Who is starting today for the Mets?
RHP Seth Lugo (4.50 ERA/4.08 FIP, 1.45 WHIP), who allowed three runs on seven hits while walking two and striking out five in 6 2/3 innings this past Saturday against the Rockies.

The Mets have activated LH reliever Josh Smoker off the disabled list and have designated RH reliever Neil Ramirez for assignment, the team announced Thursday.
Smoker, who had been on the DL with a left shoulder strain, had been rehabbing with Class A St. Lucie and Double-A Binghamton over the last two weeks.
The left-hander has a 7.45 ERA and 1.86 WHIP with 17 walks and 36 strikeouts in 29 innings (22 games) this season for the Mets. He last pitched for the Mets on June 13 against the Cubs, when he allowed three runs in four innings.

The Mets, who would reportedly rather deal Curtis Granderson, have not talked with Jay Bruce about being traded, Kristie Ackert reported July 20 in the Daily News.
Bruce still has a partial no-trade clause in his current contract, which expires at the end of this season, a source recently told James Wagner of the New York Times.
"I came here as a hired gun," Bruce said, according to Ackert. "I know what I am and what situation I am in. This is a business. Don't get me wrong, I love playing the game, I always will. But this is my job. I am a hired gun and I go where I am needed."

Mets infielders Asdrubal Cabrera and Neil Walker will begin taking ground balls at third base, Terry Collins told reporters Thursday.
Walker (hamstring) will begin practicing at the position once he comes back from the disabled list. However, Cabrera won't play third until Walker returns to the lineup, according to Collins. Cabrera told reporters that he is willing to slide over to third, a position he's only played once in his major league career.

Mets RHP Jacob deGrom has heard the chatter surrounding him and a potential trade, but is tuning it out.
"I guess it's a good thing if other teams want you," deGrom told reporters Wednesday night. "But I've got a job to do here, and that's my main focus right now."
After tossing 6 1/3 innings of one-run ball on Wednesday night, deGrom has a 3.37 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with 144 strikeouts -- a career-best 10.3 per nine innings -- in 125 2/3 innings (19 starts) this season. He is arbitration-eligible and under team control through 2020, after which he can file for free agency.

The Mets have informed their players - and teams interested in acquiring them - that they plan to rotate their outfielders to balance playing time through the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, multiple sources recently told Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports.
According Rosenthal, the Mets prefer to trade Curtis Granderson over Jay Bruce, who they could hold on to and make a qualifying offer that could potentially net them a compensatory draft pick if he signs with a new team in the offseason. However, for now, Rosenthal adds, neither Granderson or Bruce have drawn significant interest in the trade market.
"If they have the chance to make their organization better by trading me, they would be crazy not to do it," Bruce said on Wednesday, according to the NY Daily News. "I know that they have to look out for their future here. I expect they will do that if they have the chance. I know what can happen."

The Mets (41-50) play the third game of a four-game series against the Cardinals (46-47) on Tuesday at 7:10 p.m. at Citi Field on SNY.
Who is starting tonight for the Mets?
RHP Jacob deGrom (3.48 ERA/3.74 FIP, 1.18 WHIP), who is looking for his seventh straight win. He allowed two runs, one earned on four hits while striking out 11 and walking one in eight innings against the Rockies in his last start.
DeGrom has a 1.53 ERA over his last six starts and has a 2.03 ERA in 47 career starts at Citi Field. DeGrom's career home ERA is second-best in the majors since 2014, behind only Clayton Kershaw, who has a 1.72 ERA at Dodger Stadium.

Mets second baseman Neil Walker (hamstring tear) should begin playing rehab games soon and could return when the Mets play the Padres in San Diego beginning on Monday, manager Terry Collins said.
Walker, who was placed on the 10-day disabled list on June 15, recently began running.
In Walker's absence, Asdrubal Cabrera has shifted to second base with Jose Reyes at shortstop.
Walker has hit .270 with nine home runs and 33 RBI through 60 games in his second season in New York.

First baseman Jeremy Vasquez is off to a solid start to his professional career.
Vasquez, who turned 21 years old on Monday, is hitting .342 (27-for-79) with four homers and 22 RBI and has a .443 on-base percentage through 21 games with Kingsport. He was drafted in the 28th round last month out of Nova Southeastern University, which had won the 2016 Division II national title.
"All my success so far in Kingsport is all because of the head coach at Nova -- just everything he's taught me this past year," Vasquez said, referring to Greg Brown, a former Astros scout who once signed J.D. Martinez. "Everything I've learned from those guys over there I've translated over here to Kingsport. I'm hitting the ball as well as I've ever hit it. He talks to J.D. Martinez and [Padres infielder] Carlos Asuaje all the time about hitting. I would just say the main thing he taught is using the big part of the field and trying to drive the ball -- not trying to pull everything."
Vasquez has another strong influence in his baseball career. His 24-year-old brother James Vasquez, also a lefty-hitting, lefty-fielding first baseman, was drafted by the Reds in the 25th round in 2015 out of the University of Central Florida. James was promoted to high-A Daytona a month ago and is hitting .275 with six doubles and three RBI in 22 games since arriving in the Florida State League...
It's feeling like the Mets may be missing the moment to make a trade. Admittedly, I started today worried they may botch the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, end up stuck with pending free agents and lose out on acquiring prospects and players who could help next season.
However, after talking to people around baseball, I'm slightly less pessimistic.
For starters, according to Ken Rosenthal, Mets GM Sandy Alderson and the Mets are willing to include cash in trades to get better prospects back in deals, sources with knowledge of the team's thinking said.
This is good news. It'll help push things through. And, I'm glad Alderson was able to convince ownership of this approach when the front office held a strategy session earlier this week.

Yoenis Cespedes has struck out twice and is hitless in nine at-bats since missing Sunday's game with the same sore hip that forced him to leave a game early the day before.
It has been 66 at-bats and nearly a month since Cespedes last hit a home run.
Cespedes, 31, missed 37 games earlier this season due to a sore quad and a strained hamstring. He also missed time last season with a sore quad, which he initially tried to play through before ending up on the disabled list.
"There's a little concern there," Terry Collins admitted Tuesday, when asked about how Cespedes has struggled this season. "Obviously, power is huge from the legs. Just looking at the swings, the lower half seems to be fine. He's just not getting the bat out in front."

The Red Sox are looking to acquire a third baseman and have interest in Mets infielders Wilmer Flores, Asdrubal Cabrera and T.J. Rivera, according to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports.

The Mets were charged with three errors, which led to three unearned runs, during Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Cardinals at Citi Field.
By the end of the game, T.J. Rivera had committed two errors, Jose Reyes misplayed a ground ball and bungled a double-play ball, Asdrubal Cabrera confused his feet on two throws to second, Yoenis Cespedes let a fly ball drift over his head and Lucas Duda dropped a pop up in foul ground. He also struggled to scoop several short hops at first base, but that is mostly due to the consistently poor throws coming to him from Rivera and Reyes.
"It was kind of ugly for us in the beginning," Reyes said.
The beginning? Try the middle and the end, too, Jose...
The Mets (41-50) have lost three consecutive games, eight of their last 11 and are 2-3 on their 10-game home stand. With 12 days until the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, they are nine losses back of the Rockies, who lead the final Wild Card spot and are on pace to win 92 games.
To reach 92 wins, the Mets must go 51-20 the rest of this season.

1) Two errors and several misplays helped the Cardinals score four times in the first two innings off Rafael Montero. The 26-year-old was charged with two earned runs on seven hits and a walk with five strikeouts in six innings.
2) The Mets committed as many errors in the game -- three, including two by T.J. Rivera -- as hits. Yoenis Cespedes had a first-inning single and Michael Conforto went 2-for-4 with a double and a single.
3) Cardinals starter Michael Wacha allowed three hits, one walk and struck out eight in the first complete game and shutout of his career.

RHP Rafael Montero (5.77 ERA/3.52 FIP, 1.90 WHIP), who suffered a loss in his last start against the Phillies. He allowed four runs on eight hits while striking out six and walking two in 6.1 innings.
Montero has had trouble controlling his pitches this season as he allowed 5.5 walks per nine innings pitched.

The Yankees have reached out to the Mets to express interest in 1B Lucas Duda and closer Addison Reed, reports Mark Feinsand of MLB.com.
The Yankees, who are interested in acquiring a first baseman and late-inning reliever, were scouting the Mets on Monday night at Citi Field, according to the NY Post's Kevin Kernan.
The Mets are reportedly open to dealing any player who is not under team control beyond next season, including Reed and Duda.
Sandy Alderson said July 14 that he's not opposed to trading with the Yankees, despite the two teams not connecting on a player-for-player big-league deal since swapping Mike Stanton for Felix Heredia in 2004.
Tags: Addison Reed, Lucas Duda
Sandy Alderson was ahead of the curve back in the 1980s with Oakland, embracing sabermetrics at a time when it wasn't widely accepted in baseball. Now, is Alderson a step behind?
As this team's homestand opened, Alderson stuck to his long-held belief that defense should not be a primary emphasis when constructing a team. His reasoning: Wins are based on runs produced minus runs allowed. And fielding capability is only a fraction of run prevention, dwarfed by pitching.
As expected, teams are asking what it would take to acquire Mets relievers Jerry Blevins and Addison Reed, sources recently told NY Post reporter Mike Puma.
This past weekend, the Post's Joel Sherman said the Yankees have interest in Blevins. However, Puma believes the Mets do not want to trade him because he has a $7 million team option for 2018.
That said, the Mets are open to dealing Reed, according to Puma.

Yoenis Cespedes returned to the lineup Monday night and was hitless, going 0-for-5, after resting his sore hip the previous game.
Trailing 6-3 with two runners on base in the bottom of the ninth inning, Cespedes came to the plate with a chance to tie the game. However, he swung in a 3-0 count and grounded into a game-ending double play.
"He's the home-run hitter, he's the big guy on our team you turn to, and you got him in a great count," manager Terry Collins said after the game. "He's got to get something good to hit, and he just didn't hit it."

Zack Wheeler was unable to pitch out of trouble in the sixth inning when he allowed four of five batters to reach base during Monday's 6-3 loss to the Cardinals at Citi Field.
"It was my fault," Wheeler later explained. "I should have made my pitches and gotten out of that. Our bullpen, I trust them in every situation. Today, we just couldn't get the job done when we needed to."
After escaping a two-on, two-out jam in the third inning, as well as a bases-loaded, two-out jam in the fifth, Wheeler (3-7) gave up a two-run home run to Paul DeJong and an RBI double to Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright before getting pulled from the game.

Mets OF Yoenis Cespedes who sat out on Sunday due to a sore hip, is back in the lineup for Monday night's series-opener against the Cardinals at Citi Field.
Cespedes did not play Sunday after he left Saturday night's game with soreness in his left hip after an awkward slide in the outfield.
Cespedes missed 37 games earlier this season due to a strained hamstring and quad soreness.
"I'm just glad there's nothing more serious because it sure looked a lot worse than it turned out to be," Mets manager Terry Collins said before Sunday's game, according to Newsday's Marc Carig. "We're glad that it's only going to be a day, not a week or a month."

Mets OF Jay Bruce still has a partial no-trade clause in his current contract, which expires at the end of this season, a source recently told James Wagner of the New York Times.

Terry Collins said this past weekend that he isn't currently focused on the Wild Card race. Instead, he's preaching to his team a goal of getting to 90 wins.
"You can't just throw up the white flag and say the season is over,'' Collins said before losing on Sunday. "I said going into the break, let's win 51 of the 76 left. That's got to be our goal, get to 90 wins and see where we're at. I don't think for any stretch of the imagination that this is over yet.''
To win 90, the Mets must win 67 percent of their remaining games to go 49-24. In other words, they need to win every series they play, despite winning just half the series they have already played this season.
In the midst of a lost season for the Mets, an unlikely bright note has emerged -- T.J. Rivera. A red-hot July during which he has hit .394 with five extra-base hits over 37 plate appearances has pushed his OPS over .800 and he shows no signs of slowing down.
Despite going undrafted, Rivera has developed into a solid hitter and has the potential to be a valuable piece of the team going forward.
From the time he arrived in the Mets system, Rivera showed that he could hit. He never batted below .300 at any level and secured the 2016 Pacific Coast League batting title with a .353 average and a .909 OPS. He was never ranked as a top prospect, in part due to his relatively advanced age, but that performance earned him a well-deserved call-up to the big leagues last season, where he slashed .333/.345/.476 in 113 plate appearances.
There were few expectations of a repeat performance from Rivera going into 2017. His walk rate was under 3 percent, he didn't have much power and regression seemed inevitable from a 28-year-old entering his rookie year. Instead, he has been one of their best batters and may be hitting his way into a bigger role in 2018 and beyond.

The Mets have hesitated to call up prospect Amed Rosario from Triple-A Las Vegas because of possible turmoil in the big-league clubhouse stemming from Asdrubal Cabrera's lingering unhappiness, reports Bob Klapisch of The Record, citing one person familiar with management's thinking.
Cabrera is reportedly still upset over the team's decision to move him to second base. He publicly sought a trade in June, but soon backed away from the request. Cabrera seeks another opportunity to play shortstop and wants the team to exercise his option for 2018, but Jose Reyes has played at shortstop in every game he's played since June 13.

The Mets' last-ditch effort to resuscitate their season with a strong start to the second half apparently never had a chance.
Though the red-hot Jacob deGrom threw yet another gem, the Mets bats ran rampant in their 14-2 win over the Rockies Friday.

MONROVIA >> A robber who held up a Monrovia RadioShack at gunpoint Thursday may be responsible for other similar crimes in the region, authorities said.
Thursday's robbery took place about 3:45 p.m. at the store at 340 W. Huntington Drive, Monrovia police Sgt. Heath Harvey said.
The robber entered the store and brought a product to the register as if about to make a purchase, the sergeant said. But he then displayed a handgun and demanded money from an employee before fleeing with an unknown amount of cash.
Police described him as a white man between 38 and 42, about 5 feet 8 inches tall, of average build, with possibly green eyes.
A similar suspect description was mentioned in connection with another RadioShack robbery in Pasadena exactly one month ago on Feb. 20, authorities said. Detectives were looking into whether the Monrovia robber was linked to the Pasadena crime, as well as any others in the area.
In the Pasadena robbery, a man entered a RadioShack at 3535 Foothill Blvd, brandished a handgun and demanded cash, Pasadena police Lt. Vasken Gourdikian said at the time.
He was described as a white man in his early 40s, who was armed with a handgun.

Yeah, of course I have no idea exactly what Sonar is doing, but it may just be a simple little trick programmers can use to make things more efficient. For instance, on a 32 bit system I use a 32 bit word length for all variables which are 32 bit and lower; like simple integer math functions. The data flow will be larger but actually speed up processing because 32 bit word lengths are what the 32 bit OS and/or processor is going to use regardless. If I use smaller word lengths; like the actual size of a data type, it all has to be packaged together into 32 bit words anyway, then parsed back out in to its elements for processing and back in to 32 bit words for the return flight. so that's what adds more processor overhead and slows things down.
Hope this makes sense. Tom----- Original Message ----- From: "D!J!X!" <megamansuperior@xxxxxxxxxxx>
The 64 bit processing thing you speak of is more on sonar's engine than theprocessor, you can't really use pure 64 apps on an x86 processor... Eventhen you can't really use x86 apps on an x64 processor without the help of amediator such as the wow64 protocol.The bit bridge thing is what I want to check out, to see if it just runs x86plugs inside sonar as 32bit plugs, meaning that the OS would have to usesomething like wow64 to make it work (might cause slow downs/instabilities), or if sonar does the convertion itself and presents the plug to the OS as anative 64bit app (which then would depend on how good cakewalk's protocol is to measure stability/speed).

YOU can turn on 64 bit processing even in a 32 bit environment, again, not exactly sure what that means, but it seems to make things sound better, bigger, etc. So it's some sort of hybrid thing.

Tom ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Belle" <cb1963@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>Hey Tom, sonar has been 64 bit since version 5. The real nut cruncher is letting all the plug-ins catch up, especially third party ones, many of our favs just won't work in 64 bit. Especially the dxi ones. I understand my favorite synth hypersonic2 won't work in 64 bit yet. But they'll get there, but what you bet lots of good stuff especially stuff that worked for us will be orphaned.

I'm just asking because you mentioned it and I'm too lazy to look in the manual right now. Grin. Also, the thought of upgrading to Windows 7 64 bit on one of my systems is rolling around in the back of my head.

Thursday, July 17 - Kannapolis 1, Augusta 0
Kannapolis turned the tables a bit on Augusta with a ninth-inning, eventual game-winning run in the series finale. The 1-0 win avoided a sweep and prevented Augusta's return to .500.
All three games in the series were decided by runs in the eighth inning or later. All three showed decent to good pitching, but the fatigue factor in both team's bats was definitely present. Many are experiencing full-season ball for the first time, and the daily grind is showing right now. As GreenJackets hitting coach Todd Linden said, players are being evaluated for how they're handling that grind right now. It's physical and mental exhaustion they have to overcome, and those capable of handling it will start to show in the final month.
Luis Ysla:
Ysla's velo was perhaps a tick below the usual, but his fastball still sat 90-94. He got good running tail away from right-handed batters and spotted the pitch well to both sides of the plate. He showed good command of the pitch and didn't let the few runners on base affect his pace or command as much as in the past, which is good to see.
Ysla's breaking ball was inconsistent. It flashed plus with hard bite on the back foot of right-handed batters. He also left a few up and spinning by getting under the pitch. It's the result of his rotational delivery with a low arm slot. He'll get under his pitches at times, especially his breaking ball, leaving it high and spinning.
Raising his arm slot a touch might help. Regardless, the arm-heavy motion remains. It will affect his command when his arm isn't in sync with his body.
Jeremy Sy:
Sy consistently seems close to barreling the ball and rifling more gaps, but it comes in spurts more than a constant barrage. He's good for a barrel or two every other night, which has kept his power numbers at a solid clip. His Isolated Power is .191 and his wOBA is .359, both signs that he's hitting better than the triple slash indicates.
Sy shows the framework for being a three true outcomes hitter with the ability to walk and produce pop. One issue is that he's 24 years old and needs to produce that triple slash in Class-A. Regardless of the underrated numbers he's putting up, the average hasn't been there, and that hurts when it comes to evaluation.
The defense at second base hasn't been as hoped. He was a left-side defender before Tommy John surgery, and now he's learning second base. The problem is, he only gets to play the position about once or twice a week. Unavoidable circumstances have prevented more playing time in the field, but the issue remains.
Sy has a clean stroke with pop in the barrel. It plays in game, which isn't easy to find at second base. That alone should keep him going. He needs to take a step forward defensively in 2015.
Thad Lowry:
Lowry carried a no-hitter through four innings before a leadoff single in the fifth ended that chance. He was pulled after five anyway, allowing the one hit and striking out six.
Lowry's fastball was 89-93 and touched 94. He got downhill plane with some running tail from a high arm slot. The movement wasn't tremendous, but he kept the ball down and on the ground. I can see where good fastball command can limit hard contact and give him the advantage without swing-and-miss stuff.
Lowry also showed good pitchability for a 19-year-old. He said he recognized Augusta's inability to pick up his fastball, so he worked down and then up to change eye levels and get swinging strikes. It worked to near perfection for five innings.
Lowry's secondaries lagged. He showed some bite on a mid-80s breaking ball that got a few swinging strikes. When he had feel for it, the break was hard and down. It got loose and slurvy at times, and command wavered. It has above-average potential. His changeup was similar. The potential is there to be average based on a clean arm motion and separation, but it has a long way to go.
Lowry is a bit of a project. He's athletic and strong, and his delivery is clean with little effort despite the high arm slot. The arm is quick and the gas comes easy. The framework is there for a mid-rotation arm. The stuff, however, has a long way to go.
Adam Engel:
Engel was as advertised. He profiles as a future center fielder with a questionable bat and immense speed.
I clocked Engel at 4.02 to first, giving him an 8 on the run. He shot the gap in the first inning and reached third for a triple in the blink of an eye. He has elite speed. He uses that speed for plus range in center field, and his reads and routes are good enough to utilize it most of the time. His arm holds down his overall defensive profile, but he'll remain in center as a plus defender.
Engel's bat is a different matter. The White Sox made him a project based on the speed and the hope that he would learn to hit. It hasn't been a disaster in full-season ball, but he isn't hitting like an advanced college product should in Class-A. The swing is long and his hands drift. He pushes the bat to the zone and doesn't utilize any sort of extension. The upper body is very stiff.
At the same time, Engel shows some ability at the plate. The bat is quick and level, which helps him find the barrel. Despite stiff hands and a long swing at times, he gets the bat to the zone fairly quickly. He showed some pop by hitting the gaps hard a couple times in the series. He's strong and gets the most from his swing.
Engel's bat will be a question going forward. It's not a case like Billy Hamilton, who was surrounded by doubts because of the lack of power or authority in his swing. Engel has those two things. What he could face in higher levels is his ability to consistently make good contact from hands that seem to struggle finding a path. If his bat develops, he's a potential starter and leadoff hitter. If it doesn't, he could still run his way to a fourth outfielder role.
Game notes:
***Ysla lowered his ERA to 2.34, which remains second lowest in the South Atlantic League behind Greensboro's Sean Townsley and his 2.22 ERA. It was Ysla's first shutout of the season.
***Augusta's Ty Ross had his seven-game hitting streak snapped by an 0 for 4 game.
***Sy stole his 12th base of the season. He's second on the team to Cristian Paulino's 16 swipes. Chris Lofton stole two bases in the game to raise his GreenJackets total to 10.
***Lowry threw his second career shutout, the first being the five-inning no-hitter June 3. The six strikeouts set a career high.
Notable Augusta lines:
Luis Ysla: 6.2 IP, 4 H, 2 BB, 6 K, 7 ground balls, 8 fly balls, 2 line drives, 8 swinging strikes, 90-94
Tyler Horan: 1-3, BB
Notable Kannapolis lines:
Thad Lowry: 5 IP, H, 2 BB, 6 K, 6 ground balls, 2 fly balls, 2 line drives, 8 swinging strikes, 89-93, t94
Jacob Morris: 2-4
Brett Austin: 2-3, BB
Adam Engel: 1-5, 3B

JPMorgan Chase has agreed to pay $1.7bn (£1bn) to victims of the Bernard Madoff fraud following a settlement with US prosecutors.
The settlement comes after Federal prosecutors accused the bank of ignoring red flags about Madoff's crimes.
"We recognise we could have done a better job," said JPMorgan spokesman Jennifer Zuccarelli. The bank has agreed to improve its controls.
While JPMorgan acknowledged failures in its protections against money laundering, the settlement includes a so-called deferred prosecution agreement that allows it to avoid criminal charges.
No individual executives were accused of wrongdoing. JPMorgan was Madoff's primary bank in the later years of a fraud that lasted for decades.
The bank had a relationship with Madoff dating back to 1986, according to documents released by the US Attorney's office.
It ended in 2008 when Madoff revealed to the FBI that his investment advisory business was a Ponzi scheme.
According to the complaint, Madoff's account – account 703 – received deposits and transfers totalling $150bn over the period from 1986 until the fraud was discovered in 2008, almost exclusively from Madoff Securities.
JPMorgan employees began raising red flags about the account from the late 1990s up until 2008, but no action was taken to alert US regulators.
The 75-year-old Madoff pleaded guilty to the fraud and is currently serving a 150-year prison sentence in the US.
Over the past year, JPMorgan has paid close to $20bn in settlements with regulators for various violations relating to the US financial crisis, the so-called 'London whale' trading loss, and manipulating the London inter-bank offered rate, or Libor.
JPMorgan boss Jaime Dimon has taken a proactive stance in ridding the bank of various investigations into its practices over the past year.
In his annual letter to shareholders from April 2013, Mr Dimon wrote: "I feel terrible that we let our regulators down."
The bank is still facing scrutiny from US regulators over its current hiring policies in China.
Shares in JPMorgan fell slightly on news of the settlement.

Woman killed in apartment fire on northwest side of Indianapolis
A 60-year-old woman is dead after a fire at the Pangea Meadows Apartments near 34th Street and Moller Road.
Captain Rita Reith with the Indianapolis Fire Department said the woman lived in the apartment where the fire started. Her husband was inside with her, but he was able to get out. The crew from Station 30 aggressively searched through heavy flames to find the woman.
Investigators believe the fire started when the couple fell asleep with food still on the stove.
Two other people were slightly injured and nine lost their homes.
Some residents said they heard smoke alarms go off, while others said it was a knock on the door that woke them up.
One woman escaped the fire by jumping from her second story window onto a neighbor's mattress.
Firefighters arrived to find the building fully involved. They also had to deal with structural stability concerns after the fire moved from the lower level apartment to the balcony and roof line. The fire travelled quickly through the roofline to the other units.
The fire department said the unusual location of the building within the complex did not allow for crews to position themselves close to the area, forcing firefighters to haul equipment in from their trucks some distance away.
Early estimates show the fire caused $200,000 in damage.

Alden saves time with push-on, IP67-rated, RJ-45 connectors
Brockton, MA—Alden Products Co. recently launched its Pulse Net PL1300N-EN modular, IP67-rated, RJ-45 connectors, which save installation time with a push-on, auto-latching connection mechanism.
Brockton, MA— Alden Products Co. ns of positive mating.
Historically a manufacturer of cable and connectors for health care and medical applications, Alden is seeking to enable the industrial automation market to hasten adoption of Ethernet-based solutions by eliminating interconnection issues. Alden reports that its experience makes it easy for the firm's connectors to achieve IP67 performance because of its core competency in IP67, IP68 and autoclavable packaging.
In fact, the exterior of Alden's connectors can also be used to accommodate fiber-optic, coaxial, pin-and-socket, as well as RJ-45 methodologies. Also, Alden manufactures a one-piece M12 adapter that allows users to convert a screw-in M12 connection to a pin-and-socket M12 with Pulse-Lok.
Furthermore, the receptacle or back-end of Pulse-Lok connectors includes a keystone module that can be easily replaced to match a variety of cabling and connection styles, including IDC 110 punchdown, 110 coupler and PC mounting. "For instance, users can change from one category or termination style by simply changing the keystone and plugging the required component in on the other end," says Sharon Ann Thomas, Alden's product manager. "These connectors can help users meet whatever solution their networking gurus come up with next because they can use components they already have in place.
"Essentially, our product's modular design allows end-users to upgrade from one TIA/EIA category to another by simply changing the components, including the jack, plug and cable. The interconnect panel mount coupler and plug assembly kit components remain constant; thereby eliminating the need to change the device entirely. This also applies to the termination on the receptacle side. The user can select the receptacle kit and use whatever termination style they decide."

As one of St. Louis' oldest restaurants, Kemoll's is a tradition not only for the family that runs it, but for countless other local families, as well. "We have some families who have been celebrating Christmas Eve at Kemoll's for 50 years," says fourth-generation owner Mark Cusumano. "They first came in here when they were little babies, and now they're adults in their 50s, and they still celebrate here."
The staff, too, has become like family, with at least six employees who have been working at the restaurant for 30 years or longer, Cusumano notes. He himself grew up working in the restaurant alongside his siblings, and took the helm in 1980. His mother, Mary Grace Cusumano, still comes to work every day. "We've lasted for nearly 90 years by doing what Mrs. Kemoll told us to do, which is to stick to the basics: Make good food and give attention to your customers, and that's basically it," he says. "It sounds really simple, but to execute it night after night for 87 years isn't as easy as people think. There are so many people who open a restaurant because they've eaten at a number of restaurants, so they think it's easy to just hire waiters and cooks, but there's more to it than that."
Originally opened in 1927 by Mr. and Mrs. Joe Kemoll at the corner of North Grand Boulevard and Penrose Street as a candy and sandwich shop, the restaurant evolved into a gourmet eatery in the 1970s and moved to Metropolitan Square in 1990, Cusumano says. Kemoll's now occupies the 40th floor of Metropolitan Square, with its Top of the Met banquet facility on the 42nd floor. The venue, capable of hosting up to 250 guests, sits at the same height as The Gateway Arch, offering unmatched panoramic views of the riverfront and the city from the top floor of St. Louis' tallest building.
The restaurant still features many of the classic recipes passed down by Mrs. Kemoll—Cusumano recalls the cheese bread from his childhood, which is still made the same way it was 87 years ago—but also continues to keep its menu fresh with additions by executive chef Don Tadlock, who joined the team five years ago. "He's from St. Louis, and he's a really talented guy," Cusumano says. "His style is very eclectic. He's well-versed in not only Italian, but also French, and sometimes even creates Asian-inspired menu items."
And while guests at Kemoll's receive a top-tier gourmet dining experience, Cusumano also hopes they feel like they're at home. "The service is very comfortable and friendly; it's not overbearing," he says. "A lot of places come and go, but we basically do what Mrs. Kemoll did 90 years ago, and that's what people in St. Louis like. That's why we've been around longer than pretty much anybody."

Hey gents! I have been making my own bread now for a couple of years and I just can't get the loaf to taste like the bakery bread. It always tastes like it comes from the bread machine ( I don't even have one!!)
I have tried a sourdough starter and other types of yeast strains; I use bread flour; ive tried different types of fats and oils; I have hand kneaded and used my wife's kitchen aide... all to no avail. Don't get me wrong the bread tastes good. It just isn't like the bakery...I hate to name drop, but one that I think everyone knows is Panera. Although it isn't as good as what I experienced in Rome, Italy but it gives me something to work up to.
What I am looking for is a simple, basic (think old world) recipe to make a nice, soft, chewy loaf of french bread that I can cut for small sandwiches or eat by itself. Thought you guys could help me out. I am going to try to make a one this weekend. Also it is just me and my wife so we don't need a recipe that makes a bunch of bread, just a small loaf.
Views: 109
I have a recipe you might like. Its at home though I'll try to remember to get it at lunch. I have had great success with it. In fact, we had some last night that I had frozen from my last batch and it was almost as good as fresh out the oven (that is hard to replicate).
It's a McCall's recipe from 1984 I believe. The techniques I employ are these.
Use good, quality honey, not refined sugar.
Be obsessive about the water temperature when combining with the yeast
Use all-purpose flour (not bread flour) for this recipe.
just before baking, baste the loaves with a generous amount of cold water (this is what will give you a brown, hard crust yet keep the inner part of the loaf soft and chewy.
I have been making this bread with success for over 10 years now, and every holiday season I reserve one loaf for my bread pudding. I've gotten rave reviews.
I added rosemary and garlic to two of these loaves

do you have children? or do you want them in the future? what are your thoughts on adoption?
(ideally we would like to have one or two children and then adopt).
That had me laughing! I totes have baby fever. We are getting married in March (I am changing my last name) and based on the way I feel looking at that little Max you pictured, we will be making babies! haha xoxoReplyDelete
Ive been feeling the baby fever lately. I think there is like 3 woman in my family who is pregnant! I want one so bad. But for now I'm happy just playing with theirs and eventually (4 years) I'll get one :)
I want to do the same, have two and adopt one.
Lots of Love,
Oh man, that sounds like something I would say...and then realize. Yes, I changed my last name, but took my old one and made it my middle name (I've got a thing about continuing to identify with my family). Yes, we want to have kids someday, but I've spent enough of my life as a babysitter and sometimes a nanny that I know I don't want them quite yet!
Still, these babies are perfectly adorable.
Haha I love this post!! I have been feeling very maternal lately and I'm not even engaged yet {sigh}. I can relate and love this little images! Babies all the way {and a huge fan of adoption}!ReplyDelete
This is a sweet post. I love the images. Makes me want decorate another nursery...but not that quickly. Super sweet! You will be an adorable mom!ReplyDelete
That is so funny and totally something I would say as well. You probably know that I'm having a baby fever for a while now and those photos are totally melting my heart! We are planning to have a little one for sure:) Happy Tuesday, darlingReplyDelete
that's hilarious Jillian! love these baby fever collages. i definitely am coming down with a case too(:ReplyDelete
It is the hardest but most rewarding job in the universe!!!Being adopted myself as well as my husband...it's an amazing gift to give!!ReplyDelete
I've had baby fever my whole life it seems- my husband and I have two kids together and I adopted his daughter from his first marriage. I'd still love to have another eventually:)ReplyDelete
Every now and then I get baby fever and go and visit my nieces and nephew! We definitely want to have kids in the future, but we want a few more years of just us!ReplyDelete
That just made me laugh- I love it! That is my happy thought for the day! My nieces contain any baby fever here. It's great to babysit and do fun stuff with them, but then give them back to their parents. :)ReplyDelete
I have two children. My daughter is 12 years old and my son just turned 1 years old. We tried for several years after my daughter with no luck & then 12 years later, I ended up pregnant. Of course by this point we had quit trying so it was quite a shock. Right after my son was born, I still had "baby fever". I had planned on having another as soon as he was a year old but NOW that he is mobile and moving everywhere, think I want to wait a bit longer!!!!!ReplyDelete
I've totally got second baby fever! I'm making do by shopping for Meg's lil' bean. HA!ReplyDelete
LOVE these selections, Jillian! :) I have baby fever and I'm not even engaged yet. And Sydney is my FAVE preggo blogger!ReplyDelete
that's hilarious! I'm married 2 years now & had the baby fever until I realized how much fun married w/ no babies is ;)ReplyDelete
The little boy in the max costume is the cutest!! A good friend of mine had a little boy in February so I live through her. But I do want kids eventually, just in a few years. I think it's great you want to adopt!ReplyDelete
omg those cheeks! so cute. i'm changing my name too and YES babies. lots of babies. just not yet ;)ReplyDelete
Am sitting with my 6 month old now as I try to blog, eat breakfast and entertain her and the dog. Haha. It's insane, but a lot of fun. You will enjoy it when you are ready! :)
Oh goodness, I guess when I can actually afford myself then I'll think about babies.ReplyDelete
you are too cute. i love that you want to adopt too! that's so admirable! :) i personally am not ready yet for kids but i definitely want them!ReplyDelete
This is an overload of preciousness. I think I will perpetually have baby fever. My husband and I both want to take it one child at a time and always stay open to if God wants to give us another life. We have two and hope we will have a large family. Adoption would be amazing. There are wayyy too many unwanted children.
:) Can't wait till its your turn!
i'm not sure i'll ever have baby fever, but i'm pretty sure the time is drawing near. but i do love looking at all the lovely nurseries people have. and if i could have one of those, maybe having a kiddo wouldn't be so scary to me! :)ReplyDelete
Oh, I know how you feel...I can't even walk by the baby department at Target without getting a little teary. We get to wait at least four more years until Robert is out of school, but then it's on :)
I really do think that I want to adopt someday, even if we have our own biological children too. And if we can't have kids at all, we will definitely adopt.
Even if it won't be for a while, I can't wait to follow along with you and your little family! Good luck!
that had to be such a funny moment!
i definitely want kids and would be open to adopting as well : )
life spelled jen
Such a cute post! We definitely want children...maybe this year?! We'll have to see...ReplyDelete
wait, no way! I'd love to have two children and then adopt too.
I think I've had baby fever since I was a baby myself, no joke!
Hahaha love the answer you gave! That is just too funny!! I always have baby fever and still look around at baby clothes and furniture to give me ideas for when the time comes for me! There's nothing wrong with having this fever!! It's in our blood! ;) That baby at the bottom right is just gorgeous!!ReplyDelete
Aw I am Crazy with Baby Fever! :D Don't worry!
That's so funny though, I bet you will never ever live that down, and it will be brought up a lot! :D
Keep gathering ideas for Nursery's and such! You never know!
Oh my gosh! So freaking cute!!!ReplyDelete
Haha love the baby enthusiasm. You go girl! You make those babies!ReplyDelete
haha girl, you crack me up! :D
All (well most) of my friends have all started little families now. Truth be told, Luke & I are unsure if we want to have kids (we're hoping that changes with time...) I do LOVE kids, I guess we're just both afraid of all the changes that it would bring... Ok, writing that makes me sound like a total weirdo! :-/
oh my word. my baby fever is in full force. we can't have babies soon enough!! and adopt? heck yes :)ReplyDelete
So funny! I'm getting married in May and yes, changing my name. Then due to lovely residency, we will probably wait a few years to have babies (I'd love to be financially very stable first). I think we will start with a dog!! but these pictures are too cute :)ReplyDelete
Yes, I'm married (last year was the 7-year itch), and we have 2 little boys (aged 7 and 6)...if I had another, it would be by adoption. And in terms of timing for babies...no time is really the RIGHT time (seriously, I'm not trying to be pessimistic). Parenting is HARD work (changing diapers is easy-peasy compared to waking up every 2 hrs to breastfeed, trying to take toddlers grocery shopping, or putting up with 7 year-old attitudes)! But, let me tell you...in SO many other ways (that obviously outweigh the negatives), having children makes life so much more meaningful! When you have kids, it's not all about YOU anymore, every decision you make is about what is best for them. Some couples (usually the logical ones), decide to put this off until they are ready (financially/personally/etc), and therefore have more time to enjoy each other prior to family-life. Others (usually the ones that think with their hearts instead of their heads, ie. ME), choose to have 'em young. And we'll get our couple time when we're 40 (which is only like 11 years away!) Either way, you do get BOTH :)ReplyDelete
Aww that pic of the little bebe in the where the wild things are costume melts my heart :)
No kiddos yet, but def hope to have one day - about 6 months ago my maternal side started to kick in and now I also have baby fever!
I have a 2 year old boy and am due in October with our second boy :) after that, we're done. I would love to adopt but we think financially two is enough for us!
I love that Max costume! My eldest is going to be Max for halloween, since he's my wild thing :)
We have such baby fever! Just had a miscarriage so have to wait and it's killing me! Cannot wait! Two for sure and that's it! I would def adopt too!

I have baby fever and I'm not even in a relationship!! I love swooning over baby clothes and nursery ideas.ReplyDelete
I Love babies and kids, and would love to have them, but I'm old and it would take a lot of surgery, money etc. Luckily I have a cute fur baby.ReplyDelete
As if I needed help with my baby fever, this just put me over the top! Adorable! I can't wait to decorate a little one's room...someday!ReplyDelete
that little boy is adorable and i'm loving the cowboys and indians themed room, so cute!
Too funny! I simply adore little babies and all of their cute little things, but I'm with you - I'll wait till I can deal with the diapers, too!ReplyDelete
hahah! That's totally something I would say!
I have baby fever on a daily basis. Sigh. Hubs says no and I say YES!! heheReplyDelete
Awww I've been nannying this summer and it's definitely made me broody...cuddles from babies are the best! My boyfriend has it too slightly but I've told him no babies before a ring on my finger and at least one more puppy :DReplyDelete
I definitely want babies....I actually can't wait to have them. I've dreamed about it my whole life, but have to meet a man and get married first. Ha. I also would love to adopt...we will see.
Hilarious story, by the way.
Haha, love your story, I'm sure it was a little embarrassing at the time, but so funny :) Babies are so cute! Sometimes I can't wait to have them, but I've definitely got a while to go!ReplyDelete
aww love that indian themed room and the girl's nursery! i do want kids! but not for like 6-7 years. and if I can't have them.....I'd be all for adoption!ReplyDelete
This cracked me up like no one's business-too funny! I love being able to live through other people's baby fever-mine is still on the back burner!ReplyDelete
ahh... baby fever had me just a month after getting married so the hubs got me a dog... then when there was no fever i got pregnant :)ReplyDelete
Bahaha...that cracks me up! But it's okay for you to get a little excited about babies....as shown in your pictures, they are adorable!ReplyDelete
haha that story is so funny - you got it on the brain, girl! and DEAR GOD that little one on the bottom right IS. SO. CUTE.
sometimes i get the feva, but then i panic a little. maybe in the next couple of years!
what a sweet post- i LOVE that little girly yellow dress. yes i want kids- a big family too :)ReplyDelete
Just what I need: another super precious blogger to be pregnant! lol I love your little panic moment, but I'll tell you what my parents always told me: slow down and enjoy the moment. This is the last time in your life you will ever get to be *insert blank*. For you it's engaged and planning a wedding. And while it may seem stressful and the next step so much better, you will eventually miss this time. So slow down and soak it up.
bahahaha! Paul says stuff like that all the time =) He's baby crazy and he doesnt know why. I asked him yesterday and he said "well we cant just stare at eachother for the rest of our lives... we're supposed to make babies!" oh gosh. not enough convincing for me yet ;) so scared!ReplyDelete
This post is hilarious! I can imagine everyone's reaction after you say that... And ... I have a slight case of baby fever. But that is not a secret to the husband. It has never been haha.ReplyDelete
Oh I know exactly how you feel!ReplyDelete
Am I, like, the only 20something ladyblogger in existence who's never had baby fever...? Am I broken?ReplyDelete
haha, that's so funny! whoops. :) i like working with kids in therapy and i love all the cute kid things i find on etsy/craft fairs, but i really don't ever want one of my own. i could maybe {Maybe} adopt when i'm older {maybe in my 40's}, but probably not. it's one of those things that makes me a total black sheep of blogland, but there it is. :)ReplyDelete
This is hilarious, jillian!!! i love it :) One day you will have very cute babies!!! xoxoxo brynnReplyDelete
haha... crazy cakes gone baby cakes. love that story!
i had no idea sandy was expecting... but that has more to do with me being the worst blogger ever than anything else. :)
you are too cute! thanks for mentioning me!! baby fever is in full force around here :)ReplyDelete
thanks for the links to the other bloggers...my mind is full of babies these days so i'll definitely check them out!ReplyDelete

Steady Brook Falls, Newfoundland and Labrador
By Peter Bull, Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism
Steady Brook Falls is worth the hike anytime of the year, but early spring is definitely the best. Located about six kilometres east of Corner Brook and just off the Trans Canada Highway, the falls are very accessible and a great place to stretch you legs. We took the short hike to the falls on April 17th. Warm sunny days melting high country snow followed by rain brought the falls up to an impressive level the day of our hike. The falls can be seen from the Trans Canada Highway but one should really pull off at Steady Brook (Exit 8) and experience it fully. The trailhead is behind the Tim Horton's at the base of Marble Mountain and there are two viewing platforms providing excellent photo opportunities.

Plants annual or perennial; cespitose, sometimes shortly rhizomatous. Culms 10–150 cm, slender to stout, erect to decumbent, rarely prostrate. Sheaths open, rounded, glabrous, sometimes scabrous; ligules to 4 mm, membranous, glabrous; auricles sometimes present; blades flat, linear. Inflorescences distichou. Spikes, with solitary spikelets oriented radial to the rachises, perpendicular to the rachis concavities. Spikelets laterally compressed, with 2–22 florets, distal florets reduced; rachillas glabrous; disarticulation above the glumes, beneath the florets. Glumes usually 1, 2 in the terminal spikelets, lanceolate to oblong, rounded over the midvein, membranous to indurate, 3–9-veined, unawned; lower glumes absent from all but the terminal spikelet; upper glumes from shorter than to exceeding the distal florets; calluses short, blunt, glabrous; lemmas lanceolate, ovate or oblong, rounded over the midvein, membranous, chartaceous, 3–7-veined, apices sometimes hyaline, unawned or awned, awns subterminal, more or less straight; paleas membranous, usually smooth, keels ciliolate; lodicules 2, free, lanceolate to ovate; anthers 3; ovaries glabrous. Caryopses dorsally compressed, oblong, broadly elliptic or ovate, longitudinally sulcate; hila linear, in the furrow; embryos 1/5–1/3 as long as the caryopses. x = 7. Lolium, first mentioned in Virgil's Georgics, is an old Latin name for darnel, Lolium temulentum.
As interpreted here, Lolium comprises five species that are native to Europe, temperate Asia, and northern Africa. All have been introduced to the Flora region, often as forage grasses; most have become established.
Lolium used to be included in the Triticeae, but evidence from genetics, morphology, and other studies shows its closest relationship to be to the species included here in Schedonorus. Artificial hybrids have been produced among L. perenne, L. multiflorum, Schedonorus pratensis, and S. arundinaceus. Cultivars of these crosses have been registered for commercial use and are sometimes used for forage. Natural hybrids are not uncommon in Europe.

1. Lolium perenne L.
Perennial Ryegrass, English Ryegrass, Ivraie Vivace, Ray-Grass Anglais
Plants long-lived perennials. Culms to 100 cm. Leaves folded in the bud; blades usually 10–30 cm long, (1)2–4(6) mm wide. Spikes 3–30 cm, with 5–37 spikelets; rachises 0.5–2.5 mm thick at the nodes, often flexuous. Spikelets 5–22 mm long, 1–7 mm wide, with (2)5–9(10) florets. Glumes 3.5–15 mm, (1/3)1/2–3/4 as long as to slightly exceeding the distal florets, membranous to indurate; lemmas 3.5–9 mm long, 0.8–2 mm wide, unawned or awned, awns to about 8 mm, attached 0.2–0.7 mm below the apices; paleas shorter than to slightly longer than the lemmas; anthers 2–4.2 mm. Caryopses 3–5.5 mm long, 0.7–1.5 mm wide, 3 or more times longer than wide. 2n = 14.
Lolium perenne, a Eurasian species, is now established in disturbed areas throughout much of the Flora region. It is commercially important, being included in lawn seed mixtures as well as being used for forage and erosion prevention.
Lolium perenne intergrades and is interfertile with L. multiflorum; it also intergrades with L. rigidum. Typical L. perenne differs from L. multiflorum in being a shorter, longer-lived perennial with narrower leaves that are folded, rather than rolled, in the bud. Hybrids between the two species are called Lolium ×hybridum Hausskn.
2. Lolium multiflorum Lam.
Annual Ryegrass, Italian Ryegrass, Ivraie Multiflore, Ray-Grass d'Italie
Plants annuals or short-lived perennials. Culms to 150 cm. Leaves rolled in the bud; blades usually 10–30 cm long, (2)3–8 (13) mm wide. Spikes 15–45 cm, with 5–38 spikelets; rachises 0.8–2 mm thick at the nodes, not flexuous. Spikelets 8–31 mm long, 2–10 mm wide, with (10)11–22 florets. Glumes 5–18 mm, 1/4–1/2 as long as the florets, membranous to indurate; lemmas 4–8.2 mm long, 1–2 mm wide, usually awned, awns to 15 mm, attached 0.2–0.7 mm below the apices, rarely unawned; paleas shorter than to slightly longer than the lemmas; anthers (2.5)3–4.5(5) mm. Caryopses 2.5–4 mm long, 0.7–1.5 mm wide, 3 or more times longer than wide. 2n = 14.
Lolium multiflorum, a European species, now grows in most of the Flora region. It is planted as a cover crop, as a temporary lawn grass, for roadside restoration, and for soil or forage enrichment; it often escapes from cultivation, becoming established in disturbed sites.
Lolium multiflorum and L. perenne are interfertile and intergrade. Lolium multiflorum differs from L. perenne in being a taller, shorter-lived perennial or annual with wider leaves that are rolled, rather than folded, in the bud. Hybrids between the two species are called Lolium ×hybridum Hausskn. Lolium multiflorum also hybridizes with L. rigidum; those hybrids are called Lolium ×hubbardii Jansen & Wacht. ex B.K. Simon.
3. Lolium rigidum Gaudin
Stiff Ryegrass
Plants annual. Culms to 70 cm. Blades to 17 cm long, 0.5–5(8) mm wide. Spikes 3–30 cm, with 2–20 spikelets; rachises 0.5–3.5 mm thick at the nodes, with the spikelets somewhat sunken in the rachises and partly con-cealed by the glumes. Spikelets 5–18 mm long, 1–3(7) mm wide, with 2–8(11) florets. Glumes 4–20(30) mm, usually from 3/4 as long as to slightly exceeding the distal florets, rather indurate; lemmas 3–8.5(10.5) mm long, 0.9–2 mm wide; paleas slightly shorter than to slightly longer than the lemmas, usually unawned, sometimes awned, awns to 10 mm; anthers 1.2–3.2 mm. Caryopses 2.7–5.5 mm long, 1–1.5 mm wide, 3 or more times longer than wide. 2n = 14.
Lolium rigidum is native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia. It has been found as a weed of roadsides and waste places at scattered locations in the contiguous United States and Canada.
Lolium rigidum intergrades with L. perenne, L. multiflorum, and, occasionally, L. temulentum. Hybrids with L. multiflorum are called Lolium ×hubbardii Jansen & Wacht. ex B.K. Simon.
4. Lolium temulentum L.
Plants annual. Culms to 120 cm. Blades to 27 cm long, 1–12 mm wide. Spikes 2–40 cm, with 3–26 spikelets; rachises 0.5–3.5 mm thick at the nodes, spikelets not sunken in the rachises, not concealed by the glumes. Spikelets 5–28 mm long, 1–8 mm wide, with 2–10 florets. Glumes 5–28 mm, membranous to indurate; lemmas 3.5–8.5 mm long, 1.2–3 mm wide, unawned or awned, awns to 23 mm, attached 0.2–2 mm below the apices; paleas 1.2 mm shorter than to 0.8 mm longer than the lemmas, often wrinkled; anthers 1.5–4 mm. Caryopses 3.2–7 mm long, 1–3 mm wide, 2–3 times longer than wide, turgid. 2n = 14.
Lolium temulentum is said to be the tares of the Bible. Its two subspecies differ mainly in quantitative characters.
1. Lemmas 3.5–5.5 mm long, 1.2–1.8 mm wide; glumes 5–16 mm long; caryopses 3.2–4.5 mm long, 1.2–1.8 mm wide; rachises slender ... subsp. remotum
1. Lemmas 4.5–8.5 mm long, 1.5–3 mm wide; glumes (5.5)7–28 mm long; caryopses (3.8)4–7 mm long, (1)1.5–3 mm wide; rachises rather stout ... subsp. temulentum
Lolium temulentum subsp. remotum (Schrank) Á. Löve & D. Löve
Flax Darnel, Ivraie du Lin
Blades 1–6.5 mm wide. Spikes 2–23 cm, with 3–20 spikelets; rachises slender. Spikelets 5–16 mm long, 1–5 mm wide. Glumes 5–16 mm, (1/2)2/3 as long as to somewhat exceeding the distal florets; lemmas 3.5–5.5 mm long, 1.2–1.8 mm wide, usually unawned, rarely awned, awns to 10 mm, attached 0.2–1 mm below the apices. Caryopses 3.2–4.5 mm long, 1.2–1.8 mm wide.
Lolium temulentum subsp. remotum is native to Europe, Asia, and northern Africa. It originated as a weed in flax fields, through unintentional selection for seeds that could not be separated from flax seed using early harvesting techniques. It is a rare weed in the Flora region, being reported only from southern Ontario and California, where it grows in waste places and fields.
Lolium temulentum L. subsp. temulentum L.
Darnel, Ivraie Enivrante
Blades (1.5)3–10(12) mm wide. Spikes 5–40 cm, with 5–26 spikelets; rachises rather stout. Spikelets 8–28 mm long, 3–8 mm wide. Glumes (5.5)7–28 mm, from 3/4 as long as to longer than the florets, somewhat indurate; lemmas 4.5–8.5 mm long, 1.5–3 mm wide, unawned or awned, awns to 23 mm, attached 0.5–2 mm below the apices. Caryopses (3.8)4–7 mm long, (1)1.5–3 mm wide.
Lolium temulentum subsp. temulentum is found occasionally in disturbed sites throughout much of the Flora region. It is native to the Eastern Hemisphere, where it is known only as a weed, especially of grain fields. Awn presence or absence and length vary, and have no taxonomic significance.
The seeds sometimes become infected with an endophytic fungus, assumed to be the source of the toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids loline, 6-methyl loline, and lolinine, but not temuline, which is now considered an artifact of isolation (Dannhardt and Steindl 1985). Because primitive agricultural practices could not separate seeds of Lolium temulentum from those of wheat, infected seeds often resulted in poisonous flour.
5. Lolium persicum Boiss. & Hohen.
Persian Darnel
Plants annual. Culms 14–45(60) cm. Blades 3.5–20 cm long, 1.5–7 mm wide. Spikes 3–21 cm, with 3–12 spikelets; rachises 0.5–2 mm thick at the nodes, often flexuous, spikelets not sunken in the rachises, not concealed by the glumes. Spikelets 9–27 mm long, 1.5–7 mm wide, with 4–9 florets. Glumes (4.7)7.5–23 mm, from 2/3 as long as to equaling the distal florets, somewhat indurate; lemmas (5.2)7–12 mm long, 1.5–2.7 mm wide, awns (1.5)5–18 mm, attached 0.2–1 mm below the apices; paleas usually 0.5–1.8 mm longer than the lemmas; anthers 1.5–3 mm. Caryopses 4.8–7 mm long, 1.2–2 mm wide, 3.7–5 times longer than wide. 2n = 14.
Lolium persicum, a native of southwest Asia, has been found as a weed in grain fields and waste places in southern Canada, Montana, North Dakota, and Wyoming and, as an adventive, in New York and Missouri. It is now one of the top ten weeds of western Canadian cereal crops. It first became established in North America in Cavalier County, North Dakota, prior to 1910 (Dore 1950).

Chiquis to Jenni Rivera at funeral: "Now you know, for SURE, how much I truly love you" (VIDEO)
It's so hard to say good-bye to a mother! It must be even more difficult when there were unresolved issues, like what Janney "Chiquis" Marin is going through right now with the passing of her mother, Diva de la Banda Jenni Rivera. That's why I was so struck by the words the young enterpreneur and daughter to the singer said during the public memorial service that the family organized to say goodbye to their beloved Jenni in Los Angeles.
"Mom, I know you are here with me. I miss you so much…Now you know, FOR SURE, how much I truly love you," Chiquis said fighting back tears.
Jenni and her daughter had been fighting for months in a very public, very painful dispute for reasons that were never really clear to the public, but were rumored to center around Chiquis' reported romantic ties to Jenni's soon-to-be ex-husband at the time of her death, Esteban Loaiza (their divorce papers had not been finalized yet, but had been submitted by the singer a few days after their second anniversary in October).
"There isn't--and never will be--enough words to say good-bye to my mother," said Chiquis when she began speaking at the Diva de la Banda's memorial. But she recalled one conversation with her mom where Jenni asked her what word she'd use to describe her, and her daughter answered, "Unbreakable... and, as my mom would say: 'Es neta' (a Mexican slang that means 'That's true')."

Her words showed a well-raised woman, at peace with her conscience and with a deep love for her mom. "I'm proud of being the product of the strongest woman I've ever known," she said.
People nearest to the family have always said that Jenni was an amazing mother to all her five children, but that she was particularly protective of Chiquis, who was sexually abused as a child by her own father, Jose Trinidad Marin. Jenni brought him to justice and didn't rest until she saw him behind bars--she even testified against him at his trial, where he was sentenced to 30 years in jail.
As the oldest, 27-year-old Chiquis, was the one who lived through the most intense and hard times for her mom, during which they had to rely on food stamps for food. Jenni had Chiquis when she was only 16 years old and their relationship was really tight.
We hope with all our hearts that they were able to talk and fix their problems before Jenni's untimely death, although by Chiquis' words, it seems that her conscience was completely at peace.
Our condolences go out to the entire Rivera clan.

The closest that the Feeling get to a manifesto is singer Dan Gillespie Sells's declaration that we should 'embrace the cheese'. Never mind the cheese: it's the alcohol that two carriages of pie-eyed Eurostar passengers are bear-hugging. We're coming back from Paris astride a speeding champagne bottle with the cork popped and our mouths agape to catch every last dribble of bubbly nectar. We've been to the mellifluous soft rockers' album launch party. 'I thought it was just going to be a few retailers,' says an Australian from Woolworths, agog at the 120-strong coterie of journalists, radio pluggers, and record company staff.
With the Feeling's debut album Twelve Stops and Home expected to be one of the year's biggest sellers, the band's record company, Universal Island, is in a celebratory mood. As one chirpy adventurer says, if one of the world's biggest record companies can't throw a party when the occasion demands it, then what's the point? Experienced hands mutter in agreement, mentally flashing back to halcyon days when the industry wiped its bum with 50-quid notes and sneaked eye-popping narcotics bills past accounts as flowers.
So here we are. The band took their name from an actual bar in Paris, but 'le Feeling' only has space for three Frenchmen and a cloud of Gauloise smoke. So we're at a rustic restaurant in the north of the capital, decorated with Feeling-themed tablecloths, napkins and flowers. The generous hospitality taps into our magpie instincts. The model Feeling buses on the tables are swiped without a sideways glance. As we leave, people are nicking the tablecloths. 'I'm from commercial radio,' says one bloke. 'I like shiny things.'
Remarkably, it's Gillespie Sells and his bandmates who behave the most gracefully. 'I feel like I'm doing a wedding gig, like in the old days,' says the chisel-cheeked frontman after we have wobbled our way into a darkened basement to see their set.
With neatly creased trousers and haircuts that your granny would like, the Sussex/London combo look like nice boys. But they're surely in cahoots with the devil: their tunes are deceptively simple and more addictive than trashy telly. An accomplished frontman, Gillespie Sells proves that a high-drama guitar solo can be enjoyed without donning a silver catsuit and waving a phallus in your face.
Inevitably, their MOR tunesmithery will pack stadiums. Here, tracks like recent single 'Sewn' and 'Never Be Lonely' are unapologetically gossamer-light and sublimely realised. And despite having an album full of potential singles, there's already a new track, the resounding 'Join With Us', which is so life-affirming that the band can't help but beam uncontrollably.
Their immaculately crafted, sweet-and-sour songs make you listen with your ears open and your cynical mouth zipped shut. Which is more than can be said for the gossipy train ride home: pure malicious good fun.

$2,750 for Complete Invisalign Treatment ($5,500 Value)
Invisalign straightens teeth with a series of clear, removable, custom aligners. The process begins at the dentist's office, where, during an initial exam, the doctor snaps x-rays and takes impressions of the upper and lower teeth. In the Invisalign lab, technicians craft a set of up to 48 transparent aligners made to the patient's exact specifications. Patients wear the removable aligners for a period of months, changing the aligners as needed and only removing them while eating, brushing, or modeling a finely clenched jaw.
Throughout the treatment, patients return to the dentist's office for routine checkups to ensure teeth continue to shift into their proper places. Read the Invisalign FAQs here.
Atlantic Family Dental
Flat screen televisions, an elegant fountain, and cushioned chairs: this décor doesn't grace an exclusive spa, but rather the welcoming confines of Atlantic Family Dental's Raleigh and Garner offices. In each, a trio of compassionate dentists performs pediatric, cosmetic, and restorative procedures ranging from placing dental implants to performing annual cleanings and tooth pageants. No matter what the treatment, the staff puts patient care first, offering four kinds of sedation dentistry to alleviate apprehension and communicating in English and Spanish to better serve clients.

text: Hello, I managed to get Torque to work (with Maui scheduler). However, I'm experiencing some problems when trying to get Torque work with openmpi. On my server (torque server, maui) I installed openmpi with --with-tm option. Everything went smooth. My question is if I need to compile openmpi on my nodes with this option. I tried it, but got errors saying that no tm was found (or so). Of course, the installations on server and nodes differ, as I only installed mom on nodes. When I then try to run an mpi job, it runs only locally. When I do this: mpirun -np 2 -hostlist my_list my_app I get an error, that on machines there is no my_app there. It looks like it is not copied over to other machines. O don't have NFS, but I use password-less ssh. I hope you can understand what I mean from this trash mail. Thank you for any help.
