"I'm learning a lot about women from having a cat," he said one morning earlier this week.
"Explain," I said, stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or hang up.
Turns out my brother's cat is teaching him to be more intuitive and to adapt his approach or retreat based on clues to her mood among other things. Skills he said are helping him talk to women and, well, people in general.
And I have to admit, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief — finally.
As a 30-something single guy who is very focused and driven in his art career, my brother's dating experience has at times been, to be blunt, awkward if not disastrous.
And it seems like the harder he works on his personal goals the more that area suffers.
When he said he wanted a pet, I was supportive of his desire to get a cat because, though a dog would of course be more macho, a cat fit his lifestyle better.
I knew the companionship would help with the isolation he sometimes experiences spending long hours in the studio, and frankly you can't really mess up that bad with a cat because they do a good job of looking out for themselves.
Though of course any animal takes an investment and every animal is unique, as a generally low-maintenance animal, cats don't need or even want constant attention.
What I didn't foresee was that his cat would turn into a relationship coach, though in hindsight it makes perfect sense.
For a sensitive guy who dives in at the deep end, an aloof and independent animal is the perfect guide.
You see a typical cat (there are, of course, exceptions) won't let you go overboard but won't let you stray too far either.
Squeeze too tight and you will pay dearly, most likely in blood. Forget or neglect them and they will trip you going down the stairs or you'll wake up to them sitting on your chest staring down at you.
When I asked a coworker, who is a cat-man turned dog-lover, if he thought women were like cats and men like dogs, as the popular myth goes, he disagreed and laughed.
Though he did wink and say cats are like women in the sense that everything is on their terms.
A female coworker, who incidentally is quite independent and aloof herself, said she'd take a dog over a cat any day because a dog you can control; a cat just does what it wants.
But rather than being a male/female, cat/dog thing, it seems that opposites attract, with those who appear to not need anyone wanting the slobbery kisses and eager shadow of a dog while those who are affectionate and desire interaction appear drawn to the mysterious detachment of a cat.
Perhaps my brother is on to something and there is an opportunity here to kill two birds with one stone by providing homes to animals and overcoming those dating disasters.
Step 1: Determine the human personality type you're drawn to.
Not necessarily your logical ideal, but the "type" you always end up with and be honest — needy, clingy, uninterested, distant, destructive, fickle, immature… Whatever the case may be.
Step 2: Go find that personality in a cat or dog that needs a good home.
Step 3: Make it work.
If this is the personality you are continually and catastrophically drawn to, here's a chance to figure it out without drama and having it held against you decades from now.
Worst case scenario: You figure out what not to do and give a critter a good home.
Best case scenario: Maybe you learn a little something about yourself and who knows, maybe realize you're better off hiking with the pooch than searching for Mr./Ms. Right.

Among the Hall of Fame ballot holdovers, Morris is the most likely to gain election. He wound up with 66.7 percent of the vote last year in his 13th year on the ballot. If he fails to reach the 75 percent plateau this time, next year will be his final attempt.
Morris was the winningest pitcher in the 1980s, going 162-119 for the Detroit Tigers during that decade. He wound up his 18-year career 254-186 with a 3.90 ERA, never finishing No. 1 or No. 2 on a Cy Young Award ballot.
Bagwell received 56 percent of the Hall of Fame vote last year, his second year of eligibility. He and Biggio were the faces of the Astros for years. Bagwell won the 1991 NL Rookie of the Year and the 1994 NL MVP, and he was a four-time All-Star. He batted .297 with a .408 on-base percentage, a .540 slugging percentage, 449 homers and 1,529 RBI in 15 major league seasons.

Getting a good bat isn't just about buying a nice model, it's also about how you look after it.
Use raw linseed oil or special bat oil. Apply a small amount of oil (about size of a 50p/inch in diameter) to the face of the bat and then work it in to the rest of the blade, edges, toe and back. But do not oil the splice area as this may soften the glue.
Keep the bat horizontal on its back for 24 hours. This will allow the oil to soak in. When it is dry remove any oil that hasn't soaked in – use fine sandpaper or scrape lightly with a sharp blade.
Repeat the process, but do not oil the back again. The bat is then ready for knocking-in and soon it'll be ready for its first game of cricket!
Do not over-oil. More bats are spoilt by over-oiling than by under-oiling. Over-oiling adds weight to the bat, deadens it and can even cause wood rot. Over-oiled bats take longer to be repaired, as they have to be dried out first.
Non-oil, coated or uncovered bats should not be oiled.
It's important to look after your equipment in sport, and knocking your cricket bat in is key. This is best done with a purpose-made bat mallet – either ball-on-handle or smooth wooden mallet.
The aim of knocking-in is to continue a process which began at the bat factory when the blade was pressed between heavy steel rollers; namely to compress the soft willow so that it better stands up to the impact of the smaller, harder ball.
There are no rules to how long you should knock-in your bat. Like walnut trees "the more you beat'em the better they bees". However, make sure you give the edges including the toe edge a good going over.
Then play the bat in gently in the nets. Bat defensively, concentrate on getting the ball in the middle of the bat, do not 'reach' for the ball outside the off stump and don't swing hard across the line.
If you're just getting into cricket, this website has loads of tips for watching and playing that great game!
There is only one sensible way of choosing a bat; pick it up. Mail order catalogues are no good, as every individual bat is unique. Dead weight is largely irrelevant (though we would recommend that adult players should avoid over-light bats, weighing say less than 21b. 4oz.). Pick up weight is everything.
The ideal bat should weigh a ton and pick up like a feather. An exaggeration, but illustrative of the point. A heavy bat gives more power or weight behind the shot. It is also less susceptible to splitting. But too heavy and it is unwieldy.
It is essential that youngsters should not use bats which are too big or too heavy as it interferes with their shot thus retarding their development and inhibiting their enjoyment of batting. Nevertheless, good bats are not cheap and we are sympathetic to parents who want to choose a bat that will "do" for a couple of seasons. It's all a question of good sense – and good advice. And many a player has made it to the Ashes starting with a humble bat.
A light bat is wieldier, which means that the hands holding the bat are able to respond more quickly to the message from the brain.
It hardly needs saying, but always choose English willow made by a reputable maker and sold to you by a knowledgeable cricket retailer who can offer you a good range to choose from. Also, willow bats look best in cricket pictures!
Covered bats: Bats, which are covered or coated, tend to be harder wearing. With a few exceptions they are cheaper as they are usually made of a lower grade willow. They can still play beautifully and are ideal for club and school bats or for the person who is maybe, a bowler who may only bat occasionally. They also do need oiling, though knocking-in is still recommended.

I would say its about 70% Amare 30% Riverside Ray.
Amare has more to prove because of the contract he has.
Ray has alot to prove because this is pretty much his last chance to shine in a starting role as a pg on a championship caliber team.
Who has more to prove this upcoming season?
Amare Stoudemire
Once the prince of NYC sports, STAT is coming off his worst year as a pro and needs to prove to this fanbase that he is worth the money being paid to him.
His previous back injury, the lockout, short training camp, condensed season and brother's death have all been well documented. However, this is a results-based city with high expectations, especially for a player who once proclaimed "NY is back". The arrival of Melo and birth of Linsanity has taken most of the spotlight off him (rightfully so) and has even caused questions about his ability to compete at a high level for 48 minutes.
STAT has been connecting with his fans tweeting and posting media all summer showing everyone how hard he's been working to come back better than ever. This is certainly great news, but then we get back to those two connecting words that mean so much around these parts... RESULTS-BASED.
Raymond Felton
Once the co-leader for a rejuvinated knicks squad, Felton has fallen from grace as a result of lack of motivation and fitness issues. Felton, with the help of STAT, became a top pg in the EC and showed everyone what he could do when allowed to be more agressive and free in the MDA system.
Being traded to Denver didn't sit well with Felton, plus going from starter to reserve made things worse. While the team was having success, Felton eventually lost his edge with the change of scenery and soon became an "average" pg again. The eventual trade to POR didn't help matters either as he constantly had issues with the coach, resulting in fluctuating minutes.
Felton is now back where he wants to be and plans to show everyone that he isn't a downgrade from the short lived Linsanity or an out of shape "average" pg who can only thrive in a fast pased system. Lin is a worldwide phenomenon and Felton has become the guy that replaced him, which is a tough spot to be in. This carries a lot of pressure even though Felton has way more experience and put up similar numbers in his previous stint with the Knicks.
Bottom line is Felton is young enough to get another valuable payday at the end of his contract. This will be his last opportunity to prove he can lead this ready-to-win-now Knicks team and convince the league that he is a true "above average" starting PG with all-star potential.
Real Talk
I would say its about 70% Amare 30% Riverside Ray.
Amare has more to prove because of the contract he has.
Ray has alot to prove because this is pretty much his last chance to shine in a starting role as a pg on a championship caliber team.
Damn I almost forgot good point on the Lin ****. People are gonna start yapping about Lin the second he has a bad game. Even though the guy was a turnover machine. As long as he is feeding Melo and Amare the assist should pile up. I look for him to also return with the same chip on his shoulder he had during the first run with the Knicks
I still think Felton is a scrub until he proves me wrong.
Key to success is Amare playing like a beast. Esp when he tried to fight the fire extinguisher. If he sucks this year. everyone will be calling for his head.
If Felton sucks everybody will just say "I told you so"
STAT, I don't think Felton has to prove anything.
We know what Felton is and he will do for us, anything extra is a great bonus.
STAT is the superstar coming off a disappointing season. STAT has to come in and dunk nuts on everyone.
Easily Stat...I can understand Rays situation, he was on a bum team and alotta players had their problems last year with the shortened season. Stat on the other hand was on a playoff last year and he had one of his worst years.
The day Carmelo Anthony arrived in New York the Knicks went back to its 2001 to 2009 Chaotic behaviour .. getting SWEEP in the first round with super-star Rice then super-star Marbury having one to many 23 win seasons.
The 2011-12 Knicks season with Carmelo Anthony getting the ball on every offensive possession started the season with a 8-15 record before getting injured .. Who saved the Knicks 2011-12 season from becoming a 23 win season? a product from the D.League who performance was labeled "Lin-Sanity" .. The Truth Hurts!!!
Now who is it that need the most improvement next season?
The career super-star who gets knocked out of the playoff in the first-round...
Yes, Melo was rubbish at the start of last season. I'll pay you that. But the circumstances surrounding NY's last 2 playoff exits were not in the team's favour. Blaming any one individual for that, or choosing to ignore that fact for the sake of pointing fingers is unfair.
Crazy.... I would probably respond the same as u did when someone blame one player for a teams poor performance .. but I played on some great teams that eventually added the Melo/Marbury type of player to the team which caused such a low morale in teammates effort to where teammates were coming-up with every excuse in the world to not come to practice, myself included. Some players could take all the fun out of playing basketball .. ThankGod we have trades.
Dont believe the hype, "one bad Apple can spoil the bunch", that is why in the medical field some peeps have to be quarrentine from others.
In November 2011 we did not need the Melo-trade we needed to add a starting SG, and Fire Dantoni in the process.
When the Denver Nuggets didnt lose one step, but gained an extra step in their playoff race after losing two super-stars Melo/Billups shouldve been a "RED-FLAG" for all Knicks Fans when we got swept in the first round by a no-center Boston Celtics, and the Denver Nuggets went 5 close games with the young dominating OKC Thunder in the post season.

GM Goes Government; Washington Nationals Should Consider the Same
General Motors is busted.
My dignity (whatever there was of it) is also busted.
And in case you haven't noticed, the 2009 Washington Nationals are most definitely busted.
Now I realize that it has become cliché hack to go after the lowly Natinals and all their shame — that by marauding these lesser-known squibs I am just one of many basement-confined jokesters, another savvyless cheapshotateer who gets off on landing lowblows wherever I can.
But that's me.
'Cuz when you're bad, you're bad; and the Washington Nationals are beyond bad.
With a sub-stellar 13-36 record as of the first of June, touting a team ERA of 5.69 and Kip Wells in the bullpen, I think it is time we US Americans seriously consider showing the Washington Nationals a big-time government bailout.
Because if Julian Tavarez can't save the Nationals, then who in the world can?
GM made crappy cars. For years, GM didn't listen to its consumers. Simply put, GM didn't care. They were/are insane: doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. And now GM is virtually as obsolete as their "planned obsolescence" business model: an absolute example of eating your own s*** and dying a terrible death.
Luckily, there is still hope for the Washington Nationals, albeit grim. Despite fielding a beer-league softball team, they are averaging about 21,000 people per game. And even if half of those fans are wearing the visiting teams' duds, that money is still green.
If the government knows anything, it knows how to take money from everyday Joes like us and spend it irresponsibly. So, save the franchise, Capitol Hill! I don't care about GM, but I do care about about the
Montreal Expos Washington Nationals and they deserve my tax dollars because let's face it, Adam Dunn has gotta eat (a lot).
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

I'm all for a bailout of the Nats! Maybe it is something that Bush & Cheney could do now – you know to fill all their free hours.
Can't we just give them back to the Canadians? The Blue Jays must get kind of lonely up there all by themselves.
Dillon — Definitely… though that rally against SF makes them look a bit above sub-stellar if only for a moment.
Julia — Bush, yes. Cheney? No. He's too busy fear mongering on the media circuit and that's a full-time job.
Erin — I don't think the Canadians want them either. And as long as the Jays continue to kill their own hopes and dreams, yes, it's pretty lonely.
Oh Washington Nationals. At least they have the consolation of knowing that they'll probably have a really good season before the Cubs win another World Series. It might be after I die of old age, but hey…it's better than 100+ years of epic fail.
Jen — Indeed. The Nats/Expos only have 40 years of fail, which isn't quite "epic" yet. Leave that to the sCrUBBIES.
The Natinals Stadium is 2 and 1/2 blocks away from where I work in an area that I call "Loserville"
There is nothing surrounding the stadium such as places to eat, drink, buy Nats crap, etc. They are such a joke.
At least the Expos were exciting and had good young players. The Nats are just a sorry bunch of losers who had their GM resign earlier in the year and just fired their pitching coach, who must have thought that they were in a coach pitch league!!!
Keep up the good work!
Aaaah, I'm finally back to the MLBlogosphere after a rather loooong absence. Btw, the "Natinals" are certainly something less than good.
I like the idea of Canada taking the Nats off our hands. It was their team to begin with, so why not become Expos again? As for GM, don't get me started or my fingers will start to spazz out as I type. Uh-oh63^*WIO*+@.
Ken — I was at Nationals Park a few weeks ago. The stadium was beautiful and they were in the process of building all of that stuff you said they don't have. It'll get there (not sure about the team though).
William — Welcome back!
Jane — How ironic, Jane! My nickname is high school was "63^*WIO*+@"… have you been digging up old files on me?
If my team weren't in the cellar and stumbling so badly I might, might, jump on the make funnies about the Nationals. However knowing humility I digress. Go Nats! Actually if they lose more I don't mind because the Rockies don't look as bad.
Tom — You'll always have 2007… well, sorta😉

Although essential oils have been used therapeutically for centuries, there is little published research on many of them. However, this is beginning to change as more scientific studies on essential oils are conducted around the world.
Clinical studies are currently underway in Europe, Australia, Japan, India, the United States, and Canada. Many of these studies describe the remarkable healing properties of various oils.
A significant body of research on essential oils has been conducted by the food, flavoring, cosmetics, and tobacco industries. They are most interested in the flavor, mood alteration, and preservative qualities of essential oils. Some of these companies have also conducted extensive research on the toxicity and safety of essential oils.
Although much of this research is proprietary and not generally available to consumers, some of it has made its way into cosmetic and plant product journals. These journals are important sources of information as we accumulate a growing body of knowledge on essential oils.
Most of the studies that have been published in the English language scientific literature have been conducted in laboratories and they have not been tested on humans, but this is changing.
There are some unique issues in conducting research on essential oils.
Research studies on essential oils show positive effects for a variety of health concerns including infections, pain, anxiety, depression, tumors, premenstrual syndrome, nausea, and many others. The resources on this page are meant to highlight a few examples.

- Abstract
- Three dimensional (3D) ion beam lithography (IBL) is used to directly pattern 3D photonic crystal (PhC) structures in crystalline titania. The process is maskless and direct write. The slanted pore 3D structures with pore diameters of 100 nm having aspect ratio of 8 were formed. It is shown that chemical enhancement of titania removal up to 5.2 times is possible in XeF2 gas for the closest nozzle-to-sample distance; the enhancement was ∼ 1.5 times for the actual 3D patterning due to a sample tilt. Tolerances of structural parameters and optimization of IBL processing required for the fabrication of PhCs with full photonic bandgap in visible spectral range in rutile are outlined. Application potential of 3D-IBL is discussed.

Vt. town hopes to save sagging covered bridgeBy DAVE GRAM
The Associated Press | August 05,2013AP PHOTO
The 140-year-old covered bridge owned by Arthur Elliott that has been closed to the public in Lyndonville might have to be torn down due to lack of funds to repair it.LYNDONVILLE — Where the Passumpsic River flows east to west on a meander around the northern end of the village, just downstream from a state highway's modern steel-and-concrete bridge, a bit of faded glory sags badly.
One of two heavy wooden timbers under the Sanborn Covered Bridge is broken; giant splinters look like they could separate completely at any time, sending the 120-foot-long structure tumbling into the stream.
Barriers and signs warning of the danger have been posted at both ends of the now-closed span, which had been popular with pedestrians in warmer months and snowmobilers in winter.
Owners Arthur and Jeanne Elliott, who kept the bridge and some surrounding acreage when they sold a neighboring motel and retired, say they don't have the money to do the repairs, which Arthur Elliott estimates would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
But whether any public money might be available to fix a privately owned bridge is uncertain.
"It reflects a whole different era," Elliott said of the span, which various accounts date to the 1860s or '70s. "Anything that reminds you of that is a good thing. It's also a masterpiece of engineering."
David Wright, president of the National Society for the Preservation of Covered Bridges, said the Sanborn Bridge is rare in two respects: It's among a small minority of about 750 covered bridges around the country that are in private hands. It's also of a design developed by New Hampshire bridge builder Peter Paddleford.
"If the Sanborn Bridge is saved, it will effectively be the last 19th-century Paddleford truss remaining in the state of Vermont," Wright said. "It's an important structure."
Joe Benning, a state senator and Lyndonville lawyer, has regular morning gatherings with local leaders at the nearby Freighthouse restaurant, which has a picture of the bridge being moved down Main Street in 1960 from its original location about 2 miles down the Passumpsic at the southern end of town.
Conversation around the table at the Freighthouse frequently focuses on the fate of the bridge: "Is the town willing to take it? Is the (Lyndonville) Historical Society willing to take it?" Benning said.
The question of whether the town could acquire and fix the bridge would have to be put before voters, which likely couldn't happen before Town Meeting Day in March, Selectboard Chairman David Dill said.
Meanwhile, the sag in the bridge has been getting worse by the week.
"It's in emergency mode," Benning said. "The powers that be have to be brought into place to get it stabilized."
The private Preservation Trust of Vermont might be able to provide a grant to cover part of the repair costs — up to $50,000, provided another entity could match it, said Eric Gilbertson, field service representative.
The bridge's open sides, wide eaves and arched portals at either end give the structure unusual grace, he added.
"It's a pretty bridge," he said. "The people that built bridges like this were really conscious of the design and beauty of what they were doing."
Wright plans to travel with a team including a bridge reconstruction expert to inspect the bridge Aug. 11.
If the span can be saved, the trust is prepared to step in and help organize and finance the project, Wright said.
The Elliotts would be pleased to see that happen.
"It's very close to my heart," Jeanne Elliott said. "My kids grew up at the motel. A lot of their childhood play centered around that bridge. Their initials are in that bridge."MORE IN Vermont News

Cespedes actually had his best season as a rookie in 2012 after defecting from Cuba and signing a four-year, $36 million deal with the Oakland A's. Now with the Red Sox, the outfielder already has imparted advice to Castillo, an outfielder who will soon be his teammate after finalizing a seven-year, $72.5 million contract over the weekend.
"I told him (Saturday), 'This is the same game. It's the same baseball,'" Cespedes said Sunday through translator Adrian Lorenzo after going 3-for-4 with an RBI in the Red Sox's eighth consecutive loss, 8-6 to the Seattle Mariners. "It may be a little better quality of baseball, but it's the same game. I told him, 'You don't have to try to be somebody you're not. Just be yourself and play the way you play, and you're going to do well.'"
Cespedes seems to have taken his own advice in making the move from the A's to the Red Sox.
Acquired in the July 31 blockbuster that sent ace lefty Jon Lester to Oakland, he is batting .259 with four homers with the Red Sox. Since the trade, he leads the team with 18 RBIs and has driven in 23 percent of the team's runs.
"He's had timely extra-base hits," manager John Farrell said. "He's put us ahead on a number of occasions. He's got strength, he's got bat speed, he's got plate coverage. He's put up quality at-bats a majority of the time for us."
The Red Sox are hopeful Castillo will play for them next month. And when he arrives, it will be helpful to have Cespedes -- "a tangible comrade," said Brodie Van Wagenen, Castillo's agent -- by his side.
"He's obviously a player I've admired for a long time," Castillo said through Lorenzo's translation. "I'm happy to be a member of the Red Sox with him."

Although Santa Claus, as Americans imagine Saint Nicholas, is making large inroads into Mexico due to cross-cultural exchanges via mass media and migration of legal and illegal immigrants, Christmas celebrations in Mexico outside Mexico City can still be considered mostly traditional. European and New Spain (mixture of European and Mesoamerican Indian) celebrations are found all over the country.
However, the Christmas tree first made its introduction in Mexico in the northern regions. It was in and around Monterrey, Mexico where German industrialist and others settled and brought along the tradition of the Christmas tree. Today, the Christmas tree is found throughout Mexico.

Pirates props across national media
On Saturday you could
for a 6-4 Pirates win over the Astros. But the real story takes place over the last 16 years.
For the past 16 years the Pirates have been on quite the skid. 16 straight losing seasons and bleak moments sure to come the past decade and a half has been depressing for baseball fans in the Burgh. The once proud franchise known as the Pittsburgh Pirates have turned into a laughing stock amongst all professional sports. With teams like the Red Sox and Yankees all over outlets such as ESPN, FOX Sports, Sports Illustrated, Sporting News etc, its hard for a small-market team like the Pirates to get the face time. Other small market teams have found their way into the niche ove rthe years. The A's and their money ball manager Billy Beane use their small ball tactics as a model for MLB success, the success of the Rays allowed them to break out of their dip in national attention. Teams like the Twins, Indians and Marlins have always been competitive and therefore are shown considerably on the national level.
The Bucs, not so much. I can't tell you the last time I've watched teh Pirates on ESPN. Actually, I can. It was this year and it was a complete fluke. There was a rain delay on a Tuesday night in Boston and the national TV audience was thrust into PNC Park for a brief live look in at the Pirates game. But I digress. The Pirates have never been on Sunday Night Baseball, TBS on Sunday or FOX on Saturday. While I am able to see every game on TV thanks to FSN Pittsburgh, it would just be cool to see neutral announcers broadcasting my team. It would also give baseball fans across the country to see that baseball in Pittsburgh does exist, and they actually have fans that cheer for the team. Once again I digress.
This week has been great in terms of national media exposure.
The Nate McLouth trade obviously allowed a throng of reporters and attention towards the Pirates. Its nice to see the Pirates mentioned with interviews with players, general managers and coaches all talking about the Pirates and analyzing the trade to a T. But prior to the trade Pittsburgh was put on the map.
The June 1st edition of ESPN magazine allowed a national audience to feel the pain we as Pirates fans have felt for way too long.
The article is called "That was then, this (sigh) is now" It's a great look at the struggles and future of the organization. The reporter did a great job of capturing all of the failed manuevers and stop-gap tactics that set the Pirates back further than needed to be. There are also interview blurbs with Pittsburgh residents, Neil Walker, the Director of Media and Reltions and Patty LaRoche, Andy and Adam's mom.
I just came across this acrticle today on the front page of the ESPN.com baseball section.
It is written by my favorite baseball personality Tim Kurkjian. Mr. Kurkjian is a hero of mine. I've read his book and enjoy his insight of the game. He is a good guy with a great personality. He pretty much does what I hope to do one day. I can only wish to be half the writer he is today.
Tim wrote a nice essay on Pirates pitcher Ross Ohlendorf. Ohlendorf is smarter than the average baseball player. He went to Princeton and excelled in the classroom. He used his Ivy League education and superb baseball skills to write a senior thesis that general managers would drool over. He analyzed draft results and team success and translated how certain players will fare in the major leagues. He really puts his brain to work on and off the field. How Kurkjian presents Ohlendorf to the national readers.
While the Pirates haven't gotten the pub for the overall success of the club its good to see these little things being covered.

Trust me – you do not want to have to suffer through listening to the announcers on Fox or ESPN call your game. When they do – most fans die a slow death. Give me everyone of my games on NESN please.
Haha…yeah, I have mixed thoughts about Beltran.
1. He spoke? I thought he was mute all of these years…
2. I suppose he could have been a little more professional…maybe…but…
3. The Mets have been politically correct and good little losers for a few years, now. I guess, I don't really mind what he said because it would do the entire team some good if someone got just a little **********…I actually blogged a bit about this…its just too bad that he didn't yell at the rest of the team…
4. I almost made it to Pittsburgh for a couple games in that series (good thing I didn't…haha), but I was going to tell you I was coming and see if you were going to go…

Rumour has it that Nvidia Corp. has managed to win a design with Lenovo to power large-screen netbooks with its GeForce 9400M core-logic that is also known as Nvidia Ion platform. The systems are projected to be available sometimes in the second quarter of the year.
Lenovo plans to launch 11.6" and 12.1" netbooks combining Intel Corp's Atom processor and Nvidia's Ion platform (GeForce 9400M chipset with integrated graphics) in the second quarter of this year, according to a Chinese-language Commercial Times report (parts of which were translated by DigiTimes web-site). Both mobile computers will be aimed at consumers and will be made by contract manufacturer Wistron.
In addition to the aforementioned netbooks, Lenovo also evaluates possibility to release a very inexpensive mobile computer based on Intel Atom and Nvidia Ion with 13" screen. Besides, Lenovo is rumoured to be planning a 12" netbook powered by platform from Via Technologies.
After recent shake-up in Lenovo, the company became increasing interested in creating innovative and highly-competitive computers aimed primarily at consumers as corporate segment, the stronghold of IBM's and now Lenovo's PC business, is cutting spending greatly. Meanwhile, consumers can be attracted by relatively low prices amid eye-catching feature-set.
Nvidia's GeForce 9400M core-logic and the Ion platform do have numerous advantages over Intel Corp.'s own chipsets for Intel Atom, in particular, Nvidia's solution supports DirectX 10 multimedia capabilities as well as hardware accelerated decoding and post-processing of high-definition video. Consumers will hardly play demanding video games or playback high-def video on their netbooks, but they will be attracted by the set of features.

West Virginia mine had history of safety problemsthe associated press | May 14,2014WHARTON, W.Va. Two miners who were killed on the job Monday night worked in a coalfield that had so many safety problems federal officials deemed it a pattern violator, a rare designation reserved for the industrys worst offenders.
Brody Mine No. 1 was one of only three mines last year to earn the label that regulators have put greater emphasis on since the 2010 Upper Big Branch explosion killed 29 miners about 10 miles away.
The designation subjects the mine to greater scrutiny from regulators, and its the strongest tool the Mine Safety and Health Administration has, said Kevin Stricklin, the agencys administrator of coal mine safety and health.
We just do not have the ability or authority to shut a mine just because it has so many violations, Stricklin told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Brody No. 1 is owned by a subsidiary of St. Louis-based Patriot Coal, which in its annual report last December blamed the problems on a previous owner and said it was vigorously contesting the designation.
The company said the workers were killed during a severe coal burst, where high-speed coal is shot at anyone in the way. The burst occurred as they were doing retreat mining, a risky method that involves yanking supporting pillars of coal from inside the mine and letting the roof collapse as miners and equipment work their way out.
Preliminarily, it looks like it was a rock outburst from the wall of the mine, which basically inundated the entries with coal and debris, said Stricklin. Thats what caused the two fatalities.
In August 2007, six miners doing retreat mining at Utahs Crandall Canyon died in a collapse and 10 days later, three rescue workers were killed in another cave-in.
In October, Brody No. 1 was one of three coal mines added to a Pattern of Violations list for repeatedly breaking federal health and safety regulations over the previous year. It was cited for 253 serious violations.
The designation is for operations that pose the greatest threat to workers lives. It also meant that if a federal inspector were to find another significant violation, an order would be issued to withdraw miners from a specific area, effectively ceasing operations until the problem is corrected there.
Asked for comment on its safety record, a Patriot Coal spokeswoman referred to the companys latest annual report. Patriots subsidiary purchased the mine Dec. 31, 2012.
But from April 1, 2013, to March 31 of this year, the mine was cited for 192 safety violations, including 33 for high or reckless disregard for miners health and safety.
It wasnt immediately clear whether any of the violations could have had anything to do with a coal burst.
Since January, six accidents have occurred at Brody No. 1, including one in which a miners finger was caught in machinery and a portion had to be amputated, according to online federal records.
Stricklin said that since October, the company was slapped with 69 violations that required at least partial closure of the mine each time.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration has taken several steps to improve its enforcement of safety regulations after the Upper Big Branch explosion, the worst U.S. coal mining disaster in 40 years. Among them: impact inspections of problem mines, such as Brody No. 1, and Rules to Live By.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

I have a 7 week old DD and I am getting extremely frustrated. It is driving me to tears because I am not sure what is causing it. I have watch latch video after latch video and can't seem to get it down. It seems like my latch is ok but my nipples are still sore and extremly sensitive. I have no cracks or bleeding they are just purple for about 10 to 15 minutes after I BF. I am wondering if anyone is familiar with blanching. From the symtoms(purple nipples, tingling in nipples after feeding or when cold) I have been researching and believe it is blanching or vascospasm.
Most recently she has been really fussy while nursing, I will take her off to burp her and she gets more mad and cries, usually happens more in the evening than during the day. I dont know if this is associated with it or not. I also have an oversupply of milk. My ped said I could feed twins.
When my LO comes off the boob in the first few minutes of BF there is a stream of milk shooting her in the face. It is almost like a water gun shooting her so I put that into a burp cloth and wait until it quits then I resume BFing. Any suggestions would be so much appreciated.

There are lots of rentals at Orbital Paintball which is why played pump there but, now that i have a semi agian I hate playing agianst rentals with a semi gun. Also Orbital does not have a speedball field which is another reason why I am not going there any more. But anyways back to the thread, i am looking for a new field to go to with a nice airball field, good competion,lots of people to play, and a nice envoriment. I live in Sarasota so, I can't go to CFP because it is to far away from me and have narrowed it down to Blitzkreig, Kohn, and West Coast Paintball. Just to inform you guys that if I do go to BLitzkreig I have to drive a hour to get there. So, just vote and leave a reason why to go to which field you pick, also if you have any recommendations of which field to go to please feel free to post that as well.
Blitzkreig vs Kohn vs Fierce aka West Coast paintball

Blitzkreig they have a membership there and its like $175 and you can play for 6 months for free. Also, there is a good proshop down the road from blitz called wicked sports tell them perry told you about them.
Posted 11 June 2012 - 09:05 PM
I would say that Blitz would be a great choice and also Fierce would be another good choice. Maybe visit both and see which is easier for you to get to. Both are about equal i would say.

Margate JCC
With a spectacular building that includes a state-of-the-art fitness center, two basketball courts, indoor and outdoor pools, early education classrooms, a teen lounge and an auditorium featuring a continuous stream of cultural events, it's well worth paying a visit to the Milton & Betty Katz Jewish Community Center during your next trip to the Jersey shore.
The JCC 'down the shore' dates back to 1911 when it first opened in Atlantic City as the YMHA. In 1927, the organization took its current name of the Jewish Community Center of Atlantic County. By 1959, a major population shift within the Jewish community saw the JCC move out of AC and into Margate. After four decades in operation, the JCC closed for two years to undergo a massive renovation, re-opening in its current form in late 2003.
While the JCC serves the many generations of its members with continuous, vibrant programming all year long, it is the summer months when the institution truly stands out as a major Jewish organization for the entire region. As folks who live in Greater Philadelphia flock to the shore from Memorial Day to Labor Day, the JCC offers summer family memberships in addition to a well-established camp program. More than 500 children ranging from 6 weeks to 18 years old participate in "Camp by the Sea" every year.
But there's no need to wait for summertime to check out the Katz JCC. Find out more about current programs and services on the JCC's website, Facebook page and CBTS Facebook page.

The Filibuster
Things seem a little topsy-turvy so far in the MLB playoffs. We still
have a long ways to go but I'm feeling a little confused as to who is
doing what and why. It helped me a little when I read Allen's playoff
preview but I still find myself wondering who will actually come out on
top. So, what do you think Jeff? And considering your Cardinals aren't
looking too good, I want to hear the truth, not your hopes.
Toledo, OH
Okay, Cheryl. It's the truth you want, is it? You want the truth? Ha!
Neither can I.
That's why I've been conducting a little research into one of my favorite adult beverages: Kalamazoo's very own Bell's Oberon beer. And this is what I've discovered:
It would take 17 bottles of Bell's/Kalamazoo Oberon to kill me
Created by Bar Stools
Either that or getting swept in the National League Division Series.
As I sip on this here 16th bottle, let me disclose *burp*… the er… um… *hiccup*… thissdsk is whaat I knoooow.
- Yankees… good
- Angels goooooooooooooder…
- Dodgers *hiccup*, er… I djslamurss… Padilla is uuuuuugly!!!
- Rockies… brrrrr… remember Dante Bichette?
So there… you *burp*, have it, Chhhhhheryl. Maybe it's not as *hiccup* articulified and edumacated as Mr. *burp* Krause's baseball-politico sex romp of an essay (ha! I allllmost wrote "Ese!" like "Hola vato! Que hay de nuevo!?")…
… but… er… it'll do. I'll sleep this off and be back to my normal, blathering, pedantic ssssself tomorrow.
Hate me 'cuz I'm schnnnnnockered, Cheryl, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm not Vicente "I AM FLOPSWEAT" Padilla.
Bottoms up,
15 Comments
Amazing you still have a sense of humor today…hmmm, maybe you've downed that 17th by now… couldn't help notice 2 of the Dodgers starting pitchers were Phillies cast off's…what were we thinking…sorry about that…:-)
I guess I should maybe order my Kalamazoo just in case…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Drowning your sorrows, Jeff? Probably a good idea. Sorry about the Cards, but these short series are insane. I'll start drinking as soon as I see Pavano take the mound for the Twins.
Jeff… what a great post bud… loved it. Sh** happens in those short series as Jane indicated. Best.
Look on the bright side: there's plenty of time to teach Yadier (Playoff Hero) Molina how to run the bases.
Sucks to see the Cardinals go down the way they did. I listened to TBS try an soften the blow, but I doubt it did much good.
Good luck drinking yourself under though, I'll order myself 3 dozen Budweisers just in case something happens to the Yankees…
Hope you're doing better, Jeff. I was thinking of you when I watched the Dodgers celebrate on the field. I had a feeling you'd fall into a deep depression. But hey, sh_t happens, like Buz said. Maybe 2010 will be the year for the Cards.
Hola ese,
I am glad you still have your sense of humor Was it the beer that made you speak Spanish or the site of Padilla?
Mañana es Un Nuevo Día
Cards gone in three. Sox gone in three. Hate the Yanks. Hate Los Anaheim. Indifferent towards the Phils. Indifferent towards the Rox.
Ok, time to feign interest in the NHL. I assume Allen pretends to follow the Red Wings, but what NHL team do you acknowledge the existence of, Jeff?
Peter — Better get the Oberon now (if ya can). It's seasonal and I think I bought all of it available here in the Chi😉
Jane — Yeah, Pavano did well… except for those two mistakes… se la vie. Congrats. Now get ready for an Angel beatin'.
Buz — That's baseball. Still hurts though.
Prince — Yadi was tryin' to do too much. Unlike him. Besides, he can do no wrong… you know why. I won't mention it again unless I HAVE to.
YHH — 3 dozen cases? I'd die just looking at that much.
Lisa — I'll get over it. Not the first time it's happened. Thanks for the concern though.
Emma — Si. Es la verdad. Y cuando su equipo es los Cardenales el futuro esta lleno de la esperanza.
Jonestein — Good question. Followed the Blues during my youth. I gave up on hockey in '05. The Blackhawks buzz last year drew me back in. It's a slow process… though I do have the Bears but no team has my heart quite like the Redbirds. *Tear*
Ted — Ya better hit the books then! This is the global century! LOL.
OMG, this might be the funniest thing you've ever written, Jeff. It's good to see you using humor to cope with your grief. I usually just get wasted and post expletive-filled rants on my blog.
Thanks, Erin. I try to stay sane… and by doing that I often go insane. Makes sense to me. The saddest part? No 1987 WS rematch.
Angels are gooder? On what criteria? Better first baseman? No. Better relief pitching? No. Better closer? No. Better second or third baseman? No. Better bench? No. Better starters? Maybe. Better outfield? Probably.
Sounds like the Yankees have the advantage. Boy are you off.
— NYColeman
NYColeman — Boy you take yourself WAY too seriously. Can't you tell by the tone of the above piece that this is a place to have fun and chide and just hang loose, dude? Why are you Yankees fans so rough around the edges? I can't wait to see how y'all react when you don't win the WS… again. Jeesh.

For some reason I enjoy Cinco De Mayo much more than St

Dos Equis tastes better than Guiness and nachos are better then bangers and mashReplyCancel

Historian David E. Hayes-Bautista says, "The Cinco de Mayo is not, in its origins, a Mexican holiday at all but rather an American one, created by Latinos in California in the middle of the 19th century."

As a Mexican here, let me just raise a glass to Corona company, here is to all Americans filling their coffers with money.
We do not celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Mexico like you do, we just get the day off work. It's an important battle, Battle

It's not Independence Day, it's not Revolutionary War Day. It's not "Celebrate our Mexicanness" Day either.
Corona just knows how to make money.

Since the Lame Video Post has Joel McHottieMcSluttypants, I thought I'd better bring up Book Club here. So nobody whines about OT. So, ladies and gents, sounded like Gone Girl was the most talked-about choice, but was a but tricky because of course it's nit actually a movie yet. Let's give it one more shot: either reply here or on the book club link on my profile, I'm throwing Fight Club into the ring. Awesome book / movie until aboot halfway through,then it went all Leto face-punchy and was still the best thing I've seen Brad Pitt.in, save Snatch.
Vote y'all!ReplyCancel
I love Fight Club the book and film. Chuck is a crazy morherfucker, I actually wrote to him when I was much younger and he sent me back a page long letter and about 20 little gifts along with it. Nice guy, twisted as fuck.
I am tossing Requiem for a Dream in the ring at some point. We need some of that literary A2AReplyCancel
That's a great idea, Lady H! I saw it, hated it and remember absolutely no A2A whatsoever, so I never get what everyone is talking aboutReplyCancel
According to Americans, dress as a Japanese/AfricanAmerican/… is racist and getting shitfaced in a Mexican/Irish party is a great celebration.

Voting for Gone Girl! The love/hate divide is something else and starts great conversations.
BUT if Fight Club is the winner, I'm all in! Great book, loved the movie, and the author is a trip.
Fun fact: the "Project Mayhem" club was based on the "Cacophony Society" (of which CP was a part of), which in turn had roots in San Francisco's Suicide Club.ReplyCancel
Also voting Gone Girl, but up for anything!ReplyCancel
I've actually READ gone girl! I could be in da club. Most of the books I read are by celebrities or like the new book by Babe Walker. I haven't started that one but the first one was funny.ReplyCancel

Typhoon survivor Carlos Agang lies on a stretcher after he was found alive Thursday.
Updated at 2 p.m. ET: NEW BATAAN, Philippines – Rescue workers found a 54-year-old man clinging to a boulder by a river – injured but alive – two days after a powerful typhoon ravaged the south of the Philippines.
At least 420 people were killed and nearly 400 are missing, The Associated Press reported Thursday, citing Philippines authorities.
All Carlos Agang had to eat was coconut and water until he was found in a tattered shirt with a fractured leg and bruises by a group of rescue volunteers in New Bataan town in Compostela Valley, the province worst hit by Typhoon Botha. Reuters initially reported he was 77, but later corrected his age.
"I can't believe it. I didn't expect to see people survive two days after they were swept by flood and mud," fire volunteer Mark Roman Jumilla told Reuters.
"For two days, he survived on coconut and water. He lost his family when floodwaters swept a temporary shelter area where he and his family sought refuge," Jumilla said.
Rescuers also found a pregnant woman on the other side of the river with her one-year son after escaping floods that swamped their house after Typhoon Bopha hit land on Tuesday.
"It happened so fast. Water came rushing to us while we were leaving our house to move to safer grounds," Lenlen Medrano, 23, told Reuters as she was being carried by soldiers in a stretcher.
"I prayed hard over and over until we found ourselves on the riverbank," she added.
A Reuters photographer saw four bodies near the spot where Agang was rescued. The river's current was strong, making it hard for rescue teams to reach other survivors.
'Entire families were washed away' as Typhoon Bopha hits
The death toll could rise further, with local government officials reporting hundreds missing.
An intense, powerful typhoon has cut across the Philippines triggering landslides and flash floods on the island of Mindanao. ITN's Jane Deith reports. Warning: The story contains some disturbing images.
PhotoBlog: Grief amid Bopha's destruction
About 20 typhoons hit the Philippines every year, often causing death and destruction. Almost exactly a year ago, Typhoon Washi killed 1,500 people in Mindanao.
Arturo "Arthur" Uy, governor of Compostela Valley, said search and rescue operations were continuing, particularly in far-flung areas in New Bataan town, where a three-year old child was plucked from under a crumpled house on Wednesday, more than 24 hours after the typhoon made landfall. The child's mother and a sibling are missing.
Erik De Castro / Reuters
Rescuers on Thursday evacuate a pregnant woman with her child who survived flooding in New Bataan, Philippines.
"I believe we can rescue more people," Uy told Reuters. "We evacuated people from riverbanks and shorelines. But the floods and strong winds battered not just the riverbanks but also places where residents were supposed to be safe."
A few residents in Compostela Valley started repairing their houses, but for majority, rebuilding will not be easy.
"I don't know what to do now," coconut farmer Roger Calarian told Reuters while queuing for a rice ration at the center of New Bataan town. "I lost my house, I lost my livelihood. I want to rebuild my hut but I don't think I have the energy to do that now."
Calarian said he and his wife were lucky to have survived when coconut trees crashed on their house on Tuesday. "We prayed, hugged each other until the winds calmed down, and then we crawled out to safety," he added.

Okay, sorry if this sounds stupid...my LO is 4 weeks old today and he is nursing and also get some formula and EBM supplements as well. We had issues with sore nipples and latching and we are still working on that. I'm hoping to wean him off the bottle supplements very soon. Anyway, my question is how exactly does an LO help build milk supply? I mean, I know the supply/demand thing and the more he nurses, the more I make. But the thing is...what if he wants 4 oz and my breasts are only making 3 oz right now. Do I just let him suck and suck and be frustrated and hungry? I've heard that it can take 24 hours or so for my body to catch up to his demand, so does he just have to go hungry in the meantime? That's the part that confuses me!
Incidentally, when he gets EBM or formula I also pump to keep my supply up and I'm also taking fenugreek. I'm just hoping we can get to the stage where I'm not hurting anymore, and I can meet all his milk needs. Thanks for the input!

"It happens almost every other night," says United Rental Truck Manager Conrad Feltro.
Despite a $2,000 dollar camera system and rearranging vehicles, Feltro says gas thieves are sucking their truck rental business dry.
"We tried parking them close together as close as we can, but they started to cut the lines underneath," he says. "When the prices went up that's when we started having all of these gas thefts."
And it's not just his business.
Enterprise Rental Car across the street is taking preventative measures by fixing holes in their fences and parking cars to block entrances.
And it?s not just happening in Hawaii.
As gas prices return to those record levels in 2008, another round of crime is hitting drivers nationwide; everything from cutting gas lines, to sophisticated operations, to traditional siphoning.
"We came out to get ready to take my kids to school and my gas cap was open and my lid was off," said Californian Terri Baird, who soon learned thieves had been siphoning gas from her car and her neighbor's too.
"It cost a lot of money for me to fill up my gas. I work hard for my money and it'd be nice if I could use my gas instead of somebody else taking it," she said.
This time around, some people are using special locking gas caps to deter thieves - potentially a great buy, especially for older cars, that don't have check valves in their filler necks.
It's a deterrent for some thieves, but not for the brazen ones, costing Feltro and his business big bucks.
"In addition to paying $60 dollars to fix each gas line, we're paying over four dollars per gallon now too," he says.

Jim Rome, Scott Ferrall to CBS: Can Sports Radio Drive Revenue?
Unlike other parts of your life, however, the sports radio habit tends to have very little impact on your investment thought processes and decisions. While you might take other everyday experiences under advisement when thinking about stocks, sports radio likely never enters as a factor.
That makes sense. It's small potatoes.
Consider some perspective.
CBS (CBS) owns all-sports WFAN in New York City, the nation's first and biggest sports radio station. In 2011, WFAN brought in $40.5 million dollars in advertising revenue, making it the ninth largest biller in radio across formats.
In its most recent annual report, CBS reported total revenue of more than $14.2 billion. Last quarter, it generated nearly $3.5 billion in sales. That makes WFAN a big fish in the small pond of radio and an even bigger fish in the even smaller pond of sports radio. Even so, "The Fan" accounted for less than 0.3% of CBS's total revenue.
No wonder why Mike Francesa can fall asleep on the air and get away with it. Nobody at corporate likely pays much attention.
I wonder if this dynamic could begin to change.
Disney (DIS) -owned ESPN operates a longstanding radio network alongside its other media properties, particularly television and online.
News Corp's (NWSA) Fox does the same.
In recent months, NBCUniversal (majority owner is Comcast (CMCSA) and CBS have put similar plans into motion. There's more still to come from both companies.
In network radio, ESPN Radio , Fox Sports Radio and NBC Sports Radio presently exist. CBS Sports Radio begins 24/7 programming on Jan. 2, 2013. Of course, all four have considerable local, regional and national presences in sports television as well as online.
As a contender to ESPN and Fox, CBS might be the most interesting case. Much of its lineup will clear the nation's top 50 radio markets thanks to CBS's properties and a partnership with Cumulus Media (CMLS) .
In recent weeks, CBS hired two of the nation's biggest sports radio personalities. Jim Rome left Clear Channel's (CCMO) Premiere Radio Networks and Scott Ferrall will join CBS after seven years at SiriusXM (SIRI) .
Rome already hosts a show for the CBS Sports Network, a cable television entity that, relative to ESPN and the NBC Sports Network , has limited penetration. Long ago, Rome made the transition from radio guy to multimedia personality.
With Rome's role expanded across platforms, it might make sense for CBS to do the same with Ferrall. He's certainly capable -- maybe more so than Rome -- and he appeals to younger audiences that often get left on the table in both radio and television.

Twitter with Delgado
Mlblogs verifies that this is Carlos Delgado's official Twitter feed, carlosdelgado21. He's not the most prolific updater, but I enjoyed June 3rd's "Nothing really
exciting about being hurt, most days are pretty slow and boring but
therapy is going well. Good spirits all the time!!" And June 2nd "Right at 2 weeks after surgery, recovery and rehab are going very well!!"
Keep letting us know how it goes, Carlos! I think good news about your rehab will be welcomed happily by all. Carlos himself counts among the Twitter feeds he follows, Danny Glover, Brooke Burke, the Zappos CEO, NPR, and–I do not kid–Wil Wheaton. Wil Wheaton?? Well, okay…
And so, by the way, I am also on the Twitter, @ZoeHelena. In truth I'm not a huge enthusiast, but feel free to follow if you like.
Mostly I'm waiting for the Delgado tweet that says "OMG you guyz, hip totally fine! Wherez my bat?!!"

The last I saw Carlos, he had shaved the goatee, and was rockin a new hairstyle–hair!
oh that reminds me i had a screenshot of him without the goatee to download. But I haven't seen the hair! Maybe he's growing it to be more like Wil.
Could be..I saw him on last week's Mets Weekly at that fundraiser (Richard's in CT). It was very short, but definitely not the clean shaven head we're so used to seeing.
