Cubs' late rally falls short in loss to Reds
Chicago bangs out 15 hits, can't plate tying run in ninth
CHICAGO -- The Cubs rebounded from Thursday's tough loss on Friday, but it took until the ninth inning for them to do so.
The Cubs rallied for three runs in the ninth against Aroldis Chapman, but came up short, 6-5, against the Reds. Todd Frazier, Jay Bruce and Devin Mesoraco each hit RBI doubles for the Reds.
Manager Dale Sveum wasn't sure what to expect after a heartbreaking 4-2 loss to the Padres on Thursday when Travis Wood threw seven shutout innings, but was hurt by two defensive lapses in the eighth.
"Losing tough games like [Thursday], you see what you're made out of," Sveum said. "That was one of the tougher ones, if not the toughest loss we've had this year, because it was kind of in our control."
The Cubs have had their fair share of close games. Friday was their 24th game (out of 29) to be decided by three runs or fewer, and Chicago now is 9-15 in those games. Eleven of those losses have been by two runs or fewer.
Chapman entered the game 6-for-6 in save opportunities, but when he took over in the ninth with a 6-2 lead, it wasn't a save situation. The Cubs loaded the bases on pinch-hit singles by Dioner Navarro and Dave Sappelt, and another base hit by Starlin Castro. Chapman struck out Anthony Rizzo and got Alfonso Soriano to fly out.
Pinch-hitter Scott Hairston then drew a walk to force in a run, and Welington Castillo flared a two-run single to center to make it a one-run game.
Pinch-hitter Cody Ransom walked to reload the bases and chase Chapman, and J.J. Hoover struck out Darwin Barney to end it.
"Those were some great at-bats today off the best closer in the game," Sveum said of the ninth. "Hopefully we can learn from that, too. Instead of waiting until a guy throws 98 [mph], we need to make those adjustments when a guy is throwing 94."
What were the Cubs doing against Chapman?
"Being more patient," Castro said. "The guy can throw strikes. If you take some pitches, he has to throw every pitch for a strike."
"Sometimes you get hit," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "It's not a control thing. Sometimes you have to give hitters credit. They did some good hitting against Chapman."
It was just too late. Carlos Villanueva was facing the Reds 10 days after an outing in Cincinnati in which he struck out six and gave up three hits over 8 1/3 innings. On Friday, the right-hander struck out the first two batters he faced, but then Joey Votto lined a single to right and Frazier followed with a RBI double.
Shin-Soo Choo hit a RBI single in the second, but the big at-bat, Villanueva said, was by Bruce in the sixth when he drove in Votto with a double. One out later, Mesoraco doubled to score Bruce. Villanueva then walked Cesar Izturis and was lifted.
"They say it's a game of inches, it's one pitch away," Villanueva said. "My last two starts, I'm one pitch away from having two quality outings. The good part is I'm close to where I want to be. I'm just not putting that guy away when I need to. It was a big moment in the game [in the sixth].
"Earlier in the game, you can get away with it a little bit because you still have some outs to work with," he said. "At that point, I had two strikes on Bruce, and I have to make a better pitch. I get an out there, and we score a couple runs and keep the momentum in our favor."
It was Villanueva's shortest outing in his six starts. He's now given up four runs in each of his last two games after opening the season with four quality starts.
"The thing that got him in the last inning and in Miami [in his last start] was elevation," Sveum said. "Today, he couldn't get the ball down. Everything was up, every breaking ball, fastball. When he tried to make a good pitch, it was up in the zone and he was missing location."
Conditions were better suited for fall football than day baseball with a game-time temperature of 41 degrees and a wind chill of 37, thanks to the northerly wind. Reds starter Mike Leake was as tough as the weather for the first five innings. With one out in the Chicago sixth, Rizzo and Soriano hit back-to-back doubles, and Nate Schierholtz followed with a RBI single. One out later, Luis Valbuena singled to chase Leake.
"We didn't do much in the first eight innings, again," Sveum said. "We left some guys out there, again, and they added on a couple. One, they added on without a hit. Those are things that come back and haunt you at the end of the game. The tying run will get to the plate -- it doesn't matter who's closing."
The Cubs did collect a season-high 15 hits but also stranded 12.
"Everybody tried to do something because it was a tough game to lose yesterday," Castro said. "Everybody was ready in the ninth inning."
It was just too late.
"We've lost so many games by one run," Villanueva said. "Really good teams, teams that are in the playoffs every year, the record is the other way and in one-run games, you come out on top. For us, we have to get it done when it counts. If it's making a better pitch, having a better approach at the dish, we have to do whatever it takes to improve on that."

Nice pitch by Homer to get Holliday
Nice pitch by Homer to get Holliday
Homer pitching to Berkman like he knows he kills the Reds.
Whoa. Where was that?
Real close
I hate Molina.
Now let's see if Homer can shake that off. This is what constantly bothers him: a bad call, an error, a bad break, etc.
Rounding third and heading for home...
Looked like a great pitch to me on berkman.
Good job by Bailey to get out of there with no damage.
I think Molina is the most dangerous hitter in the Cards lineup
He sure seems to kill us.
I have nightmares on occasion of clowns, snakes, and Javier Molina. He just kills the Reds.
I'm gonna have a big decision in about 51 minutes when Breaking Bad starts.
Time to add on...6 hits in 3 innings....time to blow Westbrook out!

Cards alter rotation so Waino faces Bucs, Crew
ST. LOUIS -- The Cardinals will use Thursday's off-day to manipulate their rotation and maximize their use of ace Adam Wainwright down the stretch.
Rather than have Shelby Miller start the team's first game in Philadelphia on Friday, Wainwright will handle the series opener and Miller will go on Saturday. That will keep Wainwright, who last pitched Sunday, on regular rest and sets him up to pitch in the team's two remaining series against the Pirates and each of the two series against the first-place Brewers.
Had Wainwright remained on turn, he would have missed an opportunity to pitch during the Cardinals' early-September visit to Milwaukee.
"We like seeing him out there," manager Mike Matheny said. "We've adjusted his workouts accordingly, and the same thing with Shelby."
After Thursday, the Cardinals will have three more off-days before the regular season concludes and can again tweak their rotation if desired. Wainwright, who won his 15th game in his last start, ranks third in the National League in ERA (2.40) and innings pitched (176).

"Could J.J. Fill Need for Perimeter Punch?
Wednesday, June 8, 2005
Conrad Brunner
Q. I have noticed that most people are concerned about the Pacers' outside shooting and how we "need another weapon." However, I believe we have that weapon in James Jones. When the starters went down with injuries and suspensions, he stepped his game up incredibly. Also, during the playoffs, he was incredibly clutch on defense with steals and blocks and offense with consistent shooting. Assuming the Pacers are able to keep him, what's the probability that he will become a part of the regular second-team rotation? Would he sub for (Stephen) Jackson and (Ron) Artest? (From Max in Dallas)
A. James Jones took several steps in the career evolution process this season. Though the acquisition of Stephen Jackson could've meant little or no playing time and quite possibly no roster spot at all he simply continued his hard work, kept his confidence up and in the immediate aftermath of Nov. 19 had a coming-out party, scoring 22 against Orlando and 27 in Seattle while averaging 15.7 points in a six-game span. Defenses adjusted, took away the 3-point shot and his productivity sagged and, as suspended and injured players returned to action, his playing time dwindled.
But Jones is nothing if not relentless and he made adjustments to his game, worked on an up-and-under move that would use the threat of the 3-point shot to get an open mid-range jumper while also improving his overall game ballhandling, rebounding, individual defense. Late in the year, he showed a much more complete game and was again producing regular double-figure scoring games off the bench. He did so four times in April after just twice in the previous three months.
While he made major strides and established himself as a legitimate NBA player, it remains to be seen how prominent a role he'll play next season. Behind Jackson and Artest at shooting guard and small forward, James and Fred Jones currently are the two primary substitutes. Both are emerging players who helped their causes immensely last season, but the Pacers may still be on the lookout for a proven veteran to round out the rotation at those two critical positions."

Anglers have been doing very well both inshore and offshore over the past few weeks. The afternoon thunder storms have forced many trips to be limited to half day outings but the fish are there. Red and gag grouper are being caught in as little as 28 feet depths.
Capt. John Blouse reported doing very well around 42-44 feet, catching on one outing 15 keepers and not even reaching 50 feet in depth. The red grouper hit a little better than the gag in these depths but both were hitting.

Gag grouper, red snapper and scalloping seasons are in full swing. The weather has not been the anglers' friend in these first few weeks. Heavy rains and high winds have plagued the gulf waters since the last week of June.

Congressman Bill Braley really wants to be the next Senator from Iowa. This won't come as a newsflash to anybody who follows politics in the Hawkeye State, always in the eye of political watchers around the nation, and in fact he's been gathering headlines while running up an early lead in fundraising. But given the rather conservative to small-L libertarian leanings of Iowa, one might wonder why it should be a given in the mind of the media hive that Bill is on some sort of glide path to victory there.
The Shutdown Monster has been allowing the tide to go out on a number of politicos, allowing us to see exactly who was or wasn't wearing a bathing suit, and Congressman Braley is no exception on this front. When put to the task of identifying some of the horrors being inflicted upon Americans by this mess, Bill was quick to come up with an answer. He's having to wash his own towels at the gym.
They must not have been down to the gym lately. There's hardly anybody working down there. There's no laundry service, so we're doing our own laundry down there. And we pay a fee to belong to the House gym! So this is no different than if you're working at an employer that offers a wellness program that you pay a fee to belong. That's what we do there.
You may not often find yourself agreeing with Jimmy Kimmel, but even he couldn't resist this.
That's some serious pain that the wannabe Senator is suffering through, and he's doing it all for you, people! Of course, if he really wanted to examine who is suffering under this fiasco, he might want to speak to some veterans.
The House already passed the Honoring Our Promise to America's Veterans Act. One imagines that if Bruce Braley spent more time finding a way to get Harry Reid to allow a vote in the Senate on something of real value he might be taken more seriously, no? He wants to represent hundreds of thousands of veterans in Iowa if he's elected to the upper chamber. Perhaps he can spend a bit more time working for those who have served our country and are currently being ignored and a bit less about the towel boy not showing up outside the showers.

Full round review:
Canterbury have taken an unassailable lead in the Lincoln University National Under-19 Tournament, winning their fifth and final ODI match to go 12 points ahead of Central Districts in second place.
Three rounds remain in the tournament, all of which will be played in the Twenty20 format. While Canterbury have secured their position at the top of the podium, Central Districts, Auckland and Otago are all in the hunt for second and third.
Otago kept their hunt for a top three finish alive with a successful pursuit of Northern's 301 with three wickets in hand. Auckland posted a comfortable 46 run victory over Wellington, while Canterbury claimed the title with a three wicket triumph over Central.
Central needed to win to challenge for the Cup, but were hampered by the loss of regular wickets in the first-innings. Five batsmen made scores of between 18 and 30, but no-one anchored the innings and they were dismissed for a disappointing 171 off 46.5 overs.
As in previous games, Hamish Robertson was the most threatening of the Canterbury bowlers and finished with analysis of four for 22 off ten overs.
Canterbury made hard work of the chase, suffering a mid-order collapse after Dylan Goldstone (55) and Ben Ward (52) had got their side off to a terrific start with an opening stand of 99.
Luckily Sam Chamberlain and Freddy Anderson came to their side's rescue and finished off the task after 40.4 overs. The win sees Canterbury finish the One Day section of the tournament undefeated, playing a large part in their overall success.
Angus Schaw tried his best to thwart Canterbury, but in the end his three wickets wouldn't stop Canterbury from prevailing.
While the silverware was now no longer up for grabs, Canterbury's win gave Otago and Auckland a good chance to catch up with Central to push for second.
Auckland obliged willingly, holding Wellington to 198 after they'd originally finished 244 for eight. The 46 run victory mainly came down to Ben Horne, who scored 91 and took two wickets.
The recent NZ U-19 representative controlled his side's innings brilliantly and found a capable partner in James Parlow (58). Both played at a good pace, with Horne particularly dynamic with 13 fours and three sixes to his name.
A string of small cameos towards the end of the innings lifted Auckland towards the 250 mark, eventually finishing just six runs short.
Wellington's response saw eight players make solid starts at the crease – but like Central, they couldn't find someone to remain at the crease for an extended period of time.
In the end Sam Le Gros top scored with 36, but after 45.5 overs his side were all out still well-short of their target.
Auckland now trail Central by a mere three points.
Otago sit just three points behind them though, having overcoming a whopping 301 made by Northern in the first-innings.
Somewhat surprisingly there were no centuries in the high scoring match, with five of Northern's batsmen making 50s and almost everyone from Otago who batted making a considerable contribution.
Northern's Thomas MacRury (65), Tim Seifert (53), Anish Desai (52) and Cameron Gibbons (57) did the majority of the work, while a number of others also chipped in. On the final ball they were all out, but not before setting Otago an imposing total.
However, they were stunned by the southerners who strung together a handful of partnerships to chip away at the target to great effect.
Captain Gregor Croudis was the only one to raise his bat, scoring a team high 67. But that's not to say he was short on support, with only one player failing to make double digits.
It set up a special victory for Otago, who surpassed Northern's total after 49.1 overs.
There will be two rounds of Twenty20 matches tomorrow, followed by a final round of the shorter format on Friday.
Points table:
Canterbury 39
Central Districts 27
Auckland 24
Otago 22
Wellington 15
Northern Districts 12

Dr. Bronner's Tea Tree Pure-Castile Liquid Soap Reviews
A Delight for Hands and Body!Dr. Bronner's soaps are amazing. "Peppermint" gives me a wonderful tingle. I love the fresh scent of "Tea Tree."

SoapMy grandmother used to swear by this soap, and she always had beautiful hair and skin. I was glad to see that I could find it at such a reasonable price, and that I could recognize what the ingredients in it are. The scent was very nice and fresh; I am a huge fan of the tea tree oil. The soap had a good slip to it, and the lather was very light, not foamy at all. However, I found this soap to be s...read moretripping and drying. It was very harsh to my dry hair, and I would not recommend it to anyone with dry or damaged hair.

A Staple For Every HomeIf you have members of the family with skin issues, this castille soap shouldn't cause reactions. My daughter gets hives if I use typical store-brand laundry detergent and insect repellent and I have reactionary skin. We use the lavender soap for laundry and repellent and peppermint for other cleaning jobs. I keep a spray bottle with each in the garage. The key is figuring out the correct soap-water ratio and it's always surprising how much water you use. It lasts and lasts. — 6 years, 5 months agoleo1999 | 678 reviews

I love Les Paul Custom Lites. About a year ago prompted by a thread made by Seymour himself, I decided to start looking for one.
Now these used to be great value for your dollar, the one that made me lust for them was bought by a guy I knew for $800. Usually they go for $1,400 - $1,800. Even the 1988 Gold Top Limited editions usually sold around the $1,500 mark. When the one I bought came along it was priced pretty high - 1,900 shipped. I personally did not have a problem with that price because a.) it was dead mint - the original bridge had all it's gold plating, no pick scratches, no dents ... nothing, and b.) next to Ferrari Red, the Wine Red is probably the rarest colour to find.
Ever since then ... ebayer sellers have been asking more and more $2,500 ... $3,000 ... $3,500 all for models that are in ok-decent condition.
Here's the latest nutter.
A BIN of $4,000????
That's double what I paid for my Wine Red one a year ago. Sure it looks stock and in decent condition ... but WTF?

It's a small step down the hydrogen highway, but could turn out to be a significant one. After all, if you get used to a technology in the form of a toy, it doesn't seem so daunting when it grows up.
That is the strategy of Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies, a company whose goal is to integrate fuel cells into a wide range of products, starting small, evolving towards bigger and higher power applications. The Singapore-based company started in 2003 with fuel-cell science kits. It's working on an inexpensive charger for consumer devices. And at Toy Fair next week in New York City, it's introducing a fuel-cell powered radio-controlled car, made in cooperation with Corgi International--the H2GO. The company says the car can run about 5 minutes on a "tank" of fuel, but the on-board hydrogen fuel cell recharges in moments when the car docks with refueling station. A solar cell powers the refueling station, that breaks down tap water into hydrogen and oxygen, releases the oxygen, and pumps the hydrogen into a balloon in the car. It also powers the remote. And even the car's body is environmentally friendly--it's made of wheat-based plastic.
The H2GO is slated to go on the market for $99.99 in September.

Okay as the title says Tsuki no Me is very similar to the matrix.Only instead of software we have genjutsu.
So..since the villains are so strong now and it would be lame if they lost, what if they actually succeed and then the story doesn't end.
My theory goes like this:
Madara succeeding in his Plan, but then maybe Sasuke or Naruto managing to break out of the genjutsu (after all once you are struck with genjutsu it doesn't mean you can't break out of it).
Sasuke with his EMS should be capable of doing that maybe.
And remember how the Matrix ended? With a talk no jutsu by Neo.
Of course Sasuke won't do that..but our lovely wannabe-hokage is capable of "talk no jutsu"ing the Juubi itself into destroying the Moon's Eye Plan.
so the analogy is something like
agent Smith<-->Madara
Neo<-->Sasuke and Naruto
Juubi<-->Deus Ex Machina
Just an idea so if you find it hilarious please express it politely

Feasibility of a Minimally Invasive Image-Guided Surgery System for Hepatic Procedures
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
This study was designed in two phases: Phase I is designed to confirm that the surgeon is able to perform accurate liver surface registration including standard liver features used as landmarks during a scheduled laparoscopic liver ablation procedure and acquires a level of comfort with the procedure.
The surface of the liver will be manually swabbed with the study tracked laparoscopic probe with landmarks noted during data collection. After registration of the liver is obtained, the registration points obtained during this procedure will be evaluated by the surgeon by moving the tracked laparoscopic probe over the liver surface and evaluating the location of the tracked laparoscopic probe displayed on the guidance system three dimensional (3D) image. The surgeon will accept or reject the registration accuracy.
The hypothesis is that the surgeon will be able to successfully acquire liver surface registrations with a small learning curve for technique and will be able to proceed to Phase II of the study.
Phase II contains the registration process included above but adds the additional process of tracking the ablation probe used to perform tumor ablation by attaching the Pathfinder Multi-Tool adaptor and collecting data showing the location of the ablation probe as tracked and displayed on the Pathfinder three dimensional (3D) image.
The surgeon will use ultrasound (US) guidance to locate tumor location during the laparoscopic procedure. The images collected during this process will be recorded by Pathfinder.

Rural women turn to traditional midwives
We literally take the African phrase that says; "do not insult the traditional midwife if you still want to give birth" seriously. This is so because they are our messiahs here [in Chikombedzi, Zimbabwe]. We do not rely on the nurses for birth.

These teens' service projects yielded inspiring learning experiences.
Selecting just the right community service project for a Bar or Bat Mitzvah is a very personal experience. While some students will use an online resource like The Mitzvah Bowl to find an idea that suits them, others will draw inspiration from friends and family members. In doing so, they may still find themselves taking a bold step out of their comfort zones.
Such was the case with 12-year-old Sarah Warren. About six months ago, on the advice of her cousin, Reid Czapor, Warren joined Richboro Middle School's Buddy Club and began to get to know some special education students for the first time.
For an hour and a half each Monday during school, Warren and her fellow club members watch movies, play games and do arts and crafts projects with their special needs buddies.
Warren says, "I walk around the hallways with them and spend time with them. They know my name and when they see me in the hallway they give me a high-five and say 'Hi.' " She is the daughter of Adam and Michelle Warren of Richboro and will celebrate her Bat Mitzvah on April 5 at Ohev Shalom.
Warren was surprised to discover that her work with the Buddy Club ties in with her Torah portion, Metzora. One of the takeaways she has already gleaned from the portion is to not judge people simply by their physical appearance. And in the age of bullying, that's a lesson every middle school student should learn.
She has also concluded that special education students are "really fun and nice" and capable of doing much more than she had expected. She says of her mitzvah project, "It makes me feel good because I like helping people. It makes me feel good about myself and I feel happy when I leave" Buddy Club. She anticipates being in Buddy Club long after her Bat Mitzvah is over.
A desire to work with family friend Steve Jones of Wissahickon Restoration Volunteers is what caused Sasha Hochman of Mount Airy to put aside her strong dislike of dirt, worms and bugs to fulfill her mitzvah project of ridding two acres of Philadelphia's Wissahickon Valley Park of invasive plant species. The 13-year-old spent the months preceding her Jan. 11 Bat Mitzvah at Mishkan Shalom organizing and participating in six work parties that drew about 50 volunteers. The daughter of Anndee Hochman and Elissa Goldberg, Hochman and friends identified and removed invasive plants like Japanese knotweed, devil's walking stick and multiflora rose. In the cleared space, they planted 17 poplar, oak and maple saplings.
To staff the work parties, Hochman got a kick out of using Doodle, a free app that lets invitees select the dates that fit their schedules. Still, she says, "sometimes, it was frustrating when people said they would come and didn't or forgot about it." More typically, though, family, Hebrew school and public school friends from Julia R. Masterman Laboratory and Demonstration School showed up, worked, laughed, ate snacks and reveled in the vast improvement their hard work made in the landscape.
In her d'var Torah, Hochman said, "For the past seven months, I have worked to nourish the Wissahickon Woods back to a home for native plants. In June, when I first went to visit the site, I looked at the dense forest of invasive plants and thought, where do I ever begin? Where do I look, where do I put my effort, and where do I take the first jump? I realize now that these questions were the exact same ones plaguing the Israelites when they stood before the" Red Sea.
Meanwhile, 12-year-olds Lance Steiner of Yardley and Isabelle Simmens of Maple Glen both found inspiration for their mitzvah projects from a parent. For Steiner, it was the influence of his father, Cory, a former Marine who makes it a priority to help active-duty soldiers. About four years ago, the Steiners encouraged children from area synagogues to mail cards to Jewish soldiers overseas and collected toiletries and snack items to send with the cards. Recalling the satisfaction of doing that drive was what made Steiner decide to do something similar for his Bar Mitzvah at Kehillat Shalom on May 17.
This time around, Steiner — who has named his project Hand To Hero — is seeking donations of greeting cards, iTunes cards, sporting goods, toiletries and other goodies to send to Jewish American military personnel deployed overseas. To round up support and donations, he has been sending out emails and blogging about his progress. The Charles Boehm Middle School student has been able to find Jewish soldiers with the help of a military mother who maintains a list of their whereabouts and acts as a facilitator. She told Steiner that packages were especially needed at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, where soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan are sent, and by soldiers serving in Africa. He has already sent a box of care packages to Germany and has been given photos of some of the soldiers who received them.
"I want to get as many synagogues and children's groups as possible to participate and send cards," Lance says. He has also reached out to veterans' groups, receiving some financial assistance from the Levittown-based Fegelson Young Feinberg Post 697 of the Jewish War Veterans.
In Isabelle Simmens' case, it was her mother's health that prompted her to want to raise money for the Oral Cancer Foundation. Her mother, Michelle, was diagnosed in 2010 with a rare form of oral cancer that was spotted during a routine dental visit.
Michelle leaned heavily on the Oral Cancer Foundation's resources to get through the ordeal of surgery, radiation and recuperation. "I'm thrilled that she wanted to do something for people like me who have a rare cancer like that," Michelle Simmens says. She recalls that the foundation put her in touch with other people like herself and helped her know what to expect. After her successful surgery Michelle now wears a prosthetic device that allows her to speak, eat and swallow.
To date, mother and daughter have already raised $3,400 for the foundation by making and selling 230 burgundy-and-white beaded bracelets; they hope to sell a lot more.
Making the bracelets is a natural for Simmens, who will have her Bat Mitzvah at Temple Sinai on May 17. With interests that include jewelry-making, shopping, dancing and playing soccer, it's easy to see why the Sandy Run Middle School student thought making them "would be a cool idea."
Jordan Spivack's mitzvah project was also inspired by a family member — his grandfather, Mel Hunn. Since last year, Spivack has been collecting gently used stuffed animals from family, friends and strangers who have responded to the fliers he has put up all around the Yardley area. The 13-year-old Spivack has already collected 16 huge lawn bags full of stuffed animals, which he has donated to five different police departments, including Falls Township, Middletown Township and the Fraternal Order of Police in Philadelphia for the police to give to children who are experiencing any kind of crisis where law enforcement has to get involved.
"My grandfather gave me the idea about a year and a half ago," recalls Spivack. "After I did it the first time, I felt really nice inside. It was something I hadn't experienced before: a sense of gratitude. I wanted to repeat the process."
The 7th grader at William Penn Middle School in Yardley says that the police departments have been receptive to his project. "They were very excited — for some of the departments, it was something new. We got a letter back saying that the stuffed animals have already been used."
Spivack plans to continue collecting and distributing his plush bounty even after his Bar Mitzvah at Congregation Beth El in Yardley on March 29. "I'm even thinking of branching out," he says.

Slovenian wine is wine from the Central European country of Slovenia. Viticulture and winemaking has existed in this region since the time of the Celts and Illyrians tribes, long before the Romans would introduce winemaking to the lands of France, Spain and Germany. Today Slovenia has more than 40,000 wineries making 26.4 million gallons annually from the country's 59,300 acres of vineyards. About 75% of the country's production is white wine. Almost all of the wine is consumed domestically with only 2.6 million gallons a year being exported, mostly to the United States, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Germany and Italy.
Most of the country's wine production falls under the classification of premium (vrhunsko) wine with less than 30% classified as basic table wine (namizno vino). Slovenia has three principal wine regions: Podravje, Posavje and Primorska.

By reading the rules page carefully you will also find hints and tips that will make your experience on the THS message board more enjoyable.
Registration: When you register you must provide a real first and last name and a genuine email address. Without this information your membership cannot be approved.

We ask for your full name to create an honest and credible historical community. Many of our members know each other, and this information is important so that additional friendships may be made and to provide a measure of honesty and credibility between message board users. Members using a false identity will have their membership terminated immediately. This rule includes multiple registrations. Registering and posting using more than one account will not be tolerated, and will result in an instant dismissal. If you are having difficulty logging in to your original account, please contact the administrators.
If you do not wish to follow these rules you are welcome to follow discussions as a guest without the ability to join into the discourse between registered members.
Politics and Religion: Discussions involving politics and/or religious beliefs are not allowed unless specifically discussing a personality or issue dealing directly with the Titanic, another ship, or related maritime topics. This includes all discussion of reincarnation and linking to political and/or religious sites in your messages or signature.
Linking to Dubious Web Sites: We do not permit linking to web sites that contain dubious material of any sort. This includes, but is not limited to, racially insensitive sites and pornography of any sort including child pornography. External linking will be monitored in both forum posts and signatures. Creating accounts for the purpose of advertising, selling, or linking to pornography and hate sites is grounds for banning. We will react swiftly and harshly to such activity.
James Cameron's 1997 movie: The THS message board celebrates the 1997 motion picture Titanic but will not allow messages relating to fictional characters from that movie. This is a serious forum and not the place to ruminate over Jack and Rose. Questions and information relating to sets, models and filming of the movie, as well as other technical discussions related to the movie are welcomed.
Personal Conduct: Remember that your messages will be viewed by people around the world. As such, do not attack or smear any culture, country or its inhabitants. Not all members will have the same point of view that you do, so please respect their opinions.
Even if you've had a bad experience on another Titanic-related message board, this is not the place to air past grievances. Please refrain from messages or comments disparaging other forums. Keep discussions of a topic clean, respectful, and without profanity. Open discussion and debate are encouraged, but attacks on another member are not allowed. (Something as seemingly innocuous as "You screwed up, you should have…" is an attack on one's character and integrity, and will not be allowed.) We reserve the right to lock any thread that violates these rules and/or to delete the offending messages. Violators of this rule will be given no more than three chances before being banned. If a complaint about a post is received by the moderators, we will review and begin to act on any such complaint within twenty-four hours.
Copyright: Please read and obey the U.S. Copyright laws found at http://www.copyright.gov/faq.html . Short quotes from copyrighted articles and web sites may be used in replies, but do not post entire copyrighted articles into your posts. It is better to state your post in your own words. Any copyrighted material posted MUST link to the original source online. Photographs, paintings and drawings cannot be the property of any other person. There are too many attorneys in the world for you to take a chance on using someone else's material.
In uploading any file to the Titanic Historical Society message board you guarantee that one or more of the following statements are true:
1.) No copyright exists on the material being uploaded.
2.) Copyright on the material has expired.
3.) Explicit written approval has been obtained from the copyright owner for use of their material. The owner of the material must be acknowledged with this submission.
4.) The contributor of the article or image is the owner of copyright on the material that is being posted.
5.) The material used does not infringe on any trademark, license or copyright owned or under the control of a third party.
For-Sale Items: As a general guideline, please be careful of any member who advertises items for sale relating to the Titanic. The THS cannot guarantee any items offered outside the THS Museum Store, and cannot be held responsible for the outcome of any private sale. This type of activity is monitored closely, and spurious listings will be deleted. Do not list any item for sale in a thread not specifically created for this purpose. The THS gets no percentage of such sales, and as we are a non-profit organization we are not in the business of providing a free venue for marketers.
Downloads: Please do not request information for, or post links for, illegal software downloading information and web sites.
Privacy: No moderator or member shall be able to ask you for personal details such as a username, password or any other information relating to your membership. Please report any such request for personal information to the administrators.

Posting Tips
Composition of Posts: Please do not write your post in all capital letters. Please do not use cell phone or instant message spelling, punctuation and grammar in your posts. Show respect to your fellow members and proofread your message before submitting it. Members from around the world may have an incredibly difficult time figuring out what you are talking about, and poor spelling, capitalization and grammar are in poor taste. You don't have to be an English major – just get the idea across without offending the eyes! Keep in mind you are participating in a growing historic record, and how you wish to be remembered.
Please remember that you are writing for the historical record. Posts which contain incorrect information may be edited or deleted. Take the time to check facts and make sure of place names, people and dates.
Please reserve off topic discussions for the forum of the same name. Personal essays (known as Vanity Posts), chain letters, and non-attributed screeds are not encouraged at any time, and will be removed.
Post Titles: To open a discussion or request information, use descriptive titles to get the attention of those with the experience to reply. Titles such as "A question" or "I need help" without additional details may end up passing unnoticed by people who can help you. If your title is concise or distinctive other board members will be able find your question more easily. Your title may be edited for clarity and spelling.
Care in posting new topics: Please do not duplicate an existing discussion. Using the search function will help you find existing topics. Duplicate threads will be moved or deleted without notice. Also, do not start a new discussion in the middle of an existing thread. This confuses the original intent of the thread, and makes it harder for the serious researcher to find information. Please reserve off-topic discussions for the appropriate forum.
The avatar feature of this message board is disabled.
Please remember that with all the rules above, warnings will be served and chronic offenders will be banned.
Due to abuse of the private message system (PM), the ability to send private messages in the forum have been disabled.

Retired athletes, and athletes who probably do not yet have that word in their vocabulary, highlighted championships in the San Gabriel Valley and Whittier areas in 2013.
Also making headlines in 2013 were happenings at some of the best sports facilities in the nation.
A look back at 2013:
1. Breeders' Cup
Gary Stevens, 50, who had retired from horse racing only to return to the sport, finally won his first Breeders' Cup race in 14 tries by riding Mucho Macho Man to victory at Santa Anita Race Track in the Classic, the biggest race of the day on the biggest day in horse racing. Two of the oldest jockeys, Stevens and Mike Smith, 48, combined to win five of the 14 races in front of near-soldout crowds. Stevens also won the Distaff aboard Beholder. Kathy Ritvo became the first female trainer to win the Classic. Trainer Bob Baffert won two Breeders' Cup races, with Secret Circle in the Sprint and New Year's Day in the Juvenile. Wise Dan won his second consecutive Breeders' Cup Mile.
2. The Rose Bowl
The man who broke baseball's color barrier practically grew up just down the road from the Rose Bowl. A baseball field named in his honor is just a stone's throw from the stadium. That Rose Bowl color barrier was broken a long time ago by football players, but not until 2013 did an African-American head coach finally win the Granddaddy of Them All. Stanford head coach David Shaw led the Cardinal to a 20-14 victory over Wisconsin. The 99th edition of the game was the third consecutive Rose Bowl defeat for the Badgers. Wisconsin was coached by athletic director Barry Alvarez, who replaced Bret Bielema (who had taken the Arkansas job) for the game. It was Alvarez's first defeat in four Rose Bowl games. Wisconsin running back Montee Ball became the first player to score a touchdown in three consecutive Rose Bowl games. There were no touchdowns scored in the second half for the first time since 1958.
3. Hitting the mark at Mt. SAC
Mt. SAC and Southern California track and field have always gone hand in hand. The 55th edition of the meet last April featured some of the top early-season marks in the world. Sprinter English Gardner of Oregon and high jumper Erik Kynard Jr. of Kansas set world-leading marks, which they later bettered into top U.S. national marks in 2013. In November, school officials unveiled plans for a $62 million makeover to the 65-year-old facility in an effort to hold Olympic Trials and Grand Prix events.
4. Making a championship State-ment
Bouncing back from a defeat in the CIF-Southern Section finals, Arcadia High School won its third state cross country title in four years. Estevan De La Rosa finished second in the state. Senior Alan Yoho became the first Flintridge Prep individual athlete to win CIF-SS and state titles. He set a Division V meet record in winning the state title at Woodward Park in Fresno.
5. Irwindale Speedway reopens
NASCAR racing returned to the San Gabriel Valley a year after the previous operators of Irwindale Speedway closed the gates. Midway through the season, shortly after it was announced racing would return in 2014, longtime property owners Nu-Way Industries sold the facility for about $22 million, according to sources. Lindom Company, the new owners, have said they are committed to racing in 2014, but have not said what their plans are for the property after next season.
6. Cardiac champions
La Serna and San Dimas high schools scored dramatic CIF-Southern Section football championships. La Serna won the CIF-SS Southeast Division title with an epic 41-38 double-overtime victory over Norwalk. Senior quarterback Frankie Palmer completed a 19-yard touchdown pass to Matthew Rosales on fourth-and-5 in the second overtime. San Dimas won the Mid-Valley Division crown when Joseph Mayorga scored on a 32-yard run with 27 seconds to play to defeat Paraclete, 20-14.
7. Tour back in the valley
The Station Fire effectively knocked Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley out of the running for a stage in the Tour of California two years ago. But one of the world's premier cycling events returns to its north-to-south route and will feature a finish in Pasadena in 2014, race officials announced.
8. Teaming up on CIF titles
It's difficult enough to win one CIF-SS championship. Two west San Gabriel Valley schools won a pair of titles in the same sport. The San Marino High boys and girls tennis teams won division titles and the Flintridge Prep boys and girls cross country teams each won divisional titles on the same day.
9. Watson leads APU
Azusa Pacific University completed its third 10-win season in program history by scoring a 67-0 victory over Greenville (Ill.) College to win the National Christian College Athletic Association Victory Bowl. Junior tailback Terrell Watson established new career and single-season rushing yard records and also a single-season rushing TD record.
10. Finchamp is two-time triathlon champ
Maranatha High School senior Hannah Rae Finchamp won her second consecutive Xterra World Championship Triathlon, winning the female amateur title in Maui. She is the only amateur woman to win the title twice. She would have placed 11th if she was entered in the pro race.

Garlic Butter Steamers
Garlic Butter Steamers – New England steamers (soft shell clams) with garlic herb butter. A 15-min recipe that is easy and delicious.
Last weekend, we went to Redondo Beach to celebrate my friend's birthday. Redondo Beach is probably one of my favorite places to go to in the Los Angeles area, not because of the spectacular views and the nice beaches, but for the seafood. If you are a local or have visited Redondo Beach, you will know that locals and tourists alike flock there because it offers the freshest seafood in the area, with many seafood shacks selling everything from fresh oysters to crabs crab or lobster, and more.
One of the shellfish that I absolutely love but can't get easily is soft shell clams or New England steamers. They have thin and fragile white-color shells, with siphon sticking out. Soft shell clams are extremely briny and sweet in taste, and the flesh is very tender and juicy. All I did was steaming them with a little garlic, herb and butter, with some white wine. I would always guzzle the delicious clam juice until not a single drop left.
If you can't find steamers where you are, you can certainly use any clams you can find in your area. There are also similar recipes that you can try: Thai steamed clams, ginger and clam soup, Taiwanese-style clams, and steamed Asari clams. Bon appetit!

Editor's note: The following article was written by Heather Dann and published in the Miner Institute Farm Report by The William H. Miner Agricultural Research Institute.
A properly designed and managed calving pen should: 1) promote cow comfort and a low stress environment for the cow, 2) minimize the health risk for the cow and calf, 3) offer convenience for people working with the cow and calf and 4) provide an opportunity for seclusion by the cow. In the December 2013 issue of the Farm Report, I discussed the need for seclusion by the cow and the research we have done showing that heifers had a shorter duration of labor when left to calve in a bedded pack enhanced with a calving blind than when moved "just in time" to an individual calving pen. Since then, researchers from the University of British Columbia have published 2 papers regarding maternal isolation at calving and flooring preferences of cows at calving. The majority of work done on cow comfort and animal welfare has focused on the lactating cow. The importance of cow comfort and a low stress environment for our cows around the time of calving is being realized.
Close-up cows were housed in a freestall pen and moved as pairs based on expected calving date to a maternity pen about 1 week before calving and remained in that pen until they calved. Once the first cow of a pair calved (pair-housed cow), she was removed and the second cow remained in the pen until she calved (single-housed cow). The maternity pen contained 2 packs (~8' x 24') each with a mattress base and a layer (2.4") of sawdust. The maternity pen contained a "shelter" with an 8' tall plywood barrier around 85% of the width of one pack. The opening to the shelter was 8'. The maternity pen was understocked and provided over 600 ft2 per cow. While this is impractical on dairies, the extra room allowed cows to express their preference for isolation. The pair-housed cows began seeking a calving site and separating from its pair approximately 8 hours before calving. The pair-housed cows were more likely to calve in the open area, regardless of time of day. In contrast, the single-housed cows were more likely to calve in the shelter but only during the day.
Within 48 hours of calving, a cow will increase the number of times that she switches between standing and lying with the majority of the increase occurring in the last 6 hours before she calves. Given the frequent transitions between standing and lying, the flooring must provide proper traction to prevent slips and falls by the cow while providing a comfortable surface for the cow to lie on. Common flooring surfaces in calving pens are grooved concrete, sand, and rubber mats or mattresses with a thick layer of straw or sawdust added to the flooring surface. In a preference study, cows were housed in an individual calving pen and allowed to choose a flooring surface (4" of sand, pebble-top rubber mats, or concrete floor) covered with 6" of straw. Before calving (24 to 29 hours), cows spend more time lying down on sand and concrete compared with rubber. However, the number of transitions between standing and lying were similar between the flooring surfaces. At calving, 59% of cows chose sand, 35% chose concrete, and 6% chose mats. Also, cows that calved on sand spent more time lying on sand within the 6 hours before calving compared with the other 2 flooring surfaces. It is clear that cows preferred sand to rubber mats during calving.
As we design or remodel calving pens, let's keep in mind the needs of the cow. Cows seem to seek isolation or separation from other cows when calving. We can create a secluded area by using plywood or tarps on pen dividers and gates that minimizes distractions by people and other cows. However, we need to make sure that the area remains dry and clean to minimize the health risk for the cow and calf. In addition, the flooring surface of the calving pen or secluded area needs to provide the best footing surface for cows that frequently transition from standing to lying. Sand or concrete flooring covered with thick straw seems to be preferred by cows.

Treatment depends on the type of leukemia, the stage of the cancer when you were first diagnosed, your age and overall health and your symptoms. The goal of treatment is to get your blood counts back to normal. If this occurs and the bone marrow looks healthy under the microscope, the cancer is said to be in remission.
Chemotherapy is used to treat acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia and may be recommended for early stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
Patients typically receive their first course of chemotherapy in the hospital over a period of several weeks. Later, you may receive chemotherapy as an outpatient. If ALL spreads to the brain and spinal cord, you may receive chemotherapy directly into the space around your brain or in the spinal column, or radiation therapy to the brain. If your leukemia returns or does not respond to other treatments, a bone marrow or stem cells transplant is usually recommended.
Usually, no treatment is prescribed for early stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), but physicians closely monitor their patients. If chromosome testing suggests that you have a high-risk type of CLL, treatment may be started earlier.
Treatment may also be started if infections keep returning, leukemia is growing rapidly, you have low blood count (anemia and thrombocytopenia) or are suffering fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss or night sweats.
Several chemotherapy drugs are commonly used to treat CLL. Rarely, radiation may be used for painfully enlarged lymph nodes. Blood transfusions or platelet transfusions may be required if blood counts are low. Bone marrow or stem cell transplantation may be used in younger patients with advanced or high-risk CLL. A transplant is the only therapy that offers a potential cure for CLL.
Medications are available for treatment of some types of leukemia.
A medication called Gleevec is the first line of treatment for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). The medication is a pill, taken by mouth, and is associated with very high rates of remission and survival.
In some cases, a chemotherapy medicine called hydroxyurea (Hydrea) is used temporarily to reduce the white blood cell count if it is very high at diagnosis. Characterized by a very high count of leukemia cells, the blast crisis phase is very difficult to treat. Treatment is similar to AML or ALL. The only known cure for CML is a bone marrow transplant or stem cell transplant.
Treatment may not be necessary in the early stages of hairy cell leukemia. Some patients may need an occasional blood transfusion.
If treatment is needed because of very low blood counts, a variety of chemotherapy drugs can be used. Chemotherapy usually relieves symptoms for many years.
Removal of the spleen may improve blood counts, but is unlikely to cure the disease. Antibiotics can be used to treat infections. People with low blood counts may receive growth factors and, possibly, transfusions.

Going Green: Secrets in the Ice, CNN, 8pm
AN INTERESTING documentary in which CNN reporter Fred Pleitgen travels to Greenland with a scientific expedition gathering data on the accelerating melt of the Greenland ice sheet. The sheet covers an area more than twice the size of Texas in ice up to four kilometres deep, but is losing an estimated 400 billion tonnes of ice each year. The scientific expedition has two strands - an aerial survey using ice-penetrating radar to establish the depth of the ice in different areas, and a drilling operation to extract ice cores that serve as an archive of the earth's climate over tens of thousands of years. Neither produces good news. Pleitgen, however, finds that many among Greenland's population of 56,000 see economic opportunity in the retreating ice. More land will be available for farming and, as Pleitgen sees at an experimental farm, crops such as strawberries will become viable. Mining companies are also keen to exploit reserves of coal, oil and gas to which the ice has until now stubbornly denied them access.

Unlikely Animal Friends, Nat Geo Wild, 7.30pm
HOW this gorgeous series has failed to become a bona fide pop-culture phenomenon is absolutely beyond me. After all, our species is helplessly addicted to cutesy animal photos with humorous captions. We should be equally defenceless against the onslaught of adorability that is the sight of an orphaned badger cub playing ambush games with fox kits, or that of a young Labrador and an orphaned cheetah racing around together as though they don't have a care in the world. Tonight's episode is a best-of compilation, and going in I didn't think there would be anything cooler than the migrating polar bears who stop off for annual play dates with Eskimo dogs in Canada. Then comes the dog and dolphin that spend hours playing together in the chilly waters off the Irish coast - as underwater footage shows, the dolphin gets its kicks sneaking up on the dog and blowing great spouts of bubbles underneath it. The script, inevitably, tends to over-anthropomorphise the animals, but it's great family viewing.

Jurong Shipyard, a fully owned subsidiary of Sembcorp Marine, has been instructed by Singapore's Ministry of Manpower (MOM) to review its risk assessment and safety procedures before starting further recovery works on board the Noble Regina Allen (400' ILC), following the death of a worker who collapsed on the rig Dec. 30, 2012.
A spokesperson representing the MOM told Rigzone Friday that the ministry's preliminary findings show that the worker was carrying out preparation work in a utility room for the recovery of the oil rig, when he collapsed inside the room. The worker was sent to National University Hospital (NUH) for treatment, but he subsequently passed away.
NUH certified that the cause of death of the worker was due to coronary occlusion. MOM confirmed that investigations into the accident are ongoing.
The deceased was an employee of Belfor Asia, a disaster recovery and property restoration company that has been hired by Jurong Shipyard to perform recovery (protection) work on the rig.
A spokesperson at Belfor Asia told Rigzone on Thursday that the deceased was wearing a hard hat, a safety belt secured to the platform, safety boots and eye protection at the time of the incident. The spokesperson also confirmed that the air quality in the area was good, with no hazardous gases present.
This incident follows closely on the heels of an earlier accident that took place in December last year. The accident – described as one of Singapore's worst industrial accidents – occurred on the rig Dec. 3, 2012, when a brake failure caused the Noble Regina Allen to tilt initially at ten degrees. The rig was buffeted by strong waves, and subsequently, it tilted to 17 degrees. About 980 people were on board at that time, and 89 workers were injured in the accident.
MOM Occupational Safety and Health Inspectorate imposed a stop-work order (SWO) for all production works on the rig. The SWO, which is still in place, permits only work related to the recovery of the rig to be carried out.
Sembcorp Marine confirmed Jan. 2, that no construction work was carried out on the rig since Dec. 3, except recovery work performed by SMIT Salvage and Belfor which was done in sequential stages to bring the rig to an upright position.
The rig, at present, still remains tilted.

Youngsters and adults tried their hand at archery at a free event on The Green in Devizes on Sunday.
As part of a national initiative by the sport's governing body, Devizes Bowmen hosted the event to introduce people to the sport.
Children aged eight upwards used fibreglass bows to shoot at the target and there were squeals of delight when they successfully shot a balloon on the board.
Devizes Bowmen demonstrated three types of bows – the long bow, recurve and compound.
Member Mark Rudd, who shot for Team GB in the World Cup in Shanghai, was among those demonstrating their skills.
Group secretary Martin Page said: "We had a few hundred people come through and everyone who attended had a good experience.
"One of the main aims was to raise the profile of archery in general and get a few more members. It's the first time we have run this type of event.
"There were a few people who didn't realise there was a local club in Devizes. We have about 40 members of varying ages."

IND Receives:

IND Sends:
2011 1st Round pick (Lotto Protected)
ATL Sends:
Josh Smith
ATL Receives:
Anderson Varejao
Jamario Moon
CLE Sends:
CLE Receives:
2011 First Round Pick (Lotto Protected from Indiana)
Why for IND? Pick up an athletic 4 who can play good D and shoot an uncontested jumper.
Why for ATL? Varejao allows Horford to slide over to his natural position as a power forward. Moon is expiring short term contract who could be useful as an athlete off the bench.
Why for CLE? I guess, you'd have to hope that Cleveland wants to just start over completely with this one. Dun is an expiring 10 million dollars, while Varejao has 5 years on his deal. Hansbrough is a young player, and they get a pick. It's a stretch, but I guess if Cleveland wanted to stock pile assets and cap room this could be a way to do it.

Please don't shoot me. I'm just the messenger... and I'm curious to see what you guys would think of the following trade idea posted on a Kings board. Remember, it's NOT my idea! ;)
Comments? I know what I predicted most of you would say but I'm curious to see if I was right...Quote:
I would really like to see some article from Indiana speaking about Ron Artest. If they are saying things such as "next season with Ron Back" or "If we would have had Ron". If I don't see statments such as that, then i don't feel Artest is desired in Indiana any longer. that being said and Petrie and the whole Kings organization saying we need defense so bad. Shouldn't we be putting together some combos to get the Defensive Player of the Year. Not to mention he is by no means a liability on offense, he is an easy 15-20 guy in our lineup of Bibby, Peja, and Miller. So if Indiana is frustrated with Ron and don't want his services any longer then Petrie should be on the phone night and day becuase of the problem we have this guy is the best one out there at pluging that hole. Don't settle for less go for THE one.
Kenny Thomas and Corlis Williamson to Indiana
Ron Artest and Johnathan Bender to Sacramento
why the kings do it. Defense at the 2, toughness, no loss in offense
why the Pacers do it. get 2 quality SF/PF guys to fill voids so O'neal can play center if need be and they lack no offense, also to get rid of a guy that has brought alot of unwanted attention to the organization. and 3 to get rid of an undesired contract in Johnathan Bender.
Now sure we take a hit to cap with bender but we get better quality at the 2 and Kenny's 5 year undesired contract is gone.

California "Happy Cows" will live to see another day.
The Happy Cows are part of a promotional program that was challenged in court by the animal-rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. The program calls attention to the efforts of California dairy farmers to care for the health, comfort and welfare of their cows while acting as stewards of the environment.
More than Happy Cows, the ruling actually applies more to the current "Family Farms" campaign.
Friday, the Sacramento Superior Court for the State of California denied PETA's claims that the promotional messages are false and misleading.
"The statements (in the promotional campaign) concern the diligence of efforts made by California dairy farmers to provide for the health and comfort of their cows," the court's ruling said. "In an effort to respond to consumer concerns about the care provided to dairy cows, the statements convey a message that dairy farmers work fulltime to secure the health and comfort of their cows by providing a nutritious diet, good medical care and healthy living arrangements consistent with the highest animal welfare standards ― matters shown to be supported by the direct aggregated experience and knowledge of Department(of Food and Agriculture) personnel and (California Milk Advisory Board) members."
"California dairy families take the well-being and care of their cows very seriously," points out Jennifer Giambroni, director of communications for the California Milk Advisory Board (CMAB).
"The CMAB's key responsibility is, and always has been, to market and to create a demand for California dairy products," Giambroni says. "Through its role, the California Milk Advisory Board also contributes to creating choices for consumers around buying dairy products, and we look forward to continuing to play a role in Americans' dairy choices."
PETA, meanwhile, issued the following statement:
"In denying the petition, the judge excluded all the evidence from peer-reviewed scientific journals and U.S. Department of Agriculture surveys," said David Perle, senior media coordinator for the animal-rights organization. "The evidence shows that disease and suffering is rampant — more than 30 percent of cows suffer from udder infections, painful swollen knees, and hoof disorders, such as foot rot, ulcers, and abscesses, resulting in lameness and premature death. Mortality is an increasingly severe problem on California dairy farms, and many cows don't even survive long enough to be hauled off to slaughter because they lack proper shelter and care.
"PETA is continuing a review of the judge's decision in order to determine our next step in this case," he said.
Also, see "PETA's lawsuit against Happy Cows campaign called pointless."

While I'm still relatively new to these boards, I thought putting up my normal bag would help me in getting some recommendations in the future as I'm looking to build either a Discmania or Discraft set soon to see what all the rage is about. I have thrown Innova since my first round of DG 3 years ago. I used to be a NCAA ball golfer who through multiple accidents, hurt my back making hitting golf balls consistently impossible. While I can still play, I'm just not competitive at it any longer. So, my buddy got me into disc and I've been throwing ever since.
Distance Drivers:
175g Champion Boss (long hyzers - forehand shots)
> Summertime only discs
171g Champion XG Boss (long s shots / FH rollers)
173g Champion Destroyer (Go to for long turnovers/ FH)
171g Champion "AO" TeeDevil ("butter" disc - throw it any way I want and it'll hold the line)
167g Champion "AO" TeeDevil (My understable distance drivers. Wonderful anny's)
174g Pro Wraith (Domey, but just got it. Haven't thrown more than 5 times)
172g Champion Archon (wonderful 300'-350' S-Curves. Falls just short of the median line usually)
171g Star FL (300-350' slight right to left shots / shorter FH)
172g Star Valkyrie ("on-a-rope" drives from 300-350' with no fade )
168g Champion Sidewinder (Sharp anny's/ rollers / three-quarter speed straight shots)
175g Champion "BSF" Teebird (300-350' with slight fade into wind)
Fairway Drivers:
172g DX Viper (utility disc/ massive meat hook shots - wanting to find a champ or star to replace it with)
175g Champion "BSF" Gazelle (275-300' shots and a few flex shots / play it like a shorter Teebird)
172g Echo Star Leopard (my other "butter" disc. throw it on any angle and it sticks unless in wind)
172g Star Cro (Stable shots into the wind)
180g Champion XG Roc+ (less stable than the Cro, a bit shorter on distance as well. My go-to mid for slight stability)
171g 12x KC Pro Roc (Newerish - wonderful for 240-300' any angle except hyzer)
175g 12x KC Pro Roc (Worn - less stable but still butter - dark grey though and hard to find when playing solo)
175g Yeti-Pro Aviar (Regular Putter)
175g Yeti-Pro Aviar (Backup)
175g JK Pro Aviar-X (Just got this one, purchased to dye. After looking, can swear this is nothing more than a softer Proto Yeti-Pro)
So, there ya have it. There are other discs that make their way in and out of my bag depending on the course I'm readying to play (usually my Skeeter, Dart, or Kite) but rarely do they come out to play. Thanks for the read.
