In a recent post, I argued that a book called The Case for Marriage has perpetrated many of the false claims about the benefits of getting married. It does so by supposedly drawing from the professional research literature. I looked at the claims in the book, and compared them to the published version of the research they cite. The results are not pretty. Here's an example, from a section of Singled Out: How Singles Are Stereotyped, Stigmatized, and Ignored, and Still Live Happily Ever After (pp. 52-55).
EXCERPT FROM Singled Out:
I bet you can anticipate the bottom line of Waite and Gallagher's chapter on sex. Married couples have more sex and better sex.
There is only one problem with that conclusion: It is not exactly true. Married people do not have the most sex - cohabiting people do.
If I were in Waite and Gallagher's place and wanted to defend married people's second place finish in the sexual frequency sweepstakes, I'd say that raw frequency means nothing apart from desired frequency. So what if co-habitors are having the most sex if one partner wants even more and the other wishes there were a whole lot less? Maybe married people are more likely to get the amount of sex that they want.
Waite and Gallagher try to shrug off the more active sex lives of co-habitors in a different way. Co-habiting relationships, they say, are more likely than marriages to be "built around sex." In Waite and Gallagher's view, married people who are not having sex still consider themselves to be married, but if co-habiting people are not having sex, then they just consider themselves to be roommates.
Does that sound unconvincing? That's OK. Waite and Gallagher are ready with another way to diminish the people who are having more sex than married people: "They don't seem to enjoy it quite as much." In support of their conclusion that married people have more extremely satisfying sex than other people do, Waite and Gallagher cite a lot of percentages. Those numbers are listed in the first column of data in the table below. In the adjacent column are actual numbers from the original source, The National Sex Survey.
What Percentage of People are Extremely Emotionally Satisfied with their Sex Lives?
Using Waite and Gallagher's Categories
Waite and Gallagher's Numbers (WG)
Actual Numbers from
The National Sex Survey (Actual)
Married men: 48 (WG), 48.9 (Actual)
Co-habiting men: 37 (WG), 35.2 for single co-habitors,
52.6 for div / sep co-habitors (actual)
Married women: 42 (WG), 42.1 (Actual)
Single women with sexual partner: 31 (WG) 31.4 for not co-habiting,
44.1 for co-habiting (actual)
Divorced with sexual partner: 27 (WG), 27.4 for not co-habiting
36.5 for co-habiting (actual)
Waite and Gallagher were reasonably accurate when they described the satisfaction of married people. When you compare the percentages they report for the married men and married women to the actual percentages from the National Sex Survey, the two sets are similar. But Waite and Gallagher really did a number on everyone else.
Take, for example, this claim: "For men, having a wife beats shacking up by a wide margin: 48 percent of husbands say sex with their partner is extremely satisfying emotionally, compared to just 37 percent of cohabiting men." Now look at the second row of numbers in the table (the one corresponding to the co-habiting men). Yes, 37 percent is close enough to the actual number of single co-habiting men who describe their sex as extremely emotionally satisfying. But Waite and Gallagher do not happen to mention that for divorced men who are co-habiting, the number is 52.6 percent. That amounts to more sexually satisfied co-habiting divorced men than married men. And that is not the case that Waite and Gallagher are trying to make.
To make the married women look good, they take a different tack. They compare the sexual satisfaction of married women to that of the single and divorced women who are not co-habiting. That's convenient, because, as you can see from the table, it is the co-habiting women who usually report the more satisfying sex lives.
The National Sex Survey was full of information about rates of sexual problems. Waite and Gallagher do not have much to say on that topic. Here's some of what they skipped over. With regard to some of the problems men might have, such as an inability to maintain an erection, climaxing too early, or experiencing pain during sex, currently married men have nothing over men who have always been single. When the two groups differ on those measures, it is the married men who are more likely to be having difficulties. Men who have always been single also report fewer sexual problems than divorced men.
Among the women, the group most likely to be problem-free is not the currently married women. Rather, it is the widowed women who are less likely than all of the others (married, divorced, separated, or always single) to complain that they do not find sex pleasurable, that they cannot reach orgasm or they reach it too early, or that they experience anxiety or pain during sex.
Waite and Gallagher wrap up their chapter on the sexual advantages of marriage by describing the results of one last survey. This one, sponsored by the Family Research Council, described all the people who could lay claim to the most satisfying sex. Married people, of course, top the list, but some married people are even better off sexually than others. Among them are: those who attend church weekly, who believe that out-of-wedlock sex is wrong, who have three or more children, who live in one-earner households, and "who see sex as a sacred union, exclusive to marriage." There is an endnote corresponding to the description of these results. It says that the Family Research Council "is an activist not a scholarly organization." Indeed. According to their website, the Council "champions marriage and family as the foundation of civilization, the seedbed of virtue, and the wellspring of society." Also, it "promotes the Judeo-Christian worldview as the basis for a just, free, and stable society."
In all of the research I described in this section, people were surveyed about their sexual behavior at one point in time. As always, that means that any differences between people may have had nothing whatsoever to do with getting married. The sexual behavior of the married people, for example, may have been the same even before they married. So far as I know, there are no published studies of sex in which the same people are studied over time, as their marital status changes or remains the same.

Brewers offense breaks out, helps halt skid
Ron Roenicke decided to switch things up and not have his team take batting practice on the field prior to Wednesday night's game against the Atlanta Braves.
After snapping out of their offensive funk with six early runs to give Kyle Lohse plenty of support in a 6-1 win that ended a four-game losing streak, the Milwaukee Brewers won't be hitting on the field Thursday.
"No BP tomorrow," Roenicke said. "They would like to not do it again."
Superstitions aside, the Brewers got exactly what they needed with four first-inning runs against Braves starter Ervin Santana. Milwaukee had scored just five runs over its past four games but got four runs on one swing from Mark Reynolds on Wednesday.
Hits from Carlos Gomez and Scooter Gennett and a walk drawn by Jonathan Lucroy loaded the bases for Reynolds, who connected on a first-pitch slider for his third-career grand slam.
Lohse took the early run support and made it hold up, allowing just one run on four hits over eight strong innings to earn his sixth win of the season.
"He didn't feel like he had to pitch perfect," Reynolds said. "He commanded the zone and pitched a great game like he always does for us. He threw strikes and kept his defense on their toes."
At one point, Lohse retired 11 hitters in a row and sat down 22 of the 24 he faced after allowing a first-inning run on a RBI double by Justin Upton. Lohse was in complete control of the game from the first inning on, never allowing the Braves to threaten a comeback. Gomez gave the veteran right-hander a 6-1 lead with a two-run home run off Santana in the fourth inning.
"The rhythm is really important with him," Roenicke said. "When things are flowing, you do see him get back on the mound and (he) wants the ball. He can repeat pitches a lot. He repeated a lot of really good pitches today. When he's throwing the ball well, that's what he does. He's making one good pitch after another and using them all. It was good to see everything working."
The Brewers needed Lohse to go deep into Wednesday's game with a few bullpen arms down, but they really needed to bust out a bit offensively to end their losing streak.
All in all, Wednesday's win was exactly what Milwaukee desired.
"After we lost four games in a row and come and face Santana and get the W, that's a really good game," Gomez said. " . . . We swung better, but a lot of credit needs to go to Lohse. He came and threw the ball amazing."
Henderson heads out: Brewers reliever Jim Henderson will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Huntsville on Thursday, as he begins to work his way back from a right shoulder injury.
Henderson threw his second bullpen session earlier in the Atlanta series, the final hurdle the right-hander needed to clear before pitching in a live game.
Roenicke told reporters in Atlanta that Henderson is tentatively scheduled to make three rehab appearances before he's re-evaluated. Henderson was placed on the disabled list on May 2, one day after allowing five earned runs in an outing in Cincinnati.
While Henderson is about to head out on his rehab assignment, left-hander Tom Gorzelanny made his third appearance for Class-A Brevard County on Wednesday. Recovering from offseason left shoulder surgery, Gorzelanny allowed a solo home run and struck out four.
Start in question: After leaving Tuesday's outing with a sprained left ankle, Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo may not be able to make his next start scheduled for Sunday in Miami.
Roenicke told reporters Gallardo is unlikely to be able to pitch against the Marlins unless "he really heals fast." Because Gallardo's injury isn't considered serious enough to warrant a trip to the disabled list, the Brewers may have to cover Sunday's start from within.
Tyler Thornburg threw 3 2/3 innings in relief of Gallardo on Tuesday and is likely the only reliever that could make a spot start. Right-handers Mike Fiers and Jimmy Nelson are throwing the ball well in Triple-A Nashville, but the Brewers would have to make a roster move to bring either of them up.

For the last five years, whenever any actor who was in the Bluth family on Arrested Development has given an interview, they've inevitably been asked about the movie and said a variation on the same thing: "We all want it to happen, and they're working on a script now." That promise got a little more solid a few weeks ago, when creator Mitch Hurwitz and the entire cast announced before a live audience that they were making both a prequel TV show and, finally, a movie. And while the entire Bluth family was there onstage to guarantee they'd be in it, there was one very important person missing: Kitty, George Sr.'s loyal assistant.
OK, so there are a lot of other side characters from the show's run who really need to make a come back, from Bob Loblaw to Gene Parmesan to Lucille 2. But since I talked to Kitty herself, Judy Greer, today about her new movie The Descendants, it seemed worth checking to see if Kitty would make a return. As it turns out, even Greer doesn't quite know:
No one's talked to me about it, but 100 years ago when they first cancelled the show and they were talking about making the movie, Mitch was like, 'Oh my god, of course you're going to be involved.' My answer is yes, but I might be lying about that.
She went on to tell me that she really wants to "put it out there" that she'll be in the movie, so she gave me the very unequivocal but tongue-in-cheek answer: "The movie's happening, and I'm in it." Of course, what that really means is "Mitch Hurwitz, call this woman!" How can you bring back the Bluth family and not "say goodbye to these!" Kitty, whose anarchic presence in George Sr.'s life would clearly be welcome even when catching up with the characters 10 years later. Plus, Greer is more famous now than ever, especially given her role in the soon-to-be-huge The Descendants, so why not add a little extra starpower for good measure?
Now it's on everybody else to ask Charlize Theron, Liza Minnelli, James Lipton Scott Baio, Carl Weathers and anyone else they can think of if they'll be returning, and have them put the heat on Hurwitz. Sure, it might result in a movie that's nothing but guest appearances-- but in a way, I'd be fine with that.

Harry Pott–I mean, Daniel Radcliffe–stars in The Woman in Black, a movie better known for showcasing the world's most famous boy wizard in what's officially his first adult on-screen role since the J.K. Rowling-penned series. A pretty wise wave of the wand by Radcliffe (and his fairy god-agent), casting the actor in a genre not too far off from that with which audiences identify him, but just a shade more seriousness: paranormal horror.
Regardless, a dark cloud hangs over the film like a case of Harry Potter and The Curse of the Child Star, the struggle being to divorce oneself from Radcliffe's prior role, carved into our collective pop culture psyche like Harry's lightning bolt scar. But enough about the ghost of a–aaaah!–multi-billion dollar franchise. There are enough literal spooks to deal with in The Woman in Black.
Radcliffe is Arthur Kipps, a recently widowed lawyer raising a four-year-old son in turn-of-the-20th century London. Depressed, plagued by visions of his wife's death and under financial duress, he's assigned to sort out the affairs of the deceased Alice Drablow's estate, the isolated Eel Marsh House. Following a cold shoulder from the remote town's local population, Kipps arrives at the house to begin working. He comes across dusty trunks of odd letters, mysteriously locked rooms, handwritten messages hidden underneath wallpaper and a woman cloaked in veiled black. A mystery unfolds, haunted occurrences transpire.
Under the direction of James Watkins (Eden Lake) and '50s horror heaven studio Hammer Films, The Woman in Black is treated with an air of prestige–from the period costumes, down-to-Goth-earth set design and clear-cut cinematography trained on providing depth and austerity as it confidently creeps around every corner of the mansion. On the thrills side, though, it's less imaginative and self-assured, reliant on loud and jarring sound effects to scare the audience and reveal…a random bird! A wind up toy! The friendly coach driver! It's a usual case of déjà boo. Using tricks we've seen so many times before, they cheapen the retro world the film asks us to live in. In between those moments, however, is the relevant trait of the film: it's patient pacing, a dying art in the current horror movie genre where it seems a violent death need occur every 20 minutes to feel, well, alive. Like putting flowers on someone's grave, The Woman in Black feels as if it's paying tribute to a film from the past without truthfully wanting to be one. It's proud to be old-fashioned in 2012.
As for Radcliffe, he's looking ahead. In the British theater, he was eager to outgrow his Potter robe (undressing himself entirely, rather, appearing naked in the play Equus), but regarding his film career, he's not as boldly desperate. His turn here feels colder and calculated–an effort to please both sides of the Marketability vs. Pigeonholing defense–a safe move making for a safe movie that asks audiences to feel unsafe. You can't have your Cauldron Cake and eat it too.
Kipps is a pretty undemanding role that doesn't turn you into a Radcliffe believer, but you don't exactly leave the theater doubting his future either. He didn't have me dialing in an Amber Alert to report a child star missing–Radcliffe still looks a little too green to play someone's widow and father convincingly–but give it time. After flying on broomsticks for the past decade, the actor is just now learning how to walk again on his own two feet, out of the shadow that is Harry Potter. The Woman in Black is the first of those baby steps. You have a feeling he'll get there.

BAGHDAD, Sept. 15 -- More than 30 people were killed in bombings in Iraq on Monday, including one in Diyala province in which a female suicide bomber attacked policemen gathered to celebrate the release of a fellow officer from a U.S. detention facility, Iraqi officials said.
At least 20 people were killed and 30 injured in the bombing, according to Lt. Gen. Abdel-Karim al-Rubaie, the commander of military operations in the province.
Abbas Salim Jaafar, 32, an employee with the Iraqi Red Crescent who was wounded in the attack, said the bomber detonated her explosives as food was being served in a garden.
"Despite the fact that a lot of police officers were invited, I notice that there were no security procedures to search the guests," he said.
In Baghdad, twin car bombings near the city's main passport office killed at least 12 people shortly before noon, officials said. The explosions appeared to target an Iraqi army convoy, according to a police official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The blasts wounded nearly 40 people, including at least 22 soldiers, the official said.
The car bombings followed a similar deadly attack that killed an Iraqi policeman and a civilian Sunday evening in central Baghdad outside a popular ice cream shop. Suspected insurgents have used car bombs to attack Iraqi security forces regularly in recent months. Such assaults are hard to thwart in Baghdad's bustling streets and often lead to civilian casualties.
Gen. Mizher Mishaher, the commander of the Iraqi army's 11th division, said his troops were targeted Monday while they were on patrol.
"They try to challenge us with these criminal attacks, but it will only increase our insistence to abolish them," Mishaher said. He said insurgents have stepped up attacks against his troops because they have been successful in running insurgents out of havens in Baghdad.
The U.S. military released a statement providing a lower death toll in the Monday bombings in Baghdad. It said the blasts killed an Iraqi soldier and five civilians and wounded 27 people.
"We currently assess this heinous atrocity as an al-Qaeda in Iraq attack," Lt. Col. Steve Stover, a U.S. military spokesman, said in a statement, referring to the Sunni insurgent group.
The blasts occurred seconds apart, according to a Washington Post employee who was trying to renew his passport at the time. Shortly after the explosions, Iraqi soldiers began shooting in the air to dispel the crowd gathered at the site because they feared a third explosion might occur.
Firetrucks put out the burning vehicles, which were a few yards apart, as rescue personnel and citizens loaded wounded people into ambulances and other vehicles. Black smoke from the cars billowed amid the yellow blanket of dust that has enveloped the capital during the past two days.
Also on Monday, Gen. David H. Petraeus said farewell to top Iraqi security officials at a ceremony in his honor at the Iraqi Defense Ministry, the U.S. military said in a statement. Petraeus, who became the top U.S. military official in Iraq in February 2007, is scheduled to formally hand over command on Tuesday to Gen. Raymond T. Odierno.
In a letter to U.S. soldiers, Petraeus praised their work during a period that saw an escalation in U.S. troops and a steep decline in violence. "Your accomplishments have, in fact, been the stuff of history," the general wrote. "Your great work, sacrifice, courage and skill have helped reverse a downward spiral toward civil war."
Special correspondents Zaid Sabah and Qais Mizher contributed to this report.

Timeline.FillBehavior Property
Gets or sets a value that specifies how the animation behaves after it reaches the end of its active period.
Namespace: System.Windows.Media.Animation
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)
<timeline FillBehavior="HoldEnd"/> -or- <timeline FillBehavior="Stop"/>
Property ValueType: System.Windows.Media.Animation.FillBehavior
A value that specifies how the timeline behaves after it reaches the end of its active period but its parent is inside its active or fill period. The default value is HoldEnd.
Dependency property identifier field: FillBehaviorProperty
Set an animations FillBehavior property to HoldEnd when you want the animation to hold its value after it reaches the end of its active period. An animation that has reached the end of its active period that has a FillBehavior setting of HoldEnd is said to be in its fill period. When you don't want an animation to hold its value after it reaches the end of its active period, set its FillBehavior property to Stop.
A child timeline stops playing and filling when its parent timeline stops; if you want a child timeline to fill, make sure its parent timeline has a FillBehavior of HoldEnd.
The filling behavior can create the illusion that a property is unsettable at runtime if you are not careful about stopping unintended animations. Attempting to change the animated value coming from a filling animation in code will appear to have no effect until the filling animation is stopped.
The following example uses the nondefault FillBehavior value of Stop. As a result, the Opacity value of the rectangle reverts to 1 after the animation ends.

CHICAGO -- General Motors Corp. snapped out of a six-month sales funk in August, posting its first increase since January. But it also announced a 12 percent production cut for the fourth quarter.
All this while Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. again stole the show, as its sales soared 17 percent, to 240,178, its best August and fourth straight month of double-digit increases.
"What is incredible is that they keep bettering themselves," said Rebecca Lindland, a senior analyst with industry forecaster Global Insight. "Every month, they say 'best ever' yet again."
Toyota rode brisk sales of its Scion models, Prius hybrid and redesigned RAV4, but also got strong performances from older models such as Corolla and the Tundra pickup.
"It's really an impressive array of products," she said.
Products, or too many of them, are at the core of GM's decision to build 1.13 million vehicles in North America in the fourth quarter, 150,000 fewer than last year. Ford Motor Co. last month announced it would cut production by 21 percent, or 168,000 vehicles.
Paul Ballew, GM's market and industry analyst, sought to downplay the cuts, saying that switching to a new generation of full-size pickups would account for 50,000 vehicles and reduced sales to daily rental fleets for 40,000.
Most of the remaining 60,000 units will be in reduced production of midsize sport utility vehicles, whose sales are falling at GM and other companies.
"This is not a big deal. We've been planning for this since January," Ballew said in a conference call with analysts and journalists.
Lindland said GM's cuts were expected, while Ford's were not. More than half of Ford's cuts were in full-size pickups, whose sales have fallen as gas prices have climbed.
Ford's cuts are a prelude to an accelerated restructuring plan due this month. Analysts expect Ford will announce additional plant closings and job reductions, and the company is exploring selling some of its European luxury brands.
Global Insight had forecast GM would build 1.17 million vehicles.
"It's not out of line with the hints and guidance we've gotten from them before," Lindland said. "It's more of a tweak and nothing as extreme as the Ford announcement."
Production cuts do, however, reduce revenue because automakers book vehicles as sold when they ship them from their factories. But Lindland said by cutting low-profit sales to daily rental companies and managing inventory, "GM is really showing some impressive financial discipline."
GM's August sales, up 3.9 percent to 363,521, made it the star of U.S.-based manufacturers.
Though Ford posted its seventh straight month of year-to-year decline and 11th in the last year, it still outsold Toyota to reclaim the No. 2 spot in the United States. In July, the Toyota, Scion and Lexus brands topped Ford's eight brands for the first time.
Ford's sales fell 11.6 percent, to 253,718 vehicles, as an increase in cars failed to offset a continuing decline in trucks.
Other major manufacturers had off months compared with August 2005, when employee-discount programs and other year-end closeouts lifted sales at most companies.
DaimlerChrysler and American Honda each fell 3.2 percent and Nissan North America was down 2.7 percent. For Nissan, it was the sixth straight month of decline, a trend the company expects to reverse this fall when it rolls out fresh models.
Industry sales were flat for the month at 1.49 million.
On Friday, Chrysler began offering zero-percent financing for 72 months on most 2006 models through Oct. 2. About 400,000 of the 503,000 vehicles in Chrysler's inventory are 2006 models, which the company says is typical for this time of year.
Chrysler also suspended its "Ask Dr. Z" television and radio commercials featuring DaimlerChrysler Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche to focus advertising on the zero-percent offer.
Ford is offering a similar deal on 2006 models in a sale that ends Tuesday, but unlike Chrysler it is extending it to consumers who don't have perfect credit ratings.

Tejada quietly proving depth of Mets
Second baseman gets day off in midst of current hot stretch
By Tim Britton and Kyle Maistri / MLB.com
A day off for Tejada wouldn't seem to open up any kind of significant void at second base, but that would ignore the rookie's surprising production at the plate of late. Always known for his slick fielding skills, Tejada is in the midst of a nine-game hitting streak during which he's batting .345.
"The evaluation always comes with the bat for him," manager Jerry Manuel said. "For a young hitter, he has a good swing. It's good to see him doing what he's doing at the plate."
Tejada is batting .264 in 17 games this season for the Mets, not far below the .274 average he has posted in three-plus Minor League seasons. The 20-year-old has turned into a sparkplug at the bottom of the Mets' order, with nine runs scored in his last nine games. He illustrated that on Friday, when he led off the fifth with a long double to off the wall in left-center field, moved to third on a bunt by Mike Pelfrey and scored on a shallow fly ball to left from Reyes.
Though Tejada came up to the Majors with a solid reputation as a fielder, Manuel didn't expect him to make the transition from short to second so seamlessly.
"We always felt that he was a good defensive player," manager Jerry Manuel said. "I have been surprised and impressed by his ability to adapt to second base as well as turn the double play with the runner coming in on him."
Tejada's emergence has helped the Mets stay hot without Luis Castillo in the lineup. Tejada, in fact, has a higher average than Castillo this season, and has four fewer runs scored despite playing in 27 fewer games. He has four extra-base hits to Castillo's three.
The Mets are 15-4 in the 19 games Castillo has missed. Tejada's play is representative of an organizational depth that was absent a season ago, when a spate of injuries left the Mets with few options, especially in the middle infield.
"We left Spring Training anticipating that if something were to go wrong like it did last year, that we had enough depth and the system was ready to produce Major League players," Manuel said. "Some things have happened and those guys have come up and played extremely well."
Prince Harry throws first pitch for Mets-Twins
NEW YORK -- Prince Harry tossed out the ceremonial first pitch at Citi Field before the Mets hosted the Twins in Saturday's 6-0 loss.
With a Mets cap on his head, Prince Harry took his time on the mound, even wiping his brow in mock nervousness, before delivering a strike to Rod Barajas. While he threw the pitch in a T-shirt, the prince was given a specially designed Mets jersey, with the No. 22 and "Wales" printed on the back.
Before the pitch, the prince was tutored a bit by Mets starter R.A. Dickey, who played catch with him for about five minutes. Dickey said he had to revise Prince Harry's motion from more of a cricket style to a baseball delivery.
"He was originally doing it like cricket, but I said, 'You better not do it with this ball,'" Dickey said. "He has a natural cutter."
Jeff Francoeur also advised him on how to properly grip a baseball across the seams. The outfielder later beamed when he saw the prince checking his grip right before he threw the pitch.
"You meet a lot of people around this place -- movie stars. But to actually meet a prince like that, that was pretty cool for all of us," Francoeur said. "I actually said something to him about USA getting first place in Group C. He said he'd have the last laugh is what he told me. I'm not welcome there."
Prince Harry was joined for the game by British and American veterans who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Mets get Barajas back in lineup
NEW YORK -- The Mets have dodged any major injury set backs, for now.
Catcher Rod Barajas, who missed the last two games with tightness in his back, is back in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins. Barajas was insistent that he could've played Friday, but manager Jerry Manuel wanted to give him the day off.
Closer Francisco Rodriguez, who also had his back tighten up on him during the ninth inning of the Mets 5-2 on Friday night, is ready to pitch and available for use.
And center fielder Angel Pagan, who has been out of the lineup since Thursday with pain in his side, is available to pinch-run Saturday and expected to return to the starting lineup in Sunday's series finale with the Twins.
"I'm having so much fun and the team is playing so good, I just don't want to miss any more time," Pagan said.
For Manuel, history trumps pitch counts
NEW YORK -- As far as the Mets are concerned, D-backs manager A.J. Hinch made the right decision.
Hinch let Edwin Jackson throw 149 pitches to finish his eight-walk no-hitter on Friday, something that Mets manager Jerry Manuel would've done as well.
"I dont think you interfere with history, if the guy is trying to make history," Manuel said. "You have to give him every opportunity."
Mets starter Mike Pelfrey only lasted six innings and 117 pitches in his own Friday night start, but he said he would've wanted to be left out there in the same situation.
"If that gets you a no-hitter, it's worth every pitch," Pelfrey said.
Manuel pointed to the fact that pitchers used to routinely throw much higher pitch counts as proof that a pitcher can throw 150 pitches without getting injured.
The bigger problem is that is hardly asked of them anymore.
"We have probably taken that too far, the pitch count," Manuel said. "We have trained the mind to think that they can only throw a certain amount of pitches. If you train to finish the game regardless of what it took, then I think the pitch count would be different. We've trained people to be somewhat limited because injury is a possibility."

kk87-0wrote a review of The North Face Glacier Full-Zip Hooded Fleece Jacket - Girls' on August 8, 2012
great basic
I love the fact that this fleece is no frills and comes in different colors. The fit is great and the contrasting logo is nice. I would recommend this as a fall or spring basic.
I also love the fact that the zipper is sturdy and not bunchy.

Wendy Boettcher, 16, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Boettcher of rural Morris, is dead as a result of an accident while riding horseback. Wendy, along with her cousin Laurie Allen, were riding horse on the Morris school athletic field shortly after two o'clock Sunday afternoon. The horses became frightened, raced to the north end of the field and up an embankment onto College Ave. The horse Wendy was riding ran into the path of a car driven by F. L. Amborn Sr. She suffered extensive head injuries and died shortly afterwards in the Stevens County Memorial Hospital.

All taped up, with several cracked ribs and one broken one, Alfred Maylott is able to be up and around and perhaps thankful that he escaped more serious consequences, if it were by a mighty tight squeeze, and the tight squeeze part is not mere matter of speech.
In company with Gerhard Rustad, he was over at the warehouse on the south side of the track to get out a tractor stored there. They started the tractor to see if it was running all right and after a minute or two it stopped, the machine of course being out of gear. On investigating it was found the gasoline pipe valve had been closed and when this was opened the tractor started again in good shape.
Alf then went around in front of the machine to take down the bar to the double doors so as to open them to get the tractor out and Rustad climbed into the seat of the tractor which was running. Just as Alf was turned sideways and about to lift the bar, the tractor slipped into gear and immediately pinned Alf between the bar and the tractor. Luckily the bar and the doors gave enough to prevent Alf being crushed outright.

While at work at the Great Northern coal shed yesterday afternoon, Phillip Greer had his right arm torn completely out with part of the shoulder by having it caught in the fly-wheel of the engine. The details of the accident are unknown, as Greer was alone and when questioned was only able to say that the engine was "bucking." -Morris Tribune
A consultation was held by Drs. Ransom, Caine of Morris, and Christenson of Starbuck last Friday over little Francis Conroy. The little fellow had apparently been in the best of health up to Friday morning and then was taken very seriously ill with what appeared at first as the dread infantile paralysis. Later developments proved this a fact and up to last reports the little fellow was in a very poor condition. It is hoped by all that he will recover full health and strength soon. Mrs. Crouse, of Benson, is attending the case as nurse.

text: Still a couple of weeks away from picking up my A4 (2004 1.8T Quattro S-Line (190)), but ideas are popping in and out of my head about what I want to do with it, once its mechanically sorted. Its got the Symphony headunit currently and my intention will be to upgrade it to an RNS-E as soon as possible. I'm reasonably happy with the process of swapping them over, so this isn't yet another "how do I do this thread"! My question revolves around interfacing an iPhone 4 with either unit - ideally I'd like the iPhone to work as a phone (well, everyone would like the iPhone to work as a phone, just depends where you hold it!), utilising the car speakers for the audio and also as a source for music - what is the easiest way to achieve this??? Is it going to be by using the Audi Bluetooth unit or by buying some aftermarket accessory?? I'm not particularly fussed with being able to access the iPhone address book from the RNS-E, but it would be nice for it to display who is calling me somewhere other than the phone! Also, where is the best place to buy all this kit? I've trawled through ebay and have found various units for various prices but nothing seems to jump out at me. One thing I have noticed is that a lot of the RNS-E units seem to ship from Lithuania - has anyone any experience of buying this kind of kit from there? Finally (I think), does the Nav DVD need to be in the drive all the time? If so, how do you play CDs? Oh and do "backup" copies of the Nav DVDs work, or do they have to be originals? Sorry for all the questions - just like to get things straight in my head!

Only way is based on improper influence or diminished capacity on the testators parts. Hard to prove, requires significant factual basis to support it. You should contact a local attorney and review the facts. The mere distribution to the organization is not enough.
Possibly. Undue influence and lack of or diminished capacity are two ways, but it's also possible that the will was not executed in conformity with Florida law, depending on the facts, particularly if the will was not drafted by and the signing overseen by an attorney.
You really do need to talk to lawyer about the details.
My colleagues are correct. I suggest you speak with an attorney now as to what is going on with your parents. Without knowing the age and if they are being influenced by this organization is hard to say. If I can be of assistance please contact my office for an appointment 904-997-1031. They may need a plenary guardianship in order to keep them from contracting with others.
Will contests are expensive, difficult and fact and witness specific. Can you prove undue influence or diminished capacity? I have been successful in the past.

wikiHow to Grill Chicken Breasts
Three Methods:The BasicsGrill Barbecue ChickenGrill Lemon Herb ChickenCommunity Q&A
Grilled chicken breasts are a versatile dish that can be used in a variety of dishes. Learn how to successfully grill chicken breasts for an assortment of satisfying meals. First learn the basics, whether you're grilling bone-in or boneless breasts. Then master a few classic recipes and experiment with your own versions, using your grilled chicken breasts for a stand-alone meal, or in sandwiches, fajitas, salads and more.
The Basics
to Grill Chicken Breasts1Prepare the grill to help the chicken cook better. Use a grill scraper to remove any residue from the grill. Lightly spray the cooking surface with non-stick spray so the chicken will not stick to it.
to Grill Chicken Breasts2Light the grill, according to your model's instructions, and let preheat on a medium-hot setting for about 5 minutes before placing the chicken onto the grill. Do not overcrowd the chicken breasts on the grill or they may stick together and be difficult to flip over. Let them sit for about 3 minutes without turning.
to Grill Chicken Breasts3Check the bottom side of the chicken breasts after about 3 minutes and flip them when they begin to look opaque. Cook for about 2 or 3 more minutes if they're still pink.
- Turn down the heat if it looks like the outside of the chicken is getting blackened, since this could mean the chicken is burnt on the outside but still raw inside.
to Grill Chicken Breasts4Grill the other side for approximately 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts. Grill thin cut portions for a shorter amount of time, and grill thicker ones longer.
- Check after about 5 minutes to see if the chicken appears to be a solid color with no visible pinkness.
- Use a meat and poultry thermometer to make sure that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 185 degrees. Make sure any juices that run out of the chicken breast when you insert the thermometer run clear.
Grill Barbecue Chicken
to Grill Chicken Breasts1Coat chicken with honey to help the barbecue sauce stick to the chicken.
to Grill Chicken Breasts2Use a cooking brush to coat the chicken with your favorite sauce before placing it on the grill.
to Grill Chicken Breasts3Keep a bowl of sauce out while grilling and brush sauce thickly onto the chicken every few minutes.
- Avoid contaminating your food. Use a clean brush to coat the chicken once it's cooked.
Grill Lemon Herb Chicken
to Grill Chicken Breasts1Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon and sprinkle a few pinches of herbs over each chicken breast. Marinate the chicken in the lemon herb mixture for at least 1 hour or overnight.
to Grill Chicken Breasts2Remove from the marinade when you are ready to grill and discard the leftover marinade.
to Grill Chicken Breasts3Cut 1 or 2 more lemons in half and use them to squeeze lemon juice onto the chicken as you grill it.
to Grill Chicken Breasts4Finished.
Community Q&A
- Grill boneless chicken breasts to make sandwiches. Or slice cooked breasts lengthwise and serve with dipping sauce. You can also cut boneless chicken into chunks and use in pastas, salads and stir fry dishes.
- When grilling bone-in chicken breasts, leave the skin on for a moister result. Try cutting a slit in the side of the breast and place butter and seasoning under the skin before placing on the grill.
- To grill low-fat chicken, marinate with a red wine vinaigrette and lemon juice or low-fat Italian dressing for at least 1 hour or overnight. Remove the seasoned chicken breasts and throw out the remaining marinade. Or brush on olive oil, salt and pepper before placing chicken on the grill if you do not have time to marinate.
- Do not overcook or the chicken will be tough. Do not undercook the chicken or it will be unsafe to eat.
Things You'll Need
- Grill (pan or outdoor)
- Grill scraper
- Non-stick cooking spray
- Meat thermometer
- Sauces and marinades, as desired
- Seasonings to taste

Cellulite Removal
When you hear terms like "cellulite removal", you would like to picture your entire problem areas disappear. Cellulite Removal is a very hard task to accomplish. Even with the most advanced cosmetic techniques and procedures total cellulite removal cannot be guaranteed.
In reality cellulite removal doesn't really exist but we play with that terminology in a hopeful sense. Cellulite hiding is a more accurate description of what goes on when using cellulite treatments, procedures, and topical products. There is no permanent cure for cellulite, but there are some powerful temporary solutions that you can definitely use to make a huge difference in how your cellulite looks. Cellulite removal is mostly thought of by many as liposuction, injections, and other invasive treatments. Liposuction is the most widely used cellulite removal procedure by most cosmetic surgeons. This procedure has been shown to be very effective and more so over others when cellulite removal is performed.
If an invasive approach is not something you want to consider or the appearance of your cellulite does not warrant such an extreme procedure then a cellulite product may be in your best option. Most people find that cellulite products that you can use at home do just as much to reduce the appearance of cellulite and they don't cost nearly as much to your wallet or your humility. Over the years, topical cellulite products have found new advancements in ingredients that really can benefit the look of cellulite. In fact, many people find it works remarkably well in changing the appearance of their skin for the better.
With daily applications of a cellulite cream like Fat Girl Slim [ see this fatgirlslim cellulite product review ] along with proper diet, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight can all help play a role in the appearance of cellulite. Not one of these factors alone can address cellulite on their own. Some factors such as heredity may not be in our control but the more pro-active an individual is at reducing the chance of cellulite appearing in the first place, the better the outcome may be in prolonging its initial appearance.
Cellulite affects everyone differently both mentally and physically. This is why there are many cellulite removal options available for those who are more worried about the appearance and elect to try and remove the affected areas. Then there are those individuals who may decide they can slowly address the appearance with a topical cellulite cream that is clinically tested and provided at a low cost.
Stretch Mark Cream Product Reviews
No one ever becomes fond of stretch marks, especially when they are on your own body. This scarring of the skin happens when extreme stretching of the skin goes beyond what the skin can normally take and it tears. Collagen and elastin are the two foundational proteins that help keep our skin resilient and smooth, but if you are lacking in these two proteins and your skin has to endure some rapid stretching, you are likely to get stretch marks.
The stomach, breasts, thighs, and hips are the most common places for stretch marks to show up and they have a deep reddish or purple hue to them and they literally look like the tissue tears that they are. As stretch marks age, they can fade in color but into a more silvery one that is still noticeable. Stretch marks may fade but they will not go away on their own and even with the help of the best procedures or stretch mark creams, you cannot completely eliminate them. You can however, drastically improve their appearance with certain methods or stretch mark creams, but you need to get educated on which options are going to be the suitable choice for your skin care needs.
Many people have had phenomenal luck with stretch mark creams, but as you can see when you research them, they can run pretty high in price. Stretch mark cream product reviews can help you out, as there are certain online web sites that are dedicated simply to reviewing and comparing the best stretch mark management cream products on the current market. When people look for these products online, they often search for stretch mark removal cream. However, it should be noted that no cosmetic or topical cream can remove stretch marks, they can only help to lessen their appearance.
Stretch mark cream product reviews cover pricing, evaluate performance, and highlight ingredients. Really good stretch mark product reviews will tell you whether or not the stretch mark creams in question are clinically tested and proven to work with scientifically supported information.
Stretch mark creams can diminish the look of stretch marks in just weeks of dedicated usage, but you must follow the directions with care and precision to get optimal results. Be sure to check out stretch mark cream product reviews to get a good sampling of what to expect before you make a purchase, it's well worth your time and effort.
Scars from Pregnancy
Everyone knows the type: that new mommy that only put on 20 lbs during her pregnancy. Then three weeks after delivery her body is not only back to "awesome", it might actually even be better than before she was pregnant! She has tons of energy, always has a good hair day, and her life just seems perfect. If you have a friend or relative like this, but it does not describe you at all, don't worry. You are the norm, she is the exception. The majority of new moms cope with the challenges of losing the baby weight, juggling a new family dynamic, getting little to no sleep, wrestling with the diaper genie, etc. And when did those scars appear?
If you you recently gave birth, your body has been through a lot of stress. Fussing over petty pregnancy scars shouldn't bother you, but it does. Why be so finicky? You don't have the time, resources, or energy to deal with a cosmetic matter. Or do you?
Some say the muscle underneath your stomach skin plays a key role in the extent of your scars during pregnancy.
The healthier you are, the more elasticity of the skin; which allows for an easier time when working your body back to pre-baby condition. Every one of us wants results faster. Perhaps because our society (and Mrs. Perfect mentioned above) foster this unrealistic notion of immediate gratification. Take the time to see what options are out there for reducing pregnancy scars. Feel confident in knowing that most celebrity Mom's do not represent the everyday hard-working Mom in a normal lifestyle. Not that we aren't thrilled for their success and their plush way of life. But if you do not have a nanny, a chef, and a personal trainer just do what works for you. The truth is your skin can tighten again, but the scars may never go away. That is why some people choose scar treatment and removal options to reduce the appearance of pregnancy scars. Go to http://scar-creams-info.com/scar-removal/ to learn more.
Try these useful tips: Moisturize, hydrate, exfoliate and massage your skin daily. Pregnancy scars can also appear on the breasts, hips, and thighs so be sure to work those areas too. Walk regularly. As you lose the baby weight the scarring will become less noticeable. In addition, you can arm yourself to combat pregnancy scars before it is too late with a topical scar cream. They can add that extra enhancement to improve the appearance of your skin. It is a cost effective solution reducing the appearance of pregnancy scars. Your skin in the abdomen area has been severely stretched for months, have patience and you can get there!

Synacor names new CEO
Synacor Inc. has hired Comcast Corp. executive Himesh Bhise as its new chief executive officer, ignoring the demands of dissident shareholders that it focus on selling the company.
Bhise joins Synacor after leading Comcast's new services and platforms group, where he was responsible for developing new content platforms for the Philadelphia-based cable television giant. He also has worked for cable TV company Charter Communications, as well as AOL and consulting firm McKinsey & Co.
"I'm excited to be here. I'm excited about the opportunity," Bhise said, citing the company's products, customer relationships, staff talent and cash reserves. "I'm here to figure out how to grow the company, how to find the next tranche of revenues, how to deliver the next set of products and get the next set of customers."
Bhise replaces Ronald Frankel, Synacor's CEO since 2001, who announced in March that he planned to resign as soon as the company found a successor.
"We had specific criteria for our new CEO, and we were intensely strategic and deliberate about finding the right person – Himesh is that person," said Jordan Levy, Synacor's chairman, in a statement.
The dissident shareholders – investment firms JEC Capital Partners and Ratio Capital Management – own a combined stake of 9.8 percent in Synacor and have been pressuring the company since June to halt its CEO search, replace Levy as chairman and put the business up for sale.
Behind the fight over Synacor's future is the company's current financial struggles.
Synacor lost $1.4 million last year as its revenues slid by 8 percent after a change by Microsoft in its Windows 8 operating system relegated the start pages that Synacor operates for its customers to a secondary screen that requires additional clicks for users to access. That led to an 8 percent drop in Synacor's sales, which totaled $112 million last year, with expectations that sales will decline by an additional 11 percent this year, to $100 million.
"I'm confident the company has the assets, customer relationships and, most importantly, the people to overcome today's challenges," Bhise said in the statement, noting that Synacor is at a "pivotal moment" in its history.
Synacor's management has argued that it thinks its stable of new products, from authentication and single log-in services to new applications for tablets and mobile devices, eventually will catch on and bring in new business that would make the company profitable again.
Synacor's disgruntled shareholders, on the other hand, contend that selling the company is the best way to provide the company's investors with a return on their investment. They argue that the company's new products and services, which have taken longer than expected to develop, are unlikely to have enough of an impact to turn around the business.
Bhise said he is "hoping certainly" to meet with them. "I am open to meeting any significant shareholder of Synacor, because I assume that they have the same motivations I do, which is growing the value of the company," he said. "Those two firms, and a whole bunch of others, are really important shareholders of the company, and it is absolutely our responsibility to make sure we maximize revenues for all."
Synacor announced Bhise's hiring after the stock market closed Monday. The company's shares, which have lost more than half their value since selling stock in an initial public offering in February 2012, fell by 3 cents to $2.38 on Monday.

These mini-comics are the first M.A.S.K comics to appear and they were produced by Kenner and packaged with vehicles from the 1st line of M.A.S.K. toys in 1985. I used to have all three of the mini-comics (including most of the M.A.S.K. toys) so it's really nice to be able to read them again after all these years.

Alexx Calise
July 19, 2007
Equal parts chanteuse and hard rock vixen, Alexx Calise is a supremely talented vocalist. Influenced by rock 'n' roll stalwarts Robert Plant and Chris Cornell, Calise's style is in-your-face, yet melodic and nuanced.
To get the sound she hears in her head, uncolored and as natural as her unamplified voice, Calise relies on the Electro-Voice Cardinal condenser live vocal microphone. Besides using the Cardinal on her active tour schedule, Calise has also found it her mic of choice in the studio.
"To get the sound she hears in her head, uncolored and as natural as her unamplified voice, Calise relies on the Electro-Voice Cardinal condenser live vocal microphone."
"Throw your words at me, I'll have my way with them," mocks young singer, guitarist and songwriter, Alexx Calise. Calise is a lyrical muse, often combining existentialism and paradoxical themes with screaming guitars and raw, vibrato-laden vocals that are just as intense and penetrable as they are warm and cherubic. Her sound is unmistakably rock 'n' roll, though it often lends itself to many other genres.
Calise grew up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida writing short stories and plays, dreaming of becoming a famous writer.
Though her childhood was spent mostly alone or writing in the pages of a notebook, she always found solace in her parents' vast record collection, which included everything from Mozart to Led Zeppelin.
"I have my mom and dad to thank for my wide musical spectrum. I was exposed to lots of very different genres that most kids my age didn't even know existed."
And when most of the girls her age were asking for Barbie Dolls, Calise was requesting grunge CDs and developing an insatiable love for distorted guitars and wailing vocals.
"I used to idolize Soundgarden and Stone Temple Pilots. It was such meaningful music. That's what got me into playing guitar. Well, that and my dad. He used to play for my brother and me when we were little, and we'd sit there in awe as he'd play the James Bond theme," she laughs. "It was so amazing to us that he could do such a thing."
At 11, she picked up the guitar herself and began a focused, self study course unlike anything she had previously set her young mind to. Within weeks it was obvious to everyone around her that she was a natural, moving her small, bruised fingers effortlessly over the fret boards like a seasoned pro. Before long, she was infusing her own poetry and recitations into melodies that she heard in her head. From there, she entered every talent show and performed every chance she could, eventually gaining enough notoriety to appear on the cover of her hometown's newspaper, The Sun-Sentinel, where she now works as their youngest entertainment columnist.
In 2003 Alexx began writing Morning Pill, her debut album which recounts past experiences; some of them dark and sorrowful, some of them uplifting and inspiring, but all are meaningful and true.
Now, Alexx Calise is ready to share with the world her fresh, thought-evoking material.
"My music is a sincere reflection of my persona," she says. "It's passionate, its biting, and it has an edge. It's an open book, and this is only the first chapter."

Your Questions: How should I invest baby's cash gift?
Your Questions
My newborn daughter has received a cash gift of €10,000 from her grandparents. Rather than leave it in a bank account until she reaches adulthood, I thought it would be a better idea to put the money into an investment of some sort.
What investments would be worth putting the €10,000 into? I don't want to take much of a risk.
Caroline, Gweedore, Co Donegal
Jim Hegarty replies: As you are considering a long-term investment of at least 10 years, inflation is your main hurdle. Interest rates in Europe are going to be held as low as possible for the foreseeable future and even if or when they are increased, it is highly unlikely they will return to the levels we have seen in the last number of years. There is no guarantee the banks will reflect increases in base rates to their products as they too struggle for returns for their shareholders.
With confidence returning to the markets, many are now considering alternatives to deposits. Irish fund managers are therefore designing new products with many offering capital guarantees or proportionate capital guarantees. This is an area that will become very competitive over the coming months so these products could be worth considering.
Be sure, however, that you understand and are comfortable with the risk you are taking on when you invest in such a product.
I paid into a pension in my early 20s for about eight years. I have since changed jobs and moved house but I never carried my old pension over to my current one. I understand the employer I worked with in my early 20s has since gone bust and I have not held onto any documentation which would enable me to trace my pension. Is the pension I paid into for eight years now lost?
Craig, Rush, Co Dublin
Jim Hegarty replies: The simple answer to your question is that pension funds are never lost. Maybe mislaid or forgotten about, but not lost. All pension funds are held in trust for their members and therefore safeguarded.
You mentioned that your former employer may have gone bust. However, in our experience, many employers who have provided pension schemes for their staff have either been amalgamated or bought over. Therefore making contact with any former work colleagues may point you in the right direction.
You have two options. You could engage an independent adviser and ask them to do the tracing for you. Alternatively, if you wish to do the tracing yourself, you could contact each of the life offices to see if your pension is with them.
You should, however, provide enough information to the life office so it can do a search. This should include your name, date of birth, current and former addresses, name and address of employer, and any other information which you feel would help to trace your pension.
You also mentioned that you made contributions. Your tax records therefore should show which fund manager the contributions were paid to as you would have availed of the tax relief on pension contributions.
Remember, even though you may only have paid eight years' contributions, the funds were invested on your behalf and therefore would have accumulated for your benefit over the years.
Best of luck with your search!

The City of Hartford has taken new steps to crack down noisy ATV's and dirt bikes that means big fines and possibly jail time.
Dozens of riders have been tearing through Hartford streets on their ATV's and dirt bikes and they're posting videos of their illegal moves on the internet.
"It could cause an accident at any time I've actually had them cut me off," explained Pasquale Castagna.
Neighbors say the noise was unbearable and they needed it to stop.
The problem is by law police can't chase them.
They can only ticket riders if they are stopped at a light or already pulled over.
"They're terrible. They keep you awake at night," Castagna added.
On Monday night, the Hartford City Council passed a new ordinance to try and make riders think twice about hitting the streets.
It hiked up the current $99 fine. That means if you're caught riding ATV's and dirt bikes in Hartford, you will have to pay anywhere between $1,000-$2,000 and face 25 days in jail.
The city will confiscate the rides too.
"We're serious about this and we're definitely looking at other innovative ways to stop them from riding," said City Councilor Joel Cruz.
If Hartford businesses that sell those ATV's and dirt bikes don't post the new ordinance on their door and explain it to customers, they will be fined too.
"Knowing they know they can ride these things without being chased we need all the support we can get," Cruz explained.
Some said the penalties weren't enough and would not keep the riders off the streets.
"They'll be back right there the next day or two days later," Pasquale Castagna said.
City Councilors admitted the penalties were all they could impose because of the no chase policy.
"There will always be someone who says I don't care, but there might be someone who thinks of the fine and doesn't do it," Joel Cruz said.
The new law goes into effect in 30 days.

MEDICINE HAT -- If Matt Keetley isn't careful, he's going to wear out his welcome before he even gets to Calgary.
The Medicine Hat all-star goaltender, a fifth-round pick of the Flames in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft, hopes to play in the Stampede City at some point.
Now, though, he's doing his best to knock the Calgary Hitmen out of the playoffs.
Keetley made 24 stops last night to record his fourth goose egg of the post-season, backstopping the Tigers to a 2-0 win over the Calgary Hitmen in Medicine Hat.
The victory gives the Hat a 1-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Final. Game 2 goes tonight in the Gas City (7:30 p.m., Shaw TV, The Fan 960).
Darren Helm and Brennan Bosch scored second-period goals and Keetley, who also blanked the Hitmen the last time the two clubs met Feb. 25 at the 'Dome, made them stand up.
He has a shutout streak of 173:24 against Calgary, dating back to Jan. 9 but credited his 'mates for last night's doghnut.
"I didn't know that, to tell you the truth," Keetley said. "I had 24 shots but (d-man) Trevor Glass, I think he blocked about 100 shots.
"There's guys selling out. Derek Dorsett took that one off the shins and our guys were just blocking machines tonight."
He made his best stop midway through the third period, slamming the door on Robin Figren, who tried to convert Ian Duval's 2-on-1 pass at the top of the crease.
Keetley said he doesn't think he's starting to play on the minds of the Hitmen's flustered forwards.
"They're a good hockey club and you saw what they did with Brandon when they were down two games to nothing and came back," the 20-year-old said. "I don't think they'll crack real easy."
Dan Spence was also strong in the Hitmen net, kicking out 29 of the 31 shots he faced.
Brodie Dupont had his eight-game point streak snapped while teammate Derek LeBlanc failed to find the scoresheet for the first time in seven games.
Dupont, the club's top scorer in the playoffs, said there's no secret to beating Keetley.
"We just have to get traffic in front of him," Dupont said. "We need to do the same things we did to (Kootenay 'tender Taylor) Dakers -- if he can't see it, he's not going to stop it."
