Are We Seriously Only Halfway Through Spring Training?
Is it just me, or is it taking forever to get to the regular season? I was excited when Spring Training began, because a little baseball is better than no baseball. But that excitement has waned slowly and transformed into impatience. Can we get to the real games already!
There is not much else in Philly to get excited about right now. The Flyers are good one day, and suck the next. They are in last place in their division. And the 76ers are all but out of playoff contention, unless a small miracle occurs. And no, that miracle will not be Andrew Bynum, who does not appear to have any desire to play this year. He will sit back and collect his massive paycheck.
Some people are excited about the Papal Conclave in Rome. I get it. I was just in Rome this past October; I took the whole 9-mile tour of the Vatican museums, St. Peter's and the Sistine Chapel. It was an ethereal experience for sure. But unless the smoke coming out of that chapel chimney signals the start of the regular season, I don't have much to get excited about.
They will pick a new pope. Some people will celebrate, some will complain and life will go on. But what I really need is some baseball!
I like Spring Training; it is a necessary part of baseball. But some things about it annoy me. Mainly, that it is 6-weeks long, the games don't count and the fact that I am not in Florida right now. Ugh.
However, there have been a number of rather interesting incidents this spring. A Hooter's ball girl screwed up and fielded a fair ball (not that interesting I guess; this happens every year); Charlie Manuel was accosted by a strange man on a tricycle at a game against the Astros; and several Phillies playing for Team Canada in the WBC brawled with Team Mexico this past Saturday. Apparently, Pete Orr was thrown out of the game. Tyson Gillies, who has a habit of finding trouble, body slammed a Red Sox pitcher who was playing for Mexico. And Phillies Sebastian Valle, who played for Mexico, swung his catcher's helmet at opposing players, despite their being at least 3 of his Phillies teammates on Canada's team. Oops.
So while Spring Training has not been dull, it is just not over yet! But we are half-way there and everyone, so far, is healthy (cross all fingers and toes)…3 weeks to go!

Magic Moments of Phillies Spring Training
The first official Spring Training game for the Phillies will take place on Saturday. I am excited for baseball! But there is also a little sadness that I cannot be in Clearwater this year to enjoy the first crack of the bat under the warm Florida sunshine. If you are lucky enough to be heading south, enjoy it!
Spring Training is a magical moment in time where players are generally happy, relaxed and having a good time. The fan-friendly atmosphere and nice weather draws big crowds each year. And while the games are interesting, they really don't mean much. The real reason to head to Clearwater is to mingle with other fans, chat with players, get autographs and photos and, most importantly, get a closer look at how major leaguers behave when their guard is down.
You may notice a lot of smiles, laughter and silly hijinks. To demonstrate, and also to get you in the Spring Training frame of mind, here are some of my favorite photos and moments from years past in Clearwater:
First up, the normally quiet and reserved Chase Utley laughs out loud and on another occasion, poses and smiles for me:
Jimmy Rollins waves hello and later attempts to play golf with his bat and ball:
Phillies alum Mike Schmidt has some fun with Reggie Jackson; Charlie Manuel jokes around with his players:
Remember Fan Fest? For some reason, the Phillies have cancelled this annual tradition of meeting players and getting autographs. But it was amazing while it lasted. Here are Chad Durbin and Kyle Kendrick signing and posing for me:
I attended a few Team USA games while in Clearwater. The most memorable moment was watching Jimmy Rollins and Derek Jeter of the Yankees field balls side-by-side during warm-ups. The second photo is Chooch, Carlos Ruiz, making an odd face at batting practice:
Here we have the Big Man, Ryan Howard, yucking it up on the field and later doing his impersonation of an airplane (or maybe he was just playing 1st base?):
And finally, just me and my camera hanging out by the field before batting practice. You can see how close fans can get to the field:
Are you ready to pack your bags yet? Wishing I was….sigh. Maybe next year :O)

Bring On The Yankees
During Spring Training this year, I predicted a Phillies – Yankees World Series. It was more of a wish than a realistic thought at the time, but nonetheless, I have gotten my wish :O) Apparently, Jimmy Rollins made the very same prediction; what can I tell you? Great minds think alike.
Not only will this be an epic battle of David and Goliath – the Yanks with 26 World Championships and the Phillies with only 2 – but it has been my lifelong dream to witness these two teams do battle on the grandest stage in baseball. You see, I have two favorite teams in every sport – one NL and one AL. These are my two teams! This about sums up how I feel right now:
The Phillies are my #1 of course, and you can read why on the About Me page. But I grew up in central NJ and the Yanks were always on TV. If I asked for a Phillies hat for Christmas, I got a Yankees hat. So while it was forced upon me at first, I grew to enjoy watching Reggie Jackson whack balls out of the park. And the crazy facial hair of Goose Gossage made me giggle. Lou Piniella, Thurman Munson, the 1977-78 World Series…classic stuff. And then in the 90's, it was all about Derek Jeter…
This is also why I love Spring Training…I get to see moments like Jeter & Utley sharing a man-hug. And Jeter & Rollins joining forces on Team USA:
I am SO excited!! How about everyone else out there? What is YOUR dream World Series and why? Feel free to share in the comments and you may be in my next blog!
In the meantime, Go Phillies! (and a slightly less enthusiastic, Go Yanks :O)

Outta Here!
Many baseballs left the ballpark today, as well as many players. Marcus Giles, who batted only .167 this spring, was given his release today. This was the best option for Giles who would not see a lot of action in the minors; this way, he has a chance to move on to another team. John Mayberry Jr. and Carlos Carrasco were both optioned back to the minors. Mayberry started off hot in camp this year, but struggled as the pitching became more difficult. He needs some more work to be big league ready, as does Carrasco. Three other players were told officially they would not make the team's 25-man roster, but they will stay with the Phils until Saturday to give Charlie Manuel a few more options during the On Deck Series. The three players are Philadelphia native, Mike Koplove, RHP; 2nd baseman Pablo Ozuna; and outfielder Jason Ellison.
This leaves Miguel Cairo as the only extra right-handed bat, unless a trade is pulled off in the next few weeks. Cairo has not hit as well as Ozuna this spring, but he can play multiple positions and has a great deal of experience. Also, the Phillies are required to release Cairo if he does not make the 25-man roster, which may play into the decision. Rumor has it also that Matt Stairs and Geoff Jenkins are up for grabs; however, the Phillies are going to have a hard time getting rid of either as Stairs is nearing retirement and Jenkins is well over-paid.
Also still up in the air is the 5th starter's spot. Chan Ho Park has made this a very difficult decision; today he pitched 5 2/3 innings, giving up 6 hits, 1 walk and only 1 earned run. Park also struck out 7 and now has an ERA of 2.53 in 21 1/3 innings. Lefty JA Happ currently stands at 20 innings with a 3.15 ERA. Things being fairly even, Happ is still the best choice to start as Park has a proven track record as a reliever and Happ is not so comfortable in that role. Plus with the addition of lefty Jack Taschner, there is less need for Happ, also a lefty, in the pen. Park would be horribly disappointed in the decision if it goes that way, especially since he gave up pitching in the WBC this year, so does his mental status play into this as well? That remains to be seen…
The Phillies bats are heating up in preparation for Opening Night as evidenced by four home runs today from Jimmy Rollins, Eric Bruntlett, Ryan Howard and Carlos Ruiz.
7 of the Phillies 13 runs in the 13-3 victory over the Astros came off the long ball. And Bruntlett in particular had a fun day against his former team, going 3 for 4 with 4 RBI. With all this power unleashed, it makes you wish these guys would save a bit for the real thing. Only 6 days left!
Brett Myers, now scheduled to start on opening day, will pitch tomorrow against the Blue Jays at 7:05pm. Cole Hamels got into a minor league game today and said he felt no discomfort. Hamels is tentatively scheduled to start with the Phillies on April 10th against the Rockies.

Food For Thought
Although the Phillies outhit the Red Sox today and racked up 7 walks, they lost the game 3-1 as a result of having 12 men left on base. The 4th inning was a great example of the trouble the Phils had closing the deal; Raul Ibanez singled off Jon Lester, followed by a Pedro Feliz double. With runners on 2nd and 3rd and no outs, John Mayberry popped out. Keeping the inning alive, Chris Coste earned a walk to load the bases; but then Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino went down in order to end the threat.
The good news is that the Phillies made a habit out of this last year and still won the World Series. The bad news is, lightning usually does not strike twice in the same place. Not to say they cannot repeat, because they are more than capable, but the offense needs to solve the issue of leaving men on base to add to their chances. Plus, many Phillies hitters are behind schedule from where they would normally be this time of year because of injuries like those of Coste, Feliz and Chase Utley. Rollins and Victorino are also behind in the number of at-bats they should have because of the WBC. Just a few thoughts for our offense to chew on.
Cole Hamels is also running behind, not only due to the elbow injury, but his rehab was further delayed today when the minor league game he was set to pitch in was reportedly cancelled due to rain. The rest of the Phillies pitchers however, appear to be right on track.
Joe Blanton has pitched very well this spring and gave up only 4 hits and 2 runs in 6 1/3 innings today against a strong Red Sox line-up. We are all waiting now to see the new Phillie, Jack Taschner get into a game so we can see what he has to offer. Aside from that question mark, the regulars in the pen look ready to go.

And since we are on the subject of food, I just read an article about big league food in the MLB Insiders magazine by Jeremiah Sullivan. According to Lance Berkman, the major leaguer with the biggest appetite is his former teammate, Brad Lidge. "Brad Lidge will eat any and everything in sight," says Berkman. "It doesn't matter what it is, he constantly crushes food. He eats more than any other human being that I've seen in my entire life. And everything has Tabasco sauce on it." Ok, gross. So what sort of food does All-Star Chase Utley like best? "Sushi day is definitely my favorite," says Utley. "It is only served once every few home stands – that isn't often enough." Raw fish; good to know. Between that and the Tabasco sauce, I may never eat again.
And today marks 1 week until Opening Night in Philadelphia! Whoo Hooo! But until then, grapefruit league action will continue with the Phillies taking on Mr. Berkman and his Astros at 1:05pm tomorrow.

Spring Training Photo Fun
Since the Phillies have the day off today, I thought I would share some more Spring Training photos with you. These fall under the categories of weird stuff, accidents and a whole lotta Shane Victorino.
Let's start with Shane! 1st photo: Note that his glove has a special engraving, "Kaipo" – in Hawaiian, this means "Sweatheart." How cute is that? 2nd photo: A Yankees fan taunts Shane after catching a home run ball:
Fans with possible brain damage – This first one is what happens when you have had one too many beers and a home run ball decides to visit:
And this one is not so funny; good news though, after getting beamed with a foul ball, this kid was ok!
YMCA Oddity: Apparently, the ground crew at Yankees Spring Training are required to do the YMCA for the fans between innings. The music started and here is what happened next:
And as soon as Victorino got on base after witnessing the YMCA insanity, here is what happened after that:
So how many of you are singing "YMCA" right now? :O)
Another fun baseball event; the breaking of the bat. Adam Dunn, Team USA, demonstrates. Note the bat handle in the first shot:
And finally, Derek Jeter and David Wright, brought together by the weirdness that is the World Baseball Classic. After a game win, the two were caught fist bumping; but not without a safety divider. Adam Dunn steps in to keep the weirdness from getting out of hand.
I hope you enjoyed the photos! The Phillies will be back on the diamond tomorrow at 1:05pm to face the Yankees.

USA Eliminated Despite Rollins' Perfect Game
No one can say that Jimmy Rollins did not do his part to help Team USA advance in the World Baseball Classic; but despite his best efforts, the USA was eliminated by Japan last night. Rollins, in the DH role yesterday, went 4 for 4 at the plate, including a triple; he also stole a base, had 1 walk and scored a run. But in all 5 times Rollins was on base, only one time was he able to score. The other 4 times, he was left stranded. J-Roll ended his stint in the Classic with a .417 batting average, putting him 3rd place overall for the USA.
Some rather controversial moves by the USA manager, Davey Johnson, also seem to have contributed to the loss. At times, it seemed more like Johnson was trying to make everyone happy, rather than trying to win the game. This is an unfortunate consequence of the presser put upon Johnson by Major League coaches to only use their players in certain ways, at certain positions. For example, pitcher Roy Oswalt was left in the game too long; he should have been pulled earlier in the 4th inning, before the 5 run explosion by Team Japan. But, likely because Johnson felt a duty to Oswalt's team, the Astros, he was left in to stretch out his arm in preparation for the upcoming MLB season. By the time Oswalt got his pitch count in, the damage was done.
Another issue arose in the 8th inning when, with the USA down 6-4, Shane Victorino stood in the on deck circle to pinch hit with a runner on 3rd and 1 out; at the last minute,
Johnson pulled Victorino and sent Evan Longoria to the plate. Johnson was obviously hoping for a long ball from Longoria, but the problem was that Longoria, being right handed, was going to have to face a right handed pitcher and monster winds that were blowing towards right field. Victorino, who is a switch hitter and could have batted left-handed, had a much better shot at getting a hit off the righty and could have used the wind to his advantage. So, why would Johnson put Longoria in? One possible reason is that Longoria was a late addition to the team and had not yet gotten an at-bat. Johnson likely felt indebted to Longoria for making the trip out and decided he should at least get one at-bat out of the trip. While this is very nice and thoughtful of Johnson, it was not in the best interest of Team USA. Longoria struck-out, Brian Roberts grounded out and that was the end of the threat.
Defense also hindered the Americans from advancing; with 3 errors in the game, Mark DeRosa playing first base, where he had never started before, and Adam Dunn in right field, Team USA was just not able to keep pace with Japan. Dunn, put in the game for his bat even though he is a below average fielder, wound up going hitless in 5 at-bats with 1 walk and 3 strikeouts. In the future, if the USA intends to compete, they are going to have to prepare much earlier for this tournament; plus, players and managers will have to understand that these are real games and that they will be expected to play accordingly. Will this ever actually happen? Your guess is as good as mine.
So the good news for the Phillies is that J-Roll and Victorino will be returning to camp. After a 3-0 loss to the Red Sox yesterday, the Phils will be hoping that J-Roll can kick start the offense for them. Jamie Moyer gets the start today against the Yankees at 1:05pm. Less than 2 weeks until Opening Day…things are going to get a lot more interesting the closer we get to April 5th. More on that later…

Phillies and Mets Unite!
Ok, well not really. But Phillies Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino did participate with David Wright of the Mets yesterday to advance Team USA to the semi-final round of the World Baseball Classic. In fact, all three Phillies that were still involved with the Classic had a hand in the victory along with Wright. JC Romero, playing for Team Puerto Rico, did not exactly get the outcome he wished for, but he did play a role in this very exciting game.
By the bottom of the 9th inning, Team USA was losing by a score of 5-3 to Puerto Rico. Enter, Shane Victorino; Victorino smacked a single down the 1st base line off his own Phillies teammate, Romero, to start the comeback. Victorino played a huge part in the entire game, going 3 for 4 with an RBI. Next up, Brian Roberts singled; Victorino then tagged on a Jeter long fly ball to move to 3rd base. Enter Rollins, who was issued his 2nd walk of the night to load the bases. Romero was lifted from the game, shaking his head as he walked off the mound, having given up a hit and a walk to his own Phillies teammates.
Fernando Cabrera came in to relieve Romero, but then proceeded to walk a run in (Victorino), making the score 5-4. Wright then took over, whacking a 2 run walk-off single, on which Rollins and Roberts scored. Game over – Team USA wins, 5-6. See video of the final hit and celebration HERE.
But the most fascinating part of the win for me was seeing Wright, Rollins, Victorino, and even Mike Schmidt, not only get the job done together, but then watching them celebrate together afterwards. As heated as the Phillies – Mets rivalry has become over the past several years, you never would have known it watching these NL East opponents working together to attain a common goal. Here is a still shot from the video of the last hit and the celebration:
Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, doesn't it? Ok, well, perhaps that is going a bit far… ;o)
Team USA will travel to the west coast after tonight's game against Team Venezuela, which will determine the top seed. Team Korea will join them in Los Angeles as well, to prepare for the next round of the Classic. The final team has yet to be decided; Japan and Cuba will battle tonight for that remaining spot.

Luck Abounds!
Good news today for the Phillies on this lucky St. Patty's Day; Cole Hamels' elbow issue is not serious. He got a cortisone injection and should be back to pitching in about 2 days. He may or may not be ready for opening day though, as he'll need time to stretch out his arm and get his pitch count up, but that's ok; the Phillies have options with JA Happ and Chan Ho Park.
The other good news of the day is that the walking wounded have almost all returned to regular play. Chase Utley after hip surgery; Pedro Feliz after back surgery; and pitchers Chad Durbin and Brad Lidge all played in today's rout of the Reds. Utley struck out twice and walked twice, scoring one run; Feliz went 0 for 3. So the bats will take some time to return, but ultimately, just the fact that they are playing in mid-March is great news.
Same goes for Lidge and Durbin; Durbin pitched 1 inning of no hit ball and Lidge also pitched an inning, giving up one run on two hits and a walk in a non-save situation. The Phillies went on to win, 8-1 which in itself can also be seen as a stroke of luck; after being whipped by the Yankees yesterday, 11-0, they needed a big win to get the confidence back.
Brett Myers looked fantastic as he took on the Reds, pitching 5 2/3 innings, surrendering only 4 hits and no runs; he struck out 7 batters. If Myers is needed for Opening Day, it looks like he will be ready.
WBC Highlights
Team USA is currently in the 4th inning of their game against Team Puerto Rico; the winner moves on, the loser is eliminated. The USA is in the lead for the moment, 3-1. Let's hope they brought their lucky shamrocks with them! Jimmy Rollins started the game as the DH and Shane Victorino is in center.
Next up for the Phillies
Wednesday at 1:05pm, the Phillies will take on the Blue Jays at Bright House field in Clearwater, FL.

And The Winner Is…
Shot Of The Day Award: The Phillies beat the Cardinals in the bottom of the 9th today on a Jason Ellison walk-off hit that scored Miguel Cairo from 2nd base. Ellison, a 7-year major league veteran who played for the Rangers, Mariners, Reds and Giants, is trying to make a new home in Philly. Ellison is now batting .222 this spring and the hit today gave him his first RBI. Cairo, on the other hand, has been hot this spring, batting .370 with 4 RBI and 2 home runs. After 13 seasons bouncing around the majors, Cairo signed a minor league deal with the Phillies for 2009.
The Pitching Prowess Award goes to Chan Ho Park, who got the start for the Phils today and managed 4 2/3 solid innings of no-run ball, giving up only 3 hits. It is looking like Park will make a real run at the 5th starters job, with his biggest competition so far, being JA Happ. Park seems determined to win the job, even consulting with Jamie Moyer after his outing to get more advice from the ageless wonder. During an in-game interview, Park joked that he wished he would be able to pitch at Moyer's age. Park displayed some real personality in that interview and is actually a pretty loose and funny guy. Seems he will fit in well here in Philly, whether that be as a starter or in the pen.
Jayson Werth, Greg Dobbs and Cairo each had 2 hits in the game today; Werth does not appear to be bothered by any of the recently reported injuries, which included a hamstring and shoulder soreness. His first inning home run flew straight out of the stadium, over the Tiki Pavillion in left field.
But the real thrill today came when Chase Utley stepped to the plate to lead off the 1st inning for the Phillies. Fans jumped to their feet and cheered, happy to see Utley in his first official grapefruit league action. Utley played 4 innings, and although he did not get a hit in his 2 at bats, he looked very comfortable both at the plate and on the field. Message? Utley will be ready for Opening Day! And so, Utley gets my Comeback of the Spring Award :O)
And the Entertainer of the Day Award goes to…Matt Stairs.
Stairs gave the crowd a giggle when he stole 2nd base in the 8th inning. Probably the slowest guy on the team, Stairs kind of resembles a lumberjack more than a professional baseball player. Known mostly as a power hitter, in his 16 year career, Stairs has hit 254 home runs and stolen only 28 bases….that is 1.75 bases per year, on average. So, seeing him swipe a base during spring action was very entertaining. ;o)
WBC Highlights
Spanking of the Day Award: Team Puerto Rico gave a spanking to Team USA yesterday; final score 11-1. Ouch! Phillies teammates JC Romero (PR), Jimmy Rollins (USA) and Shane Victorino (USA) were on-hand for the beating, although Romero did not pitch in the game. Victorino was 0 for 3 and Rollins played the field but did not get an at-bat. Adam Dunn and Brian McCann each had a pair of hits for Team USA, but the rest of the team pretty much bent over and took the punishment. Team USA will get a shot at redemption tonight when they take on the Netherlands at 7:30pm tonight.
Next up for the Phillies
Monday at 1:15pm, the Phillies will take on the Yankees at George Steinbrenner field as grapefruit league action continues.

Ever wanted them to look like a 1986 video game? Today Google announced Google Maps 8-bit, a map searching tool for the Nintendo Entertainment System that enables the NES to connect to Google using over "100,000 servers." "Our engineering team in Japan understood the importance of maps on retro game systems," said Google Maps software engineer Tatsuo Nomura. "With the power of Google's immense data centers, and support from Nintendo and Square Enix, we were able to overcome the technical and design hurdles of developing 8-bit maps. Today, we're excited to announce the result: a version of Google Maps for NES, with beautiful low-res graphics, simple and intuitive controls, and a timeless soundtrack." While it will be available in the Google App store soon, everyone can try out the 8-bit version of Google Maps now by going to Google Maps and starting your "Quest." Logging In...

• Eli Manning's numbers say he played well. 22 of 35, 259, 4 TD, 2 INT. I thought he had a bad game. On the first series of the game, he threw was should have been an extremely easy pick. How do you drop this?
On the second series, Eli threw a pick 6. That pass was even worse. For one, the receiver wasn't open, but also, the throw was terrible. It was thrown a good two yards behind Jernigan. I've come to expect better from Eli Manning, an I mean that as a compliment, but he's having a rough season. Not that "QB rating" is the end all be all, but here is where Eli ranks in comparison to the rest of the NFL's QBs. Flacco, Kolb, Fitzpatrick… Interesting company:
• I'm convinced that Eli Manning gets away with intentional grounding more than any other QB in the history of the game. Here's the rule, just FYI:
Intentional Grounding of Forward Pass
- Intentional grounding of a forward pass is a foul: loss of down and 10 yards from previous spot if passer is in the field of play or loss of down at the spot of the foul if it occurs more than 10 yards behind the line or safety if passer is in his own end zone when ball is released.
- Intentional grounding will be called when a passer, facing an imminent loss of yardage due to pressure from the defense, throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion.
- Intentional grounding will not be called when a passer, while out of the pocket and facing an imminent loss of yardage, throws a pass that lands at or beyond the line of scrimmage, even if no offensive player(s) have a realistic chance to catch the ball (including if the ball lands out of bounds over the sideline or end line).
At the end of the first half, Eli got away with one of the more obvious intentional grounding calls you'll see. He drops the snap:
Picks it up:
And chucks an awkward looking jump pass:
Here's what the TV screen looked like when the ball hit the ground:
Not that it matters (because the rule book says nothing about a "receiver being in the area"), but Martellus Bennett was standing about two yards deep in the end zone. That pass is nowhere close to him. Clearly intentional grounding. That should have been 2nd and 20 from the 28. Instead it was 2nd and 10 from the 18. A few plays later, touchdown.
• I think it's fair to say David Wilson has some talent. We can agree on that, right?
327 all-purpose yards! That is a new Giants single-game record.
And almost as importantly, he had both hands on the ball in traffic. If you fumble in the NFL, you won't be around long, no matter how talented you are. It seems Wilson is beginning to realize that.
Just what fans of the other NFC East teams need: A talented Giants player with a signature TD celebration:
For the record, I like the backflip. Very retro. Ozzie Smith would be proud:
• I'm a big fan of Will Hill. Here's more on that.
• There was a play where Prince Amukamara horse collared a Saints player:
He then complained that he didn't horse collar him to the officials, and tried to show the officials how he tackled the Saints player. In doing so, he demonstrated a horse collar tackle:
• I remember back in training camp in Albany, I watched Stevie Brown working as a gunner on the punt coverage team. He looked slow. My first thought was, "That guy ain't making the team." Brown now has 7 interceptions this season. That's 2nd in the NFL. He also has 259 INT return yards. That's the most in one season by any Giants player in team history. I won't be earning a scouting job in the NFL anytime soon.
• On a non-current team note: 19.5 sacks for Aldon Smith now. Three games left, one of which is against one of the worst offensive lines ever (Cards). Bye bye sack record, Favr.. er.. Strahan.
• All in all, nice win for the Giants, although I realize a lot of this seems negative. It really was a big win. People like you and I can look at that Saints team and go "Pfft… That team sucks." And maybe they do this year. But that is a team that has owned the Giants in recent years. Always good to beat teams that have had your number. I'll have more the Giants this week, as they have a very interesting matchup in Atlanta on Sunday.

Reduction is the process whereby a species gains electrons from another species. This is also known as the oxidation-reduction pair and one CANNOT occur without the other.
An example of a reduction of a species is as follows:
Zn2+ + 2e- ----> Zn
In this example Zinc ions were reduced (gained electrons) to produce a zinc atom.
And... this is sort of like a math forum. :P

The snowstorm in New England brought historic snowfall to many communities in New England with snow totals in excess of 2 feet. Blizzard warnings along the coast were put in place ahead of high winds that reached 83 miles per hour in Cuttyhunk, MA, 82 in Westport, CT, and 81 in Mount Washington, ME. This movie starts February 6, 2013, and goes through February 10, 2013. The imagery is a mix of visible and infrared channels from GOES East.

Most burritos are belly-busting torpedos loaded with about a week's worth of calories and the kinds of ingredients that keep cardiologists on-call. Portia's game-changing vegan version ain't most burritos — but that doesn't mean it's not a glorious mess to eat.
Instead of a boring old flour tortilla, this biggie arrives in a proprietary gluten-free wrap made with teff, brown rice and coconut oil — it's rather like the semi-spongy (in a good way) Ethiopian bread called injera. Biting through this inspired exterior, you quickly encounter the reassuring jumble of rich, hearty and zesty Tex-Mex goodies that make burritos eminently lovable.
Since this is an open-ended jammed-full sandwich, you encounter those goodies all over your hands. So thick and tangy guacamole might begin to cake your fingers as salsa splashes out. And flavorful black beans and brown rice will stream out (with fresh leaf lettuce strands) in a surprisingly creamy wave of faux dairy that alchemically tastes believable with everything else. Adding even extra heft — along with herby notes — is Portia's sausage-y homemade breakfast patty. Eating this virtuously rarely tasted this sinful.

It's a scenario that almost every child dreams of growing up. It's the ninth inning and your team is down one. The bases are loaded and there are two outs.
In the 2011 World Series, this is a scenario that could certainly play out. There are a number of players that each team would want coming to the plate for them in a situation like this.
These players not only have to be big-time performers, but they also need to be guys that can perform under pressure. Both the St. Louis Cardinals and the Texas Rangers have a number of big names that they would like to have up in this situation, but there are also a few other players who may surprise fans with their ability to getting things done in the clutch.

After limbering up their muscles and completing a classroom cardio routine that left them gasping, the students topped off their workout with an exercise to strengthen their core muscles.
Then the second-graders began their spelling lesson.
Nearly all students at Worthington's Evening Street Elementary School start the day the same way: with a 10-minute aerobics video starring classmates who prod students with the gusto of a gym trainer.
Kindergartners through sixth-graders — no one is spared. Along with jumping jacks and side-bends, they follow exercises the students created, such as an aerobic imitation of picking berries.
The homeroom workout is one of several new fitness initiatives at the school that aim to battle childhood obesity and keep kids alert in class.
"I think, in general, we're taking fitness and nutrition and that sort of thing to a different level across the district," said Vicki Gnezda, a Worthington schools spokeswoman.
Recess at Evening Street has been deemed a time to move, not mill around, and a running and walking club is planned.
Once a month, Evening Street students get a " no-homework day" so they can exercise after school and spend time with their families. Later in the year, winter sledding is planned, and older students will visit a natatorium to swim.
The initiatives stem from a district mandate that each school focus on improving an aspect of education. Evening Street officials chose wellness because rigorous academics and testing goals took a toll on students and their level of physical activity, said Principal Mary Rykowski.
"We were asking them to power down when they came to school," she said. "We asked them to come to school and sit and be still."
Research suggests that exercise in the classroom can help academic performance.
Evening Street's aerobics videos were filmed next door at Thomas Worthington High School.
Officials at Livingston Elementary School in Columbus began using similar videos last year, primarily as an outlet for students from low-income families who live in areas where playing outside isn't always safe.
"It's for the urban kiddos who don't get outside . . . who don't have as much access to the organized sports with costs," said Livingston Principal Melinda Dixon, a former physical-education teacher who created the videos.
Nationwide Children's Hospital is studying the effects of the videos and other exercise efforts at Livingston. Assistant Principal Geno Smith of Thomas Worthington will study students at Evening Street as part of his research on exercise in the classroom.
Parent Rob Mottice said he already has noticed positive results since his fifth-grade son returned to Evening Street this year.
In the past, Mottice said, his son often watched television after school.
"Now he's coming home and riding his bike," Mottice said. "He's more energized."

What IS it with
Have you people ever EATEN them??? Ooooof!
OMG, I've forgotten how to do GIANT letters! That's not too GRITS, is it?
Welcome back, JFri!
and Good morning, everybody else…
There's both fried and pickled herring at "Pearls Before Swine," today, as well as a re-post of my brownie recipe in honour of it being "National Dessert Day," today and brownies being one of my favourite desserts.
On this day in 1940 John Lennon, of Beatles fame, was born. On February 9, 1964 he and George, Paul, and Ringo appeared on the Ed Sullivan show, and thus began the musical "British Invasion" of the mid to late sixties.
good morning and happy wednesday locos Welcome back JFri – we all missed you!! Other things to celebrate today:
Hangeul Proclamation Day in South Korea, Presidential Election in Azerbaijan, Independencia de Guayaquil in Ecuador, and Día de la Comunidad Valenciana in Spain
Good morning all! Welcome back JFri!
I'm not sure what the draw is to grits either. They aren't terrible, but I'd just have a potato I think.
Welcome back JFri. How dare you disappear for so long without giving the Locos notice. It has been tough work, but I have been forced to drink your share of Booker's while you were away.
I thought at first I was in the Archives when I saw who the first poster was.
Hola Locos!
I feel old now! I remember that night and the next day on the playground at school, all of us girls "oohing and awing" and deciding who our favorite Beatle was.
WHOO-HOO! JFRI is back!!
Isn't that GRITS, LOCOS?
Welcome back, stranger. The LOCOS just isn't the same without all it's crazy members.
Now all we need is for Tabby to return.
Hi MARG! How was your time away?
I haven't eaten Grits JFRI. Isn't that GRITS??
Brownies are my favourite dessert too ALEXI.
Happy Wednesday, AKENTA.
There is lots to celebrate today. Another thing to celebrate is that we have another sunny warm day here.
I don't know, JOHNNY. "Have a POTATO DAY" just doesn't make too much sense. GRITS started here I think with MARG or someone posting Grits, as a way to reintroduce the ban on breakfast menus here.
But since ALEXI is allowed to post recipes, perhaps GRITS could be turned in for another greeting, like, "Have a BOOKERS day."

You have options when it comes to getting inside the minds of your customers. You can send a survey, hire a detective, ask a mind reader, etc. But if you've learned anything from the adoption of all things social, it's that your customers are already out there having conversations about your brand, products, and services.
The key is not, then, to bribe them, beg them, trick them into sharing their opinions and preferences with you, but to tap into the conversations that are already happening online.
By providing your customers with a branded customer community, you're facilitating these conversations in a way that's easy for them to navigate and use, and easy for you to track and moderate.
Of course, if you'd like to send out an online survey to collect and respond to one-off responses individually, be our guest. But if you'd like to tap into these conversations in a way that's out-come oriented and allows you to drive trust-building engagement, provide your customers with a branded community.

Please help me store my books
For reasons, most of my books are in long-term storage. Please help me keep them safe. [more inside]
Best way to store paper in non-climate controlled garage
I have a bunch of boxes of books and other paper ephemera to store. I'll store all I can inside the house, but some, surely, will have to go in the garage--good roof, but not climate controlled, and door is drafty. Hot and humid in summer and cold and dry in winter. How to make the best of it? [more inside]
How to manage a too-large collection of foreign language books?
Since I move a lot, I try not to keep too many books. I don't mind getting rid of the English ones. But with the foreign language ones, I get anxious about sunk costs, and how hard they would be to replace... how do I decide what to keep, and what to discard? [more inside]
What climate, temperature, etc. issues do I need to build a "good enough" storage shed for my books?
Please help me design & figure out how to build a "good enough" storage shed for my personal library. What with all the librarians lurking on MetaFilter, I figure that you guys should know the answer (or at least be able to bless me with an abundance of opinions), right? :) [more inside]
Wall-mounted shelving for a tiny room?

What's the best way to display and protect a book? [more inside]
How do I build good bookshelves?
Can any of you folks point me to a good, simple plan for built-in bookshelves? Our book collection has way outgrown the capacity of the bookcases we have, and I'd like to build some bookshelves that are attached to the walls of our house. But the plans I have found in home-improvement books seem too complicated for my (nonexistent) carpentry skills. Here are the tools I've got: a hand-held circular saw, an electric drill, screwdrivers and a hammer. I want something nice-looking and presentable for the public areas of the house; i.e., not a cinderblock solution.
How best to store books?
I need to store about two large bookshelves of books. The problem is two-fold: With an impending addition to the family, I have no space in the house. Additionally, I live in San Francisco where I am worried about ruining the books if I simply place them in boxes in the garage. I need help with storage options. [more inside]
my books are wet, help me save them
Please help me save my books. The movers just dropped off several rooms worth of my pretties, which have been sitting in a storage facility in Kansas for nearly two years. I was, needless to say, ecstatic, until I realized that fully a quarter of the boxes show signs of wetness around the bottom. Looks like they've been sitting in an inch or so of water for Logos knows how long. At least the bottom layer of each box is thoroughly soaked, and stinky. What is my best path at this point to dry out/preserve/resuscitate/de-mildew?

Thanks to its proximity to NYC and Philly, New Jersey is considered a "bedroom community" for commuters. And thanks to Urban Enterprise Zones in the state, small businesses enjoy a lower sales tax rate, which draws customers from miles around.
Both of these situations present unique risks and challenges for Jersey-based small IT businesses, many of which send employees across state lines to service customers.
If you're in the IT business in New Jersey, be sure you carry the right business insurance. Whether you need professional liability coverage, general liability or workers' compensation, TechInsurance has you covered. If you're doing business
in nearby states, TechInsurance's New Jersey insurance experts know all the ins and outs of complying with state regulations for insurance coverage for workers' compensation, and can get you a quote for the coverage you need to protect your

If you're looking for any of the following types of insurance, we've got you covered:
You may have heard this type of coverage called a "BOP," or Business Owner's Policy. This policy packages general liability insurance with property coverage at one affordable rate, giving you protection if a client should be accidentally
injured at your location or if one of your employees causes property damage or bodily injury at a client's site.
Commonly called "errors and omissions" or "E&O" insurance, this type of coverage protects you if your client should claim that mistakes, negligence or omissions you make on the job caused the client a financial loss. For professional
services companies such as IT businesses, this is one type of insurance you shouldn't work without.
Many states require companies with employees to carry workers' comp insurance, which pays for medical care and disability coverage for your employees if they should suffer a work-related illness or injury.
If you have employees, you need EPLI. This type of insurance protects you in the event that one of your employees claims an employment practice violation, such as sexual harassment; wrongful termination; or gender, race or age discrimination.

Some men love to cook. Some don't. But no matter where you fall on that spectrum, you have to eat. And while takeout and ordering in are always options, there are times when even that seems like too much bother-and all you want to do is throw something together. You know-one or two of those superquick, supereasy meals you've been living on for years. The thing you cook when nothing else will hit the spot. The only catch? Many of the most basic recipes in a guy's cooking repertoire - classic comfort foods like mac and cheese and sloppy joes - leave a lot to be desired nutritionally. They're usually high in calories, loaded with fat, and without a shred of fiber or vegetables. But they don't have to be. With a few simple tweaks and substitutions, and the addition of a few healthy ingredients, all your classic mealtime standbys can be converted into great - tasting grub - food you can enjoy without sacrificing your abs.
PB&J Sandwich
Make it better: Switch from white bread to whole-wheat for a boost of as much as 2 grams of fiber per slice. And instead of peanut butter, try one of its cousins. Cashew and almond butter taste just as good in a sandwich and have significantly more fiber and vitamin E. Finally, in place of sugar-laden jelly, add a layer of fresh fruit. Slices of banana or strawberries are lower in calories and significantly higher in metabolism-boosting, disease-fighting nutrients than plain old jelly.
Make it better: Although you don't have to lose them all, try ditching at least a couple of the yolks from whatever you're scrambling up. One egg yolk contains 55 calories and 5 grams of fat, while an egg white has just 17 calories and zero grams of fat. (Egg substitutes like Egg Beaters make going yolk-free even easier.) Next, instead of melting butter in the pan, invest in a good nonstick skillet and coat it with cooking spray. Your eggs won't cling to the bottom, and for every tablespoon of butter you avoid using, you save yourself about 100 calories and 12 grams of fat. To make your omelet even leaner, fill it with a handful of low-fat shredded cheese and whatever veggies you have on hand. (Try stashing a bag of spinach or broccoli in your freezer specifically for omelet-making. You can pull out a handful, defrost it, and toss it into your eggs for instant omelet filling.)

Casazza family from Torriglia, Genova
I want to write to Torriglia to see if they have birth info on my ggggrandmother. I obtained the info of ber birth city from her tombstone so I do not know how accurate it is. Not to mention, on her death certificate it states her parents' last names were Casazza, but this was also her married name. Is that a likely thing? She married her husband after arriving in NY. I do not know what region of Italy her husband came from just that he was born there. Can it hurt to try?
Does anyone have the archives address in Torriglia?
Does anyone have the archives address in Torriglia?
Italian woman never losse their dientity and when she arrived in the USA, if she was single, her name would be as if she was a single girl (even if she was married when she arrived since all her documents would be in her maiden name). It is quiter possible that she married someone surnamed Casazza even if her name was Casazza so if you wish to try write IN ITALIAN and rerquest the documents you wish by wirting to the Ufficio di Stato Civile, Comune di Torriglia, Provionce of Genova 16029, Liguria, Italy.

A Conditionally Essential Amino For Protein Synthesis!
Glutamine is one of the most versatile of all amino acids, and among the top aminos used by elite athletes. Among its many functions, supports protein synthesis and protein degradation, functions as a nitrogen precursor and transfer, supports cellular hydration, supports growth hormone production, maintains acid balance, supports a healthy immune system, is an energy precursor and supports glycogen production in the liver. In short, glutamine is both anabolic and anti-catabolic. Glutamine accounts for about 60% of the body's total intramuscular free amino-acid pool and 20% of the total circulating amino acids. Unlike almost all other aminos, glutamine contains two nitrogen atoms. Because of this additional nitrogen atom, glutamine is called a nitrogen shuttle. Glutamine transports nitrogen where the body needs it most.

|Sonny and Will's Confusion
|Tweet Topic Started: Feb 7 2013, 07:24 PM (6,544 Views)
|Feb 7 2013, 07:24 PM Post #1
The latest issue of SOD has an article about Will and Sonny. Will gets an unexpected package from Sonny. He assumes it's a sign that Sonny wants to reconcile. The gift is an MP3 player. Will takes it with him to the coffeehouse to thank Sonny. Will is embarrassed when Sonny reveals he actually ordered it before they broke up. The two end up bonding over the music Sonny chose. However, their moment is disrupted when Brian shows up for his date with Sonny.
For all the details, pick up the most recent issue of SOD!

A ring would have been better than an mp3 player, but I'm still hoping that the rings from the JustMensRings.com press release will come into play soon enough. (I'm assuming that two of the rings will be for Will and Sonny.)
Now I can't wait to see what Sonny finds the following week, since it seems like that might be what causes him to realize that he still wants to be with Will. My first instinct is that he finds one of two things:
- a letter that Will wrote weeks before the wedding but ultimately decided not to give to Sonny. The letter reveals that Will is the father of Gabi's baby, leading Sonny to realize just how much it had been killing Will to keep that information from him.
- something that makes Sonny realize that Will believes that Sonny and Brian have slept together, leading Sonny to realize that Brian's a jerk.

An MP3 player? Really?
|Feb 7 2013, 07:56 PM Post #13
It's akin to a mixed tape.

Never in my life have I seen someone have to make multiple phone calls to order a mix tape.

Oh shit tahts what i just said hehehehheh :P
|Feb 7 2013, 08:15 PM Post #16
That's why I was convinced this was a ring. I understand the MP3 player as very sweet gift as people do give each other favorite songs as gifts. But to go through an ordering process like this for the player :lol: ??? I mean how is an MP3 player a special order?
But I am am liking that Will and Sonny are least getting real angst like any other couple and that Brian isn't out of the picture yet. Seems to me Sonny won't be having a very good time with Brian as he will probably be thinking about Will. Though I do wonder if he we even see the date or if it's just the fact that Will sees Brian pick Sonny up? Unless he runs into Tad at the end and is when he talks with Tad since he's supposed be on with Sonny coming up.

I'm pretending this "MP3 Player" is an iPod Touch. In which case this would be a great gift if loaded with music that means something to the couple. Maybe they just don't want to promote Apple? Who knows?
Anyway, I like the idea of Will and Sonny getting closer and having Brian come between them again. I'm really liking Brian, for what he is, an interloper. He doesn't annoy me at all and he's a good actor.

Yeah but didn't the article indicate all of the rings would be shown on one single episode? If so that counts Wilson out of being involved in one of the 5 rings since the gift for this episode is an MP3 player. But hey that was probably more money than the $30 promise ring on that ring website :lol: .

"A Tale of Two Technocracies: The Diverging Paths of Europe's Crisis Countries"
Op-Ed, The New Republic
January 30, 2012
Author: Pierpaolo Barbieri, Associate, Applied History Project
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security
Though the continent's collected prime ministers will no doubt again pledge to do all that's within their powers to preserve the grandeur of the European Union when they meet today in Brussels, the continent's fate ultimately rests on the quiet, technocratic governments of Italy and Greece. Unfortunately, those administrations have since seen their fortunes diverge considerably. It's worth noting, however, that their respective failures and successes have been entirely predictable (if not entirely preventable.)
Take Italy first. Mario Monti's administration in Rome could have hardly hoped for a better outcome since taking office....

Learmonth, M. and Humphreys, M. (2012) 'Autoethnography and academic identity : glimpsing business school doppelgangers.', Organization., 19 (1). pp. 99-117.
Throughout our adult lives we have both been haunted by a certain sense of doubleness—a feeling of dislocation, of being in the wrong place, of playing a role. Inspired by Stevenson's novel Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde we explore this doubleness through evocative, dual, autoethnographic accounts of academic conferences. By analysing our stories in an iterative process of writing, reading, rewriting and rereading, we seek to extend the reach of much recent autoethnographic research. Presenting ourselves as objects of research, we show how, for us, contemporary academic identity is problematic in that it necessarily involves being (at least) 'both' Jekyll and Hyde. In providing readings of our stories, we show how autoethnography can make two contributions to the study of identity in organizations. The first is that autoethnographic accounts may provide scholars with new forms of empirical material—case studies in identity work. The second contribution highlights the value of experimenting with unorthodox approaches—such as explicitly using novels and other literary sources to study identity.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
A small Mantella. Small specimens of slender appearance, large specimens rather stout, 17-24 mm (F 23-24 mm). Head, dorsum and posterior part of flanks yellow, orange or light green, sometimes (mainly in the yellowish specimens) with fine black spots. Sometimes an indistinct dark middorsal line and traces of a diamond marking. Head laterally, and anterior flanks generally black (black pattern can be largely reduced in some specimens), with a sharp dorsolateral colour border. Light frenal stripe present, often interrupted in the yellowish specimens. Bright red flashmarks present. Iris with some light pigment in its upper part. Ventrally black with a variable number and extension of grey to bluish-white or yellowish markings, sometimes fusing to form an irregular network. Horseshoe marking present and mostly distinct, but poorly expressed in some specimens. Hindlimbs sometimes uniformly orange or reddish ventrally, except the red ventral flashmark extension on the tibia. In other specimens, orange colour only present on tibia (except flashmark area); foot, tarsus and femur being black with grey-whitish markings.
Similar species: The colouration of typical M. crocea is unique, but other populations show all intermediates between M. crocea and M. milotympanum. A reliable distinction of these two forms is therefore not possible.

source, before the raid, a police officer smelled marijuana odor coming from the bus, when it was being parked in the front of Grand Hotel where Justin Bieber was staying. Then, the police officer contacted the narcotics unit, and a warrant to search the bus was issued. Shortly after the raid, the Swedish police announced that they had found a small amount of illegal substance in the bus. The officials did not describe what type of illegal substance was found in the bus, but according to local newspapers, it was marijuana. After the raid, Justin Bieber tweeted "Some of the rumors about me…where do people even get this stuff." He also added "Whatever…back to the music." Fortunately, the police said that no one from Justin Bieber's entourage will be charged (yet), because it is hard to tell who own the illegal substance before it was left on the bus.Justin Bieber is currently in Europe for his tour. And when the young pop star was performing in a concert at Stockholm's Globe arena, the Swedish police stormed his bus and searched for illegal substance. According to a

Justin Bieber Will Give Up Mally the Capuchin
We all know that Justin Bieber used to have several pets, but he gave them away to his fans. The last one was a hamster that he gave to a random fan, who later said that she will take a good care of the little animal. It seems that Justin Bieber will have to lose another pet soon. The young pop star brought his 17-week-old capuchin monkey named Mally on his tour. But when he landed in Munich, at the Franz Josef Strauss Airport, he failed to provide all the required papers for the monkey. So, the capuchin monkey was seized by customs authorities.
Since being seized by the customs authorities, Mally has been kept at the Munich Animal Protection League shelter. According to the shelter's representative, her office had received two emails that appear to be from Justin Bieber's management. The first email asked how long Justin Bieber's management had to provide all the required papers before the monkey would be euthanized. The second email said they are currently looking for a great place for Mally in a zoo in Germany, and that the management is very concerned that the little monkey is safe and be placed in the best residence possible.
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez – One of the Most Confusing Celebrity Couples
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are probably back together, which is quite a surprise because not too long ago, Selena Gomez said to David Letterman that she was being "so good" without Justin Bieber. And because of their unclear relationship status, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez made it to the list of the most confusing celebrity couples made by Sodahead. Other celebrity couples included on the list are Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth, Rihanna and Chris Brown, Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, and Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne. Well, these celebrity couples are probably confused with their relationship themselves.

Price paid: $ 2165.94
Purchased from: Topsound
Features: Made in USA. It has a mid-depth semi-parabolic bowl, made of Lyrachord (a mix of composite materials), AA-grade solid Sitka spruce top, scalloped LX bracing, hand-inlaid epaulets and gold tuners. The neck is made of mahogany/maple and it has an ebony fingerboard. The guitar is equipped with an original patented pickup and an OP-PRO preamp w/chromatic tuner. My guitar has a black cherryburst finish which looks absolutely beautiful. Specially designed hard case was included. // 10
Sound: Unplugged, the sound is loud, bright and well-balanced with a great projetion. Some people may think it lacks some warmth, but that's just how these Ovation-guitars should sound. Suits for fingerpicking as well as strumming chords. Plugged in, the sound is amazing! One of the best electro-acoustic sounds available in my opinion. The OP-PRO preamp offers a lot of versatility to the sound and it can instantly move from mellow tones to rawer tones. I normally play it unplugged, but when plugged-in, I usually play it through Vox AD60VT combo. Sometimes I use the built-in effects (mostly chorus and reverb) of the AD60VT and it sounds very nice with them. You can even try to add some distortion to the sound. The result can be pretty interesting. // 10
Action, Fit & Finish: The neck is very comfortable which is one of the reasons I bought this guitar. The finish on the top is very shiny and beautiful and the epaulets offer a nice addition to the looks of this guitar. The only flaw that I can find is that the preamp seems to be a bit loose and often when I push or turn the controls I can hear an odd creaking sound. To be more precise it's actually the case of the preamp which is loose. Fortunately it doesn't hinder the use of the preamp and the case doesn't seem to be coming off so I should have nothing to worry about. I haven't seen this happening on any other Ovation guitar so I'm pretty sure that my guitar has just had a hit in the guitar shop or something. // 9
Reliability & Durability: I haven't played live with it, but I can't see any reason why it wouldn't withstand live playing. The strap buttons seem to be very solid. All the hardware seems to be very sturdy too and the tuners are great. I can go weeks without tuning it. Although, when I have to tune it, its great built-in tuner really helps. I just hope that preamp casing won't come off. // 9
Overall Impression: I just love everything about this guitar, the sound, the looks and the easy playabilty. I have tried all kinds of styles with this guitar and it has covered them all very well. I have been playing guitar about two and a half years and owned one acoustic before this, but it can't be even compared to this. I also own two electric guitars. If this guitar was stolen I would chase down the thief and get my guitar back, but also congratulate HIM for the great choice when choosing exactly this guitar model. This guitar has the looks and the sound and it offers all this for a fair price (at least in USA). But of course I must advise you to try one for yourself, because these guitars have a quite distinctive sound, which may not please everyone. // 10
Price paid: $ 1300
Purchased from: Guitar Center
Features: My axe of love was a 2007, made in the USA. AA spruce top. Exotic woods surrounding resonating chamber holes, gold hardware, natural finish, mother of pearl inlays, mojo, op pro preamp, built in tuner, and came with a case. The preamp has gain lows highs and mids. There is also a preset shape button that needs to be on in my opinion. // 10
Sound: I play jazz, funk, acoustic, and two hand tapping stuff, and it all sounds great. You have enough control to have high highs or low lows. No matter what your preference it's good. Fully acoustic with a set of Brand New Martin marquis and it sounds scrumdiddliumshes. I also do a lot of slap, and it has a great punch. You need to have the shape on though. If you go raw it doesn't sound good. Just in case you don't know, the shape that I am speaking of is built in so no worries. // 10
Action, Fit & Finish: The guitar was horribly set up. Normally all of the crappy ovations in the stores had great action, but this one I ordered so the Ovation reps that go to the stores for maintenance never got there hands on it. The finish is very thick. There was also a bad neck set at the heel, and burrs on the bridge. As far as the bad neck set, it is covered by the warranty, but I need to pay to ship it back to them which is bull mother fuc*ing sh*t cr*p whore! The bad neck set caused the strings to hit the bridge, and I can't get the action below about 3 to 4 mm at the twelfth fret on the Low E string and I want 2mm. // 5
Reliability & Durability: I play out with this guitar all the time, and it never messed up, but it is still a baby. The burrs on the bridge cause it to pop D strings left and right. I don't know if this is a common problem, but it wouldn't surprise me because the bridges have a triangle shape and seem a little too sharp, but I could be wrong. // 7
Overall Impression: I play funk, acoustic, reggae, psychedelia, Indie, blues, jazz, and it kick ass for all of it. I have been playin for 7 years. If it was lost or stolen I would probably either get another one or a really good Martin because I got a little more money now. I love how beautiful it is, and how crisp it sounds. I hate the customers service and the 3 1/2mm action, but that is better than a Taylor or a Martin. I wish it had a hawaii water fountain on it. // 9

EDITORS' DISCLAIMER: Cracked does not endorse eating the below foodstuffs for the express purpose of getting high, as the side effects are usually horrible enough to make you forget you were high in the first place. Thus the information in this article should only be used for scintillating chitchat at cocktail parties and around the office.
7Rye Bread
Rye grain is occasionally infected with the ergot fungus. Ergot contains several psychoactive chemicals such as ergotamine, a compound used in the synthesis of LSD. So if some day your half-eaten sandwich suddenly sprouts a mouth and prophesizes doom for the human race, you'll know why.
The Downside
Ergot outbreaks are rare so eating a Reuben will most likely not turn you into Hunter S. Thompson at the Kentucky Derby. In the off chance that you're a crazed miller who really, really wants to get high on tainted grain, be forewarned that an ergot infection is roughly one part psychosis, two parts gangrenous sores.
But most modern farmers clean their rye in a potassium chloride solution to guard against, something medieval farmers never did. Thus, the inbred masses of yore lived unaware that their daily bread contained "holy fire," ye olde term for ergotism. And since entire villages often got their bread from the same miller, an outbreak could lead to an entire town full of hallucinating people, completely unaware that they and everyone around them was on the equivalent of bad acid (And if you think this sounds hilarious, stick around for the fun fact about the time it happened to a Puritan town in Massachusetts). Between the "holy fire" and your ancestors' tendency to binge drink in the absence of potable water, it's a miracle we got out of the Dark Ages.
Fun Fact
Modern historians blame ergotism for a slew of old-timey panics and superstitions, ranging from werewolves to the Salem Witch Trials. British author John Grigsby even speculates that the legend of Beowulf came from stoned Vikings who "inhaled the holy fire."
Nutmeg, that piquant brown spice you sprinkle on egg nog, is chock full o' the organic compound myristicin. Eating four to eight teaspoons of ground nutmeg causes mild hallucinations, warmth in the limbs ...
The Downside
... dizziness, nausea, cottonmouth, paranoia, difficulty urinating and, the coup de grace, a hangover that feels like God taking a dump on your soul.
Some users compare the nutmeg "high" to a hellish case of the flu. To make things worse, nutmeg consumption is easily the most inconvenient way to get high--its effects kick in five to six hours after ingestion. That's like having to drink a six-pack at lunch in anticipation of happy hour.
Fun Fact
For those of you who who want to push your luck with nutmeg, don't worry. The FDA reportedly has no plans to raid your spice rack. Probably because they're assuming nobody is dumb enough to give it a go. Once you've crossed a certain threshold of stupidity where do you stop? You're going to have to start cracking down on spinning around in circles really fast and smelling your own burrito farts.

Mike Shanahan has developed many strategies upon his arrival as coach. One of them is competition. At almost every position, athletes on the roster have been competing with their teammates during training camp.
With a team like the Redskins, this is a great thing to have.
Without getting too negative, the Skins record has been poor, very poor. Sure there has been some great player development over the years, but they still aren't winning ballgames, which is of the utmost importance.
In general, it appears the Redskins coaches play no favorites. Each player is treated the same and patience is often stressed.
With a youth movement taking over at Redskins Park, training camp will be a tryout to many veterans who could be fighting for their jobs, whether it's due to poor play or contract issues. Either way, Skins fans might be saying goodbye to some of their favorite players.
Below is a list of 10 veterans who could be in that particular position. To avoid any controversy, I am not saying that these individual players will be released—I'm just evaluating the possibility.

I need help defining the following very large exponent:
10,000 ^ 13,766,400
No doubt, this number is astronomical...but surely (hopefully) it can be expressed with scientific notation. The calculation has maxed out my TI-83 as well as any online calculator designed to handle large calculations. I do not consider myself to be mathematically inclined, so I have no way of knowing whether or not I am asking for something absurd. I appreciate any help in this matter.
You should not need a calculator for this just the definition of scientific notation and the laws of exponents.
(most calculators and computer languages are limited to decimal exponents of 3 or less digits, some not being able to handle even 3 digits)

Black-Owned Businesses on Weather Economic Downturn
Shantella Y. Sherman | 12/29/2008, 11:34 a.m.
Berhanu said businesses of color tend to be more successful, despite their limited access to resources, because they find a niche and cultivate it rather than attempting to do what others do. Relief should be coming with the change of political leaders and more confidence in the dollar, according to Berhanu.
€The hope with most business owners is that with a new president in office and some relief coming from lowered gas prices, that the euphoria and psychological effect of optimism would cause people to splurge, or at least to consider shopping a little,€ Berhanu said.
Berhanu, who recently added the bookstore to the caf, said it is imperative that Black business owners think outside of the box and be willing to take risks, even during calmer economic trends, to ensure success.
€We€re trying to build an alternative economic system. We are trying to keep our money circulating within our communities,€ Berhanu said. €For instance, we choose to use a Black distribution company and we continue to promote films by African, Latin American, and Brazilian filmmakers that are great stories and which provide the audience with lessons in life.€
This becomes part of the challenge when national and online retailers like Amazon.com are factored into the overall business strategy of African American business owners. Still, with an eye on competitive pricing and firsthand knowledge of what their consumers desire, Black businesses adapt easily and maintain the type of fluidity that keeps them in business when others close.
€Our job is to educate the minds and so we continue to have people come to us, rather than go to other places. It€s comfortable here and that is good for business,€ Berhanu said.
A recent report by Global Entrepreneurship Monitor found that despite the economy, African Americans continue to outpace members of other racial and ethnic groups at starting new businesses.

BRIDGEPORT — The 2013-14 fiscal year is two weeks away and already there is potential trouble on the horizon for Housatonic Community College along with the 11 other community colleges in the state. A 4 percent increase from the state along with a 5.23 percent increase in tuition will only cover contractual salary increases. The Board of Regents for Higher Education approved the budget this week.
Housatonic Community College President Anita Gliniecki described the new budget as "bare bones."
As of now, Housatonic will maintain its library hours and hopes to maintain tutoring capabilities by changing some of the delivery, according to Gliniecki . "Any unanticipated event such as the storms we had last year or equipment failure will have us go negative as there is no money to cover those costs," Gliniecki said.
