Rangers slowly building up quality starts
SEATTLE -- Joe Saunders turned in an official quality start by holding the Mariners to two runs in six innings on Saturday night. It was the third straight quality start, following Yu Darvish's shutout on Wednesday and Nick Tepesch's 6 1/3 scoreless innings on Friday.
It's the first time this season that the Rangers have received three quality starts in a row. Quality starts are defined as the starter going at least six innings and allowing three or fewer earned runs. It's only the third time this season that Rangers starters have pitched at least six innings in at least three straight games no matter how many runs given up.
The Rangers have 24 quality starts on the season. Despite leading the league in shutouts, the Rangers are last in the league in quality starts. Darvish has 10 of the 24 quality starts. Martin Perez, who had Tommy John surgery and is out for the season, and Tepesch each have three. Nick Martinez, Saunders and Robbie Ross Jr. each have two while Scott Baker and Matt Harrison each have one.
A shutout does not necessarily mean a quality start. Three of the Rangers' 13 shutouts have been accomplished without the starter going six innings.

Prosecutors have dropped the case against a woman who was charged with going to a dogging site with a child.
Louise Jones, 41, whose husband Michael Gwyther was jailed for life in 2012 for series of sex offences, was due to face trial on the matter.
But, before a jury could be sworn in at Swindon Crown Court, prosecutors offered no evidence against the 41-year-old and the judge returned a formal not guilty verdict.
Jones, of White Horse Road, Cricklade, had always maintained she was also a victim of her deviant husband who abused three young girls, one from the age of 12.
She had been accused of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child under the age of 16 in February 2011.
Gwyther of Haywards Place, Easterton, was jailed for public protection in December 2012 and cannot seek parole until late 2018.
He admitted six rapes, causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, three counts of sexual activity with a child and three of making an indecent photo of a child.
The pervert was caught after the mum of one of his victims saw inappropriate messages from him on her daughter's computer.
When she spoke to the girl she told how he had touched her when he gave her a lift home from a youth club.
Another girl who also had lifts from his also told a similar story before a third girl, who had been more seriously abused, came forward.
He had taken that girl to a dogging site, where strangers have sex with each other, and Jones was said to have joined them on one occasion.

men's soccer, women's swimming and women's indoor track each received NCAA APR Public Recognition Awards.
May 7, 2014
A trio of LMU programs, including men's soccer, women's swimming and women's indoor track, received NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) Public Recognition awards on Wednesday as the NCAA recognized Division I athletic teams for outstanding APR scores.
Division I teams that posted multi-year APRs in the top-10 percent of all squads in their respective sports were acknowledged by the NCAA. The public recognition awards are part of a broad Division I academic reform effort.
The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team's academic performance.
LMU women's swimming was lauded for the fifth time (fourth straight year), while women's indoor track took home the honor for the third straight year. Men's soccer, which won the 2013 WCC Championship, received the recognition for the first time.

COCONUT CREEK, Fla. - With the spectacle of a show and the class of a big-time casino, the Seminole Casino in Coconut Creek reopened Thursday after its multimillion-dollar makeover.
ABC celebrity Ty Pennington, who now stars in daytime's "The Revolution," helped reveal the $150 million in improvements. The expansion doubled the size of the casino floor to 100,000 square feet.
PHOTOS: Slideshow
"We've doubled the number of slot machines on the floor, the table games on the floor. We've added great new restaurants," said casino president Steve Bonner.
More than 1,000 temporary construction jobs were created for the project, including work for craftsmen, tradesmen, electricians and skilled laborers.
Bonner said the casino has also hired more than 800 people for full-time work. Many, like waitress Ana Ohara, were plucked from long lines at November's job fairs.
"I think it's the first time I'm looking forward to coming to work," Ohara said.
With unemployment in Broward County at 8.5 percent, that's good news.
But the elephant in the room is a proposed destination mega-casino just a county away. Competing resorts, like Genting Group's proposed resort and casino now being considered by state lawmakers, might be bad news for tribal casinos. Late last year, the Seminole tribe came out against the bill to allow them.
Although the mega-casino deal would possibly end the tribe's compact with the state, and therefore end its obligation to pay the state, a representative told Local 10 that the Seminole tribe wants to keep the compact intact after having worked on it for 20 years.
Bonner said the focus Thursday was on the newest destination in Broward County.
"It's now a full-fledged destination resort and something I think everyone in South Florida's going to want to come and see and have a good time," Bonner said.

ECM Capitol reporter
Forest Lake officials were at the State Capitol on Thursday (April 4) looking for help on a redevelopment project.
Mayor Christopher Johnson and City Administrator Aaron Parish appeared before the Senate Tax Reform Committee in support of legislation that would extend the duration of a local tax increment (TIF) financing district by 10 years.
The city is looking to spruce up the Highway 61 corridor, a corridor that has become "somewhat forgotten and blighted" as traffic has moved elsewhere, Johnson said. The city has come to Capitol before looking for help with the project, but at that time, it was suggested city officials come back when more solid plans were in place.
"We do have that," Johnson said.
The city of Forest Lake, its Economic Development Authority and PACE Development are collaborating to redevelop Northland Mall, a 102,000-square-foot facility that's only 12 percent occupied, and also to redevelop the City Hall site to allow for construction of multi-family housing.
Parish advertised the redevelopment of Northland Mall as the biggest opportunity for redevelopment in the corridor. Redevelopment of the City Hall site is estimated to capture some $94,000 in real estate taxes — two years ago, the property brought in nothing — and redevelopment of Northland Mall is estimated to bring in $116,000 in taxes, an additional $25,000.
That local officials view the redevelopment efforts as of regional significance can be seen in the support Washington County and Forest Lake School Board have given the projects, Johnson said.
TIF District 21 was created in the 1990s, according to the city, to redevelop properties around downtown Forest Lake. Currently, the district is set to decertify in 2015.
The bill was laid over by for possible inclusion into a committee bill. Sen. Karin Housley, R-St. Marys Point, is carrying the Forest Lake TIF legislation.

I wanted to love Sucker Punch so much.
I first heard about the film last July when, at Comic Con, a single teaser trailer showed which featured all those things which make every fan boy sit up and take notice: beautiful, scantily-clothed women wielding swords and automatic rifles battling samurai, dragons, orcs, zombies, knights, and cyborgs and the name "Zack Snyder" as director. What more could a film fan want?
Sadly, after watching Sucker Punch earlier this week, I realized the movie, while including all of the above mentioned fantasies, was missing a few things very very important to a quality film: an enthralling story, decent dialogue, and quality acting.
Now first let me be clear: I'm not saying the story is non-existent; it's simply lost behind a tirade of beautiful costumes, gorgeous scene designs, amazing special effects, awesome slow motion battle sequences, and video game-like action. The film's tagline, "You will be unprepared," unfortunately came true as I was truly unprepared for the poor quality dialogue and the less-than-stellar acting portrayed by what is a much more talented cast.
The film's script is the freshmen writing effort for both director Snyder and Steve Shibuya, who have plenty of film experience and should have known better. The film's story, which is a parable of sorts about how people are all powerful enough to overcome any obstacle if they can find the unlikely people and things which can grant them salvation, sadly begins to meander early on after which it becomes completely lost behind the sound of full-auto gunfire delivered in droves by hospital patients-turned-dancers-turned-warriors Baby Doll (Emily Browning), Rocket (Jena Malone), Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish), Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens) and Amber (Jamie Chung) and the cliche one-liners delivered by The Wise Man (Scott Glenn).
The previously mentioned actor and actresses as well as the rest of the cast - which includes John Hamm as the High Roller/Doctor, Carla Gugino as the doctor/madam Gorski, and Oscar Isaac as the care provider/owner Blue - all deliver dialogue which seems, at times, completely irrelevant and unnecessary. While it's up to moviegoers to judge, the dialogue seemed - at least to me - almost worthless. If the goal of the film was to truly catch audiences unprepared, it would have been amazing if Sndyer had cut the dialogue completely and told the story through the assaulting rap/rock/techno music soundtrack and gorgeous visuals, which - when combined - succeed in emotionally capturing viewers with their unique combination and delivery.
The first 8 or so minutes of Sucker Punch feature no dialogue, simply a visual story that's easy to understand set to a techno remix of the Eurhythmics' '80s hit "Sweet Dreams," which - even without dialogue - had me completely absorbed. Not since director Kazuaki Kiriya's 2004 sci-fi masterpiece Casshern have I been as emotionally invested and mesmerized by a film's auditory and visual splendor. That is, until one of Sucker Punch's characters opened their mouths to speak...
Other things Sucker Punch does well: the costume and set designs. Stunningly detailed and absolutely impressive, the movie features some amazing design work which will have impressed fans seeking out a copy of the recently released "The Art of Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch" art book, which is well worth the $25. Likewise, and as previously mentioned, if you're a fan of anime and over-the-top fight scenes, Sucker Punch is right up your alley.
Sucker Punch will polarize Zack Snyder fans. In one camp, we'll find the die-hard, "Zach can do no wrong" fans of the writer/director, who'll express their love for this film (and its writer/director) by saying things like "You simply didn't understand it" or "It's not supposed to be easy to understand." In the other camp, you'll have those moviegoers and critics who'll roll their eyes, comfortable in the knowledge the film featured a meandering story, less than stellar acting, and any real cohesion.
It's safe to say the film will do well with fan boys and girls who love nothing more than the previously mentioned fantasies: beautiful, scantily-clothed women wielding swords and automatic rifles battling samurai, dragons, orcs, zombies, knights, and cyborgs. That said, it's truly a sad day for pop culture and Hollywood when these things and the name "Snyder" are all it takes to get the green light on a film with a budget of $82 million. While his past work on such films as 300 and Watchmen prove Snyder will do well with the forthcoming Superman movie, my gut tells me it'll be a while before we see another original from him.
That said, the more I watch movies today, the more I realize story and substance aren't always necessary for one to be entertained...or at least entertained once. I'm as guilty as anyone and I'll probably end up buying Sucker Punch when it hits blu-ray in four or five months; if only for the simple fact that I - like every other kid who grew playing video games, reading comics, and watching sci-fi and fantasy films - love watching beautiful, scantily-clothed women wielding swords and automatic rifles battle samurai, dragons, orcs, zombies, knights, and cyborgs.
Sucker Punch has that going for it...which is nice.
Sucker Punch is in theaters today and is rated PG-13 for thematic material involving sexuality, violence and combat sequences, and for language.

Prayer of the Day for Wednesday, August 6
Praying the Holy Rosary
The Holy Rosary is one of three Sacramentals that the Blessed Virgin Mary has given to the Holy Catholic Church. In the thirteenth century, Mary gave the Rosary as a powerful weapon to mankind to combat the evils that were in this world as a result of the spiritual battle that is taking place between Satan and God. Since then, the blessings received through this Sacramental are beyond man's count.
STEP 1: Make the sign of the Cross:
In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
STEP 2: Say the Apostle's Creed:
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day He rose again. He ascended into heaven, And is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
STEP 3: Say 1 "Our Father":
Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, On earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread, And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
STEP 4: Say 3 "Hail Mary's": (For the virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity)
Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of death.
STEP 5: Say 1 "Glory Be":
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
STEP 6: The Rosary Breakdown:
The Holy Rosary consists of 20 decades.
A decade consists of: 1 Our Father 10 Hail Mary's 1 Glory Be.
To pray an entire Rosary, you must pray 20 times the "Our Father," 10 "Hail Mary's" and the "Glory Be" in that order.
The Rosary is been divided into 4 parts of 5 decades each. Each of the four parts are called a Chaplet.
To pray an entire Chaplet, you must pray 5 times the "Our Father," 10 "Hail Mary's" and "Glory Be" in that order.
The general practice of Catholic is to commit themselves to praying one Chaplet per day.
STEP 7: The Mysteries of the Rosary:
While praying a decade, you reflect on a mystery. There are specific mysteries for each day of the week.
For example, when praying the Holy Rosary on a Monday, you meditate on the Joyful Mysteries.
During the recitation of first decade, you meditate on the Annunciation of Mary. During the recitation of the second decade, you meditate on the Visitation. During the recitation of the third decade, you meditate on the Nativity of Jesus. Etc...
The following is a list of the Mysteries:
Joyful Mysteries - Monday and Saturday
1. The Annunciation 2. The Visitation 3. The Nativity 4. The Presentation 5. The Finding in the Temple
Sorrowful Mysteries - Tuesday and Friday
1. The Agony in the Garden 2. The Scourging at the Pillar 3. The Crowning with Thorns 4. The Carrying of the Cross 5. The Crucifixion
Glorious Mysteries - Wednesday and Sunday
1. The Resurrection 2. The Ascension 3. The Descent of the Holy Spirit 4. The Assumption 5. The Crowning of Mary
Mysteries of Light - Thursday
1. Baptism in the Jordan 2. Self-manifestation at the wedding of Cana 3. Proclamation of the Kingdom of God, with His call to conversion 4. The Transfiguration 5. Jesus' institution of the Eucharist
STEP 8: The "Fatima Prayer": After the completion of one decade, you recide the "Fatima Prayer": O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fire of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy mercy. STEP 9: The "Hail Holy Queen": After the completion of one Chaplet (5 decades which represents 5 mysteries), you pray the "Hail Holy Queen" prayer. Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile show us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. STEP 10: The Sign of the Cross: You conclude the Rosary by doing the Sign of the Cross. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

I start thinking it through sequentially from the right foot (or right hip if standing still). And the momentum flows up the body, each new sequence/body part of the turn adds more momentum. The break through idea was to let momentum from the shoulders carry the right arm across my chest while I passively bent the elbow to 90 degrees. The right arm has to cross your chest automatically due to the momentum, no effort on my part needed. Just bend the elbow to keep the disc close to the chest. Once at the right pec, then I could engage and explode the right arm into a chop.

I can't wait to fire a few in the field now. Thanks for bringing up the video, because it might have just busted me through another plateau! I'll report back with any miracles.

Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 123 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Outdoorgardener Garden Sink This is a really nice unit. It is actually the second one we've installed. The last one had to be removed when our house was painted so we decided to just get a new one since we used the last one so much. We like the set up and the durability. Installation is fine as long as you follow the step by step directions. We like the sliding work surface on top when the sink is not in use. It's a really handy item. April 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Joyjoyjoy Love, love, love Perfect for all outdoor activities requiring cleanup. I love it for rinsing my hands while grilling. I had one at my house that I just sold and the buyer was in love with it so I purchased another one for my new house. I love this!!! April 20, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gardener311 Great garden sink. It is a little complicated to mount. I had someone that knows about carpentry put it on a back splash board made of plexiglass so it would be easier to hang up. It's a great looking sink and so practical. It's a perfect sink to have outside to wash up something quick or just wash your hands and garden tools. It also has a nice finish look when it is closed. I hung it up on a wide patio square pole. April 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by LosAngelesMom Great Sink!!! We have two young boys and no "utility" sink in garage or laundry room. This sink is a fantastic alternative. We mounted it outside by the driveway; the kids love having a sink for "science experiments". Mom loves that the kids can clean up outside before coming in the house. The only complaint we have is the connectors on the sink only come on the right side. We would have like the option to choose left, as this would have been more compatable with our hose hook up. Otherwise, it's perfect! April 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aardvark Outdoor Sink This item disappeared from the market for a while and I'm glad to see it back. Assembly was fairly routine, although some of the parts were a tight fit -- a good thing from a quality standpoint. My only minor disappointment is that proper sizing of lag bolts and washers for final installation was a challenge, as the mounting slots appear to be of non-standard size. From a DIY perspective, instructions to rely on "hardware professionals" for mounting advice was a cop-out. All in all, however, this outdoor garden sink appears to be a quality unit that will do the job. April 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by sailboat great outdoor sink. So easy to install. I use it to clean barbaque pans and utensils, washing out flower pots. My husband takes out the grates and also cleans them in this sink. Not gloppy and great for outdoor use. April 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by g2e4f5 this sink is wonderful in my garden easy cleanup i love my sink i had one like it for several years and needed another one the only drawback is the faucet leaks from underneath and i did notify customer service but have not received the replacement yet and that has been a while so i hope they will honor what they sell. May 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by GloriAlejandra Great Product Beautiful outdoor sink! it is so handy! you can use it for so many things from gardening to cleaning your dishes when you bbq. May 2, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Johana21 Great product The product was great and i love it. I would definitely order from you guys again. I just wish that the prizes werent so high though. May 2, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ledra Exactly what I was looking for I wanted this product when I saw it last season even though I had no where to put it. This year I was so pleased to see it again and have the perfect place for it. If you're going to get a stationary hose reel you might as well spend a few more dollars and get one with such great features. I looks great, was easy to install and has so many functional attributes- it is well worth the money. I am very happy with my pruchase - but bewarned- follow the assembly instructions - it will, as always, save you alot of headache. May 14, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Millie Just buy it !! This is the best garden accessory ever! I have had one of these for many years, and it is a Godsend to have running, draining water in the yard...for garden chores, hand washing, etc. I broke it...forgot to drain before winter freeze, and spent last year with out one. This keeps everyone from tracking dirt into the house every time they need a sink. May 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by MarylandGardner I really needed this product I had seen this product online several years ago and when I tried to order it was out of stock. We do a lot of yard work and do not have a utility sink so this product is perfect for us. We were at a little nursery buying some plants and they had a new one mounted on the outside of one of their greenhouses. I Googled it when we got home and Improvements had it so we ordered it immediately. It was easy to install and I added a two hose valve to the existing hose bib and we were in business! It is most convenient and prevents us from tracking mud, mulch and grass into the house. May 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by terbovpip Love this! I am always working in the yard and bringing messes into the house. This is perfect for transplanting and washing up. It saves time and mess cleaning up after working in my garden! May 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by ladyt This product is just want we wanted a way to wash hands outside I had been looking all over for this product, I saw one a few years ago at a yards sale that someone was buying and I always wanted one. It is great, it was just want I wanted. And it was easy to put together and install. June 7, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by mutley nice sink Sink works as it should. It looks much nicer then the ones from the walmart or target. I would recommend this over any other I have seen. June 14, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by HATSOFF6 OUTDOOR SINK IT TOOK ALONG TIME FOR YOU TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF SINK AGAIN. WE HAD ONE YEARS AGO AND USED IT OFTEN. SO PLEASE KEEP THI ITEM IN STOCK AND IN YOUR CATALOGE. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT----------KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.... THANKS YOU PEOPLE ROCK... JOE AND KATE SERVILLO......... June 14, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by NYtoCA Outdoor Garden Sink My kids bought me this sink years ago, I still use it and love it. Now that my son has a family and a yard I wanted to get him the same one for Father's Day. I found that the manufacturer was out of business. Then...there it was on Improvements! I ordered it, it came in 2 days ahead of schedule and my son loves it. If I had anything at all to suggest - it should say "does not include mounting hardware" - wasn't a big deal, but I would have bought that ahead of time for him. June 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dancinbuni Outdoor Garden Sink Perfect! Exactly what I needed. Went together easily. July 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Slavetoinnovation Outdoor Sink The outdoor sink is excellent. the faucet leaked upon arrival however, I was sent a new sink and it was great. Instead of mounting on wall I mounted on an old cast iron Tredle sewing machine base for portability. The setup works great is portable and my wife loves it. An Excellent product. July 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rocketman Handy for clean up after yard work This is a very handy item for clean up after yard work. Installation took about 35 minutes. I would say that I am semi- to experienced when it comes to home improvements and DYI projects and I had no problems. If you are mounting to a brick/rock wall/surface you will need a masonary drill bit. Had to purchase/ install a seperate single short piece of tubing for drain to keep water from draining directly on to area under sink. VERY happy with this item July 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by HANDYGRANDY GREAT PRODUCT!!! Unlike some of the other reviews stating it was a 2 person job, I was able to assemble & mount to stucco all by myself. It helped to support the unit at the correct height while marking the holes. I happened to use a planter, but you can use anything. The most difficult part was attaching the hose to the bottom of the faucet. That took a lot of strength & conviction! Also, the hole covers do not "snap" in as they should, and I had to play around with that in order to get them to stay. Tool tightened 2 hose connections very well & no leaks! LOVE IT!!! July 10, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by BYECYA Greatest idea ever Oh this is the greatest thing since ice cream. This sink is a blast. No more messes in the house. Great idea put your bar of soap in a knee high nylon and secure to sink that way it never gets lost and is always available. Bought extra for holiday gift giving. Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! July 20, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by griffon outdoor garden sink I had one of these sinks about 10 years ago, then sold my house. now i found them again so i got it and i love it again. July 20, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by denski Durability test first weekend I bought the sink for our annual weekend picknic. With 40 people camping out it the field and 135 people on Saturday, it got a workout and heldup just fine. July 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bernieburn We love the Outdoor Garden Sink!! I debated for a week prior to purchasing. I should have bought sooner! This was a great purchase and was very easy to install. I attached it to my brick wall with masonry anchors. It has meet all of my expectations. I read reviews that mentioned missing parts but mine came with all parts included and was in perfect condition. This will make the perfect addition to my patio. Now I can wash my hands by the barbecue grill. No need to go inside, yay! BTW, no leaks. I used teflon tape like for plumbing. Don't hesitate! Purchase! July 25, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by TagsPlace Outdoor Garden Sink Easy to assemble and install. Works great. So nice to have a place to wash off vegetables before bringing in the house August 7, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by pappyken Love the outdoor sink It's perfect. Exactly as pictured. It works for both my wife and myself as we do yard work and entertain. THANKS August 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gatormom Great for fishermen!!! I saw this outdoor sink and bought it as a gift for my husband. He loves having a place to clean his fish. Appears to be very durable!! August 31, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Garden1dream My little outdoor sink is the best. I have been wanting this little sink for years. Finally found it in stock and just love it. It took me a little time to get it hooked up (had to buy a connecting house, and a brick bit for the drill), but now that all that is done I really love it!!!! It has great pressure and drains well. I love the little drain plug and the soap indention space. It is a wonderful addition to my garden area. September 14, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by LuvOnline Wonderful product The customer service with this company is excellent and their products of good quality. Be sure I will continue to buy from this company. September 28, 2012
Question on faucet turn off
on the new model with the pull out faucet (NOT the fold down model)- does the faucet turn totally off or does it just have a flow adjustment valve.
The faucet does shut completely off using the shutoff valve on the pullout.
Date published: 2017-01-14
hose reel
how do you roll up the hoes? is it automatic: how much weight can it support hoes and other items?
We just wrap the hose around the holder and it's OK so far. We have room for another hose holder which may be more convenient.
Date published: 2017-01-14
What is the length of the drain hose?
No drain hose provided. I purchased to six foot garden hoses at the big box place.
Date published: 2016-06-04
Does Item #412302 include the sink, or just the wooden frame?
Does the garden sink workstation include the sink? Or do you have to order the Garden Sink Workstation and the sink together? Thank you
Item #412302 is the garden sink and is separate from the wooden workstation, item #412101. They are purchased individually.
Date published: 2017-01-14
Size of hose
My question is what size of hose can you hang on the hose holder? 50 ft-75 ft?
50 foot is the most that I can see it holding - I've put both 25 and 50 on it.

DOVER, Fla. — The Sunshine State's strawberry industry is gearing up to battle an emerging foe.
While Florida's grower-shippers once owned the winter market window, they're now seeing increased competition from Mexican-grown berries.
Those larger shipments of Mexican berries are affecting demand and prices, grower-shippers say.
After early December conversations with customers in Philadelphia and New York terminal markets, Steve Machell, sales manager for Gulf Coast Produce Inc., said he'd never heard of Mexican fruit arriving in those markets so early in the season.
He said the movement was an indication of what's available from Mexico.
The region typically begins bigger shipments in mid- to late December, Machell said.
"There are some good farmers down there (in Mexico), so it's not an issue of quality but it is a factor in the marketplace," he said.
"There's only so much of the pie. Whether Florida can participate, that is the question. They are 100% within our timeframe, so our growers must become dense in production quickly. They need X amount of flats in the season to get paid out."
Mark Greeff, vice president and general manager of the Eastern region for Watsonville, Calif.-based Driscoll Strawberry Associates Inc., said the surge in Mexican product follows some perceived shortcomings on Florida's part.
"The biggest challenge for Florida is that Mexico has generally improved its overall quality as a competitor and has become a reliable supplier," Greeff said.
"Florida struggles with reliability. Florida will always be challenged with weather conditions, so we have to deliver on quality in a consistent basis. If Florida won't provide a consistent and reliable product, our competitors will take us out on a consistency level."
According to statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization, the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Commerce, Mexican strawberry acreage has increased from an average 14,000 to 16,000 acres in 2000-10 to about 21,000 acres in 2012.
"The increased plantings are always a concern for us," said Chris Smith, sales manager for BBI Produce Inc.
"We're closer and have less freight, so we have to do a good job. We think if we have the quality, the buyers would rather be here too. We want to be the go-to people."
The doubling of production has kept demand down, grower-shippers report.
"It's certainly helped keep a lid on prices," said Gary Wishnatzki, president and chief executive officer of Plant City-based Wish Farms. "But Florida has some advantages. Because of those advantages, our industry can exist."
Wishnatzki points to Florida's freight advantage to key Northeastern markets. Product can be on store shelves within two days vs. the longer transit times for berries shipped from Mexico.
The rise of social media is also helping, sources said.

Challenging a Cherished Belief
Thursday, I wrote about research from Robert Haugen and Nardin Baker that blows an enormous hole in one of the investment world's most cherished beliefs. We have been taught that risk equals reward in the markets and that to earn higher returns, one must take additional risks. This is not the case. Lower risk, lower volatility stocks actually outperform higher risk, more glamorous issues. The researchers found that this is because of what they call "agency issues." Everyone believes the same thing, and everyone wants higher returns. As a result, everyone owns the same high-multiple, more volatile stocks with subsequent substandard results.
I believe that unpopular stocks that trade cheaply based on asset value also outperform glamor stocks, as well as the broader market, over time. Today, let's combine these two factors to fund stocks that can beat the market over time. I ran a screen for cheap stocks with lower volatility than the broader stock market to see if I could reach any valid conclusions that might make money over the next few years....490 more words left in this article.

Caring for a Baby's NailsSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Babies' nails can be different lengths at birth and grow at different rates. As you bathe your baby, check the length of his or her nails. Trim the nails if they extend beyond his or her fingertips, to prevent scratching.
A baby's nails can be clipped or cut. Clip your baby's nails after his or her bath when they are softer. You may need someone to help you hold your baby. Your baby's nails can be clipped when he or she is asleep. Use the same precautions. General guidelines for nail care include the following:
- Use a small clipper or scissor with a rounded cutting surface, specially designed for babies. Do not use adult nail clippers.
- Work in an area with good lighting.
- Place your baby on a padded, flat surface or lay your baby across your lap.
- Hold and support your baby's hand or foot with one hand, securing the finger or toe of the nail about to be cut.
- Place the blade of the clippers or scissors carefully under your baby's fingernail or toenail. Before applying pressure on the clipper or scissors to cut the nail, pull down on your baby's finger or toe pad to be sure that you will not accidentally cut the skin.
- Cut the toenails straight across to prevent ingrown nails.

I had to listen to the Sky feed on WNBA.com because they didn't have the Fever feed for some reason. But it was interesting because Cathings sister was the color commentator. She's not bad at all - a few too many "ah's" but she does a nice job.
Catchings stat line in the all-star game might well be the best ever recorded not to get the MVP award. If the Fever keep it up I would say she has an excellent shot for the season award.

Companies Target High Tech at Career Fair
February 13, 2014—
"High tech."
That was Jim Turnquist's simple answer to what companies are looking for at this spring's Career Fair at Michigan Technological University.
"The jobs, now and into the future, will be focused on technology, science and math," said the director of Career Services, discussing the Career Fair taking place Tuesday, Feb. 18, noon to 6 p.m. at the Student Development Complex.
Some 217 companies are coming. In comparison, a job fair near Detroit is attracting 50-something companies to their event.
"We can attract employers to Houghton because we have the majors they want," he said. "We are a target school for them." Starting salaries seem to reinforce that fact, many in the $70,000 range, and internships and co-ops remain popular, he added.
The most popular majors for recruiters—mechanical engineering, electrical and computer engineering, and civil engineering—all produce grads with high-tech expertise. Computer-focused majors are also in high demand.
"We have the technology in the classroom," he says. "We are teaching differently, moving graduates in that direction."
Companies new and old are coming to the Career Fair: Titan International, Epic, Ford ("focused on IT this time"), DENSO, Bosch. "Automotive is really bouncing back," said Turnquist. Energy, too, is hiring. And one more skill set can't be overlooked.
"Communication skills," he said. "They add value to a company and increase your chances in a job market. Of course, communication is full of technology now, too."
Michigan Technological University (www.mtu.edu) is a leading public research university developing new technologies and preparing students to create the future for a prosperous and sustainable world. Michigan Tech offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in engineering; forest resources; computing; technology; business; economics; natural, physical and environmental sciences; arts; humanities; and social sciences.

Krejci's goal came with Cody McCormick in the box serving a minor penalty for goaltender interference. Mark Recchi continues to have an impressive series, notching an assist on the goal. Matt Hunwick also was credited with an assist on the extra man score. Just over five minutes later Patrice Bergeron swings home a chance on a bad angle to tie the score, 2-2.

NetWellness experts receive many questions about endometriosis. Over five million women in the United States have endometriosis making it one of the most common gynecological problems. Endometriosis is a disorder in which the lining of the uterus (called the endometrium) spreads into other parts of the female pelvic area such as the ovaries, pelvic cavity and even the bladder. Just like when it is in the uterus, the endometrium in endometriosis swells and bleeds each month in response to hormonal changes. This can be very painful and can cause scar tissue to develop.
The following symptoms are commonly associated with endometriosis:
As with all health issues and concerns, feel free to talk with your healthcare provider about these symptoms. He or she may suggest that you be evaluated for endometriosis.
The only way to accurately diagnose it is to have a laparoscopy (say: "lap-ah-ross-ca-pee"). This is a way of looking inside your abdomen by making a small cut in your skin and putting a small camera inside. This is often not done unless your symptoms can't be controlled medically. It can cause the implants (tissue growth) to shrink.
If you do in fact have endometriosis, several treatments exist that can help with pain.
Anti-inflammatories: can include over the counter pain medications or much stronger prescription medications.
Hormone Therapy: can include hormonal birth control or other hormonal medications.
Birth Control: Just as these medications decrease the growth of the lining of the uterus, they also prevent the growth of endometriosis. These can be given as pills, patch, vaginal ring or injection.
Temporary Menopause: Another common method is to prevent the ovary from producing hormones by administering a medication that places them in a temporary menopause. These medications are meant to be taken up to six months during which time your period will stop. Once you stop taking hormones the condition may be less severe than it was before or may return and remain the same.
Surgery: is also an option for people who have had less success with other forms of treatment. Less invasive treatments are used to remove the implants (tissue growth) of endometriosis. The only way to cure endometriosis is surgical removal of the uterus and possibly the ovaries.
Endometriosis, though painful, is not normally a threat to your overall health. But because it can be very uncomfortable to live with it is important to keep your healthcare provider up to date with your health concerns so that she or he can help you to receive proper treatment.

- Review for Your Life's Purpose Review by Rachel
I find Michael Bernard Beckwith very inspiring to listen to and as someone who has always struggled with the topic of 'life purpose', I have found this program to help immensely. I have had many aha moments about why I might struggle so much in this area and have gotten back in touch with how it can actually be an enjoyable process finding out ( or letting go and allowing in my case) what wants to come forth!

Birth Day With Naolí Vinaver Lopez and Family
VHS, Approx. 10 minutes long, A Sage Femme Production, Available in English and Spanish.
Please note: Video tape no longer available. Currently available only in DVD format. Read review of Extended Edition. Check our online store for availability.
We at Midwifery Today have had the great privilege of knowing and working with Naolí Vinaver both at our conferences and through the articles she has penned for us. A strong and loving woman, she has been kind enough to share, on videotape, some of her most intimate moments in the birth of her third child, Tamaya.
Naolí's birth takes place at home with her husband and two children in Xalapa, Mexico, and is beautifully documented by Naolí's father. The result is a very touching and intimate account of natural birth, waterbirth and close family dynamics. The love and support Naolí receives give her the courage to labor uninhibited. We see her walk amongst nature with her family while in early labor. She moves into a stronger phase during a happy lunch, and is soothed in hard labor in the magnificently tiled pool her husband made for her. Her children are present to receive their sister and be part of the process. Naolí gives birth to her baby and gives this baby's birth to her family. Naolí's openness as a daughter, mother, wife and midwife are clearly evident.
Anyone planning to have a baby should see this video to gain understanding of the true meaning of birth. Every practitioner should witness the potential power and beauty of uninterrupted birth that this video reveals. Its simple beauty strongly confirms what midwives know and want to preserve. It also chronicles a mother's journey, and empowers and inspires all women toward good birth.
This review was written by midwife Jill Cohen, associate editor at Midwifery Today.

I believe in the power of education to cultivate knowledge and understanding. I believe student interests are important and learners should be active in thinking, reflecting and forming new ideas. Students must be equipped with knowledge of the great ideas of Western culture and cultivate an appreciation for the humanities, so they may be best equipped for rationally defining the meaning of their existence through artistic means. Teachers are facilitators who guide student inquiry by focusing on student needs. As Martin Luther has argued, "Since Christ wished to educate men, he had to become a man. If we are to educate children, we must become children with them." We must understand where children are coming from, having compassion on them as Christ had compassion on us. In building artistic skills, we teach students to find meaning—meaning adolescents are desperately struggling to find. Through the power of the written word, as well as the image, students can make sense of the world. As an art teacher, I bring a well-rounded teaching philosophy into the classroom to not only teach the students how to make art, but to participate in the higher thinking that is ingrained in our humanity, being ever sensitive to the needs, behavior problems and weakness of individual students.
I am called by God to teach, exercising my spiritual gifts in this manner, to be committed to my class, exercising my authority with humility, leading with a teachable spirit, balancing vulnerability with boldness, to be responsible and accountable for my students, respecting them as potential unique members of the body of Christ, to love them unselfishly, to forgive and ask forgiveness, as I set an example of Christian love. It is a virtue to train others' children faithfully and I trust God to work all things for His good, as He has called me to teach according to His purpose.
Concordia University and its staff not only imparted unto me the skills necessary to create the art that I've always found intriguing, but they also instilled in me a confidence that I never knew I had. A confidence that I've made good use of in my life, and in starting my career. I found that Concordia helped open the world to me, providing keys to doors once locked, and the aplomb to walk through them with the knowledge that I would succeed. I now teach art to children—a dream of mine I've finally brought to fruition—through the YMCA's Arts and Humanities Department, giving others the chance to discover their passions, as Concordia University helped do with me.
My decision to study art came late during my time at Concordia. However, I am glad that my first forays into art were in an intimate, personalized setting where I could explore ideas at my own pace. Concordia professors not only inspired and encouraged my pursuits, but challenged me to be a better communicator, artist and teacher. Concordia offered me a place of personal, spiritual and artistic exploration that prepared me for the challenges of graduate study and artistic practice. This foundation of education and support gave me confidence as I pursued an M.F. A. in drawing and textiles.
Just like any child, I loved animation. I hoped that someday my interest in it would evolve into a career somehow— fortunately for me, it did. When I was a sophomore in college, I applied and was hired as an intern at Walt Disney Feature Animation Studios, where I worked in the artist training department. We did everything from putting on lectures with famous artists, and voice talent, as well as workshops in computer programs like Maya, Photoshop. I loved every minute of it.The following summer, I was hired as an intern at Sony Pictures Animation where I worked in the Visual Development Department. Vis Dev--as it is called, is where the whole look of a movie comes from. This is where the characters, locations, props and more are designed and painted. My job was to make sure that the artwork that was being created was archived (digitally and physically) into our databases.Once I graduated from Concordia in May 2007, I was hired as the Visual Development Production Assistant at Sony Pictures Animation. I love my job. I work with artists all day and I am constantly inspired by the amazing things they do.At Concordia, I gained a clear understanding of the elements and principles of art. Without these I would be totally lost. I can look at the artwork that is produced and knowledgeably take notes when the film's directors ask for changes. When archiving and printing, I am required to use Adobe Photoshop daily. Luckily, I had already learned these skills in my graphic design classes at Concordia. The art education that I received at CUI has been crucial to my success thus far. I am so thankful that I have a job where my art degree is used daily.

In Defense Of: Sid
by, 08-25-2013 at 07:22 PM (9673 Views)
I wrote my in Defense of Blog a few days ago about The Ultimate Warrior and surprisingly I found out that a lot of people feel the same way about the Warrior as I do. The Warrior is no ones favorite wrestler but certainly doesn't deserve the criticism he gets for his 1 WWF Run... Today I'am gonna blog about another controversial figure in wrestling and that is Sid/ Sid Vicious/ Psycho Sid/ Sid Justice or what ever you prefer to call him.
Sid is a very rare occurrence in Professional wrestling, Sid is one of the only wrestlers I know that in his prime, no matter where and when in prowrestling you put him he would be a main event star. Would Ric Flair or Hulk Hogan from the 80's work in today's wrestling? Probably not, Would Steve Austin be the huge Mega star he was if he came around in the early 80's? Doubtful, Would the Undertaker be Phenom in the early 80's or 70's? In the words of Gorilla Monson "Highly Unlikely", But for some reason If Sid was in wrestling in the 1960's or 2060 he would be a main eventer. Sid had a Presence and look that has never been seen before or after, Has their been a Wrestler bigger or with a better build than Sid? Of course, But Sid had that "It Factor" and he was captivating. Sid's Promos (which were not Classics by any means) were perfect for his character. Sid looked like a Psychotic monster and his mannerisms, Move set and promos complimented him perfectly..... Before anyone misunderstands my blog and take it another route, I'am not implying that Sid is more Talented then any of the men I mentioned Above. I simply mean that no matter what promotion or what time line you put Sid in, If you just drop him in the middle of the ring a Crowd would react to him.
No matter how much a company trys to bury Sid, Sid has a uncanny ability to be over no matter what. I remember in the mid 90's, The WWF wasn't happy with Sid for several reasons (Fake injuries to play Soft Ball, also some drug issues and maybe some attitude problems etc) They were Jobbing Sid to Henry Godwinn and a bunch of other lower mid carders. Then the WWF brought Sid in as a last minute replacement for The Ultimate Warrior at International Incident IYH to team with Shawn Michaels and Ahmed Johnson against Vader, Bulldog and Owen Hart and Sid blew the roof off the place. Sid was easily the most over guy in the ring and the fans reacted in such a huge way to Sid that it forced WWF to change their whole booking for the next 7 monthes and put Sid in the main event picture, Give him 2 title reigns and a Wrestlemania main event spot. Sid's popularity was so huge it forced Shawn Michaels to be a heel for 1 night at Survivor Series.
After the WWF used up Sid and pretty much seen his popularity was dying down and he ran his course they let Sid go. It looked like Sid's main event days were over and Sid end up in WCW two years later and sure enough the people reacted to Sid in such a way that WCW had no choice but to put him in the main event picture and put multiple WCW championship reigns on him... Sid had a surprisingly interesting feud with Goldberg in his last WCW stint and even though Sid was heel, Sid was so over that his cheers were trumping over Goldbergs and Goldberg was the most over guy in WCW at the time.
Sid set the standerds of a big mans move set in wrestling. None of the wrestlers in WWF or WCW at the time of Sid's debut were using high impact moves like the choke slam or Power bomb. Sid changed the tired old ways a big man would wrestle in America and introduced High Impact power moves to the American audience. If you look at most big men in the 90's all the way up til now, Their move set is a variation of Sid's move set of Choke slam, Big Boot and Power Bomb, Just look at Kevin Nash, Kane, Undertaker and many other main event big men.... Back When Sid was in the big leagues most big men wouldn't do much more than slam, Bear hug, sit on his opponent or choke and sometimes you get a lack luster drop kick and thats it. Sid was a trail blazer and ushered in a new way a big men wrestled.
With all that said, I will now talk about my favorite part of Sid, The Sid Behind the scenes. The legendary Stories we all heard on the internet. The Sid Safety Scissors incident, The Sid Squeegee story, The Sid squirrel story and last but not least the Sid Shit in his tights Wrestlemania 13 story... I could listen and read about Sid stories for days and not get tired, Sid's botches in front of the camera and behind the scenes stories are legendary. The truth is the wrestling world is a much more interesting cause of Sid for many different reasons.
I wasn't much of a Sid fan in the 90's, sometimes I quoted Sid or got excited for him but it wasn't some one I really rooted or got behind, but as I got older I appreciated what Sid was in wrestling. Most people on the internet and wrestlers will say Sid was overrated and didn't deserve the career he got. But I think the opposite, I don't think Sid really gets the respect he deserves. Think of it, Sid was over in the end of the 80's, 90's and 2000's, In NWA/WCW, WWF, ECW USWA and just about every federation he step foot in in 3 different decades. That is unheard of. Look at Hogan who had a ground breaking stint in WWF and changed the face of wrestling but moved to WCW and had a disappointing run until the NWO and heel turn. Ric Flair was a NWA/WCW legend and made the jump to WWF and no matter how perfect the situation was and how hard the WWF pushed him Flairs run wasn't exactly what people expected. Same goes for Bret Hart who shined in WWF and just bounced around in WCW. It is a testament to Sid to be in both WCW and WWF in 3 different eras and still remain over and relevant.

Cingrani to work on secondary pitches in Triple-A
PHILADELPHIA -- Rookie left-hander Tony Cingrani was mostly impressive during his callup to the Majors. However, Cingrani was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Saturday as the Reds prepare to bring ace Johnny Cueto back from the disabled list on Monday.
Corner infielder Neftali Soto was called up from Louisville to replace Cingrani on the roster in the meantime.
Over his six starts for Cincinnati, Cingrani was 2-0 with a 3.27 ERA, nine walks and 41 strikeouts.
"He did a great job with the limited experience that he had," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "It was a great learning experience, but he also helped us at the same time."
On Friday, in a 5-3 loss to the Phillies, Cingrani allowed three runs and five hits with two walks and four strikeouts over five innings. But he also threw 100 pitches in that relatively short span.
Baker and pitching coach Bryan Price told Cingrani that he needs to work on his secondary pitches -- the changeup and slider. Baker said Cingrani would not be mandated to throw a certain number of offspeed pitches while back at Louisville.
"We want him to get comfortable with it on the sidelines and then take it into the game," Baker said.
According to Fangraphs, the 23-year-old Cingrani threw his fastball 83.6 percent of the time, which is third-highest among Major League pitchers with at least 30 innings. In recent outings, Cingrani was getting hit harder the second time through an opposing lineup.
One of the fastballs on Friday was a 3-1 offering up in the strike zone to Jimmy Rollins that was hit for a two-run homer in the third inning.
"I could do it with the fastball if I just commanded it better, but it's just working on the other pitches to get them off of my fastball," Cingrani said. "It's always a learning process. It's great I got the six starts. I'll go back down, do what I have to do and work on that."
