Customer Reviews
I bought this because this is close to or only slightly larger than the average penis length and girth, hoping it would work well for most partners' vaginas, and it's done just that. I've tried three different strap on dildos, and this is by far my favorite - I won't want to get another dildo until this breaks. I've never had a complaint that it was too big or too small, and every vagina-owner from first timer lesbians to penis-enthusiast experienced bi ladies loves it. The curve and softness are forgiving enough for haphazard use with a harness, but solid and angled enough for effective G-spot stimulation manually or with more skilled harness use. You can even invert it for g spot stimulation during doggy style. And with some creativity, the bulb can pretty much render more complicated dildo shapes redundant. The only dildo I've gotten my money's worth out of.
Tl;dr: Evolution's gotten some things right - this is average penis dimensions, so it works great for most vaginas. But it's unrealistic looking enough to sill be totally lesbian. The only strap on dildo I need.
I'm a 67-year-old man who has been impotent for about 20 years after prostate surgery. After many, many unsuccessful efforts to get sexual satisfaction from my penis, I decided to try anal play for the first time about three months ago. I purchased a Bullseye (and a Sidekick 1, reviewed elsewhere).
With no experience at all, I found this to be a terrifying toy at first, but that's the reaction of a total newbie. The second time I tried it, after learning just how much lube is "lots of lube," I got it inserted completely and, simply, I loved it. I had no idea that I would find anal play so satisfying, and that this toy would be perfect for my needs. I'm completely comfortable with it now and use it a few times a month. It has become my primary form of gratification.
This is a *great* toy.
This is my first dildo, and so far it feels amazing! Inserting the head is a little bit challenging, but very satisfying. I also found very pleasant to "ride" this dildo put on the edge of bath. Overall, I am having great orgasms with no effort.
I originally got this product for self-anal play. The bulbous head is very satisfying. The shaft is a great thickness. It feels good and makes the dildo easy to manipulate. I've also used it in strapon play with a partner and it works great there too. It feels solid and has proved to be durable and a good value.
Used this on my man last night for my first strap-on experience. Worked well, once we got past the super bulbous head. Got the job done though, hands down ;)
this thing was WAY bigger than i thought, the top of this dildo hurt going in and worse coming out
This was my first silicone dildo, and while it certainly is nicer than the other ones I've had, it didn't really hit the mark, as it were, in terms of the g-spot. The angle required was a bit too hard to keep up for any extended period.
Overall I'm happy with it, but I'll be looking elsewhere for a good g-spot toy.
I went with the description of this product that the diameter was 1 1/2", which is the diameter of the shaft, which would be perfect for me. However, the diameter of the larger bulbous head is significantly larger, too large for me. I'm terribly disappointed, and even though I tried it twice, it was painful going in, and painful coming out, and I wound up having to just throw it away, since there's no returns or refunds on silicon dildos.
I was wanting something just a little larger in circumference than the medium sized Silk Silicone Dildo, which I really like, but the exact same length. I'm a small woman, and larger than that is painful, and I'm all for feel good, not ouch.
My wife thoroughly enjoyed the Bullseye as it clearly hit the spot...she had an incredible orgasm. It was great for G-Spot Play. We had fun using it alongside the VixSkin Mustang. It will be a mainstay in our bedroom!
It's a nice size, and I like the pronounced head. The pearl color is beautiful, too -- it really is opalescent, with a blue-green glow. Gorgeous. I'm a little disappointed that the surface of the silicone isn't perfectly smooth; some patches are, but others have an almost rough texture, and it's rubbery in a way that picks up lint/cat hair/dust/etc like crazy. The G-spot stimulation is almost too much for me -- I could do with less of a curve, since the ridge of the head does plenty on its own. But overall, it's a nice non-representational dildo, not intimidatingly large but not too small either.
I haven't used it for anal play yet, and I'm a little concerned about whether that inconsistent texture will be bothersome. It's large enough that I'm going to have to work up to that, though!

Ornithogalum umbellatum
Ornithogalum umbellatum (Star-of-Bethlehem, Grass Lily, Nap-at-Noon, Eleven-o'clock Lady), is a perennial bulbous flowering plant, native throughout most of southern and central Europe (north to Austria and Belgium), and in northwestern Africa and southwestern Asia.[1] In North America, it has escaped its cultivation as a garden ornamental and can be found in many areas.[2]
This plant is perennial with bulbs below ground; the bulb is 15-25 mm long and 18-32 mm diameter. It has six to ten leaves, linear with a white line on upper surface, up to 30 cm long and 8 mm broad, and a scape of 10-30 cm. The flowers group in a corymbose raceme with 6-20 flowers, and are white with a green stripe outside.[3][4]
O. umbellatum require a lot of moisture during winter & spring, but tolerate summer droughtiness. It can be grown in the woodland garden. Semi-shade is preferable. It is hardy to hardiness zone 5, and can become weedy. The plant is toxic. Used in some herbal remedies.[5][6]

Grant and Per Diem Program
Grant and Per Diem Program
Important Information About the Grant and Per Diem Program Transformation
To continue to meet the evolving needs of homeless Veterans, the Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Program is changing. The transformation involves implementing a competitive, time-limited grant process that will require currently funded GPD community providers to reapply for funding so that GPD grantees are located where their services are needed most by homeless Veterans.
On this page:
Program Description
VA's Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program is offered annually (as funding permits) by the Department of Veterans Affairs Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) Programs to fund community agencies providing services to homeless Veterans. The purpose is to promote the development and provision of supportive housing and/or supportive services with the goal of helping homeless Veterans achieve residential stability, increase their skill levels and/or income, and obtain greater self-determination.
Only programs with supportive housing (up to 24 months) or service centers (offering services such as case management, education, crisis intervention, counseling, services targeted towards specialized populations including homeless women Veterans, etc.) are eligible for these funds. The program has two levels of funding: the Grant Component and the Per Diem Component.
Grants: Limit is 65% of the costs of construction, renovation, or acquisition of a building for use as service centers or transitional housing for homeless Veterans. Renovation of VA properties is allowed, acquiring VA properties is not. Recipients must obtain the matching 35% share from other sources. Grants may not be used for operational costs, including salaries.
Per Diem: Priority in awarding the Per Diem funds goes to the recipients of Grants. Non-Grant programs may apply for Per Diem under a separate announcement, when published in the Federal Register, announcing the funding for "Per Diem Only."
Operational costs, including salaries, may be funded by the Per Diem Component. For supportive housing, the maximum amount payable under the per diem is $45.79 per day per Veteran housed. Veterans in supportive housing may be asked to pay rent if it does not exceed 30% of the Veteran's monthly-adjusted income. In addition, "reasonable" fees may be charged for services not paid with Per Diem funds. The maximum hourly per diem rate for a service center not connected with supportive housing is 1/8 of the daily cost of care, not to exceed the current VA State Home rate for domiciliary care. Payment for a Veteran in a service center will not exceed 8 hours in any day.
Applications are not accepted for Capital Grants or "Per Diem Only" funding until the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) is published in the Federal Register. Funds will be awarded to programs determined to be the most qualified. The contact person for the Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program is Jeff Quarles. Mr. Quarles may be contacted (toll-free): 1-877-332-0334; E-mail: VA Grant and Per Diem Program. The Homeless programs are administered nationally by Lisa Pape, National Director, VHA Homeless Programs, VA Headquarters in Washington, D.C.

We're on the home stretch now, one week away from Election Day. That means campaigns are pulling out all the stops, desperate for every vote. For voters, that means more campaign calls, more campaign fliers and more candidates knocking at your door.
But, there's a simple way to stop the campaign onslaught.
"Get it done early," Spokane County Auditor Vicky Dalton said. "I'm a first-weekend voter. And only one campaign has called me."
Dalton isn't bragging; she doesn't have a secret way around the system. She knows all you have to do to stop the campaigns is vote.
That puts you on what's called a "matchback list." It's a daily record of whose ballots have come in. Campaigns get access to that list every day. They don't know who you voted for, just that you already did. If you're on that matchback list, you're likely off the list of potential voters kept by the campaigns.
"If they're calling potential voters, that's time and money being invested in that voter," Dalton explained. "So, if they don't need to call, it allows them to stretch their resources even farther."
That allows them to call and doorbell voters who may still be making up their minds. How fast does it work? Depends on the campaign.
"Some of the campaigns have become so sophisticated that the next day, the voters are off the list," Dalton said.
It's that easy. If you want the next week of your life to be campaign-call free, just make up your mind and get that ballot in the mail. As for those TV ads, well, you can't do much about that. And, they help keep our TV station on the air, so don't wish them away just yet

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
ok in my last thread we said witch we like best now im intrested in the one you like the least.
I like Itachi's MS and Kakashi's MS the most.
My least favourite is Shisui's MS design.
hmm.. shisui and sasuke's i guess
shusuis is the worst itrachis is the best
sasukes ems and ms were the worst for me. when his ms was revealed you basically knew what his ems design would be
Favorite ms: Madara
Least favorite ms: shisui
Best: Madara's EMS
Worst: Izuna's MS, it looks plain and shit
i defenately dislike shsui's but my fav is madaras
Originally Posted by Shunsin no Shisui

i can relate to that thats why i hate shisui's

Shisui's is actually not that bad. Atleast it's an image of a buzzsaw which possibly has a meaning behind it such as - the genjutsu sawing the victims mind apart(ever heard of the magic tricks where they 'saw someone in half'?). It obviously isn't real but just an illusion like a genjutsu. Shisui's sharingan was also easy to tranform from 3 tomoe to the buzzsaw form when his MS activated. Whereas, Izuna's is basic, simple and probably has no meaning behind it. The one who created it just couldn't be bothered to make a good job of developing it.

White House Completes Review for Black Boxes in Automobiles
Tiffany Kaiser

Sender E-mail
(Source: saferautomobiles.com)
The NHTSA is now preparing to finalize the regulation
The White House has finished its review of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) proposal to
mandate event data recorders
(EDR) in all new vehicles.
Now that the White House Office of Management Budget has completed the review, the NHTSA is preparing to finalize the regulation. The proposal suggests increasing the number of new vehicles with EDRs from 91.6 percent today to 100 percent of light-duty cars and trucks.
Event data recorders, also known as "black boxes," collect driver data such as speed, use of a seatbelt, whether brakes were applied, etc. before and after a vehicle crash. The idea behind them is to deploy better safety measures for vehicles as well as better overall vehicle design.
The NHTSA originally said it'd create a proposal for the White House concerning EDR regulation by the end of 2011. After doing so, the White House Office of Management Budget delayed comment or review for a year.
Back in August of this year, the NHTSA
rejected the White House's request
for further delay of the black box standards.
Some automakers already place EDRs in all of their vehicles, such as Ford, General Motors Mazda and Toyota.
The road to EDR regulation hasn't been all smooth, though. The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, which includes Toyota, Volkswagen AG and Detroit's Big Three, had issues with both driver privacy and the
cost of these black boxes
The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers complained in May 2010 that the black boxes suggested by the government were too expensive to deploy in all vehicles. Further, it stated that EDRs could potentially be abused by the government.
"Event data recorders help our engineers understand how cars perform in the real world but looking forward, we need to make sure we preserve privacy," said Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers spokeswoman Gloria Bergquist. "Automakers do not access EDR data without consumer permission, and any government requirements to install EDRs on all vehicles must include steps to protect consumer privacy."
In April of this year, the U.S. Senate passed a highway bill called the "Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act", also known as MAP21. The bill aimed to require all new 2015 model year vehicles to have black boxes for record vehicle data.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the My Brest Friend Pillow! In fact, I have a boppy from DD1. But, I seen the My Brest Friend pillow on 19 kids and counting, I figured if she nursed 19 kids and thought it was a good pillow (she said some one suggested it to her after it came out) it was worth trying out. To be honest, I didn't like the boppy for nursing, and with my back problems (I've had two back surgeries) I was skeptical if I would really like it or not. But, I went ahead and bought it. Because of my skepticism I didn't get it out of the package and try it for at least a month! I finally did, and I LOVE it! So much so I saved up money to buy a second one for the car! It's awesome!
Oh and I almost forgot actually the hospital I had DD's at had the My Brest Friend pillow to use if you wanted, but I was so skeptical I didn't even try it at the hospital! I wish I had! Other mom's were though and really liked it!
That being said, I never got DD1 to nurse, I had to EP (pump) for 2 1/2 years. I so wanted the next one to nurse, I did a lot of research before having DD2. I like both The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding, and Breastfeeding Made Simple: Seven Natural Laws for Nursing Mothers, at the cost of being boo'd out of this board, I will say, I think I almost like Breastfeeding Made Simple a bit better then the Womanly Art of Breastfeeding. Both though I loved reading and were hard to put down. Both easy and fun reads. I tried to read another book that was at babies r us on breast feeding and it was so much medical jargon (even though I'm a very sciency, medical knowledgeable person!) it was rather boring, and ho-hum and didn't really keep my interest.
However, The Breastfeeding Mother's Guide to Making More Milk, even though very much talks about all the medical/science parts of making milk and breast feeding, it too was a FUN and easy read, what I read of it. (unlike the one I seen at BRU).
So I would highly suggest getting those three books and reading them before going in this time.
I was so desperate to be successful this time, I was reading every thing, and ready to do anything! But, those three, I think are really helpful!

All Averages Are Not Created Equal
Turn to any listing of mutual fund returns, or even stocks, and you will likely see a "summary" of those results, referred to as the "average" return. For example, a listing of mutual funds in a particular category may show the average return for the fund in that category. A different listing may show a particular fund's returns for each of the last five years, and an average annual return over that five-year period.
Many individuals assume those averages are all calculated in the same way. In fact, they are not.
The dictionary definition of an average is: A single value that summarizes or represents the general significance of a set of unequal values. But there are a number of different ways to present a "summary" of values, depending on what you are seeking to measure.
What are the different "averages," and how are they calculated?
Arithmetic Average
Most people are familiar with the arithmetic average. This is the simple method you learned in school, which adds up all of the numbers in the list, and then divides by the number of listings.
For example, let's assume you are looking at five mutual funds in a particular category with the following returns:
15%, 10%, 8%, 9% and 5%.
The simple average adds up all of those returns, for a total of 47, then divides by 5, for an average return among these funds of 9.4%.
The arithmetic average is used to summarize a simple list of returns that are independent of each other. If you are summarizing the returns of all of the mutual funds in a particular category, a simple average provides a return that is typical for that category.
Geometric Average
The picture becomes more complex when the returns you are attempting to summarize do impact each other. Returns that you earn in one year are carried over in the next year through compounding.
For example, let's assume you started with $1,000 in a particular fund, and over five years earned the following returns: 10% in year 1; 15% in year 2; 12% in year 3; 0.02% in year 4 and –30% in year 5. You would end up with $993.74.
What is your average annual return?
If you used the arithmetic average described above, you would add up all of the returns, for a total of 7.2, then divide by 5, for an average return of 1.4%.
But your ending amount—$993.74—is a loss compared to your original investment. Does that feel to you like a 1.4% average annual rate of return?
Arithmetic averages do not take into account the effects of compounding, and as a result, they overstate the real returns to an investor.
An investor's actual average return is a compounded average, also referred to as the geometric average.
To calculate the geometric average (you will need a financial calculator), you take the return in decimal form (10% is 0.10) and add 1 to it; then multiply all the numbers together; then take the nth root of the result [where n is the number of years; the nth root is the number that, if you multiply it by itself for n times, you achieve the result—for instance, 3 is the nth root of 9 over 2 periods]; subtract 1 from the result and then multiply by 100 and you have the average annual return for the period covered. In this instance, it is an average annual loss of 0.13%. [See the box on the following page for the calculations.]
Weighted Average
A weighted average provides a useful summary of returns if you want to emphasize certain returns above other returns.
Why would you want to do this?
Let's assume you have invested in the five mutual funds with the same performance that we used in the first example. However, let's also assume you have 60% of your assets invested in the fund that received the 15% returns, and you have 10% of your assets in each of four funds that earn the remaining returns.
Since you have most of your funds in the highest-earning fund, the impact of that fund's return on your own portfolio is higher.
To summarize the real impact on your portfolio of these five funds, you could calculate a weighted return by simply multiplying each return by the weighting (in this case, the percentage of assets in each fund), and then adding up the results. [You could, of course, also determine an actual return for your portfolio.]
Using the Averages
You don't necessarily need to calculate all of these averages on your own, but the ambiguity of the term can lead to confusion. It helps to have an understanding of the differences in what they represent and how they are calculated.
And if you are embarrassed to admit that you doubled your money (100% each year) two years in a row and then lost everything (–100%), just say you earned a 50% "average" return.
Calculating Averages
Arithmetic Average
[10% + 15%+ 12% + 0.2%+ (–30%)] ÷ 5 = 7.2% ÷ 5 = 1.4%
Geometric Average
[1.10 × 1.15 × 1.12 × 1.002 × (1 – 0.3)]1/5 – 1 = 0.9987 – 1 = –0.0013 = –0.13%
Weighted Average
Assuming returns of 15% (weighted 60%), and 10%, 8%, 9% and 5% (each weighted 10%):
[15% × (0.60)] + [10% × (0.10)] + [8% × (0.10)] + [9% × (0.10)] + [5% × (0.10)] = [9 + 1 + 0.8 + 0.9 + 0.5] = 12.2%

NuMat Technologies, Inc.
NuMat Technologies, Inc is a cleantech spin-out that computationally designs and synthesizes high performing nanomaterials for gas storage and separation applications.
NuMat is commercializing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a new kind of nanoporous material that will change how the world stores, transports, and separates gases. Because molecules of gas stick strongly to the surface of their pores, MOFs soak up gases, just like a bath sponge soaks up water. MOFs are inexpensive, simple to manufacture, and can be custom designed at the atomic level for specific applications.
NuMat has developed MOFs that enable the production of low-pressure Adsorbed Natural Gas fuel tanks for natural gas vehicles that are cheaper, safer, and have higher capacity than existing high-pressure Compressed Natural Gas tanks. For example, our MOFs can store the equivalent amount of natural gas, but at one-fifth the pressure—fundamentally changing the economics of natural gas vehicles and supporting the gradual displacement of foreign oil.
NuMat is the Grand Prize Winner of the Clean Energy Trust Challenge (sponsored by the Energy Department) and the recipient of the Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers CleanTech Innovation Prize.
Radiator Labs developed a low-cost, easily installed radiator retrofit that converts radiator heating systems into a controlled-zoned system, which significantly increases the efficiency of radiator heating while improving occupant comfort.
Mesdi Systems developed revolutionary equipment for manufacturing lithium-ion batteries, solar cells, and other high precision products that will improve their performance and lifetime with advanced coatings and quality control.
SolidEnergy Systems developed cutting-edge battery technologies to meet the world's growing energy storage demand. The Polymer Ionic Liquid (PIL) rechargeable lithium battery has four times the energy density of a conventional lithium-ion battery.
The Stanford Nitrogen Group developed a new wastewater treatment process, termed "CANDO", for the removal and recovery of energy from waste nitrogen. The CANDO technology improves the efficiency of nitrogen treatment by lowering energy inputs and enabling energy recovery from waste nitrogen.
Navillum Nanotechnologies developed a process to fabricate quantum dots and other types of semiconducting nanocrystals. When used in liquid crystal displays (LCD), quantum dots improve energy efficiency by up to 35 percent and in solar panels can increase efficiency up to 45 percent.

Matthew Hance, whose award-winning science-fiction stories have been published in anthologies and e-zines, had just written a novel and was feeling mentally fatigued when he came up with the idea for a story about a memory-erasing service. It deserved more than one short story, he decided, so he asked authors and artists to contribute their takes on the idea. Thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign, "The Memory Eater" is now available on Amazon.
I started writing after the movie "Red Dragon." I had such high expectations for that movie. I was a big movie buff. And that movie just wasn't good. I got out of the movie theater and was like, "I'm going to write something better." And I wrote the worst novel in the world. I thought I was going to drive to my high school prom in a Dodge Viper from the profits from this horrible, horrible book.
I had a class in college that was sci-fi literature. That's when I got into all of the classics like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," stuff like that.
I write more soft science fiction, where the science takes a back stage to the characters. There's soft and hard. I'm not really into the hard, where you get into all of the mechanics of everything.
I had written a short story about a person who had no memory, so they had to go through the story and figure out how they came to lose their memory. At the time I was in my customer service representative job. So the story I came up with was someone who worked for a company as a customer service representative, and their service was they deleted memories.
I decided to expand it and turn it into an anthology. I thought I could get enough submissions to fill out an anthology, so I just put the word out online. I ended up getting about 230. I had the luxury of picking the best and then develop an overall story with it.
A lot of the authors I've never met before, and I'm sure I might not meet them ever. Some of them are from Australia, Canada, Europe. This is worldwide. There are two other people from the Columbus Creative Cooperative. There's 27 different artists [in the anthology] who I found online. Most of the artists are overseas.
When I first put out a call for submissions, some people tried to shoot me down, like, "Isn't this a rip-off of 'Eternal Sunshine'?" But I'd never seen the film. I went and read about it, and it kinda is, yeah. It's weird how that works. I wrote a short story, and two days after I wrote it, I read a Ray Bradbury story that was the exact same thing. I was like, "Are you serious?"
I wanted to get 500 books, and I didn't have money to pay for them up front. One of the authors [in the anthology] recommended Kickstarter. The great thing about it is you give the product to the people, you let them see what it is and you let them judge for themselves whether it's worthy enough. It was cool to put it out there and have the support to meet the goal.

A Drunk Baboon
I hate to be that guy who talks about his fantasy baseball team but I came across an article the other day that kind of summed up my season. Let me go back a little, though, and explain. At a couple points I was looking good. The hitters were hitting. The pitchers were pitching. But some guys were starting to taper off so I made some changes.
Bad idea. As most readers of this blog know, we like to comment on the simian nature of Vicente Padilla. However, despite two year's worth of warnings, I went ahead and picked him up anyway. He was pitching well, the Dodgers looked good. How could I lose?
Well, instead of trying to explain what Padilla did to my season, I'll refer you to the article I mentioned at the beginning. Yes, I think the best way to describe Vicente Padilla is "drunk baboon." Read the article while imagining my team as Cape Town and you'll get the picture.
5 Comments
Oh no! Another post pickin on Padilla! He actually has given me a few nice games in the past n my FB team. You know he has behaved with the Dodgers, he signs autographs for fans and is friendly with them.
Well that threw me through a loop, cause i thought Detroit was a fantasy team… we learn something everyday…
Phillies Outside
Do I even want to know what that is on his tongue? It just looks very "eww"y.
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
How did you find that pic of Padilla doing what he does best? That man sweats and spits more than any player I've ever seen.
What IS it with you guys and Vicente Padilla? It's like me with Jason Vargas/Eric Bruntlett—-just….can't….resist.

Philadelphia Phillies (24-23) at St Louis Cardinals (25-21)
Kyle Kendrick (0-4, 5.23) vs. Jaime Garcia (3-2, 3.55)
Time: 7:15, Busch Stadium
TV: Fox
Weather: Sunny, 94
Media: Twitter and Facebook
In the first two games of this series, the Phillies have looked like a team that is still very much feeling the sting that accompanied an early playoff exit when the Cardinals unexpectedly upset them in last season's NLDS . The Phils can still taste the bitterness, and they've looked determined to wash it away in defeating the Cardinals two games in a row. In a way, the Phils have turned the tables on the Cards in the two victories. Much like the Cardinals during last year's playoffs, the Phils have been the team to keep battling, to claw and scrap and find a way to victory, no matter what it takes. The effort has been a breath of fresh air for a Phillies team that has, at times this season, looked completely incapable of coming back from a deficit or out-slugging an opponent to win a ball game. The series has all the makings of a turning point, if only the Phils can get one of these next two games.
Behind the arm of Kyle Kendrick, they'll try to assure themselves a series victory tonight. Despite most fans' perception of KK, he hasn't been too bad as a starter this season. His 4.33 ERA in five starts is respectable. If you take away his first start against Arizona, in which he allowed seven runs over just 3+ innings, his ERA drops to 2.25. In his last start against Washington, he took the loss. But it was more due to the fact that the Phillies didn't score any runs. He went seven innings and gave up just two runs. It does bear mentioning that in those last four starts where Kendrick has been much better, he's faced the Cubs twice and the Nationals twice–two teams that rank 14th and 13th in the NL in runs scored, respectively. He'll be dealing with a different monster tonight when he faces an offensive juggernaut in the Cardinals.
Jaime Garcia gets the nod for the Cardinals, looking to stop their two-game skid. Fans are, no doubt, very familiar with Garcia, as he has been a thorn in the side of Phillies hitters for a few years now. In six career games (four starts) against the Phils, Garcia has posted a 1.20 ERA. Current Phillies hitters have hit a combined .193 against Garcia, though they do have nine walks to 11 strikeouts. Some will remember that Garcia's last start against the Phils came when he faced Cole Hamels in game three of last year's NLDS. Garcia stymied the Phils over six innings until Ben Francisco did this.
Hopefully the Phils can find some more magic tonight against Garcia.
Lineup: Rollins SS, Polanco 3B, Pence RF, Wigginton 1B, Victorino CF, Mayberry LF, Galvis 2B, Schneider C, Kendrick P

46 pitches through 5. I feel dizzy.
Great game Kyle Kendrick !!
Where is everyone tonight espically the Kendrick haters i.e. Brooks, Tracey & Big Al. Nice job KK!!!
Fantastic effort by Kyle…Got the shutout…Not only that but he did it against one of the offensive Juggernauts of the NL…..Rollins i think he has his ass in his culo….This team has a lot of adversity to overcome with Chase and Howard out…a 1/3 rd of there bullpen out…Rollins swinging the bat like a Ostrich with his head buried in the ground…
If Rollins really did have his @ss in his culo, it would be quite a feat, since culo is Spanish for @ss.
Also, he was robbed in the 1st of a probable home run. Hard to do if your @ss is in your culo.
Great game by Kendrik. Thank heavens RAJ improved the bench since 25% of our positional starters have been useless. Love Chase but he should retire to free up the cap $$$. He looked stiff after 6 gbs.
Kendrick was really good. His changeup was nasty, he was hitting the corners, mixing his pitches effectively, and also managed to field his position pretty well and lay down two perfect sacrifice bunts.
He also went all the way at just the right time, when the bullpen needed some rest.
Let's all hope he can do it again.
I know this is off topic, but, the Phillies have moved Dom Brown to centerfield in Lehigh Valley, for the last few games. Now, he is not ready to come up this year, as his offense and fielding have been inconsistent at best, but….could they be preparing for Victorino to leave later this year (via trade) or next year (via free agency)? This would save them significant money in centerfield, and make room for Hamels' salary.
The chances of Hamels returning have been looking less and less likely with each of his excellent starts, but could this be a sign of Rube trying to be "creative" with the Phils roster and farm system? maybe, I am reading into things to strongly, but why else would they try Brown in center?
They obviously will need a centerfielder next year, as well as LF and probably 3B.
Don't get your hopes up for Hamels being back unless they can trade Lee. The chances of them carrying three $20 million pitchers is very slim. It doesn't make financial sense to allocate that much to the rotation (along with a $13 million closer).
probably keith they moved him to center because there's a better prospect they want to play left!
Who is the better prospect?
Sweet game by Kendrick and I really did not see that coming.
I hope Doc can finish the sweep tomorrow, with a win for Doc to top it.
I do believe there was a junior sighting tonight, good stuff
They carried Cole, Cliff, Doc, Blanton, Lidge, Oswalt and Madson. I think they can pull it off they so wish to. `
In re: the Phils carrying 3 starters making over $20MM …. David Montgomery was asked that very thing recently and he said "yes" they most certainly could. The question now remains as to whether they will.
I agree that "on paper" they could certainly do it. The problem is that in reality it leaves very little to allocate to other areas. We're looking at a team without a future at CF, LF, 3B, and RF (2014).
And without Hamels, we're looking at a team without much dominant pitching. Halladay has but one more option year, so after 2013, the rotation could be Lee, Worley, Kendrick, heaven knows who, and Blanton. Oh, wait, they won't have Blanton after 2012.
George, I definitely agree that Hamels is their best pitcher right now and going forward. The chances of him being here in 2013 are getting very slim though.
That being said, you don't need an "ace" in all five rotation slots. St. Louis won the championship last year with Carpenter, Garcia, and some very average guys after that. The Dodgers have the best record in baseball with Kershaw followed by four journeymen pitchers in their rotation.
KK had a nice game yesterday, but he needs more than this. I'm not a hater, but KK's not a starting pitcher for the long term. Middle relief is best for him.
So far this season, Kendrick has been much better as a starter than he's been in relief. The game prior, he went seven innings and gave up two runs, and the one before that was also a quality start. With the shutout yesterday, I really don't know how much more he needs.
Since Chase can hit would there be any AL teams looking to upgrade at DH? Phil's could use that $15 million to sign Cole, Vic and a LF.
It's a nice thought, but until Utley proves he can hit WELL, no one will be interested. Most teams won't go $15 million on a DH these days, either.
I am pretty sure that Cliff Lee can't be traded. I think he had that put in his contract when he came back because he wanted to play here till he retires. If you remember he was not happy being traded out of Philly and he and his wife were shocked. So when he took the deal in Philly over NYY it was with the stipulation that he could not be traded away.
Congrats to Kyle Kendrick what a great game. I will admit that when I saw his name as the starting pitcher I figured this game was lost because of Garcia's record against Philly. So it was a pleasant surprise to tune in and see the score.
When I read Kyles interview after the game it was surprising to learn that he likes the heat and humidity. He also likes pitching in Atlanta….good for us. However, speaking of heat….
Doc will be pitching today and the heat is going to be 96 degrees even though the humidity will be low. So don't be surprised it Doc doesn't do so well today with this heat. He seems to have a problem with high temps.
First, a congrats to Kendrick, as he rise to the occasion last night and locked the Cards down and gave out bullpen a rest. Secondly, as far as Hamels and signing him are concerned, there are too many "ifs" surrounding this point in the season, the biggest being Utley an if he returns, and how his performance is with the team, amongst the other scenarios already discussed on this blog. It is an excruciatingly long waiting period, but I don't think they sign, or really heat up talks, until Hamels and the Phillies miss the playoffs ( worst-case scenario) or if they make the playoffs, after the season. Either way, they must sign him. We will see though, as we need to fill LF and 3B and maybe centerfield. Too many variables right now. If Glavis continues to heat up offensively, I'd love to dump J-bag to the 8th spot to light a fire under his prima-donna a$$, but the old man won't do it. La Russa would have, as he did it when starters were struggling last year. Enough ranting, let us sweep the red birds! Go Phils!
I meant "rose" not rise. Damn iPhone.

King Pepin the Short
- Pippin the Short
- Pepin the Younger
Son of Charles Martel; father of Blessed Charlemagne. In 741 he succeeded, with his brother Carloman, as Frankish mayor of the palace, the real ruler under the puppet Merovingian kings. Two years later Childeric III was named king by Carloman, who subsequently became a monk. With the approval of Pope Zacharias, Pepin had Childeric removed, and himself elected King of the Franks in 751 and crowned with sacred ceremonies, the first instance among the Franks. Later he was appointed protector of the Church's privileges and as such forced the Lombards to restore central Italy to the Holy See. With the aid of Saint Boniface he undertook the reform of the Frankish Church and by his life-work promoted the papal power and ecclesiastical unity.

Loraine M. BruléJanuary 25,2013
Loraine M. Brulé
BERLIN Loraine Marie (Laird) Brulé, 83, of Barre, passed away peacefully with her family at her side Wednesday, Jan. 23, 2013, at Woodridge Rehab and Nursing Center in Berlin, after a lengthy illness.
Loraine was born July 9, 1929, in Montpelier, to the late Clyde and Nettie (Getchel) Laird. She attended Montpelier public schools and graduated from Montpelier High School in 1946. She married the late Maurice N. Brulé from Graniteville on Nov. 26, 1949, and remained in the Barre-Montpelier area throughout her life.
She is survived by her four children, Ronald N. Brulé, of Barre, Joanne S. Warner and her husband, Douglas, of Lowell, Maurice Normand Brulé Jr. and his wife, Katie, of Wilmington, Mass., and Lisa A. (Brulé) Ash and her husband, James, of Barre.
Loraine is also survived by her siblings Dorothy Lucille (Laird) Cayia, Harold Loren Laird and Betty Jean (Laird) Bell. She is also survived by her 12 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her siblings Rachel Laird, Phyllis R. (Laird) Maranville, Elva (Laird) Gallison, Kyle S. Ladd, Raymond A. Ladd and Kenneth N. Ladd.
She was known for her sense of humor, her baked beans and her quick wit. Most of all, she was known for putting others before herself, and for being an encouragement to everyone who knew her. She was an eternal optimist. Her cup was always half full, never half empty. She was always there for her family and many friends who could count on her for encouragement and help at any hour of the day or night.
Loraine was employed by Vermont Dental Care during the 1970s as a dental assistant and helped to provide dental care via mobile clinics to Head Start children throughout the state. Later, she worked for the federal government as a case manager for the Federal Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers Program, where she was able to travel throughout the state and the country to ensure safe and fair working conditions for migrant farmworkers and their families. After retiring, she continued to advocate for residents of central Vermont, first by working part time for Washington County Mental Health Services, and by serving several years as president of the North Barre Manor Tenants Association, where she lived.
Loraine was an excellent swimmer and enjoyed camping, fishing and traveling. She loved to sew and enjoyed making dresses and Raggedy Ann dolls for many of her grandchildren. She was an honorary member of the Underhill Fife and Drum Corps. While with them, she created wonderful hand-sewn wool Revolutionary War dolls, one of which remains on display at the Ethan Allen Homestead in Burlington. She was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, was an avid reader and music lover. One of her greatest pleasures was to be surrounded by her grandchildren at Christmas time singing carols. She was also very involved with her church and was considered a pillar of faith by her pastor. She was an inspiration to her congregation, especially the young people, many of whom she adopted as her own grandchildren.
Loraine has donated her body to the University of Vermont through the anatomical gift program. A memorial service to be held at a later date will be announced.MORE IN ObituariesPaul N. Sourdiff

Football and volleyball players began their summer rituals on Monday while the cross country teams have been busy since Aug. 1. Coastal Bend College volleyball and soccer have also begun their drives to their opening matches on the first of the month.
The Bee County schools are busy with two-a-days; most practices are scheduled for the cooler morning hours.
Both Pettus and Skidmore-Tynan have new head coaches as Dan Garza takes over for the departed Steve Marbach for the Eagles and coach Russell Joy takes the helm for the Bobcats. Troy Moses is back for his fourth year as the head coach and athletic director of the Trojans.
Conditioning takes up most of the practices this first week as teams get back into playing shape. All three schools produced good numbers at their first practices.
"We were very pleased with our first day of practice. We had a 48-player turnout, which was much more than expected," said coach Garza.
"We saw good potential talent and size that we also did not expect. Overall, it was a great first day of football with a pretty positive outlook as we near our first scrimmage."
The numbers were up at Skidmore also as new coach Joy welcomed more than 60 players who will vie for the 30 or so slots on varsity.
"We hope to not have too many doing double duty on both offense and defense. We have some good athletes," said coach Joy.
The Trojans welcomed several returnees back and a strong freshman group.
"I'm really impressed with our younger kids. They have the potential to do some great things. It will be fun to see them develop over the next few years," said coach Moses.
The Trojan have several experienced linemen back but will have to replace three of the four starters in the backfield.
The Beeville boys have Cameron Kremers and Tanner Treviño competing for the starter's role at QB this year. The Trojans will be looking to repeat or better last year's playoff appearance after a two-year absence.
"I am very excited about the opportunity we have this year. I'm confident in our kids and feel we are going to surprise some people," said Moses.
The volleyball coaches also got their first look at their squads on Monday. New head coach Brittainie Zensmeyer will lead the Lady Trojans, and Tim Stowe will replace Judy Whatley as the head coach in Skidmore. Erica Garza returns for the Lady Eagles and has a young but athletic squad this year.

Both leading designers of graphics processors – ATI Technologies and NVIDIA Corporation – said they are in process of shipping graphics chips and cards with PCI Express x16 support to their customers. The announcement indicates that transition to the new bus is on the roll.
PCI Express is a next-generation internal interconnection for personal computers that will exist in certain speed incarnations, e.g., x1, x4, x16. The PCI Express x16 lane is intended primarily for graphics cards, works at about 2.5 gigatransfers per second and is able to pump up to 8GB of data in each direction. Due to totally different transfer protocol from the AGP 8x bus, the PCI Express also has some other advantages over AGP, such as isolated read and write channels, ability to prioritize the data streams and a number of others.
While both NVIDIA and ATI are ready to offer their latest graphics processors to clients who plan to acquire personal computers with PCI Express x16 bus (PEG x16), approaches the companies used to add PCI Express interface into their chips seem to be different. ATI Technologies uses built-in PCI Express x16 controller and is able to offer fully-featured so-called "native PCI Express" solutions. NVIDIA uses a special chip that bridges its AGP graphics processors with PCI Express x16 platforms. NVIDIA claims that PEG x16 bandwidth or bi-directional transfer ability are not sacrificed as a consequence of its "bridge approach", though, certain PCI Express functionality may not be enabled on NVIDIA's graphics cards with the HSI bridge, some analysts said.
ATI Technologies currently offers RADEON X300, RADEON X600 and RADEON X800 series of graphics processors with PCI Express x16 interface targeting entry-level, mainstream and high-end markets. NVIDIA targets the same market segments with its GeForce PCX 5300, GeForce PCX 5750, GeForce PCX 5900, GeForce 6800 GT as well as GeForce 6800 Ultra graphics cards supporting PCI Express x16 interconnection.
Computer makers and retailers worldwide will start shipping PCs and graphics cards with PCI Express x16 interface shortly.
Smaller graphics chip designers, such as S3 Graphics, 3Dlabs and XGI Technology, are likely to jump on the PCI Express x16 bandwagon a bit later this Summer.

Remembering Jennifer Morbelli
It's another tragic story of a young woman's life being lost to a botched abortion. : In this case, it was twenty-nine year oldJennifer Morbelli,: who was a patient of Dr. Leroy Carhart. : Carhart performed a third trimester abortion on Ms. Morbelli, which resulted in massive internal bleeding in her abdominal cavity. : She died last Friday. : This isn't the first time a patient of Dr. Carhart has died while he was performing a third trimester abortion. : According to: LifeSiteNews:
This tragic incident occurred the same day that another: medical emergency: took place at a New Mexico abortion clinic: involving long-time Carhart associate Shelley Sella. At the time of that incident, a Medical Board in New Mexico was voting to: clear Sella of: negligence charges, related to a botched third trimester abortion using the same risky late-term abortion method employed by Carhart. This dangerous out-patient abortion process includes long periods of time where the patient is unmonitored while taking strong doses of a drug that causes unpredictable and sometimes violent contractions."The avoidable death of this young woman dramatically illustrates the dangers of third trimester abortions that are done outside of the safety of obstetrical standards," said Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue and Pro-life Nation.
"In 2005, Carhart was also involved in the death of: Christin Gilbert, who died after a third trimester abortion in Wichita, Kansas. It is time for medical boards to put an end to these horrifically dangerous and barbaric third trimester abortions. If they do not, we can only expect Carhart and his associates to send more women to the morgue."
Dr. Carhart's butcher's bill is disturbingly devoid of any remorse.: Lila Rose, President of: Live Action, released thisstatement: on February 8 concerning the death Ms. Morbelli.
While his twenty-nine-year-old patient and her eight-month-old baby were dying horribly, late-term abortionist Leroy Carhart skipped town, leaving the hospital and the young woman's family desperate for answers. Carhart himself is busy whitewashing and promoting his grisly work through a Hollywood film. So how many women and children are killed by abortionists like Carhart without our ever knowing, their deaths covered up by pro-abortion physicians?
Not only does Carhart's violent work literally tear women from their children, but it also divides women against themselves; they suffer and mourn for their lost children, yet they are all the while told by Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion entities that they have no good reason to grieve.
These tragic and unnecessary deaths underline what Live Action has detailed again and again: abortion is not safe — for anyone. Women who understand what these horrible abortions entail do not want them. And those women who are lied to and misled about these "procedures" deserve to know exactly what Big Abortion — and their abortion bosses like Carhart — seek to do to them.
However, the nation — and: the political left: — is more wrapped up in: Christopher Dorner, than the brutalization of women at the hands of : an abortionist.

*Correction:: : In my previous post, I mistakenly wrote that Morbelli slipped into a coma before passing away. : She went — tragically — into Code Blue (cardiac/respiratory arrest) six times before she died.

- CD8+ T cells have an essential role in pulmonary clearance of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae following mucosal immunization
- Author(s)
- Foxwell, A. Ruth; Kyd, Jennelle M.; Karupiah, Guna; Cripps, Allan W.
- Abstract
- A rodent respiratory experimental model has proved useful for investigating the immune mechanisms responsible for clearance of bacteria from the lungs. Immunohistochemical studies in immune and nonimmune rats have identified the cellular kinetics of response to bacterial pulmonary infection for CD8+, CD4+, and γδ+ T cells; B cells; and the expression of major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II). During the course of bacterial clearance, there was no apparent proliferation or extravasation of lymphocytes, nor was there increased expression of MHC-II in nonimmune animals despite an influx of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, whereas in immunized animals there was an early influx of CD8+ and γδ+ T cells, followed by enhanced expression of the MHC-II marker, cellular infiltration by polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and finally an increased number of CD4+ T cells. Depletion of CD8+ T cells confirmed their vital contribution in the preprimed immune response to pulmonary infection by significantly decreasing the animals' ability to clear bacteria following challenge.

text: Hi, I started my LO on rice cereal but she doesn't seem to like it and I also think she didn't know what to do with it (tongue reflex). She is better now, even though I don't give it to her every day. She is 6 months old. Should I start the purees? I made sweet potato puree and apple puree. Should I combine say sweet potato w/ rice cereal? Should I try oatmeal? I know its about practicing etc but I don't want her to fall behind and I'm getting pressure from DH and MIL to try again.

- Author(s)
- Baes, Maarten; Buyle, Pieter; Hau, George K. T.; Dejonghe, Herwig B.
- Abstract
- We present new velocity dispersion measurements of a sample of 12 spiral galaxies for which extended rotation curves are available. These data are used to refine a recently discovered correlation between the circular velocity and the central velocity dispersion of spiral galaxies. We find a slightly steeper slope for our larger sample, confirm the negligible intrinsic scatter on this correlation and find a striking agreement with the corresponding relation for elliptical galaxies. We combine this correlation with the well-known MBH–σ relation to obtain a tight correlation between the circular velocities of galaxies and the masses of the supermassive black holes they host. This correlation is the observational evidence for an intimate link between dark matter haloes and supermassive black holes. Apart from being an important ingredient for theoretical models of galaxy formation and evolution, the relation between MBH and circular velocity can serve as a practical tool to estimate black hole masses in spiral galaxies..
