I just don't know what to say ...........
New York Jets tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. was masturbating in a Target parking lot ... with TWO jars of vaseline in his car ... this according to a police report obtained by TMZ Sports.
The 30-year-old former Pro Bowler was arrested on November 19th ... after cops in New Jersey received a tip about a man in a Target parking lot "pleasuring himself" in his vehicle.
According to the report, a 58-year-old white lady had pulled up next to Kellen's Cadillac Escalade around 5:30pm and noticed Kellen sitting in the driver's seat with the window open.
The woman says she tried to make small talk about the weather (it was really cold) and that's when she saw his erect penis ... and called the cops.
When cops arrived to the scene, they reportedly found two open containers of vaseline in the car ... along with synthetic marijuana labelled "Mr. Happy" -- and Kellen admitted he smokes the stuff to help him relax.
Cops asked Kellen what he was doing in the parking lot and he said he was looking for a Boston Market but got lost. Cops note that K's penis was not exposed when they arrived.
Kellen was eventually arrested and hauled to a nearby station.
Winslow Jr. was never charged with anything related to alleged public masturbating -- but he was hit with drug charges for the synthetic weed ... and last week, pleaded not guilty.

On the Forefront: Prophylactic laser disk ablation in dogs at Oklahoma State University
Acute or severe intervertebral disk herniations can be catastrophic, and some dogs do not recover after a severe episode. In addition, thoracolumbar disk problems may recur after conservative treatment consisting of rest, corticosteroids, and other anti-inflammatory drugs. And although not definitively documented in the literature, disk extrusion or protrusion recurrence at other thoracolumbar disk spaces after decompressive surgery is also a clinically relevant concern.
For these reasons, laser disk ablation, a procedure for preventing thoracolumbar intervertebral disk herniation in dogs, has been developed and performed in more than 350 dogs at the Oklahoma State University Center for Veterinary Health Sciences. The original research at Oklahoma State University was extrapolated for clinical use in dogs in 1994 from a research project aimed at supporting a similar therapeutic modality in people.

Maddon recalls similiar loss to World Cup tilt
ST. PETERSBURG -- Rays manager Joe Maddon compared it to a 30-5 loss in a Minor League game he skippered decades ago. That's how bad Germany was beating Brazil in a World Cup soccer semifinal shown on the Tropicana Field scoreboard.
With the video board broadcasting before Tampa Bay's game against the Royals, Maddon walked up the dugout steps, looked up at the 5-0 score -- which ended as a 7-1 final -- and instantly recalled how his club was once handed a 25-run loss during a playoff race.
At 3:30 p.m. ET, Evan Longoria had glanced up at one of the clubhouse TVs and asked when the game started. By 4:30, there was no reason to watch.
The Rays were starting their pregame stretches when the German onslaught began -- a 1-0 lead became 5-0 in seven minutes.

That is cool. I don't fault you for that. Believe me, as a long-suffering Bengals fan, I've been explaining away crappy performances longer than I can remember.
That is cool. I don't fault you for that. Believe me, as a long-suffering Bengals fan, I've been explaining away crappy performances longer than I can remember.
I don't know about relating batting average to completion percentage. True, a QB's completion percentage depends on his recievers somewhat, but I think it's a fairly good measure, as are passer rating and quarterback rating.Originally Posted by WilyMoROCKS
Like you, I like what I see from Carson Palmer. However, I'd like to see more before I throw accolades upon him. You mention his supporting cast that "enables him to shine." Interesting that you don't give the same leeway to Culpepper. In the past Culpepper had a supporting cast that allowed him to shine, yet you passed it off as merely a byproduct of have Randy Moss to throw to. Yet Palmer's current success is because of his talent alone? Don't think so.
Put Palmer in Daunte's current position: no running game to speak of, the loss of Chad Johnson (only moreso, because I think we can all agree Moss is the better player), two starting offensive linemen gone, and a new offensive coordinator. What would Palmer's stat line look like then? My guess is that it wouldn't be that great. Would you be as supportive of Palmer then as you are now. I doubt it.
What I'm trying to say is if all things were equal, how would you rank Palmer and Culpepper? Granted there is a significant age difference, but in his prime do you think Palmer can put up numbers like Culpepper's 2004 season? You'd say yes I'm sure, but I don't know, the sample size is just too small. Me, I'd take the known quantity over the one that, to me, is still somewhat unproven.
"It's still a long way to the top if we want to rock'n'roll, but at least they dumped the tuba player."
I would be interested to see what % of Daunte's TD passes and overall passes were attempted/caught by Randy Moss. I honestly don't know what those stats would look like, but it might provide a better idea as to just how much Daunte relied on Randy to put points on the board...Originally Posted by Sabo Fan
Likewise, although the sample size is much smaller, I would be interested to see similar splits between Carson and Chad Johnson.
The Bengals suffered more injuries last year than just about any other team in the NFL. A few key offensive cogs missed significant portions of the season: Carson still did great work.
Yes, as I said, I agree with you: Carson has got a long way to go and a lot to prove. I'm not considering the guys at the same age, however. I'm considering Carson in his 3rd season and Daunte in his 7th. From that perspective, combined with what I have seen from Carson and his progression, as well as his superior collegiate lineage, I take Carson. Just MO. I would certainly understand if a Vikes fan feels otherwise. That's why they're your team and the Bengals are my team. One of us will be proven correct, but, as they say, that's why they play the games.
This season's stats will probably be a better barometer of Carson Palmer's reliance on Chad Johnson. With the addition of these new receivers, will Carson utilize every receiver on the field, or will he resort to Chad Johnson more often than he should? (is that possible? LOL just ask Chad)
To me, thats the mark of a great QB. The ability to move through reads and complete passes to your third, fourth, and even fifth options on a consistent basis. That's what makes Peyton Manning so much fun to watch.

What's the point in comparing what Culpepper did while Palmer was in high school?
Thus far Culpepper has had the superior career. The reason us Bengal fans would prefer Palmer to Culpepper is because Carson is the up and coming QB and Culpepper's career has peaked. We're looking to the future while the Vikings are on the downswing.
As to this discussion if I'm a Viking fan I'm thrilled with what Culpepper has given me and I'd be fine with hanging onto him for a few more years. But if you're offered Carson Palmer or Ben Roethlisberger for him you'd be fired as a GM if you said no.
Don't cop out and say you don't know. C'mon, we're fans here trying to evaluate talent. Palmer is unproven.Granted there is a significant age difference, but in his prime do you think Palmer can put up numbers like Culpepper's 2004 season? You'd say yes I'm sure, but I don't know, the sample size is just too small. Me, I'd take the known quantity over the one that, to me, is still somewhat unproven.
I'll go on record as saying yes, I think Palmer can put up numbers in his prime equal to Culpepper's 2004. No one knows for sure. But we all like to play GM and that's what running a team is all about. How accurately can you project a player.
Do you think Palmer will put up numbers as good as Culpepper's best year or are you going to plead the 5th again? Tell us yes or no and why you think that way. That's what this board is all about...
No. You are wrong. Unequivocally and Absolutely. The Bengals would not trade Carson Palmer for Daunte Culpepper.Originally Posted by Sea Ray
I'm comparing Palmer in his 2nd year to Culpepper in his 7th; and I like what I see.
Who added the caveat "if the two were the same age, made the money etc"? They'll never be the same age so why add that in? You said you understand not trading Palmer for Daunte so we're in agreement. That's all I've been saying.I understand not wanting to trade Palmer for Culpepper, but I don't think you would find too many NFL personnel guys who wouldn't if the two were the same age, made the same money, etc.
Now if you want to compare the two at the same age then you have to go back to their senior year in college. Palmer was a Heisman Trophy winner and was the #1 pick in the draft. Culpepper was the 5th QB taken that year, so the NFL personnel guys you refer to seem to have preferred Palmer.
I guess I didn't make my point clear. Let me rephrase it with more detail.Originally Posted by WilyMoROCKS
If I'm GM of the Minnesota Vikings and I'm offered Carson Palmer or Ben Roethlisberger one for one for Daunte Culpepper and I say "no thanks", I'll hang onto Culpepper, you'd be fired as GM of the Vikings.
Sorry about that Sea Ray, I mistook what you said as meaning that if you were the Steelers or Bengals, you'd be crazy for saying no to receiving Daunte for Carson or Ben.Originally Posted by WilyMoROCKS

A small company finding it hard to sell its residential energy usage monitoring devices starts a "parent-teenage contract" marketing campaign. The teenager gets the parents to buy the device, and then they both sign a contract stipulating that the teenager will keep half the money saved on reduced energy usage. As the savings start to roll in, the teenager becomes more motivated to improve the household's energy efficiency as do the parents, while the company points to this positive experience as it seeks additional customers for its monitoring device. This model has achieved success on a small scale, but could it be adopted on a wider level as it is driven by a business case, contains ingredients for cultural transformation and taps into incentives that appear to be driving action?
This was one of the many thought-provoking anecdotes shared at the ninth Green Innovation in Business Network (GIBN) Solutions Lab held in Boston where the 90 or so participants spent the day coming up with solutions to barriers faced by companies pursuing energy efficiency. The Pew Center on Global Climate Change was a co-sponsor of the event, along with Environmental Defense Fund, Ashoka, Microsoft, Net Impact Boston and many other partners.
The GIBN Solution Labs are one-day workshops structured in an "unconference" format where participants are divided into small groups of about eight or less. Each group brainstorms solutions to a specific issue or barrier and reports back to the whole group at the end of the day. With the umbrella theme of overcoming barriers to energy efficiency, the Boston GIBN Solutions Lab focused on 14 specific topics, such as financing, making the business case and motivating the public on energy efficiency. Participants including companies, consultants, academics and non-governmental organizations spent the morning exploring a variety of topics and then chose one in the afternoon to focus on in depth through a problem identification and solution design process.
Peter Senge, founding chair of Society for Organizational Learning and senior lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, kicked off the workshop with a thought-provoking speech that emphasized the need for a comprehensive vision for energy efficiency instead of piecemeal solutions. By the end of the workshop some pieces of the vision had emerged: establish energy efficiency as a social norm; create business models that support energy efficiency investments; and design methods to more effectively communicate the benefits of energy efficiency.
The day was filled with a constant buzz of conversations out of which emerged some "out of the box" ideas as well as best practices. The group tackling the issue of motivating the public on energy efficiency proposed a K-12 energy efficiency curriculum that would result in children passing along the learning to their parents. Interestingly, the group on improving energy efficiency of buildings also saw children as key players. It proposed student projects involving energy audits and efficiency implementation measures for school buildings. A "just do it," results-oriented approach was suggested to get senior management buy-in for energy efficiency projects: do the energy audit (which many utilities will provide free of charge) and then use the results of potential energy savings to convince senior management to implement the energy efficiency measures. Creative employee communication methods were also suggested such as distributing figures on how much paper and printer toner is being used by the office or putting up a sign next to the printer asking "Do you really need to print this?" There were also some "out of the box" topics: one group looked at the water-energy nexus and noted that understanding the relationships between water usage and energy could spur new technical innovations such as water-less laundry systems.
Discussions also emphasized known best practices, which were useful to participants just getting started on energy efficiency and sustainability issues. For example, developing a detailed work plan and timeframe when proposing an energy efficiency project to senior management was essential in getting their approval to move ahead. Additionally, continuous monitoring and progress reports are critical in maintaining momentum and receiving the okay to pursue more projects in the future. Recommendations for embedding energy efficiency within corporate supply chains included clearly communicating energy efficiency expectations to suppliers; helping them find the right resources to implement energy efficiency measures; and auditing suppliers to ensure implementation and maintenance.
The end-of-day presentations highlighted that while each group was tackling different topics related to energy efficiency they struggled with some common barriers. For example, financing and communicating energy efficiency were issues that almost all groups found necessary and yet difficult to overcome.
In terms of specific solutions, not everyone went home with sure-fire answers to how they were going to fund their energy efficiency projects or convince senior management to make energy efficiency a priority. However, most participants did leave with at least a few new ideas to try out and the understanding that in order to be an effective component of the effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, energy efficiency required a comprehensive, system-based approach.

Lung diseases
Industrial Strength Bleach Fumes
i accidentally sprayed industrial strength bleach on my windows 4 days ago(picked up the wrong bottle) and now my whole apartment smells with bleach fumes. which is bothering my allergy induced asthma. i have been keeping the windows down trying to air every thing out but it doesnt seem to be clearing out! any suggestions on what i can do to make it clear out quicker? how long do you think the fumes could last up to? thx
One thing you can do is use vinegar on the windows to neutralize the basic (in a chemical sense) chlorine bleach. Let the vinegar sit for a while and then wash with water. Whatever you do, DO NOT use ammonia (it could be lethal).

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The city of Jacksonville is now looking at ways to make parking easier downtown with a new parking code that's expected to be passed Tuesday night by City Council.
Many who park downtown say it's not very convenient, particularly for those who don't have any cash on hand and like paying by credit or debit cards.
"It's kind of annoying that they only take cash," Ben Fink said. "That bothers you they only take cash. It's not convenient."
The city is now trying to make it easier for drivers to park downtown by passing new legislation to fix the city's parking plan. The main change involves parking garages, which currently charge a flat monthly fee for anyone who wants to lease a city parking space in a garage.
"Right now the current code says $85 month-to-month lease," said David DeCamp, a spokesman for the mayor's office. "This will allow us to negotiate long-term agreements that help companies come here and give us the flexibility to do that. And it gives us ways to adjust the needs and the demands of companies for downtown parking."
City managers say that inflexibility has cut them out of some downtown parking deals in the past. This new plan now is to allow the city to negotiate with firms to allow for cheaper parking rates by guaranteeing there be workers to to fill the spots.
The city says everyone wins.
"Everyone loves lower rates. You can't go wrong there," Shannon Everline said.
The new parking codes also will allow for more electronic meters. There are about 500 in Jacksonville, but the city hopes to replace the 1,100 more in the future.
"Obviously, everything is dependent on financing and funding, and as funding is available, we will look at how we can upgrade the meters and make it easier," DeCamp said.

Kudos go to the caller from Auburn Hills who stated prison was too good for the two individuals who killed 80-year-old Nancy Daly. I totally agree that for those two people, prison would be like a country club. It would not be a strong enough punishment. Too many people in this state place no value on human life and therefore an-eye-for-an-eye policy should be in place. When there is no doubt who committed the murder, capital punishment should be required.

There has been a number of articles in the media about the terrible things that happened in a Catholic archdiocese where a number of priests victimized boys. The one thing that was never mentioned in these articles is that the priests are homosexual pedophiles. It's become almost an article of faith among the media that homosexuals can do no wrong and that these priests must have been some sort of other species. They were actually homosexual pedophiles.

Complete Dentures
What are Complete Dentures?
Complete dentures or Full dentures are removable appliances that are used for the replacement of all missing teeth in one or both of the dental arches of a patient. These are artificial set of teeth that is used for maintaining functional integrity of oral tissues, thereby helping the patient in the process of mastication.
Dentures are designed by a prosthodontist or a denturist for edentulous patients and are custom-made in a dental lab after taking the impressions of both the upper and lower jaws.
The full dentures are made with acrylic based material that snugly fits over the gum tissues of the jaw arches.
What are the types of Complete Dentures?
Partial Dentures
What are Partial Dentures?
Partial Dentures are the dental appliances used for the replacement of a single missing tooth or a set of teeth in either the maxillary or mandibular dental arch. They are particularly beneficial for people who have lost only a few teeth from their oral cavity while the rest of their teeth are in good condition. The dentures are custom-made for each individual patient and are constructed by a prosthodontist or a denturist. Partial Dentures are the artificial teeth which are used to fill up gaps created due to tooth loss and to restore the functional integrity of missing structures. Missing teeth are aesthetically unappealing and often lead to the build-up of food and bacteria over the gum tissue which may result in disease. Partial Dentures help improve the aesthetics of the mouth and also the process of mastication.
What are the types of Partial Dentures?
Partial Dentures can be divided into two broad categories:

Cancer Genetics
MRIs on Babies
I have a 7 1/2 month old baby. Would it be ok for her to have an MRI done? Would it hurt her in any way? And would there be a risk of her having a higher risk of getting cancer from having an MIR?
There are probably minimal risks for the MRI; the concern is that the child will probably have to be sedated; the risks should be discussed with the physician recommending this screening. MRI does not involve radiation (magnetic resonance imaging) and would not be expected affect cancer risk.

Sources told ESPN.com this week that, to sweeten the proposal, New Jersey would likewise offer to take back the contract of Magic forward Hedo Turkoglu, who has three seasons left on his contract worth just under $35 million. Absorbing Turkoglu's remaining salary would become financially feasible for the Nets after the expected release of swingman Travis Outlaw through the amnesty clause that will be included in the NBA's new collective bargaining agreement and by including another smaller contract or two in the deal.

Got it
Wojnarowski: Gerald Wallace / Dwight Howard Trade Talks Dead?
Update (11:18 A.M.): Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports that "Orlando has ended trade talks for Dwight Howard... Magic decided to take Dwight Howard off market, ending talks with Nets and the rest of his NBA suitors for now."
Chad Ford of ESPN.com reports: "Nets offered everything they could for Howard: Brook Lopez + FIVE 1st Rd picks. Theirs in 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018 + Rockets 2012 pick."
The news comes roughly one hour before the media availability portion of Portland Trail Blazers training camp practice is set to open on Wednesday.
Sam Amick of SI.com confirms the report (note this has been updated after the trade talks reportedly died.
The deal would have sent Howard, small forward Hedo Turkoglu and point guard Chris Duhon to the Nets; Blazers small forward Gerald Wallace, Nets centers Brook Lopez and Johan Petro, and possibly a first-round draft pick to the Magic; and a whopping four first-round draft picks to the Blazers.
Holy crap 5 first round picks from the nets and they said no? I guess they really meant it when they said they weren't going to let Howard walk.
ah..I see 4 of those would have went to the blazers...meh
Adrian Wojnarowski
Privately, Portland believes Gerald Wallace has evolved into Blazer "heart and soul" and are hesitant to move him for picks and cap space.
Would I trade for Dwight right now?
No. We don't even know what we have as our current roster stands. I'd like to see what this group becomes first.
If come the trade deadline we're 5-10 games below .500 then its a whole different story.
Ask me again in March.
Howard isn't giving up $50M. If we traded for him now, he'd resign with us.
No, it's lost money. An endorsement is an endorsement. I'd be shocked if he turned down an extra $50M which is probably why Orlando widened up and took him off the market.
He's making endorsement money either way though, right? So it's still 50m less.
Howard nees to be strategic and go to another small market team or Stern and Gilbert will block the trade. What a joke. They're all about money.
Please don't advertise without permission.
As others have stated, hell no.
At this moment and time, I'm not entertaining any trade rumors. We HAVE a team now. They can only get better with the passage of time.
5 players over time >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Howard for half a season.
If we make a solid run in the playoffs this year, I'm not sure why Dwight or any top free agent wouldn't want to come here in the offseason. We have the cap space and the supporting talent to be title contenders with any top free agent signing next summer.
Can't hurt to offer him and/or Deron Williams a max contract this offseason. If they come, great. If they don't, oh well we weren't a favorite to get them anyway. I wouldn't trade away our extremely bright future to get Howard for a year. I'm enthusiastic about our frontcourt.
Just like Westbrook, this is pointless and has zero percent chance of happening.

You may have noticed this new acronym popping up on some of our products. RoHS stands for Restrictions on Hazardous Substances, and it's a directive that could have a huge impact on the production and disposal of consumer electronics. First adopted in Europe in 2006 (and later adopted in California in 2007), RoHS restricts the use of six dangerous substances in lots of common electronics. According to the official RoHS compliance Web site (www.rohs.eu), the RoHS symbol indicates that "new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market does not contain any of the six banned substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, poly-brominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), in quantities exceeding maximum concentration values."
While some military and medical equipment is exempt from RoHS compliance, the electronics governed by the standard are among the most common you'll find in your home, from radios to MP3 players to cell phones and (increasingly) computers. In practical terms, the standard protects factory workers at the production level, sharply reducing their exposure to hazardous substances. The standard also has a profound impact on the disposal and recycling of electronics, in that disposed substances will no longer have at least six of the most hazardous chemicals formerly found in electronics, and recycled electronics will not expose workers to toxics as they harvest components.
This 15dBi antenna is the best antenna we tested for point to point applications over long distances. In our tests, it provided a much stronger signal than other Yagis claiming the same gain, and at half the size. This compact antenna has a narrow beam width (16 degrees horizontal/21 degrees vertical) that directs the WiFi signal and helps to prevent interference from your neighbors equipment. With their permission you could even log onto theirs. It's called sharing. The antenna is made of precision cast aluminum alloy and is protected with a durable, powder coat finish, and the design presents very little wind resistance.

STAGE TUBE: Go Behind the Scenes of Pilobolus' AZIMUTH, Premiering Tonight, 7/18
The groundbreaking and internationally acclaimed dance company Pilobolus today unveiled a behind-the-scenes video of its new work, Aziumth. The piece will have its New York premiere tonight as part of Pilobolus's 2012 Joyce Theater engagement, which began performances on Monday, July 16, and runs through August 11. Tonight will mark the first performance of the engagement's Program B, which features Azimuth. Watch the video below!
A product of Pilobolus's International Collaborators Project, which curates and convenes multi-disciplinary artists to choreograph using Pilobolus's creative method with the company's directors and dancers, Azimuth represents a unique collaboration with MacArthur "Genius" Award-winning master juggler Michael Moschen. The piece turns the act of juggling on its side. Uniting the underlying spirit of Pilobolus's work-support, humanity, connection-with his own fascination with the emotional and physical properties that govern human interaction, Moschen investigates the geometries of the universe through objects that roll in harmony with the dancers and the celestial machine. Azimuth, an astrology term referring to the arc of the horizon, was choreographed by Pilobolus's Renee Jaworski and Michael Tracy, along with Moschen.
In 2007, to expand its collaborative practices, Pilobolus launched the International Collaborators Project, a series of collective choreographic projects with multi-disciplinary artists, such as writer and illustrator, Maurice Sendak; the Israeli choreographic team, Inbal Pinto and Avshalom Pollak; the remarkable American puppeteer, Basil Twist; Pulitzer Prize-winner, comic artist Art Spiegelman; the Grammy-winning American composer and musician Dan Zanes; the band OK Go; the MIT Distributed Robotics Laboratory directed by Professor Daniela Rus; the Japanese butoh choreographer Takuya Muramatsu; the radio program Radiolab; and the Belgian-Moroccan choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. The interactive video that Pilobolus created with OK Go and Google, "All Is Not Lost", was nominated for a 2012 Grammy Award.
Michael Moschen is a juggler. He has created unique objects and manipulation techniques for Performance Theater for thirty years. Utilizing his self- taught 'creative process' he questions and explores what it is to be human. Presently, he is completing a self-imposed challenge to create, from scratch, progressive physical skills and simple objects that celebrate each individual person's ability to learn and share simple mathematics, music and physics. Moschen is the recipient of a MacArthur "Genius" Grant.
Pilobolus is a modern performance company, founded in 1971, that to this day wears its revolutionary stripes on its sleeves. In keeping with its fundamentally collective creative process, Pilobolus Dance Theatre now curates and convenes groups of diverse artists- including the MIT Distributed Robotics Laboratory, Art Spiegelman, OK Go, Radiolab, and many others-to make inventive, athletic, witty, collaborative performance works on stage and screen using the human body as a medium for expression. Pilobolus makes art to build community. It teaches its group-based creative process to performers and non-dancers alike through popular, unique educational projects and programs. This collection of activities is called the Pilobolus Institute. Pilobolus also applies its method of creative invention to a wide range of movement services for film, advertising, publishing, commercial clients, and corporate events. This division is called Pilobolus Creative Services.
The 2012 season marks Pilobolus's 41st year. In keeping with the energy and spirit of its biological namesake-a phototropic fungus that thrives in farmyards-the company has continued to grow toward the light, expanding and refining its unique methods of collective creative production to assemble a repertoire of over 100 choreographic works. While it has become a stable and influential force in the world of dance, Pilobolus remains as protean as ever, looking forward to the next 40 years of collaborating on the future.

Hello everyone.
My name is Nima, im Persian. im a 24 year old man. Im an artist and a designer.
I have always had respect for Buddhist teachings since childhood.
I am not worthy of calling myself a Buddhist; for many reasons, one is my lack of proper knowledge in the teachings
and another is the main reason that im here. Im in search of a pure soul, and at the moment it is not close to that.
I want a mentor. Someone to guide me, teach me, and help me heal. battle my inner impurities and feel worthy of being a human.

FIVE men have been jailed for drug offences following an undercover police operation in Swindon.
Ares Agnelli, 26, of Graham Street, Rahim Moussa, 24, of Gooch Street, Barkhad Jama, 29, of West Drayton, Middlesex, Valentino Aloba, 24, of Westcott Place and Gary Turner, 34, of Frobisher Drive, all pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply class A drugs.
Agnelli was sentenced to 4 years 8 months, Moussa, Jama and Aloba were given 2 years 8 months each and Turner received 3 years.
A sixth man, Shane Harper, 23, of no fixed abode failed to turn up to the hearing and a warrant for his arrest has been issued.
The men were all part of the Locks drugs network which distributed heroin and crack cocaine in and around Swindon.
The undercover operation ran from June to December last year and involved undercover officers infiltrating the gang and buying drugs.
A number of police raids also took place at addresses in Cricklade Road and Manchester Road.
These latest arrests were the result of police activity under Operation Atlantic - a dedicated operation targeting individuals who come into the county to deal Class A drugs.
Head of the drugs unit at Wiltshire Police, Sergeant Scott Hargreave said: "This case is just an example of the policing activity in what is an everyday priority and we will continue to arrest, disrupt and counter drugs traffickers seeking to establish their trade here.
"These individuals bring harm into our communities through drugs and associated crime and violence.
"Historically, they have seen Wiltshire as a place where they can peddle their trade unchecked.
"Since the inception of Operation Atlantic and a coordinated effort by Wiltshire Police and partner agencies in Swindon and the rest of Wiltshire to tackle these individuals, the success has been remarkable.
"We have intelligence to indicate the drug traffickers from larger cities such as London and Bristol no longer see Swindon and Wiltshire as an 'easy' place for them because of the continued police action against them.
"Over the past year we have increased patrols in certain areas and targeted addresses which are believed are being used for drug dealing."
If anyone has any information which they believe could be helpful they can call the Wiltshire Police drugs helpline on 01793 507900 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be left anonymously.

While I've long believed I would not see an openly gay NFL player for decades, that might be wrong.
Based on interviews over the past several weeks with current and former players, I'm told that a current gay NFL player is strongly considering coming out publicly within the next few months -- and after doing so, the player would attempt to continue his career.
I'm told this player feels the time is now for someone to take this step -- despite homophobic remarks from San Francisco 49ers defensive back Chris Culliver and the controversy arising recently at the Indianapolis Scouting combine, when prospects were asked questions about their sexuality.
This player's true concern, I'm told, is not the reaction inside an NFL locker room but outside of it. The player fears he will suffer serious harm from homophobic fans, and that is the only thing preventing him from coming out. My sources will not say who this alleged player is.
There has never been an active openly gay player in a major American team sport, but the information I've gathered on the player in question comes from several current and former players.

A moment during the homily by Bishop Brian Farrell, LC, when he exhorted the new priests to live their vocation with generosity.
My dear Deacons:1. You have just expressed your acceptance of
the call of the Church of Christ for a particular
mission, a transcendent salvific service, on behalf of all men.
You will be bridges between earthly realities and that most
authentic and true reality of God and the Kingdom of
Christ. In a few moments, the Bishops and priests here
gathered, will lay our hands on you to constitute you,
by the power of the Holy Spirit, priests of Christ.
We will consecrate your hands with the Holy Chrism, to
sanctify you and to invoke upon you grace, wisdom and
courage, so that you can go to the ends of
the earth to proclaim the Good News of Christ and
be witnesses of his resurrection. "As the Father has loved
me, so I have loved you… As the Father has
sent me, so I have sent you…". Remember this well:
It is not that you have loved Christ, but rather
that Christ first has loved you. Your "yes" is a
response to his call: "You have not chosen me, but
I have chosen you" (John 15:16).2. Your ordination takes place
in this splendid Basilica of St. Paul, next to the
tomb of the Apostle who worked untiringly to spread the
Gospel. The transformation of Saul into Paul happened in an
encounter with the risen Christ; for Saul was a man
who relied too much on himself and was arrogant toward
Jesus and his followers, yet he falls to the ground,
blind, vulnerable and humbled. Years later he vividly recalls his
thoughts in that moment: "Who are you, Lord? And the
Lord said: 'I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are
persecuting'"(Acts 26:15). Paul was struck with this thought: Jesus is
alive and present in the community of the disciples. There
is a new people who see in Jesus of Nazareth,
the Christ whom his people, the people chosen by God,
have waited for so long. There is a new community
who constitutes "the body of Christ". "We, though many, are
one body in Christ and individually members one of another"
(Romans 12:5). We are one people, one community, one Church!
One body in Christ.A first consequence of this new understanding
is one for Paul himself. He must incorporate himself into
that community which up to now he persecuted. He has
to bind himself to the disciples, and in particular to
the apostles who came before him. We can only wonder
at how much this new fidelity – this leaving behind
all that he had loved up to then – must
have cost Paul, who wrote to the Romans: "I have
great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I
could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off
from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen
by race. They are Israelites, and to them belong the
sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law,
the sonship and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs,
and of their race, according to the flesh, is the
Christ, who is God over all, blessed for ever" (Romans
9:2-5). But Paul does not retreat. From now on Christ
is everything to him. He became so committed to Jesus
that he said: "For me, to live is Christ" (Phil
1:21) and "I have been won over by Christ" (Phil
3:12).A second consequence is that Paul, strengthened by his experience
on the way to Damascus, understood that the life of
a disciple, both individually and with others, is not only
an external imitation of a Master and model; Christian life
is not only an ethical or moral force, of self-perfection
according to a code of conduct, be this wise and
sublime. Christian life is a true transformation. Without forgetting the
ontological difference between Creator and creature, we must remember that
Christian life – when brought to its full realization –
is nothing other than a process of assimilation to God
himself, a process which is brought about in the celebration
of the sacraments, most eminently in the Eucharist, in the
wiping away of the effects of sin and in configuration
to Christ, and consequently in obedience to God's will in
daily life. The priesthood you receive today is placed at
the service of sanctifying, teaching and guiding the whole people
of God. "Every high priest chosen from among men is
appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to
God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins… he is
bound to offer sacrifice for his own sins as well
as for those of the people" (Hebrews 5:1-3).3. Your ordination
takes place within the year dedicated in a special way
to priests. If these are difficult times for the Church,
they are also, in a particular way, difficult times for
Christ's ministers, who have the task of caring for the
life and well-being of the pilgrim Church on earth -
hence Christ's ministers often become the objects of the opposition
directed towards the Church.4. A beautiful description of the Church
is the following: the Church is Jesus Christ transmitted –
poured out and communicated. The love of God's heart for
men is always living and active. "God so loved the
world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes
in him should not perish but have eternal life" (John
3:16). This Love is made present in the world until
the end of time, especially through the gift of the
Eucharist, which contains the whole treasure of the Church. In
the Mass, in Communion, in the Tabernacle, Jesus chose in
a marvellous way to remain with us and to communicate
his love to us. According to God's plan, the Eucharist
becomes real presence and efficacious sacrifice through that ministry which
is sacramentally configured to Christ the High Priest. For two-thousand
years the Holy Spirit, as today, has introduced chosen men
into a sacramental participation in this extraordinary interplay between divine
love – that flows from the Father, is made present
in Christ, and becomes operative in us through the out-pouring
of the Holy Spirit – and the love of the
disciples who united to Christ give themselves to God and
to their brothers.5. When he announced this special Year for
Priests, our Holy Father described the context in which the
priest carries out his work. He said: "The priest's mission
is carried out 'in the Church'. This ecclesial, communal, hierarchical
and doctrinal dimension is absolutely indispensable to every authentic mission
and, alone guarantees its spiritual effectiveness. The four aspects mentioned
must always be recognized as intimately connected: - the mission
is 'ecclesial' because no one proclaims himself in the first
person, but within and through his own humanity every priest
must be well aware that he is bringing to the
world Another, God himself. God is the only treasure which
ultimately people desire to find in a priest.- The mission
is 'communal' because it is carried out in a unity
and communion that only secondly has also important aspects of
social visibility. Moreover, these derive essentially from that divine intimacy
in which the priest is called to be expert, so
that he may be able to lead the souls entrusted
to him humbly and trustingly to the same encounter with
the Lord. - Lastly, the 'hierarchical' and 'doctrinal' dimensions suggest
reaffirming the importance of the ecclesiastical discipline (the term has
a connection with 'disciple') and doctrinal training and not only
theological, initial and continuing formation" (March 16, 2009).6. I would
like to comment on another context: Did you want to
choose Legionary life? Good, but remember that the Legion, that
is now coming to life under the sign of the
Cross, will only have a future if we all abandon
every sentiment of self-sufficiency and understand that we are essentially
in a permanent state of conversion, which is never acquired
once and for all. The field that the Lord opens
up for your work is immense. But the value of
your apostolate is not founded on the goods of this
world or on yourselves. Rather, its roots are found in
the goods that are of Christ; that Christ who lives
and grows within us. St. Paul understood this: "It is
no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in
me!" (Gal 2:20).7. The priesthood is not your own; it
is always for others. It has an essentially missionary dimension.
Christ is sending you into the world, to continue the
work that the Father gave him: "As you have sent
me into the world, so I send them into the
world" (John 17:18). It is a world in which a
culture of oppression and death reigns in large part. It
is a confused and divided world, which has cast aside
the teachings of Christ and his Church. It is to
this world that you are to announce the truth of
Christ. It is an immense task and a great and
pressing responsibility. But have no fear, Jesus is always with
you to reassure you: "I am with you… It is
I, do not be afraid…". With him, you have everything
you need. He asks you to renounce everything; but in
return he gives you "His All". Jesus, in sending you,
promises: "I have appointed you that you should go and
bear fruit and that your fruit should abide; so that
whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may
give it to you" (John 15:16).What fruit can and should
the priest bear? To this question, I offer the answer
of Pope Benedict XVI who, in his announcement of the
"Year for Priests", said: "God is the only treasure which
ultimately people desire to find in a priest". This is
the most beautiful wish and program that we can offer
you for your priestly life! May you be men of
God! May you bring God to others!May the great Mother
of God, the Virgin of Guadalupe (on whose feast you
are ordained), accompany you in every step of your priestly
life! May the Mother of Tenderness sustain you wherever you
are in your service to your brothers and sisters.I offer
my most heartfelt congratulations and best-wishes to you, your parents,
your family and friends, as well as the Legion who
today counts among its ranks new laborers for good and

We survived, all things poopy are being laundered (probably multiple times) and life goes on.
FWQAL blocks! Hip hip horray!
I'm still pretty early in the process, only having 6 blocks finished, with 105 to go... and thus I haven't yet decided if I'll place the blocks on point, like above, or... hmmm, NOT on point, like below. I'll show both options until I decide. These are old style blocks but made with modern fabrics, so what is a quilter to do? Go old-school or modernize? The book puts the blocks on point but I'm not sure it suits me.
Here's what all 6 blocks look like together. Right now the red block stands out, which bugs me, but I'll work in more red to balance it out. I think some deeper blues, and oranges will help too. Its slowly coming together and I even splurged on a 6.5"sq quilting ruler to easily square up each block. I'm loving it so far!
This week I'm working on backing and quilting this lovely top for charity via the Columbus MQG. If you're in the Central Ohio area, our next meeting is this Thursday @7pm! Whether you've been quilting for 20 years or 2 weeks, do consider coming!
{stepping off soap box now}
How are you all handling the heat (if you're in the 2/3 of the US with record temperatures?)
We've been going to the pool a lot, and staying in the air conditioning mostly. Oh, and sipping on the best homemade iced coffee EVER. Yum!

Great for On-The-Go...ONLYThois 2-in-1 works well. My hair is even better then before using this product (probably because of the deeeeep conditioner im using). A few times I havent had the time to take a proper shower and ive just rinsed with this. I would not reccommend this to someone who has fine hair.

Best EverI have very thick, naturally wavy hair that can be hard to deal with. Using Aussie Moist 2 in 1 always makes it look its best. It's soft, shiny, smooth all the time. I can wash my hair every day and get the same results. I can use a blow dryer or let it air dry and it looks the same. It never looks brittle or dry and the frizz is kept to a minimum, which with my hair is a miracle! And one of the b...read moreest things about it is the price - no high priced salon products have ever worked on my hair as well as Aussie. — 8 years, 1 month agoPearla | 1 reviews

Kimi Räikkönen feels he still has something to prove at the flood-lit Marina Bay Circuit in Singapore and after a strong run to fifth place in Monza, the Flying Finn moved into third position in the Drivers' Championship, just one point off second spot.
The final two European races of the season have been tough going for Lotus F1 Team, with one car exiting the Belgian Grand Prix in an incident which left Romain Grosjean banned for the subsequent race in Italy; a race where the team weren't able to display the pace they hitherto have done so this season. Spa may not have delivered the performance that the team wanted, and the characteristics of Monza may have made it unlikely for Lotus F1 Team to be seen fighting at the front, but Singapore is rather different and should play back into the hands of the E20.
After a weekend on the sidelines in Italy, Romain is back in the hot seat for the Singapore Grand Prix and keen to put his learning experience from Monza into practice.
Kimi Räikkönen
"We have had six podiums so far and scored as many points as the top guys in last few races. We have managed to get everything out of our package. Hopefully we are able to carry on in the next races, too. Third in the championship is good, but second is just one point away…
I have some unfinished business after my two Singapore GPs so far, as I have never scored a point. That doesn't mean I'm not quick there as I've been told I still hold the lap record from 2008.
Romain Grosjean
"Apart from actually being in the car, I think the weekend in Monza was the best preparation I could have for Singapore.
The grids are so close this year that any tiny thing can mean the difference between being at the front and sitting in the midfield.
It's a very high downforce track and that seems to suit us best as we saw in Budapest. In terms of the tyres I think we should be looking good too; it's always an interesting race, so I'm looking forward to it."
Eric Boullier
"We have a few upgrades scheduled for Singapore and they should bring some extra performance. Also, I'm very happy with how we've improved our pitstops this season. We broke our all-time record in Monza with 2.44 seconds, but most importantly all of our pitstops were consistent. This was not by chance; the whole team put a lot of effort in and, as you know, such a step forward can have a massive impact on the outcome of a race.
Kimi is currently third. Anything can happen. We're not naive though, and we know that his chances are slim. However, we'll push like hell as long as there is a mathematical chance of winning it. Romain is in good spirits. There are some positives to take from this experience. For example, Romain followed Kimi's weekend quite closely and I'm sure that he has noticed a few useful tricks. Now, the situation is back to normal and I hope we can put this story behind us.
[As a team] we've always said that fourth was our goal this year but looking at our pace, it would be legitimate to try and have a go at third if we can. The pack is so tight that anything is possible. We just need to score points – consistently and with both cars – until the end of the season."
Marina Bay In Numbers
2.5 Highest g-force experienced for 3 seconds at T22/23

On Track
Approaching turns 1+2 is the second fastest part of the track, with speeds of around 290kph reached before the Sheares corner. This is followed by hard braking to around 90kph at turn 3.
The fastest part of the track with speeds of around 298kph reached before the approach to this sharp left hander.
Two of the slowest parts of the track with speeds of around 80kph and extensive kerb use for the quickest line.
Another slow corner at 85kph.
The rubber kerbs used on many the corner apexes have been replaced with fabricated steel versions for this year.
Maximum downforce here, especially with so many low speed corners and frequent traction demands.
Maximum downforce levels as understeer could prove costly with the walls so close.
There are several high kerbs around the circuit, requiring good suspension compliance. The continual braking demands also call for a softer car; a requirement balanced against wanting to run the car as low as possible without wearing the plank too much.
Brakes are under constant use. Although none of the braking demands are individually massive, it's the relentless nature of continually braking which means they never have an opportunity to cool. This affects the discs, pads and even the brake callipers themselves.
Pirelli's softest allocation of the soft and supersoft compounds are nominated here. With 23 corners, the tyres have to perform very well under traction and braking. One of the biggest causes of tyre wear is wheelspin so rear suspension will be set up to give maximum longitudinal grip. Singapore is a long 61-lap race
that normally goes up to the two-hour limit, which puts further stress on the tyres; particularly as the cars carry one of the heaviest fuel loads of the year. One factor in favour of the tyres
is that – being a night race – the track temperature drops from a peak of around 50 deg C in the day to closer to 30 deg during running times.
With an average speed of under 170kph, engine maps are designed to target driveability through the lower revs. Of the 23 corners, ten are taken in second or first, seven in third and only one is taken in fourth gear, which means that the engine is working at between 8,000rpm and 13,000rpm for the majority of the corner apexes and exits.

The Woodland High School engineering program has been awarded a $10,000 grant by PG&E.
This grant will be used to help fund both the Introduction to Engineering and the Principals of Engineering courses, which are both part of Woodland High School's Project Lead the Way program.
Project Lead the Way focuses on learning in four disciplines: science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The focus on STEM is due to the intense need for individuals skilled in these areas to participate in our highly technical global economy.
The Project Lead the Way engineering program was designed by engineers to give students hands-on, real world experience, in the engineering industry.
All Project Lead the Way teachers go through an extensive two-week summer training where they take the same courses their students complete. All students have the opportunity to earn college credit at the end of their course completion.
WHS Principal Michelle Seijas reported that she was grateful for the support that PG&E is providing for the students.
She stated, "The generous financial support of PG&E will help us to continue building programs where students develop hands-on project-based learning. Our students need skills that will assist them in taking on modern real world challenges."

Duke Cunningham bribery scandal may also become a lobbyist prostitution scandal
There's more info and speculation at the Daily Kos.
Federal authorities are investigating allegations that a California defense contractor arranged for a Washington area limousine company to provide prostitutes to convicted former congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-Calif.) and possibly other lawmakers, sources familiar with the probe said yesterday.
In recent weeks, investigators have focused on possible dealings between Christopher D. Baker, president of Shirlington Limousine and Transportation Inc., and Brent R. Wilkes, a San Diego businessman who is under investigation for bribing Cunningham in return for millions of dollars in federal contracts, said one source, who requested anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.
The Cunningham investigation's latest twist came after Mitchell J. Wade, a defense contractor who has admitted bribing the former congressman, told prosecutors that Wilkes had an arrangement with Shirlington Limousine, which in turn had an arrangement with at least one escort service, one source said. Wade said limos would pick up Cunningham and a prostitute and bring them to suites Wilkes maintained at the Watergate Hotel and the Westin Grand in Washington, the source said.

Fainting occurs when the blood supply to your brain is momentarily inadequate, causing you to lose consciousness. This loss of consciousness is usually brief.
Fainting can have no medical significance, or the cause can be a serious disorder. Therefore, treat loss of consciousness as a medical emergency until the signs and symptoms are relieved and the cause is known. Discuss recurrent fainting spells with your doctor.
If the person was injured in a fall associated with a faint, treat any bumps, bruises or cuts appropriately. Control bleeding with direct pressure.

Why Should You Care About Clinical Trials?
If you or someone you care about has lupus, you know how badly new drugs for lupus are needed. Researchers, doctors, drug companies, and others are working on this. To test whether they have identified a drug that is safe and will work, they run what is called a "clinical trial," in which people with lupus try it out.
Why take part in a clinical trial?
A person enrolled in a clinical trial usually gets several positive things out of the experience, such as expert care by the doctors and nurses who are helping to run the trial, and a chance to try out a treatment before it is widely available.
Many people who take part in a clinical trial also say that it makes them feel really good to give researchers a chance to learn so much. Without enough people in clinical trials, it's very unlikely that new drugs and better ways of preventing and caring for lupus will come about.
Who can participate in a clinical trial?
Very carefully written guidelines say who can participate. Depending on the trial's goal, there may be rules about such things as age, severity of lupus, treatment history, and the presence of other health conditions. The purpose of these rules is to let the researchers safely and efficiently answer the questions that the trial is designed to answer. Also, strict rules protect the health and privacy of participants.
Are there different types of clinical trials for lupus?
There are several, each with a different overall purpose.
- Treatment trials test new treatments or drug combinations.
- Prevention trials look for better ways to prevent flares or even stop lupus from developing in people who have never had it. All sorts of things—medicines, vitamins, vaccines, minerals, lifestyle changes—are tested in these kinds of trials.
- "Diagnostic" trials and "Screening" trials aim to find better tests for diagnosing or detecting lupus (or flares) before serious damage is done.
- Quality of Life trials search for ways to improve the comfort and quality of life for people with lupus.
What happens in a clinical trial?
This depends partly on what type of trial is being done. A treatment trial on a new drug is done in stages, for example, with studies for safety and effectiveness done in labs and animals before people are involved in any way. All treatment trials go through "Phases" that involve increasingly larger numbers of people.
What happens to a person in a clinical trial?
At the beginning of a trial, a team that includes doctors, nurses, and social workers check the person's health and give instructions on what is involved in participating.
During the trail and even after it ends, the team watches the participant carefully through many visits.
What risks are involved?
By law, the team must carefully explain all the possible known outcomes. The treatment may not work well, for example, or may cause unpleasant or even serious side effects. Involvement may also require many trips to the study site, hospital stays, or more treatments.
How can you find a clinical trial?
- Ask your doctor
- Call the university hospital in your area
- Visit LupusTrials.org for listings

Have you ever wanted to share the enjoyable view seen through your telescope with a few friends or family members? Well, now you can do just that with the innovative and affordable Orion StarShoot Video Eyepiece. Now you can easily view what you see in your telescope on your TV screen or camcorder! The Video eyepiece sends live images of the Moon, bright planets, Sun (solar filter required), and terrestrial subjects as seen through the telescope to a TV set, camcorder, or any other device with an RCA video input. Now the whole family, classroom, or astronomical society can enjoy the view right along with you, as if you were all looking through the same telescope.
The StarShoot Video eyepiece is compatible with any telescope equipped with a 1.25" focuser, or a 2" focuser with a 2"-to- 1.25" step-down adapter. While a telescope attached to a tracking motor-equipped mount will provide the best results for nighttime use, even non-motorized telescopes like Dobsonian reflectors work well with this petite performer. During daylight hours, the StarShoot Video Eyepiece can add crowd-pleasing performance to any telescope outfitted for terrestrial use. Telescopic views of birds, wildlife, and scenery can be seen and enjoyed on your TV screen.
This handy video "eyepiece" imager provides an inexpensive entry into the rewarding realm of astrophotography. The StarShoot Video Eyepiece features a CMOS sensor chip with 8-bit output and RGB 24-bit color resolution. The sensor's small 9.2µm x 7.2µm pixel size accurately detects fine details. While not sensitive enough to capture images of faint deep space objects, the Video Eyepiece enables you to share telescopic views of brighter objects within our solar system like the Moon and brighter planets like Jupiter and Saturn. The view transmitted by the StarShoot Video Eyepiece is comparable to what you would see using a 5mm eyepiece.
The 1.25" nosepiece is threaded for use with any Orion 1.25" eyepiece filter, so you can enhance your view to your liking by using a Moon filter, light pollution filter, color planetary filters, and more (filters sold separately). You can also use our StarShoot 0.5x Focal Reducer (sold separately) if you'd like to view a wider area.
The StarShoot Video Eyepiece is powered by the included AC-to-DC adapter, which has a long 70" cable for convenient use with your telescope.
With an Orion StarShoot Video Eyepiece you can start enjoying the night sky and daytime terrestrial views through your TV!
The StarShoot Video Eyepiece is compatible with the National Television System Committee (NTSC) standard only, which is used throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico, South America (excluding Brazil and Argentina), Burma, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Republic of the Philippines, and many Pacific island nations and territories.

First Opening Day brings butterflies for Hamilton
CINCINNATI -- Billy Hamilton experienced his first big league games in September. But Opening Day was another experience altogether, and the Reds center fielder knew it.
After he cemented his starting job in the leadoff spot during Spring Training, Hamilton had plenty of anticipation.
"I couldn't sleep last night," Hamilton said before Monday's opener vs. the Cardinals. "I'd sleep about 30 minutes, wake up, sleep 30 more minutes and was just thinking about the game. I feel like I'm back in my high school championship game."
Hamilton batted .327 with a .381 on-base percentage while going 9-for-9 in steals to impress at the plate during camp.
"I got done what I needed to get done," Hamilton said. "I felt like I got better as a player. I've just got to change over from Spring Training to now."
