Hi, this is Red Dog's owner. It was very hard to log into the page to type this, as it still hurts very much, but Red Dog died in my arms on the night of the 12th, after a long string of health problems that ended with him being diagnosed with lymphoma.
He was an incredible cat, and one of the best things to ever happen to me. I've made a memorial video for him, partially to honor his memory and also in hopes that people will see his story and consider adopting an elderly cat or dog from their local shelter. Please feel free to share this video with someone you love.
My hope is that everyone out there has a chance to experience the incredible and unconditional love that Red Dog gave to us during his short time in our lives.
Thank you so much, from Red Dog's family.
I have a new brother!!! My people went and picked him up yesterday. I bet he'll have a catster page eventually; all my family will, but it's a matter of getting time to do it. Plus there's 12 of us total but we sure as heck don't all live together. Some of my family lives with my people's grandparents, and some live with my people's mom, but I think of them as my family too, even if I don't see them as often.
The new brother lives with us though. He's still shy so he's got his own room for now. We're so used to having foster kitties in the house that we don't really care, but he's not used to us yet, so he's been hissing when the door is opened and we're all sitting there waiting to say hi. The hissing sort of upset me, so Mom is giving it a few more days, because she doesn't want me getting a flare-up from stress. She's still nervous about FIP, even though my titer has gone down. That's another reason to keep my new brother away. I feel better but we want to be safe.
Anyway, I've never seen a cat like my new brother before. He's got no hair!! At all! And no whiskers either. He's made of wrinkles! Mom says his name is Rogaine, but she calls him Rogue for short. I think he'll like us once he gets to know us. I remember how mean Lola used to be, hissing and smacking us around, but now she and I are best friends!
I'm old, time to go play Pogo.
Good news!
I had another vet appt yesterday morning, and it turns out, my FIP titer actually went DOWN from 1:16 to 1:4! The vet we talked to thinks we shouldn't rule FIP out, but that it's a lot more likely that my protein levels are elevated because I'm fighting a virus off.
Actually, I feel a lot better. I've been eating like a pig and I even ran a bit today! I haven't done that in awhile! I'm on a new medication too, one that doesn't make me foam like that awful Baytril did. Mom thought I was just being my usual difficult self when I kept trying to swat her, but I was having a reaction to the Baytril that a lot of cats get. I got really foamy.. yucky stuff! My new medicine is pink and I don't have to swallow as much. I like that.

I love this quilt. I think any girl or teenager would love this quilt.
Very eye-catching. You did a great job. I'm sure it will be loved.
Very pretty quilt. Kelela
I made one using what appears to be the exact same black prints but my centers were red print. It took five 10" squares to make one block. Goes together rather quickly.
I love it...... :thumbup:
Lovely, great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day
love the pattern and color choices

My question is, does god differentiate betwen the "born gays" and the "I wanna put it in yer butt this week gays". Seems like the first have better ground than the latter. IMHO
Good luck; I think, to the fags.
God bless us all!!
Yeah, the same thing is happening in the United Methodist church right now. Kind of. It's more on letting homosexuals be Pastors. I'm not even sure on were I stand on that one. It's sad, and just one way Satan is using differences, and sin, to rip apart the body of Christ
I don't see why this would be questionable? They are still children of God. Like what The pastor said in the Sermon, the sin of Homosexuality was not the only sin listed when it's braught up. Adultery is one of those sins and I know plenty of Men that struggle with Porn. SHould it be questionable to bring them to God as well?
LIke I said before, I don't think he sees any difference. All he sees is one of his Creations that is in Sin. Just like you or I. The difference is what do you (or I) Live for. I can honestly say that if those people living for God then they would let him work in thier life to get rid of that sin. Just like any sin.
I'm not trying to sound condeming or condecending or anything. I'm just figuring out what you guys (or Guy in this case) think.

Kazunori Yamauchi toured the show floor at SEMA in Las Vegas today, visiting all of the individual category winners in this year's Gran Turismo Awards. They are:
One of these cars will be chosen for inclusion in a future Gran Turismo title. The "best in show" winner will be announced tonight at the RAIN Nightclub at the Palms Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, where Snoop Dogg/Lion will also be performing.
I will be representing GTPlanet at the awards and will update this post to confirm the winner as soon as it is announced at the event. Good luck to all of the finalists!
Update: …and the winner is, Eckert's Ford Mach Forty! Stay tuned for more info on the car in a full wrap up on the event soon.
Comments are now closed. Visit our forums for more discussion.
I really wanted that 500hp awd beetle!
Kaz made a great choice. Looking forward to driving a MR Mustang.
Agreed, that was a really good choice Kaz made.
So glad that Mustang didn't win. That is the stupidest looking Mustang i have ever seen. RTR BIG FAIL.
Happy to see the Mach Forty won. Crazy but unique design.
Cool '69 'Stang. Really unfortunate hubcaps though. They stuck the engine in the back? Yikes, that's gonna be a bit tail happy.
Bleh, ugliest car won :(.
Ford Mustang please!!
I wanted the Camry or the FR-S to win :(
Edit: The toyota Seqouia.
Don't worry bud. Maybe with the FR-S, we can create our own in GT6 hopefully. :)
Shelby mustang fast back
VW Beetle or Mustang, others are so ugly (as other SEMA Winners which are in GT5 now.
That Ford Mach looks amazing! I'd love to see it in GT6.
Oh, it did win. Brilliant. :)
The first thing I'd do to that Mach Forty when it comes to GT is change those horrible wheels! They're hideous!
I want the FR-S to win so badly.
If not, the Mustang RTR and Beetle would do too.
That mustang has to be one of the best looking cars ever made!
It's soo smooth.
Yay Old Mustang, Best looking model too.
Wouldn't of minded turbo beetle, would of been a 911 Turbo in disguise lol
Yay, the Ford Mach Forty (Mc40?) won! I wanted that, or the Beetle or the Scion.
Just put them all in, that would make a nice DLC pack and I'm sure loads of people would buy it, including me.
That MR mustang looks good. I hope it will handle just like the Ford GT.
I wanted the Ford Mustang 2013 RTR to win just so we could have a current Mustang in GT, I had a feeling the Ford Mach Forty would win going by previous winners anf kaz's tastes. I just hope GT6 will have a current Mustang model.
Not ANOTHER 86 type please!! lol
I'll take a Beetle though.
the beetle. rest of those are worthless…
The Scion looks great, but I would rather go for the Ford Mustang
scion is the one. cuz they already got the licence right thing..
Oh yeah, i know think will sure 2012 GT awards add cars on GT6 or GT5 DLC list:
-VW Beatle 2013
-Ford Mustang 2013 RTR
-Scion GT-86 (Look great)
Ford Wins!!
Thats cool, its hard to judge in between categories.
My pick was the FR-S
Any cars was overdone or bad colors choice unfortunately.
Figures that the one car I didn't want to win.. won.
lol guys take a look at the update, the Mach Forty won
Holy crap you're right!
where do you go to see?
Old or new stang
still no announcement?
2013 Mustang GT RTR…yes, nice looking….
Toyota Sequoia Dragster….it a drag car, if win, he will need a drag racing track…..
Mach Forty…look funny….if win, it will been three old Mustang in the row…no need get other one……
Evasive Motorsports FR-S…yes, also nice looking, I like this car……
Super Beetle….wow look good hp, new model and we don't have new Beetle in the game….why not….
So I like three out of five…..the Mustang GTR, FR-S and Super Beetle
I'm trying to like the Mach Forty… but I just can't. Either the FR-S or the Super Beetle please. Having followed the Super Beetle project on VWVortex, I'm excited that it got the award for Best European car. For APR, VWVortex and VW, I'd love to see that Beetle make it.
I bet my two cents it will be the Scion. It will be easier to implement in GT6, 'cause they already modeled it…
Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. ;)
Screw that, include all the category winners, they all look freaking sweet.
If Kaz is going to continue his trends of picking old fashion muscle cars, then its definitely going to be the Eckerts Ford Mach Forty
Yea but he's picked them 3 years running. I think he needs a change of pace, such as the Sequoia or Super Beetle.
I hope the dragster Toyota wagon wins. Closest thing to the Renault Espace F1 from GT2 . :D
& It might mean we could have a drag strip for it too, since it's technically a pro stock truck.
Ok, all of these choices are great in my eyes, but how long are we going to be waiting on them? We've still got all of these plus the NSX on the waiting list…
Considering that we don't have any of the 2010 winners yet, I'm just going to assume their being held for GT6.
*Not a complaint, just speculation, to make that perfectly clear.*
both mach 40 and fr-s look good. but i can see the vw in the game too, just because there aren't many honerable production vws
Have a Blast Jordan.
My Winner: Eckerts Ford Mach Forty
Kazs Winner: 2013 Scion FR-S Evasive Motorsports
Irony inbound
The Mothers Mustang is a proper Mustang; they didn't over do it in the power and gave it the right part to keep it glued to the road and the track. I would love to have a Flat Black Stang like that.
GT Academy is on Spike
My favorites are the BRZ and the 2013 Mustang. I think the truck is a bit over-done and I don't really like the Beatle, tuned or not.
BRZ? I think you mean FR-S…
The Beetle is a must have. Out of all these it doesn't have overdone bodykit and its specs speak of a true racecar rather than trailer queen. We already have a SEMA Mustang, we don't need yet another one.
At the risk of sounding cynical, the way Polyphony keeps adding in GTRs and FR-Ss, it's probably going to be the FR-S.
I love Kaz's choices. There were so many cars to choice from. How can you how can you narrow it down?
My Diagnosis on each car:
Mustang GT RTR: Very nice, probably a great road car, but I'm not a big Ford guy.
Mach Forty: Amazing power output, good balance, but not a real looker.
Toyota Sequoia Dragster: Probably amazing on a drag strip, but terrible on a road course.
VWVortex Super Beetle: 500hp, AWD, Probably handles good.
Evasive Motorsports FR-S: Like the FR-S, good drift car, but alittle ordinary and not sure of the hp.
My vote would have to go with ethier the Sequoia, as long as it comes with a real 1/4 mile drag strip, or the Super Beetle, but I'm a VW Guy so my opinion is alittle biased
The cars last year were way better.
Make it the Beetle or that FR-S. That Beetle looks incredible/
Not really liking any of the choices this time.
one thing's certain, Kaz has horrible taste in cars.
haha…i was thinking the same thing. i never like the ones he picks at SEMA. i think there was something at Pebble Beach he was involved with, and thought his choices sucked too!
The category winning cars are not selected by Kaz, but by a group of judges. Yamauchi then picks from the five cars that are presented to him.
Eckerts Ford Mach Forty & or Antron Brown's Family Dragster Toyota Sequoia
I really hope the Mazda MX-5 Super 25 could win this
I'd really like to see the regular 2013 Beetle actually. Not sure if I like this particular one as I don't quite like the wheels.
The Old Mustang would be nice, but a Mustang won before so I'm not sure how likely that is.
I'm not super interested in the FR-S in general but this one looks incredible; I would love to have it in the game.
And of course, who doesn't want the Sequoia?
Looks like Kaz has his work cut out to have to choose one of these.
I hope its the Sequoia, but realistically its probably going to be the Scion.
I put money on the fact that he will pick the Old Mustang. Past few years he picks old cars from the 60s/70s because that's when he grew up
I would pick FR-S but they're not releasing the amount of horsepower. I've tried finding it on the internet and that seems shady to me. It's great looking and I like the aero package but if the horsepowers low what's the point.
The SUV would be cool because it would be the most unique addition to GT
The Mach 40 is just ugly, those rims are HIDEOUS, same with the beetle. The beetle is already an ugly car but with those rims it's even worse.
Mach Forty or the FR-S please
Meh… I would like to have something that you don't see on the road…. (As in a better euro import… Seriously, a bug?) somthing more along the lines of a merk or Aston Martin…..
You see 500hp AWD Beetles on the road?
Hummmm here's what I am stuck on.
1. I like the RTR Mustangs. But the one in pictures and yes the red one. It has to be the worst one i have ever seen. Those fender flares are ugly. I know it is supposed to be a race car but they should have at least painted them. Do I need to say anything about the rims? RTR what and why?
2. The Toyota. Ok cool it is a drag car. I say no to it if there isn't a proper drag strip in GT6 (proper drag strip as in at least a 1/4 mile strip with a tree with working lights. So no more ghosting bull crap)
3. The VW Beatle. It is cool and a pretty normal car. It would be ok.
4. The FR-S. Ok cool to put that in. But GT6 needs to have the right classes and regulations for it.
5. The Mach Forty. That thing is pretty cool. Great beautiful creation.
I am between the Beatle and the Mach Forty
If the Toyota wins, we might be able to get our dragstrip.
My god I want that Sequoia to be I GT6.
Surprised at the number of people rooting for the Scion, considering all the GTP tantrums about BR-Z / FT-86 / FR-S being the same car and how we need more variety. Yeah, yeah… but it's a tuner! Maybe I missed a meeting.
Just give us all of them. DLC. Now. Shut up and take my money.
Well it's because it's a great looking car and probably the best handling car there.
The red Mustang!:)
sure I would kinda like to have the RSR or the Mach or the FRS But all these arent that good….disappointed. Some should tune a Porsche, so that KAz can put it in GT. Or something like the DTM C 63 or BMW M3 GT3.
I want the Mustang.
Please please please choose both the Scion and Beetle Turbo, and even the rest along with the dragster if possible. Either choose the Scion or Beetle Turbo, I'll forgive you Kaz. I Promise. :)
I think I read somewhere about that tuned Scion FR-S may compete at Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. *.*
Nahh ford mustang cobra jet 8 sec TT v8 beast!
I want the Scion FR-S.
Great Job Snoop Dogg!(for all the haters) ; )
2013 Volkswagen Turbo Beetle (VWVortex.com 2013 Super Beetle Project) <— This please
Kaz you are awesome!
Thank you
Best Asian Import: 2013 Scion FR-S Evasive Motorsports
Called it.
Can all of them be in the game.
The Mustang is nice but it has to be the FR-S Evasive.
Rooting for that Mustang RTR, we really need the newer version in GT and also the VW Beetle because it looks like a 911 GT3
im guessing the 2013 mustang is going to win
Hi Jordan,
Do you think you will get a chance to interview Kaz during the event?
VW Turbo Beetle. Cause it's the closest looking to a 911.
The scion would be good to use in custom class races like the ones I do with my online buddies… Like using the tuned HKS Evo in Super GT 300..
That Scion could be added to the grid easily!
2013 Volkswagen Turbo Beetle, i want this car in the game since i sat in it at the Philadelphia auto show last year
RTR Mustang all day.
I cant really decide on any specific car, however the idea of an MR mustang is quite appealing.
I'll take anything except the Beetle and Sequoia. Really love the Mustang and FR-S though.
I want the Scion.
Well I feel Kaz has an affinity towards VW's with the '66 1200, Golf R & Scirocco R, so I'm hoping it's the Beetle
1st Choice – FRS Evasive
2nd Choice – Turbo Beetle
3rd Choice – Sequoia Dragster
Mustangs? No thanks.
The RTR Mustang hands down!!
I want that beige mustang to win…love that body style. The red mustang is a bit too extreme, the beetle's exterior is a bit plain for my taste. The FR-S is pretty cool, but I don't really want it in the game for some reason. The dragster is ugly as frick, but man does it bring back GT2 memories. lol
Lol at the Beetle, and no thank you GT86.
I want the Ford Mach Forty LOVE THAT MUSCLE!!!! I SPIT ON IMPORTS LOL
TBH i just want anything but another GT-R/BRZ,I just really want DLC lol(this month would be epic)
Mothers RTR by far. Either that or the Beetle.
Strangely.. i'm feelin the beetle ;3
No FR-S please too many of the same car in the game.
we need drag cars in gt5 and a proper drag strip with working tree, say like an atomatic tree that lights green every 30 seconds or somthing so people can line up and drag their turn, with a light at the end to show who won….
I want the mustang ..Not a big fan of domestics but that mustang ………………………..
proberbly be the scion tho coz yeh we aint got enough variations of that car yet !!!! ffs
I want either the Beetle Turbo or the Toyota Sequoia :D
We all know the FR-S is going to win.
Though it does look cool. :D
I want it to win, looks so cool! :)
Both Mustangs (even the beetle) are more than welcome.
(altough modeling the FR-S would be easy)
The Sequoia is epic.


text: Our kitchen's color scheme is going from black and stainless to black and red, which I find a charming conversion, with granite counters and marbled floor tiles. The internal doorway from the kitchen to the dining room has a transom that picks up a good bit of light from both rooms, and the stained glass look could be a winner there. I was thinking of doing it on my own. Is the faux stained glass look difficult to do, or should I just hire someone to do the real thing? (Who looks up anyway, right?)

Getting Political with SandyPosted: October 31, 2012 Filed under: Energy Efficiency, Energy Policy, Environmentalism, Politics 3 Comments
Lots of pundits are cautioning Obama and Romney against "playing politics" with the tragic aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. I disagree. I'd say if there was ever a time to play politics, now is it.
As far as I can tell, neither candidate has broken their "climate silence" in relation to Hurricane Sandy – that is, explicitly connect the dots and say in no uncertain terms that Hurricane Sandy was, as George Lakoff so accurately described it, systemically caused by global warming:
Global warming systemically caused the huge and ferocious Hurricane Sandy. And consequently, it systemically caused all the loss of life, material damage, and economic loss of Hurricane Sandy. Global warming heated the water of the Gulf and Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, resulting in greatly increased energy and water vapor in the air above the water. When that happens, extremely energetic and wet storms occur more frequently and ferociously. These systemic effects of global warming came together to produce the ferocity and magnitude of Hurricane Sandy.
The precise details of Hurricane Sandy cannot be predicted in advance, any more than when, or whether, a smoker develops lung cancer, or sex without contraception yields an unwanted pregnancy, or a drunk driver has an accident. But systemic causation is nonetheless causal.
If we do believe that, in the wake of this devastation we must redouble our efforts to prevent future tragedies such as this from occurring, then the most important thing we can do is to play politics. And the first step is to break climate silence. Even if our leaders are unwilling, it is time for us to speak up and face down the deniers.
Please watch and share the clip above to everyone you know. Then help those who are advocating in no uncertain terms for public policies that will curb carbon emissions and promote alternative energies worldwide.

I find it fascinating that virtually all "progressives" that I have encountered also believe in the supposedly human-induced Global Warming theory which is just that, a theory and not a proven fact (it can't be "proven" until detailed observations and models are tested over many, many years). Why should scientific opinions be correlated with political viewpoints? It seems to reflect an overall view of "progressives" that says "we are all doomed", a generally pessimistic outlook on life, a feeling of rage at how the world is run and ultimately despair at the fact that most people don't think this way. Just wait to see the reponse of the "progressive" community should Romney be elected President!
PS-I looked at George Lakoff's column, I thought he would be a climate scientiest or something but it turns out that he is a political activist. Thus, I don't know what qualifications he has to definitely state that this hurricane was caused by "global warming" . It has been known for decades now that the frequency of hurricanes is cyclical which each cycle being decades long and existed long before the "global warming" theory appeared on the scene. Even if the human-caused global warming theory should prove to be true, maybe it will make the weather more mild and there will be less "extreme weather". Why should we assume that global warming makes weather more extreme? Or is this just more "progressive" pessmisism which says "any change just has to be for the worse"?
A dogma of market idolatry is that people acting in their own self interest leads to the common good for all. Global warming shows that unregulated self interest can lead to catastrophe for all. I think most people who proclaim that they don't believe in global warming are market idolitrists who really oppose global warming for religious reasons no matter how much they might argue about the science.

We awake to our first full day of Berlin sightseeing. Full breakfast at our hotel was surprisingly good and of course Adam uses this opportunity to experiment and try every type of sliced meat and liver pate under the sun, he's quite the happy camper. Driving off the premises and seeing the city in the daylight truly captures the essence of what living in the city under communist rule once was, architecture still captures the essence of minimalist and monothematic "cookie-cutter" high-rise buildings. It's striking to see the difference in the atmosphere from one side to the other; it's visibly apparent and quite compelling the differences they underwent when just over the wall life was so different.
Our first stop of the day is the infamous "Check-point Charlie"
Before I finish this off, and on a somewhat serious note I must add that there is one particular public freedom that is not currently a part of the general civilian public life of every German and that it the right to the free use of public bathrooms!?
More details about Prague and Budapest plus pics to come!!!!! (I've been in this McDonalds for over an hour now and ready to go!) Free WiFi is so much tastier than an egg McMuffin.

Small operators targeting M2M growth should forget about the largest and most obvious opportunities and focus on "the long tail of smaller contracts", where they can differentiate themselves more easily and provide a highly valued service.
Such is the recommendation of market-research firm Analysys Mason, which expects global cellular-connectivity revenues from the provision of M2M services to generate $15 billion in 2018, up from about $5 billion in 2013.
Although much of the value is tied to a small number of large contracts in the automotive and utilities sectors, Analysys Mason believes there is considerable opportunity elsewhere for smaller players if they position themselves appropriately.
According to the company, to compete against larger players smaller players to need to invest in device connectivity platforms as well as dedicated M2M teams.
Larger operators like Vodafone (Newbury, UK) have developed their own systems for managing M2M connections, but small operators should consider buying platforms from vendors such as Ericsson (Stockholm, Sweden) and Jasper Wireless (Mountain View, CA, USA).
Sri Lanka's Dialog Axiata (Colombo) already appears to have taken that advice, having signed a deal to use Ericsson's Device Connection Platform this week.
Analysys Mason calculates that at a low volume of 500,000 connections, this option represents a net present value increase of 78% in comparison with using legacy platform infrastructure over a five-year period.
Successful operators have also tended to build up dedicated M2M teams for activities like marketing, sales, platform support and partnership management.
Other recommendations of Analysys Mason are that smaller operators prioritize existing enterprise customers as targets for M2M solutions, and that they avoid "highly competitive verticals".
The market-research company says that to increase the effectiveness of their M2M business development effort, operators should segment their sales force based on an enterprise's volume of connections rather than its number of employees, which is their typical approach.
It notes that large enterprises do not necessarily have a high number of M2M connections.
Most importantly, it says, operators should steer clear of M2M applications that have attracted lots of interest from large operators like AT&T (Dallas, TX, USA), Telefonica (Madrid, Spain) and Vodafone.
A better option would be to form partnerships with application providers that can help them provide solutions catering to more niche opportunities.
MB Connect Line (Ilsfeld), a German company specializing in remote maintenance of heavy equipment, is one potential partner.
Others include Aerotel Medical Systems (Holon), an Israeli developer of remote monitoring systems and personal trackers, and Priva (De Lier), a Dutch provider of building energy management systems.

Former RockHounds Thrive in Oakland
Eight RockHounds Alumni Part of ALDS
By Bob Hards / Midland RockHounds | October 23, 2013 1:12 PM ET
The Oakland Athletics didn't play as late into October as they hoped, but the A's captured their second consecutive American League West championship and met the Detroit Tigers in a dramatic American League Division Series.
Oakland's roster for the ALDS included eight former RockHounds:
Brett Anderson (2008), Daric Barton (2005), Jerry Blevins (2007), Sean Doolittle (2008, 12), Josh Donaldson (2009), Sonny Gray (2011,12), Dan Straily (2012), Kurt Suzuki (2006)
While an injury cost him a spot on Oakland's post-season roster, A.J. Griffin won 14 games for the A's in the regular season (14-10, 3.83), second on the club only to Bartolo Colon (18).
Adding Griffin to the eight alums on the ALDS roster … four-of-the-nine played here in 2012 (Griffin, Doolittle, Gray, and Straily). A fifth member of the 2012 RockHounds, Michael Choice, also appeared for the A's at the big league level in 2013. The former UT-Arlington star was a September call-up and is Oakland's top outfield prospect.
Two other 'Hounds alums also appeared in the playoffs. Vin Mazzaro had an outstanding season in Pittsburgh's bullpen, helping the Pirates reach the playoffs for the first time since 1992 (one of baseball's great stories), while Andre Ethier and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Atlanta Braves before falling to St. Louis in the National League Championship Series. Mazzaro pitched for the RockHounds in 2008, posting a 12-3 mark with a franchise-record 1.90 earned run average. He is the only Cubs, Angels, or RockHounds pitcher to be named Texas League Pitcher of the Year. Ethier, the 2005 Texas League Player of the Year, had a breakout season with the 'Hounds, one which led almost directly to The Show. Andre was traded from the A's to Los Angeles in the off-season and made his big league debut with the Dodgers in '06.
Each of the five former RockHounds who saw significant playing time with Oakland made a major impact with the A's:
Sean Doolittle, in just his second full season as a pitcher, had a 3.30 ERA in 70 relief appearances for Oakland, emerging as one of the American League's top late-inning relievers. Remarkably, the left-hander was drafted out of the University of Virginia as a position player (he was a two-way star with the Cavaliers) and began pitching at the professional level only after being sidelined by a series of injuries. He made his Major League debut on the mound after just 17 minor league appearances (eight of those with the RockHounds).
Sean is also one of just 10 players to be nominated for the 2013 Hutch Award. One of MLB's most prestigious off-the-diamond honors, the annual award (established in 1975) goes to a player who has overcome adversity in his personal and/or professional life, and also recognizes a player's humanitarian service. Three RockHounds alums have been named Hutch Award winners - - - Mark Teahen (2009), Tim Hudson (2010) and Barry Zito (2012). Tim and Barry were members of the 1999 RockHounds; Mark played here in 2004.
Josh Donaldson's emergence as an all-star caliber third baseman might be considered as remarkable a story as Doolittle's transformation. A .232 hitter as a big leaguer entering the season, and a catcher throughout most of his minor league career (including 2009 with the 'Hounds), Josh broke through in 2013. He hit .301, with 24 home runs and 93 RBI, earning both All-Star and MVP consideration (ESPN's David Schoenfield, among many others, ranked Josh among the top five AL MVP candidates).
Sonny Gray was a mid-season call-up, making his Major League debut on July 10 and finishing the regular season at 5-3, 2.67 in 12 games (10 starts) for the A's. Perhaps the best perspective on his season - - - Sonny's first start of 2013 came at (Triple-A) Sacramento against the Las Vegas 51s (six shutout innings). His last two starts came in the ALDS, facing Justin Verlander in both games, and matching one of the great pitchers of this era, virtually pitch-for-pitch. Oakland's top draft choice just two years ago (the 18th player selected overall in 2011) out of Vanderbilt, Sonny suffered a thumb injury (to his non-pitching hand) in Game 5 of the ALDS, and has undergone successful surgery. He is expected to be back … as a top-of-the-rotation candidate … for the Athletics in 2014.
A.J. Griffin's path to the big leagues was similar to Gray's. In 2012, A.J. was the RockHounds' opening night starter at North Little Rock, Arkansas. His last start of that season was in the ALDS, against the Tigers, at Comerica Park in Detroit. In 2013, A.J. picked up where here left off, recording 14 wins (tied for eighth in the AL) and ranking 24th among all eligible AL starters with a 3.83 ERA.
Dan Straily's career has rocketed, beginning with his 2012 breakout campaign. Pitching for the Double-A RockHounds and the Triple-A Sacramento RiverCats, Dan led all of Minor League Baseball in strikeouts (190). In 2013, despite shuttling between the RiverCats and Oakland, he was a 10-game winner for the A's (10-8. 3.96 in 27 starts). He started Game 5 of the ALDS, opposing the Tigers' Doug Fister, going six innings and allowing three runs on four hits, with no walks and eight strikeouts in a no-decision.
Last Word: Congratulations To Three More Texas League Alums … The Boys In Blue
The odds of reaching the Major Leagues as an umpire are far "longer" than those of a player. To then be selected as a member of the World Series umpiring crew is a remarkable achievement and honor. Half of the six-man crew named to work the 2013 Fall Classic is made up of Texas League alums: Dana DeMuth (1979-80), Jim Joyce (1980) and Bill Miller (1993-94). This is DeMuth's fifth Series, tying him for most among active big league umpires. It is the third assignment for Joyce (Dana and Jim also serve as crew chiefs in the regular season) and the second for Miller.

how to deal with the cheap toilet seat flushing system
I purchased a low end toilet for the basement. it is small. the tank use some old fashion techology like a cap which got pulled up by a chain then water got flush down.... it works for a few months.
now the cap leak waster, so water constant running down to the bowl....I cutoff water supply for now, turn off the switch..
what is the best plan of attack to this ?
1. replace the cap? I kind of find it hard to believe that a cap alone can block off water from running down though... but if this is the proper way... then I will do that.
2. replace the tank with a higher quality one like "American Standard-flush master"...etc.
3. replace the internal core part with a higher quality one although this means using the similar cap blocking technology....
Can you post a photo of the "cap"?
Sounds like you just need to replace the "flapper"
Less than $5.
Sounds to me like the fill valve has gotten debris inside. Got old galv pipes? sometimes you can remove the top of the valve and clean out the junk, or replace with a new one.
I see... after searching the web, I know what you meant... just a bit worry the "flapper" is not the standard one, as it is not flat when closing... the hole is kind of has a 30 degree slope, so when closing the flapper is line 30 degree slope.... don't know the standard will work for this type of design.... anyway... will visit HD to find out... thanks...
browse this site.
Got it resolve, take it out, clean it, find out there is a small plastic thread being stuck in causing the gap, the plastic thread probably loose out from some part then got flow into the flapper by water.... the key is able to know this thing called "flapper" and able to research on the internet once know this name... and got it resolved..... trust me... many people will simply called a plumber or go away and buy a new tank when facing this situation.... I used to do that ....

Colorado Rockies vs. Milwaukee Brewers
TicketsFri., Aug. 18, 6:40pm
Climbing and speed-climbing on the Bridge Towers.
Go Fast is dedicated to encouraging sports enthusiasts by creating products that inspire them to stay active and Go Fast!
From October 6-12, 2003, Red Bull King of the Air will return for its fifth year to the wind-whipped north shore of Maui. The event will showcase the world's most progressive kiteboarders in what is regarded as the premier kiteboarding event of the season. Kiters will be looking to impress judges with their overall ability in two disciplines: Freestyle and Big Air.
Red Bull is the ideal energy drink for all those who want to (or have to) feel awake in body and mind. Wherever and whenever. Red Bull gives you wings.
"On October 11, Go Fast Sports and Beverage Company is proud to sponsor the Bandimere Skate-Skiing Games. Wearing only Go Fast brand shorts, T-shirts and nose rings, the area's most radical athletes, sponsored by the Go Fast brand, will ride a skateboard while being towed behind drag-race cars driving nearly 300 mph. Judges will note which riders arrive at the finish line. Extra points can be earned for avoiding crash debris in a gnarly way. The Colorado Rockies provide an exhilarating backdrop.
"Go Fast is an exciting mixture of vitamins and mild legal stimulants that inspires aspiring athletes to Drink Up and Dig Deep!"
"On October 12, Red Bull Soaring Squirrel will be held for the first time ever over the unforgiving Salt Flats of Utah. This extreme event highlights omnivorous young daredevils from Red Bull's stable of athletes being dropped out of an airplane at 10,000 feet while wearing only Red Bull-style singlets and Zori brand flip-flops. Lift, if any, will be provided by standard Ping-Pong paddles, of which each contestant will be issued two. Of similar events being promoted, this one is the better, experts say. Judges will watch.
"Red Bull is a high-spirited and tenacious caffeine-based sport drink that makes young sportsmen and -women Hum With Chemical Energy."
"On October 18, Go Fast Sports and Beverage Company is excited to stage an event regarded as more compelling than others of its kind, featuring our brand's most convivial young thrill-seekers competing for boatloads of Go Fast shwag. Come watch the latest and most synergistic moves of Extreme Rollerblade Laser Tag, in which Go Fast's collection of energy-drink-sponsored athletes, many nearly into their teens, career around a closed arena on Rollerblades while trying to shoot each other with real lasers. The venue is perched high upon the White Cliffs of Dover. Points will be awarded for unique skating moves, exceptional verve and clean burn wounds.
"Go Fast is an exuberant beverage laced with nearly FDA-approved Chinese herbs and other chemically enigmatic 'pepper-uppers' that force young users to Fly Low and Take Chances!"
"On October 19, Red Bull's Helicopter Boxing Team takes to the skies for the Red Bull Punch, Climb and Kill Challenge. Teams of fanatical pugilists will dangle from razor-sharp tethers attached to Black Hawk choppers hovering over Ankar Wat. In what is widely regarded as the premier event of its kind, polytheistic contestants will compete to score points by knocking out their opponents, ascending the other team's tether and terminating with extreme prejudice the opposing extreme pilot. Judges and emergency medical technicians will assess the results on a first-come, first-served basis.
"Red Bull is an effervescent amphetamine-based liquid that takes hold of an athlete's central nervous system and squeezes it like a vice. Red Bull inspires you to Quiver With Nervous Power."
"On October 25, Colorado's Go Fast Sports and Beverage Company is willing to present the Go Fast Nunchakus Gauntlet. Staged at the foot of the remains of giant Buddha carvings in rural Afghanistan, this event, which aficionados claim is the apex of the energy-drink nunchakus tour, spotlights the most piquant of Go Fast's remaining athletes. Each sponsored participant will run through a narrow human passage while being beaten with Chinese combat fighting sticks. Wearing Go Fast's new line of ŒGauntlet Gear,' athletes will be evaluated based on foot speed and plasma retention.
"Go Fast is an energy drink like heroin is a headache remedy. Our special recipe combines anabolic steroids, human adrenal glands harvested from INS detainees and distilled essence of chamomile into a potent elixir that Propels the Athlete Who Has No Pre-existing Heart Condition."
"The final weekend of the month features the Red Bull Submersible Shark Dare. Showcasing the obsidian waters of Gdansk, on October 26, Red Bull's athletes will be pitted against each other and nature's most garrulous competitors. Our ebullient energy-drink-sponsored middle-schoolers, wearing little but their nose plugs and Red Bull loincloths, are hauled behind an aging Soviet nuclear submarine into a school of sharks while holding a recently executed goat. Judges will be looking for contestants to maintain homeostasis.
"Red Bull uses pharmaceutical-grade crystal meth and human growth hormone in a patented formula designed to pluck the body's large-twitch muscle fibers like a banjo's A-string. Red Bull: When Long-Term Health Just Isn't the Point."
"Kick off November with Go Fast's first-of-its-kind event -- the post-Royal Gorge Bridge Extreme Interment! Watch as the country's sickest daredevils gather for a soaring-but-somber sendoff for one of their own, in a bucolic setting dotted with some of the area's most awesome headstones. They'll wear 'wing suits' designed to mimic the aerodynamic properties of a flying squirrel, which thirty-year-old Australian Dwain Weston donned last month when he executed a nearly perfect parachute freefall over the Royal Gorge Bridge. Phat pallbearers, stoked by Go Fast energy drink and clothed in Go Fast's very recently released Last Rites line of extreme formalwear, will help propel Weston to his final BASE jump. Our all-in-black judges will be looking for mourners to exhibit the tiniest degree of sanity.
"Go Fast provides a slight pick-me-up while bearing no legal responsibility for the actions of its consumers. Tune in for next month's Go Fast Sports' Ex-Games."

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — With the inshore white shrimp season getting close, biologists are asking shrimpers to keep an eye out for Asian tiger prawns, and to send photos.
The Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission set dates Thursday for the inshore shrimp season. Part of Chandeleur Sound is already open. Remaining inside waters will open Aug. 12 — at 6 a.m. west of the Atchafalaya River and at 6 p.m. east of the Atchafalaya.
The big plump white shrimp caught in the fall are the most important for Louisiana fishermen.
Tiger shrimp are lots bigger, growing up to 14 inches long and weighing up to 1 ? pounds. State biologist Robert Bourgeois is asking anyone who catches tiger shrimp to report date, location and numbers — and if possible, to send photographs.

Do you like Flock of Dodos ?
Join aNobii to see if your friends read it, and discover similar books!
National Lampoon veteran Barrett Brown and Professor of Sociology Jon P. Alston, Ph.D, answer these questions - and perhaps one or two others -in a superbly unorthodox, serenely offensive and splendidly hilarious look at the forces behind the most talked-about pseudo-theory in modern history.
In Flock of Dodos, the reader will discover ominous parallels between Billy Joel's greaser anthem Uptown Girl and chief intelligent design proponent William Dembski, the wholly non-Christian origins of the United States, the goofy history of the creation science movement, secrets of a happy marriage to anti-feminist icon Phylis Schafly, stunning evidence that William Jennings Bryan might not have been all that bright, the the three interesting things that occurred in 2004, and the true nature of the millennia-old Conspiracy of Nonsense that threatens the very fiber of Western Civilization.

SEATTLE, Monday—The weather continued glorious yesterday. we visited a most interesting garden, the heart of which is a running stream which operates all kinds of entertaining gadgets as it runs along. A little house on the edge of the brook is divided into living quarters and a sawmill. You see the tugboat hauling the logs up for use, and the various ways of cutting wood are shown. On the other side of the house the family sit, and as the mill wheel turns, the fisherman by the side of the stream pulls out his fish, the child on the rocking horse rocks, the cradle rocks, the old man reading his paper nods his head, and little musical tunes accompany the general activity. Everywhere you turn you see some new and ingenious device for making this garden entertaining, and I can quite believe that it has furnished its owner with many hours of pleasant exercise.
The children joined us for a scrambly walk through the woods. Just across the hill, however, there was target practice going on, as the land is part of the Fort Lawton reservation, and we wondered, once or twice, whether we were getting a little too near the shooting. We had some glorious views of the Bay, and returned to an early lunch and two hours of sitting in the sun. The first time this year that I have enjoyed this particular form of pleasant inactivity! It had the effect of making me very sleepy, and though the interest of meeting a number of friends who came in the afternoon kept us all very wide awake, we found that in the early evening, even the work we were trying to do faded from sight!
Today is my daughter's birthday, and the first thing this morning the children had to present their gifts. Little Eleanor was in bed with a slight cold, but she had her gift all ready beside her bed, and could hardly wait for her mother to come upstairs. I went up first, and was quite conscious of the fact that I would be more popular when I produced her mother. Curtis refused to get off to school until his presentation was made, and we had all admired their choice of both presents and birthday cards. The birthday cards had evidently given them a great deal of pleasure beforehand, so they waited anxiously while they were being read. My daughter said "We will have a cake at suppertime," and Curtis' eyes shone, and he said "A real party, Mummy?" which was promised, and he went off cheerfully.
Anna and I are in her office now, and I feel quite overwhelmed by the many kind letters and messages which have come to me from people living here. There are also many people who were kind enough to want us to do or to see a variety of things. I only wish that time would allow us to do them all. As it is, this is really a vacation primarily to see the children, and my time is so short that I have to say "No" to everything, because it would be so difficult to choose between the many interesting and pleasant things which have been suggested.

Trends in real estate private equity
Fund managers are building stronger, more robust platforms. These platforms are more transparent and flexible to revived market conditions and targeted investor appetites and demands.
The combination of investors' interest in real estate's investment potential and stricter regulations has driven real estate fund managers to drastically rethink, and in some cases overhaul, their investment and operating strategies over the last five years. Much of that time was spent in survival mode, where managers made adjustments to fee structures or service offerings in order to stay afloat.
By now, however, investor interests are so sufficiently well-defined that managers should be shifting their attention to long-term strategy.
Getting in front of limited partners
Recognizing investors' favoritism towards fund managers with proven track records and flexibility toward their focused investment interests, few managers remain exclusively committed to closed-end fund models. Today's successful managers understand that, to stand out in a heavily saturated market, they have to broaden their services.
Rethinking joint ventures
Joint ventures have long been a staple for doing deals in real estate. Now, as the downturn exposed lapses in due diligence and documentation across the sector, fund managers are taking a closer look at their partnership structures, and putting greater transparency measures in place, particularly around property management practices.
As real estate fund administration services become more sophisticated, fund managers are increasingly outsourcing internal functions.
Many are investing heavily in building complete outsourcing packages that include property accounting, along with fund administration, such as depository bank services. Combining these services means offering fund managers "one-stop shop" platforms that are especially attractive to large, global funds, which are driving this trend as a cost-savings decision.
Deal flow
Pricing disparities between top international markets and all others continue to widen, and real estate opportunistic equity funds and others with higher-return strategies are finding themselves all but priced out of primary cities. In addition to diversifying geographically, managers are extending further on both the risk and creativity spectrums to get deals done.
Interest rates and cap rate expansion
The real estate market is coming to an inflection point. As investors anticipate continued interest rate rises, many are contemplating their strategies for realizing asset value in light of more expenses, debt and cap rates rising.
Interest rates and cap rates rising*
The commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) market has made a significant comeback in the United States; however, the latest securitized real estate deals look very different from 2007, and private equity funds are at the head of a wave of "megadeals," or those greater than US$1 billion.
US CMBS issuance
SEC examinations
Most real estate fund managers that meet the threshold of US$150 million assets under management have now gone through the process of SEC registration, and are now taking steps to prepare for potential examinations.

Thank you he's not a good qb. Give ELI those weapons and that D the niners would be 5-0. Alex Smith has to get patted on the head like a little boy to play it is sickening. I stand by what I say. There is no reason to have have all those weapons and be next to last in passing offense. If the Giants take away VD the niners are going to lose.

Dantrium Capsules
FDA Approves Ocrevus for Relapsing, Primary Progressive MS »
"The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the humanized monoclonal antibody ocrelizumab (Ocrevus, La Roche) for both relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) and primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) in adults, the agency "...
Read the FDA Approves Ocrevus for Relapsing, Primary Progressive MS article »
Dantrium Capsules
It is important to recognize that fatal and non-fatal liver disorders of an idiosyncratic or hypersensitivity type may occur with Dantrium therapy.
At the start of Dantrium therapy, it is desirable to do liver function studies (SGOT, SGPT, alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin) for a baseline or to establish whether there is pre-existing liver disease. If baseline liver abnormalities exist and are confirmed, there is a clear possibility that the potential for Dantrium hepatotoxicity could be enhanced, although such a possibility has not yet been established.
Liver function studies (e.g., SGOT or SGPT) should be performed at appropriate intervals during Dantrium therapy. If such studies reveal abnormal values, therapy should generally be discontinued. Only where benefits of the drug have been of major importance to the patient, should reinitiation or continuation of therapy be considered. Some patients have revealed a return to normal laboratory values in the face of continued therapy while others have not.
If symptoms compatible with hepatitis, accompanied by abnormalities in liver function tests or jaundice appear, Dantrium should be discontinued. If caused by Dantrium and detected early, the abnormalities in liver function characteristically have reverted to normal when the drug was discontinued.
Dantrium therapy has been reinstituted in a few patients who have developed clinical and/or laboratory evidence of hepatocellular injury. If such reinstitution of therapy is done, it should be attempted only in patients who clearly need Dantrium and only after previous symptoms and laboratory abnormalities have cleared. The patient should be hospitalized and the drug should be restarted in very small and gradually increasing doses. Laboratory monitoring should be frequent and the drug should be withdrawn immediately if there is any indication of recurrent liver involvement. Some patients have reacted with unmistakable signs of liver abnormality upon administration of a challenge dose, while others have not.
Dantrium should be used with particular caution in females and in patients over 35 years of age in view of apparent greater likelihood of drug-induced, potentially fatal, hepatocellular disease in these groups. Spontaneous reports suggest a higher proportion of hepatic events with fatal outcome in elderly patients receiving Dantrium. However, the majority of these cases were complicated with confounding factors such as intercurrent illnesses and/or concomitant potentially hepatotoxic medications (see Geriatric Use subsection).
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
Long-term safety of Dantrium in humans has not been established. Chronic studies in rats, dogs, and monkeys at dosages greater than 30 mg/kg/day showed growth or weight depression and signs of hepatopathy and possible occlusion nephropathy, all of which were reversible upon cessation of treatment. Sprague-Dawley female rats fed dantrolene sodium for 18 months at dosage levels of 15, 30, and 60 mg/kg/day showed an increased incidence of benign and malignant mammary tumors compared with concurrent controls.At the highest dose level, there was an increase in the incidence of benign lymphatic neoplasms. In a 30-month study at the same dose levels also in Sprague-Dawley rats, dantrolene sodium produced a decrease in the time of onset of mammary neoplasms. Female rats at the highest dose level showed an increased incidence of hepatic lymphangiomas and hepatic angiosarcomas.
The only drug-related effect seen in a 30-month study in Fischer-344 rats was a dose-related reduction in the time of onset of mammary and testicular tumors. A 24-month study in HaM/ICR mice revealed no evidence of carcinogenic activity. Carcinogenicity in humans cannot be fully excluded, so that this possible risk of chronic administration must be weighed against the benefits of the drug (i.e., after a brief trial) for the individual patient.
Dantrolene sodium has produced positive results in the Ames S. Typhimurium bacterial mutagenesis assay in the presence and absence of a liver activating system.
Pregnancy Category C: Pregnancy Category C: Adequate animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Dantrium. It is also not known whether Dantrium can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Dantrium should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
Labor and Delivery
In one non-randomized open-label study, 21 term pregnant patients received prophylactic oral Dantrium 100 mg per day for 2 to 10 days prior to delivery. Dantrolene readily crossed the placenta with maternal and fetal whole blood levels approximately equal at delivery; neonatal levels then fell approximately 50% per day for 2 days before declining sharply. No neonatal respiratory and neuromuscular side effects were detected at low dose. More data, at higher doses, are needed before more definitive conclusions can be made.
Nursing Mothers
Dantrium should not be used in nursing mothers.
Usage in Pediatric Patients
The long-term safety of Dantrium in pediatric patients under the age of 5 years has not been established. Because of the possibility that adverse effects of the drug could become apparent only after many years, a benefit-risk consideration of the long-term use of Dantrium is particularly important in pediatric patients.
Geriatric Use
Clinical studies of Dantrium did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience in the literature has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy. As with all patients receiving Dantrium, it is recommended that elderly patients receive the lowest dose compatible with the optimal response. Spontaneous reports suggest a higher proportion of hepatic events with fatal outcome in elderly patients receiving Dantrium. However, the majority of these cases were complicated with confounding factors such as intercurrent illnesses and/or concomitant potentially hepatotoxic medications (for hepatotoxicity details and its management see Black Box and WARNINGS Sections).
Dantrium should be used with caution in patients with impaired pulmonary function, particularly those with obstructive pulmonary disease, and in patients with severely impaired cardiac function due to myocardial disease. Dantrium is associated with pleural effusion with associated eosinophilia. It should be used with caution in patients with a history of previous liver disease or dysfunction (see WARNINGS).This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

I was mentioning that I loved office 2003, hate the word program that comes with 7, and that a while ago I installed easily and sucessfully, windows 2003 into windows 7. I tried it (including excel) and it woks perfectly. And, I was just mentioning it.

Hi clif1982, I successfully installed 2003 in win7 and had no probs whatsoever, was also able to run 2007 as well with minor problems ( I don't use Access ): I do like 2003. Why do they (M$) mess around so much? The Bind Moggles!

Jurancon Uroulat 2013
Charles Hours
This wine from the Jurancon region of south-west France displays versitility, being able to be drunk young or laid down. Medium sweet on the palette, this wine isn't overbearing in terms of sweetness. Tons of complexity in this wine, with approximately 20% barrel fermentation to give a full-bodied toastiness. Perfect as digestif with semi-hard cheeses.
