, not the other way around.
I still think that the Phils should (and will) hold off on any decisions until after they return from Detroit, but if they don't gain ground in the next 7 games, I'd hate to see them trade off any pieces of their future for a long-shot at best attempt to get into this year's playoffs.
Phils need to focus on winning division..
True. I think the Phils have to win their division.
On a side note. Ibanez just hit his 24th homer. I thought he was done when Phillies got rid of him. Give the man credit.
I could have told you he wasn't done. Glad he's showing some of these typical Phillies fans what he still can do. Love the guy.
Kudos to Raul. He always kept himself in great shape and I'm glad to see that he's prolonged his career and is still contributing a lot of power. That being said, he was effectively done as an NL player after he left the Phils – actually he was probably done as an NL player after 2009, but unfortunately the Phils did not realize it – as he went from being a below average OF when he signed here to a bad one to a horrific one fairly quickly.
He did have 90 games in the OF last year and is on pace for about that many.
I didn't say teams weren't allowed to put him in the OF, just that he is a horrible defender when they do so.
I agree hk, and he is terrible defensively, but even given a choice of DHing him or putting him in the outfield, NY and SES have chosen to play him in the field.
Imagine how many he would have if got to face Cliff" Put it on a tee"Lee?

Every Rug Needs a Rugpad
Yes, recommended to a friend.Better than Pottery Barn! July 17, 2014
"I purchased a 9x12 seagrass rug & have had a few weeks to live with it.
I absolutely LOVE how perfect this rug looks. I had a wool aubusson rug before, but it gave my living room a dated look. After rolling out the new rug, can't believe how my room has suddenly transformed!
I am doing a complete interior design redo & will be buying more of these now that I've seen the quality & beauty.
I also love the fact that seagrass is a natural plant fiber & is not going to harbor dust mites and allergans. So easy to clean with a quick vacuum & always looks perfect.. no wrinkles, footracks - just clean & modern."
Yes, recommended to a friend.Excellent rug! July 11, 2014
"I have seagrass rugs throughout my house and I find them to be attractive, hard wearing and all in all the perfect rug.
There's enough design to compliment the room while remaining simple and elegant.
Although cleaning with liquid is not recommended, with two dogs and a cat and a very messy husband, I do occasionally need to clean the rug with my steam cleaner and have never had a problem. I replace my living room rug every couple of years and retire the used one to the bedrooms or to my kids' apartments. Plenty of life left in them. Great rug for the price.
If I had to find one minor complaint, it would be that the borders get dirty quite quickly. They are easily cleaned though with a little resolve and a damp cloth and are as good as new with very little effort. I highly recommend this rug."
Yes, recommended to a friend.Great as always! July 04, 2014
"I have purchased several times from Natural Area Rugs . They are good quality, quick shipment, and more reasonably priced than other companies. Will order again!"
Yes, recommended to a friend.I'm Impressed! July 03, 2014
"Saw the great reviews, found a $100 off coupon online & bought a 9x12 seagrass rug, with the checkerboard weave.
I'm a bit picky & particular but was blown away by the fast delivery & packaging. And when I opened the rug... WOW! Gorgeous! Super high quality that I haven't found in any local retail stores. In fact this is replacing a Target rug that began falling apart in 3 months.
The weave is thick & sturdy and will last for years. It instantly gave my family room wood floors instant warmth & a contemporary styling. A great foundation for new furniture coming next.
The rug is a a medium sage-straw color, it goes great with many colors
The backing has non-slip built-in & does not have that weird rubber smell some other brands do. I did buy a pad anyway & it too is great quality. Rug has a clean, grass smell that is barely detectable & will dissipate in time.
Love this so much, going to buy for other rooms.
I do want to mention it is very nubby on bare feet which I don't mind, but if want smoother, there are other weave patterns.
I just love my first purchase!"
Yes, recommended to a friend.Great Choice May 31, 2014
"We can highly recommend purchasing this rug, just the look we wanted. It came very well packed and we can strongly recommend purchasing rugs from this company."
Yes, recommended to a friend.Perfection! May 07, 2014
"I am an interior designer and would recommend this rug to any client. I bought it for our reading room and it looks like a million bucks. Clean, modern lines are just what I was looking for. Great quality rug."
Yes, recommended to a friend.Great Rug!!!! April 25, 2014
"I purchased a 9x12 Lancaster rug over a year ago and still LOVE it! It did have a grassy smell for a few days but I loved the clean smell. This rug has been so easy to clean from drinks to food and pee and poop! Toddlers are messy! The Lancaster has held up beautifully and still looks new! Will be purchasing a few more for around the house."

What is in this article?:
- Peanut Rx program can help growers maximize profits
- Trying to make more peanuts
- A package you can use
- Need a good funcicide program
- The Peanut Rx is a risk index that helps Southeastern growers make smarter disease management decisions.
Everyone can agree there's a difference between any two peanut fields – five years behind peanuts is different from continuous peanuts. So why not treat them differently?
That's the premise behind Peanut Rx — a risk index that helps Southeastern growers make smarter disease management decisions. The program is based on years of studying the effects of reduced-fungicide spray programs on disease control and pod yields.
"We can treat fields differently, and growers can maximize profits with a prescription fungicide program," says Bob Kemerait, University of Georgia Extension plant pathologist.
Peanut Rx was developed by researchers and Extension specialists at the University of Georgia, the University of Florida and Auburn University.
In 2013, Peanut Rx prescription fungicide programs will be supported by Syngenta Crop Protection, Nichino-America, Arysta LifeScience, BASF, Bayer CropScience, DuPont and Sipcam Agro.
Speaking at the recent Georgia Peanut Farm Show in Tifton, Kemerait says he'd like to see more producers using Peanut Rx.
"I don't care what fungicide program you use, he says. "What I do care about is that you have the information you need to make the best decision for you based on cost of production and the efficacy of chemicals," he says.
It's difficult to control peanut diseases in the Southeast for two reasons, says Kemerait. "One, we've got a number of diseases — leafspot, white mold, limb rot, CBR, nematodes — every part of the plant and every part of the fruit or pod is affected. The second thing is if we're trying to protect against leafspot, we're making foliar applications, and protecting against soil-borne diseases can be very difficult."
Peanut Rx considers the three most important diseases of the crop — early and late leapspot, tomato spotted wilt virus, and white mold.
"In certain areas, CBR can be more of a problem, but on the whole, white mold is our biggest disease problem statewide. These three diseases are the ones we want to manage better and more cost-effectively using Peanut Rx.
"As we collect additional results from research, we hope one day to be able to include Rhizoctonia limb rot, CBR and the peanut root not nematode in Peanut Rx."
Better management, says Kemerait, doesn't mean you always get the best disease control. "In my opinion, the best management is when we make the most money as a farmer.

This tile picture depicts a battle that took place in Ramillies, a village in Brabant province in the Spanish Netherlands (modern Belgium), in May 1706. This battle was an important event in the War of the Spanish Succession, which arose from a dispute between English, Dutch, and French rulers over the succession to the throne of Spain. John Churchill, duke of Marlborough, commanded allied English and Dutch troops; François de Neufville, duke of Villeroi, led an equal number of opposing French forces.
The French arrived at Ramillies first but quickly lost their advantage; Villeroi unwisely stationed them along the entire length of a four-mile ridge. When Marlborough launched a powerful attack on the French left, Villeroi was forced to pull reinforcements from the center of his line. Marlborough then redirected half the troops from the left flank assault to attack the now-weakened French center. Undetected until it was too late, Marlborough's forces defeated Villeroi's overextended army. Both sides sustained thousands of casualties, but French losses were at least three times those of the English and Dutch. Although the victory at Ramillies seemed decisive, peace was not achieved until 1714.
A tile picture of this size would have been made as a special commission, most likely to commemorate someone who showed exceptional valor at the battle of Ramillies. The holes at the bottom of the picture are, appropriately, bullet holes.

Travel carbon neutral
Until the development of 100% eco-friendly engines, each flight you take produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and contributes to climate change. At Air Canada, we believe that everyone has the right to offset the effects of their air travel.
That's why we've joined efforts with Zerofootprint, an organization that uses high standards in carbon offsetting, to mitigate the effects of air travel on the environment so you can make your mark—without leaving one.
|Program results as of
Carbon offset purchases
Tonnes of
CO2e offset
Equivalent to taking this many cars off the road for a year
Carbon offsets are purchased from Zerofootprint, and not Air Canada. Air Canada is merely facilitating the purchase by customers of such credits. All the conditions included in the Notice section on aircanada.com apply.
Together, we have selected seven projects from across the country. It's now your turn to choose the projects that matter most to you. They all encompass the meaningful steps that play a role in preventing climate change:
Forest restoration project – Maple Ridge, B.C.
Maple Ridge, British Columbia is the site of a forest restoration project that aims to create a forest that will continue to be healthy beyond the lifespan of the current generation of trees, maximize the amount of CO2 that can be sequestered (or absorbed), and emulate natural forest growth.
Tire Recycling Program – Quebec
In Quebec, a tire recycling project utilizes used car and truck tires to manufacture a variety of products, including rubber carpets, car mats, new tires and other post-consumer goods.
Reducing energy use in buildings – Quebec
The measures put in place at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts of Fine Arts have resulted in both economic and environmental benefits, reducing the consumption of electricity and natural gas to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly. All initiatives being implemented can now be replicated across thousands of urban buildings.
Landfill Gas Recovery Project – Ontario
The landfill gas recovery project - located in Niagara Falls, Ontario - captures landfill gas from the East Quarry landfill and distributes it to a nearby plant that produces recycled content paper.
Organic waste composting – Ontario
The installation of a composting plant in Hamilton, Ontario, diverts municipal organic waste from landfills and produces high-quality compost. The cutting-edge technology creates a useful end product that often reduces the use of chemical fertilizers.
Treating Wastewater Naturally – Newfoundland
The construction of engineered wetlands is used to process wastewater. A complex ecosystem of plants, soil and microorganisms is created to break down and treat wastewater naturally. The system is highly efficient and avoids producing methane that normally results form conventional wastewater treatment processes.
Read more about these projects on the Zerofootprint page.
Offset your carbon emissions
With Zerofootprint, you can calculate the cost of your share of the CO2 emissions created by your flight and purchase corresponding offsets to become carbon neutral.

Aaron Rodgers remembers. He remembers seeing his friend get his hopes up each week, and he remembers the disappointment in his face every time it didn't happen for him.
A year ago, the Green Bay Packers quarterback watched as veteran safety Charles Woodson tried to come back from a broken right collarbone he'd suffered in October. At age 36, with his career dissipation light beginning to flicker more rapidly, Woodson knew time was a-wasting. He also got the sneaking feeling that, with a hefty 2013 salary on the books, there was a good chance he wouldn't be back if he didn't get back on the field.
And yet, each week, Woodson would be examined by team physician Dr. Pat McKenzie. Each week, they'd do a scan of his collarbone. Each week, he tried to press the issue. And each week, Woodson failed to get the all-clear. (Woodson broke his left collarbone during Super Bowl XLV, and this injury wasn't considered as severe as that one.)
"I wanted to come back Week 12, 13, 14, but the scans never gave us that confidence," Woodson said last week in an interview on the NFL Network. "So I didn't come back until the playoffs."
A year later, the Packers have been living without their quarterback and leader on offense instead of their defensive stalwart. Thanks to a 1-4-1 record while Rodgers has been sidelined by the fractured left collarbone he suffered against Chicago on Nov. 4 – two weeks further into the season than Woodson's injury – the Packers arrive at Week 15 of the NFL schedule at 6-6-1, a half-game behind NFC North co-leaders Detroit and Chicago at 7-6.
With a critical game at Dallas looming Sunday afternoon, Rodgers doesn't sound particularly optimistic about gaining medical clearance to play. His tone throughout his weekly radio show on 540 ESPN in Milwaukee, 100.5 ESPN in Madison and ESPNWisconsin.com Tuesday afternoon was as downtrodden as it has been since the injury.
Perhaps that's because he sees his timeline looking more and more like the one his old friend endured last season. Woodson's initial diagnosis had been that he'd miss six weeks; he ended up missing 10. Rodgers has now missed five.
"Charles and I are very close, and I saw the frustration in his face every week when he wanted to be out there," Rodgers said Tuesday. "He obviously does a lot more tackling and hitting than I'd be doing, but it was frustrating for him to not be out there with the guys. But we had the playoffs to look forward to with him coming back. We are at a different place going into Week 15 than we were last year."
That they are. Without Woodson, who missed nine games with the injury, the Packers still went 11-5 and won the NFC North title. Woodson returned for the team's NFC Wild Card Playoff victory over Minnesota, but the team's postseason run ended the following Saturday night with a dispiriting loss at San Francisco in the divisional round.
This year, the Packers are on the outskirts of the playoff picture. They can still win the NFC North, but even coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged after the team's embarrassing Thanksgiving Day loss to Detroit that winning out in the final four weeks was the only way to reach the postseason.
Based on what Rodgers said Tuesday – that he experienced unexpected pain last week during practice while doing simple drills, and that last week's CT scan did not show as much healing as he and McKenzie had hoped – he will be hard-pressed to be cleared in time for the Cowboys.
Rodgers will practice again on Wednesday, hoping for different results.
"I'm going to practice tomorrow and try to do some of the things I did last week without pain, see how my body responds to it on Thursday and take it from there," Rodgers said on Tuesday. "There's a lot of variables in this – with the scan being one of them.
"The scan last week did not show [as much] healing... like we wanted to. That, paired with the pain I experienced in practice, kept me out of the game. We would need a different results and different responses in order to go this week."
Rodgers didn't want to entertain the possibility that he won't show enough progress over the final three weeks of the season to be cleared to play again this year.
"I'm going to live in the day-to-day and focus on this week," Rodgers said. "Hopefully I'll respond the right way, the scan is going to look better and I can get back out there with the guys.
"It's a waiting game. I was trying to push and come back before science tells you is even possible. I don't think you're seeing anybody coming back at four or five weeks from this type of injury to do some of things I'd like to do back on the field. But it's tough to not be out there with the guys."
And that's exactly how Woodson felt as he continued to wait. Woodson, who in the same NFL Network interview advocated that the Packers shut Rodgers down if they're out of the playoff hunt before he returns, spoke during the playoffs last year about how difficult sitting out was. As excruciating as the pain in his collarbone had been, it hurt him even more not to play.
"Let me tell you something, man: That's the hardest thing for a guy like myself – to sit on the sideline and watch your team play. Win or lose, it's hard to watch," Woodson said. "(Being the) locker-room leader is great, it's a great title to have, but that ain't who I am. I'm a football player. I want guys to feel me on the field between the lines. For guys to speak of me in that way, man, I'll tell you, it's very humbling. But I'm a football player and I need to be out there.
"To watch your guys suit up in the locker room every Sunday, put the pads on, put their cleats on, everybody's amped up and ready to go play and you're sitting there – you want to be a part of it but you just don't feel a part of it. It's hard not being able to suit up."

Headlines (News Releases)
Laurier Toronto
Brittany Shaw named Outstanding Woman of Laurier
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Mar 8/11| For Immediate Release
Peter Baxter, Director, Athletics & Recreation
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public Affairs
WATERLOO Brittany Shaw has been named the 2011 Outstanding Woman of Laurier. Shaw, the co-captain of the Laurier swim team, received the award today during a luncheon at the Waterloo Inn Conference Hotel.
Brittany is a talented athlete, an excellent student and a committed volunteer, said Peter Baxter, Lauriers director of athletics and recreation. This event gives Laurier the opportunity to showcase our exceptional female student-athletes and how they inspire lives of leadership and purpose.
Shaw is a fourth-year biochemistry and biotechnology student from Kitchener, Ontario. She has been a member of the womens swim team since her first year at Laurier and became captain in her third year.
Im proud to be here representing Laurier women, not only as successful students, but also as successful athletes who somehow find time to volunteer in our community, said Shaw. Id like to thank my classmates and teammates. Together we represent a community at Laurier that strives for excellence.
Shaw accepted her award in front of more than 300 people attending the awards luncheon. Thirteen women competed for the prestigious award this year, including two who joined Shaw as finalists: Hanna Burnett and Samantha Schmalz.
Shaws greatest achievement on the swim team was in her third year, when she made four individual Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) national time standards. In 2010, she travelled to Egypt representing the World Lifesaving Championships and was selected for the national team.
In Shaws spare time, she is a coach with the Region of Waterloo (ROW) swim club and volunteers for the Special Olympics as a coach for their swimming program. She also volunteers for the Students Offering Support (SOS) organization, and recently travelled to Nicaragua with SOS to help build a school for an underprivileged community.
Laurier launched the Outstanding Women of Laurier award in 2006 to recognize female students who combine athletic and academic achievement with an active commitment to the community through volunteerism.
The event included a keynote address by Canadian figure skater and Olympic bronze medalist Joannie Rochettte, and was hosted by Laurier alumna Daiene Vernile, anchor and producer for CTV Southwestern Ontarios Provincewide.
This years event raised $20,000 to help support womens athletic initiatives, scholarships and the mentoring program at Laurier.

WRITTEN ON December 7th, 2005 BY Alex Morrison AND STORED IN Uncategorized
A couple of points to add to the debate.
Luckily these can now be much shorter than planned because Stefan M has taken so many of the words out of my mouth. I strongly endorse his points.
Para 18. Lists a number of measures that have been taken to address the failings of the past but there's no evidence that these have in fact worked. Experience with projects like the CSA and Job Centres seems to suggest that there are many many problems still remaining. Sorting out delivery failures might reasonably be taken as the number one priority.
Para 19. No mention here or elsewhere of the opportunity represented by outsourcing systems development work to the developing world. I wonder why not.
Generally – underlying the strategy is a model of service – the Government serving the individual citizen who lies back and enjoys his or her treatment. I'd like to suggest an alternative that would chime with comments elsewhere – suppose instead we thought about the purpose of all this being to empower people to get what they need to help themselves.
Two purposes are served by this switch a) it becomes clear who is/are really the agent(s) in the process and b) it reminds us that this is about people in networks of relationship not just individuals. My wife's tax return involves me and our accountant. My mother's stroke involves her whole family, friends and helpers etc…. Systems designed from this perspective would be truly helpful.
Even more generally – the document talks the talk of user choice and user engagement but there's no sign that the authors have taken their own medicine. What do people really think about Government and technology ? What do they need and what are the genuine priorities ? I'm not at all convinced by the thinking exposed by the document in its present state.
And finally is it just me or are the pictures on the front cover extremely creepy ?
One Response to "Comments on TG"
Where I live we have enjoyed 2.5 years of a Neighbourhood Management scheme. It's worked so well that residents want it to continue, but there is nothing but obstruction.
More residents signed in support of continuation than the majority of the winning candidate at the last local election, but the councillors won't even represent residents wishes to the rest of the council.

Friday, April 19: OB/HRM Speaker Series Presents Dr. Robert J. Bies
The Manager as Intuitive Politics: Blame Management in the Delivery of Bad News
Apr 18/13
Friday, April 19, 2013
10:00 - 11:30 am
For those who deliver the bad news, blame is a key concern. This paper presents a qualitative study of 106 managers who delivered bad news. From this qualitative data, a grounded theory of blame manage-ment in the delivery of bad news was developed. It was found that managers engage in a variety of blame management activities before, during, and after the delivery of bad news. Further, these blame man-agement activities serve four primary functions: influ-encing causal judgments, fulfilling social expectations, lessening the perceived severity of the outcome, and building commitment and support. The implications of these findings for blame management and the deliv-ery of bad news are discussed.

Highland board organizes
January 8, 2014 —
ELDRED, NY — As the snow fell on January 2, Highland officials gathered to organize for the new year.
Topping the agenda was Justice Anthony LaRuffa's administration of oaths of office for re-elected Councilman Scott Hallock, Highway Superintendent Tom Ebers and newly elected Councilman Jeff Haas.
Haas replaces Amanda Scully, who did not seek re-election last fall. Haas was named to chair the board's Youth and Park Development sub-committee, as a member of the board's buildings committee.
The board approved a budgeted officials compensation and wage scale that pays the supervisor $20,000, four board members $5,853.76 each, town clerk $29,561.28, highway superintendent $45,020.35; two town justices $11,746.82 each, sole assessor $31,507.70; and the attorney for the town $18,025.00.
A highway worker's contract scale wage from $20.42 to $22.75 was approved.
Contracts with the Yulan and Highland Lake fire departments, the American Legion Ambulance Service and the Sunshine Hall Library were confirmed.
Seventeen incumbents, including five constables, were reappointed to 22 part-time town positions. There were no changes in new appointments among those serving in various unpaid positions.
Other designations included The River Reporter and The Sullivan County Democrat as official newspapers and Thunder Country 102 and WSUL as official radio stations
The town's scheduling for 2014 includes town board meetings in work sessions as needed on the first Tuesday of the month, and regular meetings on the second Tuesday, both at 7 p.m. at the town hall.
The planning board, chaired by Barry Hafkin, meets at the hall on the first Wednesday at 7 p.m. and the zoning board of appeals, chaired by Larry Fishman, meets (as needed) on the third Thursday, at 7:30 p.m.

She was born at a normal, healthy weight of 7 pounds 13 ounces. She looks soo huge now. I don't really know what to do about it, or even if I should do something about it. I have a very hard time with her falling asleep, nursing is the only way she will. Is that maybe what is making her gain so much weight. She usually gains a pound and a half a month. Any suggestions or is there anyone out there with the same problem?

Best Uses
Make sure you get the right size because you don't want the rings near the pain area.The top leg velcro could be slimmer to help fasten the wrap around side velcro straps or put velcro over the non velcro area so the side straps could be fastened across the middle.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Simple to use and delivers real relief. A color other than black with orange lining would make it a bit more discrete, however.

I am doing and looking for surnames of Haig, Sachi, Schnell, Zerlangk, Willert, Tess, Baseler and Burg. Also anything in between for the family tree. I have been doing my family tree since May 30, 2000. It is very intersting to find out what is in the family tree and where they came from.
My ancestors came from Germany, England, Scotland, Switzerland, Prussia, Canada and Italy. They immegrated to the Untied States in the 1800's.
If you would like to leave a flower and a note on any of whom I had put into www.findagrave.com. It would be appreciated.
I have been looking on microfilm for death notices from the family tree.
I also have been taking photographs of grave sights from different cemeteries of my family members that has pastaway. Besides taking photographs of family members that passed away. I have been taking photographs of friends and a few famous people that did the City of Milwaukee good or for our country.
I also am getting cemetery records from different cemeteries that the family members are burried at.
I was born in West Allis, Wisconsin and have been raised in southeastern Wisconsin. Curently I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. My Father and Mother were born and raised in southeatern Wisconsin. Sadly to say that my father Patrick Thomas Haig has passed away on November 12, 1979 at the VA hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The other people that passed away were Charles Joseph Haig my grandfather that I am named after. Alphonse Christian Sachi, Anton Basil Sachi, Just to name a few.

Hope all is well. Spring is alive and well in California, so I'm back to finding, updating and linking my near and distant family.
Just added a new picture of John M Miller Jr to his memorial. I have a lot of additional information to add to John's memorial. If you can transfer his memorial to me I can update it as I did his mother, Margaret Jackson Whiting Miller, #10856438. I have a similar amount of information for John.
Let me know what works for you.
Thanks for all your help.

Thanks again for linking another Miller family member. As I go through their diary's, journals and manuscripts, I may ask for his transfer if I run across a lot of information that should be added to his biography. Still looking for the three "missing" children.
Thanks again,

Hope all is well this beautiful day after Thanksgiving. Thought I'd followup on an earlier request.
Katrina from Find A Grave headquarters transferred the misrouted memorial that went to an inactive account by accident a few weeks ago.
Margaret Jackson (Whiting)Miller, #10856438, has been updated. Thanks.
I'm asking to have her daughter, Caroline Kurtz Miller, #10856443, transferred to my care and maintenance. I'd like to add her story to her memorial.
Thanks for your help,

I have read many articles regarding using fennel to help increase supply.
Everything I have read about dosage was regarding tincture or tea, but I was wondering if anyone had a familiarity with the capsules. They are the only thing that I could find so I bought them, but I am not sure how much to take. The ones I got are 480mg per capsule.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Welcome to my kitchen!
During my six-year hiatus from the workforce, when my children were little, I served as a personal chef during the Masters tournament, developing gourmet menus to entertain corporate guests. In 1998 I re-entered the workforce and instead of working in journalism/public relations as I had before motherhood, I was given the opportunity to combine my passion for cooking with my journalism background. Since August of that year I have been the cooking columnist for The Augusta Chronicle. About a year later a wonderful opportunity came my way and I joined Viking Range Corporation as their On-Line Chef, developing recipes and menus for their Web site. I've authored two "Quick Cooking with Karin" cookbooks with Morris Communications (the owners of The Augusta Chronicle). And, (big fun here!) in the fall of 2008 I was selected to judge the Shrimp and Grits Throwdown with Bobby Flay for the Food Network (which originally aired March 18, 2009).
On top of those gigs, I also am the cooking correspondent for the Augusta ABC affiliate, WJBF NewsChannel 6. And, for a little added excitement, in 2005 I became the founding editor of Augusta Family Magazine, which is now a national Parenting Media Association award winner.
On a personal note, I've been married to my husband, Bond, since 1985 and we share our house (and lots of laughter and fun) with two busy teenagers.
Product and Cookbook Review Policy:
I am happy to receive cookbooks and gourmet products or ingredients for review and/or contest promotions on this blog. Submissions must be readily available in the United States. If you'd like your cookbook/product to be reviewed and used in a give-away I will ask that one book/product be sent to my shipping address and that give away cookbooks/products (preferably five) be sent to a separate address for distribution to winners.
If you send me something:
-There is no expectation of a post, review or mention on any site with which I am affiliated.
-If, for whatever reason, I decide not to write about your product, I am not expected to return it.
-The product is given to me "free and clear," without any actions required on my part, and is mine to do with as I please.
-Any post, review or mention:
-Will be based on my actual experience with the cookbook or product.
-Will not be submitted to your company for approval.
-Does not grant your company any claim to advertising or any other sort of "presence" on this blog or other places where my work appears.
-I will inform readers that the cookbook or product was sent to me, so they may evaluate my review accordingly.
-My permission must be granted prior to your reproducing (online or in print) any review or other article I have written, or any photographs I have taken of your product in any context.
Further, you agree not to add my name, address or email address to any mailing lists, or to sell or share this information with any other vendor.
If you agree to these policies and guidelines and wish to send your cookbook/product to me, please contact me by email, and I'll forward shipping address/es. (I'd like to acknowledge that I used verbage posted by Lydia Walshin of the Perfect Pantry blog in this product and review policy.)

Hey Karin, I am looking for the recipe that was in Augusta Chronicle either last Thursday or this past Sunday. I can't remember now when it ran, but it was a recipe with bacon, bacon drippings, cheese, sour creans I believe, and I can't find it anywhere. I think my hubby may have thrown it away by mistake. Would you please email me the recipe firstname.lastname@example.com. We are having our family reunion this weekend up in Thomson, and I sure would like to make that to take. It looked so good, and it would certainly be something different from chicken and ham. Thank you so much.

Hi fellow food bloggers!
After attending the foodblogforum last weekend, a couple of us decided it would be great to get together on a regular basis to talk about blogging, what's working, what's not and help each other out. It's a chance for great networking and we'll plan it around a meal. We're planning on having our first meeting Wed. Sept 22 at 10:00 at OK Cafe near I-75 and West Paces Ferry Road. Please let me know if you can come. Hope to see you there!

I am looking for a good enchilada recipe. I noticed some southwest flavor in some of your recipes. I made a good dish one night but cannot duplicate it quite the same. I used a mixture of enchilada sauce, cream of chicken soup and sour cream then added shredded rotissire chicken. That night we left over grits and no rice. SOO, i put them on top of the grits. I have not been able to duplicate it quite the same. Any ideas.

Tim, Here's a link to a popular enchilada recipe I ran in the Augusta Chronicle about 10 years ago. You can keep it mild by using mile enchilada sauce. This is one of the most popular recipes that has appeared in my column.
Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving!

Karin, I was wondering if you have any good beet recipes? To me, beets are like brussel sprouts. I have not liked either since I was a kid. I have tried brussel sprouts roasted recently and really liked them. The same is true for beets. In fact, my husband and myself find we are eating roasted beets a few times a week with a sourcream bacon drizzle over them. Just interested if you have any recipes to share with beets.

Hi Rebecca,
My apologies for such a delayed response. I have been a bad blogger of late!
Flash me an e-mail and I'll send you a fantastic recipe for Yellow Beet Salad. It has orange segments and herbs and it is absolutely delicious!
My e-mail is firstname.lastname@example.com.
