I have no idea how such a great open-source game as Teeworlds has been able to exist without me hearing about it until recently.
Teeworlds is a fast-paced realtime multiplayer shooter. You control a small "Tee" which can hold various weapons (hammer, gun, shotgun, laser-rifle, rocket launcher, ninja-sword) while running and jumping around frantically on the map, trying to frag as many other Tees as you can before you're killed by some other guy. Easy, eh?
There's are many game servers to choose from, as well as various game modes (death match, team death match, capfure the flag and some unofficial "mods"). You can join servers on the Internet, or create your own server, be it a public one or a LAN server.
Usually I would suggest apt-get install teeworlds, but for now the packages in unstable are an older 0.4.x version, whereas upstream released a much-improved 0.5.1 version. I have already filed a bug and I'm optimistic there'll be a new version in unstable soon.
In the mean-time however, you can manually build the game from source via:
$ apt-get install zlib-dev libsdl1.2-dev (maybe also libgl, libglu, and python, if not already installed) $ wget 'http://teeworlds.com/trac/bam/browser/releases/bam-0.2.0.zip?format=raw' -O bam-0.2.0.zip $ wget http://teeworlds.com/files/teeworlds-0.5.1-src.zip $ unzip bam-0.2.0.zip $ unzip teeworlds-0.5.1-src.zip $ cd bam-0.2.0 $ ./make_unix.sh $ cd ../teeworlds-0.5.1-src $ ../bam-0.2.0/src/bam release
$ ./teeworlds
You'll obviously need a working OpenGL/DRI setup (check if "glxinfo | grep direct" says "Yes"), otherwise the game will be way too slow. In case you experience graphics glitches and distortions, first exit the game, then:
$ vi ~/.teeworlds/settings.cfg
Change the "gfx_noclip 0" option there to "gfx_noclip 1" and restart the game.
If you use a local firewall as I do, you need to open at least ports 8300-8303 (UDP), even better 8300-8310 for more choice in game servers:
$ iptables -A OUTPUT -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 8300:8310 -j ACCEPT
Have fun!
my brother in law is programmer/game buff. he would go ballistic if he sees this.
This looks very cool. I am on vacation when I come back home I will download and check out.

A NASA Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image of the center of globular cluster M15 reveals anew population of about 15 very hot stars isolated at the core.
The most likely explanation for their existence is that they are the naked cores' of stars that have been stripped of their outer envelope of gas. This could only have happened if stars were so crowded together in the cluster's core they can gravitationally pull material form each other.
The image is approximately two light-years across. Most of the blues stars are concentrated within 0.5 light-years.
Hubble's discovery of such stars lends new weight to the notion that the evolution of a star can be affected in very crowded stellar conditions.
This stellar cannibalism could only take place where stars are so crowded together that chances for close encounters are exceptionally high. The blue stars are interpreted as evidence that the core of the star cluster has contracted to an extremely dense condition called "gravitational collapse."
M15 (15th object in the Messier Catalog) is located 30,000 light-years away in the constellation Pegasus, and it is visible to the naked eye as a hazy spot 1/3rd the diameter of the full moon.
Object Name: M15

What Healed My Dry & Chapped Lips: Estee Lauder Lip Conditioner SPF 15
In the past when it came to dry or chapped lips, I would turn to Vaseline petroleum jelly or lips balms like those from LipIce, The Body Shop and even Kiehl's.
Vaseline was my savior for protecting my lips from the extreme cold when I was in Korea during Winter one year. When you're cold and shivering with chapped lips, to heck with oily looking lips and dirty fingers! But in hot and humid climates like Singapore, Vaseline always left me with oily-looking lips and if left overnight, would coagulate into white blobs of slimy stuff on the lips. Not sexy. At all. I don't like carrying that bulky container around, nor do I like applying lip stuff with my finger.
Not even Kiehl's Lip Balm #1 SPF 4 managed to relieve my cracked lips. And I didn't like that I had to apply it with my finger too. It smelt nice though.
I prefer those that come in stick form, and can repair, calm and protect my lips from environmental aggressions.

October 3, 2012 —
During the comment period of the monthly meeting of the Damascus Township Board, resident Barbara Davis Dexter urged the township council to pay heed to the provisions of the Pennsylvania Department of Health Clean Indoor Air Act, which she suggests the council has been ignoring.
"The Clean Air Act, Act 27 of 2008, was signed into law on June 13, 2008," Davis Dexter said, reading from a copy of the law. "The legislation prohibits smoking in public places and workplaces and lists examples of what is considered a public place and a workplace. The bill allows for some exceptions.
"I am very allergic to such smoke," she said. "When I attended a meeting here a while ago, I could not stay in the room. I had to leave. Smoking was taking place in this building."
She had a copy of a violation report that any citizen can submit to the state Department of Health.
"If someone had the mindset to enforce this, it could be a penalty of up to $5,000 and a minimum of $250 per incident," she said. "I think you should take this seriously." The money for the penalty would be coming from the taxpayers, she said, not from the pockets of the smokers.
"It's in the employees' manual that is being adopted any day now," said Jeff Dexter, chairman of the township board.
"The department website says the law should be enforced in the workplace," she said. "It says that ash trays and other related smoking items must be removed from the workplace."
The act was passed in 2008, she said. "It should be enforced. I think it's time."
If some citizen wanted to make a stink, she said, the township could not afford the penalties. The penalty for not posting a "No Smoking" sign, for instance, is $250 to $1,000 per incident.
The chairman turned and pointed to a "No Smoking" sign that appeared on a bulletin board in the room.
There is a section of the law that discusses enforcement but does not spell out details, like who enforces it, how many are assigned to enforcement, what are the procedures for enforcement and how are penalties collected.
"A complaint should be filed by a citizen if the 'working garage' is an actual workplace," said Kathleen Gillis of the state Department of Health. The law applies to all workplaces, and a garage (such as an auto repair shop garage) is a workplace and must be fee of smoke."
The 1860 Wayne County Map
In other board action, the Damascus Historical Society presented a fully framed, large map of Wayne County that has an 1860 date on it from a mapping company in Philadelphia.
The map also has inserts of small scenes of various communities in the county.
"This is a local treasure that should be seen by the public," said Davis Dexter, president of the Damascus Historical Society. "We are not giving this to you, but asking that you hang it in your offices here."

DD is 3.5 months and I thought I was regulating until recently. Since day one I only nurse her on one side per feeding. I only offer the other if she seems unsatisfied. I have done this since all docs and nurses advised me. In the beginning I was pumping every day due to being engorged all the time. I had a large freezer stash that wasn't being used so I donated to a milk bank. I pump weaned about a month ago. Ok, enough background I think. My question is this...Starting last week when DD nurses she'll come off and I'll be spraying everywhere. And she chokes. It happens on both sides, but not all the time or everyday. I'm also getting engorged again. I'm afraid to pump and end up with too much again. Donating was a pain with all the paperwork, and pumping everyday sucked. So is this OALD or OS? And what about block feeding? How does that work? Since I feed on one side per feeding already.
Thanks if you kept up.

Sullivan waives solid waste fees for hurricane debris
November 7, 2012 —
At an emergency meeting, the Sullivan County Legislature voted to waive the solid waste fees at the transfer stations to accept storm debris waste associated with Hurricane Sandy, effective Monday, November 5 through Sunday, November 11. The waiver does not include normal household waste.
According to county manager David Fanslau, the damage to public infrastructure and individual property was extensive, and significant storm debris needs to be disposed of. Town and village governments, as well as the residents, may dispose of storm debris without being concerned with paying disposal fees. The cost associated with storm cleanup from Hurricane Sandy will be reimbursed by Federal Emergency Management Agency, pending a declaration by Governor Cuomo.
Further, Fanslau announced that ASB Greenworld located at 848 Lt. Brender Hwy. in the Town of Bethel will accept storm debris consisting of trees and brush, which will be converted into mulch for an environmentally friendly reuse. This would also avoid landfilling clean waste that could have a productive use."

actually three things:
1. I'm not sure how often you check these comments or if you'll see this before our next rehearsal, buuuut-
2. You have to be the only 12-year old in the world who appreciates Allen Ginsberg, and I'm so glad you do, because beat poetry/literature (On The Road!) is major cool beans, for lack of a better term
3. I guess someone made a really lo-fi recording of our set the other day, which can be downloaded heeere: http://www.zshare.net/audio/5637514750321814/

quote:California is seeing a dramatic increase in pertussis, or whooping cough, mirroring a national trend, state health officials announced Monday.
Through August of this year, four infants have died in the state and 1,276 cases have been reported.
During the same period last year, two infants had died and 450 cases were reported.
California has already surpassed last year's pertussis death and illness totals.
"Our concern is when young children get it," said Barbara Navolanic, nursing services director for Solano County. "The important thing is making sure that young children are up-to-date on their vaccines."
Once one of the most common childhood diseases, whooping cough is a highly contagious respiratory tract infection caused by the Bordetella pertussis bacteria. It is spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
The disease dropped off sharply in the United States after a vaccine became available in the 1940s. But since the 1980s, it has begun to rise again, although not coming close to previous numbers.
It remains a major health threat for children in developing countries.
At first, the symptoms seem similar to a common cold with a runny nose, sneezing and dry cough.
But the disease often progresses into severe coughing spells that may last for a minute or longer and tend to occur at night.
Between coughing fits, children often gasp for air with a high-pitched whooping sound, hence the term whooping cough. Not every infected person will make this sound, however.
The coughing spells can cause a child to turn blue in the face or vomit. The coughing may continue for several weeks, or even months.
One-fourth of infected children will develop pneumonia, making it difficult to breathe. Less often, the disease causes bleeding, swelling or inflammation of the brain, leading to seizures, mental retardation or death.
While people of any age can get pertussis, it is most serious for infants. One third of California cases this year have involved infants younger than 1. Eighty percent of those children needed hospitalization.
The four infants who died were all younger than 2 months old and had not had their first pertussis vaccination, said Celia Woodfill, an epidemiologist for the state immunization branch.
As part of the standard immunization schedule, federal officials recommend children have four doses of the diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis, or DTaP, vaccine at age 2 months, 4 months, 6 months and 12 to 15 months.
But it is possible to get the first dose as early as 6 weeks after birth, notes interim state health officer Dr. Howard Backer.
Immunity from the pertussis vaccination wanes over time. It provides little or no protection five to 10 years later. As a result, many older children and adults have little or no immunity and may spread the disease without realizing it.
"Often times, it's not recognized as pertussis in adults," Navolanic said. "It's not that simple to diagnose."
Mirroring the state trend, Contra Costa County has seen its reported cases jump, from 14 in 2002, 12 in 2003 and 12 in 2004, to 31 cases so far this year. There have been no deaths.
No one knows what drives the increase, but the disease tends to be cyclical, spiking every few years. The rising numbers may also be caused in part by better diagnostic tools and surveillance methods, said Sirlura Taylor, communicable disease program manager for Contra Costa County.
Alameda County saw its large increase a year earlier, with cases more than doubling between 2003 and 2004, rising from 37 to 84. Through June of this year, the county has had 45 cases.
"We've heightened the awareness among providers about the need to report," said Linda Frank, chief of disease surveillance for Alameda County. The disease may have been "grossly under-reported" in previous years, she added.
Solano County had 20 cases at this point last year. So far this year, it has had 17.
Once people are diagnosed, health officials in those three Bay Area counties attempt to identify those who may have come in close contact with the infected person.
A new pertussis vaccine booster shot is now available for teens and adults. It is recommended for children 11 to 18.
Next month, a national advisory committee will discuss whether to encourage some adults to get the booster shot as well.
"In other countries, it's recommended for parents of young infants," Woodfill said.
Sandy Kleffman is a general assignment and health reporter. Reach her at 925-943-8249 or email@example.com.
• Infants should receive four doses of the diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis, or DTaP, vaccination at ages 2 months, 4 months, 6 months and 12 or 15 months.
• Keep newborns away from people with coughs and colds.
• Quickly contact a physician if your child has prolonged coughing spells, turns red or blue followed by vomiting, or if coughing occurs with a whooping sound.
• Local health departments provide low-cost or free immunizations for children without health insurance.

Six Game Losing Streak…Done!
After a closed-door meeting on Thursday, where Buddy Black got a little heated, and some roster moves before the game, the Padres went out at home in front of a big crowd and got the job done.
Kevin Correia started, with his 0-3 record, and threw seven solid innings. He credits his vastly improved performance to pitching coach Darren Balsley, who helped him tweak his delivery. He allowed three runs, but two were because Brian Giles let a ball get out of his glove. The third was a home run to Joey Votto. Correia only walked two batters, and both were intentional. He was good, and definitely deserved the win. He was the first starter to win a game for 26 games.
Luke Gregerson threw 0.2 solid inning, and Heath Bell got a four-out save. Of course, he made it interesting in the ninth, allowing a hit. But he finished it with a strikeout, saving the Padres' first win since May 7th.
Adrian Gonzalez hit a solo homer in the first inning, giving him five games in a row that's hit a home run.
My boy Kouz hit a double to drive in our second run in the 6th. That guy is so beautiful.
The seventh was the big inning for us. Chris Burke hit a single, followed by a Drew Macias groundout that sent Burke to second. Brian Giles then singled to put Burke on second. Then David Eckstein came up to the plate. Hyun Young, you've got a great guy here🙂 He singled to drive in the tying run.
After a pitching change, Scott Hairston came to the plate and hit the first pitch right past his brother at third. The Padres got the go-ahead run!
Jody Gerut flew out to drive in one more, and the rest is history.
It's so crazy when we play the Reds because there's two Hairstons and two A.Gonzalezs!
The Hairstons look so similar, it's crazy! Seriously, I've even noticed that they have similar batting stances! I saw Jerry in one the video highlights from last night's game…wow.
It was an incredible game. Feels so great to have a win!
After the game, Buddy called all the players into the clubhouse for a bit of a ceremony. First, he presented everyone with their cell phones, which had been taken away from them on Wednesday.
Brian Giles fell to the ground, kissing his Blackberry. "Now I can finally call my mommy!"
Kouz grabbed his phone and tossed it into his locker.
Jake Peavy quickly switched on his iPhone, easily the most expensive phone of the bunch, and looked shocked as his phone beeped with every new message coming in. "Only 197 missed calls and 456 texts?"
Scott Hairston immediately called his brother in the other clubhouse. "You should have yourself when you were trying to catch that single I hit right past you! HAHAHAHAHA!! You didn't have a chance, bro!! HEHEHE, you were spread out flat on the ground…"
"Alright, guys," Buddy said. "It's time to welcome in the newest Padres."
Greg Burke, Joe Thatcher, and Josh Wilson sheepishly stepped forward.
Burke is in the majors for the first time. Thatcher…well, if you have read any of my stuff from last year or Spring Training, you know that I cannot stand him. The guy pitches really well in Triple-A, but whenever he gets up here, he falls apart. Wilson is our new shortstop.
"Welcome to Padres baseball!" yelled Nick Hundley.
"Uh, thanks Nick." Greg said.
"Now, boys," Jake started,"We're expectin' that ya'll will throw a lotta strikes and win us some ball games, okey dokey?"
Joe put his thumbs up. "Great. Will do!"
Jody Gerut glared at them. "You'd better. You have no idea how annoying it is for an outfielder to have to watch a pitcher walk guy after guy after guy."
Scotty, Chase, Brian, and Drew all groaned.
Everth Cabrera, with his hand in a cast, Luis Rodriguez, limping on crutches, and Chris Burke, perfectly healthy, stared at Josh.
"So, you're the fourth shortstop this year, eh?" Luis said.
"A word of advice," Everth said, "Don't punch a storage bin if you get frustrated."
David Eckstein walked over. "Hey, so you're the fourth shortstop I have to work with this year!"
Kouz walked over, looking perplexed. "Guys, I need some help. Do you think I should shave?"
Chris looked at his face closely. "Kouz, you barely have a shadow!"
Chase nodded. "And Kouz, Kaybee's coming to the game this Sunday, and you know how much she loves it when you've got a dark shadow."
Kouz nodded, flipping out his mirror and gazing at himself. "That's true. I wouldn't want to disappoint Kaybee! She might say something mean about me in her blog!"
All the guys agreed. "Definitely wouldn't want to do that!"
Well, Duaner Sanchez is gone, and Edwin Moreno went to Triple-A. I am so glad that Sanchez is gone!
Tonight is Josh Geer against Volquez. I'm really excited. I think this team can get something done tonight!
As you all know, I'm going to the game tomorrow! I am soooo excited!! It's going to be soooo much fun. I'll have a huge report up on Monday morning. It's going to be amazing to get out there and watch some Padres baseball, Peavy vs. Arroyo!! I can't wait!!
Well, today I'm going to watch two of my brothers' baseball games. It's going to be a lot of fun. Never can have too much baseball!

What a great win last night! Check out the conversations I made up🙂 It was really nice to see four brothers in one house. Our starter fot a win! Yay. Hopefully we can win another game if our boys continue to play like this. And yes. I should be proud of David! "Don't punch the storage chest." lol. But Greenie had a right reason to do so! Have fun at your brothers' games and go Padres!
Congrats on the win – and on breaking the losing streak! Have fun at the game tomorrow and take lots of pix.
Always entertaining to read! And thank you! Can you beat the Reds again please? I am deathly allergic to Cincinnati Red wins. That would be great, thanks! HahahaStephaniehttp://steponme.mlblogs.com
Duaner was never the same after the freaky auto accident he had in N.Y. Sorry he did not work out
So much for the "lowly" Padres as a couple of other Reds bloggers put it (not me!). Peavy was dominating yesterday. I thought Bud Black was going to pull him in the 9th when Jay Bruce came up with a runner on. It was nice the manager stuck with his starter.Russhttp://wight4256.mlblogs.com
Glad you got to see a win yesterday! And I see they won Saturday too – I guess the fear of having you write something mean must be doing the trick!🙂
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
I'm a Milwaukee Brewers fan, but while on vacation in San Diego took my son to see this game.
I rooted for the Padres since the Reds are division foes of the Brewers.
I thought PETCO was kinda plain for a new stadium, but it has it's highlights.
My son (7 years old) got two baseballs during the game and had an absolute blast. 1 ball was Joey Votto's HR in the top of the 6th.
All in all, I enjoyed PETCO and the Padres beating the Reds. kastandya

Comparing term and whole life insurance
Choosing the type of life insurance that's best for you depends a lot on your personal needs. Knowing why you're buying a life insurance policy can help you decide which kind of policy to purchase.
Basically, life insurance comes in two varieties: term life and whole life. Determining whether you want one type or the other or a combination of both is your first step.
Term life policies cover you for a certain number of years (the term) and pay a death benefit if you pass away during the policy's term. Term life insurance doesn't build cash value. If you outlive the term of the insurance, the policy lapses and no benefit is paid. Generally, term life insurance costs less than permanent life, although premiums may increase over time. If your main reason for buying life insurance is to ensure your family's financial wellbeing for a finite number of years—until your children are out of college for example—term life may be a good option.
There are several types of term life insurance. Annual renewable term is a one-year policy with a premium set for your age at that time. Level premium term has a death benefit and premium cost that remain the same and can be purchased in five-, 10-, 15-, 20-, 25-, 30- or 35-year terms. Mortgage life insurance is a type of term insurance featuring level premiums with the death benefit declining over time. The idea is to mirror the policy owner's mortgage value to pay the balance should the owner pass away.
Along with providing a death benefit, whole life insurance builds cash value. A whole life policy typically costs more than term life. The insurance company invests the premiums you pay and generates dividends that become part of the cash value. You can borrow against the cash value of your policy. Should you pass away before repaying the loan on an in-force whole life policy, the balance is subtracted from the benefit that is paid out.

Snoop Lion's 'Reincarnated' Documentary Has a New Trailer
By VICE Staff
Snoop Dogg went to Jamaica last year on a spiritual journey and ended up changing his name to Snoop Lion, immersing himself in Rastafari culture and recording a reggae album – a long way from being one of the figureheads of the most violent era in hip hop (hence the name of our film Reincarnated, duh). We followed him around with a camera as he did all that stuff, as well as checking out a weed farm on the side of a mountain and taking a look at the violence and police brutality that's been on the rise in certain areas since the exile of drug lord Chris "Coke" Dudus.
The full length film is coming out in February, but here's an extended theatrical trailer for now, featuring his latest release "Here Comes the King".

Earl Barron is as good or better than this guy. I could think of a worse signing but give me Earl please.
Hamed Haddadi is meeting with the New York Knicks on Friday to discuss a contract.
Hadaddi finished last season with the Phoenix Suns and appeared in a total of 30 games.
Hadaddi was recently MVP of FIBA Asia, averaging 18.8 points and 10.0 rebounds per game.

Earl Barron is as good or better than this guy. I could think of a worse signing but give me Earl please.
218cm but hasnt playing really alot games
lot time sitting on bench so if Knicks will get him i hope for some mins
even with his height he can score.
i hope someday Knicks will find some player from ex Yugoslavia
Per 36 Mins
13 RPG(almost 5 offensive rebounds per game)
Earl Barron
Barron's only advantage is that he's less foul prone. But that doesnt matter since Haddadi will play 10-15 minutes at most. He's a quality back up center and legit 7 footer.
This would be an excellent pick up.
Good signing.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
Offensively they seem to be a wash.
Hadaddi is more efficient from the floor and has a slight advantage in assists, while Barron is more efficient from the line and scores slightly more points overall.
Barron has more experience and proven chemistry with the team, and is better getting back on defense and making defensive rotations.
Hadaddi is a better rebounder and has a very compelling edge in blocks, a major Knick weakness.
I would prefer to see both in camp before choosing between them. However, there may be reasons to decide sooner. A lot also depends upon how Woodson uses the other bigs on the team.

He looks like a pretty big guy that is rough around the edges and can put his back up against the boards for post-up.
Toronto got rid of him asap, so I'm not really sure how good he is. As mentioned previously, his activity in Phoenix was limited.
i would start haddadi over tyson, tyson is a weak woman,
haddadi gives us a tough, smart baller who would never get handled by hibbert the way tyson got handled by hibbert,
I dont know about that .... Tyson Chandler beat Hibbert's Indiana Pacers in a double-header, blowing them out in both games when Amare played 30 minutes at PF each game.
During our 18-5 run, Tyson had no problem helping the Knicks outrebound, outscore the Indiana Pacers in every quarter for a 88-76 Knicks WIN having PF-Rasheed Wallace & C/F-Marcus Camby in the rotation.
Out of the 15 playoff teams in 2012-13 the Knicks putting Carmelo at the 4 spot for 40 minutes per-game could only beat the Bucks and a Rondoless Celtics team in a series. In the Knicks postseason games they did not have a PF in the rotation (Melo is not a PF). HC woody used Kenyon Martin as Tyson's backup, and excuse (DNP) Amare & Camby services in the postseason games.
please watch Pacers Playoffs Series 2013 again,
it looked like tyson was either high on drugs (marijuana) or throwing the games,l
pathetic display,
it's a disgrace that he will play in this uniform again, but he will, because dolan will make it so,
terrible, so terrible,

A Deeper Look Inside…John Grabow
In honor of being named #34 on the Latest Leaders list, why not pay tribute to the Buccos own 34, John Grabow.
John has been one of teh longest tenured current Pirates. Which is saying alot considering how fast the organization is known for shipping out their talent. At 30 years old he has been on the major league roster for the past 7 years. Over thos years he has posted winning records in 4 of them.
So far this season Grabow has been an asset out of the bullpen, just has he has throughout his career. He is number one on the depth chart and the go-to guy in tight relief situations. In the 2009 campaign he has a 3-0 record. He has had his share of miscues including giving up a hit in every inning of his 38 innings of work. His era could be better, as it is pretty much average at a mark of 3.49.
Although he has been in the organization since 1997, Grabow is as reserved as they come. He is looked to as a leader in clubhouse, even though he is relatively overlooked when it comes to being a fan favorite. He rarely speaks to the media and is not in the game long enough for the fans to get a grasp of what he is really doing. I guess that is the case with most relievers. Its hard to appreciate the work they really put in. They are only in the game for 1 maybe 2 innings, sometimes only 1 maybe 2 batters. Plus relievers are only noticed when they give up a big hit or home run. It may not be fair, but its the truth. TPeople in the stands expect the reliever to come in get a hold and set up the game for a win. They think its that simple. When the unepected comes the reliever is booed mercily. Its a hrad job and somebody has to do it. Grabow just happens to do it pretty well.
He has done it so well that he is almost always being corted by other teams. Grabow is always brought up in trade talks even though the Pirates may not have him on the block. This season more serious talks are being brought up. So far the Yankees and Twins have expressed interest in the Buc's go to guy. All bets are on that the trigger will be pulled and Grabow will be gone by the July 31st trade deadline. He will probably be shipped in a package deal along with another Pirate player, probably a current starter. Wherever Grabow lands up whether it be the Big Apple, Land of 10,000 Lakes or even here in the Steel City he will keep his rugged, always prepared approach.
Last night Grabow was a big part in the Pirates 6-3 win over the Astros. He came in for one inning of work and did not let up a run. Things got pretty shaky as he let up 3 hits and a walk. His 20 pitch inning was good enough to set the Pirates up for victory thanks to big games from Jack Wilson, Andrew McCutchen and Garret Jones.
Grabow's grit and hard work have landed him many accolades throughout his time in the league. The veteran left hander was on the World Baseball Classic team this past spring. He came out of the pen for USA and did a solid job. Just recently the Pirates put up one of his WBC jerseys up for auction.
Along with many other cool memorobilla pieces Grabow was front and center on PNC Park's main concourse. The auction was held to benefit Pirates charities. As I stood there drooling over these wonderful pieces my jaw dropped as well when I looked at the prices each was going for. Grabow's jersey had reached $800,far more than that Andy LaRoche jersey seen to the far left. It goes to show that Grabow is respected for what he has done on his time with the Pirates. I wish him the best wherever his career takes him.

You're bringin' Grabow back! Nice. Good to know there are some positives coming out of PNC these days.
I agree with you on the fact that relievers–especially those who are on one team for a long period of time–don't seem to get the recognition for what they do. As a Cubs fan, I can remember seeing Grabow come into many a Cubs/Pirates game to get the job done.
Nice post.
*Nice to see Grabow getting some props. He's definently a leader and has always been reliable. Great article man. (Stuff like this is beyond the realm of a 'blog.') I try to do the same, although I usually only touch on the Pirates once a week. (Not because they're not imporant to me,) – but because it's honestly tough to write about two teams every night! Check out my latest Pirates rant man:
Nice post, relievers and closers take a lot of grief from the fans when things don't go right, I guess they just get the brunt of the fans anger. I hope we see a lot of the Pitts relievers this weekend, not for any reason other than it means the starter is out of the game.🙂
Thanks for hitting my blog, by the way. Am around Dover, so it's Indians and Browns country, which not too many like when I fly the Phillies and Eagles flags.

Welcome to Philadelphia…. we hope your stay is a pleasant one, but a loosing one….LOL
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Yep, I too welcome you to Philly tonight. Hope your stay this weekend is all that we Phillies fans want it to be. =) Heh.
Nice piece, by the way.

Crab cake cook-off kickoff party this Thursday at PB Asian eatery Echo

The 2nd annual Palm Beaches Crab Cake Cook-off—a slam dunk given the popularity of crab cakes in and around Palm Beach (anything but jumbo lump crab need not apply)—doesn't take place until Nov. 2, but there's enough anticipation to warrant a kickoff cocktail soiree this week at a hotspot Asian restaurant in Palm Beach.

We Left our Mark at Isotopes Park
I have to say Albuquerque is a fun city with nice people. I also really enjoyed Isotopes Park. I can say this because after this weekend I officially own this Park.
The whole drive down from Nederland Colorado to Albuquerque I had a good feeling. Good things tend to happen when I have that good feeling .
Isotopes Park is a cool little AAA stadium which is home to the Albuquerque Isotopes. If you're a Simpsons fan you probably know the Simpsons live in Springfield and they have a baseball team named the Isotopes.
So Isotopes Park has a Simpsons theme.
The first game against the Mariners was on Friday at 5pm. I gave the Isotopes front office a jingle to find out what time they open the gates and I was told the park would open 2 1/2 hours early.
Opening that early would allow me to catch most of the Rockies and all of the Mariners batting practice and I like those odds. The extra BP time would end up being a good thing as I tied my own personal record for snagging baseballs in one game.
My total for the day was six baseballs. Of the six three were caught and three were snagged on the roll. The number of balls today wasn't really important. What was important was who hit the balls.
BP homer number one was hit by Ian Stewart and snagged as it rolling down the berm and was given away to a little boy.
Ball number two was also snagged on a roll and was smoothly handed off to another lucky little boy. That ball was hit by Todd Helton and was the first of Helton's BP homers I've ever been able to snag because I usually stand in left field.
Ball number three was caught on the bounce right by the outfield fence. Ryan Spilborghs hit this ball. Here's the video.
Ball number four was a monster hit from Jason Giambi and I caught it straight up. That ball landed in my glove a bit off the mesh and believe me my hand felt it.
Ball number five was a Ken Griffey Jr home run that I caught and Krista managed to get on video. Griffey wasn't out hitting for long and I didn't get his autograph.
Catching Griffey's BP homer was as cool as it gets for a ballhawk.
Here's the Ken Griffey Jr ball. It's perfect except for one bat mark. I have no idea who hit BP homer number six but it was snagged on the roll and given away to another lucky kid.
Here's video of a ball I caught and the dude in the white Rockies jersey(not me) knocked it out of my hand. He did that to several people throughout BP.
Some inexperienced ballhawks have no class. No worries, I have no problem letting them know just that 🙂
Robert got to experience the end result of a careless ballhawk himself. Although this guy made a pretty good catch, he was holding a bat and when he caught the ball he turned and the bat clocked Robert in the head.
Let's just say Robert wasn't happy.
Here's Robert and I as batting practice ended.
The Isotopes have their own beer and I thought it tasted pretty good.
Here's a shot of Robert, me, Jack and Kim chill'n on the grassy berm.
Good size crowd on the berm, all of them trying to snag a baseball.
Props go out to my wife Krista for the great pictures and video. The weather today reached a high of 50 degrees and by the sixth inning it was down right chilly.
I was with a group of four people and the group concencious was it was too damn cold to finish watching this game so we left in the sixth inning and at that point the Rockies were losing.
After the game Robert called me and told me I f'ked up by not staying. The final score wound up being an 11-11 tie.
Yeah..I was a bit upset, but that cold weather was giving me post-season flashbacks.
I can tell you that Isotopes Park of Albuquerque has never seen anyone the likes of me.
I was running up and down that grassy berm chasing baseballs making the local ballhawks look like chumps.
I went in there my first day and owned that ballpark.
Stay tuned for game two…Believe it or not it folks it gets better.

Very cool, D. And I'm not at all surprised that you owned Isotopes Park. 😀
I didn't get to see the first game, but did catch the 2nd. You were mid-screen after Hawper's HR. Of course. 😀
LUVMYROX-Hey Joy thanks for noticing🙂. The second game was even better, here's a clue…Jason Giambi…D
Hey D,
What an awesome start to the season!
Looks like you had a fantastic time in Albuquerque. If you get there next year maybe you can bring back some of the Isotopes beer to share🙂
Thanks for the first comment on my blog. You'll get a commemorative watch or something. I dig the Marge Simpson shot. Precious.
Sweet catch on the Griffey BP homer, man. That's awesome.
By the way, how do you embed videos on mlblogs? I've tried and it never works…not sure why. what's your secret?
TODD-Switch from rich text to none, then copy the embed code from your video, and paste it into your blog where you want it. Let me know if you need more help brotha.
SOXROCKER-I could use a watch…thx
R-LUV-Seems like they do the Albuquerque game once every couple of years so it may be a while🙂
LUVMYROX-I should have stood about 20 feet back and I'd have caught at least 3 homers…D

Hospital to take over Weld County paramedic service
- published_in
- Today's News
The county has had to write off about $11 million in unpaid bills the past three years related to its paramedic services, county officials said Tuesday. It collected only about 25 percent of its billable services last year.
"This past year, we almost got to the point where we had to subsidize the program for the first time ever," County Commissioner Sean Conway said. "It was clear that the current model could not be sustained."
Under the deal, the hospital would pay about $802,000 for the assets of the Weld County Paramedic Services. The deal will take effect May 7, so long as commissioners give it their final OK Monday. A yes vote is expected.
The county has been providing ambulance services in Weld since 1974.
Along with the problem of unpaid paramedic services bills, officials timed the move with President Obama's health care reforms. Conway explained that the law would discontinue Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements to the county for its ambulance services.
Beginning in 2014, only hospitals can receive Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements for those services, he said.
"If we continue to operate Weld County Paramedics under our current structure, we could be faced with not being able to get reimbursed for our current transports to hospitals," Conway said.
Conway also said that the transfer would take place regardless of whether the U.S. Supreme Court upholds the law.
Weld County communities will continue to receive high-quality emergency medical services, officials said.
The nonprofit Banner Health has no plans to raise the cost of emergency medical services for patients, said Jim Ferando, president of the company's Western Region.
Instead, Banner Health hopes to trim costs.
"It would be nice if we could carve out enough cost to reduce charges, but that will come over time," he said.
The paramedic service would take patients to the nearest hospital in life or death situations. If there's no such emergency, patients can chose what hospital they prefer.
County paramedic service employees will enjoy "more job security" with Banner Health than with the county, he said. The hospital will offer the 100 staffers jobs — including 50 part-timers — after the deal is approved.
Ferando was confident that Banner Health could turn the operation into a "break-even proposition."
"We're already used to writing off large sums of money," he said.
People can comment on the proposed deal at upcoming public meetings 9 a.m. Wednesday and Monday.

She normally poops every day, sometimes every two days. I think tomorrow will be the fourth day of her not going. She doesn't drink much water if I offer it. She doesn't eat a lot yet...I've only introduced banana, sweet potato, apple and rice cereal. Apple was the latest thing I've offered (I think this was her third day with it).
I guess my questions are: How long should I wait before I worry about her not pooping? And, should I try to introduce juice or prunes or something, or do I need to wait until she poops to see how she's doing with the apple?

A couple in their 60s ran a marathon every single day in 2013.
Janette Murray-Wakelin, 64, and Alan Murray, 68, finished their 365th consecutive marathon on Dec. 31 in Melbourne, Australia as their family and friends cheered them on. Then on Jan. 1, they ran their 366th consecutive marathon, which they say is a world record, but that has not yet been confirmed.
The couple, who maintain a raw, plant-based, vegan lifestyle, completed all the marathons to raise awareness and money for various charities, such as the Animals Australia and the Australian Paralympic Committee. According to their website, the main reason they ran the marathons was to "Inspire and motivate conscious lifestyle choices, to promote kindness and compassion for all living beings and to raise environmental awareness for a sustainable future."
They also wrote, "We are healthier, more physically fit and have unlimited energy at beyond 60 years of age than in our earlier years."

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
One thing for sure Kabuto is the biggest loser in the war and Madara did say only the Tail Beast can mach Him in power, translation only Naruto can face Him.
this chapter was too predictable. next we are going to see naruto group vs tobi & gedo mazou and probably sasuke and kabuto again ... oh ... and the ninjas being wtf for the reason edo's are disappearing
madara`s power is mind blowing, his attitude - AWESOME
itachi is a BOSS
sasuke was great in this chap, mature and all, unlike his stupid fanboys & haters
bye bye edo tensei
Kishi made madara sooo op that nothing actually beating him so i think madara also will be stopped
congrats!!!! way to have a blast!!!
i wud love to see naruto kick msadara's ass...naruto surpassing hashirama
A bunch of husky ass trees to act as shackles on Madaras big ass monster susanoo.
How many threads have u made lately?. But.gratz on kimi. Guess naruto clone lost to kimi again.
Originally Posted by itachi izanami

Yeah that would be epic, perfect susanoo with yata's mirror and sword of totsuka, however Itachi doesnt have the EMS and besides hes gone now
Where does it say Madara's Susano'o destroys all things?
Originally Posted by USSJ Future Trunks

the destruction that created the valley of end was the 9 tails TBB, reflected by hashirama
I'm happy he was back, but he was trolled away.
This was 14 pages of trolling shit. I'm really disgusted.
suuukeeeeeee.... pure epicness... salute Mr. Kishi...
Originally Posted by -Yusuke-

OMFG that would be the funniest sh^t ever
If Madara dissappears just after he starts shredding with his Final Susanoo i will be dissappointed . Troll'd Madara.
After watching madara's power i must say that hasirama is stronger than the so6p.

Also wondering what Itachi is trying to do now before leaving.... maybe implanting his visions of the truth about what happened during the Uchia massacre???
I was also thinking of this. Sasuke made it clear that he wanted Itachi to confirm if what Tobi and Danzou said were true. He wanted the truth.
And who wouldn't want to know the truth behind Uchiha massacre?
I don't think he'll go this easily but wasn't he summoned through Muu??? This maybe the reason why he won't disappear..............................
Originally Posted by MellowHype
14 pages and it takes a break next week. Lol, Kishi.. 3/5.
i know right? it is slightly aggravating that they keep coming out with these short chapters then have a break. didn't they just have a break? :shrug:

Today NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory announced the results of their study which shows Expanding Earth is false. Using GPS, satellite orbits, satellite laser ranging, and radio astronomy, NASA is convinced there is no significant change in the Earth's width at all. The only "change" measured equaled out to 0.004 inches (0.1 millimeters), which is well within the margin of error. This change (or margin of error), equaling a width of a human hair, would only account for 4.1 miles (6.6 kilometers) of growth/contraction in the last 65 million years.
|More than 4.1 miles is needed to change this to the Earth we know. Image from Celestial Matters.

My nighttime nursling son is 2.5 years old, and I've been sleeping with him on a futon in his room since he was, well, I don't recall how old! He still wakes at least three times a night to nurse.
My husband and I have decided it's finally time for me to get more than four hours' sleep in a row, and our plan is to switch beds -- that is, have Da-Da take over comfort duty and sleep on the futon with our son, while I sleep alone in the master bedroom.
(Of course we will give our son some preparation for this -- I plan to make a little story book with stick figures representing Mama, boobs, Da-Da, the sun going down and coming up...).
My question: Are there any words of support other moms, or even better, other dads, can provide for my husband to help him get through what we predict will be inevitable, prolonged bouts of crying?
We'd appreciate any success stories on Da-Da as comforter, particularly for weaning two-year-olds with good language skills.

No room for debate: Citing busy schedule, governor begs off most forumsBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | September 05,2012MONTPELIER Being governor is so much work, Peter Shumlin said Tuesday, that he wont have as much time as hed like to campaign for another term.
Thats the rationale being used by the first-term incumbent to defend a campaign schedule that includes fewer than half the number of debates he agreed to in 2010.
While Shumlin said he looks forward to spirited and vigorous campaigning against a worthy adversary, he said hell have room for only five or six debates between now and Election Day. He debated Republican Brian Dubie 13 times in 2010.
You have to draw the line somewhere, he said during a Statehouse news conference.
His comments drew pointed criticism from Republican challenger Randy Brock, who said he wanted to know: What is Peter Shumlin afraid of?
Shumlin said he wouldnt dignify Brocks question with a response. Brock said Shumlins refusal to sign on to more debates short-circuits the democratic process.
Vermonters deserve to hear and see up close the candidates for the highest state office, and they need to see them where they live, in the four corners of the state, so that they can ask their questions and hear their responses directly, without their questions being filtered through media outlets, Brock said.
Shumlin said the demands of the job mean he doesnt have as much time as hed like for campaigning and debates.
I work seven days a week, and I find that in those seven days I dont have enough time to do everything a governor should do, Shumlin said.
Unlike in 2010, he said, I am not just a candidate, I am a person who has to run a state.
Shumlins campaign manager, Alex MacLean, said last week that the governors re-election team opted to resolve the issue of limited time by engaging in debates run only by media organizations, and not special interest groups.
Shumlin has turned down one invitation to a debate hosted by AARP-Vermont and another co-hosted by the Vermont Natural Resources Council and Renewable Energy Vermont.
I have encouraged my campaign to accept and to schedule the debates that will get us the broadest coverage across Vermont, Shumlin said Tuesday.
However, he has agreed to participate in a forum at the VNRC-REV debate on Oct. 2. His willingness to appear at that event, Brock said, shows that Shumlins debate policy is more about political considerations than it is about his availability for campaign events.
He says hes too busy governing to have a campaign, and yet when we have an opportunity for a debate at something like the Vermont Natural Resources Council and Renewable Energy Vermont, he has time to come and make a speech but not time to engage in a debate? Brock said.
Brock said hes particularly troubled by Shumlins unwillingness to participate in the AARP debate, an event candidates for governor have attended in each of the last five election cycles. Brock said he suspects that AARPs hard line against the $21 million bailout provision in the merger this year of Green Mountain Power and Central Vermont Public Service has something to do with the snub. The Shumlin administration suffered considerable blowback for its support of the utilities payback plan.
But Vermont is the second-oldest state in the nation and there are 140,000 members in Vermont, Brock said. Dont they deserve a debate?
Eric Davis, professor emeritus of political science at Middlebury College, said political flaps over debates are nothing new. In 2006, for instance, then-Gov. James Douglas took heat from Democratic challenger Scudder Parker for refusing to debate 14 times.
Scudder said there should be one in every county, Davis said. And Douglas gave basically the same answer Shumlin is now I cant do that many debates and tend to my job as governor as well.
Davis said theres good reason that its always the incumbent seeking to limit debates and challengers pushing for more.
All of these challengers have been underfunded and have a challenge getting publicity, Davis said. Randy Brock doesnt have as much money as Peter Shumlin, so hes dependent on news coverage to get his message out about his campaign.
The first debate of the campaign comes Sept. 12, when Shumlin and Brock will field questions on the economy, energy and taxes on Vermont Public Radio at noon.
