This was my Easter 2012 meal. This was the meal where I got back into grilling and smoking after my long lull. But I've got to tell you: When the day dawned, I really had no interest in grilling or smoking anything. But I wanted my family to have a nice Easter dinner so I reluctantly dragged my butt out to the grill & CG. My work outside consisted of a grilled leg of lamb from the KCBS Cookbook called Tabb's Grilled Marinated Lamb and I finally got around to trying some twice smoked potatoes. For the potatoes filling I used a the filling recipe from Weber's Big Book of Grilling for Twice Baked Potatoes. I smoked the potatoes as I usually do, but pulled them 30 minutes before they were done to halve and add the filling. Then they returned to the smoker to finish cooking the toppings.
The meal was very successful. But even after I had it under my belt I still had no interest in grilling. This was very strange and rather upsetting too. When my mother asked me what I was thinking of grilling next weekend, I raised my eyebrow and gave her a "What are you kidding me?" look. As the next weekend approached and the weather was supposed to be quite warm, I started thinking: "Gee it might be fun to make a paella at that". This would be the first time that the weather would be warm enough to use the grill with the lid open the for a lot of the time, like you must do with the paella. The thought of a grilled paella, after many months without, is what reignited my passion for grilling. I will also post those paella pictures, but for now enjoy the Easter dinner pictures below. I will let the captions do the description.
The meat was a 7 pound leg of lamb, which I had the butcher trim of fat and butterfly for me. This way on Easter it was ready for me to go. The lamb went into the marinade the night before and was refrigerated overnight
The marinade, which later got repurposed and used as a finishing sauce, had a lot of tasty ingredients in it: White wine, soy sauce, extra virgin olive oil, cumin, ginger, marjoram, sage, savory, thyme, garlic, lemon rind and lemon juice, crushed garlic, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
The finished marinade
The leg of lamb was sealed in a large FoodSaver bag which was sealed but not vacuumed. The lamb was placed in the refrigerator overnight.
On Easter Sunday the first item of business was to start the baked potatoes. The Russet potatoes were coated with extra-virgin olive oil and seasoned with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. They were then placed on the Steven Raichlen baked potato stand.
The potatoes are on the stand and are ready to go out the smoker which is been preheated to 250°F. The spikes in the stand help hold the potatoes and also help them cook a little faster.
On this day the temperatures were in the high 40s, which was doable but the winds were gusting into the high 20 mile-per-hour range. It was time to break out the welder's blanket to help protect the CG from the winds. Just like the first time I use the blanket, the temperatures held rocksteady. I only had a + or -5° variation during the entire cook.
After an overnight stay in the fridge, the lamb came out about an hour before going on the smoker.
The lamb is out of the FoodSaver bag. The marinade gets reserved and boiled for three minutes. It is then kept warm and will later be used as a finishing sauce for the meat.
The potatoes have been smoking for 2 1/2 hours now and it is time to gather the ingredients to put together the filling for the twice baked potatoes. The filling was made from whole milk, sour cream, Dijon mustard, diced ham, Gruyere cheese, kosher salt and black pepper.
At the 2 1/2 hour mark, the potatoes were almost done so it was time to pull them off the CG, cut them in half and add the filling.
The potatoes have been pulled off the potato rack and have been placed on a wire grilling rack. They've been cut in half and have been scooped out with a melon baller to within 1/4 inch of the skin. They are now ready to receive the filling.
The potatoes have been stuffed and it's time to put them back out on the CG.
A close-up of the stuffed potato.
Meanwhile the grill has been fired up and has been set for medium-high direct heat. The lamb gets direct grilled the entire time, which is a bit unusual, but since the recipe author was from Australia I figured he knew he was doing.
The recipe call for the lamb to be grilled 260°, which seemed a little high to me. I usually grill lamb to around 140°. So I split the difference and took it to 150° I use remote read temperature probes to get accurate readings during the cook. I also double checked with an instant read thermometer after 45 minutes when the remote read thermometer said the meat was done.
150° was actually a good temperature. When I cut into the meat after a five-minute rest, I found I had both rare, medium and well-done sections of the meat depending on the thickness of the leg of lamb at that point.
The lamb gets served with some mint jelly.
The lamb was served on a bed of fresh mint leaves. It was covered with the reserved marinade which was now serving as a finishing sauce.
After 30 minutes on the CG, the twice smoked potatoes came straight off the smoker and onto a serving platter.
Some crusty rolls and my mothers green beans and bacon finish off this day's bill of fare.
A close-up of the lamb platter.
Time to eat
Once again, the meal consisted of the grilled rack of lamb, twice smoked potatoes, green beans and bacon, mint jelly and crusty rolls. Everyone said it was one of my best Easter dinners.
Everyone loved the twice smoked potatoes. I don't know what took me so long to get around to doing them.
The lamb was excellent, with great flavor from the sauce/marinade and nicely charred outer crust. The mint jelly made things even better. Even my father, who is not a lamb lover, loved this lamb. He even took seconds, and he said he would've had more but he was too full.

Did you know?
Two of the three premier cycling events in South Africa are run in the country's two biggest cities: Johannesburg and Cape Town. The third, the Absa Cape Epic, also begins in Cape Town and soon becomes a glorious ramble through the Western Cape province.
This is cycle-mad South Africa where, on any given Sunday, you encounter packs of riders in the city streets or out in the country, indulging their passion for two wheels and a tailwind. The fact that the weather is mostly glorious is a bonus, but you'll find them out peddling in all conditions.
The Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour is a 109-kilometre rush through Cape Town and environs, as most of the Mother City's residents turn out to watch 35 000-odd cycling enthusiasts go by in a glorious multi-coloured light-weight lycra wave. First sponsored by one of the local newspapers, this is the world's largest individually-timed cycle race.
The Momentum 94.7 Cycle Challenge is pure Johannesburg, or 'Joburg', as the locals call it. Backed by a local radio station, the buzz begins weeks before the event and everyone is welcome to join in. Just watch out for the 'pros' who will be taking it all a lot more seriously than the rest of the pack.
The Absa Cape Epic is growing in stature every year, mainly because it's tough and beautiful. It's a cycling marathon that is building legends with each event, as people from more than 40 countries come streaming in to challenge the climbs, contours and sprints that make up this great race.
The advantage to South African cycling races is you've got all the natural wilderness and road quality needed, matched with a growing cycling culture that goes far beyond a Sunday afternoon spin in the park.

Wiltshire Council has scaled back its plans to axe all the county's mini-recycling centres, with 14 town centre sites now set to remain.
In March the council announced plans to close 126 centres across Wiltshire in a bid to save £100,000, saying kerbside recycling meant they were no longer required.
However, following a public consultation, it has now been revealed 14 of the larger sites will stay in a 12-month trial.
A statement sent out to councillors said: "Some residents continue to combine trips to local supermarkets and town centres (where many of these larger sites are located) with bringing excess recycling to these sites.
"These sites typically use larger 'skip-type' containers and are serviced by different vehicles to smaller sites which use wheeled bin containers. That vehicle will be decommissioned now that the smaller sites have been removed and will provide contract savings."
Remaining sites are mostly in supermarket car parks and will continue to accept glass, cans and paper.
The remaining sites include:
- Sainsbury's, Bradford on Avon, Melksham and Chippenham;
- The Pippin car park, Calne;
- Morrisons, Chippenham and Devizes;
- Car park, Corsham;
- Borough Fields, Royal Wootton Bassett;
- Station Yard, Malmsbury.

Thursday, November 8, 2012
P. Buckley Moss, known for her paintings of Iowa, will be at The Finishing Touch Gallery from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 10, to meet collectors and sign her works.
Moss will be releasing a new painting titled "Bouquets of Love" that features The Prairie Pedlar Gardens in Odebolt.
In an interview with the Daily Times Herald, Moss described her painting as wonderful, bright and happy.
"It's the Prairie Pedlar Garden, and it makes you feel good," Moss said.
The painting is of a barn, gazebo and garden shed on the Prairie Pedlar property.
"I think it's great," said Susan Rix, owner of The Finishing Touch Gallery.
She said she's know Moss for 26 years, and this is the first time she was able to be actively involved in a print.
Rix said she was able to see the print during its initial sketch and every step between until it was ready to print.
The painting was done in the spring so the garden's flowers and trees add color to the picture. Moss said one reason she's attracted to Iowa is because of the old buildings.
"I like the way they don't just tear everything down in Iowa," Moss said. "It's so nice to see the beautiful old buildings and land and the equipment that has been taken care of."
Though Moss usually can be found in one of her two homes in Virginia, she can also claim to be an Iowan.
In 2009 Gov. Chet Culver proclaimed Moss an Honorary Iowan in recognition of her work.
"Everyone thinks I'm from Iowa," Moss said. "I have more friends in Iowa than anywhere else."
She said she keeps coming back to Iowa because she admires Iowans' good values.
"I've lived in New York, Washington, D.C., and Florida. I have a house in Italy," Moss said. "But I keep going back to Iowa."
She said she has a lot of friends in Iowa who she enjoys traveling with.
"Everywhere I go and everywhere I show, everyone says you have to see this and you have to see that," Moss said.
She said she also appreciates how hard Iowans work.
"I never hear anyone complaining about their work," Moss said. "This life of ours goes by very quickly, and you must find something you love and work in that."
She said Iowans seem to be able to do just that.
In addition to her artistry, Moss is also known for her charity work.
The P. Buckley Moss Foundation for children's education was founded in 1995 and has grown to 15,000 members.
The foundation provides innovative methods to use arts in teaching.
Moss has also worked in Africa, Tanzania, Kenya and Panama.
She helped get computers to schools in Panama, but Moss said it was a challenge because they have to be guarded.
She said they'll disappear pretty fast in the rain forest.
Moss has visited Carroll several times before. During past visits she has painted with elementary-school students and held meet-and-greets.
Rix said Moss' paintings always do quite well in Carroll.
She said the paintings have changed from mostly pictures of the Amish to more landscapes.
Rix said Moss has also done printings of the old library in Carroll, the Stone Pier in Lake View and the German Hausbarn in Manning.

Geelong captain Joel Selwood says he is prepared to change the way he plays if it helps protect him from injury, and would even consider wearing a helmet.
But he has taken exception to suggestions he is particularly at risk of long-term brain damage because of his style of play.
He said his mother had contacted him to check he was okay after former Carlton champion Greg Williams, who is suffering from memory loss and mood swings possibly because of head trauma during his career, said Selwood could be at risk because of his courageous head-over-the-ball style.
"I will change if it will protect me more," he told Channel Nine's Footy Classified. "If the doctors tell me to wear a helmet I'll do it."
Selwood says he has been concussed twice in his six-year career and both times had the week off.
He says players are far better protected by the medical protocols of their clubs than they were in Williams' era, when players "would get concussed and then have ten beers".
Selwood says his own situation should not be compared to that of Williams, and even expressed concern that if he was perceived that way, possible future employers may be put off offering him a job.
But he admitted concussion was a serious issue in the game and said he was happy with the way the AFL was dealing with it.
"It's scary what's happened to some people," he said.
Selwood also admitted he had spoken to teammate Steve Johnson about getting suspended for round one, saying the club was "sick" about it.
"We told him it's not good enough," he said.

"Be kind ….. for everyone is fighting a hard battle."
~ Plato
I know we've had this quote before, but today it seemed fitting. It reminds me of one of the defining features of David fans, a feature that in my opinion, other than the love of the music and respect and appreciation for the artist, sets us apart.
* * * * *
Musings on BEGIN.
Hmm…this got me thinking. I always thought there was something to the title of the songs, that BEGIN was an acronym for some of the song titles. I mean, there are a BUNCH of B song titles (Broken, Bridge over Troubled Waters, Beautiful, Be Still My Soul), and an E song title (Everybody Hurts). But it ends there! So much for that idea. And I thought that the period at the end was more of a statement. As in…. Begin! Period! aka Enough said!
Well, I was wrong lol. Looks like David was looking for the right VISUAL here, not necessarily the message. The message was in the CD title, not necessarily in how it was wirtten out.
As tweeted by David/Kari later yesterday…
I loved seeing this!
In looking at the options, I probably would have picked it that way, visually more dramatic and the practical part of me says its easier to write out/transcribe when its quoted somewhere. Like on FOD several times in each post haha!
Thanks for the insight Kari! Much appreciated ….

Will David Archuleta Be As Famous When He Returns From His Mission?
Hmm… I think this piece from Disney Dreaming misses the reason and point for the absence. Nevertheless, I'm posting this here for a nice mention of Kari and all the dedicated fans, like you! And just so you know how this writer feels about this, fame without substance is pointless. It isn't sustainable. And it certainly isn't David. But you all knew that 🙂
There is a little poll at the end of the article. Head over there should you feel the need to weigh in 🙂 Or not.
David Archuleta left earlier this year on a two year Mission, so there's still a while left before he returns home. David has a great manager who contacts his fans for him while he is gone and shares updates along the way, but we can't help but wonder if David will be as famous when he returns.
David has his group of fans who will never leave his side, but as for the rest of the world, will they still remember David when he returns after a two year break from the entertainment industry? Only time will tell.

Thanks so much to the amazing Karin (@zerogravity1) for putting smiles on faces in Atlanta hospitals. Twenty gift baskets in 2 years? That's is Rock Star status, Karin! Thanks to all the generous fans for their contributions to this great cause.
Read Karin's message below:
Hi All,
Well, Fall is upon us and it's time once again to drop off one of our amazing Baskets of Hope to the children at The Children's Healthcare of Atlanta! This is our 20th basket in the 2 years we've been spreading the gift of smiles and David's inspirational music to those that need it most. Pretty soon we will be heading into year 3 and still going strong! I thank you so much for all of your continued support and dedication to Baskets of Hope. It's a beautiful thing knowing that many children will be inspired through David's spirit just as we have all been.
Next basket will be Holiday 2012!

Hurricanes are often seen as heralds of global warming, which makes sense. They're fueled by warm seawater, and the warming of Earth's oceans coincides with a recent spike in hurricane activity. Plus, scientists have grown increasingly confident that global warming — caused by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, including those emitted by human activities — raises the risk of severe weather.
But has global warming already started affecting hurricane intensity? Can the planet's climbing temperatures help explain monster storms like Hurricane Katrina? Those are tricky questions, but the world's top climate experts are hard at work trying to answer them. One of those experts is Thomas R. Knutson, a research meteorologist with the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) who studies Atlantic hurricane activity and the impacts of greenhouse gas-induced warming.
"It's premature to conclude there is a significant long-term trend present," Knutson tells MNN, although he adds that's simply due to a lack of long-term data. "Our most reliable intensity records go back to 1980 or so, but things are a little trickier if you try to figure out if intensities were greater in the 1950s versus recently, or if there's a rise over time. That's more difficult to answer because of limitations in the data sets."
That said, Knutson and many of his colleagues expect global warming to eventually boost hurricane intensity, based on their knowledge of how hurricanes work as well as the forecasts of advanced computer models. Thanks to those models, scientists can simulate storms under past, present and future conditions, helping them recreate the recent uptick in storms and project what might happen next.
"These models are indicating, at least the higher-resolution models, a greater intensity of hurricanes in the warmer climate, even though some models have fewer hurricanes overall," Knutson says. "So the picture that's emerging is fewer tropical storms and hurricanes globally, but the ones we have would be a little more intense than the ones we have today, and the rainfall amounts would also be greater."
One measure of hurricane intensity is the power dissipation index (PDI), developed by MIT atmospheric scientist Kerry Emanuel to measure how much power a cyclone releases during its life span. Below is a time series, produced by Emanuel, that shows tropical Atlantic sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) each September compared with the annual PDI of hurricanes. (Note: The yearly data are smoothed to emphasize fluctuations on time scales of at least three years.)

The graph shows a strong correlation between SSTs and how much power a hurricane releases, and also reveals that the overall PDI of Atlantic storms has doubled since the 1970s. But it's worth noting this isn't due to rising SSTs alone, Knutson says. That's because other natural and manmade factors are also at work — namely the multidecadal variation in Atlantic hurricane intensity, some of which may be due to a different kind of anthropogenic emissions: aerosols.
"It's possible that aerosols over the Atlantic have caused some changes in hurricane activity over time, and I'm thinking specifically of the relative lull in activity in the 1970s and '80s," Knutson tells MNN. "That's an example of a possible anthropogenic effect on hurricane climate activity, but not strictly a long-term trend like you'd expect from the effect of greenhouse gases. There are some preliminary indications that aerosol forcing may have caused at least part of that temporary reduction."
That leads some skeptics to argue the past decade's hurricane flurry is only a rebound from this lull, but Knutson says there's increasing evidence it's not that simple. And while it would be premature to blame observed PDI increases entirely on manmade climate change, the latter is still widely forecast to affect the former at some point this century, even if its influence isn't clearly detectable in the data for several decades.
"There are better than even odds that anthropogenic warming over the next century will lead to an increase in the numbers of very intense hurricanes in some basins," according to a NOAA overview written by Knutson, who adds this "would be substantially larger in percentage terms than the 2-11% increase in the average storm intensity." These two graphs project this through 2100, with the first modeling hurricane activity based on local tropical Atlantic SST, and the second modeling it based on tropical Atlantic SST relative to average SST from the rest of the tropics:
Image: NOAA GFDL
There may be fewer tropical storms overall in coming decades, but one high-res model predicts "a doubling of the frequency of very intense hurricanes in the Atlantic basin by the end of the 21st century," according to NOAA. Used in a 2010 study Knutson co-authored, this model not only foresees twice as many category 4s and 5s in 90 years, but also tells researchers "the effect of increasing category 4-5 storms outweighs the reduction in overall hurricane numbers such that we project (very roughly) a 30% increase in potential damage in the Atlantic basin by 2100."
Much of this damage would be wrought by wind, since category 4s and 5s are defined by wind speeds of at least 130 mph. Storm surges are another threat, and Knutson says warming could amplify these regardless of its effect on cyclones themselves.
"Even if hurricane activity overall were to remain unchanged in the coming century, I would still expect an increase in the risk of coastal flooding from storm surges just owing to the sea-level rise, because the hurricanes would occur on a higher baseline sea level." And compared with hurricane activity, he adds, "there is relatively more confidence in attributing past sea-level rise at least in part to human influence, and higher confidence that sea-level rise will continue in the coming century."
Aside from wind and seawater, scientists also point to another peril that many people overlook: freshwater floods from heavy rain. As seen with recent U.S. hurricanes like Irene in 2011 and Isaac in 2012, rain is sometimes the deadliest part of a tropical storm. And as oceans heat up, that risk is likely to rise, too. "Anthropogenic warming by the end of the 21st century will likely cause hurricanes to have substantially higher rainfall rates than present-day hurricanes," Knutson says, noting that models project a 20 percent average spike in rainfall within 60 miles of a storm's center.
To illustrate how warmer seawater might affect the frequency of category 4 and 5 hurricanes, the graphic below models their behavior under two scenarios: the current climate and a warmer climate in the late 21st century. It's virtually impossible to accurately predict hurricane tracks even a few days in advance, but this graph offers a general idea of how things could change over time:
Image: NOAA GFDL
Despite a general agreement that warmer seas will yield more intense cyclones, there is still widespread caution not only in blaming climate change for individual storms, but also in blaming it for any tropical cyclone activity to date.
"[W]e estimate that detection of this projected anthropogenic influence on hurricanes should not be expected for a number of decades," Knutson writes. "While there is a large rising trend since the mid-1940s in category 4-5 numbers in the Atlantic, our view is that these data are not reliable for trend calculations until they have been further assessed for data homogeneity problems, such as those due to changing observing practices."
Nonetheless, this caution shouldn't necessarily be seen as doubt. Some skeptics conflate the recent drop in U.S. landfalls with an overall drop in high-intensity hurricanes, for example, ignoring storms that hit other countries or remain at sea. Others point to a single year like 2012, which had relatively few major hurricanes, and argue it proves such storms are becoming rare. But scientists note that seasonal twists like wind shear or dry air can temporarily suppress long-term trends, making it unwise to tout any individual storm or season as proof of something broader.
We may have to wait decades to learn precisely how global warming affects hurricanes, but Knutson also warns against confusing this uncertainty with a lack of consensus about warming itself.
"The relatively conservative confidence levels attached to [hurricane] projections, and the lack of a claim of detectable anthropogenic influence at this time, contrasts with the situation for other climate metrics such as global mean temperature," he writes, adding that international research "presents a strong body of scientific evidence that most of the global warming observed over the past half century is very likely due to human-caused greenhouse gas emissions."

Topic: Passed Away
My mother inlaw, Joan, passed away June 29. She was diagnosed in Feb 2013while vacationing in Florida. At that time she was also made aware of having PSC. She went for a consult in March 2013 at Mayo and was told it was inoperable. She did chemo of gem/Cis and then external radiation. In May 2014, she began to have fluid on her abdomen which tested positive for adenocarcinoma. At this point she was referred to hospice care.
She lived her life to the fullest. She went skydiving, Glacier National Park, Orange Beach, and golfing. She took a 12 day trip to Yellowstone, Grand Tetons and ended in Montana for her grandson's high school graduation starting over Memorial weekend 2014.
Joan made sure she was enrolled in both the PSC and bile duct cancer studies through Mayo clinic. She also had her type of cancer listed in her obituary to raise awareness.
My heart goes out to all of effected by this cancer and I pray for better treatments and a cure!

Tanaka bests Hughes for MLB-best 12th victory
Home runs by Beltran, Wheeler also help snap Yanks' five-game skid
MINNEAPOLIS -- For the first time in his career, Masahiro Tanaka didn't provide a quality start. But thanks to ex-Yankee Phil Hughes, he didn't need to.
New York used two big innings, including homers by Carlos Beltran and Zelous Wheeler in the fifth, to snap a season-high five-game losing skid with a 7-4 victory over the Twins on Thursday night at Target Field.
"The number one thing is for the team to win, and I think the offense came through and got me a lot of run support tonight," Tanaka said through his translator.
After collecting just one hit through the first four frames against Hughes, who had beaten the Yanks earlier this season, the New York bats came alive in the fifth. Mark Teixeira and Brian McCann led off with singles, and then Beltran smacked a three-run homer -- a 401-foot shot to right-center.
"The one big mistake of the game was the pitch to Beltran," Hughes said. "The other at-bats, I went hard-in, but I thought I'd try to get a ground-ball double play and threw a two-seamer away, but it caught too much of the plate."
The blast gave New York a 3-2 lead, and moved Beltran to fourth all-time among switch-hitters with 367 home runs.
Two batters later, Wheeler, who was called up from Triple-A on Thursday and made his Major League debut, belted a solo shot for his first career hit. The rookie crushed a 3-1 Hughes fastball into the Yankees' bullpen in left-center to extend the lead to two runs.
"I got a pitch over [the plate], elevated up and put good wood on it," Wheeler said. "I was like, 'Wow, I really hit a home run!'"
Yankees manager Joe Girardi beamed about his newest player.
"It's great to see," he said. "Talk about a kid who's persevered for a long time, and to get his opportunity -- and his first hit to be a homer and in our bullpen so we get the ball -- is kind of special."
The insurance homer was important, because Tanaka was not his usual dominant self. He gave up an RBI double to Chris Parmelee in the first inning, and then allowed two straight hits in the third to set up another run.
After the Yankees' offense gave him a lead, Tanaka nearly squandered it in the sixth. Twins catcher Kurt Suzuki smacked a double and scored on a groundout by Kendrys Morales to make it 4-3.
"I felt tonight, this outing was one of my worst ones this season as far as hitting the spots and making pitches," Tanaka said.
But Tanaka did enough damage control to pick up his Major League-leading 12th win. The right-hander went seven innings and gave up a career-high four runs on nine hits and zero walks to go with three strikeouts.
"He probably wasn't quite as sharp as he's been, but you're gonna have starts like that," Girardi said. "And he did a good job of minimizing damage and giving us a chance to win."
The Yanks made sure Hughes stayed in a tailspin. The righty exited the game in the seventh inning, with Wheeler on third base and Brendan Ryan at second with one out. Reliever Brian Duensing immediately gave up an RBI single to Brett Gardner and an RBI groundout to Derek Jeter to make it 7-3.
Eduardo Escobar singled in the Twins' half of the seventh to cap the scoring.
Hughes gave up seven runs in 6 1/3 innings, the third straight game he's given up at least five earned runs. The two homers off Hughes were also the first he'd given up in five starts.
"He's a guy that likes to throw a lot of fastballs, and he's gonna pound the strike zone," Beltran said. "We were able to take advantage of the mistakes he made."
Hughes' previous start against his former team went much more smoothly, as he gave up two runs in eight innings in the Twins' 7-2 win at New York on June 1.
Tanaka could not manage a quality start for the first time in his career. He gave up four earned runs for the first time in 17 Major League outings and surrendered nine hits, also a career high.
Dellin Betances fired a scoreless eighth and David Robertson worked around a two-out walk in the ninth inning for his 19th save.

The son of an actress (Lucia Bosè) and a bullfighter (Luis Miguel Dominguín), Bosé grew up in the arts -- with Picasso and Ernest Hemingway among his family friends. He often traveled from his homeland of Panama to Milan, New York, London, Paris, and Madrid. He made his film debut at the age of 15, and at age 21, he began his singing career, which eventually led to international pop stardom.
Between 1977 and 1982, he recorded several albums for CBS, but it wasn't until 1985 that he had his first hit with "Bandido." A year later, he signed with Warner Bros., which led to more introspective LPs like Salamandra, which was overseen by producer Celso Valli (well known for with work with Eros Ramazzotti). This production was followed by XXX, Los Chicos No Lloran, and Directo '90, a live recording compiling many of the artist's hits.
In 1993, Bosé's music moved into a more political vein with the album Bajo el Signo de Cain, which addressed such issues as Yugoslavia's political turmoil, ecological concerns, and aspects of his stardom. It ended up being his first platinum album. With an increasingly powerful international profile as a singer and actor, he released Laberinto in 1995 and went on a 125-concert tour of Spain and Latin America to support the album. This was followed in 1997 by 11 Maneras de Ponerse un Sombrero and, in 1999, a greatest hits album, Lo Mejor de Bosé.
In the following decade, Bosé's popularity continued undiminished; he released four more studio albums and two live albums. In 2000 he recorded Girados, a collaborative double live album with Ana Torroja. 2002's Sereno won him a Latin Grammy for Best Male Pop Performance, while 2005's Velvetina saw him stepping outside the box to experiment with electronic dance-pop (even the cover was a clear homage to Kraftwerk). In 2007, celebrating 30 years in the business, he made the album Papito, where numerous stars of Latin music -- including huge names like Juanes, Shakira, Ricky Martin and Laura Pausini -- joined him in re-recording duet versions of some of his biggest hits. A younger listenership was turned on to his music by the single "Como un Lobo," featuring his niece Bimba Bosé, herself a successful singer and model. He then took the album on the road, resulting in the live effort Papitour. His 18th studio album, Cardio, was issued in 2010. Produced by Bosé with Nicolas Sorin, it spent all of the spring and summer on the charts in Spain, as well as Mexico and Italy. Also in 2010, he was awarded honorary Colombian citizenship for his efforts toward peace in that country. Amo, released in 2014, became a Top Five success in Spain, and his MTV Unplugged set from 2016 hit number one in both Spain and Mexico.
During his career as an international pop star, Bosé has portrayed a cross dresser in Pedro Almodovar's High Heels, worked with Andy Warhol on two videos, and witnessed the banning of his video "No Encuentro un Momento Pa' Olvidar" for its controversial sexual imagery. Defying the contemporary formula for pop success, his music has been described as a global fusion of many musical influences. At the center of this is all the passion and expression of a Latin artist, and Miguel Bosé has constantly incorporated more diverse musical elements than many of the genre's crossover pop stars. ~ Zac Johnson & John D. Buchanan, Rovi

Starting December 15, the Phoenix Art Museum will debut an exhibit showcasing rare art, as collected by Gerry and Leslie Jones, from the post-Cultural Revolution in China called "Visions of Humanity: 20th Century Art from the Gerry and Leslie Jones Collection."
Starting in the 1960s and venturing through the 1980s, the collection will provide a gateway into a time in Chinese history when artists were only able to work for themselves, with no hope of an audience ever viewing their work. Most of the work was done during and after the Chinese Cultural Revolution of the 1960s, when the country began destroying old customs, culture, habits and ideas, starting with the destruction of artwork and historical artifacts that represented centuries of Imperial Rule. It wasn't until the 1980s when the Chinese government began to create policies that created space to allow painters to work publicly, creating a new hope for the people of China and birthing a new generation of artists for a broader audience.
"What is most distinct about the art of this period is not just what it depicts, but whom it depicts," said Janet Baker, PhD, the curator of Asian Art at the Phoenix Art Museum and organizer of the exhibit. "The artists of this time developed a new artistic language for their homeland, and that meant depicting ordinary people, something that was highly uncommon prior to 1950."
The subjects of many paintings in the collection include workers, soldiers, peasants, children, elderly persons and how they lived their day-to-day lives.
Gerry and Leslie Jones, who lived in China during the 1980s, were able to gain special permission by the Ministry of Culture in China to visit the homes and studios of artists across China in order to assemble this collection.
In addition to a 30-minute film in the gallery featuring an interview with Jones, Gerry will host a special gallery talk in the Orme Lewis Gallery on January 2, 2013 at 12 p.m., highlighting his favorite pieces in the collection.

12 Days Of Christmas – Day 8 Mystery Singer
Listen to Jon and Leslie in the Morning for a mystery singer to sing one of the '12 Days of Christmas.' If you can identify that singer, then you will win a Christmas present, just in time for the Holidays.
The singers could be anyone, but chances are you'll know most of them from your favorite songs on the radio. If you correctly guess the person, you will get a special Christmas present, that could be anything.
Maybe a trip to Gaylord Opryland for A Country Christmas or even a trip for the whole family for the Christmassy Dreamworks Experience. You might open your present and find tickets to a great concert like Luke Bryan, Alan Jackson, or Zac Brown Band. You might get a load of WKDQ gear, a bunch of CD's or a lump of coal (that one's not likely though).
Here's today's mystery singer:
You can also name the singer and earn points with the WKDQ Country Club

At the intersection of education and technology sits Coursera, an online education experiment. The classes from high-powered universities are free, but do not offer college credit. For one New York student, taking classes from the University of Pennsylvania has changed his life.
Inside a University of Pennsylvania office, Dan Bergmann shared insights into Greek and Roman mythology with his professor. Dan Bergmann's parents were also there — he needs their help to communicate. Dan has a severe form of Autism and to communicate he types letter by letter on an iPad. Then his dad Michael Bergmann then reads the letters one by one, building them into words and sentences.
"You're a wonderful lecturer t-h-e the r-e-a-d...the readings w-e-r-e were s-o so c-o-h-e-r-e-n-t the readings were so coherent," the elder Bergmann read aloud from the iPad.
The process is slow and pain-staking but for Dan it's his communication line to the world. "The first thing I noticed about the Autism is that it diminishes when I connect ideas," he typed. "The way Virgil adapts Homer's Underworld actually made me healthier. Isn't that strange?"
While the teen types, his eyes scan the room. His dad says, watch closely and you can tell out of the corner of Dan's eye he's looking at the keypad.
Professor Peter Struck, who taught Dan's online mythology class, nods while Dan types and Michael reads. With a little encouragement from his father, Dan keeps going and tells Professor Struck he feels less confined by Autism by engaging his brain this way.
Dan's dad, Michael, says his son benefited immensely from Professor Struck's mythology class and from another Penn professor's Coursera poetry course. But, he says it wasn't simple for Dan to be a student.
"He would spell out on the letter board his thoughts about what he wanted to say and then I would copy that and email it to his computer and put them on the screen and then he would point to things or he would say, 'Put this before that,' or 'change this to that.' So he actually had his first experience of editing and arranging his thoughts," said the elder Bergmann.
Dan says the online education has changed his life. "[I'm] much less isolated, much more confident that I can really learn," he tapped out.
Dan's mom Meredith says she's extremely proud. "Everytime he has an enormous challenge — and this certainly was — he grows and he becomes as he said, much more confident, far more composed," she said. "What in the world of therapy is called organized, really in command of himself."
Professor Struck says Dan proves that Coursera students come from all backgrounds. He says he gets notes from small islands in the Pacific, and from students in Zimbabwe and Belarus who all want to make sure they get their books on time and turn their quizzes in before the deadline. "They are taking the same course that Dan took and Dan's experience — I have not heard of a similar one from the thousands that are out there but there could well be others in the same position that he's in," said Struck.
Michael Bergamnn says by working so hard keeping up with the Coursera classes, Dan's reading has improved tremendously.
"I don't know if they have any one doing this but I think one of the best jobs on the planet right now is to be in charge of the Coursera office of unintended positive consequences."
Dan Bergmann says he now thinks academic study will always be part of his life.

On Saturday, November 17 supporters gathered to run the UCP Krispy Kreme Run annual 5k in downtown Huntsville. This year though there were dozens of supporters dressed in bright pink shirts to support 'Justice for Brandon Hydrick.' They donned pink shirts and ran the race to honor the recently slain 26-year-old Brandon, who was shot in cold-blood while riding as a passenger of a truck by the mobile home of Joel Moyers, a Limestone County resident.
Moyers was released on bail despite the fact that his crime is a capital murder offense, a charge that does not allow release until trial. In spite of all of the negativity surrounding the death of an innocent, hardworking, intelligent, handsome, and kind man, those of us who were close to him would like to have something positive flourish from this tragedy. The first step began with running in the U.C.P. race wearing 'Justice for Brandon' t-shirts.
If you would like to weigh in on this tragedy please email firstname.lastname@example.com who has released the shooter on bail and charged him with reckless murder, a much lesser charge than capital murder. The message need not be long — a simple — "I support a capital murder charge for Jody Moyers, killer of Brandon Hydrick" —- would suffice. Personally, I have taken it one step higher to the Attorney General of Alabama, Luther Strange. Here is his number if you would like to voice your opinion also: 334-242-7300.

How do you use it properly?
I just got this grill last year and have never used the rear burner. I have always used indirect heat when useing the rotisserie in the past. Now I have the "rotisserie burner" on the back and would like to try it.
All my manual tells me is that by using the rear burner it will sear the outside of what ever is cooking.
Any help???
I am looking for recipies, cooking times and most important instructions.

You are here: Home → Forum Home → Bumblebee forums → Bumblebee discussion → Thread
Down here in the Bucks Chilterns, there are now a large number of BBs about.
On our Allotment there are many B. pratorum drones, also a few workers. The other common species are B. pascuorum and B. hypnorum; and many B. lapidarius are working the flowers on a big patch of Chives.
But I'm seeing rather few B. terrestris / lucorum - although there is a nest of terrestris in my garden ~250 m from the allotments.
In ythe garden there are B. hortorum working the Aquilegias, Foxgloves and also Yellow Flag (in the small pond).
There have also been a couple of probable Cuckoo drones working the Allotment Chives.
I've got some photos of them, but haven't had time to work out what they are.
Glad to say there are lots of busy Bumbles around now including the appearance of Hypnorum on a Buddleja Globosa ... but there is a definate lack of Lapidarus! Is this a local trend (Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire) or is it the same elsewhere?
I'm seeing plenty of B. lapidarius workers, but until the last day or two there was a distinct dearth of B. terrestris / lucorum.
However, the pendulum has now swung and I am now seeing many more of them.
Wycombe, South Bucks - in the Chilterns.
Thanks everyone for your replies
So pleased to hear that our beautiful insects are now in abundence…....about time and well worth the wait
Hi , I'm new to this site, was trying to find an online survey for bumble bee activity. Reason being I have 4 nests in my garden and hundreds of bb the majority are small with a dot on their head and the other is the larger type ( sorry not an expert). I keep hearing of bees Declan and thought the activity in my garden may be of interest . I'm in Sevenoaks Kent.
Hello Jason n,
Welcome to the Forum ! I suspect that some of the Forum users would be green with envy to hear that you've got four nests !
Could it be that the bees with "dots on their heads" have actually been foraging in flowers that leave a blob of pollen on their heads / bodies ?
This could easily be the case if they have been working the creeping Campanula that is flowering well at the moment.
I suggets you take a quick look at the "About Bees" area of this website and see if you can work out which types you are the Landlord of.
Since the storms we had i've seen bumble bees everyday on a flowering plant in the garden, when its cool they are all over the plant all day approx. 30 plus and they are there until late some even sleep on the plant. We are in Marlborough
I have seen very few BB and have seen not a single one today and my garden is packed with bee friendly plants.
I have observed in my garden that bumblebee activity seems to peak in the evening or morning at the moment. I presume that the workers avoid foraging during the hottest part of the day ?
Has any else noticed when their foraging peaks are taking place ?
My first post here so excuse my lack of knowledge. I felt compelled to post because we,be had a great number of bees particularly on the foxgloves , cotoneaster and knautia but suddenly they have all disappeared en masse but for a few stragglers. The lavender is now flowering and we have planted almost exclusively for bees with bugloss, scabious, birds foot trefoil and many others but the bumblebees have fled. Could they just have a more plentiful source at the moment or should I be worried. We live on a farm in the countryside so could there be a better bet and they will be back when it,s done.
It's the same here in Wokingham. Early in the season I saw lots of queens but despite the bee friendly flowers in our garden I have seen a handful at most. The bumbles I have seen we're acting quite strangely, hovering over a flower for a second and then flying away rapidly. Previous years I have had countless numbers as many as 10 on one plant. Am a tad concerned. Where are all the bumble bees?!

Connections 20085. Madness in Medicine and Society
This is a two-course connection that links courses from two different areas: the humanities and the social sciences. This connection seeks to explore how socio-cultural and biological factors influence notions and practices of mental health and well being from Renaissance to 21st century. Students in the connection will look at the breadth of our understanding of the bounds of madness as they are differently narrated in medicine, literary criticism, biology, film studies, anthropology and psychology.
This connection draws on the strength of liberal arts linking quantitative social science with humanistic inquiry and representation. It encourages students to infuse their learning moving them to contextualize scientific, literary, cultural and western notions of madness by exploring the relationships that madness and society can have in different historical and cultural contexts.

DOD Pays Microsoft $617M USD to Become Early Adopter of Windows 8
Jason Mick
January 3, 2013 1:40 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer
(Source: intomobile)
New contract saves DOD licensing fees, gives it access to Windows 8, Sharepoint 2013, and Office 2013
David L. DeVries has a tough job, serving as a deputy chief information officer (CIO) of one of the world's largest and most high tech organizations -- the
U.S. Department of Defense
(DOD). Mr. DeVries made a bold move
a new three-year enterprise licensing deal with Microsoft Corp. (
) to adopt Windows 8 and other cutting edge products.
I. Armed Forces Hop Onboard Windows 8
Given its touch-friendly user interface and consumer focus many power users, analysts, and tech enthusiasts
about how the new Microsoft operating system would fare in the enterprise space. Indeed, even in the consumer sector reports
have been mixed
regarding the platform's sales health
While the DOD pickup is unlikely to silence the critics, it is a major score for Microsoft. While its deployment may take a year or two, the DOD is the largest organization to commit to shifting at least some of its users onto the new Microsoft platform.

The deal also is good for Microsoft's latest and greatest secure networking software, including Sharepoint 2013. Also included is Microsoft's latest Office 2013 software, which
in December.
Mr. DeVries comments, "How do we bring about better effectiveness for the warfighter, better improved security on the networks ... while reducing the cost of ownership? We are the largest corporation out there, comprised of four military services. … No one comes close to our scale, so when we talk about something that produces a standardized way of buying, installing and maintaining [enterprise software], that's a huge deal."
"There's a move afoot throughout the department to bring about efficiencies in the [information technology] world. We took a long, hard look at it … realizing that the Department of Defense relies upon the network and upon information technology to do its business."
The arrangement seems mutually beneficial. For the DOD they will consolidate multiple smaller licenses from the four military service branches into a single, more stable contract. The DOD estimates this will save "tens of millions over the course of several years through lower license and software assurance costs."
Microsoft, meanwhile gains a high profile advocate of its embattled Windows 8, should save some overhead on its end as well via consolidation, and safeguards itself against the volatility of multiple smaller contracts.
II. Commanders Praise Microsoft's Focus on Mobility
While some view Microsoft's newfound zeal for mobility to be a massive headache from an information technology perspective, Navy Rear Adm. David G. Simpson, DISA's vice director and senior procurement executive, argues that for organizations willing to embrace the future it is a massive opportunity.
U.S. Navy commanders expressed excitement at Microsoft's new mobile focus, which they view as perfect for their highly mobile service force. [Image Source: Navy.mil]
He comments, "The agreement] recognizes the shift to mobility. Microsoft is committed to making sure that the technology within the agreement has a mobile-first focus, and we expect to begin to take advantage of Microsoft's mobile offerings as part of our enterprise mobility ecosystem. Bottom line: lower price for greater value."
The press release did not mention Microsoft's smartphone platform Windows Phone. However, it is known that the DOD is currently working on
mobile device management (MDM) software to support other platforms
besides Research in Motion, Ltd.'s (
) fading BlackBerry platform, which comprises most of its current issued handsets.
Of course DOD IT sentiments should not necessarily be viewed as indicative of those of the greater IT community at large. The U.S. Army infamously
committed to the much-criticized Windows Vista
, back in 2009, declining to move on to the latest Windows 7 release.
"Well, we didn't have anyone in line that got shot waiting for our system." -- Nintendo of America Vice President Perrin Kaplan

As Space Shuttle Endeavor circles the earth tonight, it?s t-minus two months until the end of the shuttle program. Space Shuttle Atlantis? targeted launch date, according to the NASA website, has been pushed back to early July. After that all shuttles will be moth balled.
The space shuttle program is a monument unto itself; a symbol of human ingenuity, a symbol of our quest to conquer, a symbol of our passion to discover what else is out there. Human discovery that is?last I checked robots can?t sign autographs. The space program is still one of the cornerstones of American public education. No disrespect here, but few seven-year-olds dream about becoming the team leader at an accounting firm.
Living in North Florida we?ve grown accustomed to shuttle launches. Perhaps that?s why the decline of the space program seems just not that big a deal? Have we given up hope?
I remember sitting in front of the TV watching that first shuttle take off, and then return home, and I remember the sense of pride and accomplishment it gave everyone in America. We?d not only mastered the art of launching ourselves off the planet, we figured out how to drive the car back home in one piece.
As the second to last shuttle circles the earth tonight, and we no doubt gather to watch the last shuttle take off this summer, we?ll again raise our eyes to the heavens. We should still feel that sense of hope. Hope that someday soon we?ll find another symbol for pushing the limits to make what at one time seemed impossible possible.

LG Optimus F3 Review
0. phoneArena posted on 28 Jun 2013, 06:43
LG is never one to shy away from gaining traction in the entry-level segment of the market, seeing that it's still highly regarded as the bread and butter of a company's growth opportunity. Likely one to attract people to its $29.99 on-contract cost, the LG Optimus F3 for Sprint might look like ...

3. Landmarkcm (Posts: 506; Member since: 11 Aug 2009)
Once again this site rates a phone lower then other sites do. Phonescoop for example said it's a surprisingly good 5mp camera on this. Picking one of these up for metroPCS on Tmobiles network. It just launched there today.
4. Landmarkcm (Posts: 506; Member since: 11 Aug 2009)
So got this on metroPCS running on Tmobiles network. Don't go by the review here. Im really noticing that it depends on who reviews the devices here. I like how this site shows how potent the camera flashes are though. Anyway this deserved a higher score at least as high as the optimus L9 if you don't care abt the difference between 4 inch & 4.5 pick this up. Im surprised how fast lte is! Faster then my wifi. Fast shutter better 5mp camera then ones this site has rated higher. Overall great device with nice little extra features for a great price at least again on metro running on Tmobiles network. Sprint Virgin etc are not so good where im at as far as the coverage part. Anyway great mid range device as other sites have said.

Acctually its a pretty great phone. I've had one dropped it from like 7ft and broke so I'm going to get one today. And remember if service is bad in your area just flash it.

PROVIDENCE – Penn was able to mount a comeback in regulation to force overtime in a road Ivy League match at Brown, but a dominant overtime for the Quakers was negated by a well-placed shot from Daniel Taylor in the 105' in a 2-1 loss for the Quakers in double overtime.
After trailing in the first half, Penn outshot the Bears, 15-3 over the final 59 minutes of action. It was Daniel Taylor who took Brown's first shot on goal since the opening period, sending a ball inside the right post through traffic following a pass from Voltaire Escalona who tracked down a loose ball deep in the left corner and dribbled his way back to the center of the field.
For the second weekend in a row, Penn had to rally to force overtime while trying to stay in first place in the Ivy League.
The Ivy League's leading scorer, Duke Lacroix, brought Penn level with his seventh goal of the season in the 78'. Lacroix finished off a nice sequence for the Quakers, getting a boot on a Jonny Dolezal cross from the right side. Lacroix was wide open, and tapped in the ball with no one around. The play started for Penn on a booming punt from Tyler Kinn after Brown was close to getting a good look at a second goal, but the corner serviced curled out of bounds before the Bears could re-cross back to the box.
Penn was dominant in the second half, fighting for the tying goal. Penn took 10 shots to just one for the Bears, and earned six corners to just two for Brown in the second half.
Lacroix almost won the game in the 87', his shot from 15 yards out knuckling to the left and forcing Josh Weiner to make a diving save.
A tightly-played first half saw the first goal of the match go to Brown on a goal from Voltaire Escalona in the 32'. Escalona scored his third goal of the season on a strike from 20 yards out which snuck inside the right post. Alex Markes had the assist on the goal, slipping a pass through Penn's defense which found Escalona' foot in open space.
Penn had a 5-2 edge in shots on goal during overtime, Alec Neumann having a great chance in the 95', finding open space to send a shot to the right which was just outside the post. Moments later, Kamar Saint-Louis had an aggressive run, charging to the center of the box and taking a shot which was blocked wide by a Brown defender. The ensuing corner found the head of Louis Schott, but sailed wide. In the 100', Jonny Dolezal flicked a ball over a defender's head and got a boot on the ball in mid-air, just missing high.
Early in the second overtime, Lacroix nearly won the match with a nifty steal from a Brown defender. Lacroix then dribbled around the defender and was 1v1 with the keeper from in tight, but ran out of real estate and settled for a corner. Neumann again had a chance on a corner, but he was too far from goal and his attempt was easily scooped up.
Penn falls to 6-8-2 overall in 2013 and 3-1-1 in the Ivy League. The Quakers are tied with Princeton at 10 points in the Ivy League, currently in first place with Harvard (nine points) yet to play this weekend. Brown moves to 6-6-3 and 2-1-2 in the Ivy League, climbing right back into the Ivy League with eight points.
The Red and Blue and Princeton will meet next Saturday at 4 p.m. at Rhodes Field as part of Homecoming Weekend.

Led by Cano, Yanks blast Tribe with five homers
Offensive outpouring allows Pettitte to cruise for seven innings
CLEVELAND -- For all those who loudly proclaimed that the Yankees wouldn't be able to put enough crooked numbers on the scoreboard this season, Robinson Cano has a message he wants to deliver: This lineup can still mash.
In fact, the remodeled lineup hit more than enough on Tuesday, as Cano was part of a five-homer barrage that supported another strong Andy Pettitte effort. The blueprint worked perfectly as New York trounced the Indians, 14-1, on Tuesday at Progressive Field.
"We have guys that have been in this game for a long time, guys that know how to play the game and guys that have pretty good swings," Cano said. "They're stepping up for us. That's what you want, guys to come here, feel like they're at home and help us win games."
The Yankees pounded out 18 hits in cruising to their third straight victory, battering Indians starter Carlos Carrasco for seven runs before the right-hander was ejected for drilling Kevin Youkilis in the back following Cano's two-run blast in the fourth inning.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that he was not surprised by home plate-umpire Jordan Baker's ejection, and while Indians skipper Terry Francona defended his hurler by saying that Carrasco slipped on the mound, even Francona acknowledged that "under the circumstances, it didn't look good."
"It doesn't look good in a lot of ways," Youkilis said. "A home run is given up and a ball is thrown at your head. Luckily I just ducked down and it hit me in the shoulder. Things like that happen, but you're not surprised when seven runs are given up. You never know intent, and it's always on the pitcher."
Carrasco had just finished serving a five-game suspension for throwing at the Royals' Billy Butler in a 2011 game, having missed all of last year while recovering from Tommy John surgery.
"I know it doesn't look good," Carrasco said. "I really want to say sorry. I don't want to hit anybody."
In any event, with the way the Yankees were hitting, Carrasco wasn't going to hang around much longer. Powered by the long-ball display from Cano, Ichiro Suzuki, Youkilis, Lyle Overbay and Brennan Boesch, Pettitte finished with more than enough support to log his second victory of the young season.
"They just obviously did a great job, just put some really good swings and a lot of runs early," Pettitte said. "I'm glad I was able to give us a good start and take us fairly deep into the game. It's just a good win for us. We've played a few good games here and put together a good little streak."
Pettitte held the Tribe to just Asdrubal Cabrera's sixth-inning homer over seven innings of effective work, scattering five hits while walking three and striking out four in a 97-pitch outing.
He said that he has not been surprised to watch the Yankees score seven or more runs in their last three games, racking up 32 runs and 44 hits over the current winning streak.
"They're good big league hitters and they have been for a long time," Pettitte said. "Most of them have been around for a long time and played for a long time. They know what to do if you make bad pitches. It's not like you've got guys out there that are just going to get beat by fastballs that are right down the middle. Our guys can hit."
Brett Gardner and Cano each had four hits, with Gardner and Overbay scoring three runs, while Francisco Cervelli had two hits and two runs scored. Each player in the starting lineup had at least one hit for New York except for designated hitter Travis Hafner, who went 0-for-4 after spoiling Cleveland's home opener on Monday.
"It's great. That's what motivates you," Cano said. "You see the whole team getting on base, so you want to do the little things, get them over and try to get some singles with men in scoring position."
Ichiro hit his first homer of the year off Carrasco in the third inning, and Cano unloaded on a two-run blast in the fourth, his third in the last two games.
Youkilis exacted some revenge for Carrasco's plunking in the sixth when he laced a two-run homer to left off Brett Myers. Youkilis said that even though outside voices have forecasted doom and gloom for the Yanks, that negativity hasn't seeped into the clubhouse.
"I think we all had confidence within ourselves," Youkilis said, "and that's probably been the biggest talk -- no one's had confidence in us. So we stick together as a team, keep trying to have good at-bats."
Overbay belted a solo shot and Boesch slugged a pinch-hit, two-run blast off Myers in the eighth as the Yankees blew the doors off the contest. Girardi hopes the outburst has washed away any stains left over from losing four of the season's first six games.
"When you lose two games in a row in the middle of the season, you don't think much about it," Girardi said. "The last few days, we beat a very good pitcher in [Justin] Verlander, then to come in here and score a bunch of runs the next two nights, they've got to feel pretty good."
