EASTLEIGH will try to make club history in the FA Trophy at home to Dover Athletic tomorrow – but without star man Stuart Fleetwood and skipper Glen Southam.
Both are due a one-match ban for reaching five bookings and Fleetwood, pictured, has an additional three matches to serve for a straight red in the 2-1 home win over Bath City a fortnight ago.
Former Hereford and Luton striker Fleetwood is an influential figure to lose for that length of time, but manager Richard Hill has every faith in his squad to cope in his absence as the Spitfires strive to reach their first ever Trophy quarter-final while maintaining a Skrill Conference South title push.
Asked if he had considered bringing in a loan player to fill the Fleetwood void, Hill said: "Everyone seems to think other players are better than ours which is disrespectful to the players we've got.
"Everyone sees our players week in, week out and inevitably they have good games, average games and the occasional one where they're not at their usual level.
"Then they look at opposition players coming to Eastleigh and playing at their best and think 'he'd do', but most of them don't play like that every week. Most people are only one or two-game scouts who see opposition players a couple of times a season when they play us, whereas I see them a lot more.
"Any player I sign has got to be better than what we've got and if I brought in a loan player it would have to be for the right reasons.
"If I was a player at another club and a manager approached me asking me to give heart and soul, knowing I'd probably lose my place when another player came back from suspension, I'd be very reluctant to join that club.
"It's highly probable that any loan player couldn't play in the Trophy and, with the weather like it is, he could end up playing only one or two games which wouldn't be good economics.
"I'm very happy with my squad. We could always improve with the right player, but my lads are making it hard for me to find that player – and so they should."
Dover too have run into disciplinary hot water with both defender Sean Raggett and midfielder Chris Kinnear Jnr missing what will be the first of back-to-back trips to the Silverlake in the space of four days.
Providing no replay is required, Dover return to Stoneham Lane on Tuesday for a Skrill Conference South showdown between last year's play-off semi-final rivals.
Eastleigh beat Dover 2-1 away in the league on December 17, partially atoning for last May's penalty shootout heartbreak at Crabble which shattered their play-off final dreams.
The Silverlake has been a happy hunting ground for the Kent club in recent years, having won on each of their last five visits. But the Spitfires have made the more impressive start this season, sitting second in the SCS table on 42 points – seven places and 13 points clear of Chris Kinnear's men – and are currently on a run of five straight league/Trophy wins.
Eastleigh's only previous appearance in the last 16 came three years ago during Ian Baird's time in charge when they lost 3-1 at home to Northern Premier League sensations Chasetown.
But times have changed and Hill's class of 2013/14 have already shown their pedigree, ruthlessly despatching Conference Premier outfit Gateshead 2-0 in the last round with goals by Jamie Collins and Fleetwood.

For the third week running, the number of scheduled West Riding County Amateur League games was reduced by the grounds being saturated and, with water lying on top of many pitches, made the chances of any play impossible.
Tyersal who had eased their Premier Division relegation fears the previous week with a 5-1 home win over Halifax Irish, failed to move further away from demotion when their bottom-placed opponents Hall Green United, without a league win in their previous 14 games gave themselves a glimmer of avoiding the drop with a 2-1 victory.
Arron Gibson gave Tyersal a first-half advantage before Clinton Firth and Stephen Berry netted in the second half for the visitors.
Salts had to settle for a point at Halifax Irish after a 1-1 draw. Sam Waterhouse put Salts ahead in the first period before John Cullen converted a late penalty for the home side to deny Salts victory.
Campion's unbeaten away from home tag was surrendered at second-placed Kirkburton when they were edged out by the odd goal in seven.
Danny Ingham, Damian Sykes, Daniel Morgan and a Campion own goal were on target for the home side, while Fabian Evans, with his first goal since transferring from Tyersal, Liam Charles and Terry Hargreaves netted for Campion.
Salts Reserves hit the goal trail in Division One with an 8-0 home victory over visitors Tingley Athletic.
Richard Magson (3), Tom Boldy (2), Kyle Raper, Mat Murphy and Daryl Foster were Salts Reserves' marksmen.
Overthorpe SC stay at the foot of the table after losing 2-1 at home to Storthes Hall Reserves, with Elliott Brooke scoring a consolation after Luke Robertson and Jordan Smith had netted for Storthes Hall Reserves.
Dudley Hill Rangers moved closer to promotion from Division Two with a 5-1 home success over basement side Bradford FC.
Roman Zurik and Nico Carrucciu both scored twice to add to a fifth from Alex Woolley, while Hedar Khuddamee netted the sole consolation.
The League are fully represented in the latter stages of the local FA District Cup competitions.
Littletown, with a 6-2 home victory over Thornhill, and Lower Hopton, who won 9-0 at Woodkirk, clinched semi-final places in the Heavy Woollen & District FA's Wheatley Cup, while Ovenden West Riding made sure of their place in the last four of the Halifax & District FA Cup with a 12-2 mauling of their hosts Holmefield.
Golcar United and Storthes Hall clinched places in the last eight of the Huddersfield & District FA Cup, Golcar having a 3-2 victory over Huddersfield League side Slaithwaite, while Storthes Hall beat Premier Division rivals Bay Athletic 3-2 in a penalty shoot-out after the two side finished level at 4-4 after extra-time.

Every time my sister wants a "leave of absence" she leaves her kids at my moms house for days. And that's because she lives in another city 4 hours away...ReplyDelete
Oh man I so relate! I've got patellafemoral pain and rotator cuff snapping. I have to start PT but still waiting for insurance to kick in.ReplyDelete
- Momma Teacher LadyAugust 9, 2011 at 6:18 PM
Sounds awful! :(ReplyDelete
Raising kids sounds like hard work. Speaking of shoulders, I have problems with my R shoulder that started in nursing school (2 years ago). Been doing physical therapy for a long time but it is a nagging problem that never goes away. Hope your's is something that heals quickly.ReplyDelete
Thanks Jen. I hope so too. And I hope the MRI results won't be too scary.ReplyDelete

I'm sorry to hear about your shoulder pain. I hope you feel better soon. AnnaReplyDelete
Hi Joy,ReplyDelete
I hope you will find some relief to this shoulder problem soon. My sister-in-law has twins and she is aching all over. Talk about insomnia - when they were babies, she would wake up at 1am and another at 3am and that is how her night would go. The girls are 2 now but it's still a lot of work.
I help her out when I can because I see how tired she is all the time!
Your compensation comes in the form of hugs, kisses, thank yous, painstakingly drawn mother's day cards, smiles and I love yous.ReplyDelete
very interesting take :)ReplyDelete
I had a rotator cuff injury last year that left me with frozen shoulder. After much painful physical therapy I have most of my range of motion back. You are quite wise to take this seriously. As for worker's comp, do your worker's do anything. My "staff" needs to all my laid off for insubordination I think! (just kidding of course)ReplyDelete
sorry, our website is www.flagphil.blogspot.com im your newest follower.ReplyDelete
Oh no! :-( So sorry to hear you're having trouble with your shoulder. That stinks! I actually have fibromyalgia and deal with pain on a daily basis (I don't blog about it because I like to pretend it doesn't exist, and writing about it makes it that much more real... I know, crazy strategy... lol!). But at any rate, I have found chiropractic care to be incredibly helpful for me. I have had to go through several before I found a really good one, but just like with any doc, it takes time to find one that you really click with.ReplyDelete
Chiropractors can be fantastic as doing slight adjustments that do wonders for pain relief. And as a bonus, my chiro works with a massage therapist, so I get a massage every time I'm done getting cracked and crunched (or, ahem, ADJUSTED).
I will keep you in my prayers for an answer to come along! Oh, and I also SWEAR BY the Sleep Number bed. It's AMAZING!!! You can change its firmness depending on how you're feeling on any given day. It's truly a revelation!
Anyway, I'm stopping by from voiceBoks... I'm a little late on my members to remember... you were on my list from yesterday... but I'm making headway! Smiles and blessings, Jenn @Misadventures in Motherhood
Hey Joy,ReplyDelete
I am so sorry about your shoulder. Hope it gets all right soon. I don't have kids but my sister has two of them and she tells how sleep is such a deprived activity sometimes. so what she does is take turns. Yes, when she feels she has reached her "saturation point" of not sleeping, her husbands and kids have a day out while she plans to catch up on her sleep. Her sleep deprivation was actually giving her loads of problems so that had to be taken care of.
Hope you get well soon!
Thanks Hajra! I can imagine how tired and sleep deprived your sister must be. I need a REAL vacation :-))ReplyDelete
Thanks for stopping by Jenn! Oh no, fibro is an altogether condition as I have a friend who has that too. So sorry to hear that. But you're right....the less focus we give to something, the less powerful it becomes. However, I also would have to say that sometimes writing does help. Maybe it'll give you some perspective about it and be therapeutic too ;-)) Good luck and hope to read more from you too!ReplyDelete
Hahahahha, that's funny Shannon.....but EXCELLENT point!!! My staff needs to be fired as well!!ReplyDelete
I need more, bwahahahah!ReplyDelete
Hi Diana! Wow, twins?! I think I would completely go insane if I had multiples, heehehehe....You're an awesome sis-in-law for helping out and I bet it's deeply appreciated! :-))ReplyDelete
Thanks Iggy2925!ReplyDelete
I so loved your thought process through this, Joy! =) There should definitely be a mommy compensation board. You know, I always that it was just my mom who slept half awake all the time, but it definitely sounds like a mommy-related skill! =PReplyDelete
I really hope you feel better soon and that the physical therapy will help!!
Great post Joy. I love your quirky iew of the situation. If we were all to look for compensation for these types of injury we would be millionaires:-)) You left out the damage to our mental health.ReplyDelete
Be careful of that shoulder. Last year I had rotator cuff tendonitis in both shoulders, with one "frozen shoulder" at the same time. Three cortisone shots and a years physiotherapy later they are finally improving. I can lift both hands over my head now. And I can finally do the front crawl when swimming, instead of the breast stroke, back stroke still to be conquered.
Here I go checking "relatable" again. My left shoulder has been doing the exact same thing for months...no one to blame because I don't remember doing anything to it...and I refuse to have it seen about until I can't stand the pain anymore...which will be a while since I have a high tolerance for it...after all, I'm the girl who went 6 weeks before having a choleycystectomy (gall bladder out) thinking it was just food poisoning making me hurt and feel nauseous.ReplyDelete
:D Let me know how it goes compadre...
~cath xo
so maybe I have tendonitis? My loving doctor has been offering to "shoot me up" (his words) and I have been telling him every 4 or 5 months, "over my dead body". Death is looking more appealing every day. Oy, the pain. :DReplyDelete
~cath xo
It was 7 years after the birth of my youngest before I told her "DO NOT get me up in the middle of the night to walk you to the bathroom, you know where it is and the light is always on". Then I became a nurse about ten years after that and worked night shift for about the next 7 or 8 years. :DReplyDelete

10 Health Mistakes Doctors See You Making

It's time to learn to stop worrying and embrace the bomb that is high-frequency trading.
Three years ago today, the trading computers, the machines that enter buy and sell orders, broke down, causing the Dow to plummet about 1,000 points in a very short period of time.
I remember it well. I had come out early for my "Stop Trading" segment with my friend Erin Burnett and the Dow had already started to crash, ultimately plunging about 1,000 points in a matter of minutes.
People may not recall at the time, but there were ferocious riots in Greece at that very moment and the televised brutality in that tinderbox was freaking out investors and traders. So the perception, as the slide began, was that somehow this sudden price decline had to be related to actual events.
At the time, I had been studying the phenomenon called high-frequency trading, where rich trading firms tried to get a millisecond edge on each other and larger buyers and sellers in what we used to call illegal front running, but has since been accepted by the SEC as totally legal and even positive buying and selling that gives the markets more depth and liquidity.
After my studying I came to the conclusion that these high-frequency traders actually did the opposite. While they may look like they are all bidding for stock, giving the illusion that markets were deep so to speak, I thought they are all pretty much set to the same frequency, the one that says when there are many sellers step away or you are going to get hurt.
I had discovered, after a lot of investigation with friends who are intimately involved in supporting this kind of trading, that there was a possibility we could have a quick sudden sharp decline because these buyers would vanish as they are really there to run ahead of other larger orders in a perfectly legal way. If larger firms are scared and back away because of big selling related to events, known and unknown, then these quick buyers would not be able to stand there and support the markets themselves. They would disappear. In fact, they might switch to be on the sell side and exacerbate the decline.
That's precisely what happened that day. Buyers vanished. Stocks like Procter & Gamble (PG) fell 30 points in a matter of minutes. Hundreds of billions of dollars were lost.
When I came out, I quickly realized that this was exactly what I most feared. There were no large buyers trying to buy stocks on the cheap and no high-frequency buyers to support the stocks either. Plus, the New York Stock Exchange, which has specialists designed to slow things down to make fair markets, had become a much smaller factor in trying to stabilize things. Most of these trades happened away from the Big Board.
Anyway, I tried to let people capitalize on it by urging them to put in limit orders above where stocks seemed to be trading on the ticker. People who listened made fortunes. People who panicked and sold lost fortunes.
Subsequently the government attempted to figure out what really happened. But it never could. Instead, it put through some trading restrictions involving percentage declines that would end these kinds of flash crashes. Frankly, I don't know if they really work. Which is why I say, get used to it. These crashes could be the norm.
My advice is that as individuals you should be profiting from the machines. Put limit orders underneath your favorite stocks. Maybe you can buy PG down 30 points next time. Corporate treasurers should make sure your buybacks have orders at every price down, so you can profit for your shareholders. Don't be buffaloed. I have handled many a corporate buyback and you can, indeed, take advantage of the chaos to get better prices.
The government has subsequently and repeated endorsed high-frequency trading as a benign method of making money when trading. It doesn't matter if, as Warren Buffett said this weekend, it is producing no value and distorts the meaning of the exchanges. It is here to stay. Learn to stop hating it, embrace it and profit from it.

Funeral directors CS Bowyer held an open day to celebrate their return to Bradford on Avon after being flooded out on Christmas Eve.
The business has operated from its sister branch in Trowbridge since December 2013.
Nearly 20 coffins had to be thrown away, two cars were ruined and it took three months for the building to dry out.
Funeral director Denise Hamlin said: "It is exciting to be back.
"People have been keen to look around, view our funeral plans and see what we have to offer."
People were able to view the refurbished arranging rooms, the Chapel of Rest and the mortuary, and see the new fleet of cars. There was also the opportunity to ride in the horse-drawn carriage.

E. Paul: Kim Jong Un has a serious medical condition that affects his mental status. When he was 10 years old his parents bought him a Playskool toy chainsaw. Unfortunately, he was playing with it and cut his little penis off leaving a small cockette stub. Since then he has a condition called "Penis Envy". This is why he acts out and tries to be a real grown-up man, taking his frustrations out on everyone else, including the US. Whenever he gets a visit from Dennis Rodman, they always meet in Kim's bedroom along with 10 or so young women. Kim loves watching Rodman use his big tool on the women making them scream. This seems to be one of the few ways Kim can actually have an orgasm. Poor Kim Jong Un.

A high-handed word?
"Mandate" dates back to ancient Roman times. According to Webster's, under Roman law, it was a "commission or contract by which a person undertakes to do something for another." Webster's adds that the person was not paid but did have protection against loss.
Its first root "man" stems from the Latin word manus, meaning hand. Its second root "date" comes from the Latin word dare, meaning give. The two roots combined means "to put into someone's hand."
Webster's first definition of mandate is "an authoritative order or command, usually written."
Words etymologically close to mandate include demand, command and remand.
Three other related words have personal meaning for me this summer as I tackle yard work and home improvement projects. After I whine my way through manual labor under the hot sun, I feel a well-deserved manicure in an air-conditioned beauty salon is nothing short of mandatory.
Some folks consider the mandate requiring individual health insurance a bit, well, high-handed. Check out the editorial below:
A mandate for high-court action
By The Daily Sentinel
Wednesday, August 4, 2010
The individual mandate — that controversial provision of the new health care law that requires nearly every individual to have health insurance or pay a fine — suffered two significant setbacks this week.
The mandate is far from dead, however. But the confusion over its status makes it imperative that the U.S. Supreme Court resolve the issue, sooner rather than later.
The individual mandate is a core provision of health care reform. Unless everyone has insurance, we'll continue to face problems similar to the current situation, in which those with health insurance subsidize those without, as people in the latter group go to emergency rooms that are required by law in most states to treat all comers. Moreover, requiring insurance companies to accept all applicants, regardless of pre-existing conditions, doesn't work unless they can spread the risk among more people, including the many healthy young folks who now decline to buy insurance.
Even so, there is a reasoned argument to be made about the constitutionality of the individual mandate. That's why a number of attorneys general, including Colorado's John Suthers, have joined in a lawsuit challenging whether it's constitutional. Other states have taken on the issue individually, and on Monday, a federal judge issued a preliminary ruling on Virginia's challenge to the individual mandate.
Judge Henry Hudson rejected a request from the Obama administration to simply dismiss the Virginia case. In doing so, Hudson hinted at his views on the issue.
The administration and others argue the mandate is valid under the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution. But Hudson said that claim, "literally forges new ground and extends Commerce Clause power beyond its current high watermark."
That statement represents the view of a single federal judge. A much broader referendum on the individual mandate occurred in Missouri Tuesday, where 71 percent of voters who cast ballots supported a measure that would supposedly nullify the individual mandate in Missouri when Obamacare takes effect.
Colorado could see its own version of the Missouri measure this November. On Friday, the Golden-based Independence Institute turned in more than 130,000 signatures for a constitutional amendment that would block national health care reform in Colorado.
However, because states don't have the authority to overrule acts of Congress, the Missouri vote is seen as largely symbolic. Even so, they indicate continuing public anger at the health care reform bill passed by Congress this year. A variety of recent polls suggest solid majorities of Americans now oppose the health care bill.
It's not hard to understand why. The 2,000-plus pages of the health care bill contain much that is problematic. The anticipated cost — although disputed — is a legitimate cause for concern. For instance, the federal government's Medicare actuary estimated the bill would have a total cost to the federal budget of $251 billion over the next nine years.
There are also some innovative provisions in the bill that may well bring costs down — a multitude of pilot programs that test new ways of delivering services and containing costs.
But the individual mandate remains at the heart of the health care bill. With public opinion and at least one legal ruling against the mandate, it behooves the Supreme Court to take up the issue quickly so the country can determine how to move forward on health care reform.

Test a small area for adhesion before applying Tuff Coat. If adhesion is acceptable, then apply the Tuff Coat to the area.
Q: I previously applied Tuff Coat to my boat and now need to repair an area. Can I apply Tuff Coat over existing product?
A: Yes. If Tuff Coat ever becomes damaged, it can easily be repaired or coated over since the product bonds to itself. To repair, use a utility knife to remove all the damaged Tuff Coat. Then with the knife, make clean, sharp lines to establish a well-defined area for re-coating and eliminate any uneven edges. Sand the area with 36 or 40 grit sandpaper, so the new application can adhere well. Clean and dry the area, then prime with Epoxy Primer CP-10 (item #73216), before re-applying Tuff Coat.
Q: Are there any special requirements for maintaining the Tuff Coat finish?
A: When cleaning Tuff Coat, do no use bleach or other caustic materials. For best results, clean Tuff Coat with a stiff deck brush and a general, all-purpose cleaner, such as Simple Green, TSP, laundry detergent, etc.

I've never seen anyone wear these hideous outfits from "fashion week"
are these like the prototypes of cars you see in car shows which never seem to hit the streets?
Not really. I mean, at least when you see the concept cars, roughly half of them, you say, "Cool! I hope they make that one". What do you think the "Cool!" percentage is for fashion week for the average consumer? LOL.
It does beg the question, though. Why even design these hideous outfits that nobody outside of an asylum would wear? I suppose there is some artistic value, "pushing the envelope" and all that jazz, but there are limits....

The Cheesecake Factory is the latest restaurant chain to join 33 other food companies committed to eliminating gestation-sow stalls from their supply chains. While the Cheesecake Factory is known for its decadent cheese cake offerings, it also features a vast menu with more than 200 items. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) released the announcement on Thursday.
"We have already taken steps to engage our pork suppliers to gain an understanding of their plans for transitioning away from the use of gestation crates and their timeline for doing so," according to The Cheesecake Factory statement. "We are currently working with them to develop plans to eliminate gestation crates from our pork supply chain by a 2022 target date."
The company based in Calabasas Hills, Calif., currently touts "all natural chicken, raised with no added hormones" and "premium beef that is Certified Angus, USDA American Style Kobe Wagyu" on its menu. The Cheesecake Factory operates 173 full-service, casual dining restaurants in 37 states.
"We applaud The Cheesecake Factory for tackling one of the most serious farm animal welfare problems as part of the company's commitment to sustainability," says Josh Balk, HSUS corporate policy director of farm animal protection. "The Cheesecake Factory's commitment to eliminate gestation crates is further indication these cages have no future in the pork industry."
Also this week, HSUS filed a shareholder resolution with Seaboard Foods for the company to provide a semi-annual report on its "monetary and non-monetary contributions and expenditures" for political and charitable purposes.
"The pork industry has devoted resources in attempting to thwart animal welfare reforms, even with industries outside their own. We feel shareholders have the right to know who their company is giving political and charitable funds, and allow shareholders to determine if it's in their best interest," Balk told Pork Network. "As long as the companies within pork industry continue to actively oppose animal welfare reforms, we're going to do our part to expose these activities to their shareholders."

Detroit - Mushrooms have grown so much in popularity that they now require their own day.
Tina Miller, Meijer Healthy Living Advisor, says that April 16 is Mushroom Day.
he adds that this incredibly nutritious vegetable has health benefits often overlooked.
Mushrooms have been gaining popularity and now join tomatoes and broccoli as one of the three most popular vegetables among U.S. consumers.
Mushroom Facts:
Mushrooms are low in sodium, plus their satisfying umami taste counterbalances saltiness and allows for less salt to be used in a dish, without compromising flavor.
Mushrooms are the only fresh fruit or vegetable with vitamin D.
Similar to humans, mushrooms naturally produce vitamin D following exposure to sunlight or a sunlamp: mushrooms' plant sterol - ergosterol - converts to vitamin D when exposed to light. Retailers currently offer a variety of light-exposed mushrooms which can provide close to 400 IU of vitamin D per serving (approximately 4-5 white button or crimini mushrooms, or one portabella). That's impressive since the recommended intake of Vitamin D for adults is 600 IU per day.
Mushrooms are low in calories, fat free, and can be an effective substitute for meats thanks to their hearty and fulfilling nature.
Mushrooms may help reduce cancer risk. Initial studies show compounds in mushrooms suppress the effects of aromatase, an enzyme that helps the body make estrogen. Blocking aromatase is a way physicians reduce circulating estrogen levels, which is important in addressing hormone-dependent breast cancers.
Mushrooms provide B vitamins, including riboflavin, niacin, and pantothenic acid, which help to provide energy by breaking down proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
Within the produce aisle, mushrooms are a leading source of the antioxidant selenium, which helps strengthen the immune system and protect body cells from damage that might lead to chronic diseases. Most American's don't get enough selenium in their daily diet.
Mushrooms are one of the best dietary sources of the antioxidant ergothioneine, which is known for its role in immunity.
Mushrooms are a good source of potassium, which helps control blood pressure. A ½ cup serving of cooked mushrooms provide about 275mg Potassium, while ½ cup raw contains about 100 mg Potassium.
Marvelous Mushroom Recipes:
Mushroom and Peppers Grill-Fry
Serves: 4
8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
2 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 yellow pepper, seeded and cut into chunks

Blog Notes: Latina Edition
Working as the blogger relations manager for PR Newswire, I come across my fair share of great blogs that cover a wide variety of subject matters and interests. And as you might expect, some blogs are better than others. With that in mind and in an effort to highlight the better ones, I do my best to review one of these blogs every day. This week my focus is on Latina blogs. I don't need to tell anyone that the Latino population is on the rise in this country. If you don't believe me take a look at the television or the web (or the Census report). Latino culture is threading its way into the fabric of our culture and from the looks of these five blogs, that's a very good thing. So with that in mind, let's brush up on our Espanol and take a tour through this brief roundup of some of the best Latina blogs I've seen lately.
Media Moves is the blog of record for the growing representation of Latinos in the media. If there's a hiring, a firing or any other move in the media concerning a Latino, this is the blog to check out. If I were to pitch this blog, I'd look for any stories concerning Latino individuals in the media, as well as anything to do with Spanish-language properties such as Univision and Telemundo. Check out the full review here.
LaCosmopolatina is a lifestyle blog for Latino women. This is a blog for those looking to strike a balance between their aspirations and their heritage. But don't get too caught up in the Latino part. This is a blog about travel, health, beauty, social media, entertainment, gadgets, relationships and just about everything else under the sun. It just so happens to be written by and have an audience of Latinas. Keep that in mind when pitching. And whatever you do, don't use the terms "spicy" or "caliente." Trust me. Check out the full review here.
Many parents out there are striving to raise their children to be not only bi-lingual, but also bi-cultural. Spanglish Baby is the blog for these parents. But really, it's a blog, and ideally a valuable resource, for all parents. This is about families. This is about people trying to raise their kids as best they can. If I were to pitch this blog, I'd look for something on parenting, families or children. Check out the full review here.
Mi Blog Es Tu Blog is as inviting of a blog as the title sounds. Walk in and see for yourself. This is Laura Marinez's blog. And it moves around a lot. It can be at once serious and then silly and light in the next moment. If I were pitching this blog, I might look for something to do with Latinos, but I'd also keep in mind that Laura is a very accomplished journalist. Check out the full review here.
Click Latina is one woman's take on entertainment, social media, news, fashion and lifestyle, told through the lens of her Latino upbringing. She also does quite a bit of product reviewing. If I were to pitch this blog, I wouldn't look for Latino-first items necessarily. It's written by a Latino woman, yes. But there's more to it than that. Check out the full review here.
That's all for now. In the meantime, if there's a blog I should be reviewing, drop me a line or a note in the comments, and I'll take a look. Until next time…
Author Tom Hynes is PR Newswire's manager of blogger relations. And as you may have guessed, he has a twitter account.

Police in the sector that covers Devizes, Marlborough and Pewsey have given a cautious welcome to figures that there was no recorded instances of violent crime between February 9 and 15.
Inspector Matt Armstrong said they indicated the success of local policing policy, though he was aware there may be incidents that have not been reported to officers.
He said: "This is a combination of effective policing, partnership engagement and the general good behaviour of the public. I have never in my career known an area not to have one or two instances of violent crime.
"We are seeing an overall reduction in violent crime across the county but it is very unusual to have none at all. It should be celebrated. It means fewer victims and less drain on our resources."

Leyland: Coke's success essential for Tigers
DETROIT -- It was just one inning, but Phil Coke's relief appearance was one of the bright sides of Saturday's loss for Tigers manager Jim Leyland.
Leyland wants to get his lefty reliever on a roll. To hear him say it, he has to.
"He's important for us; if we're going to be good, he's going to have to be good," Leyland said. "At the end of the day, in the grand scheme of things, he's going to have to be good for us. He's a key component."
He does not mean just against left-handed hitters.
"I don't care if they're ambidextrous," Leyland said. "I don't care how they hit."
The three batters Coke retired in Saturday's eighth inning were two left-handed hitters and a switch-hitter. He got away with a pitch to Justin Morneau, who flied out to center, before getting switch-hitter Chris Colabello and lefty Chris Parmelee to strike out on offspeed pitches -- Colabello on a changeup, Parmelee on the slider.
The latter has subtly been a different pitch for Coke. He is throwing fewer sliders now (23.5 percent, according to fangraphs.com) than last season (37.1 percent), and he is throwing it a few miles per hour slower. He is throwing it for a higher strike percentage, according to STATS, but getting fewer swings and misses.
"I think he has to complete the mission," Leyland said Saturday before the outing. "I think he throws two good ones, and then he'll throw one that's not so good."
Coke's splits, meanwhile, are starting to drop, small sample size as it is. After a miserable 2012 season against right-handed hitters (.396 average, three home runs in 101 at-bats) and a rougher start this year, Coke has tempered the numbers a bit, allowing opponents a 10-for-29 performance with four doubles and a home run from the right side.
Left-handed hitters, meanwhile, are 3-for-19 with a double, three walks and seven strikeouts against him.

Jonathan Davies remains on course to play a part in Wales' RBS 6 Nations campaign as he continues his fightback from injury.
The British and Irish Lions centre has had just 40 minutes of rugby since he damaged a pectoral muscle during Wales' home defeat against South Africa last November.
Wales have also lost Davies' Scarlets centre partner Scott Williams (shoulder injury) from their Six Nations plans, and wing George North was moved into midfield for last Friday's title-reviving 27-6 victory over France.
England are next up for the reigning Six Nations champions at Twickenham on March 9, and Davies hopes to be in contention.
"His fitness is excellent, and he has been working incredibly hard with the conditioners," Wales assistant coach Shaun Edwards said.
"He just needs to work on his match fitness a bit and gain some confidence.
"It is that type of injury where he can have the confidence to put his shoulder into a tackle.
"But it would not surprise me if he got some game-time this weekend (for Scarlets)."
Lock Alun-Wyn Jones, meanwhile, has trained with Wales this week after missing the French clash due to a foot infection.
Triple Crown-chasing England have also had an injury issue in the wake of last Saturday's impressive victory over Ireland, with number eight Billy Vunipola ruled out of the tournament remainder due to an ankle injury.
Vunipola is now set to be replaced by Gloucester's former Scarlets number eight Ben Morgan against Wales.
"Ben Morgan is a very similar player to Billy, and they are almost changing like for like," Edwards added.
"Ben is a bit taller and probably more of an open-field runner, but both of them are difficult to tackle.
"The last time we played England at Twickenham, he (Morgan) along with Manu Tuilagi, were the two players who broke our tackles.
"So we will practice diligently to try and stop Ben, particularly from kick returns, where he is very good."
England's 13-10 triumph against Ireland gained rave reviews in many quarters, while they have an added incentive in 12 days' time of trying to avenge last season's 30-3 Millennium Stadium drubbing at Wales' hands.
"They played very well against Ireland, and I thought they were very resilient," Edwards said.
"England defended resolutely, and there was a bit of magic from the Quins (Harlequins) trio of Chris Robshaw, Danny Care and Mike Brown, who I have a great respect for and will have to watch.
"Each game is a different challenge, but you always need a strong defence at Twickenham.
"You can't really go to England and think you can score 25 or 30 points. When you get chances you need to take them, because at Twickenham you won't get a lot.
"The last time we went there in 2012 it was a tight game which was decided by Scott Williams' turnover play.
"We are aware of the need for good discipline. It was a lot better on Friday against France, and that was one of the reasons we won the game."

Intrinsic Safety Supports North Sea Retrofit
Efficient use of intrinsic safety enables quick retrofit.
By Ian Pinkney
BP is the biggest operator and largest oil producer in the North Sea, producing both oil and gas from a number of different offshore locations. BP has been involved in the North Sea since the mid-1960s when oil and gas exploration and production began. In 1970, BP discovered the two-billion-barrel Forties oilfield, confirming the North Sea as a globally significant oil and gas province. Our terminals at Dimlington and Easington in England process gas from the Southern North Sea (SNS) fields. The terminals' maximum handling capacity is approximately 300 million cubic feet of gas per day.
BP Exploration was looking to replace an obsolete DCS used at the BP gas import terminal and on the BP Hyde platform. The Hyde field is located in the SNS and was the first gas field in this area to be developed using horizontal wells. Production from the Hyde field and from the NW West Sole field is processed and metered at the surface facilities on the Hyde platform. After processing, gas is then flowed into the West Sole system via a 12.5-km, 14-inch pipeline.
The existing DCS at the normally unmanned installation (NUI) on the Hyde platform was old and had several problems, most critically, its tendency to drop communications between the platform and the terminal frequently. This caused shutdowns and required a platform system re-set at considerable cost and inconvenience, as intervention was required via helicopter and resulted in substantial lost production revenue.
Finding a suitable replacement for the DCS involved facing a number of stiff challenges – the ability to find and implement the replacement system within a very tight timeframe being the most significant. BP's total project completion schedule was eight weeks from start to finish.
The system would need to include approximately 450 I/O points and would need both intrinsically safe (IS) and non-IS interfaces. In addition, the system needed to overcome the dropped communications problems. The communications architecture would require the ability to handle both Ethernet and microwave signals under very tight bandwidth/speed constraints.
Why IS?
It is BP SNS policy to use IS whenever new control loops are added due to maintenance factors. Although we were not replacing any loops at the Hyde platform DCS replacement, the I/O had to be like for like.
Maintenance factors favoring IS include the ability to modify and maintain I/O without removing power from the installation or risking the loss of control of the process.
BP investigated explosion-proof enclosures as an alternative to IS and rejected that option because the enclosures are expensive, heavy and difficult to work on. We also found that maintenance of equipment under power is much more difficult with explosion-proof enclosures.
When maintenance is required, our procedures require us to get a permit issued and to de-classify the area to assure it is not hazardous before work can begin. When this is not possible, the equipment and possibly the entire process has to be shut down before maintenance can be performed, and shut downs are obviously something we really want to avoid.
Meeting Our IS Challenges
BP worked with its approved systems integrator, Systems Integration & Automation (SIA). SIA in turn recommended a MOST control solution from MTL. SIA had been evaluating the technology for a year. After review, it seemed that the MOST process control system would solve our challenges and provide a number of important benefits.
This map shows the location of the BP Hyde platform in the North Sea, east of Easington, U.K., with associated pipeline links. The Hyde platform control system was upgraded for this project.
The system could be mounted directly in the control/equipment room. The system included integrated IS and standard I/O. The ability of a single controller to interface to both IS and non-IS I/O is particularly useful in this application because it dramatically reduces the overall cost and best utilizes limited cabinet space.
NUI Platforms are built with very limited spare capacity, and fitting in a new control system without first removing the old one requires a solution that has a very small form factor. MTL MOST provided this solution by integrating the field terminations, IS isolators and I/O cards into one unit. Furthermore, the combining of IS and non-IS units on a single control platform backplane prevented the need to have multiple backplanes systems and cabinets with unnecessary spare capacity.
A single MOST Control platform can interface to both non-IS and IS I/O through the use of a railbus isolator that connects the non-IS and IS sections of the system. The railbus isolator provides the internal communications bus for the IS modules and limits the energy available to the IS interface section of the system. It also provides the required physical separation of 50 mm (two inches) between non-IS and IS circuits.
The MTL MOST system IS I/O modules cost more than their non-IS I/O modules, but are significantly less expensive than the alternative solution of non-IS I/O modules and external IS interfaces. The MOST system IS I/O typically has 8 or 16 channels per module, the same as their non-IS I/O modules.
Other Control System Benefits
In addition to accommodating IS, the MOST I/O approach would allow for a last-minute changeover from the existing system to the new system, thereby minimizing downtime. The MOST system would also provide the robust redundancy we required for our platform application.

The ice cream from Bi-Rite Creamery is regularly cited as being among the best in San Francisco–an honor that we value tremendously. All of our ice cream is handmade in small batches with organic dairy from Straus Family Creamery, and we're always working to come up with unique, fun, interesting flavors – some of them available year round, some just as seasonal specialties.
In the latter camp are two ice cream flavors that are favorites among both our guests and our staff: Eggnog and Candy Cane. Our Eggnog Ice Cream is super rich and creamy with a strong kick of brandy and nutmeg (this flavor contains alcohol). Our Candy Cane Ice Cream, eagerly anticipated all year, has a vanilla and peppermint base with chunks of minty candy cane. The richness of the vanilla offsets the sweet accent of the candy cane flavor for a balanced treat with just the right amount of sweetness. It also pairs beautifully with our Mint Chip ice cream.
All our confections and baked goods are hand-made fresh at the Creamery, perfect for enjoying yourself or as gift options. Our Peppermint Bark is made with dark chocolate from our local friends at San Francisco-based TCHO Chocolate and topped with a layer of crunchy peppermint pieces, while its cousin Toffee Bark, made with TCHO's milk chocolate, is topped with chunks of house-made almond toffee.
Perhaps the most treasured treat from the Creamery this season is our Bûche de Noël. Kris and Anne, owners of Bi-Rite Creamery, spent weeks perfecting this gorgeous traditional Christmas cake. It features chocolate roulade with milk chocolate butter cream and chocolate glaze, and is decorated with adorable meringue mushrooms, pistachios and sparkling candied rosemary. This cake really is almost too beautiful to eat. Almost. It also makes a lovely New Year's Eve dessert, paired with a special bottle of champagne or sparkling wine! Pre-order it and our other holiday desserts, along with your complete holiday meal, here.
Last but certainly not least is our Box of Holiday Cookies. This hand-decorated assortment of a dozen festive holiday cutout cookies includes frosted smiling gingerbread men and sparkling gingerbread stars, along with sugar cookies and other holiday faves, all made with love in our Bakery.
Our Creamery and Markets are full of truly special desserts and treats to share with friends and family. Come on in for recommendations! We look forward to helping you to select the perfect finishing touch for your holiday meals, or the ideal gift for friends and family. Happy Holidays!

Yes, this is a Bob's Red Mill blog, but I wanted to share something about myself with you because part of being Bob's Red Mill is helping people deal with food allergies, celiac disease and other diet-related health conditions and providing delicious foods to make eating fun again.
Something that I've only mildly hinted at on this blog and covered up well in my daily life is that I am allergic to dairy products. Yes, I said it. Gasp! I know I'm not alone and many of you are thinking "me too!" No, I am not lactose intolerant, but thanks for asking. I have an allergy. My body reacts the same way to cow's milk as many other food allergies. My reactions are fairly mild compared to those with severe food allergies. I don't go into anaphylactic shock, in fact I can pretty much move on with a good dose of Benadryl. Fortunately, my reactions are pretty much limited to any direct ingestion of dairy products like milk, ice cream, white sauces, etc. My body doesn't really notice on the surface when I eat baked goods with milk products and hard cheeses. That doesn't mean I'm not reacting, it just means that I cannot detect the reaction.
My resolution this year was to stay clear of all dairy, which has been very difficult, let me tell you! Not only is it hard to avoid dairy when eating out and about, but it's hard to remember to check the ingredients in things I normally buy- like cold cereal or bread. I resolved to just do my best a few weeks ago. Sometimes, a little bit gets in and goes unregistered in my system. This is what works for me and a few people I know with allergies similar to mine. I absolutely do not recommend it for anyone with severe food allergies or celiac disease.
Fortunately, over the years there have been better and better products made to help those of us with food allergies eat well. There are endless options for dairy-free ice cream and milk made from everything from nuts and seeds to rice and oats! I've been lucky to have grown up learning how to eat well with my food allergies. Yes, I miss some things, but there are so many wonderful other things that I haven't spent more than a fleeting moment thinking on what I miss.
When I received a copy of Allergic Girl: Adventures in Living Well with Food Allergies, I dug right in. I was sure that it would help me navigate my world a little better and did it ever deliver! Sloane has inspired me to take my allergies more seriously and to be a better advocate for myself. She has helped me realize just who is an ally in my life and who just "doesn't get it." This book is full of great tips for dating and traveling, as well as, eating out with your boss and eating well at celebrations. It has sample letters for prospective students to share with colleges and tips for navigating a buffet line without a reaction. We're giving away a copy of her book here. For anyone who has a food allergy or is dealing with celiac disease, this book is endlessly helpful and inspiring. I don't say it often, but this book comes with my highest recommendation.

A Rock-Solid Rail
One of the secular trends I cover often here is the impressive ramp-up in energy production in the U.S. Driven by improving shale technology, domestic oil production is on track to grow to some 8 million barrels a day by the end of the year -- up from around 5 million barrels a day in 2008. This development carries many positive catalysts for high-yielding energy-infrastructure plays. For instance, the volume of oil transported by rail has risen more than 40% in 2012, which drove my recent recommendation of American Railcar Industries (ARII).
Another beneficiary of this increase is GATX (GMT), which is the second-largest lessor of railcars in the world. 50% of the company's volume is in tank cars, such as those used to move oil from the shale regions to refiners, and it has just under one-quarter of the tank-car leasing market. The company also has very deep relationships with its customers: The average tenure of its top 10 customers is more than 50 years....284 more words left in this article.

The Day Ahead: No Sign of 'Dumb Money' Just Yet
Based on some anecdotal observations of mine over the weekend, it seems apparent that the "dumb money" has yet to find its way back into the stock market. (Note: I hate that term, as it talks down to folks who truly need help with the market -- but it helps for brevity's sake.)
First off, out of the three Super Bowl parties I attended, there was no talk about the Dow at 14,000 -- and nobody bragged about hot stock picks from the country club card room. Ditto for the five people I polled at a particularly robust food section at Target (TGT). (In fact, one lost soul didn't know what the Dow was. I gave him my business card.) Finally, in response to my Men's Health column, a reader who had "never bought a stock before" asked if they should do so now that the market is rising....565 more words left in this article.

Conservationists have derided the Queensland government for lifting a ban on mining shale oil, saying that development of the industry poses a massive risk to the state's environment.
The Newman government said Wednesday it would lift a 20-year moratorium on shale oil mining imposed in 2008 by the former Bligh Labor government.
"The industry has the potential to create thousands of new jobs in the construction phase along, and provide royalties and other economic benefits for our regional communities and the broader economy," Natural Resources and Mines Minister Andrew Cripps said in a statement.
Queensland has about 90 percent of Australia's known shale oil reserves, with the current resource considered capable of producing 22 billion barrels of oil.
The policy change means that a Queensland Energy Resources trial plant at Gladstone, which has been running for several years, can now move into full commercial operation. Other entrants are invited to scale up for commercial production.
The Queensland government noted that developers must comply with environmental regulations, while new entrants will need to prove their shale oil extraction technologies in trials.
An existing 20-year moratorium on developing the McFarlane shale oil deposit near Proserpine would also continue until 2028.
Green groups reacted in anger Wednesday, saying that shale oil mining is a dirty industry that uses destructive processes.
The Australian Conservation Foundation said through a Twitter post that shale oil was a "1980s energy option", while Lock the Gate Alliance noted that the decision to lift the moratorium on shale oil is a "reckless move that will endanger the Queensland environment."
"This decision is in line with the Newman government's support for other high-polluting technologies such as coal seam gas, shale gas and underground coal gasification," Lock the Gate Alliance's President Drew Hutton said in a statement.
Adam Stone, Queensland Green's lead senate candidate, condemned the Newman government's decision Wednesday.

Bert Stahr | Feb. 14, 2013The Greens and Lock the Gates people have no idea of what oil shale is, the difference between oil shale and shale oil, how its processed or what it consists of. They are of the same ilk that want to stop (for instance) stem cell research. Most of them would fit in well with the zombies in our society.

Giants may keep 13 pitchers when Mijares returns
SAN FRANCISCO -- Manager Bruce Bochy believes the Giants' bullpen is doing so well that it is presenting a problem, albeit a good one.
When reliever Jose Mijares returns from the bereavement list, Bochy will have a tough decision in picking the player who no longer fits on the active roster. As a result, Bochy is considering going with 13 pitchers. The Giants currently have 12.
The decision will come down to how the starting pitchers are faring and how deep they're pitching into games, Bochy said.
"What's more important for us right now?" Bochy said, sharing the question he'll soon face. "Having an extra pinch-hitter, or have an extra pitcher?"
In its last 14 games, San Francisco's bullpen has notched a 1.44 ERA. This season, it owns the second-best ERA (2.44) in the National League behind Atlanta.

SHEPHERDSVILLE - A special judge has ordered that the McDonald's Corp. pay a young woman over $2.4 million to pay for attorneys who represented her in a strip search civil case against the restaurant chain.
Special Circuit Judge Tom McDonald ruled that the attorney fees and other costs associated with the representation of Louise Ogborn were justified.
The parties were in Bullitt Circuit Court in September to argue and to justify the amounts requested.

I once read a sutta in which the Buddha said that all beings trapped in endless cyclic existence had at one time or another been one's own mother. I believe that it was a short sutta. Now I'm not even sure which Nikaya the sutta was in. Is anyone familiar with this discourse?
At the moment I am really feeling the truth of "I too am subject to old age." Stay with me, memory!

I stopped by target today to get some shirts for this 100+ degree weather we've been dealing with. Just wondering if anyone has tried them on the course yet. I've been using cotton white T's only, but after nearly passing out a few times I decided to try some of these champion shirts.
They claim it is "Lightweight wicking fabric to help keep you cool and dry" on the tags. I wore one today in the car with no A/C and so far I'm not sweating near as much from my armpits or forehead.
I'll be testing them on the course tomorrow, should be 100+ again which is perfect for a test comparison. They were $10 at target, but I had to get a XL as opposed to a L that I usually wear.

Tradable Pockets Amid the Jitters
We have some nervous action Monday morning, but speculative money is staying busy with the likes of Netflix (NFLX), Amazon (AMZN) and Facebook (FB). Breadth is running at 1,850 gainers to 3,200 decliners, but I am seeing pockets of positive action. Precious metals are the primarily laggard, and there isn't any notable sector leadership.
One group that's doing well is mortgage-servicing. Nationstar Mortgage (NSM) has purchased a large portfolio, and that is goosing its estimates and bringing in some chaser action; osther companies, such as Walter Investment (WAC) and Newcastle Investment (NCT), are benefiting as well. I'm nibbling a little at Newcastle, which is a real estate investment trust that handles some of Nationstar's accounts and has a 9.8% dividend yield. The company plans to spin off its residential assets, and that is helping to drive the action....130 more words left in this article.

State's Largest-ever Desert Bighorn Sheep Release Completed in Big Bend
VAN HORN – In the largest desert bighorn sheep relocation operation in Texas Parks and Wildlife history, 95 of the high country animals have been trapped this month in the mountains north of Van Horn and released some 190 miles away on Big Bend Ranch State Park.
Seventy-six ewes and 19 rams were captured by helicopter on several private ranches and a TPWD Wildlife Management Area, in the Beach, Sierra Diablo and Baylor mountain ranges of Culberson County and transported by trailer to the 300,000-acre state park in Presidio County.
The wildlife restoration operation began Dec. 12 at the civic center in Van Horn with a briefing for the 60 TPWD personnel and volunteers with the Texas Bighorn Society and Sul Ross University and continued through Dec. 17. The sheep were released about 20 miles west of Lajitas on FM 170, the river road, near Panther Canyon.
Last year, 46 bighorns (12 rams and 34 ewes) were captured by helicopter at Elephant Mountain Wildlife Management Area and moved to Big Bend Ranch State Park on Dec. 21-22, 2010. Of those sheep, the first to be introduced to the state park, more than 30 are known to be alive.
"If most sheep survive, we may now have close to a sustainable population on the state park," said Alpine-based Billy Tarrant, TPWD Wildlife Division district leader.
The restoration of bighorn sheep in Texas has been a conservation success story.
"Back in the 1800s, we believe the Trans-Pecos supported around 3,000 bighorn sheep," says Froylan Hernandez, TPWD's bighorn sheep program leader. "But by the 1960s, unregulated hunting and disease introduced through domestic sheep had made the bighorn extinct in Texas."
The last indigenous bighorn was sighted in the Sierra Diablo Mountains in October 1958, he said.
"Today, thanks to restocking that began more than 50 years ago, we estimate the herd has increased to half its historic size and half its historic range."
TPWD's goal is to get the Texas herd back to approximately 3,000, with colonies in most of the 16 mountain ranges with unoccupied critical habitat that sheep once inhabited. Bighorns can now be found in eight of those ranges, Hernandez said.
According to Hernandez, the removal of surplus sheep from the Baylor, Beach and Sierra Diablo Mountains will benefit the remaining herd in those three ranges, estimated at 800 animals, by reducing browsing pressure. In addition to supplementing the existing bighorn population in Big Bend Ranch State Park, the development of a robust herd in other areas also will allow future restocking efforts.
During the just-completed operation, TPWD used a private helicopter service to capture the sheep. When the pilot spotted a desirable sheep, a crew member used a gun that fired weighted nets to entangle the animal. Two "muggers" then jumped out of the low-hovering helicopter to blindfold and hobble the sheep, which was then placed a sling.
Once that was done, the helicopter took the sheep to a staging area where ground crews carried the animal to a check-in station where veterinarians took biological samples and wildlife biologists fitted some of the sheep with radio tracking collars. Then they were carefully loaded into trailers for the trip to Big Bend Ranch.
"Bighorn sheep are a flagship species," Hernandez said. "Managing them well benefits all other species which share their habitat."
