Discussion in 'November 2007' started by Dlev59, Nov 17, 2007.
Yea, Joe has to fix things by FIRE FLIP!!!
Thanks for the recaps folks. I mssed this one attending the Auto Show and some how or another my DVR didn't tape it. Looks like that 5-1 start was fools gold and we need to teach these guys how to play some defense or get some replacements. How did we allow all five teams on this west coast trip to score over 100 points after holding first five back east to under 100? Did the red uniforms suck the defense out of them?? If so please dump those red unis over the rockies on the way home.
Look at the 8 minutes Amir played with the starters in the first quarter. We were about plus 10 there. A lot of that was Amir running the floor, getting under the basket, and forcing Sacramento to address him thru the whole possesion. As for Amir not shooting. You got to remember, if any of these young guys shoot the ball, it will make the coach mad, and he will yank their minutes. Saunders barely tolerates that they even get playing time.
Perhaps the Pistons have come down with Defensive Mono. Infectious Mononucleosis-Topic Overview Blue text added for emphasis.
I had mono once. It sucked.
The team seems to be polarized right now. We have 5 amazing vets, Billups, Rip, Tay, Sheed, and Dyess and we have 5 highly talented, but inexperienced younger players, Stuckey, Afflalo, JMax, Amir, and Samb. We have the trade bait, Nazr, Dupree, and Flip, and a player who should retire, Hunter. Hayes is sort of the only in-between player. He's young, but experienced. Sort of a hired gun for this season only. So I guess the more I think about it, the more I think we need to create 2 different lines with a mixture of old and new. The "best starting five" in bball seems to have trouble motivating. The new breed doesn't know how to do it on their own yet. When you add Murray or Nazr in with them, it makes it even worse. It is tough to ask a guy like Rip to come off the bench. It would take some leadership by Saunders to implement a plan like this. But I guess I would like to see the old and new mixed. Billups Afflalo Prince Johnson Sheed Stuckey Hamilton Hayes JMax Dyess Flip, Samb, and Nazr could be inserted as needed. Then have the usual starting 5 finish the games. I know it will not happen, but I think that someone like Popovich would consider it.
OK first of all, get off of Flip M. Beno lit us up in the 3rd qtr, Chuancey's qtr. Flip did not even play in the 3rd qtr. Flip played in the 4th and was the only Piston who was even trying to get into the lane. The moment Billups returned we tanked. I played the Point from 1st grade until sophmore year of college, so I watch that position like a hawk, last night this team was better with Flip on the floor. There was alot of bad stuff going on last night but don't gimme none of that Flip M bailout BS, dude played a solid game off the bench in the 2nd half as he deferred to Hayes in the 1st half stint. Now....This will be my rant all year long...."Bench Rip for AA" not as a demotion, but because the team is better when everyone is involved. We have stars taking on role player roles and that is not good. Rip and Chauncey are starting to play 2 on 5, and every now and then they let Sheed in on the game. Tay has to get his by luck and not design, while Dyess is lucky to touch the ball every 5th time down court. Rip and Chauncey are starting to remind me alot of Mobley and Francis back in the day.
By the way, if we are planning on trading Flip Murray, then we are doing a great job showcasing him right now. His trade value must be higher than it was over the summer because of his recent play. I don't want to see an extended benching period before we decide to move him. I'm also cool with keeping him, cause he is more valuable than Dupree, Hunter, and Nazr to us.
I think we should start showcasing Flip M. in this forum so that all those web-saavy GM's and scouts will want to trade their best players to us for him. Here goes: Did you see Ronald play last night? Boy, was he on the ball! SURE HOPE JOE DOESN'T TRADE THIS GUY! HE'S THE KIND OF PLAYER WHO WILL WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS!! How was that?
We can't let Flip Jr. go until Stuckey is healthy and integrated in the rotation. If something happens with Chauncey, we have only Tay left to run the point. I don't think he can handle it for the extended period.
I've been doing my best. For some reason, the others keep sabataging my plan.
There is something wrong attitudinally with this team. They are not playing the team game. No one is consistently going to the hoop. Not enough passing. Low energy when it requires extra energy. Players deferring to the same old shooters, whether or not they are hitting or not hitting. There is no one we can count on to make a shot when we need one. When Rip and Chauncey are having bad games they still get the crucial shots at the end. Where is the defensive energy? This team is badly in need of a shake up. Joe, do what you do best.
We want Afflalo We want Afflalo We want Afflalo We want Afflalo Have we started the AAHOF club yet?? If not I am now appointing myself as President/CEO/Dictator. In all seriousness, I really believe him starting would help this team. As I mentioned before and will continue to mention Rip & Chauncey have turned into the new Francis & Mobley. I forgot who posted it but I would love to see a starting unit of: Sheed AJ Tay AA Billups 2nd Unit Flip/Stuckey Rip Hayes Maxiel Dyess We could then mix in the best unit at the end of halves.
Co-signed. It's become an unhealthy relationship IMO.
Roscoe, you know as well as anyone that if it ain't rough, it ain't right.
You do realize that is per the coach? Saunders dictates which players are allowed to shoot. If you don't have the green light, you will not continue playing if you shoot the ball more than maybe twice a game.
Sounds good to me. I am going to post a rotation in the rotations thread that is similar.
That's like a pebble trying to hold back a tidal wave. FLIP M + CHAMPIONSHIP = 10 posts (usually includes key words like: won't, never, can't, and not) FLIP M + SUCKS = 10,000 hits
I prefer the neurotic, "they are always out to get us, its always a battle" instead of the "we'll play hard when our backs are against the wall".
Dare I say it but I think the Pistons are starting to play a really boring style of basketball. They have no fluid motion and to be truthful I don't get as much of a kick out of watching them play like I did for the last few years. Maybe it's because I grit my teeth and grind them down when Nazr and Flip Jr. are in there. I want my old Pistons back where they played determined and sometimes maniacal defense. Joe D. needs to make a few trades and play the young-uns more. No I don't want Kobe Bryant but a trade is always a good thing and no one is expendable. Rip Hamilton is a great complementary player and he's our most valuable trade bait so I would put him on the block first. Stuckey is a more natural 2 guard and when he gets back let him have the spot with Hayes and Affalo backing up our guards. So get-er-done Joe or else this team is going to slide into mediocrity very soon. If Rip is traded then Tay can move up to the 2nd option on scoring and he'll be an all-star this year guaranteed.
Separate names with a comma.

You hav eno clue what he was looked like seeing as how he WASNT EVNE PLAYING
You've lost by all of your own requirements. Now your just trying to "Generalize" to save face in the argument[/quote]
it's ok....because I got you to look at what constitutes a #3 WR my way...and that's more important then winning or losing on this one particular instance
Have a good day matt!
lol i just went to beat you at your own game.. i still say WR rankings 1-4 are based mostly on production
I also disagree with your assessment that you have to have the more snaps to be somebody that a defense will look to take out...
go look at New Orleans with what they od with Lance Moore and Reggie Bush and Darren Sproles.... they def got more attnetion when they are on the field but they def don't play the most snaps at their position.

Rexburg man arrested on child enticement charge
REXBURG, Idaho - A 24-year-old Rexburg man is being held on $30,000 bond on charges of attempting to entice a girl under the age of 16.
Zachary Landon Farrer was arrested Friday in a Rexburg police Internet sting operation.
Police began investigating last week after an adult found a solicitation aimed at a young Rexburg girl. They said Farrer was using the Internet to converse with females, including minors.
Police posed as the young girl and set up an appointment to meet him. Officers said Farrer was fully aware the girl he would meet was under 16. He was arrested when he showed up for the appointment.
Experts are analyzing Farrer's cell phone and computer as investigation continues.

Also Lang discusses extreme measures.
We all know the refs are an issue, but you can't blame them for your team only scoring 12 points, with that said you might like this tid bit of information, McCoy, running back for the Eagles said one of the refs before the game told him he better up his game because he had him on his fantasy team, and some fo the refs hired were fired by the lingeree bowl, that is a fact not a joke.
Forget the Past, Live for the Future!
sad over pension and adding more offficails so they can get rid of some
Adding additional refs to replace refs that aren't performing is called accountability.

Suite Life On Deck star Debby Ryan is bidding farewell to the high seas and heading to dry land. The 18-year-old actress stars in the new series Jessie, premiering tonight on Disney Channel, about a small-town Texas girl who moves to bustling New York City. To make ends meet, Jessie takes a job as a nanny to the four unruly Ross children: bubbly Emma, cultured Ravi, mischievous Luke and imaginative Zuri. Along with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ross, the energetic siblings take Jessie on a ride she won't soon forget!
TFK sat down with Ryan at ABC Studios, in New York City, recently. Keep reading to see what she says about her new adventures in babysitting, and about leaving the Suite Life behind. (Click here, or scroll down, to watch a video interview with the actress.)
With Jessie, you're working with a new cast, a new set, new everything. What is it like?
It's amazing. It's unlike anything I've ever done before. We have a lot of confidence in it. I helped pull together the cast and crew, and I helped design the styles. It's fresh, and it's a little more sophisticated. It's something that's cool for the younger ones, but it's also cool for people my age that grew up watching Suite Life and are now a little bit older. There's hip fashion and witty humor. We have a little bit of everything.
Jessie is a military kid, like yourself. Do you draw from your own experiences to play this character?
I do draw a bit from my own experience. I feel like there's a certain resourcefulness that comes from growing up around a military base. Jessie always talks about making her own clothes and embroidering things. I'm sort of like that myself. Also, I've been babysitting since I was young. I love kids. Jessie's a little overwhelmed. She takes care of four kids—
Four very rambunctious (energetic) kids!
Yes! Three of them are adopted, so they have four different personalities and four different cultures. One of them has a seven-foot lizard! Things are a bit crazy, but Jessie can juggle them.
What's it like working with that seven-foot lizard?
It's an alligator with lips! It's large, and it doesn't move very much, but when it does, it can book. So we are always very careful around him. The lizard's real name is Frank; he plays Mr. Kipling on the show. Some of the kids prefer not to be close to him. Some of them dig it. Frank goes to the bathroom a lot on set, which slows things down.
What kinds of adventures can we expect in this season?
Well, the parents have a private helicopter, so the kids may or may not sneak onto the roof and try to fly that. The lizard could possibly get loose in the apartment building and have a crazy chase scene. There are tons of [scenes] where I'm dangling from the landing skids of the helicopter, and I'm trying not to get my fingers bit off by a local dog.
So, there are lots of adventures, then.
Lots of adventures. There are rival nannies at the park, kids picking on the Ross kids… A lot of times, Jessie tells these kids that they can rise to a challenge. In the first episode, Emma has a science fair. She's working really hard on her project, but she loses her motivation. Jessie says, "Listen, you may have given up, and you may feel like everyone else has given up on you, but I know you can do this. I'm going to be cheering you on from the sidelines." And she is. Jessie may forget their lunches sometimes, but at the end of the day, everyone's healthy and growing. I feel that makes her the best nanny.
Mr. Ross is a famous movie director, which opens the door for some famous guest stars. Who would you like to see on the show?
I would love to see Tina Fey or Emma Stone or Kristen Wiig [on the show]. We joke about Taylor Lautner a lot. We joke that Jessie's very "Team Jacob," and there are a few of those references. Emma is as well. Ellen DeGeneres could be really fun!
Why do you think kids should watch the show?
You can tell when you're watching a show sometimes that it's a bunch of adults making a show [based on] what they think kids like. This show is by me. My mark and my stamp are on the jokes, the fashion and the humor. It has respect to Laverne and Shirley and I Love Lucy and other classic sitcoms. But it also puts a new little twist on it. We're definitely popping it up a little bit. We're doing things that I think people haven't really seen before.
October is National Anti-Bullying Month. You've been very open about your experiences with bullying. Can you talk a little bit about what you faced?
I moved around a lot, so I didn't ever have a core group of friends growing up. I was in public school, private school, and home school... I didn't know who I was back then, and people sensed that. My second week in public school in the U.S., I was like, "Finally! I'm going to have a normal life, I'll have friends, and it'll be great." But people were really fake-nice to me, and I realized that they were really making fun of me. One boy tripped me in the hallway, and my papers flew out of my hands. It seemed like everything was moving in slow motion as I hit the ground. Everyone was laughing and walking away.
What advice do you have for kids who are bullied?
It's going to get better. I promise it does. There are always going to be people who want you to feel bad about yourself, so that they can feel great about themselves. But if you're comfortable with yourself, it won't matter what [the bullies] say. Also, people need to know that they're cared about. It only takes a few seconds to open a door and let someone go in front of you. Or, to pick up something that someone dropped. [Kindness] really does make people's day.

From the UTSA Art Collection:
"La Familia de Quetzal" by Luis Lopez, oil on canvas
UTSA artwork must be moved by designated staff
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(April 8, 2009)--If your office is moving, and there is UTSA-owned artwork on the walls -- don't pack the art or move it yourself. Or, if you want artwork in your office changed, don't take it down.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
According to university policy, UTSA-owned art can be packed and moved only by personnel designated by the Office of the President. Attempting to remove artwork by unauthorized staff members can cause damage to the valuable artwork and to the wall.
To determine if artwork in your area is university-owned or to make arrangements to relocate it, call Arturo Almeida, UTSA art specialist, at (210) 458-4983.
UTSA-owned art is defined as items acquired through the UTSA Public Art Committee or purchased for public display by the UTSA Office of the President, excluding Texas Folklife Festival posters.
For more information, contact Jon Mosel, capital asset manager, at (210) 458-6130.
Policies and procedures related to removal of art
(from Fiscal Management Operations Guide, UTSA Inventory Department)
- University-owned art is acquired, distributed and positioned at the discretion of the president. Whereas, the property manager is responsible for all art, art is distributed to the Main, Downtown and HemisFair Park campuses for the benefit and enjoyment of all visitors, faculty, staff and students to the campuses, and therefore it is the indirect responsibility of all individuals to report any damage or theft to the UTSA Police Department.
- Art that is positioned in a department or common area of the university may not be relocated without the prior approval of the president. This includes relocation from one wall to another in an area or to another area. Only those personnel authorized by the president may handle art for any reason. In the event that the current positioning has become insecure and presents a risk of damage or theft, the property manager should be notified immediately to have the situation remedied.
- Art may not be removed from the UTSA campuses without advance approval from the capital asset manager. Art is only to be transported by authorized personnel.

Big win for the M's today on the back of King Felix (and a solo HR by Kennedy).
Felix was in form tonight, going 7.2 innings, with 8 Strikeouts, only 4 hits and 3 walks, all on 126 pitches!
This was Felix's 2nd win of the 2011 season, a much needed one. All he needed to carry the club to victory was given to him in the 4th inning when Kennedy hit his 2nd HR in as many days. Kennedy has been a bright spot in the lineup lately, hitting .316 on the season so far!
In other news, Peguero got his 1st major league hit tonight, an infield single of all things! He certainly runs well for a big guy (6'5''). His power in the minors is well documented so far and I am excited about it but with such a big looping swing, we are sure to see a lot of SO's from him as well (something that was a problem in the minors as well. Maybe they can shorten that swing a little bit. That should only sacrifice a little power but he could make more contact and the more solid contact he makes, the better. Also worth mentioning, he did get picked off from 1B after his single after he slipped a little.
Though we did win the game, aside from the HR and Felix's pitching performance, there was not too much to be happy about as the M's were only able to eek out 4 hits on the night (and 1 walk). Of course, part of this is because the Athletics starter McCarthy was on fire tonight as well, going the distance in the loss, giving up just the solo HR.
Pineda is starting tomorrow, so here is hoping he was paying attention. Pineda has been amazing so far, showing us just what we have been expecting. And at just age 22, I definitely have high hopes for him! Imagine, having 2 Felix's on our staff! They are saying that Pineda has been watching Felix and learning from him - a very smart move on his part. Having Pineda right after Felix is also a smart move, allowing him to get a good look at what it takes to get the opponents out. So I am excited for tomorrow and the future!
Is anyone watching the game tonight? Looks like we may have a copy of yesterdays game (though I hope we can drum up a little more run support for Pineda). The M's are up 1-0 so far as they head into the 3rd innng.
Well, Pineda has gotten some of that support he needed so far after the M's 3 more in the bottom of the 5th inning!
2nd Shutout win in a row now for the M's!!!
Pineda picks up his 3rd win of the season after tossing 6 scoreless innings. He only gave up 5 hits and 2 walks along with 5 strikeouts with 97 pitches. He was just on tonight and definitely commanded with his fastball which started at 97 MPH in the first and topped out at 98 MPH in the 6th!
Pauley, Laffey, Wright and league came in to finish out the game and keep the Shutout alive!
Bradley left the game early because of some back issues and was replaced with Saunders who though hitless, garnered a walk and subsequently scored a run. Ichiro was 2-4 tonight, his 8th multiple hit game of the season I believe. Figgins was hitless but with a walk and a run as well. Cust had 2 walks and an RBI and the Hot hitting Adam Kennedy was 2-4 with 2 RBI and a run! The bottom 4 in the order went 3-14 with 2 walks.
So the team continues to get walks and it helped tonight as they had yet another bases loaded walk! How many is that so far this season? They added a total of 7 walks tonight to add to their league leading 81 (88 now).
Noteworthy: Ichiro got his 390th SB of his career! So only 10 away from 400!
A very good showing by the Mariners hitters tonight who fought their way to a 4-0 win. But the story like last night is the starting pitching! I know that this was just his 4th start and all, but there is just too much talent in the kid and there are clearly immediate results to be happy about. The possibility of several years of Felix/Pineda makes me sleep happy!
Pineda now sports a 1.78 ERA over 25 innings spread over 4 starts. He did not work too deep into the game due to a high pitch count but the kid is only 23 years old so as they learned with Felix, you take it slow with him. But depending on how things go, I do not see them using the kid gloves with him as much as they did with Felix (who came up at age 19).

brought up:
Justin Smoak - from Bereavement
Dan Cortes - from Tacoma
In other news, Smoak has hit HR's in back-to-back games, including a 3-run HR tonight. Last night was his first game back after being on bereavement leave after the death of his father.
And the Mariner's win it!
Bedard picks up his first win of the season and lowers his ERA top 5.96 (down from 7.71) after a 7 inning, 1 run performance. He only gave up 5 hits with no walks and 3 strikeouts. Wright came in and pitched a scoreless 8th inning and Laffey finished them off in the 9th with another scoreless inning. Detroit was only able to score in the 1st inning before being shut down!
The M's have now won 4 out of their last 6 games, outscoring opponent 25-18. Not amazing but not bad either.
The M's got to Verlander early, scoring an early 3 in the 1st inning off the Justin Smoak HR! They picked up another insurance run in the 5th to go up 4-1 but later piled on 6 more in the top of the 9th to put the game away!
The top 5 in the order did most of the damage, with each of them getting on base at least twice. Ichiro had 2 hits with an RBI and 2 runs. They said he was hitting .385 with RISP coming into the game, so that went up today I am sure. Figgins also had a couple hits and a walks and a SB and a run and an RBI. He is still only hitting .180 on the season but he has slowly been picking it up . . . up from .150 though, so it's not saying much.
Bradley did not have a hit but had a couple walks and scored a couple runs. He also reached base, twice on errors (2 of the 4 put up by the Tigers). Olivo had a 3 hit day while knocking in a run and scored a couple times as well.
The big player of the day of course (aside from Bedard) is none other than Justin Smoak. After his 1st inning 3-run HR, he collected another couple RBI off a single in the 9th inning to score Figgins and Bradley. He had 5 RBI for the night along with a pair of hits and a pair of runs. He is now hitting .302 on the season with 4 HR and 14 RBI. He is the 2nd Mariners hitter to be batting over .300 this season, right behind Ichiro. He definitely seems to be developing into the hitter we all hoped he could be. I'll be honest, I was not his biggest fan but seeing him day after day, I am real excited for him. I hope he will be part of the group of young good players that the Mariner's are starting to accumulate.
Now, if we can just get Ackley up here and acclimated to the Majors, we definitely will have a solid core to work with for the future. Ackley, Smoak, Felix, Pineda!!!
Then we have the bottom of the order, beginning with Cust. I am already done with him. He was 1-5 tonight and struck out 4 times! He is hitting .177 through the first 25 games and has collected only 13 hits. Yes, he has 16 walks, but we did not bring him here to take just walks. He was supposed to be the Power in the middle of the lineup yet what power have we seen from him. He has only 2 doubles and has yet to hit a HR this season! Let's just drop him while we still have time to pick up the pieces. Are you telling me that there is no one in the Minors (Peguero?) who could come up here and hit at least .180? I would rather see a young guy with potential struggling but getting his chance rather than a guy who clearly does not have it any more.
The bottom 3, including Kennedy, Ryan and Saunders combined for a 1-13 with a walk.
I was just looking at Smoak's gamelog for this season and realized that he has hit a HR in his last 3 games played! Of course, there was a week between the 1st and 2nd HR's but still, that is 3 in three. He is hitting .346/.452/.808 his last 8 games with 9 hits, 4 of them HR, 5 walks and 10 RBI! Keep it up Justin Smoak!
0And the M's sweep the Detroit Tigers! They win the game 7-2 after another great start by Pineda and a fine offensive showing by the M's hitters.
Pineda goes 6 innings while only giving up 2 runs. He only had 4 hits and 3 walks but had a career high 9 SO's! His ERA is sitting pretty at 2.01 right now. Not a bad start to his career as he now sports a 4-1 record!
Pauley was brought in for the 6th and 7th which were scoreless and Wright came in to finish out the 9th.
Ichiro extended his hitting streak to 6 games with another 2 hit performance along with an RBI double. Figgins also had 2 hits and an RBI and raised his BA up to .191. Still a long ways to go to get to respectable but he is headed in the right direction at the moment.
Olivo had a big day with a HR and scoring 2 runs. Smoak also added an RBI double to the mix. Only Bradley and Ryan came away with no hits. Ryan came in to relieve Wilson who I guess had some eye issues? Something stuck in his eye?
Olivo has had 7 hits in his last 3 games, good enough to raise his BA from .164 to .230.
Luckily, Smoak, after his 4 SO performance last night was benched in favor of Kennedy who was the DH today. He did a respectable job, going 1-3 with a walk and a run scored and guess what, no SO!
So the Mariner's offense has been quite good this series, with the big difference being the hitting with RISP. The Mariners scored 24 runs in their last 3 games, all wins.
Justin Smoak now has an 11 game on base streak to go with hit 6 game hit streak.
All in all, I am happy for the win and the sweep! Hoping they can keep it up when they head to Boston!
Hey Seattle, with the win today and the Rangers Losing, we are only like 4.5 games behind. I'm not kidding myself into thinking we could win the division, but it would be nice to stay close for as long as possible.
Game # 28 April 30th, 4:10 SEA @ BOS, TV: Root & MLB Network, Radio: KIRO 710, Doug Fister vs John Lackey
Game # 29th May 1st, 10:35 SEA @ BOS, TV: Root, Radio: KIRO 710, Felix Hernandez vs Clay Buchholz
Seattle is guaranteed a five hundred road trip :)
4 in a row! I know I shouldn't be THIS excited over this but I am!
The Mariner's beat the Red Sox 5-4 for their 4th consecutive win of the season.
Ichiro and Figgins each had 2 hits and 2 runs each. Bradley was 0-5 (with 2 SO). Olivo, Smoak and Cust each added a hit and an RBI (2 for Smoak). The bottom 4 all went hitless, though Saunders had 2 walks.
Figgins is now hitting .204, having hit .412 the last 4 games.
The Mariner's now hold a 12-15 record, having won 6 of the last 8!
5 in a row!
The Mariner's take game 2 from Boston, assuring their second series win in a row. They won 2-0 and Fister improves his record to 2-3 and loweres his ERA to 2.70 (from 3.19). He has now only given up 3 runs in his last 3 games combined!
Ichiro and Figgins each had 2 hits (Ichiro also added 2 BB's and 2SB's) and Ichiro scored 1 of the 2 runs for the M's. Cust also had a hit and 2 walks and scored the 2nd of the Mariner's runs. Not the best offensive showing by this lineup but the pitching was outstanding. Fister pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings and Pauley came in for 2 1/3 frames, giving up only 1 hit and 1 BB; his ERA now sits at 1.80. Brandon League came in and completed his 7th Save of the season and the M's came away with another great victory!
Figgins had another 2 hit night, his 4th in a row, all apart of his current 5 game hit streak. He has raised his BA to .214 over the past 12 games, up from .143 on April 18th. He is hitting .409 the past 5 games. Hoping he keeps it up.
Game # 30, May 3rd, 7:10 TEX @ SEA, TV: Root, Radio: KIRO 710, Alexi Ogando vs Erik Bedard
Game # 31, May 4th, 7:10 TEX @ SEA, TV: Root, Radio: KIRO 710, C.J. Wilson vs Michael Pineda
Game # 32, May 5th 7:10 TEX @ SEA, TV: Root, Radio: KIRO 710, Colby Lewis vs Jason Vargas
Went to my 2nd Mariner's game of the season and was gifted with another win!
The M's won tonight 4-3 over the Texas Rangers.
Bedard was a bit wild in the 1st inning giving up a run on 30+ pitches. He slowly settle down and carried a no hitter into the 6th inning and ended up going 7 innings, giving up 2 runs. The big hitter of the game was none other than Justin Smoak who went 3-4 with a double and 2 RBI.
This is a good start to their home stand! They have 7 wins out of their last 10 games. The rest of the division teams lost tonight, so we picked up a game on them, just one step closer!
Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone! The M's take the game and the series vs. Texas as they win tonight 3-1.
Vargas pitched masterfully, going 7 2/3 innings, giving up the only run all on 6 hits, 2 walks and 98 pitches. Wright came in to finish the 8th and League came in and kept his streak alive! League now has 9 saves on the season, all without a blown save!
Vargas lowered his season ERA to 4.68, down from 5.48, nearly a full point!
Smoak hit a big HR to right field, his 5th of the season and almost hit another when he launched it to CF where it hit high off the wall for a double. He ended the day 3-4 with a run and an RBI. He is now hitting .315 on the season and now has 20 RBI. Ichiro had 2 hits tonight, his 15th multi-hit game of the season (league leading I might add).
Luis Rodriguez got the start at 3B tonight and hit in the #2 hole. He went 1-4 with an RBI.
Colby Lewis, the starter for Texas went the full game, giving up 3 runs over 8 innings with 11 SO! But he gets the loss none the less. He is now 2-4 on the season while Vargas improves to 2-2, his 2nd consecutive win!
The Mariner's now have a record of 15-17, keeping themselves in the race. The AL West is clearly the tightest race in this early season with every other Division having a much wider gap between the top and the bottom. The M's are at the bottom, yet only 3 games from the top.
That definitely makes for a more interesting season.
Before todays games, the AL East leading Yankess were at 17-11, 2 games over the2nd place Rays and 4 games over the Blue Jays.
In the Central, Cleveland was on top at 20-9, 4.5 games over #2 Kansas City and 10.5 games over Chicago at the bottom.
It is pretty much the same picture in the National League.
So, would I be alone in my thoughts that Justin Smoak should be batting in the #4 hole and not in the #5 hole? Right now, they have removed Cust from there (good move, though now he is hitting a little better . . .) and replaced him with Miguel Olivo.
Now, in the last 10 games, he is hitting .286, but in his last 6, only .136. And let's be honest, Olivo is not the guy you really want in the cleanup spot. Sure, he had a few good games, but overall, I want an actual good hitter there.
Smoak is clearly the best hitter on the team. And the only real power threat (HR and doubles). If he was batting #4, he would have more opportunities to be at bat with Ichiro and Figgins on with fewer than 2 outs. And since he is our main run producer, why not put him in the spot where he can best push in some runs?
Smoak is hitting .315, Olivo is hitting .208.
Smoak is hitting .333/.395/.641 in his last 10 games with 4 HR and 14 RBI! This is who needs to be in the Cleanup Spot, the one guy on the team who can rake!
Am I wrong in this?
As a counter argument, there is the thought that maybe they do not want to put undue pressure on him to perform and putting him in the cleanup role might mess with his mind. But I do not think it would do that. He clearly has shown that he can handle big league pitching and handle it with a lot of stress in his life (i.e. the passing of his father). He can handle the pressure and handle it well. Moving him up a spot in the order shouldn't put much more expectation on him, we would just look for him to continue what he is doing now. We don't expect him to hit .333 with a HR every other day (though that would be nice), we would just like a solid consistent hitter there to help improve our offensive output.
What are your thoughts everyone?

A wise reader made a comment on Six types of annoying people about another very annoying type of person I'd carelessly omitted to mention. Specifically, "[d]rivers with the right-of-way who stop and wave me through under the guise of being considerate when I am already stopped and waiting for them ... It achieves nothing but to slow everyone down."
Amen to that. I'm sure we've all encountered such a person, someone who for reasons known only to themselves urges another driver (who does not have the right of way) onwards. Figuring this motorist must be intent on convincing me to break the road rules so I get pulled over by a police officer, I am staunch in the face of such illogical behaviour.
I'll sit there all day if I have to. There are plenty of ways to fill in the time. I can change stations on the radio, programme my navigation system, rifle through my handbag and even apply some lipstick if necessary.
It can take a while but eventually the motorist will realise I'm not going anywhere and he (or she) roars off in a huff as if they are the wronged party when in fact they'd needlessly instigated and prolonged the entire charade. As the person who commented on the original article wrote, "[w]e all know the rules and are happy to abide by them because we know that everything moves faster when everyone obeys them ... Just take-the-right-of-way people!"
Those who are control freaks behind the wheel don't just target other motorists. Sometimes they dish up the same sort of random behaviour to pedestrians. I've seen drivers stop their cars when they see that someone is waiting on a footpath to cross a road. (I'm not referring to situations involving a pedestrian crossing which, of course, are entirely different.)
This is very dangerous for the pedestrian. Just because that one car has stopped, it doesn't mean another car won't overtake it - and it doesn't mean that a cyclist or motorcyclist won't whizz along the inside. Nor, obviously, does it mean the way is clear of traffic coming from the opposite direction.
It's an even more dangerous activity if there are two lanes of traffic going in that same direction; a pedestrian, who is lured into crossing the road in front of the stationary car, is at risk of getting wiped out by a vehicle travelling in the other lane. No matter how urgent the motorist's hand signals become I never take advantage of this offer either. Instead I move behind this vehicle just to avoid the awkwardness and uncertainty.
Have you ever been following a truck on the open road when the driver pulls over to the left slightly and gives you hand signals suggesting that you ought to pass now? Are they serious? I know they're the professional driver and I'm the amateur - and I know they probably have a better view of the road ahead than I do - but surely they don't expect me to put my safety and that of my passengers in the hands of a person I've never met. I'll pass when I can see that it's safe to do so and no amount of urging from a third-party will encourage me to do it a second earlier.
What's your response when drivers waive their right-of-way? What do you think motivates them? Have you ever overtaken a vehicle by putting blind faith in the judgment of a fellow road user?

Graffiti has reappeared on a historic water tower on Alcatraz — and this time it's government-sanctioned.
That wasn't the case from Nov. 20, 1969, to June 11, 1971, when Native American groups seized and occupied the island marking the beginning of the group's civil rights movement.
It was about 80 Native Americans who launched from Sausalito in three boats after a meeting at the city's No Name Bar, according to an account in "You Are Now on Indian Land: The American Indian Occupation of Alcatraz" by Margaret J. Goldstein.
During the occupation graffiti was painted at various locations, including on the water tower that reads: "Peace and Freedom. Welcome. Home of the Free Indian Land."
"It was before the days of spray cans being used, it was done with paint and brush," said Fairfax resident John Martini a historian, who was a ranger on Alcatraz from 1974 to 1976. "A lot of graffiti is political and the park service felt then and now it was important to keep."
The island's water tower — the tallest structure on the island — is considered historically significant. In recent years, it began to show signs of wear and tear from the harsh marine environment that surrounds it.
More than $1 million was put into the nonfunctioning water tower to refurbish it, but part of that process included coating it in paint that was resistant to moisture.
When the paint went on, the graffiti was covered.
"But before that happened we painstakingly took notes and pictures of the graffiti on the water tower," said Alex Picavet, park service spokeswoman. "Then we had it painted back on. It's the same color paint, everything is the same."
There are other examples of coveted graffiti in the park system: Pompeys Pillar in Montana has scrawlings from the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and there is historic graffiti in off-limits areas of the Washington Monument.
"I think it's the only example we have of park service re-creating graffiti," Picavet said. "It is historically significant and an integral part of the story of Alcatraz."

Washington County Animal Shelter gets $1.5 million from city
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - A budget boost from the local government has been a long time coming for the Washington County-Johnson City Animal Shelter. Fundraising has been going on for more than a decade.
"We've been trying to build a new facility for 12 years. It's has really come down to the wire in the past two years," said Debbie Dobbs, Animal Shelter Director.
We learned Washington County offered the shelter $350,000 total if they raised a million dollars to go toward the new facility. However, even with all the fundraising they were still coming up short, until Johnson City decided to step in.
"What the city did was agree to build up to $1.5 million at the animal shelter that should get to replace the very aged facility they're currently operating out of," said Pete Peterson, Johnson City Manager.
We learned that by Johnson City giving the money to the animal shelter it not only helps the shelter move, but it also gives the land to the city so they can build a road that will lead to new development. "With a grant from TDOT, they will soon hopefully begin road construction of a roadway from West Market Street over to State of Franklin through the middle of the property," said Peterson.
Guy Wilson, CEO of Pro Compounding Pharmacy in Johnson City, says the road will help his business by giving his pharmacy better traffic flow.
Another organization is still in the path of the road, the Boys and Girls Club. They hope they city will also help them relocate as they did the animal shelter. "It would be a great opportunity for our community to start looking at something bigger and better and plan for the future for our kids," said Robin Crumley, Executive Director of Boys and Girls Club.
The city is still considering options for the Boys and Girls Club.
Meanwhile, the money given to the shelter will pay a large portion of the construction costs but fundraising efforts are still underway to cover the rest.

Mikel Arteta believes everyone at Arsenal must accept responsibility for their team's current travails – and everyone must work hard to put them right.
Arsène Wenger's side lost 2-0 to Swansea on Saturday in deeply disappointing fashion. Two late goals from Miguel Michu sealed Arsenal's fourth defeat of the season and pushed them down to 10th place in the Premier League.
Champions League qualification must be the initial aim. The fourth and final place is occupied by Tottenham, who are still only five points ahead of Arsenal. There is plenty of time to respond and, as Arteta outlined, his side have experience of playing catch-up.
"There was a big gap last year when we were 10 points behind Spurs and we did it," said the vice-captain. "But we have to start right now.
"We had a great chance on Saturday because it was the start of two games at home and we have to be consistent if we want to be up there. But we did not do it.
"We know that results will bring everyone together. When they don't come people will be criticised – the manager, players and staff. It is our fault if we haven't done it [right] and they have every right [to react].
"They have been outstanding so far," he went on. "We can't ask them to be behind us if we don't give them back what they deserve. It is up to us. We will get criticised [if we don't win]. It is part of our jobs. The main thing is that everyone give 100 per cent now."

Thick guns more rounds, thin gun feels better, a snubby with a belt slider and you hardly know you got it on. What ever you pick make yourself the best you can be with it. That means plenty of practice. Good luck on your choice.

As with most any Toro Genuine Part, Toro seals are designed for a specific application for retaining lubricants and fluids and protecting against debris and moisture that can damage tires, gears or motor components. The best way to assure that you are replacing worn-out seals properly is to order Genuine Toro Seals.
It's hard to know what your getting with a will-fitter replacement seal. It comes down to buying more than just a seal from Toro, it's a matter of buying confidence as well. Keep in mind, will-fitters are always looking to cut corners with replacement parts. And Toro is always looking to meet or exceed our standards to make sure your customer's Toro product will remain on the job day after day.
As with all our parts, Toro conducts continuous and extensive seal tests to assure they will not fail for specific applications and mechanisms.
Toro seals are designed for specific applications. Too tight of seal can cause extra drag on the roller, tire, or moving part and can drain horsepower from the engine. A tight seal could also cause undesirable mowing efficiency as well.
A seal that is too loose will allow fluids and lubricants to leak from the component and cause damage to the turf. Moisture and debris can also get into the housing and cause premature wear and damage any moving components.

Kafka, I know you're a Byrds/White fan—here's something that, if you haven't already checked it out, you should: it's an interview with John York, the bass player for the second lineup: McGuinn/White/York/Gene Parsons. Unfortunately I can't find the entire interview, but here's a link to a small portion of it. If you haven't seen this interview in its entirety, I strongly suggest you hunt around for it on youtube—it's broken up into something like 13 or 14 3-minute clips. York has a ton of fascinating stuff to share about his 1 1/2 years as a Byrd. A must-view for Byrds junkies.
I've seen that York "Wall of Guitar Players" interview -- I found it searching for Clarence stuff -- but not the others yet

text: So since we are talking about Parcells this weekend, I was wondering how much stock everyone puts into the whole "coaching Tree" thing. I think it's overrated. I don't really think Parcells deserves credit for Coughlins success just because he coached Bill's WR's. Maybe BP just was very good at picking good coaches for his staff.

He may be nicknamed Fearless Felix, but Austrian adventurer Felix Baumgartner is anything but reckless. The pilot, skydiver and high-altitude jumper stresses the importance of planning and understanding the science behind his daring feats. "If I do something, it's always 90% obvious and 10% unknown," Baumgartner told TIME.
It took five years for Baumgartner, 42, and the Red Bull Stratos team to prepare for Baumgartner's jump from the edge of space this year, and it paid off. On October 14, 2012, Baumgartner rose up to the edge of the stratosphere—the second layer of Earth's atmosphere—in a space capsule pulled by a helium balloon. Baumgartner then jumped from the space capsule 24 miles above ground. About nine minutes later, he landed safely on his feet in Roswell, New Mexico.
Baumgartner broke three world records: the highest manned balloon flight, the highest sky dive and the fastest jump. During his fall, he reached speeds up to 833.9 miles per hour, shattering the sound barrier. The speed of sound is measured at 761.2 miles per hour at sea level. Baumgartner is the first human to travel faster than the speed of sound without the use of a craft.
Scientists say the data collected during Baumgartner's jump will help them break new ground in everything from space-suit design to aircraft-emergency procedures. The skydiver—who says he has a lot of fears but not a fear of heights—called the experience humbling and harder than he had expected. "Sometimes, you have to go up really high to understand how small you are," he said.
Baumgartner was born in Salzburg, Austria, in 1969. He began skydiving when he was 16 years old. He went on to join the Austrian military's demonstration and competition team. In the 1990s, he added BASE jumping to his skill set. That's when a person parachutes from a fixed object or landform. Baumgartner also does charity work for the nonprofit Wings for Life Spinal Cord Research Foundation.
For his fearlessness in falling from unexplored heights and his contribution to scientific research, Felix Baumgartner is a nominee for TFK's 2012 Person of the Year.

text: Hi everyone, I have a 2000 Express cargo van, 2500 series with a 5.7 in it. I replaced both motor mounts after it started giving all the signs of failure (low clunking noise when stopped in gear). After I drove it with the new mounts, it ran silent for the first 5 minutes and then the familiar noise started to come back slowly :grrrrrr:. Now it runs silent the first 5 minutes everytime I drive it and the noise seems to be coming from the left side. My question now is how likely is it that the new one failed so quickly and does anyone have any advice. Honestly, I am absolutely terrified to get under it while its in gear with my wife holding the brake so any suggestions besides that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Maurice.

Windows of Opportunity
One of the most amazing things your child will learn in his or her lifetime is languagewords, meanings and their use for communicating with others. The early years are a critical time for learning language. Getting help for your child as early as possible maximizes his or her window of opportunity to learn language. Research has shown that children who begin receiving appropriate help before six months of age are more likely to learn language at a pace comparable to that of children whose hearing is normal.1 So take advantage of the service systems that exist to help your child and you.

Students put their minds to work at Camp Invention
Young inventors gathered at Crosslake Community School last week to participate in Camp Invention, a summer camp centered on science and inventing.
The students participated a variety of activities where they invented contraptions to solve various scenarios involving landscapes from around the world.
In the duck chuck activity, students used recycled objects to create an invention that would fling a rubber duck down the hall in a scenario where they were challenged to send the foreign duck to his homeland.
Students also learned about the mountain K2, and invented a contraption to retrieve their hiking equipment they dropped while scaling the mountain.
In another activity, students learned about the Dead Sea, and then invented a fantasy creature out of craft materials that could live there by expelling salt from its body.
Students also learned about things like longitude and latitude, how caves and crystals form and weather phenomena like sandstorms, tsunamis and hurricanes. For each piece of learning was a challenge to invent.
The week concluded with an inventor's showcase Friday, June 21, where family and friends were welcome to see what students had been inventing.
The week was sponsored by Pequot Lakes Community Education and the Crosslake Community School PTO.

All are well. Good location.
Soweit alles in Ordnung. Gute Lage.
My experience with this host was perfect. Everything happened as agreed. The accommodation matched the photos on the site, were clean and with everything we needed for our stay. We have no complaints.
Minha experiência com este anfitrião foi perfeita. Tudo ocorreu conforme o combinado. As acomodações condiziam com as fotos do site, encontravam-se limpas e com tudo o que precisávamos para a estadia. Não temos do que reclamar.
We were happy to share this appartment well-located in Manhattan. We can visit most of touristic place by walk. The metro station is 2 minutes walk from the place. Only we couldn't put the air conditionning on during the night because the system was too noisy. There were 2 bedrooms confortable with all the necessary and the appartment was clean.
The apartment is in accordance with the description and photos, 2 blocks from a subway station and not far from Central Park is ideally situated for exploring Manhattan.
L'appartement est conforme à la description et aux photos, à 2 rues d'une bouche de métro et non loin de Central Park il est idéalement placé pour découvrir Manhattan.
We booked a 2 bed apartment for 4 people: 2 of my elderly aunts and my cousin and I. For the 1st two days we were given this lovely studio apartment near Times Square but we were told that there was a double sofa bed and there wasn't. We had to resort to sleeping on the floor as the sofa bed was only a single! Also, only 1 set of towels were left in the studio for all 4 of us! :-( also no access to wi-fi which was also promised!
Then when we finally got to our actual apartment (the one advertised here) on 1st Avenue we found the following issues:
1) Extremely warm with both bedrooms over looking a very busy and very noisy main road which was noisy ALL night!
2) The electric points in the 2nd bedroom short circuited and blew the lamp bulb 4 times! Also the main light in that bedroom and the main bedroom didnt work.
3) The electric points in the kitchen didnt work so we had to plug in the toaster in the lounge area.
4) Even with the air-conditioner on in the 2 bedrooms the lounge was extremely warm. We raised several work orders for this and although promised a portable air-con unit none was provided. I couldn't sleep on warm nights!
5) In the main bedroom, the air-con unit was old and noisy so along with the noise of the traffic and the air-con no way you can sleep in there!
6) There was always a foul smell in the apartment.
7) Luckily we had a lift but it was always smelt and bounced.
8) The bathroom was old and needs redecorating and at least the shower head descaling as it simply dribbles.
I would NOT recommend this apartment to any future travellers unless you are using the place for storage only.
Aside from the above the apartment was suitably located but always requires a taxi to get to the nearest metro station. Lots of nice restaurants nearby and not so nice ones also.
Staying at this appartement is really great. It is located very centrally (restaurants, shops, metro station in walking distance) and has the perfect size to host 2 couples. I definitely recommend the appartement.
Hello, the apartment is clean, but very sober, soundproofing (miserable very loud!. Nevertheless the good location of the apartment and the easy handling of formalities by the local office helped to a stunning New York stay.
die Wohnung ist sauber, aber sehr nüchtern ausgestattet, die Schallisolierung miserabel (sehr laut!. Trotzdem verhalf die gute Lage des Apartments und die unkomplizierte Abwicklung der Formalitäten durch das Büro vor Ort zu einem beeindruckendem New York-Aufenthalt.
Apartment in a central and very close to the subway. Perfect house for 4 people and cured! I recommend it!
Appartamento in posizione centralissima e molto vicina alla metropolitana. Casa perfetta per 4 persone e curata! la consiglio!
Very well located, but noisy (street 1st floor) If you are sensitive to noise of the city, to avoid. If you are used to city centers, it is perfect.
Trés bien placé, mais bruyant (1er étage sur rue) Si vous êtes sensible aux bruits de la ville, à éviter. Si vous êtes habitués aux centres villes, c'est parfait.
We are super disappointed by the proposed project and the reality! We paid € 400 + that we had booked. Take care to forget site

Have to say that with all the doom and gloom of past years, I didn't know what to expect going into my first winter as a beekeeper. Realize that winter is far from over, but I'm happy that they've made it this long. Two of them seem to be busting at the seems and look to have a lot of honey left. The third one I'm not sure what's left in there. There are bees in the hive, but I'm not sure how many and didn't want to completely break down the hive to find out. Did lose one hive sometime in the last couple of weeks. This one never did well at building up numbers all last summer/fall, and I honestly didn't expect them to make it, so I wasn't too surprised when I opened that one to find nothing.
Added some sugar for insurance and closed them all back up. Hopefully they'll continue doing well until pollen starts showing up in 6 to 8 weeks.
How's everyone's winter going so far?

Margaret Mitchell Marsh
1900 - 1949
Born in Atlanta in 1900, Margaret Mitchell grew up surrounded by relatives who told endless tales of the Civil War and Reconstruction. She knew those who were relics of a de-stroyed culture, and those who had put aside gentility for survival. Her mother instilled in her that education was her only security. She attended Smith College but had to come home when her mother fell ill. After her mother's death, Margaret resolved that she had to make a home for her father and brother, so she left college and returned to Atlanta.
In 1923, she became a feature writer for the Atlanta Journal, and in 1925, she married John Marsh, a public relations officer for Georgia Power. She found most of her assignments unfulfilling, and she soon left to try writing fiction more to her own taste. Her own harshest critic, she would not try to get her work published. She began to write Gone with the Wind in 1926, while recovering from an automobile accident. Over the next eight years she painstakingly researched for historical accuracy.
She accumulated thousands of pages of manuscript. Here is how she later described her life's labor: "When I look back on these last years of struggling to find time to write between deaths in the family, illness in the family and among friends which lasted months and even years, childbirths (not my own), divorces and neuroses among friends, my own ill health and four fine auto accidents ... it all seems like a nightmare. I wouldn't tackle it again for anything. Just as soon as I sat down to write, somebody I loved would decide to have their gall-bladder removed. ... "
In 1934, an editor from Macmillan's Publishers came to Atlanta seeking new authors. He was referred to John and Margaret Marsh as people who knew Atlanta's literary scene. She steered him to several prospects, but didn't mention her own work. A friend told him that she was writing a novel, but she denied it. On the night before he was to leave Atlanta, she appeared at his hotel-room door with her still imperfect, mountainous manuscript and left it with him for better or for worse.
The rest of the story is well-known
Margaret Mitchell was born in Atlanta, Georgia, the daughter of an attorney who was president of the Atlanta Historical Society. She married in 1925, and spent the following ten years putting down on paper the stories she had heard about the Civil War. The result was Gone With The Wind, first published in 1936. It won the Pulitzer price, sold over ten million copies, was translated into eighteen languages and was later made into one of the best-loved films of all time starring Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable. This book, a record bestseller, was her only published work. She died in 1949.

I just picked one of the model numbers you listed and Googled it using "rhb-90atc". Close to the top on the results list was a thread from a Beesource member who was having problems. A bit below that was this Alibaba page listing about half a dozen Chinese wholesale vendors offering this exact model number refractometer:
I have no doubt that item is sold at retail in many different stores/sites, they just change the model number to make it more difficult to identify.
When vendors cannot describe their products accurately, run away!

That page does nothing to inspire confidence that there is a reliable vendor there, in my opinion.

Food intolerances and allergies
Some general information
http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv … ntolerance
http://www.allergy.org.au/aer/infobulle … erence.htm
Something that I find is important to note, not all allergies or intolerances are to "man made" foods. In fact many many people like myself have an allergy or intolerance to a natural food chemical such as gluten or salicylates (found in fruit and veg). In fact, I'm not intolerant to MSG (or any of the natural glutamates such as those in parmesan cheese or broccoli). Note I've not linked sites such as "fed up with food additives". I think they make people think they are always bad when in reality only a small number of people have a problem with them and everyone else can eat them (in moderation of course).
Some people are intolerant to a number of food chemicals and intolerant at different levels. For example, I am severely gluten intolerant and can't have foods that contain sugars (like glucose) made from wheat. Other people can get away with small amounts - so don't assume that they were just being fussy.
Cooking for someone who has an allergy or intolerance:
*find out what they can have; and if it's a severe allergy (you don't want someone going into anaphlyatic shock at your dinner party)
*put together your menu and let them know what you are planning and ask them for help if you need it (they will be more practised at cooking for a restricted diet)
*when preparing food make sure sources of allergens or intolerances are not present in the preparation area and that you make sure all utensils are thoroughly cleaned
*if you can't make the whole menu suit the restriction or the food is to be served as a buffet (where cross contamination can easily occur) then make their portion and serve it on a plate and store it away until the person arrives
Gluten free recipes and information
Dairy free (not as extensive as the gluten free thread)
Eating out with a food intolerance:
*contact the restaurant ahead of time; do this yourself even if someone else is booking; and check again the day before
*make yourself known to the wait staff when you arrive
*if in doubt about the ability of the restaurant to cater for you then you may have to avoid it or eat before you go
*cross contamination from tongs and other utensils is a major risk in a lot of restaurants

Re: Food intolerances and allergies
My children have food intolerances. One of them is sensitive to salycilates (as am I). Three of them react to food dyes neurologically. We have to be careful of the big bad chemical preservatives with them as well. The cleaner they eat, the better their neurological processes.

Re: Food intolerances and allergies
There was something on tele the other day and it was about a couple that were trying to have a baby and then they went and got tested and the lady was a coeliac and after she went on a gluten free diet she actually fell pregnant. I just wish I could remember more but I thought that it was fantastic she has one child and is pregnant with another. Just goes to see that we really do not know just what food allergies can affect.

Re: Food intolerances and allergies
An article by the BBC that appears to completely miss the point
When I first went to school (1985) I had problems that after 2 years were foudn to be caused by E numbers. Hyperactivity in kids was a new thing and it was hard to find food without the dreaded azo dyes like E110. It's amazing how little you need for a reaction. Some of the preservatives also had an effect.
As an adult, I've grown out of the effect - I think, although I don't choose to buy anything with them in I must get them in some things when out.
I still try and avoid because when my mum stopped me eating them in the 80's her headaches also decreased (and not just caused by me!!).
I am surprised that now most coloured childrens food is additive free it is still very hard to find natural food colourings in supermarkets / food shops.

#6 Thu 26 Aug 10 1:28am
Re: Food intolerances and allergies
As we can see there are many and varied food intolerances and allergies. So it's always important to get properly checked for them before eliminating a food from your diet. This is especially important for coeliac disease because you need to be eating gluten to get a proper diagnosis.
Eliminating foods from your diet due to intolerance or allergy is best done with the assistance of a dietitian or allergy specialist, because as Olivia points out some of these food chemicals crop up elsewhere.

I've got to agree, within 48 hours of going gluten free my daughter (11 and newly diagnosed as a Celiac) began to get less stomach aches. One month on and she's a different child, much more like the happy carefree girl she was as a toddler

It's amazing how little you need for a reaction. Some of the preservatives also had an effect.
I can react to less than 5 parts per million of gluten. So if a product says "gluten free" on the front then has an ingredient made from wheat (like glucose from wheat) or is produced on equipment that handles wheat then it's out for me.

Re: Food intolerances and allergies
It's so important to know whether you are suffering from an allergy or an intolerance and also to pinpoint exactly which foods are the problem for you. Allergies and intolerances have very different causes and mechanisms, although the treatment plan for both would be very similar ie avoid the food. Intolerance though, unlike allergies, arent permanent and if you eliminate the food and do the right things to allow your body to heal then you will then be able to reintroduce the food at a later stage without it causing you any problems. There are good tests available now to identify both allergies (IgE responses) and intolerances (IgG responses) so it's great that the guesswork can be taken away and we can all take control of our health when dealing with allergies and intolerances.

Woman finds Civil War monument in cemetery
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - A local woman found a special treasure hidden in Idaho Falls.
"I was looking for my great-great grandfather. He was a corporal in the Civil War," said Elaine Johnson, who makes frequent visits to Rose Hill Cemetery.
What she discovered in December was especially breathtaking.
"There was this big old tree," Johnson described. "I could see just the corner of a stone peeking out from inside the tree, and I wondered, 'Who's in there and do they know who's in there? Maybe he's lost, too.' So I pulled back the branches to look and I saw the inscription."
The inscription read, "GAR, dedicated to the veterans of the Civil War, 1911.'"
"I was astonished," Johnson said.
Cemetery management didn't know the monument was there. Crews have since removed the tree and monument from their original spot, and moved the monument to a safer place before it gets restored.
Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War is the organization that can legally claim ownership of the monument and others like it. Veterans from GAR, or the Grand Army of the Republic, placed monuments throughout the West after the Civil War.
"(The veterans) were looking for a place where they could settle down, far removed from the battle that was horrific in their life," said Eric Richhart, a member of the SUVCW in Utah.
Richhart said this is the only known GAR monument in eastern Idaho.
"It should be honored," he said.
Richhart visited Idaho Falls to see the monument on Saturday. He and the SUVCW hope to restore it by Veterans Day. It will sit in its original location, next to the headstone of Johnson's great-great grandfather.
Richhart wants to form an Idaho chapter of the SUVCW in hopes of finding more monuments like this one. Anyone interested in joining can contact Richhart directly at (801) 250-7733 or at email@example.com.
