This has been a tough summer without my Cablegirl. I loved her so..she is always in my heart.
I have been really depressed this summer. She was the kitty I loved..so much. She would sit on the back of my wheelchair on my ventilator.
I hope she is having fun at the bridge.

Moreland and Arbuckle
Just a Dream
US: 23 Aug 2011
UK: Import
Aaron Moreland and Dustin Arbuckle know that if you don't grow, you simply grow old, hence the strides the pair take on their second offering for the Telarc label. What's perhaps most remarkable about Just a Dream is the manner in which the Wichita, Kansas-based duo—augmented here by drummer Brad Horner, who has since left the band—fuse not only their influences with their own vision of roots music but how they fuse their present so seamlessly to their past.
From the beginning, Moreland and Arbuckle have always been more than a blues band; their earliest live gigs drew as much from the North Mississippi Allstars as from Mississippi Fred McDowell, as much from Gov't Mule as from R.L. Burnside, as much from the blues itself as from R&B and classic rock 'n' roll. All those elements remain intact here, while others have found their way into the sonic stew.
The opening "Brown Bomber" is the sound of roots enthusiasts who are well aware of '90s rock radio and who know that once upon a time Black Sabbath was a blues band called Earth. In short, it's heavy and melodic, as swift and certain in its seek-and-destroy mission as a missile piercing a graphene skirt. Moreland's guitar tone has never been more fluid, oozing from the speakers like the slow and seductive speech of a summer afternoon in Georgia, as it is not just there but through most of the album.
It's this heavy and serious vibe that prevails through much of Just a Dream, whether the first single, "Purgatory", the slow and stomping "Travel Every Mile", and the Physical Graffiti-feeling "Troll" or "So Low", a track highly familiar to longtime M&A fans that receives its definitive studio reading here. While that vibe dominates, there are moments that are perhaps less intense but nevertheless necessary for their more uplifting sounds and sentiments. The titular cut is a prime example—with a cosmos-bound chorus that would make the Black Crowes either proud or jealous, it could easily be the track that lands the group serious and sustained airplay. (Why it wasn't chosen as the first single is one of those things that baffles and boggles.)
The ballad-ish "Shadow Never Changes" is a welcome surprise, as is the cover of the Tom Waits classic "Heartattack and Vine" (a longtime live favorite) and the chugging, country-inflected (and Steve Cropper penned) closer, "White Lightinin'"; it's that number that caps off what is undoubtedly the best Moreland and Arbuckle album to date and what verges very, very close to being a career-defining release. (Only "Gypsy Violin" disappoints, and one wonders what on earth possessed the pair to include it here.)
But Moreland and Arbuckle have always shown that their best work is still ahead of them—a good problem to have, especially considering that the musical partners have now made a half-dozen records together, a point at which many bands are beginning not only to repeat themselves but also beginning to sound beaten, battered and ready to call it a day. That's not the case here, and that's cause for M&A fans, both new and old, to rejoice.

Enjoy frugal holiday fun
Plan ahead for the upcoming holidays. If buying gifts or supplies far in advance isn't your thing, you can still think about ideas for free and low-cost ways to enjoy the season.
What frugal activities or traditions have you done during the holiday season? Here are a few ideas.
Pick up a jigsaw puzzle and put it together with friends and family. You don't have to finish it in one night. Leave it out during the holidays. It's a great way for everyone to sit together and talk.
Look for upcoming free or low-cost concerts and plays. They're often held in schools and churches. As you search for upcoming concerts, you're bound to come across free community events, such as tree-lighting ceremonies, living nativities, festivals and parades.
Give back to your community. Find volunteer opportunities at www.volunteermatch.org or call local nursing homes or shelters to find out how you can help. Or visit www.anysoldier.com to send a care package or a letter to a soldier. You can donate to Angel Tree, Operation Christmas Child or Toys for Tots, too.
Call and ask about winter hikes, walking tours or snowshoeing. You might be pleasantly surprised by the workshops and clubs that meet and activities that are offered during the winter months.
Many libraries offer book clubs, movie nights and crafts. Some libraries offer writers' workshops, business seminars and computer classes, as well.
You can host a swap party to exchange toys, clothes, cookies, books, household items or almost anything. Or have everyone bring ingredients for gingerbread houses. While you're gathering swap items, declutter and sell anything you no longer want to boost your Christmas fund.
Many state parks have special seasonal offerings. Check local listings to find out upcoming events.
Don't think that it's necessary to stuff stockings with toys or candy. One reader, Sarah from Illinois, shares: "As for stocking stuffers, when I was young, we had a few things put in our stocking, but mostly Santa stocked them with fresh fruit (oranges, apples and bananas). We then took our fresh fruit and made a fruit salad for Christmas breakfast. I realize that this also saved my parents money from having to stuff our entire stocking with presents. So we do the same for our kids!"
Ice skate, build a snowman, go sledding, feed winter birds or see holiday lights.
Set the DVR. Many family favorites are featured during ABC Family's "25 Days of Christmas." Another reader, Polly from Pennsylvania, shares: "We do our own kind of Advent. It's more of a counting-down-the-days-until-Christmas kind of thing. We watch a tape of a Christmas special, one each night as we count down. Everyone has their favorite. We make a big deal out of it. I put out cookies or special cakes and serve homemade eggnog or hot chocolate, too. It's lots of fun." Have a family campout in the living room, too.
With a retail price of $25, this is a terrific holiday tradition to start in your home. The little elf lives in your home and watches and listens to what goes on, and he reports to Santa each night. When he returns, he lands in a new location in your home and friends and family have to find out where he landed. For more information, visit www.elfontheshelf.com. Clearly, the most frugal of readers can modify this tradition and spend less.
Read about traditions from around the world and see if you'd like to add any. Visit tlc.howstuffworks.com/family/christmas-traditions-around-the-world-ga.htm for a listing. One of our traditions is Christmas pinatas. Instead of it being a game to play while blindfolded, we hide small gifts and treats inside. This is a creative way to give new socks and underwear to kids. We use it to hold any gift cards, batteries, and small items such as hair clips or money they receive, so these don't get lost in the shuffle, too.

Unable to build CM due to kernel.org still being down from being hacked a few weeks ago, in the meantime have a look at this post for more gingerbread goodness: http://www.slatedroi...post__p__235998
Have no illusions, before going any further be warned that this is still very much a work in progress! Google Apps may not be working as expected.
Introducing CyanogenMod 7.1 For Hannspad
CyanogenMod 7.1 is based on android version 2.3.5 (latest Gingerbread), it also includes a "Tablet Tweaks" section in its settings, allowing you to change things from status bar behaviour and position, as well as where or if soft buttons on the status bar appear.
Before we proceed, I'd like to thank Slatedroid member and newly-found kernel dev ab73 for making this release possible and with as many features as it can have
The custom (non-official CM) kernel this rom uses is fairly regularly updated to the point where making a new release for every kernel would be more trouble than it's worth - to that end the latest version of ab73's kernel can always be found HERE along with known issues. To install kernel updates just move them to your SD card and flash via CWM as described for installing roms.
Changes from stock CM 7.1
- mount of internal sdcard changed in vold.fstab to /sdcard, sdcard2 changed to /emmc
- DSPManager.apk removed temporarily due to force close issue
- First full AOSP rom for the Hannspad!
- Runs on ab73's modified version of pershoot's CM kernel!
- Full Accelerometer and Soft Touch button support thanks to ab73!
- Overclockable (download setcpu)!
- CM7 has "Tablet Tweaks" in settings, enabling you to do what you like with the task bar
- More!
Known/Assumed issues
- Google Apps may or may not be installing correctly, further investigation needed
- WiFi signal may not be full strength
- Build is from a1002 repo, when the kernel gets updated (in CM repo) this should be changed to a1011
- build.prop is incorrect for our device
This list will be kept up-to-date as issues are reported!
Install instructions
Assuming you have CWM installed;
1. Mount storage and copy the zip to the root
2. Reboot into CWM
3. Make a backup of your current install
4. Wipe data/factory reset
5. Install zip from sdcard
6. Choose zip from sdcard, select update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-hannspad-KANG-081711.zip
7. Wait patiently, then reboot.
CyanogenMod 7
CM7.1 Hannspad download
Google Apps - install using same steps as for full rom

Your Ministry in Jesus, Not for Jesus
As the school year starts, we are once again inundated with activities large and small. We plan outreaches, we meet with leaders, we welcome new students, and we start small groups.
At busy times like this, I can find myself doing what I think Jesus would do, rather than first focusing on being who Jesus wants me to be. I may, in fact, be called to do lots of ministry activities, but I am often tempted to do them "for Jesus" rather than "in Jesus." Jesus tells us quite directly that apart from him we can do nothing (John 15). Only when we are branches directly connected to the vine can we bear fruit.

Four fire companies were called to battle a barn fire in Wayne Monday morning.
When firefighters first arrived on scene a at the West Lake Road location shortly after 9, they found an outdoor storage barn engulfed in flames. Hammondsport, Bradford and Tyrone firefighters responded under mutual aid and helped extinguished the blaze so that half of the barn and some of its equipment were saved.
Investigators say no live stock were hurt in the blaze. No word yet on the cause.

This is a Layout showing a picture I really like from one of my cats, Byakko. First, I deceided that the awesome light I got when I took this picture wasn´t enough, and changed colors in photoshop.

text: Arturo Vidal has struggled with injury of late but he remains one of Europe's hottest properties. He's been a target for both Barcelona and Real Madrid in the past, as well as for clubs in England. The Chilean is an all-action midfielder who would be a welcome addition in Mourinho's team due to his work rate. Juventus would likely demand an astronomical fee for the midfielder, but Chelsea are proving to be shrewd players in the market, and a sale of Luiz could help fund a move for Vidal.

Reviews for One-Pot Spaghetti Dinner
"My family enjoyed the flavors of this meal. I prefer a non-meat spaghetti dish, but I would make this again. I made a few changes but only after I prepared the recipe as it reads above. I added diced green peppers and mushrooms and thought that the sauce was a little bland for my taste at that point. (I had used V8 low sodium in lieu of tomato juice.) Raiding the spice cabinet, I added about 2 T of sugar and 1 T. of Penzey's Mural of Spice. With these additions, I thought that recipe had a bit more depth of flavor."
"Very good. I used diced onion instead of minced and added diced green peppers."
"I made a few changes due to availability and preferences. First of all, I swapped out the mushrooms for diced bell peppers, and used one small onion. I did not have tomato juice or diced tomatoes, so used a second can of tomato sauce and a can of "25% less sodium chicken broth". I used ground pork for my meat, and used only black pepper, dried mustard, and allspice for seasoning. Compared to the recipe as written it should have been too thick, but I thought it was perfect. My husband, who usually does not like tomato sauces, said it was delicious. It doesn't get much better than that! I will make this again!"
"Loved the allspice in this! I left out the mace.......but the allspice was so subtle. New, go to recipe for quick spaghetti!"
"Loved it batter than jar brands. I also had no allspice and mace so I left it out. I used real small onion and 1/8 teaspoon of onion powder instead of minced onion."
"Simple and delicious!"
"i omitted the allspice and added italian herbs - SO GOOD!!"
"Like this a lot and used V8 spicy tomatoe juice! It is so easy & delicious!!!"

Michael & I Talk Spring Training, Bobby Parnell & MoreFebruary 19, 2011
In this video I catch up with Michael G. Baron of Metsblog and Michael G. Baron who is currently down in PSL at Mets spring training. Watch as we discuss what he's seeing in PSL, Bobby Parnell and more!

Great piece, fan-friendly PSL, I enjoy Baron's photos as well, I noticed towards the end of Baron's interview he was impressed by the professionalism of Collins' camp this go-round, it seems like every body will be judged with a clean slate, good or bad, Castillo for instance, won't be handed the keys at 2B, Beltran will not be automatically given the CF spot. Good job, Kerel!
Thanks for the comments, AC. Yeah it's early but there does seem to be a bit more professionalism and consistency (hearing the same message from everyone).

Unfortunately, many have forgotten the cries of invade Iraq that were sounded by the right wing media and members of the Bush administration. Those, like Cheney and Bush, who had never witnessed the horrors of war, were gung ho to invade, kill, destroy and proclaim the glory of democracy. Fast forward six years and we discover Iraq doctors encountering new problems with maternity issues. They are dealing with up to 15 times as many chronic deformities in infants and a spike in early cancers that may be linked to toxic material from battles in their nation. Specialists working in Falluja are currently compiling statistics that show conclusively there has been a significant rise in childhood deformities and cancer rates for older people. Dr. Ayman Qais of Falluja's general hospital noted: "We are seeing a very significant increase in central nervous system anomalies" His staff reports "many deficiencies in lower limbs."
There are no surprises in these statistics. Bush and Cheney and Fox News wanted war, they wanted bloodshed and since none of them had ever been in a battle, what did they know about the side effects of war and desolation? I doubt if any members of the Republican Party spent a moment considering how invading Iraq might impact the children of that nation. Now, these same brave men and women are ready for more blood in Afghanistan. How about placing them on the front lines?

Just a suburban boy
Page Tools
Illustration: John Spooner
I've long held a bit of an affinity for Mark Latham. We're the same age, two sons, lost Dad young, same glasses, worship Gough - and have mothers we're both proud to have on the podium with us (though mine would dress better).
It goes without saying Latham's achievements are way out in front of mine, but as the 2004 campaign unfolded I began to feel a special sense of what was going wrong for my fellow Sydney-born suburbanite.
The Sydney emphasis was the first thing that came to mind.
Latham and I are both from Sydney but the idea that in his shoes I would make this a part of my "personal story" is unthinkable. He would say that since I lived near Manly, I was one of the silvertails that his fellow Westies learned to hate. In fact my family lived in a small single storey house, the four kids on bunks in two rooms.
When Dad died I was 15 and the eldest. My mother performed herculean feats to keep her grief stricken brood in school and with a roof over our heads.
Around that time the concept of a tribalised Sydney began to sprout small, but significant, shoots. Rugby league games were promoted as "silvertails v fibros". Where we lived, we were the "silvertails". A radio station aimed at the Sydney's western suburbs, 2WS, was launched at Seven Hills. I clearly remember the station promoting itself to advertisers along the lines of "our listeners' mortgages are lower, so they have more disposable income." Lotto was launched with the slogan "Even Snives is going Lotto". It was the first time I had any idea that the then rather tony St Ives would not want to win the lottery!
Latham overcame his adversity in heroic style. Of that there is no doubt. But his emphasis on this story began to jar as 2004 wore on.
Even his reading-to-children shtick began to resemble transference: "I've got young kids, this is important."
Is it possible he was weaving a personal story for a country that has little need for it?
Our prime ministers make little of their background. Bob Hawke was born in Bordertown, South Australia, grew up in WA, had his union career in Melbourne, lived in Canberra for eight years as prime minister and has ended up in Sydney. That surely is a story of upward mobility for all the Sydneyphiles, but does anyone care?
Gough Whitlam's Its Time TV campaign had an image of him in his air force uniform, but little effort to sell the man. It was policy, policy, policy - and time for a change.
In America, Bill Clinton could say "there'll always be a place called Hope". He wasn't the first. Harry Truman, born Independence, Missouri. Ronald Reagan, Tampico, Illinois. But in the American psyche the small town looms large. Australia, for good or ill, is a suburban nation. Apart from the horrifying conditions of many rural Aborigines (and by the way did we hear much about that from either party?), Australia is a pretty homogenous country. Green Valley cannot excite with its mythic qualities, no matter how heroic Latham's story.
He has a chance to weave a new story, but in his shoes, keeping in mind how every Labor leader since World War II got his best swing at his first election, I'd quit.

I'm from Mumbai/India btw - and the cost was equivalent to $500
I'm 45, have two teenage sons and have accumalated a lot of fat in my belly area though I'm slim otherwise. Would never have thought of cosmetic surgery had it not been for my husband ( a surgeon) who got fed up with my constant carping about my permenantly 4 month pregnant abdomen. He said I was fine as I was but if it was such an issue for me I should go in for VASER liposelection as it was relatively painless and hasslefree. The plastic surgeon who does this happened to be good friend of our and between him and my husband they convinced me I was the perfect candidate for VASER - I didnt need weight loss, just body contouring on one specific part. Plus, they said, no amoount of dieting or excercise would help reduce my belly fat.
I eat healthy - and I excercise a LOT - alternate days at the gym and tennis lessons. Plus walks up a nearby hill with my dogs every day. Yet its been impossible to reduce my stubborn waistline by even an inch!
The plastic surgeon was very calm, gentle and reassuring. I was admitted one hr prior to the procedure. After the shaving, the doctor marked put the fatty areas on my abdomen ( felt weird somehow) and then photographed it.
After a few words with the anaesthetist ( they give general anaesthesia here) I was taken to the OT. My husband was with me throughout which was comforting. I went under anaesthesia and woke up only when I was back in my room, wrapped in a tight corset style garment.
The pain was pretty intense (scale of 7 on 10) for about half an hour after which I guess the painkillers started acting and it was quite bearable (scale 2 ) I was drowsy but oriented...the worst part was constantl wanting to pee ( due to the IV fluids as well as the 2.5 litres of saline which had been pumped under my skin getting absorbed)
I hate bed pans - so as soon as I could - and despite the protests of the nurses, insisted on walking to the loo - which I had to do every hour or so that day.
The pain was bearable...more like a soreness. I dozed off and on but by around 4pm was well enough to sit up, eat something, read and watch TV. Went home at 7.
I had a drain inserted under the skin - to drain off the fluid and remaining fat and have to keep it for 2 days - which is slightly annoying.
Slept restlessly that night though there was almost no pain.
havent taken off the garment yet so have no idea what difference has been made, but my husband who saw me before it was put on said that my stomach was noticibly flatter but there was some loose skin which will hopefully be taken care off by wearing the garment meticulously for 6 weeks.
Its Day 2 today - I'm quite comfortable. No pain - unless I make sudden movements. The fluid is still draining into the container. I can clamp it and remove the container if I want to walk around. I made my own tea this morning, and breakfast for the kids but that tired e out and I'm lying in bed watching TV all morning.
Cant eat a lot as my appetite is still poor. A few bites every few hrs is all I can manage. my stomach bloats ( due to the compression garmenT) if I taken even one extra bite.
I have to get the drain removed tomorrow when they will also change the garment to a smaller size. I'll see the immediate results of the surgery then.
I read all the posts on this forum before I underwent this so I thought I should share my experience too esp as I seem to be the only one from India till now. Overall the experience was good...I just hope the results are as good :)
I'm surprised everyone here seems to have had local anaesthesia. GA is the norm here - though it comes with its risks its far more comfortable. Also no one else has written about an indwelling drain. Most talk about pads which get wet and have to be changed constantly. the drain is a little cumbersome, but saves staining of clothes and bedsheets and is only in for 2 days.
Will update on my status soon.

Looking for a real good bow
I'm new to the forum, but not new to archery. I basically took 25 years off. I shot targets on a regular basis back then, with a Jennings compound (long gone). I want to get back into it and I'm looking for a great used bow (targets and eventually hunting). I like what I hear about the Mathews bows, but was told by one source to shy away from the Z-max (stiff and unforgiving). I'm a lefty, so my used choices are limited (Ebay). Thanks in advance for your opinions. Roy

more than a dog wash
I highly recommend South Bark for the self serve dog wash. They also have great food and cool collars.
Great Place
Even though I am not a fan of bath time, this is the best place to go! The special shampoos make my skin and fur feel nice and soft and I smell super good. They also have yummy treats. Not to mention that Kate's dog classes (which are held in the nice outside patio area) are how I learned to be such a good girl.posted: April 14th, 2007
Great people and very very clean
I love my baths (yeah - right) at South Bark. Carlos and Lisa are my favorite people. Carlos helps me into the tub, and Lisa is always there to help mommy (if she needs it). The tubs are clean, the water just right, and the blueberry facial divine. Oh, I can use all of the towels (and brushes) I want. There is also a blow dryer outside if you are a hairy pup, and small little box dryers inside. If you are a kitty, you can also get a bath at South Bark. I also flirt with the boy dogs before and after my bath in the patio area. Love, Hope PS: My favorite shampoo is the Apple Oatmeal - mommy says I smell like a cookie.

Known as the queen of tropical fruits, the mango is probably the best loved tropical fruit worldwide. Buddha prized mangoes so much he was given a grove to meditate in. Indians consider it a sacred fruit.
Even the unripe (green) fruit is prized. Filipinos eat tart green mangoes sprinkled with salt or soy sauce. In Thailand, green mango slices are dipped in chile powder, sugar and salt as a snack. Grated green mango is used throughout Southeast Asia, India and Malaysia to add a tart flavor to dishes, especially in salads, relishes or as pickles.
Some describe mango as a cross between a peach and an apricot, with pineapple undertones, but mango really has its own flavor, which differs considerably among its many varieties and its stages of ripeness. Depending on who you listen to, there are between 40 and 500 species of mango. This evergreen tree, a member of the cashew family, is native to India and Malaysia, unlike the pineapple and other tropical fruits which migrated from South America to Asia. The Portuguese introduced the mango to Brazil centuries ago. Today, India produces most of the world's mangoes, but it is also grown throughout the Pacific Rim, in Mexico, Brazil, Hawaii, Florida, Israel and California.
Mango is a clingstone fruit, meaning the flesh clings to the seed and must be cut away. It's also quite juicy, so some dedicated mango-eaters recommend eating it in a bathtub.
To cut up a mango, slice off the cheeks on either side of the seed. With a small, sharp knife, score the inside of each cheek. Spoon out the scored pieces, or push the skin of the mango inwards to make the scored bits pop out, and bite them off directly. This is quite messy but effective; be sure to provide lots of napkins, or eat the fruit over a sink.

Ratchis (Rachis - Raditschs - Radics - Radiks, there are various spellings) was the Duke of Friuli (739-744) and King of the Lombards (744-749). His father was Duke Pemmo. His Roman wife was Tassia. He ruled in peace until he besieged, for reasons unknown, Perugia. Pope Zachary convinced him to lift the siege and he abdicated and entered, with his family, the abbey of Montecassino. After the death of Aistulf in 756, he tried once again to reign over the Lombards, but he was defeated by Desiderius and retired to a cloister.[1]

text: GENEVA and REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Genomic Health, Inc. (Nasdaq: GHDX) today announced that the 13 th St. Gallen International Breast Cancer Conference Expert Panel, for the second time, recognized the Oncotype DX ® breast cancer test for its ability to provide not only prognostic information, but also predictive information regarding the benefit from chemotherapy for patients with early-stage endocrine sensitive invasive breast cancer. Oncotype DX was the only multi-gene test accepted with a strong majority of panelists supporting it as both a prognostic and predictive tool, which led to "a recommendation that selection of patients who might forego chemotherapy could be based on the 21-gene Recurrence Score." The new guidelines have been recently published online in the Advance Access section of Annals of Oncology and will appear in a future print issue. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130425/SF01493LOGO) "We are pleased that this expert panel recognizes the unsurpassed clinical evidence of Oncotype DX as the only test validated to answer the important question of which estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer patients need chemotherapy in addition to hormonal therapy," said Steven Shak, M.D., chief medical officer and executive vice president of research and development, Genomic Health. "Physicians in more than 70 countries have used Oncotype DX for treatment planning in more than 375,000 patients to date, enabling patients to make more informed decisions and healthcare systems to avoid overtreatment." The updated guidelines, which are reviewed bi-annually, reflect increasing support for the use of multi-gene tests to provide physicians and patients with information that goes beyond traditional clinic-pathologic measures to enable better informed treatment decisions. The guidelines also reference that the use of the Oncotype DX breast cancer test is either cost-effective or provides cost savings in all markets analyzed.

This morning many of us got a holiday e-card from The Mets. That's nice.
It has several nice highlights from the 2012 season. There was that time Santana threw a no-hitter. That was nice.
There was that time David Wright (Happy Birthday) broke the team hits record. That was nice.
I feel like something else happened. I can't remember what it was.
Wasn't there something else that we were excited about? Does anyone recall?
Anyway, Opening Day tickets start at just $63. Come see Duda, Baxter, Cowbell and the rest of your 2013 Mets, where prices equal value.

Marley and Indie go for a paddle
A neighbour who has little kids told me about their family vacation to a cabin in the country. She was shocked when her hardy, active kids complained and complained. The bed was uncomfortable, the cabin smelled, it was cold, there was nothing to do … and on it went. As the complaints piled up, so did my friend's amazement. "Wow! My kids have become urban prima donnas!"
Her story got me thinking. Are my kids urban prima donnas? Sure we spend time tending our garden and hanging out at the park, but are they too attached to the ways of the city? Would they appreciate living in nature for a few days without the comforts of home? Well, for city dwellers, there's no better way to get immersed in nature than camping, which is exactly what we did.
Our first trip of the summer was car camping. As soon as we arrived, the kids just ran and ran and ran. They had to endure crazy mosquito bites, stay clear of poison ivy, listen to a screeching owl at night, and eat and sleep in ways they weren't used to. But they did it, and loved it (well, not so much the mosquito bites). Not bad for city kids.
The next weekend we kicked it up a notch, left the car behind, and went on our first family canoe trip with friends. We piled into a canoe with just enough gear, food (including an overabundance of marshmallows) and clothing for three days. Unfortunately, my oldest daughter, Marley, had a rocky start. She was miserable – the sun was in her eyes, the canoe was uncomfortable, my paddle was getting her wet, etc. In fact, she boldly stated, "This is the worst canoe trip, EVER!" I immediately thought of my friend and her prima donnas. But I bit my tongue and hoped her anxiety of the unknown would be short lived.
Within a few minutes of physically (and mentally) landing at our campsite, she wandered around, looked out at the water and to my surprise said, "It's so beautiful here." What?? Is this the same girl I was trapped in a canoe with 10 minutes earlier? Unbelievable!
Marley and Jude search for frogs in the marsh
The next three days were amazing. The weather was really cold so no swimming. But for hours they played a fairy game, which entailed looking in the holes of trees for fairy treasures. They played Tic Tac Toe in the sand with sticks and pinecones, searched for frogs in a marsh and tended to an injured dragonfly.
Without a doubt, eating marshmallows by the fire was the highlight for my kids. Not exactly the nature connection I'm after, but from what I could see, the urban prima donnas have bypassed us for now. Let's hope I can say the same when they're teenagers!

Chargers 27, Broncos 20: Ryan Mathews rushed for 127 yards and a touchdown and Thomas Keiser came up with a key fourth-quarter interception as San Diego bolstered its playoff chances by handing Denver its first home loss of the season.
Philip Rivers and Keenan Allen hooked up for a pair of touchdowns for the Chargers (7-7), who moved one-half game behind Miami and Baltimore in the race for the final AFC playoff spot. San Diego's defense was tremendous, holding the Broncos to season lows in total yards (295) and points.
Peyton Manning finished 27-of-41 for 289 yards with two touchdowns and an interception for the Broncos (11-3), whose AFC West lead over Kansas City is down to one-half game - though they own the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Chiefs. Andre Caldwell caught six passes for 59 yards and two touchdowns for Denver, which managed only 18 rushing yards on 11 attempts.
Denver's offensive juggernaut started out hot, as usual, as Manning and Caldwell hooked up for a 15-yard TD on the opening series and Matt Prater booted a 32-yard field goal on the Broncos' next possession for a 10-3 lead. The Chargers' defense stiffened and forced four straight punts while their ground game shredded Denver's defense, and Allen made impressive plays on touchdown grabs of 19 and 10 yards for a 17-10 halftime lead.
Mathews bounced outside and sprinted up the left sideline for a 23-yard score on the opening series of the second half to make it 24-10, but the Chargers couldn't sustain another drive to put it away. Manning led the Broncos on a 12-play, 89-yard drive - capping it by hitting Caldwell for a 5-yard TD to cut into the lead - and Denver had the ball back with a chance to tie, but Corey Liuget hit Manning on his follow-through of a first-down pass and the ball fluttered to Keiser, setting up Nick Novak's 35-yard field goal to make it a two-score cushion with 2:36 left.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Denver was without WR Wes Welker (concussion). … Manning's fourth-quarter interception was his first in 121 pass attempts. … Mathews topped 100 yards rushing for the second straight game and fifth time this season.

i used spray glue contact cement from home depot on felt insulATION WITH LOOKS LIKE A FOIL OUTER LAYER to glue insulation to bare roof metal on inside of car worked good till car was in sun for a few hours and started falling out .what do i need to use or /do
I am noy sure what type of insulation that you used but when I did the roof of my F1 I used 3M General Spray adhesive. It worked fine and has lasted for years.
I used universal panel adhesive (from a caulking gun) and mine is NEVER coimg out! Get the best stuff they sell and lay down a heavy bead. The spray adhesives and contact cement are too thin to permanently bond this stuff.
I'm with Willys. I use lquid Nails on this sheet. Be very sure where you want it. I lay a bead with the caulking gun, and then take a squee gee to spread it around a bit. I even took one and made like a flooring trowel with "teeth" or grooves cut in it. Oh yea, you might want to wear a long sleeve shirt that is trashed, just in case <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
ok guys thanx a lot was leaning towards that stuff next but wanted to make shure it would work first

Over the past decade, individual members of Phatfish have written many outstanding worship songs, some of which have appeared on previous Phatfish albums, and some of which have been sung at events such as Spring Harvest and Stoneleigh Bible week from where they have filtered through to local churches. This new album gathers together many of these songs which are presented with fresh new arrangements. Don't expect the standard 'worship album' sound; these are contemporary studio settings for songs which focus on the greatness of the God we praise. Many titles will be immediately familiar; Nathan Fellingham's Holy Holy and There Is A Day are sung in churches around the world as is O God of Love and many of the other titles found here. There are also some brand new songs, all of which are appropriate for congregational use, and are delivered with the usual passion and musicianship that fans have come to expect from Phatfish.
Faithful - the Worship songs by Phatfish was published by Authentic in December 2004 and is our 13172nd best seller. The ISBN for Faithful - the Worship songs is 1903062.

" Ever needed to just get away, but you can't go for too long? Please tell us about your short breaks away (e.g. day trips, road trips or weekend breaks), whether it be for ultimate relaxation, or to be active and practice hobbies you may have (fishing, "
Driving home from a short break in the English Lake District, which is only about a two hour journey for us, we decided to turn off the motorway and take a more scenic route home.
We left the motorway at Gretna Green and drove along the coast of the Solway Firth to the village of NEW ABBEY.
It doesn't take a modern-day Sherlock Holmes to deduce that there's a fair-to-middling chance that a village called new Abbey might possibly have some connection to the monastic way of life. And indeed it does.
In 1273, a Cistercian abbey was founded here by Lady Devorgilla in memory of her late husband, John Balliol.
Lady Devorgilla's claim to fame is that she kept her husband's embalmed heart in a casket and carried it with her until her own death in 1289. When she died, she was buried, together with his heart, near the altar of what was then known as New Abbey.
The Cistercian monks chose the name 'Dulce Cor' or SWEETHEART, in her honour.
Lady Devorgilla was a bit of a philanthropist. Among other acts, she also endowed Balliol College in Oxford in 1282. I suppose she could afford to as her son was the John Balliol who became King of Scotland (with a little help from King Edward I - who, as he giveth, so he taketh away. When Balliol didn't meekly submit to his whims, Eddie-boy stripped him of his regalia.)
Edward I, the (The Hammer of the Scots) stayed at the abbey in 1300 but unlike most of the other abbeys and buildings in the Borders, it was left relatively unscathed by English invasions.
The religious and political upheaval of the Reformation saw the death-knell of the abbey as a place of wor
ship - the last monks were forced out in 1608. Under the strict Calvinistic presbyterianism of the time, the Lords of the Congregation ordered the building and its 'Papish Idolotry' to be destroyed but the local land-owner, Lord Maxwell, refused. Unfortunately, the cloister was later
used as a quarry while the church, rather carelessly, lost its roof.
Some local gentlemen acquired the abbey in 1779 and prevented further damage before the building came under state ownership in 1928.
Despite all that the ravages of time could throw at it, a fairly substantial part of the abbey still stands, including the nave, choir, bell tower and the great east window (minus the glass!). It also has the most complete precinct walls of any Scottish medieval monastery.
The site of Sweetheart Abbey could not have been more perfect for the Cistercians - solitude and seclusion reigned supreme. It lies on rich and fertile land in the shadow of Criffel, an imposing granite mountain, and alongside New Abbey Pow (a stream) close to where the river Nith flows into the Solway. Lots of fast-running burns provided drinking water, water for fishponds, and power for mills.
Although it's a peaceful and secluded spot, it's very easy to find and is well signposted - just follow the A710 from Dumfries for 5 miles south to New Abbey, then through the village to Sweetheart.
The first thing that strikes you is the red sandstone that the abbey is constructed from. It's an almost coral-pink colour and looks magnificent when caught in the sunlight, especially at sunset. It's actually quite a common building material in the South-West of Scotland (indeed, most of Glasgow's Victorian tenements are constructed of it) but it's quite unusual for such an a
t building, and especially one in such good condition as this stone is pretty soft and erodes fairly quickly.
Ironically, most of the domestic buildings which have long since vanished were constructed of granite.
The outline of the Cloister is well defined, but is no longer enclosed - the buildings which housed the brother's accommodation to the west, and the kitchens to the south having long since gone. It's still possible t
o sense what it was like to some degree though.
To the north are the ruins of various buildings, such as:
* The Warming Room - the only room which had a fire for purposes other than cooking. The monks were allowed to gather for a short time each day.
* The Parlour - the only room where the monks were allowed to speak informally with each other.
* The Chapter house - where the brothers gathered to confess their sins and discuss business.
* The library - self explanatory.
From here you enter into the main building through the SOUTH TRANSEPT which is where you'll find the restored tomb of Devorgilla. There's also an effigy of the Lady holding her husband's embalmed heart. Sadly, it's quite badly damaged.
THE CHOIR is the holiest part of the church and contained the High Altar -it's possibly the best preserved area. The bar tracery on the east wall here is quite spectacular. It must have been impressive when the building was still intact and resplendent with stained glass - it's impressive enough yet. A modern stone marks the position where Devorgilla was interred.
The NORTH TRANSEPT held several chapels and a spiral staircase led to the bell tower.
THE NAVE was
for the u
se of the brothers attending services and was divided from the Choir, and the monks, by a screen.
The whole abbey complex was enclosed in a walled precinct amounting to some 30 acres. The southern boundary being a deep, water-filled ditch, with the remaining three sides being built with granite boulders which were probably cleared from the site prior to the abbey's construction. these walls were 9ft high and much of them still remain.
* Opening hours *
April to September:
9.30am-6.30pm Mon-Sat, 2pm-6.30pm Sun
October to March:
9.30am-4.30pm Mon-Wed and Sat
9.30am-1pm Thurs, 2pm-4.30pm Sun.
* Admission *
Adult £1.20, Child 50p, Conces
sions 90p.
Parking is free and there are toilet facilities in the car park. It's suitable for disabled visitors, although there are a couple of areas where there are steps.
We were there at the end of March and practically had the place to ourselves, with only a group of half-a-dozen Italian tourists for company. There were people arriving as we were leaving, and as the car park was fairly large, I expect it gets quite busy in the summer.
It's worth spending a little time in the village of New Abbey itself. It's a delightful, picturesque little place with a few shops and eating possibilities. There are two pubs - the Criffel Inn and the Abbey Arms, and there's a restaurant next to the Abbey car park which also serves light snacks.
THE NEW ABBEY CORN MILL, at the opposite end of the village, is an attraction in itself. Although the present mill only dates from the 1700's, it's built on the site of an earlier mill which was used by the abbey.
3;t's open
for demonstrations throughout the summer and, as it's also owned by Historic Scotland, a joint ticket can be purchased.

Re: Assume and $Assumptions and Results
Unless x already has a specific numeric value, the correct result of
Simplify[x > 1, x > 0]
x > 1
This result is the same as that of:
Simplify[x > 1 && x > 0]
It would be redundant to include Element[x,Reals], since x > 0 already

31 Y/o Hoping to Break the Family "Turkey Neck" Cycle - Duluth, GA
Almost everyone in my family has a turkey neck or...
How the healing went
It was super easy!! I thought it would be bad, but I just felt pain for about 5 days. I'm no longer wearing the chin strap and I feel perfectly comfortable. My skin retracted really nicely. I just have a little swelling but it's only noticeable to me. I'm really happy I went through with the procedure with THE best doctor in the ATL area...Dr. Davoudi! The man is a miracle worker!!
This is 2nd time I've used Dr. Davoudi, and he was perfect as always. He has this way of making you feel comfortable at all times. He checks on you several times throughout the procedure. I do have a concern, mostly about the staff. The Patient Coordinator is fantastic. She's friendly, bubbly and wonderful- just beautiful inside and out. The nurse, Toni, is the person I've had the most trouble with. The 1st time I dealt with her was after my BBL and I was having lot trouble with putting on my garment. I was concerned b/c I had already fell twice, once out of a glass shower door. I had bruises all over my body. I tried to her multiple times and never received a return call call until LaToya urged her to call me. This time the pain meds aren't working for me and I am having and serious allergic reaction, but she once again is not listening. I don't know what to do. I think I need a new pain med with less side effects and stronger pain management.

skirtboard width for steps
I have existing steps that were carpet before with not skirt board on them... I am trying to make them look nice with skirt boards, hardwood treads and all that nice stuff...
I just don't know what width the skirt board should be... I've seen from 10" to 12" but not sure what fits
right now our treads are minimum code at 9" deep (with no overhang)... with the new replacement risers it will add an additional 1 1/4" to the depth so we'd have at least a 10 1/4" tread
the rise is about 7 1/2" I think? haven't measured for a while...
any tips for making these? any guides out there or ideas on where to start with the width being the first step for me to figure out...
If you do not have a router, easier to contact a local mill shop and have them make up te skirts.
I have a router and about every bit I could possibly need, table saw, miter saw, jig saw. think that takes the list of tools I could need for this
Time and the wood you would like to use is the only thing left. Suggest using cheap Pine 1x8 or 1x12 for test patterns.
There is a app for the iPad that you plug in the numbers and it will create a CAD drawing for you. There is also online sites for computers you cand do it with.
Check with Shumakerscott's thread on his German House rebuild. I cannot remember off hand regarding his stair build how he did a skirt or if he did.
I know that he is in Italy right now, so if you send him a message, give him time to respond.
I think Greg is thinking of an enclosed stair stringer/skirt, I could be wrong though. If you are just adding a skirt board to what is there now and installing the treads after the skirt you might want to add cleats to the side of the stringers as the treads won't have much for the treads to sit on especially if they didn't have a spacer between the wall and stringer, or if they sheet rocked after the stringers were installed.
Check out this link of how this fellow cut his skirt board.
older homes its common to see 1x10 skirtboards. with newer homes most stair guys are using 1x12 because of how often taller baseboard trim is being installed. it makes for a cleaner look by having the skirtboard end on the floor higher off the floor than the baseboard is. it creates a reveal
yeah this is a retrofit
Make sure adding new treads will not mess up your rise at the top and bottom steps. That link from Jim is quite useful. I've never had to do skirts after the fact but if I did that's the way to go.

Our reflection today focuses on the third station of the cross, when Jesus fell the first time under the weight of His heavy cross. It's easy to get discouraged at times when life is difficult and especially if we are struggling with remaining committed to our Lenten sacrifice. But Jesus shows us what it means to persevere as He gets back on His feet, not just once but three times, and He did it all out of love for you and I.
In meditating on this part of Jesus' passion and suffering, here are a few points of reflection to consider:
1. What motivates you to continue carrying your crosses?
2. Do you allow your crosses to become a catalyst for change in your life?
I hope you find this reflection helpful for your Lenten journey. Please feel free to send me your comments and questions at firstname.lastname@example.com.

LeAnn Rimes Talks Brandi Glanville on "Jimmy Kimmel Live"
She stole Brandi Glanville's husband Eddie Cibrian a few years back, and LeAnn Rimes is sick of hearing about her hubby's ex-wife these days.
During her interview on " Jimmy Kimmel Live," the "How Do I Live" songstress declared that she is ready to tell Ms. Glanville, "Screw you!"
Rimes ranted, "I do know what's going on because I have to deal with my publicist every Monday [after Brandi's 'Real Housewives' show airs]."
"It's kind of interesting how it seems very one-sided most of the time, with people lying about you and you're like… [curse] words here! I usually don't engage [in the feud], but there comes a time when you're just like, 'Screw you!'"
"That's it, and that's all you wanna say and you're like, 'I'm done with this now for another three months.'"

Daimler Launches a Revolution
MAGDEBURG, Germany -- Daimler Trucks has a radical vision of the near future based on a truck that drives itself. It's not driverless, rather the driver can give almost complete control to the truck on the highway. And then turn his seat 45 degrees to the right while using his tablet to check the dinner menu at the next truckstop. Or organize his next load. Or perhaps talk to another driver via Skype. You name it, he can do it.
What he can't do is leave his seat.
The self-driving Mercedes-Benz Future Truck 2025 was introduced during an elaborate presentation and mini-conference in this former East German city, followed by a lengthy demonstration on a yet-to-be-opened stretch of the newly built A14 autobahn nearby. The much modified Actros cabover with trailer attached was driven at speeds up to 85 km/h in more or less realistic, if staged, traffic. And all on its own it made one subtle maneuver that was particularly impressive -- approaching an emergency vehicle parked on the shoulder, the truck edged itself nearly into the next lane to safely clear the stationary Unimog and, once past, eased itself back into the absolute center of the driving lane. The driver did nothing.
This is what's called autonomous driving, something of a buzzword in car circles these days, and now part of the trucking world.
"Autonomous driving will revolutionize road freight transport and create major benefits for everyone involved," said Dr. Wolfgang Bernhard, Daimler trucks and buses chief, beaming with apparent pride and enthusiasm as he introduced 325 journalists, analysts, and government officials to the 'Highway Pilot' assistance system. He hopes to make this a production vehicle -- and have at least European society accept the autonomous idea -- by 2025. North Americans might represent a tougher sell, though much remains to be seen.
It's revolutionary in terms of the truck itself but also on other fronts. It depends, for example, on vehicle-to-vehicle communication. At which point we have to talk about what's become another buzzword -- or buzzphrase? -- namely, the 'Internet of Things'. In a nutshell that refers to connectivity at the next level where 'things' communicate with other 'things', instead of people communicating with other people. The convergence of those two is what's going on here. It's not really just about a very, very high-tech truck.
It's actually a vision of what's possible with transport systems at large, and with the full support of the German government and likely the European Parliament, Bernhard pledged to help make it happen. The event in Magdeburg, he said, was really aimed at starting a very broad discussion that will take us into uncharted territory.
"We think this is possible," he said, "and we will prove it for trucks."
So how does it work? At this point the Future Truck 2025 is a mix of existing and new technologies, some of them drawn from the car world, some from trucks. Cameras and radar sensors and such, like the familiar driver-assistance technology we already know, the active cruise control, automatic braking, stability control, and lane-keeping systems. A new one known as 'Predictive Powertrain Control' uses satellite-sourced information about road topography and route characteristics to adjust the operation of the drivetrain in order to maximize fuel economy. Other such assistance systems will follow in the coming years, says Daimler.
Crucially, these 'smart' trucks will communicate with one another and with cars sharing the road, trading information about speed and position, and thus be able to 'mingle' on the road safely with little driver intervention, at least on highways and major roads. Daimler compares Highway Pilot to the autopilot system in an airplane.
Trucks will also 'talk' to the road and associated infrastructure like traffic lights, assessing all inputs and reacting accordingly.
The Daimler vision sees "optimally executed acceleration and braking phases" that will help to ensure a smooth flow of traffic and reduce fuel consumption and emissions in the process. Autonomous driving will also mean more precise transport scheduling, the company says.
And trucks that talk to each other can travel more closely together and therefore take up less road space. There would be fewer traffic jams and the associated costs of congestion would be reduced. This amounts to the 'platooning' we've heard about in recent years, where trucks would travel in very close proximity to one another, the lead truck effectively driving the others.
Finally, autonomous trucks would mean fewer accidents caused by human error, which would in turn reduce insurance rates, Daimler suggests. Drivers would be less fatigued and less prone to lapses in concentration.
In practice, Daimler says the driver launches the truck and the autonomous driving starts with the Highway Pilot system announcing on a dash display that it's ready to take over, having 'seen' the lane markings and 'consulted' the installed maps.
The driver switches the system on, then takes his hands off the wheel, and the tractor-trailer combination continues to travel at exactly the set speed, in the centre of the right-hand lane. Using the truck's intelligent sensors and computing power, the steering carries out slight corrections by itself.
As Daimler describes it, "The driver wants to relax in comfort, so he presses a button on the seat armrest: the driver's seat immediately moves backwards, and pivots to the right by 45 degrees for a comfortable seating position. The driver is able to stretch his legs in comfort, as if sitting in an armchair at home. He is able to reach the steering wheel, but the brake pedal only by an artistic foot contortion."
The Highway Pilot is a combination of radar sensors at the front and sides, a stereo camera behind the windshield, precise three-dimensional maps, and V2V/V2I communication (Vehicle to Vehicle and Vehicle to Infrastructure).
Drivers won't see a conventional instrument cluster, rather a high-resolution, graphic color display on a removeable tablet computer in the center console. This is the truck's central control and communication instrument. And it will allow the driver to do everything from ordering his next truckstop meal to setting the temperature in the reefer trailer he's aiming to hook up to 100 km down the road.
That's just a small part of the larger vision Daimler presented here in Germany, and it's a story far too large to tell here. Look for more detail in The Lockwood Report e-newsletter on July 16.
In the meantime, another tidbit: the first autonomous driving experiment goes way back to the 1950s, long before the advent of computers and miniaturized video cameras. In that one, cars were guided down a roadway by way of a magnetic track. By all accounts it didn't work very well.
The Mercedes-Benz Future Truck 2025 project would seem to have more promise.

Anyone else checking Wal-Mart all the time to see when they finally get an ammo shipment in?

Anyone else checking Wal-Mart all the time to see when they finally get an ammo shipment in?
I got 400 rounds of 45 this past Sat - I've been waiting for weeks to get some
Mine got some bulk packs of 5.56 on Saturday. Not that I keep checkingOriginally Posted by ShipWreck
Hey Ship:
Every time anyone on this forum goes to Wally World to get ammo, they are tacitly approving of Wally World video taping their firearm/ammunition transactions and with Wally World providing the sales information to the anti-gun crowd.
Remember this: http://fnforum.net/viewtopic.php?t=8...light=wallmart
F uck Wally World and their agreement with the Soros and Brady crowd. (Sorry, but Frack just is not the word I needed to use).
Do us all a favor and spend a couple more bucks and buy your ammo at a gun friendly outlet that refuses to cave into the anti-gun crowd.
Got to call you on this one dude!
Really? 5.56 at walmart?Originally Posted by imschur
I've seen .223 but not 5.56
HK SD9 Tactical,
I don't like Wal-Mart any more than the rest of us, but when they are the only place within 100 miles that even HAS ammo, I think I'll choke down the phlem and get the ammo. I usually go out of my way to get everything outside of Wal-mart, but there just isn't any ammo at any of the normal places I go. Is it better to not have the ammo? Wear a hat and pay cash if you're that worried.
Pst, look over there while I poke you in the eye!
WIth ammo prices up - Wal-Mart is the only place I can afford to buy ammo and keep shootinga s often as I do. So, I plan to keep buying it for now.
I've been to Walmart exactly 1 time. The only reason I went there was because I had a gift card, so I picked up a charging kit for my 360 controllers. The Walmart near my house also had someone trampled to death a couple years ago on black friday and is generally a dump of a store. I typically buy my ammo in bulk online for the same price or cheaper than I can get it anyplace around here (that's with shipping charges). Ammo seems to be more expensive in my area then what I've heard from other people about their areas. A box of 100 WWB is a little over $24 at the cheapest place I can find. Then add tax and I'm up over $25. It's probably more now since the last time I checked was about 5 months ago

In Winchester which is the closest Wal-mart they have two the Mexican Wal-mart and the redneck Wal-mart I stick to the redneck Wal-mart and it's a pretty nice store but lately neither has any ammo I need they say it just flies off the shelf.

Zalgo is an Internet meme that started in 2004. It is about an entity known as Zalgo, which corrupts web comics so that they are dark, warped, twisted versions of themselves.
Zalgo is able to infect and corrupt web comics/cartoons/pictures. Zalgo is able to cause insanity in people using some unknown method.
Zalgo is said to have no shape nor eyes. In order to see, he must possess someone else. Zalgo wears armor "carved from the suffering of mothers". In Zalgo's right hand, he holds a dead star, and in his left hand, he holds a candle who's light is shadow. Zalgo has seven mouths, six that speak in deaf different tongues, and a seventh to sing the song. The song to end the Earth. I will sing the song, and it will go like this, serenade the end, with the beat that you all know, the heartbeat of the Earth, the song of the soul, Hold on closely to your heart, For it's the song's rythm. Everyone is the drum. Everyone is the song. He who waits behind the wall, in a palace of tortured glass, served by legions, forged from the tears of the sleepless dead. And clad in armor, carved from the suffering of mothers. In his right hand, he holds a dead star.'
His other name is The Nezperdian Hivemind.

Ichiro Suzuki won his 10th straight Gold Glove and Derek Jeter, at 36 years old, won his fifth, yet a bit controversial.
For Suzuki, the Mariners right fielder, only Hall of Famers Roberto Clemente and Willie Mays have won more (12 each) Gold Gloves in the outfield. His 10th ties him with Ken Griffey Jr., Andruw Jones and Al Kaline.
For free agent Jeter, he is the oldest American League shortstop to win the Gold Glove since Luis Aparicio was the same age in 1970
However, Jeter's selection is likely to open the debate over the awards relevance. Shortstops such as Alexei Ramirez of the White Sox or Cliff Pennington of the Athletics flashed the leather better than Jeter, statistically speaking. Jeter ranked in the bottom third of the AL based on UZR (Ultimate Zone Rating) and was last in Rtot (Total Zone Total Fielding Runs above average).
Among the first-time winners were Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano, Rays left fielder Carl Crawford and Mariners center fielder Franklin Gutierrez.
The complete list of AL winners, as voted by the managers and coaches:
The National League winners will be announced Wednesday.

I have a 2012 WRX hatch. It currently has 1600 miles on it. I'll start by saying it's been awhile since I've driven a manual but I know how and through these 1600 miles I've gotten right back into manual without too much trouble. Well I was off the other day so I was running around town getting the "Honey-do-list" completed when I came out of a store and started to take off and the clutch pedal just felt different. Instead of being nice and smooth when in/out it almost felt like the spring changed or moved? It almost feels like a creaking door ya know? How it kind of stutters when I press/release the pedal. I'm going to stop by the stealership today and have them take a look while I'm out.
Ideas? Thanks in advance!
