If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."

Welcome from South Carolina...
Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.

rafter birdsmouth and wall sheathing ???
63 Attachment(s)
Do you cut a rafter birds-mouth so that it sits on top plate including the wall sheathing (4" for a 2x4 wall with 1/2" CDX) or make the cut to the top plate and butt the sheathing up to the bottom of the birds-mouth?
So sheath the wall first and then cut the rafters or cut the rafters first?
My house has the construction where the builders sheathed first and then cut the birds-mouth.
I usually sheath 1st, then do the rafters
Sheathing ties everything together so it won't move
On my cabana addition I did the bottom 3' with cement board then the rafters, then the rest of the sheathing
The old siding on the existing cabana rotted out at the bottom
So I used cement board on the bottom 3' to prevent rot
So long as you tie the bottom top plate with the wall sheathing, for shear. If the rafter tails are left full thickness, as in a closed soffit, they may be in the way of that. Otherwise, you could add blocking across the top for shear-flow, a lot of extra work. Remember the nailing room required for the top of wall nailing if you sheath the roof overhangs first. Be safe, G
When I built my house I applied OSB sheeting to the frames before raising the wall.
So I had to allow for both the rim thickness plus the OSB thickness.

Which way of asking for action carries the highest level of politeness?
A. A polite order
B. An indirect request
C. A question
D. An order
I'm a bit confused as to what this question is asking for. However, I believe the answer may be B since asking for an indirect request is where you are being your most polite as to not offend the person to not do your request. But as I said, I'm not too sure about that. Any help is much appreciated.
A is most likely to get the job done, but if you're afraid of hurting someone's feelings (in which case, you have to wonder why these people are in business!), then B or C could be the intended answers.
I use C all the time with my grandkids, and the jobs get done -- mostly because they know it's really not a question!!
"Would you please take out the kitchen trash?"
It would probably vary with the culture. Although it might be polite, and indirect request might not be clear, so it is more likely to be ineffective.
I like Writeacher's choice. The question seems to allow the recipient an illusion of control, which might be perceived to the the most polite.
However, I am not in favor of merely being polite, because many times people reinforce undesired behavior in the name of "politeness." As an example, if someone tells a sexist or racist joke, listeners laugh to be "polite." However, the laughter is taken as approval and reinforces the telling of the that joke. (I know the jokes I continue to tell are the ones that get the most laughs.) In this case, it is better to not respond to the joke at all.
I hope this helps a little more.
Culture, yes, and to whom are you speaking? I found with subordinate managers, who were supposed to be executing efficient orders themselves, I could politely supervise by..
I wonder if we could better get results by....? or Have you considered...? What would be the negative impacts of that..?
If those probing questions failed to elicit the desired response, I would then resort to indirect
It seems to me that we could get better results by.... , or I personally am skekptical of the overall results of that to be...
In the end, If I had to give an order, I would do it
Please attempt this first...
If that failed,
This is the way I want it done.
On remark on your question, I am certain it came from your teacher, but I think it missed the point: Politeness is not what we strive for first in business communications with subordinates, it is civility. Civility carries with it respect for others, and one can certainly work that into a business structure "giving orders".
Um... sorry guys but you just confused me more as to what may be the answer. I mean I understand what you guys are saying but... it doesn't really help me. I don't know. I still think the answer may be B but I still have my doubts.
It is definitely not B. I'd go with C.
Oh. Okay then. I think that I should take your advice then and go with C. Thank you for helping me!

Green Day - Page 3
Green Day's Mike Dirnt Addresses State of Band One Year After Billy Joe Armstrong's Meltdown
Nearly one year ago, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong went on his now-famous rant at the 2012 iHeartRadio Music Festival. Two days after the rant, Armstrong revealed that he would enter rehab for substance abuse. Now that Green Day have returned to the stage and played a solid chunk of gigs, bassist Mike Dirnt has offered some inside info on the state of the band a year later in an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald.
Green Day Return to Stage for First Time Since Billie Joe Armstrong's Rehab Stint
Back in September, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong had an onstage meltdown during Green Day's set at the iHeartRadio concert in Las Vegas. Soon after, he entered rehab to battle alcohol and prescription drug addiction, forcing the band to cancel their remaining 2012 dates and to postpone their winter 2013 gigs.
Billie Joe Armstrong Talks Substance Abuse, Vegas Meltdown With Rolling Stone
Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong went to rehab smack dab in the middle of the band's release schedule for its trio of albums '¡Uno!,' '¡Dos!' and '¡Tré!' You know it must have been bad for him to have pulled out of promoting and supporting the trilogy. Turns it was bad. Really bad.
Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong Appears in Deleted 'This Is 40' Movie Scene
Although the spot was cut from the final version of the film during the editing process, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong played a cameo role as himself in the latest Judd Apatow film, 'This is 40.' While the clip doesn't appear on the big screen, fans can now check out the lost footage online, seen below.
Green Day Announce '¡Quatro!' Documentary
What comes after '¡Uno!,' '¡Dos!' and '¡Tre!?' '¡Quatro!,' of course, although Green Day won't be following their new trilogy of albums with a fourth record. '¡Quatro!' announced today, will not be another album, but rather a documentary offering a behind-the-scenes look into the making-of '¡Uno!,' '¡Dos!' and '¡Tre!'
Green Day To Offer Advance Look at New Documentary '¡Quatro!'
Green Day Honor Deceased Teenage Fan
Between promoting their new albums and dealing with Billie Joe Armstrong's stint in rehab, the members of Green Day have plenty of things going on these days -- but they still managed to take a few moments yesterday (Nov. 20) to commemorate the untimely death of a teenage fan.
Green Day Display 'Stray Heart' in Latest Video
Green Day being down a rehabbing member hasn't kept them from releasing new music and even creating music videos. Rather than the band starring in the clip for their latest single, 'Stray Heart,' they've served up a concept video in which the stars are a guy with a gaping hole and his extremely mobile heart.
Green Day Reveal 'Twilight: Breaking Dawn'-Themed Video for 'The Forgotten'
While Green Day dropped the unfortunate bomb earlier this week that they have to cancel all upcoming tour dates in 2012 and postpone most of their upcoming tour dates in January and February to allow their lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong to focus on his recovery from substance abuse, the band also offered up some good news, in the form of a new video for the song 'The Forgotten.'
Metallica Jam Green Day's 'American Idiot' Live at 2012 Voodoo Music + Arts Experience
Over the weekend, Metallica headlined the 2012 Voodoo Music + Arts Experience in New Orleans after original headliners Green Day were forced to back out. Due to Billie Joe Armstrong's recent trip to rehab, Metallica stepped in on short notice, but took a moment to pay tribute to their friends in Green Day by performing a part of 'American Idiot' onstage (as seen in the video below).
Green Day Cancel Club Tour, Postpone 2013 Dates, Push Up '¡Tré!' Album Release
Green Day's first priority is the health and well-being of singer/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, who is seeking treatment in rehab. As a result, everything else, such as tour dates, is taking a backseat, and rightfully so. There's a lot of activity related to some inactivity for the band right now.

Westerbeke W58 Perkins 4-154
Does anyone know if the Westerbeke W58 is a Perkins 4-154 painted red? I don't know the year of this engine but I am trying to locate a new or used valve cover for this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The way I found out my Westerbeke W-52 was a Perkins 4-135 and was also a Mazda R2 block as found in thousands of Mazda B2200 and Ford Ranger pickups was by getting diagrams of the Mazda block and photos of all three from the internet.
See here: http://www.sailnet.com/forums/259474-post32.html
Go to a Westerbeke owners' forum and use Google. This took me some time, but knowing I can repower by rebuilding an extremely common pickup diesel changed my entire perspective about owning a "vintage" engine.
You can also pay to join Boatdiesel.com. The truth is out there, apparently:
Thanks Valiente!
Very helpful. The valve cover has pin holes all over and is tweaked. Well beyond brazing. I am still to green here to post with pics. Would be nice to show everyone.
If it has a relation to perkins, call Trans Atlantic Diesel; Perkins Powerpart
Big on Perkins parts and they know perkins.
Although they aren't as expensive as Volvo, home of the twelve-dollar washer.
While I don't know for sure, as I don't have a W58 and haven't compared any part numbers, but my previous research has led me to believe that the block was made from a Mazda XA diesel, 2.5 litre. It was used in the Mazda T2500 truck. It was also a common engine used by Yale in their forklifts. You could try them for parts you need and let us know.
Thank you for all your help!
I have on very good information that the Westerbeke W58 is in fact a Perkins 4-154. This was confirmed by a expert in England.:)
There you go. Now, all you need to find out is if it ever was also a Japanese tractor engine or fit into some small pickup and you won't have to pay "marine spare parts" prices.
Perkins 4.154 manual, handbook & parts manuals can be found here:
Endeavour Manuals
There are 2 versions of the Perkins 4.154. First one was US made and the more common one was Mazda. Look to see what fuel pump is on the engine. If it is a Diesel Kiki, it's a Mazda. Same as the one used in Mazda pick ups around the world.
The people at Trans Atlantic Diesel are very knowledgeable about parts and repairs and workarounds.
Perkins 4.154 or Mazda / Bosch VE Pump
I am trying to confirm what engine I have on my boat. The boat was home built in Canada, and I bought it from the second owner, who told me it was a Perkins 4.108. From looking at the 4.108 manual it is clearly not. I now believe it is a marinised Mazda T2500, or possibly a 4.154 for the following reasons.
The fresh water pump is the same as the diagram for a Westerbeke W58 which is I believe based on a 4.154 (though it is different from the pump in a 4.154 Engine Manual)
The side of the engine is marked XA, but I can not find an engine number.
The Injector pump is a Diesel KIKI, and looks the same as a Bosch VE.
One thing that concerns me is the amount of diesel that is pumped back into the tank. A pipe is connected with a Banjo fitting to the pump with an "Overflow Restriction" bolt. This pipe then leads back to the tank, and when the engine is turned on (even before starting up) the electric pump continuosly ticks and pumps diesel through this back to the tank, about 2 litres in 5 minutes. In the diagram I have for a VE pump, there should be a Pressure Control Valve, but mine does not appear to have one, merely the fuel supply line attached with a banjo fiiting. Does anyone know if this is the correct setup.
I found most of this information via this forum, so thanks in advance for the very useful posts.

SmartBar is returning to Melbourne Museum by popular demand! On 26 July from 6pm, the second adults-only SmartBar will focus on Mind and The Human Body. The Science and Life exhibitions will be open after dark with talks, displays, activities and music to boot.
The Live Exhibits crew were very popular at the first SmartBar and they are back again with a look at creatures that bite and sting, how venom interacts with the body, and how our minds can turn healthy wariness of venomous animals into debilitating phobias.
Australia is notorious for its venomous wildlife. Even our cute furry Platypus carries a poisoned spur that causes excruciating pain for any unfortunate human on its receiving end. But did you know that venom can have positive effects on humans too? The field of bioprospecting is uncovering new compounds from the venom of snakes, scorpions, centipedes and spiders that may help to treat cancer and many other diseases.

Arachnophobia – the fear of spiders – is the most common phobia in western society. You might think it's simple evolutionary common sense to fear something that can harm you. However, the lives of the truly arachnophobic are governed entirely by their relationship with spiders, leading some to risk their lives by jumping from moving cars and out of upper storey windows. For others, every daily decision, from the car they drive to where they live, is based on avoiding eight-legged critters.

MV's manager of Live Exhibits, Patrick Honan, likes spiders – especially the big black hairy ones. He has helped people face their arachnophobia through cognitive behaviour therapy, followed by a controlled process of desensitisation called exposure therapy. He'll be speaking at SmartBar about the root cause of our fear of spiders, and whether it's justified. Whether you're fond or fearful of spiders, Patrick's stories are not to be missed.
SmartBar's Brain, Mind, Eyes, Drinks and DJ event is on for one night only on 26 July 2012. For more information or to buy tickets online, head over to the SmartBar What's On listing.

iPhone 4 not connecting WK
I picked up an iPhone 4 a couple months back and recently tried getting it to connect via Bluetooth, and nothing. Just searches and searches. My old original iPhone would connect right away everytime. Jeep is an 09. Anyone have this issue?
Re: iPhone 4 not connecting WK
My 2010 does this all of the time. Sometimes its connected and sometimes its not. It's a pain. Go to create a new connection/phone, and then you'll have to add a name for it and a 4 digit password. Go to bluetooth on your iphone and you'll see "UCONNECT" touch it, enter the password and then you should be good. Its been a while, but I have pretty much just given up on the feature. I'll check out how mine works on the way to school tomorrow morning, and I will post back at lunch with the details!
Re: iPhone 4 not connecting WK
Where do you find the "new connection/phone" reference? Maybe that's what I'm missing
Re: iPhone 4 not connecting WK
Go into settings, then blue tooth if thats an option. Or click the UCONNECT button. I forgot how to get there without getting into my Jeep. I would suggest either of those. Again I'll check tomorrow morning to make sure.
Re: iPhone 4 not connecting WK
Thanks Ryan. I'll try it today.
Re: iPhone 4 not connecting WK
Had some time yesterday, tried it out and it worked. Just been a while since I've had to add a phone. Thank you again
Re: iPhone 4 not connecting WK
No problem. I'm glad it worked out for you.

Yabby You
When not recording his own material, Yabby You launched the careers of other new singers including Michael Prophet, Wayne Wade, and Tony Tuff. He also began producing the early recordings of such performers as Willie Williams, Ras I-buna, and Half Pint. A Yabby You-produced recording usually featured a distinctive bassline combined with organs, horns, and soaring harmonies that he used to create a meditative, spiritual atmosphere. He continued recording steadily through the mid-'80s, and then abruptly stopped after a 1985 North American tour with his backup band, the Gladiators. He often needed crutches to perform. He recorded after that but nothing was released, so, in essence, Yabby You disappeared until 1991 when some of those recordings began to emerge. After that, he resurfaced and began releasing new and old material again. In 2000 he released a singles remix project with Glen Brown; the album included a remix of "Conquering Lion" by Smith & Mighty. Yabby You died on January 12, 2010, from a ruptured brain aneurysm. ~ Sandra Brennan

Painting white floors
Newbie here, first post.
I want to paint my ugly cheap wood tiles parquet flooring white. I've been to a few places and they all tell me different ways to do it and I am completely lost right now.
What I want is simple. I want it white. Semi-glossy to glossy white. Benjamin Moore told me they have nothing for wood floors that is glossy (or semi-glossy). Same thing at Sherman Williams. They both have It satin but I want something that shine more than satin, hence glossy or semi-gloss. That's the look I am going for.
Oil based paint could work on the glossy side but since the floors will be white and I get plenty of sun inside, I don't want it to turn yellow with time.
What I've been told so far:
1- Oil based exterior primer coat.
2- 2 coats of exterior acrylic floor enamel
Does that make sense?
Anyone here have successfully paint wood floors (semi)glossy white?
Care to tell me what products (brand) you use and how to do it properly?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Is the floor outside?
I can think of a whole bunch of reasons this idea is not going to work out in your favor.
Gloss = Slippery.
White will show up every speck of dirt.
The time and money involved to remove all the old sealer so the primer would have a chance to bond to something.
Even old stained and sealed trim has a hard time to keep from peeling and chipping, now factor in someone walking on it and this will be an on going mantaince issue from day one.
Give this recent thread a "look-see" before proceeding.
I just got done painting a floor in our house. I used Ace royal acrylic enamal satin porch & floor paint. Gave it 3 coats. After a week of curing I gave it 3 coats of Ace urathane fortified acrylic floor finish. Very shiny but not slippery.
The only thing worse than a white floor for maintenance would be a black one. They will show every single bit of dirt in the universe 5 minutes after cleaning them and the gloss will become matte in the traffic areas, showing the pathways.
Thanks to all the replies.
I guess I wasn't perhaps clear enough in my first message.
I am not asking whether I should do It or not, because I am doing it. I was/am asking how to do it properly. To someone who did it successfully already.
It doesn't have to be super shiny, but satin will not be enough for what I want. Semi-glossy would be perfect.
It is for an inside flooring.
And It isn't a beautiful french antique parquet here. It is the ugly cheap 12X12 tiles-we-put-that-instead-of-nice-and-real-woodfloors-cuz-its-cheaper type...
Well, if you're bent on doing it.......I would sand it well, vacuum dust, and then wet mop the floors to get all the dust. Personally, I would prime with a bonding primer such as Zinsser's Cover Stain, something that has some bite to it and sticks to anything. After it dries, again, sand lightly and remove dust. Then you have some choices.....you could apply a white satin porch and floor enamel. Allow that to dry thoroughly.....even several days would be great. Then, apply 2 or 3 coats of gloss polyurethane....sanding between coats. That's the process I would choose if trying to achieve the high gloss look you are after. Prep is imperative. Removing dust is even more important. Any dust that gets stuck in the poly will show up big time.
Also I certainly would not apply ANY exterior products on it. I cannot imagine someone at Benny Moore told you that.:eek:
Depending on the condition of the floor, I'm not sure I'd opt to go with a primer (oil or acrylic) as most/many manufacturers recommend their floor enamels not be applied over primer - plus most/many manufacturers don't recommend their primers (oil or acrylic) be used on floors. Instead apply 2 - 3 coats of the finish product over your properly prepped floor.
Next, if you live in an area where you can still buy architectural grade oil based products, I wouldn't necessarily back away from an oil because it may turn yellow - they can...they will...but it is the lack of sunlight is what will cause an oil finish to yellow more noticeably than the other way around.
An acrylic floor paint will work fine (non-yellowing for the most part), and if you can't find it in a higher sheen (semi or high gloss), consider using a DTM product...while not actually recommended for floors, they'll hold up well enough for light foot traffic, and are often times available in a semi or gloss finish. If you live near a PPG dealer, ask about their "Breakthrough" product (space age acrylic coating) - it's super durable, available in different sheens, and IS recommended for floors (including heavy and tow motor traffic). Amazing product.
I wouldn't recommend using a polyurethane over a white floor unless you can find a water-borne acrylic poly RECOMMENDED for floors (not as easy to find as one may think). The reason is this - while pretty clear, alkyd (oil) polys still have a slight amber cast to 'em, and it'll show on a white floor. An app of alkyd poly could make the floor look kinda dingy. Don't confuse these new Water-Borne Alkyd modified Polys as acrylic coatings either...they're not, and even though they are borne in water, they still have an amber tone that'll show on a white surface. Acrylic Poly only if you decide to go that route.
Good luck on your project - it'd be really neat if you could post some before and after pics.
Nice to hear from you Ric. Great post and I guess an old dog can learn new tricks.

Research Projects
Project at a Glance
Project Status: complete
Title: Size-time-compositional analyses of aerosols during SCAQS
Principal Investigator / Author(s): Cahill, Thomas A
Contractor: Air Quality Group, Crocker Nuclear Laboratory, UC Davis
Contract Number: A732-074
Research Program Area: Atmospheric Processes
This report describes the work done by the Air Quality Group of Crocker Nuclear Laboratory in the 1987 Southern California Air Quality Study. The main objective of the study was to form a comprehensive data base of aerosol and meteorological measurements in the South Coast Air Basin for further air quality and meteorological studies. Our participation in SCAQS consisted of monitoring four sites in the Los Angeles basin with high size-time-compositional resolution, emphasizing the fine aerosols that impact visibility. The subsequent analyses from two sampling methods (nine-stage impactors for high size resolution and cyclone samplers with teflon filters for high compositional sensitivity) led to a relatively complete elemental characterization of fine aerosols with their size distribution. Sampling and analysis methods are described along with their results and quality assurance.
Eighty to ninety percent of the fine aerosol mass was accounted for by the elements from H to Pb, while hydrogen had surprisingly high correlations with mass (R-squares from 0.88 to 0.99). The size resolved elemental data showed that sulfur had complicated size and time patterns across the Los Angeles Basin with two important patterns emerging in the optically important size region for sulfur from 0.34 to 2.12 µm. There can be a growth in total sulfur concentration with a constant size profile or there can be a change to a coarser size fraction, generally but not always with increasing concentration. This suggest there are two different formation modes for sulfur.

Arcade Fire Working on New Album With LCD Soundsystem Frontman
December 7, 2012 | Posted by
James Murphy's denial in October that he was producing Arcade Fire's new album appears to have been untrue. MusicWeek spoke with the band's manager Scott Rodger, who has confirmed that the LCD Soundsystem frontman is in the studio with the indie rock band working on the group's first album since their Grammy-winning effort The Suburbs.
"They're in with James Murphy on three or so songs, plus Markus Dravs who is a long-time collaborator," said Rodgers. "They write too many songs – that's a good problem to have. There's around 35 songs with Arcade Fire, two albums'-worth for sure."
The album should hit stores sometime next year.

Determinants and consequences of information sharing with key suppliers
Yigitbasioglu, Ogan (2008) Determinants and consequences of information sharing with key suppliers. PhD thesis, Hanken School of Economics.
Accepted Version
(PDF 467kB)
The economic environment of today can be characterized as highly dynamic and competitive if not being in a constant flux. Globalization and the Information Technology (IT) revolution are perhaps the main contributing factors to this observation. While companies have to some extent adapted to the current business environment, new pressures such as the recent increase in environmental awareness and its likely effects on regulations are underway. Hence, in the light of market and competitive pressures, companies must constantly evaluate and if necessary update their strategies to sustain and increase the value they create for shareholders (Hunt and Morgan, 1995; Christopher and Towill, 2002). One way to create greater value is to become more efficient in producing and delivering goods and services to customers, which can lead to a strategy known as cost leadership (Porter, 1980). Even though Porter (1996) notes that in the long run cost leadership may not be a sufficient strategy for competitive advantage, operational efficiency is certainly necessary and should therefore be on the agenda of every company. ----- ----- ----- Better workflow management, technology, and resource utilization can lead to greater internal operational efficiency, which explains why, for example, many companies have recently adopted Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems: integrated softwares that streamline business processes. However, as today more and more companies are approaching internal operational excellence, the focus for finding inefficiencies and cost saving opportunities is moving beyond the boundaries of the firm. Today many firms in the supply chain are engaging in collaborative relationships with customers, suppliers, and third parties (services) in an attempt to cut down on costs related to for example, inventory, production, as well as to facilitate synergies. Thus, recent years have witnessed fluidity and blurring regarding organizational boundaries (Coad and Cullen, 2006). ----- ----- ----- The Information Technology (IT) revolution of the late 1990's has played an important role in bringing organizations closer together. In their efforts to become more efficient, companies first integrated their information systems to speed up transactions such as ordering and billing. Later collaboration on a multidimensional scale including logistics, production, and Research & Development became evident as companies expected substantial benefits from collaboration. However, one could also argue that the recent popularity of the concepts falling under Supply Chain Management (SCM) such as Vendor Managed Inventory, Collaborative Planning, Replenishment, and Forecasting owe to the marketing efforts of software vendors and consultants who provide these solutions. Nevertheless, reports from professional organizations as well as academia indicate that the trend towards interorganizational collaboration is gaining wider ground. For example, the ARC Advisory Group, a research organization on supply chain solutions, estimated that the market for SCM, which includes various kinds of collaboration tools and related services, is going to grow at an annual rate of 7.4% during the years 2004-2008, reaching to $7.4 billion in 2008 (Engineeringtalk 2004).

Thai Beef Salad
We were inspired to make Thai Beef Salad after having a homemade version at our friend's sister's house. It's a wonderful combination of flavors – tangy from the lime juice, spicy from the hot chili sauce, salty from the fish sauce, mild and refreshing crunch from the cucumbers and carrots, and of course hearty from the beef! We should have asked for her recipe when she made it for us, but instead we decided to piece it together by what we remembered. It was such a great snack that we thought we ought to share it with you guys!

Love the colour and flavour combination. I can have this for lunch and dinner….yum
# Cookin' Canuckon 31 Jan 2010 at 7:14 am
This looks fantastic – my favorite flavors! Do you know if flap meat goes by a different name? I don't think I've seen that in my local store.
# Ed Schenk@ Detroit Eatson 31 Jan 2010 at 10:46 am
This looks delicious! I love Thai flavors.
# Sook @ My Fabulous Recipeson 31 Jan 2010 at 6:02 pm
I love how fresh the salad looks even with cooked beef! Lovely.
Oh yes, this is very much something I'd adore munching on! Yum!
We love Thai food around here. In fact, we just had some last night. The bf is a huge meat lover so I think I'll have to be a good little girlfriend and make this for him.
# thefoodaddictson 03 Feb 2010 at 12:57 pm
Hi Cookin' Canuck – sorry I didn't respond earlier about your question! Flap meat is also known as skirt steak. Just a thin piece of meat. We buy our flap meat at Costco in bulk, so we put them in small ziploc bags and freeze them. It's nice when we need some beef for a recipe – like this Thai Beef Salad!
# For Two, Pleaseon 03 Feb 2010 at 2:42 pm
YUM. we always order beef salad whenever we eat out at a Thai restaurant…guess next time, we'll eat in for it!
It looks so inviting & yummy. I've just bought a bottle of fish sauce just to make beef salad recently ^_^
# Hannaon 04 Mar 2010 at 7:55 am

# Danon 31 May 2010 at 3:17 pm
I just made this yesterday and follow your instruction to the tee and the salad came out tasting pretty bland compare to the Thai salad I tasted from the restaurant. Is there something I'm missing?

May 15, 2014 - Barb Rogers, RivertonEditor:
l loved Chris Peck's column on his travels in the April 18 Ranger. First, I had to look up the lyrics to "Marrakesh Express" by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
We don't consider ourselves world travelers, but we have been fortunate enough to be able to travel to Mexico on several occasions, and we made a trip to ltaly a few years ago to visit the Sistine Chapel, Venice, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the Coliseum.
l can relate to donkeys intermingling with cars, chickens in cages on a rickety bus, horns honking, people shouting in a language foreign to your ear (but you still get the gist of what they are saying), motorbikes weaving their way through cars and buses in Rome. It can be scary, exciting and awesome all at the same time.
One can't help but glean and learn some of the history of a country that is thousands of years old, not hundreds like the U.S.A. Chris is fortunate to have visited some far away places. He was so right when he wrote "there is something powerful about getting out of your own comfort zone in travel."
For me traveling to places we have not ventured before alerts my whole body and my senses are piqued. What will be around the next corner? What will we see that we have never seen before ?
If you have the desire and opportunity to travel to other countries, or even within these United States, do not let fear hold you back. The language barrier, the strange customs, the unfamiliar country is sometimes daunting but there are ways to travel within your comfort zone.
We traveled to Italy with a tour group. Our guides knew the traffic idiosyncrasies, the language, and the customs. They took care of where we slept, where we ate, what we saw. We traveled with friends, but we also met people from all over the world. We were kindred spirits, out for an adventure, and we experienced a wonderful one.
If you decide to explore New York City or Washington, D.C., as soon as you stand on a street corner with a map, someone will be there to help you. We have never seen such friendly and helpful people.
Like Chris, wherever Jerry and l travel we tend to compare it to Wyoming, but when we arrive back in our beloved state we cannot help but say (as Dorothy did), "There's no place like home."

OGDEN, Utah – Northern Arizona volleyball's Kelli Dallmann received the Outstanding Freshman Award for her play during the 2009 season, the Big Sky Conference announced on Thursday. The award, along with all-conference selections, was decided following a vote by the league's nine head coaches and announced from the site of the championship in Cheney, Wash., on Nov. 26.
Dallmann, a setter and outside
hitter, ended the season with averages of 2.43 kills-per-set, 3.74
assists-per-set and 2.22 digs-per-set. She is one of only four
players in Division I women's volleyball to average more than
two kills, three assists and two digs-per-set.
The Peoria, Ariz., native also tallied three triple-doubles this season, two more than any other player in the Big Sky Conference. Dallmann is currently just one of five players in the country that has posted three or more triple-doubles and is the only freshman to do so.
In league play, Dallmann averaged 2.88 kills, 2.38 digs and 4.05 assists-per-set. She also chipped in 3.10 points-per-set for the Lumberjacks.
This was the second consecutive year NAU volleyball claimed the Outstanding Freshman Award. Sophomore outside hitter Lexi Sullivan earned the award in 2008.

THE woman stated, "I've never written a cover letter. I do not even know what goes into one. Can you tell me what I should write and how to do it?"
The tone of her voice was clearly one of confusion. Though she was on the phone, it was as if I could see through the phone lines that her face was a huge question mark.
Ironically, the position the woman was applying for was a position within Women At Work. She had seen the announcement, and did not follow the directions, but instead called about how to apply. What flummoxed me was that she would call an organization like Women At Work, where we educate men and women about how to look for, apply for and prepare for jobs, and still not know about following directions.
I explained to her what to put in a cover letter, emphasizing that it was an opportunity to express herself, highlight skills, etc. And she hung up the phone with a very questionable hesitancy. She simply did not know her next step, and I sensed her trepidation.
The cover letter is important, particularly when an employer asks for it. And it can help a job candidate rise to the top.
Let me begin at the beginning. Women At Work asked for the applicants for the position to apply via email to a website. The instructions, at the conclusion of the job announcement, stated to submit a cover letter and a resume. The first step naturally is to determine if the candidate has the appropriate skills; match key words in the job description to words on one's resume. (More about this in a future column because it is fundamental).
The next step is to follow the directions on the job announcement. If one wants to be seriously considered for a position, this step is basic. As I say often to candidates who ask me questions about potential employers or about applying for jobs, "The employer is in charge. They have something you want. You must follow their rules."
In this instance, Women At Work asked for a cover letter, not to be frivolous, but to assess each candidate's ability to write and construct a sentence. In last week's column I talked about spelling and a bit about grammar, stressing the need to be concise and clear. I focused on the resume primarily. But the rules apply to the cover letter as well.
The cover letter offers an opportunity to highlight a particularly important skill, drawing perhaps from the job announcement.
As an example, if the job announcement called for someone with strong accounting skills, the applicant should emphasize either work or volunteer positions in which she or he worked on accounting software, performed functions in the accounting area or elaborate on one's knowledge of accounting perhaps as an area of study during one's educational background.
The cover letter, no more than three-quarters of a page for ideal length, should be a statement about one's ability to construct a sentence and follow through on thoughts and communicating them.
This skill is an art that could be rapidly disappearing, yet remains important.
Robin McCarthy is the executive director of Women at Work, a Pasadena-based career and job resource center. She can be reached at 626-796-6870 or at womenatwork.org.

First of the Month U.S. Economic Data
First of the Month U.S. Economic Data
There were plenty of calendar firsts yesterday – first day of the business week, the month, the third quarter, and the second half of the year. Generally those types of calendar days coincide with stronger capital flows into assets. This month, there might be some trepidation as the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has made it clear that its intention to taper monthly bond purchases will be data dependent.
Therefore, investors must pay close attention to each report released this month. Monday morning, the data release began with U.S. ISM Manufacturing and U.S. Construction Spending.
Let's take a look….
U.S. ISM Manufacturing (Figure 1.1)
- June rose to 50.9, better than last month's 49.0 and consensus estimate of 50.5
- The new orders to inventory ratio rose back into positive territory at +1.4 versus last month's (-0.2)
- New orders rose to 51.9 from 48.8 in May
- Inventories rose to 50.5 from 49.0 in May
- Prices paid rose to 52.5 from 49.5 in May
- Employment fell to 48.7 from 50.1 in May
- Production rose to 53.4 from 48.6 in May
- Order backlogs fell to 46.5 from 48.0 in May
- Exports rose to 54.5 from 51 in May
Construction Spending (Figure 1.2)
- May construction spending rose 0.5%, below estimate for a 0.6% gain
- April construction spending was revised lower from +0.4% to +0.1%
- Private residential construction spending rose 1.2% in May to it highest level since May 2008
- Private construction spending was unchanged in May
- Public construction spending rose 1.8% in May
Let me give some perspective on how I expect investors should be interpreting the many data releases over the next few weeks. First, many observers including myself, were rather surprised by the hawkish FOMC comments at the last meeting. Collectively, the FOMC is being challenged, not by a question of "will they taper?" but "should they taper?"
Monday morning's U.S. data release was tepid. The overall ISM bounced back above 50, as did the new orders to inventory ratio. However, the employment component did weaken to a level not reported since September 2008.
Construction spending has been strong all during 2013 although this most recent report is not quite as strong as prior months this year.
Nothing about these reports will motivate the FOMC to "not" taper. It will take much more negative economic data releases than what was released Monday for that to be suggested. Next up: Friday's U.S. jobs report with current expectations as follows.
Friday, July 5: U.S. Jobs Report Consensus Estimates
- Change in nonfarm payrolls: +160,000 to +175,000. Last month: +175,000
- Change in private payrolls: +170,000 to +185,000. Last month: +178,000
- Unemployment rate down to 7.5% from 7.6% last month

Oct. 21, 2013
Terre Haute, Ind. -
The University of Nevada cross country team finished 25th racing against some of their toughest competition of the year at the Indiana Pre-National Invitational in Terre Haute, Ind.
Nevada competed well in its first 6,000-meter race of the season running in what was also the largest race they have been a part of this season with over 225 student-athletes in the race. The Pack ran its second race in a row shorthanded, without one of its top two runners, as junior Demerey Kirsch and without sophomore Erika Root. Senior Samantha Diaz returned to action in solid race form finishing in 32nd place with a time of 21:52.77. Sophomore Emily Myers followed closely behind finishing in 60th place with a time of 22:12.11. Junior Caitlin Devitt-Payne was the third finisher for the Pack with a time of 23:22.03, and freshman Cheyenne Hunter ran well in her first collegiate 6,000-meter race finishing with a time of 23:29.00. Sophomore Laura Palacios continued to show improvements as she finished in 23:57.84.
Head coach Kirk Elias was unable to put a full team out on the course, but he knows his team has a lot of potential, "We have not been the team we really are all year, but we will have a chance to show how good we can be." He did find some bright spots in his team's performance from the weekend, "Sam had a very solid performance in her first run back, and Emily also had a strong race." Coach Elias has been encouraged with the team's development, "Cheyenne showed significant improvement, and took a big step in the right direction."

Re: Carb Cleaning
I'm disassembling a Ford 1100 carb for rebuild. I want to let it soak in carb cleaner for a couple of hours, but I'm not sure whether or not that would damage the power assembly. I'm not sure what rubber pieces are inside the power assembly but I've been told it shouldn't be removed. Will it be safe to soak the carb for a couple of hours with the power assembly?
take the carb completely apart and clean metal parts only
Well I know that you would normally only soak the metal parts. However, everything I've read says you cannot take the power assembly out. So the carb is completely disassembled and ready for cleaning, but the plastic venture and the power assembly are still in and I'm not sure how to remove them. But thanks for the reply.
In your particular case, I think I'd just spray it with some non-residual cleaner like they use for carb linkage, etc

By Paul Kennedy
On Monday, Jurgen Klinsmann will name the 30 players he's bringing to the pre-World Cup
camp that begins Wednesday at Stanford University.
Klinsmann says he's very conscious how important
his selections are not just for the success of the team but also for the impact it has on a player's life to be picked or passed over.
Klinsmann has used a lot of players -- 52 in all
since the beginning of 2013 -- but his final selections are largely predictable. He's always been conservative in his selections, rewarding those at the top of his pecking order. There's no chance
he'll do what his German counterpart, Joachim Loew, did and bring six uncapped players to Stanford.
At most, two players who were not capped before
this year will be among the lucky 30 headed to the Farm at the beginning of the week. Barring last-minute injuries, these are the 30 players -- 16 from MLS clubs and 14 from foreign clubs -- projected
to be on the USA's short list:
Klinsmann's Projected 30:
Brad Guzan, Aston Villa
Tim Howard, Everton (England)
Nick Rimando, Real Salt Lake
DaMarcus Beasley, Puebla (Mexico)
Besler, Sporting KC
John Brooks, Hertha Berlin (Germany)
Geoff Cameron, Stoke City (England)
Brad Evans, Seattle Sounders
Omar Gonzalez, LA Galaxy
Clarence Goodson, San
Jose Earthquakes
Michael Parkhurst, Columbus Crew
Tim Ream, Bolton Wanderers (England)
DeAndre Yedlin, Seattle Sounders
Alejandro Bedoya, Nantes (France)
Kyle Beckerman, Real Salt Lake
Michael Bradley, Toronto FC
Brad Davis,
Houston Dynamo
Mikkel Diskerud, Rosenborg (Norway)
Landon Donovan, LA Galaxy
Maurice Edu, Philadelphia Union
Julian Green, Bayern Munich (Germany)
Fabian Johnson,
Hoffenheim (Germany)
Jermaine Jones, Besiktas (Turkey)
Graham Zusi, Sporting KC
Jozy Altidore, Sunderland (England)
Terrence Boyd, Rapid Vienna (Austria)
Clint Dempsey, Seattle Sounders
Aron Johannsson, AZ (Netherlands)
Eddie Johnson, D.C. United
Chris Wondolowski, San Jose Earthquakes
DeAndre Yedlin and Julian Green
are the two youngsters Klinsmann will bring in. Yedlin might be considered a long shot to make the final 23, but he like Green has speed to burn and could make things interesting in the two-week camp
that will precede the match against Azerbaijan May 27 in San Francisco, the first of the three friendlies in the send-off series.
The two players who made late runs to make the projected
30 are Maurice Edu and Tim Ream. Like Parkhurst, Edu returned to MLS to gain playing time. Ream, the only player not
used by Klinsmann in the last 16 months, was the Player of the Year at Bolton Wanderers. Edu has a better shot at making the final 23, though he is not a certainty. Ream provides cover at what has
emerged as Klinsmann's problem position -- center back -- and having another center back in camp is all the more critical because Omar Gonzalez has injured his
For my book, the toughest decisions are to omit Edgar Castillo and Joe Corona, who both played eight
games for the USA in 2013 and enjoyed good spring seasons with Tijuana, which reached the semifinals of the Concacaf Champions League and quarterfinals of the Torneo Clausura's Liguilla in Mexico
Castillo got one last chance against Ukraine in March but dropped down the U.S. depth chart once Michael Parkhurst returned to MLS and established
himself as reliable cover at both right and left back. Corona started the 2013 Gold Cup final against Panama but he later faded from the national team picture when he struggled with Xolos last fall
and Alejandro Bedoya, who blossomed after his move to French club Nantes, became an automatic selection in Klinsmann's lineup.
The only player who
played more games than Castillo and Corona did in 2013 and won't make the cut is Brek Shea, who made 10 appearances for the USA last year -- more than any
player not on the short list -- and whose goal won the Gold Cup for the USA. Klinsmann has overlooked Shea's club problems before, but Green's emergence gives Klinsmann a younger and more reliable
option as a late-game joker on the wing.

A lot of drugs hype me up and keep me awake at night… just had LS Spine fusion and found out in hospital that Soma seemed to do this and also percocet… one pharmacist did not believe me…. I am now am on hydrocodone/apap and I am up every 2-3 hours every night… maybe it is just because of the mod. pain, I am only 2 weeks post-op and am doing very well, otherwise
Are saying you were switched from Percocet to endocet ?
Why? Didn't the Percocet work to relieve the pain ?
I have been on percocet and then the pharmacy switched me to endocet. It is horrible. Does not work at all – it's like drinking water and expecting it to work. Has anyone else had a problem with endocet?

Reclaiming Futures: Communities Helping Teens Overcome Drugs, Alcohol and Crime: Multnomah County, Ore.
The Foundation's program, Reclaiming Futures: Communities Helping Teens Overcome Drugs, Alcohol, and Crime, was designed to: (1) develop new service delivery models that integrate comprehensive services into the juvenile justice system and promote the creation of community-based systems of care for substance-abusing youthful offenders; and (2) foster the development of local judicial leadership to guide juvenile justice and substance abuse treatment partnerships, and assist community-based treatment providers in assessing their effectiveness.This grant supports Reclaiming Futures Oregon to sustain the implementation of the Reclaiming Futures (RF) model. The Reclaiming Futures Oregon site will use this grant to launch a statewide RF initiative in Oregon, to be called Reclaiming Futures Oregon. This will likely be a two phase project. The purpose of this project is to invest the next 20 months in: (1) institutionalizing RF -- Multnomah Embrace, which is the local, county Reclaiming Futures effort; (2) laying groundwork for launching the initiative statewide by securing input and support from key state partners; (3) launching state-level and/or county-level planning, as appropriate, for implementation; and (4) obtaining funding for the initiative from additional sources.

They say February is one of the slowest months in tennis, but with 12 ATP tournaments, seven WTA tournaments and rounds of Davis and Fed Cup for good measure, it seems pretty fast-paced to me. What I'd compare February to is the first week of a Grand Slam tournament -- there's plenty to discuss, but it shouldn't be mistaken for the main events ahead. At the Slams, that means the second week, where the top players take back the headlines. On the calendar, that means March, where Indian Wells and Miami take center stage.
That's not to say February is devoid of big names, with Roger Federer and Andy Murray playing Davis Cup and impressive fields converging in Doha and Dubai. But these are the exceptions in a month full of small-stakes tournaments. Yet these events offer their own charms, specifically chances to watch players you wouldn't normally focus on. Players such as Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis, two relative unknowns who captivated fans around the world during the Australian Open with their charisma and talent. By the time Stanislas Wawrinka turned the tournament on its head, both teenagers were in the rearview mirror, but that's the difference between first-week and second-week players at majors -- something Australians Kyrgios and Kokkinakis are now keenly aware of.
The Kyrgios (or Kokkinakis, if you prefer) of Croatia may be Borna Coric, a 17-year-old currently ranked No. 303. He was given a wild card into this week's Zagreb Indoors, where he faced veteran Michael Berrer. Last year, Coric actually played Berrer in Zagreb qualifying, winning just four games. This year, he won a set and put a scare into the German, who was forced out of his defensive comfort zone to keep up with Coric's impressive and aggressive game. The Croat has an outstanding two-handed backhand, can serve with pop and has a taste for finishing at net. He lost 6-4, 3-6, 6-4, but it would be surprising not to see Coric resurface -- and win -- in tournaments down the road.
And perhaps that is the best way to describe February -- as a glimpse into the future. Look past the usual stable of French veterans in Montpellier and you'll find wild card Pierre-Hughes Herbert, the 22-year-old who last fall took Novak Djokovic to a tiebreaker at the Paris Masters. In Fed Cup, it's 18-year-old Madison Keys -- not Serena Williams or Sloane Stephens -- who will lead the United States against Italy. And Kyrgios and Kokkinakis even gave encore performances in Davis Cup last weekend. With both tours so top heavy, February is a good time to see what else is out there, and there's no shortage of options.
The only thing slow about February may be the schedules of the elites, but I don't think that's a bad thing. Whether you're a fan of the Big Four or not, it's in the sport's best interest to see them healthy and playing at their peak. They'll be back before you know it. For now, show some love before, after and during Valentine's Day for those who will likely be their opening-round opponents come March.

Dear Sammy.
I'm looking at your little diary and crying, because you are not here with me. I tried so so hard to bring you with me, but in the end there was no way.
The last thing I could do for you is make sure you got neutered and find a loving new home for you. I hope the new people love you as much as I do.
I hear you're doing great. I remember the last time daddy put me on speakerphone so that I could talk to you, and it broke my heart to hear you meow. I liked to think you missed me and were saying goodbye.
That was so long ago. I haven't heard your voice in so long, I haven't seen you for even longer. I miss you so much every single day.
I'm getting your precious little face tattooed onto my back. Maybe it will ease the pain. I will see you again in heaven, til then, I wish you the best little kitty life possible. I send you my love every day on the wind... I hope you look to the east and think of your mommy and the good times we had.
Goodbye my baby.
What's "neuter" mean????? :
Last night Zoe and I wrote an opera for mommy and daddy to enjoy all night. That must be why they leave the door open, to hear us sing.
I added my own interpretive dance moves, but Zoe got mad, so we had to halt productions. Stupid Zoe. I'm gonna go bite her tail.

I'll pitch in to the dinner fund for this guy. Thanks for helping out a fellow LEO, much appreciated!
Nice shot!
Old Dude is way past cool!
Glad he was able to assist and stay out of harms way as well.
Anti gunners should ask THAT officer if he is ok with average citizens having firearms?
Sure they could say the families of the couple that was killed by the shooter are not too pleased with firearms, but this is life.
The owners of the dogs should have tried to keep the dogs away from the nutjob.
Did they ever think to use a tie-out for the animals?
Boys and girls,,,,,remember, everything is BIGGER in Texas,,,,,I am beginning to think it may have been 165 kilometers :wink:,,,,,,,Good for the assistance; good guys sticking together.....
That is great! Very sad that the two victims were killed over something so stupid compared to a life. However at least some instant justice was served. Would love to hear the guys back story of why he felt compelled to shoot that far, was he confident had he done it before etc etc.?
To mr Stacy a BIG WELL DONE.:35:
Mr Stacy flanked him.
I've pulled off 50 yard shots with my SP101, but not in a situation like this. And hitting him 3 times, you can't call it luck.
Bullpoop on the distance. A football field and a 1/2?
Football field and almost 2/3, actually. If true then that is freaking awesome.
My favorite quote from this calm, cool, collected cowboy; "I had a side view of that man the whole time standin' there and I thought....I'm fixin' to put one in him if I can." Love it.

Current favorite piece of memorabilia? That "medal" from the Flying Monkey Marathon. Made of thin wood, looks hand carved ... but it represents a hard run, a PR, some cool people, and not even 100 people on the planet have one. I wouldn't sell it for $1,000.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

NEW YORK -- Omir Santos stood on the field conducting a postgame television interview, and J.J. Putz walked up and splattered his face with shaving cream.
Welcome to the majors.
Santos had just hit the first grand slam in Citi Field history for his first career RBI, backing a two-hitter by John Maine and three relievers that carried the New York Mets over Florida 7-1 Monday night, the Marlins' seventh straight loss.
• Hanley (wrist) hit by pitch; X-rays negative
Having landed in the left-field seats, the ball was lost to him. But Santos was brought back by the crowd of 38,573 for a curtain call.
"It's in my memory. That's it," Santos said. "Just the moment."
Santos' first-inning drive on a fastball from Anibal Sanchez (1-2) went about four rows in and was just the sixth home run for the Mets at the pitcher-friendly ballpark, their first in six games since April 17.
Two days shy of his 28th birthday, Santos is getting playing time because Brian Schneider is on the disabled list with a strained back muscle. Santos was in the Yankees' organization from 2001-07, then signed with Baltimore and made it up to the majors for the first time last Sept. 5.
Why did the native of Puerto Rico sign with the Mets in January?
"It's a winning team, a great city," he said. "You feel like home, because every corner that you stand, everybody speaks Spanish."
Santos' homer came in his 28th career at-bat and made him just the third player to hit a slam for his first big league homer while with the Mets, following Jack Hamilton and Jose Reyes. When Schneider is activated, the Mets likely will decide whether Santos or Ramon Castro will be the backup.
"We want to take a good look at him," manager Jerry Manuel said. "It will make for a tough decision."
Daniel Murphy and David Wright tripled for New York, which has more three-base hits (seven) at its new ballpark than homers. Overall, only 15 homers have been hit in 10 games at Citi Field, a stark contrast to the 26 that rocketed out of the new Yankee Stadium during the opening six-game homestand.
"Maybe in the summer the ball will carry better, when the weather gets warmer," Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez said.
Maine (1-2) won for the first time in four starts this season, allowing only an unearned run and one hit in six innings and lowering his ERA from 7.47 to 5.40. Sean Green pitched a hitless seventh, Putz followed with a one-hit eighth and Francisco Rodriguez finished the two-hitter around a pair of walks in a non-save situation.
"I think my first few starts I was really rushing myself," said Maine, who threw live batting practice between starts. "For some reason, I just get a little too excited out there."
Jorge Cantu hit an RBI single in the first after left fielder Gary Sheffield dropped Emilio Bonifacio's easy fly ball leading off for a two-base error, the fifth error by Mets outfielders this year. When Sheffield caught consecutive flyouts in the seventh inning, he twice received standing ovations from the crowd, which chanted his name.
Manuel vowed a visit to the outfield Tuesday.
"There's something going on out there. I got to find out. It's only out there when we're out there," he said. "It's not out there when they're out there."
Florida, which started 11-1, is on its longest losing streak since dropping eight straight from Aug. 15-22, 2007, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Sanchez, whose ERA rose from 2.50 to 4.13, gave up six runs and eight hits in six innings. He threw 40 pitches in the first.
"I don't know anything about that guy," he said of Santos, "but that was my mistake. One pitch. A fastball right in the middle."
Sheffield and Wright, who had gone 1-for-12 with no RBI and six strikeouts in the weekend series against Washington, hit RBI singles ahead of the slam. Wright tripled off the center-field wall in the eighth against Renyel Pinto and scored on Ryan Church's sacrifice fly.
Wright shaved his hair to a crew cut between Sunday and Monday.
"It's low maintenance. It's hot outside," he said. "Hopefully, it has some wins in it."
- Marlins SS Hanley Ramirez left after he was hit on the right hand by Maine's pitch in the first inning. X-rays were negative.
- Mets 2B Luis Castillo left in the fifth with a muscle spasm in his back.

The armored knights were the elite fighting men of medieval Europe. With their horses, armor, lances, and swords, they were both costly warriors and a figure with high cultural and social prestige. Although warfare rarely lived up to the ideal of mounted nobles clashing in chivalrous combat, knights were highly skilled soldiers who adapted well to the constantly evolving challenges of the medieval battlefield. In the 12th century, knights of the Christian kingdoms in Palestine formed military monastic orders such as the Knights Templar. Obeying austere religious rules, these fighting monks became elite forces dedicated to the struggle against the invading Islam. Named after the Temple in Jerusalem where they had their headquarters, the Templars accumulated wealth that attracted the envy of kings. The order was condemned for alleged heresy and suppressed in 1312.
Medieval society expected any young male of social standing to seek glory in war. Training was taken very seriously. Boys served first as pages and then as squires in the household of a knight who ensured their education in horsemanship and the use of the sword and lance. After graduation to knighthood, training continued through tournaments that honed fighting skills, and through more or less constant warfare. If there was no fighting to be had close to home, knights would seek it out, traveling to the edges of the Christian world to fight the "infidels." The classic form of knightly combat was the charge with couched lance on horseback. But knights were also effective on foot, wielding swords, maces, or battle-axes. The code of chivalry to which knights subscribed expressed a Christian ethic of warfare, but in practice the plundering, skirmishing, and sieges of medieval warfare left little place for idealism. In the relatively rare pitched battles, knights were sometimes routed by disciplined foot soldiers or bowmen, but they remained a dominant force into the 16th century. Fought in August 1346, the Battle of Crécy was one of the encounters that questioned knights' dominance on the battlefield. Although French and English knights did engage with lance and sword, the flower of French chivalry was mown down by Welsh longbow men.
