Kingstonian boss Alan Dowson thanked striker Ryan Moss for proving him wrong to put his side back on course for a top five Ryman Premier League finish.
The 26-year-old, who slotted home a second half penalty in Saturday's 1-1 draw with AFC Hornchurch, came off the bench to add a brace to Josh Casey's opener in Tuesday's 3-0 win at Bury Town.
Dowson had left Moss - deployed as a lone striker in recent weeks - out of the starting line-up to give the 23-goal former Hampton & Richmond Borough frontman a rest.
"Ryan has been magnificent for us recently in helping turn our form around," said the manager.
"He didn't agree with the decision to leave him out on Tuesday, but he reacted in the best possible way and that's what you want to see.
"We changed the formation to tighten things up. It was a case of just getting a result from somewhere to bring that confidence back.
"Now it has I hope we can kick on."
Dowson, who takes his men to Lewes on Saturday, has signed Daniel Pappoe, Adam Brice, Steve Laidler and Andre Da Costa in recent weeks.
And the manager, whose team are now level on points with fifth-placed AFC Hornchurch, is pleased with the impact the new arrivals have had on the rest of the squad.
"We'd given the players a talking to, we'd trained them harder and we'd treated them carefully, but nothing else had worked to turn things around ," he added.
"But the squad has responded to the new players coming in and we are looking to bring in more – in particular another striker."


text: Doctor believed in confronting death By Travis Crum February 19, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Dr. Bruce Foster believed death was an end to physical suffering and specialized in helping his terminally ill patients overcome their fear of it. He lightly referred to death as "graduating."Detectives continue to investigate what led Foster, 63, to apparently shoot his wife, Marlise, 64, and then himself Monday at their home along Flairwood Drive in Cross Lanes.Cpl. Brian Humphreys, of the Kanawha County Sheriff's Department, said Tuesday detectives are tracing who owns the revolver used in the apparent murder-suicide.The couple each were killed by one gunshot to the head. Detectives found the revolver in Foster's hand. There wasn't a suicide note or anything like it found, Humphreys said."Investigators are not releasing the possible motives at this time as the investigation is ongoing," Humphreys said.Neighbors said the couple, although private, appeared to be very much in love and never showed signs of fighting or violence. A neighbor and co-workers found Foster's arm draped over his wife's body after not hearing from him since Saturday.Bruce Foster was chairman of ethics at Thomas Memorial Hospital. Marlise Foster managed his office. Ernest Trent, a former patient and friend, said Bruce always talked fondly of Marlise, but never discussed her ongoing health problems. Neighbors said she suffered from kidney trouble, had only one kidney for most of her life, and had been ill for the past couple of months.Trent, 61, of St. Albans, believes Foster wanted to help his ill wife "graduate" from her pain and suffering.Trent met Foster about four years ago because his father, Raymond Trent, was also his patient. He remembered him as a jolly doctor who was always laughing and decorating his South Charleston office with cartoons and humorous quotes.Foster helped Ernest Trent with his ongoing diabetes complications and later when the elder Trent's health worsened. "He was real good to my dad. He would say, 'Ray, when it's time to graduate you let me know,'" Trent said. "Dad kind of looked at him, and [Foster] said, 'You know what I'm talking about, don't you, Ray? I don't want you to suffer.'"Later, Foster asked Ernest Trent to appear in his DVD "Facing Your Future," a tool to help grieving families and those making end-of-life decisions.Trent said he talked about his elderly father and his stepson, who died in 2000 after being stuck by a vehicle. He urged families to be realistic when it comes to end-of-life decisions and to not dwell on grief."When you feel you've done all you can do, it's time to let go," he said. Raymond Trent died in 2011."By me sharing my experience with the doctor and my personal relationship with him, when Daddy did pass, it was easier on me," Ernest Trent said. "I had already relinquished the pain in myself and began healing before he passed away."Trent said he was shocked by the Fosters' deaths and never would have suspected that Bruce Foster would commit suicide."You never got that indication whatsoever ... that he could do something like [it]," Trent said.Officials at Thomas Memorial Hospital released a statement Tuesday about the Fosters' deaths."Dr. Foster volunteered at Thomas as the chair of the Ethics Committee for 19 years. During that time, he helped patients, families and health-care providers resolve medical decision conflicts with a balance of compassion and candor," said spokeswoman Paige Johnson. "Our thoughts and prayers are with their families and friends, his patients and his office staff during this most difficult time." Foster's office was in South Charleston, near the hospital.Reach Travis Crum at email@example.com or 304-348-5163.

Bad weather forced helicopters to abandon their search for a Sukhoi Superjet 100 reportedly carrying 50 people that disappeared from radar screens during a demonstration flight from Jakarta, Indonesia, on May. The Indonesian Search and Rescue Agency has dispatched ground teams in coordination with local police and military units into the mountainous terrain where officials suspect the aircraft crashed. The 95-seat regional jet went missing some 20 minutes into its demonstration flight, as it headed southeast toward the vicinity of the 7,254-foot Mount Salak in West Java.
According to the Russia Today (RT) news service, ATC granted the crew permission to descend to 6,000 feet from 10,000 feet. Moments later controllers lost radio contact.
The aircraft's arrival in Indonesia marked the fourth stop in a six-country Asian demonstration tour. It had already visited Pakistan, Kazakhstan and Myanmar and schedules called for it to go to Laos and Vietnam over the next few days.
In a written statement, Superjet International, the Venice, Italy-based Western sales and support entity for the SSJ100, confirmed that the airplane had completed an earlier demonstration flight on Wednesday without any technical problems. It added that the crew did not report any failures before the aircraft disappeared from radar screens.
Superjet International confirmed that the flight crew consisted of SSJ100 chief pilot Alexander Yablontsev and copilot Alexander Kocketkov. Yablontsev has flown more than 10,000 hours and commanded the first flight of the SSJ100's first prototype.
The airplane in question, MSN 95004, flew for the first time on July 25, 2009, and had accumulated more than 800 flight hours during 500 flights. According to Superjet International, it has never experienced a "serious" technical problem.

I'm not saying the NBA is or isn't rigged, but its a slow basketball day and figured it is an interesting concept to at least think about.

text: U.S. builders boost spending 1.4 percent in October By The Associated Press December 3, 2012 Story Share The Associated Press Ford Smith works on a new home under construction in Chicago, Oct. 11. U.S. builders increased their spending on construction projects in October by the largest amount in five months, led by a surge in housing. WASHINGTON -- U.S. builders increased their spending on construction projects in October by the largest amount in five months, led by a surge in housing.The Commerce Department said Monday that construction spending rose 1.4 percent in October. It was the largest gain since a 1.7 percent increase in May.The increase raised spending to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $872.1 billion. That is nearly 17 percent higher than a 12-year low hit in February 2011.Still, even with the gain, the level of spending on construction remains only about half of what's considered healthy.Housing construction spending jumped 3 percent in October. Nonresidential building rose 0.3 percent. The government said Superstorm Sandy, which hit in late October, had only a minimal effect on the figures.Sales of new homes fell slightly in October, dragged lower by steep declines in the Northeast partly related to Superstorm Sandy. New-home sales were still 17 percent higher in October than the same month a year ago.Strength in home building has been one of the bright spots for the economy this year. But overall construction is still being offset by weakness in commercial real estate and tight state and local government budgets.The strong 3 percent increase in housing construction spending in October left the rate of annual spending 19 percent above the level of October 2011.The housing market appears to be withstanding fears that the economy will go over a "fiscal cliff" next year without a budget deal to prevent tax increases and spending cuts from kicking in, said Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics. Dales noted that residential spending during the past three months has jumped at a 29 percent annual rate. The pace of spending on nonresidential construction is now 10.7 percent above its level a year ago. Spending on hotel construction and shopping centers both rose in October.Government construction spending barely rose, to a level that's still below its rate of a year ago. Public projects have been under stress because of budget problems at all levels of government.Federal construction spending rose 10.7 percent in October. But spending fell slightly among state and local governments.From July through September, residential construction grew at an annual rate of 14.2 percent. Housing construction is on track to contribute to economic growth this year -- the first time that's happened in the five years since the housing bubble burst.Though new homes represent only a fraction of the housing market, they have an out-size impact on the economy. Each home built creates an average of three jobs for a year and generates about $90,000 in tax revenue, according to statistics from the National Association of Home Builders.Builders are increasingly confident that the housing recovery will endure. A measure of their confidence rose in November to the highest level in six and a half years. And builders broke ground on new homes and apartments in October at the fastest pace in more than four years. But there are factors dragging on the housing recovery. Many Americans, particularly first-time homebuyers, are unable to qualify for a mortgage. And many can't afford larger down payments that are being required by banks.While housing has strengthened this year, the broader economy has lagged behind. The government reported last week that overall economic growth increase to an annual rate of 2.7 percent in the July-September quarter, up from 1.3 percent in the April-June quarter.But through the first nine months of this year, economic growth has averaged just 2 percent, far below what is needed to make a significant dent in unemployment.Many analysts think growth is slowing in the current October-December quarter to below 2 percent. The disruptions caused by Superstorm Sandy weighed on consumer spending in October.And many consumers and businesses may also be worried about automatic tax increases and spending cuts that are scheduled to kick in next year, if Congress and the Obama administration fail to reach a deal before then to avert them.

Hi Helene,ReplyDelete
I deleted your comment only to be sure people don't see it and think that's the e-mail address without reading farther. The address is correct the way I have it. I sent my entry to Becky at that address and heard back from her. (You have to replace AT with @ and DOT with . of course. I use those so spammers can't grab the host's e-mail addresses and start sending them stuff.) Sorry you're having problems, but I don't know why your e-mail isn't going through. If you still can't get through, send me your link and I'll be glad to forward it.
Hello Kalyn,ReplyDelete
finally I was successful. I´m already very keen on all these other entries.
Thanks for helping me.
Yum, yes. I love cabbage. In soups, stir-fries and even roasted with veggies. It's very healing, too. Thanks for the fun round-up of cabbage recipes! They all look [so!] tasty.ReplyDelete
What wonderful cabbage recipes!ReplyDelete
And I need a few. When I buy a cabbage I usually have to plan on using it for at least 4 meals - the cabbages are big and we are only two...
I'm definitly downloading a few of these.
Happy St. Paddy's
Somehow I think that Spicy Braised Cabbage with Italian Sausage is about to become our St Patty's dinner. Thanks again for the good stuff here.ReplyDelete
Karina, Katie, Tanna, happy St. Patrick's Day. I'm glad there are so many other people who think cabbage is an interesting topic! I just love it.ReplyDelete
Perfect post for the day befroe St. Patrick's Day, the traditional corned beef and cabbage day in the U.S., and just what I've been looking for. I only recently discovered the joys and versatility of cabbage.ReplyDelete
what wonderful cabbage entries!ReplyDelete
Btw, I have a silly question for you....where do I find dried cannellini beans? I tried my local grocery store and they didn't stock it....where do you buy yours?
What a tip toe through the cabbage patch. Great idea....hmmmm?ReplyDelete
Mimi, cabbage is great, isn't it!ReplyDelete
Nabeela, Salt Lake has an Italian grocery where I can get dried cannelini beans, but lots of time I just get what the grocery store calls "small white beans" instead. I think they are fine.
Sandy, hope you found something that looks interesting.
We tend to eat a lot of cabbage in our house. I hated it as a kid, but when you know how to use it, it's well worth the effort.ReplyDelete

Happy St. Patrick's day!! I absolutely love corned beef and cabbage but alas, it's not available here so I have to wait until I go home to get my fix. Coming from an Irish background, it was a family favorite and now I am passing this family tradition onto my children who, by the way, can't get enough of it! Cheer!ReplyDelete
Heavens! ALL of the cabbage recipes are must-try ones! Thank you for rounding all of those up, and for mentioning me. I want to try your recipe for corned beef and veggies, too. I'm making that today.ReplyDelete
Oooh! Thanks for picking me! :) I'm thrilled! And wow...all those wonderful cabbage recipes! Hooray!ReplyDelete
- Lee, Dublin, IrelandApril 6, 2007 at 10:05 AM
Far more common in Ireland for St. Patrick's day, and the 364 days following it, is bacon (a.k.a ham) and cabbage. Or, more strictly speaking, "hairy bacon and cabbage". Absolutely undressed. Boiled, bruised (black and blue) potatoes. And the more potato and cabbage water on the plate, the better. In fact, we don't use plates. We use stones. When there are stones available.ReplyDelete
Just joking of course.
Honestly though, I don't think I know of anyone who associates corned beef with St Patrick's day. Bacon and cabbage is the thing we'd have as a traditional Irish dish. We'll typically sit the bacon joint in a pot of water over night. We might even pour in a 500ml can of cider. The water tends to draw out most of the salt and the cider sweetens the meet. Then when it comes to cooking, it's simmered gently. The duration typically depends on how large the joint is. I don't have any sample weights or times as I just use the 'wet finger in the wind' method for adjudicating when it's ready. Towards the end though, we'll put the cabbage in with the bacon. If we want to be 'up market' about it, we'll fry the cabbage in butter. Alongside that we'll boil potatos and then roast them.
So that's how we do it on our side over the Atlantic.
Lee, thanks for sharing the true St. Patrick's day foods with us. I had heard that Corned Beef and Cabbage is a U.S. thing. I'll have to try the real thing next year.ReplyDelete
- Lee againApril 15, 2007 at 4:55 PM
I tell you what, you have the real thing and I'll be living in Australia having BBQ bacon and cabbage.ReplyDelete
Just make sure there's LOADS of hair. If there's no hair, you're missing the misery ;)

Topic: The holiday
Today my daughter wanted me to go to see a tree lighting ceremony.
I said no that I didn't want to.
She said it was a special family time and why didn't I want to.
John was her step dad, he hasn't been dead for even two weeks but they, (all my family) expect me to be normal. They don't understand why I don't want Xmas lights and all the crap that goes along with this season.
I just broke down and said "I have just lost my husband and can't do it",then started crying.
I am grieving my love, can not they see that and understand? Why do I have to spell it out for them? They're adults and I have been with John for twelve years!
I just can't do these things right now. John used to do all the decorating at Christmas, he would make our home beautiful for us. We would be outside together stringing lights and silly trains and all the do-dads.
I don't want xmas, I want my John heathy and alive. I don't want to pretend to be having a good time when all I can do is keep myself from crying.
I've done everything they've wanted from me so far, trying to be strong for the grand children but I CAN NOT do it anymore.
I'm a mess. I'm in torment and am so sad and lonely for John sometimes it is an actual pain. I came to Arizona thinking it would be good for me to be away from our home and with family but I think I was wrong. I need to go home. I leave the 14th and really can't wait.
I need more time.

Earlier today I had the opportunity to, once more, sample the facilities for almost every mode of transport serving Delhi.
First off, I went for a walk, and as usual some top-class morons with "On Duty Government of India" painted on had parked their trucks right on the pavement and cycle track when there was enough space nearby. To make matters worse, these morons had tied one of those strips of fabric that say "Delhi Police" to ensure that people had to get off the pavement and cycle path and into traffic.
Took care of that expediently. Camera does wonders.
Next, I drove to Delhi's now not so brand new Terminal 3 International to drop my grandchild and daughter, and sure enough, adventure beckons wherever I go.
First there was the early morning traffic chaos thanks to Metro digging on Ring Road as well as Outer Ring Road. Use some internal roads to try and avoid the worst bits but then hit Delhi's Outer Ring Road/Rao Tularam Marg wonder, the single lane flyover now trying to be a three lane each direction automobile salsa and tango programme.
Somehow get past that by using the lower level road and next thing you know, boom, we are sharing space in time and traffic with the pilgrims marching back from Haridwar. They are, of course, certainly setting us up for pedestrian rights.
Getting closer to the airport, we spot dozens of people walking from the highway, and by now the sun is out and it is getting hot.
Why are they going to the airport? They work there.
Why are they walking such a long distance? Because they are not permitted to take their cycles and city buses don't serve the airport.
Why are there no trees on the side of the road? Because if trees grow up then cutting them down will be a problem and that will impact real estate prices.
Moving ahead, the outer perimeter security is scanning cars going through, and appear to have a fondness for double-checking out-of-state cars – especially those with PB, RJ and JK registration plates.
I guess they like them. That is a loaded statement.
Next, we approach the departure terminal, which has the world's most confusing overhead signage. It is confusing because you spot the signage before you spot the turn, and unless you know the multiple options by heart, you will surely take the wrong lane.
Once you take the wrong lane, Delhi's finest will pull you up and issue a challan, but only if you are not a VIP. For the VIPs of Delhi, there is a separate lane, closest to the entry gates. Next there is a lane for taxi-cabs. And finally, furthest away, is the lane for private cars.
Obviously, because there are no buses serving the airport, and the Airport Express train is expensive as well as not linked to the Delhi Metro properly, the largest number of motor vehicles reaching the airport are.
Private cars which are forced to disembark visitors and passengers furthest away.
And here again stand Delhi's finest, eagle eyes out for battered looking cars, and badly dressed drivers, since I fit both profiles, I am double checked, am I a private taxi?
Rest of the day I move around by Delhi Metro, where about 3 million passengers a day are equal, and equity shows what we can do with our city.
At our airport, however, there are different ways of treating different people. Which is why the place is a mess, pretty carpets and swanky exterior notwithstanding.
The mode I didn't get to use in Delhi was boats, but then, have you seen the River Yamuna lately? I will do a lot and risk much more but asking me to take to the water in and around Delhi, is asking for too much to risk, even as an ex-seafarer who has seen the worst that nature in the form of the power of water can throw at me.

Al Bustan, Oman – Slovakia's Peter Sagan won the second stage of the Tour of Oman on Tuesday and moved into the overall lead, following a 146km run from Fanja in Bidbid to Al Bustan, close to the Oman Sea.
The 23-year-old Cannondale rider broke free from the pack in the final kilometre to finish 9secs in front of Frenchman Tony Gallopin, with Swiss rider Martin Elmiger a further two seconds back.
Sagan, the defending Slovakian champion, also won stage two on last year's race and counts three stages wins to his name on both the Tour de France and Tour of Spain in a career that continues to flourish.
Last year's Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins endured a frustrating start to his challenge during stage one on Monday as he came in last over a minute behind stage winner Marcel Kittel.
The popular British rider was delayed by a pile-up in the last few kilometres of the 162km stage and came in 1min 30sec adrift of the leaders.
However Team Sky are confident they will win an appeal on the basis that according to rules governing crashes, he should be awarded the same time as those riders he was riding within the closing 3km of a stage.
"There was a crash with 2km to go," said Team Sky's sports director Nicolas Portal.
"Bradley was not caught up in it but he was behind it and there was a little split in the peloton as the riders slowed down. So, with the 3km rule he should be fine."
The official results still listed the Olympic time-trial champion as 142nd and last before the start of stage two as Team Sky await a decision on their appeal.
The six-stage race continues Wednesday with the third stage route over 190km between Nakhal Fort and Wadi Dayqah Dam, which features a profile that will again suit the likes of attacking riders like Sagan. – Sapa-AFP

Video: Denon Urban Raver In-Ear Headphones
Most of the people appearing in our videos are employees at Crutchfield. We pull in folks from around the company to share their expertise. A lot of our on-camera stars come from our Advisor Group — they help people choose the right gear via phone, email and chat every day, so they're good at explaining the products and technologies.
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Powerful bass doesn't have to come from a bulky, on-ear headphone. With Denon's Urban Raver in-ears, those big beats and deep lows won't get left behind. Each earpiece features two parallel 11mm drivers to deliver jaw-dropping bass in a form-fitting headphone you can bring anywhere.
Video Transcript
Hi. I'm Petro with Denon, and we're here to talk with you today about Denon's new Urban Raver in-ear headphones. These headphones look different, and they sound different. Think you can't good quality bass sound from a pair of in-ear headphones? These headphones incorporate Denon's patent-pending double-air compression driver, mounting two 11.5mm drivers in each earpiece. These drivers are mounted parallel with each other so that they're designed to compress and drive much more air and bigger sound quality. The result? A powerful bass experience from an in-ear headphone.
These headphones also feature Denon's patent pending mini control wheel, so I can control volume up, volume down, play/pause, or talk/hang up. The headphones feature an integrated microphone on the earpiece, so you don't have to run around and hold up an in-line remote — making sure that the caller on the other end of the phone conversation can hear you. The microphone is integrated right here in the earpiece.
The other thing that you'll notice about these in-ear headphones is they come with multiple size ear tips and ear stabilizers. So you have your choice between Comply Memory Foam ear tips, your conventional silicon ear tips in extra small, small, medium, and large, or your double-solid silicon ear tips which are a little bit more rigid. If fact you can see the difference when I press them here. So you've got a choice between a multitude of ear tips and three different sizes of ear stabilizers, which are meant to nestle the headphone into the bowl of your ear and eliminate the ability to get the headphones pulled out, adding for a secure fit.

All it took was a few declarations of optimism about a fiscal-cliff deal by political leaders to bring in the buyers. Market players are obviously hopeful that a deal will be done, and they are worried they will miss a big relief rally if they aren't in already.
We also had the Fed's mouthpiece at the Wall Street Journal post an article late in the day that Operation Twist will likely be extended. The market loves quantitative easing, and this helped keep the intraday rally going.
While the action was positive, you have to wonder if the market is a little too optimistic. I don't think anyone really expects the fiscal-cliff negotiations to be easy. There is a big difference between saying you are optimistic about a deal than actually making one. I'd be stunned if we don't have some downside action in the market soon as folks start to have doubts about whether a deal can actually be made.
All you really need to know about the market is that it is going to continue to dance around to the fiscal-cliff news for a while. Nothing else really matters. The market believes there will be a deal, though there will likely be skittishness about it from time-to-time, and we'll likely see a big move by the time a deal is actually done. Fear of being left behind trumps fear of no deal.
Have a good evening. I'll see you tomorrow.

The 0.85x Reducer-Corrector for the Orion ED120 120mm refractor (#9976) reduces the effective focal length, producing a wider field and brighter images, and allowing shorter exposure times for astrophotography. It also provides excellent field correction (flattening), yielding sharp stars out to the edge of a camera chip as large as 36mm x 24mm, which is even larger than the APS-C size chip housed in the DSLRs most widely used by astrophotographers!
The Reducer-Corrector is designed exclusively for use with DSLR cameras, providing the nominal 55mm distance required from the optics to the camera sensor to achieve critical focus. You will need a "wide" T-ring for your brand of camera (sold separately).
This astrophotographic accessory features a two-element lens assembly, with one lens made from high-quality extra-low dispersion (ED) glass. The optics are fully multi-coated to minimize light reflection off the lens surfaces. It's designed for use with only the original ED120 refractor, not the EON 120ED. The effective focal length is shortened from 900mm to 765mm (f/7.5 to f/6.38), creating a faster system for improved astrophotographic performance.
The Reducer-Corrector threads onto the focuser drawtube's male threads for a secure fit that will not introduce flexure. Threads on the camera side accept a "wide" T-ring for your camera type.
This is a 'must-have' accessory for better astrophotography with Orion's ED120 refractors. Great for daytime terrestrial photography too!
Limited Warranty against defects in materials or workmanship for one year from date of purchase. This warranty is for the benefit of the original retail purchaser only. For complete warranty details contact us at 800-676-1343.

Binocular lenses and prisms are often coated with anti-reflective material to minimize light loss as light travels through the multiple optical surfaces of a typical binocular. Coatings help maximize the amount of light transmitted through each glass surface of a binocular, so as much light as possible reaches the observer's eyes to provide a bright and sharp image.
Good lenses are at least "fully coated," with a single layer of magnesium fluoride coating applied to each air-to-glass lens surface. Multiple layers of coatings are even more effective; the term "multi-coated" means one or more air-to-glass lens surface has multiple coatings. "Fully multi-coated" optics are even better, meaning all lens surfaces have multiple layers of anti-reflective coatings applied for maximum light transmission and optimal image quality.

Lucroy drives in five to key Brewers to series sweep
Peralta deals six scoreless frames to tie for MLB lead with 15th win
LOS ANGELES -- Jonathan Lucroy hit, Wily Peralta pitched and the Brewers dominated the Dodgers on Sunday to finish a three-game sweep, the significance of which was not lost on Milwaukee's All-Star catcher.
"This could be a potential matchup in the playoffs," Lucroy said. "I mean, I think that with how good that team is and how good our team is, we could end up meeting down the road if things work out like we want it to, hopefully.
"Anytime you can take five of six during the season, if we meet up with them again at the end of the year, it will give us that confidence knowing that we can hang with them."
The season series finale was a 7-2 Brewers rout on a sun-splashed Sunday at Dodger Stadium, with Lucroy logging five RBIs in the first two innings and Peralta working six scoreless innings to tie for the Major League lead with his 15th victory.
The National League Central-leading Brewers defeated the NL West-leading Dodgers five times in six games over a span of 10 days, with Dodgers aces Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke starting four of the games for Los Angeles. The Brewers took two of three last weekend at Miller Park before dealing the Dodgers their first losing sweep in a series of more than two games all season.
"In a sense, they kind of just came in here and said, 'We think we're better than you,'" Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "And for these three games, they were."
Now the teams are tied atop the National League with 70 wins apiece. The 70-55 Brewers are already four victories shy of their total from all of 2013 with 37 games to play, and headed home Sunday evening with a three-game advantage in the NL Central over the second-place Cardinals, who just took three of four from the Padres.
Was whipping the Dodgers a statement?
"I'm not thinking that way," manager Ron Roenicke said. "We played a really good series against a good team. We did a lot of things right in this series."
On Sunday, many of those things happened early. Lucroy's first-inning, two-run home run froze Dodgers left fielder Carl Crawford where he stood and gave the Brewers the lead for good before right-hander Dan Haren recorded a single out. Lucroy added a three-run double in the second inning after an Adrian Gonzalez error extended Milwaukee's rally, leaving Lucroy two RBIs shy of a franchise record he'd already matched twice before, with seven full innings to go.
Lucroy drove home no further runs, but other Brewers did. Jean Segura hit a sacrifice fly in the third inning that helped chase an ineffective Haren from the game, and Carlos Gomez greeted reliever Carlos Frias with a leadoff homer in the fourth to make it 7-0.
"It's really good when you get a lot of run support early," Peralta said. "When you get on the mound, you get to attack hitters. That's good. You don't have too much pressure, that you have to make a perfect pitch."
Peralta had to fight through his six innings but allowed no runs on five hits and three walks, with five strikeouts. It was the Brewers' 22nd quality start in the team's last 26 games.
With victory No. 15, Peralta tied the Reds' Johnny Cueto and the Cardinals' Adam Wainwright for the Major League lead. Wainwright and Peralta both joined Cueto on Sunday. No Brewers pitcher has led his league -- much less the Major Leagues -- in victories since Pete Vuckovich won 14 times in strike-shortened 1981.
Peralta's is only the 25th season for a pitcher in Brewers history with at least 15 victories.
"Sooner or later, you have to pay attention to him," Lucroy said when asked about Peralta's modest national profile. "I think it's a byproduct of playing in the Milwaukee market. We're not looked at as much, which is fine. That's the way I like it, personally. But he definitely deserves a lot more credit than he's getting."
Lucroy's own profile was significantly raised last month when he was the NL's starting catcher in the All-Star Game. He almost boosted it even higher during his final at-bat on Sunday, when Lucroy, batting with a runner aboard and needing two RBIs to tie the Brewers' franchise record for a game, pounded a long fly out to right field.
Off the bat, he thought the ball had a chance to fly farther.
"I actually thought that was the best swing of the whole day, my last AB," Lucroy said. "But I guess the wind kind of caught it and it didn't carry out there. It's all good, man. They've got a pretty decent staff, so any time you can go out there and have good at-bats, whether it works out or not, I consider it a good day."

Mah's goal at the beginning of the season was to run the table during MCAL matches. After beating Redwood senior Parker Silverman early on at No. 1 singles, the Marin Independent Journal boys tennis player of the year felt he had a good shot at meeting that goal. He went on to go 12-0 in league and knocked off three-time defending champion Michael Guzman from Justin-Siena in three sets to take the MCAL singles title.
"I really wanted to beat him that time ... wanted to redeem myself," said Mah, who went 0-3 against Guzman as a freshman. "It felt good to pull it off at MCAls."
He was also voted the MCAL player of the year by coaches.
"I was happy that someone from TL actually got (MCAL) player of the year," Mah said. "It's great for me and the school."
He and his twin brothers — Daniel and Ryan (juniors) — were instrumental in helping the Trojans move up the league standings. Jerod believes TL's fourth-place finish is best in program history.
TL also won its first-round North Coast Section Division II match, before bowing out to top-seeded Piedmont in the semifinals.
In the NCS singles tournament, Jerod elected to play up in the more competitive D-I field over D-II and won his first match before falling in an epic three-set match to San Ramon Valley's Alex Keyser (fourth seed) in the quarterfinals.
This summer he will be working on improving his USTA ranking since recently moving up to 16 and under. In 14s, he was ranked as high as 66th in the nation and No. 4 in NorCal.
"Jerod's skills are incredible and he has a great sense of court and a fighting heart," TL coach Craig Eldred said. "He's amazing to watch and see him keep battling."

Beavers bounce back with 33-14 win over Hawaii Warriors
CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) Sean Mannion threw for 372 yards and four touchdowns and Oregon State rebounded from a stunning loss in their season opener with a 33-14 victory over Hawaii on Saturday.
Brandin Cooks had seven catches for 92 yards and two scores for the Beavers (1-1), who fell 49-46 at home last week to lower division Eastern Washington.
Oregon State had 508 yards of total offense while Hawaii (0-2) had just 239.
The Rainbow Warriors evened it at 14 in the second quarter before Oregon State went ahead in the second half on Mannion's two 8-yard TD passes to Cooks. Hawaii was coming off a 30-13 loss to USC in its opener.
The Beavers scored on their first drive, a 3-yard pass from Mannion to Kellen Clute. The play was set up when Mannion tossed to Storm Woods who broke downfield for a 48-yard reception.

I love your "potty" humor. Have a great weekend!!!
Made it home, no accidents along the way!! Just think, I get to do this every Friday for the next 3 months except for off weeks!!! Took about 5 hours with the doctor visit included. 4.5 without a visit to the doctor. My bloodwork looked pretty good today also after the off week:
Hgb 13.5
Plat 257
We will see how next weeks levels read!! Have a great weekend everyone!
Derin...great blood work. Amazing the things that thrill us on this site. You must be excited not having to spend so much "quality time" at a nearby restroom.
Take care and enjoy your well deserved break.
Hugs and love,
Here I sit Saturday morning at 3am, can't sleep. Time to go upstairs to try to anyway. So far so good, no nausea so far, Emend seems to be working! Relaxing weekend planned, maybe fishing a bit if weather is nice and I'm up to it...
I woke up at 3:00 a.m. too. Couldn't sleep due to chemo and the steroids I received Friday afternoon! Think I'll get a couple of chores out of the way, after I read through the Discussion Board!
Cindy and Derin, I also woke up at 3AM - steroids! We must think we are a bunch of roosters! Going to see what old movie is on TLC!!! Have to make my 'Veggie" pate for Super Bowl tomorrow. For anyone who loves chopped liver pate, this is pure veggie and tastes just like it without the chicken livers.
It's funny how cancer treatment works sometimes. Some people are so tired they can't get out of bed and others are up at 3am because they can't sleep. I've always been the one that can't sleep and I blame the pre-chemo steroids. I hope you are able to get some good rest! And good luck fishing!
No fishing so far today, but we're cooking meatballs for a superbowl 'party' at the clubhouse. No real bad effects chemo wise, tennis for an hour yesterday and then hit the gym for biceps/triceps while the kids were in fencing. Took a 30 minute nap before dinner and that was it. Today was just running errands and nothing strenuous, but eating will take a lot of energy a bit later! Keeping my fingers crossed... That Emend anti-nausea stuff makes me a bit jittery, but other than that nothing. Enjoy the football!
It's funny that so many of us have sleeping problems. I've never been able to sleep a whole night but chemo really knocked me off kilter. I always thought it was the steroids that made me sleep less. Of course, with no chemo since November I have to figure out something else.
Now I think it's just the brain that won't shut up. I fall asleep and then around 2 or 3 I wake up thinking, "what if I ask my dr. this? or that?" or "what if this happens?" and then I can't sleep. It's a good thing I got laid off and don't work!
Dose 2 of Gem/Cis tomorrow. Another 5 hour session with 10 trips to the bathroom, joy joy!! I have a prescription for Zofran and haven't had to use any at this point. The Emend seems to do the trick for the first 3 days and afterwards I haven't been feeling anything out of the ordinary. I was a bit tired on Tuesday night (maybe from the gym on Mon/Tue evenings) so I went to sleep at 9:30 and didn't wake up until 8am, what a great night sleep! Hoping I won't be as wired tomorrow night after the treatment, those steroids jack you up something fierce!! Hope all is well with everyone else...
Hope everything goes well for you tomorrow, Derin. Take care.
Well, here I am wired again. Gotta love the steroids... Here are the bloodwork numbers:
WBC 3.4 (4.2 last week)
Hgb 13.4 (13.5)
Plat 308 (257)
I thought chemo was supposed to lower the platelets?? No nausea (thanks Emend), and all week I didn't have to take a Zofran at all! 5 hour day, 8 trips to the potty, and got home to do about 3 hours of work. Then cooked three very nice 16oz rib steaks on the grille with sweet potatoes and a 100% organic salad.
Gave the wife a girls night out with friends in the neighborhood (yes, that meant I did all of the dishes and cleaned up the whole kitchen, but hey, steroid wired, might as well!) and she still isn't home yet so hope she is having a good time. Hope everyone has a great weekend!! Hey, just heard the garage door open, gotta run!!
You go, Derin!! You are the best! Wish I could loose some of your water for you...still weaning off my steroids. Had a Girl's night Thursday in Scottsdale. Dinner, karaoke, and a live trio who sang for 2 hours and sang only Motown!!!! It was great. Of course most of you are probably too young to know Motown and I couldn't dance on the floor due to my swollen ankles from the Pred but MAN did I chair dance! Couldn't sit still to that music and I was exhausted! A night out does wonders and I just love reading your posts. it goes without saying...keep up the good work!!! Think your wife would mind if I sent you a huge hug? Here goes!
Watch out for dropping neutrophil counts (ANC 1.6). Stay on top of your oncologist if ANC drops further. You run the risk of catching infections if neutrophils drop too low.
FYI, our oncologist prescribed Neupogen shots when my wife's ANC dropped to 1.4. Neupogen worked very well. The last ANC reading was 5.8.
It was at 0.9 about 3-4 weeks ago, and said if it was lower than that they would have to do something about it but the number rose each successive week. I'll see how the bloodwork does this Friday and ask a few more questions...
Very good day today, bunch of house cleaning with the whole family, gym for an hour with my son and he did his fencing while I hit the sauna/steam room after the workout. Cleaned up my father-in-law's grill (burners were pretty gunked up, have new guts ordered to install on Monday if they arrive so we 'prepped' today) and then have relaxed the rest of the night. Mitzvah Day tomorrow instead of Hebrew school for my daughter, so the whole family will go to donate some time to a worthy cause (not sure what we do yet, we will find out when we get there!) and tomorrow night is Daddy Daughter dance at one of Sydney's friend's synagogue so we get to dress up and have some fun!
Derin: Have a great time!! Sounds like you've barely slowed down. I hope the chemo stays as a "small nuisance". I don't think I've done as much in the past year as you've done this past month. Just reading your posts make me tired!
Enjoy the dance with your daughter and keep posting. It's making me feel like a lazy bum!!
I am new to this website. My son who is 45 has been on Gemzar for six treatments and has been very ill. He has decided to quit Chemo. According to the doctors he has, there is nothing that can be done to remove the tumor. He has lost 50 lbs since November 18th, the day he was told that he was terminal. My question now is, why did his oncologist put him on Gemzar in the first place. We did not get a 2nd opinion at a major cancer center. My son has decided to go on hospice. I think he has no hope to live anymore with the nausea and vomiting that happem with the chemo or it could be the cancer. He is my only child and he wants me to let him go. I am still interested in clinical trials but at this point, I don't think he is strong enough to go thru another experience. What would you do if you were in my shoes?
Dear Rhike, welcome to our wonderful family and I am so very sorry to hear about your son. I would suggest that it is still not too late to get that second opinion. It can't hurt a thing. I feel that part of the reason your son is down is because he has no game plan. A game plan always puts one in to a fighting mode. He also has age on his side. I am wondering how big the tumor is. Has it metastised? Where is it located? And where is he being treated. May I also suggest you post your introductions under INTRODUCTIONs as it might get lost on this other thread. Did the Doctor say why they can't remove the tumor? You have come to the right place and I hope we can help, just need a little more information.
45 is too young to give up! I concur with Lainy to post in the introduction section, it will open up the floor to many more comments. Lainy also had some good questions regarding tumor size, metastasis, and location that would help others provide additional input for you. We wish you the best for your son and get that second opinion for sure.
I am a cancer patient for sometime now,did your son recently have a follow up CAT SCAN OR MRI done to see whether the6 treatments works or not.( normally with chemo treatment , the scans should be done every 3-4month to monitor the progress of the therapy.) is it possible you email me the "impression " segment of the most recent scan report for me to take a look for what alternative your son can have.I am not a doctor, but I may be of help to your son in terms of information. Like other member of this board said, 45 is too young to give up.
2nd opinion from John Hopkins liver specialist is a good start to evaluate your son's case. Remember,nothing is impossible,hoping for the best and prepare for the unknown is part of this journey for this cancer.
Did he on Gemzar only or with other chemo agents like cisplatin or oxaliplatin or caboplatin .?
God bless.
I need help posting my son's history on this website. I don't know how to start on the introduction section so I was looking thru all the post on chemo. I have located a local doctor who could patch up some of my son's liver but there is no guarentee that the cancer will stop. I was told by his oncologist that Gemzar and Cisplaitin may stop the progressing on the tumor. I was told by the gasto doctor that there is no way that a surgeon would even attempt to remove the tumor because his cancer is stage 4, has lots of cancer in his liver, pancreas problems. He is on drugs constandly for his pain and he just wants to die. My son did 3 sessions - 2 were with cisplatin but his kidneys had problems so the last session was only Gemzar. I don't know where to turn. I have called his oncolgist and asked for a CT scan. She told me that my son would needf two more session before she would do a CT scan. I don't believe that the chemo has helped him as he has been sick since he started the chemo. I intend to donate money to research of this disease to John Hopkins, and to this web site. I would like my post be provided to everyone, but just don't how to do it.
Rachel go to our Home Page and scroll down to INTRODUCTIONS. Click on INtroductions. When the page flips to Introductions on the right side it will say "New Post" click on that and a space will appear to write your Intro. You can also copy it from the previous post and paste it to the new site.
I posted this to you yesterday when you asked how to post under the Introdictions part of the site -
Welcome to the site. That would be great if you could introduce yourself to us all as that way your posts won't get lost in other threads. If you go to the "Introductions" board that is found under the Discussion Boards then you can introduce yourself there. Here is the link to the Introductions page -
http://www.cholangiocarcinoma.org/punbb … .php?id=18
Then just click on the "post new topic" icon on the top of the right hand side of the screen. After doing that it will bring up a new page, then just write a title to your new thread then post away! Hope that helps and lookin forward to reading your posts and hearing about your son

SHEPHERDSVILLE - The city boundaries of the county seat appears to be growing once again.
And the latest annexation could open the way to a major producer of jobs.
The Shepherdsville City Council met on Tuesday and will meet again at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday to annex 165.19 acres.
The property owners have requested the annexation, which would eliminate the need to wait 60 days to complete the process.

If it is true that a failure to increase the debt limit on August 2nd has the potential to bring about economic Armageddon, shouldn't we be asking ourselves if it's a good idea to allow the political class in Washington to continue collectively play God with our lives? After all, these people are fallible human beings.

Spending Cuts and National Security
An op-ed by Peter Singer and Michael O'Hanlon in today's Politico questions the impact of spending cuts on the military. "Substantial defense budget cuts are possible, make no mistake," the Brookings' scholars concede, "But they could mean loss of capability, and some may increase security risks."
'Gang of Six' Plan is Lousy
My colleague Dan Mitchell discussed the good, the bad, and the ugly in the deficit reduction plan released by the bipartisan group of senators known as the "Gang of Six." As Dan noted, the plan is more of an outline and a complete assessment isn't possible until more details emerge. However, the fact that President Obama immediately embraced the plan ought to tell proponents of limited government all they need to know.
Gang of Six and Senator Coburn
The "Gang of Six" senators has released an outline of budget reforms that would supposedly reduce deficits by $3.7 trillion over 10 years. Revenues would rise by at least $1 trillion, while spending would be theoretically trimmed by various procedural mechanisms. The plan promises to "strengthen the safety net," "maintain investments," and "maintain the basic structure" of Medicare and Medicaid, which doesn't sound very reform-minded to me.
Two Trillion Isn't Enough
Washington is the only town where the circus never leaves. Elephants, donkeys, clowns and a ringmaster residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue — our nation's capital has it all. And what a show they're putting on for the American people over raising the debt ceiling for the umpteenth time in recent years.
Cato Video on 'Cut, Cap, and Balance'
Cato Institute scholars Chris Edwards and Dan Mitchell evaluate the plan offered by Republicans for lowering federal spending using a so-called "Cut, Cap and Balance" proposal that would make small cuts to federal spending in the short run, cap federal spending, and balance the federal budget using a tax-limited balanced budget amendment to the Constitution:
Repealing New Deal Labor Laws
Many of the laws covering today's workforce were written more than seven decades ago during the New Deal. Collective bargaining and the unemployment insurance system, for example, were both established in 1935. Since then, the U.S. labor force and industrial structure have vastly changed, which creates an opportunity to update the laws to better suit the modern economy.
Debt-Limit Deal: Cut $500 Billion Option
Charles Krauthammer is absolutely right that Republicans must call President Obama's bluff on the debt-limit vote. I suggested that the House GOP pass $2 trillion in cuts tied to a $2 trillion debt increase, thus handing the matter over to the Senate and the president and refusing to budge.
McConnell's Cave & Boehner's Opportunity
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has offered the president a way to raise the debt ceiling by $2.5 trillion without having to cut spending. The WaPo reports that "McConnell's strategy makes no provision for spending cuts to be enacted."
Obama Administration's Latest Bad Idea
When government officials come up with what they claim to be a wonderful new idea, I often think of an old Saturday Night Live skit from 1990 poking fun at commercials for blue jeans. The skit's scene is a group of middle-aged buddies getting ready to play basketball in their new "Bad Idea Jeans." Each guy optimistically announces a plan to do something that is actually a "bad idea." For example, a character says "I don't know the guy but I've got two kidneys and he needs one, so I figured…" and "BAD IDEA" flashes across the screen. (The skit can be watched here.)

text: Smell the Coffee: If you give a squirrel a mint ... By Karin Fuller September 21, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- I didn't mean to offend. It was an innocent gesture. An offering. An attempt at giving a gift -- a minuscule morsel of minty sustenance. How could I have known it would be so easy to insult?Truth be told, I've had a few run-ins with squirrels before and knew they could be temperamental. There was the one that discovered a missing slat in my roof vent and used it to access my attic while I was away. Over the course of a week, the Ty Pennington of fluff-tailed Sciuridae dragged three-quarters of what must've been West Virginia's only sequoia through that missing slat, then arranged the sticks with great care and efficiency between the rafters.Had the squirrel been content with his overzealous abode and remained quiet during his time above, he might've enjoyed his den longer, but he apparently realized a love for dance and began to loudly study his art across the ceiling in the evenings, leading to his discovery.Unnerved by a twig dwelling that seemed far too large for an ordinary-sized brood of tree rats, I feared I'd unearthed the love nest for a real-life Rocky and Bullwinkle and thus found myself in a quandary. I'm a catch-and-releaser of spiders and bugs, so a cute, furry squirrel was exquisitely safe, even one that was rapidly turning my attic into a crispy tinder depot.And so Natasha (that would be me) employed the assistance of the wily Boris Badenov (neighborhood feral cat with bloodthirsty reputation), who I captured and put in the attic for an hour or so to distribute his threatening scent around in order to frighten the squirrel away.It worked.The squirrel left.The cat stayed.Though one squirrel might've been rendered homeless by my accord, others have prospered. Over the years, I've fed squirrels, photographed squirrels, had a pair of random adolescent squirrels come when I called them. I once did battle with a full-size hawk armed with nothing but an interoffice envelope in an ill-fated attempt to save a squirrel. And yet, there's now a need to make amends.Last week, while walking from the parking building to my office, I was accosted by a squirrel. It apparently recognized the odd lady who so frequently carries peanuts in her purse. Except that day when, after digging long and hard to try and find an errant peanut for her hopeful little friend, all she found was a single breath mint, which she offered instead.Much to the offense of the small woodland creature.That mint was spiked to the ground with such force it likely lodged in the dirt. The squirrel began hopping madly, chattering furiously. I don't speak squirrel, but I know that diatribe was laced with profanities.When my daughter was small, she loved these children's picture books by author Laura Numeroff, among them "If You Give a Moose a Muffin" and "If You Give a Pig a Pancake." They're fun stories, all with a similar theme."If you give a pig a pancake, she'll want some syrup to go with it. You'll give her some of your favorite maple syrup. She'll probably get all sticky, so she'll want to take a bath." Baths lead to bubbles, bubbles lead to rubber ducks, rubber ducks lead to wanting a trip to the farm.But if you give a squirrel a breath mint, it could lead to an interspecies incident.One for which the perpetrator is so very ashamed.Reach Karin Fuller via email at email@example.com.

There are both sweet and sour lime varieties (sweet limes are not readily available in the U.S., though they're a key ingredient in other cuisines). Sour limes contain citric acid giving them an acidic and tart taste. Sweet limes look and smell like acid limes, but lack the citric acid. They thus have sweet flesh and can be eaten like any other sweet fruit.

Attendees also welcome the chance to celebrate longer into the evening, on a show floor the will stay open until 11 p.m. First Look for Charity, of course, is the black-tie benevolent event of the Chicago Auto Show, and is held the evening before the auto show opens its 10-day public run at McCormick Place. In 21 years, First Look for Charity has raised more than $34 million for area philanthropies. It's a special night at the nation's largest auto show, when one can stroll the show floor amid opulence, with first-rate hors d'oeuvres and beverages, and enjoy entertainment by Million Dollar Quartet and American English. Not enough? Two attendees will win the event's grand prizes: a 2013 Buick Encore and a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe. Million Dollar Quartet is the smash-hit musical inspired by the famed recording session that brought together rock 'n' roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins for the first and only time. American English, widely regarded as the finest Beatles tribute band, performs songs from the entire career of the Beatles with precise attention to musical detail, along with costume changes, vintage instruments, and special effects. Eighteen vital Chicago area charities will benefit from the more than $2 million expected to be raised by First Look for Charity, and ticket purchasers can direct the proceeds from their purchase to benefit any or all of them. "The Chicago Auto Show is uniformly regarded as the finest auto show in the country, but the charitable cause demonstrates that this auto show is about more than just vehicles and accessories," said Michael Ettleson, chairman of the 2013 show. "It's also about giving something to the charities of our community." Tickets are $250 each, of which $207 is tax-deductible as a charitable contribution. The benefiting charities receive 90 percent of the proceeds from the event, and all those proceeds are used in their efforts in the Chicago area, Ettleson said. Santa Fe compliments of Hyundai Motor America and Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana Hyundai Dealers. Encore compliments of Buick and Chicagoland Buick-GMC dealers. Vehicle winners must be present. First Look for Charity and the Chicago Auto Show are presented by the Chicago Automobile Trade Association, representing the new-car dealers of Chicagoland and northwest Indiana.

About mixing engineers
A mixing engineer is a person who creates the final version of a track, blending together all the vocals and instrument recordings. The engineer mixes these individual elements together until the desired balance of vocal and instrumental volume and frequency has been achieved. Whether it's your next big track or a jingle for your product video, mixing engineers will get the music to sound polished and professional. The last thing you want is for the music on your explainer video to make ears bleed and a mixing engineer can make sure the music, speech and audio effects are balanced and blend smoothly!
Mixing engineers typically use Pro Tools or Logic Pro with a huge variety of different plugins and effects. Some mixing engineers use analog equipment, because they like the warmth it gives to recordings, but most mixing engineers now use digital equipment, because of the cost and how flexible it is. Mixing engineers on Twine can help you. A well-mixed track is so important, it can make the difference between a professional sounding song and a quiet, tinny recording which sounds like it was recorded in a cupboard. On Twine, you'll find talented professional mixing engineers with a wide variety of experience in almost all musical genres. Their job is to make your music sound the best it possibly can.

Amazon (AMZN) has seen a healthy pullback recently, so here's the question: Is this a buying opportunity, or is a more important high now in place for the stock?
The good news is that we don't need to know the answer to that question in order to potentially profit from a trade in this stock. All we need is a trade setup, followed by a trigger that tells us it's worth placing an educated bet on the buy side. Let's talk about two trade-setup zones that I am currently stalking in Amazon. If this is a buying opportunity, ideally I'll want to see the price hold somewhere above the Nov. 15 low on a pullback. Those two zones both come in above that prior low.
The first area comes in at the $240.64-to-$242.59 area. It includes a 50% retracement of one swing, the Nov. 15 low to the Dec. 18 high; a 1.272 Fibonacci extension of the Dec. 11 low to the Dec. 18 high; and a 100% projection of a prior decline of $20.53 -- from the Oct. 26 high to the Nov. 15 low -- projected from the Dec. 18 high. Note that the current decline, from the Dec .18 high, is currently similar to that $20.25 decline (illustrated on the chart above).
The second zone comes in at $235.34 to $238.61. This includes the 0.618 retracement of the Nov. 15 low to the Dec. 18 high, a 1.618 extension of the Dec. 11 low to the Dec. 18 high, as well as three 100% projections of some prior larger declines. These are also illustrated on the daily chart. Note that these prior declines came to $24.50, 26.20 and $27.47. I include these projections because I've found that many moves in a market can be similar and sometimes even equal, so these projections are definitely worth watching!
So now that we have a couple of setup zones, and we see the stock is essentially testing zone 1, let's look at what we would need to see on a 30-minute chart before we should place a bet on the buy side.
For me to consider a buy entry, I'll need to see an upside crossover between the eight- and 34-day exponential moving averages, and I'd the price to take out a prior swing high on the same chart. While both of these need to occur, it does not matter which happens first. At the moment, you can see that the eight-bar EMA is still below the 34-day EMA on the above chart. We are also still looking at a pattern of lower lows and highs.
Bottom line: I am keeping an eye on both of the above support decisions, along with my 30-minute chart, as I wait to see if the buy side will be triggered in the coming sessions against one of these key zones. If we see a buy trigger, the maximum risk should be defined below the low end of the second price cluster zone at the $235-to-$238 area. If this setup does start to play out, the upside potential comes in at the $276 area. There will be other targets I can post, as well, once a key low is defined.
If these same key zones are violated instead, I back off the buy side until further notice.

In the end, Black and an additional Wayne player were ejected as well as McGee for the Redskins.
"It was a heat of the moment thing for both teams," Wayne coach Aaron Rehrer said. "There was some play that the refs could have done a better job controlling over the course of the game that led up to it."
In accordance with IHSAA rules, anyone ejected from a game must sit out the next contest. Wayne's ejected players sat out the SAC Holiday Tournament semifinal against Concordia Lutheran, a 61-45 loss.
North Side (5-4) has not played since the defeat, hence McGee, a starting guard, will not see action.
"The game could have been called a bit tighter, especially with the two (Black and McGee) involved," North Side coach Shabaz Khaliq said. "There were points in time where a whistle could have been blown or where Coach Rehrer and I should have subbed those guys out to calm them down a bit."
Regardless of where the blame lies for last week, Friday's matchup is huge for both teams. North Side and Wayne are one of six teams in the SAC that currently sit at 1-1 in the league, with Concordia the lone undefeated at 2-0. Falling two games behind this early in the conference race is almost impossible to recover from.
"Anybody who picks up their second league loss on Friday is out (of the title race)," Khaliq said. "I do not see Concordia losing twice and not sure if Northrop loses twice unless Concordia gets them."
The Generals (6-2) have been flying under the radar for the first half of the season, with their two losses coming to aforementioned Northrop and Concordia. A win Friday would further feed the confidence of Rehrer's team.
"Maybe we're not playing the best basketball (in the area) or we're not fun to watch or something," said Rehrer about the lack of attention his team has gotten. "I think Wayne doesn't get a lot of respect in anything.
I don't mind being the underdog though."
North Side has underwhelmed so far this season despite one of the most talented rosters in the Northeast Indiana. It will have to find a way to win a huge game Friday without one of its playmakers in the backcourt in McGee.
"I compare us to a beautiful home without a good infrastructure," Khaliq said. "We look every bit the type of team that should be dominant and aggressive … but they don't have that type of mindset.
I can handle getting beat, but I do not like losing. If we play hard but get beat, that I can live with, but we have lost a lot of games this year with our lack of effort.
"If someone told me after most of our games this year that our team played hard, I would say they were lying."
A year ago, North Side beat Wayne in the Holiday Tournament with the Generals returning the favor barely a week later. On Friday, the shorthanded Redskins try to return the favor.
"We look great on paper and we've hung our hats on that, maybe even as coaches too," Khaliq said. "But we have to have more energy and play harder because Wayne is a tough team."

CLEARLAKE -- Crews took about 20 minutes to control a house fire that apparently ignited in an attic Saturday evening.
Personnel arrived at the single-story home on the 15000 block of 22nd Avenue just before 5:15 p.m., according to the Lake County Fire Protection District (LCFPD). The occupant told first responders he thought the fire was out.
Fire crews could only see smoke in the attic at first but found flames after removing ceiling in the bathroom and kitchen, according to the LCFPD. The fire was contained and controlled in about 20 minutes.
The origin appeared to be in the attic just above the bathroom near a ventilation fan, according to the LCFPD. The cause remains under investigation. No injuries were reported.

David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458 / / League Two
Chris Wilder reiterated James Constable 's pivotal role in the Oxford United squad for the new season amid reports Bristol Rovers are set to make a third bid for the striker.
The U's rejected two approaches from the Pirates during the close season and it was thought their interest had gone cold.
But it appears to have been revived after Rovers sold forwards Mustapha Carayol and Chris Zebroski this week.
Their exits mean the npower League Two club need firepower and have money to spend.
Manager Mark McGhee is looking to bring in four players before the start of the season – when Oxford United visit the Memorial Ground.
Wilder met Constable, known as Beano, before pre-season training began to reassure the striker he was key to the U's plans for this campaign.
And nothing has changed as far as the U's boss is concerned, despite the reports Rovers are set to increase their offer.
"(Constable's) a part of it and until I'm told differently he'll be leading the line for us," he said.
"I've been delighted through the summer, I think Beano's attitude has been brilliant. He's got a massive part to play here – he knows that and I know that."
Constable admitted to being unsettled by interest from Swindon Town in January, when the U's accepted an offer believed to be in the region of £225,000.
But Wilder is full of praise for the way the 27-year-old has performed during pre-season, whi-ch included a goal in Monday's 4-1 win against the Jim Dedeus All Star XI on the US tour.
He said: "I feel he's cleared his head, we've had numerous talks – going over old things it was a tough old time for him last season – but he's come back and his general play has been superb.
"I'm glad he got a goal on the tour, as forwards will always say once you get one goal some more will follow."

Girl Films Justin Bieber Sleeping in Bed, Internet Goes Crazy With Speculation [VIDEO]
Subscribe to PopCrush on
Justin Bieber attracted lots of attention while in South America, having visited a brothel. Then he invited Beliebers to the mansion in which he was staying while in the country for an innocuous feast of junk food.
Now, a 15-second video of the singer sleeping in bed landed online, filmed by a giddy girl, and it sparked some serious (and somewhat out of line) speculation and chatter.
Some suggestions are that the female who turns the camera on herself and blows a kiss — as if to prove that OMG, she really is there, with JUSTIN BIEBER — is a Brazilian hooker. Or maybe it is one of the Beliebers who came back to his abode to nosh on Doritos, chocolates and chicken nuggets. We don't know. She has dark hair — that's all that's obvious. There's no proof they had any sort of relations just because she managed to snap him mid-nap.
She is clearly filming with her iPhone and it's obviously The Biebs — the tattoos and the face are the dead giveaways. His trusty baseball cap is nearby.
In all honesty, this could have been the daughter of a maid who snuck in for a look at The Biebs. Anything is possible. It doesn't HAVE to be a Brazilian prostitute.
He doesn't appear to be aware that he is being filmed. So it also feels like an invasion of his privacy an in icky sort of way.
The only thing we can safely say about this video? That Justin Bieber actually sleeps! More specifically, he is a side sleeper who appears comfortable in the fetal position while resting.

The U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance (USFRA®) continues its outreach efforts on Friday this week with a Consumer Media Tour. Katie Pratt, an Illinois farmer recently named as one of the "Faces of Farming & Ranching" by USFRA, will help television viewers across the country understand food terms such as: organic, local, grass-fed, naturally-raised and sustainable.
Joining Katie is Celebrity Chef Danny Boome from the Food Network's show, "Rescue Chef." His program offers viewers creative solutions and a true understanding of the basics for success in the kitchen. Just in time to help consumers prepare their Valentine's Day meals, the duo will provide viewers with information about their food choices.
"I am excited to help consumers demystify some of today's confusing food terms," says Pratt. "I hope to show viewers that knowing more about how their food is grown and raised – whether it's organic, local, conventionally-raised, etc – can help them better understand how to make healthy choices based on their own preferences."
Pratt and Boome will also participate in a series of radio interviews on the USA Radio Network, It's Your Health National Network, KTRS in St. Louis, Mo., and WBNR/WLAA in Hudson Valley, N.Y.
Katie is one of four Faces of Farming & Ranching winners chosen to represent agriculture to consumers, influencers and mass media. The winners, Chris Chinn (Mo.), Will Gilmer (Ala.), Katie Pratt (Ill.), and Bo Stone (N.C.), act as national spokespeople, sharing their stories and experiences on a national stage to help answer consumers' questions about how food is grown and raised.
Katie and her husband, Andy (a seventh-generation farmer), raise corn, soybeans and seed corn. Welcoming tour groups to their farm is a family tradition starting back in the early 1970s when Andy's grandfather hosted students from Chicago-area schools on his dairy farm. They currently farm in partnership with Andy's family and have two children.
USFRA needs more farmers and ranchers to become active in telling their stories of continuous improvement to consumers and dispelling inaccurate information through the F.A.R.M. (Farmer and Rancher Mobilization) Team Rapid Responders program. To learn more, go to www.fooddialogues.com.
