ALEX FERGUSON is on the verge of leading Manchester United to the most emphatic title triumph EVER.
But the Old Trafford boss refuses to accept No 20 is in the bag.
United now lead by 15 points but Fergie said: "You don't get medals for being complacent and we won't be."
Wayne Rooney's first-half goal was enough to give United a 1-0 win over Reading.
That opened up a 15-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the table with only nine games left.
The record winning margin in English football is 18 points — set by United over Arsenal in 1999-2000.
That mark is now under threat but Fergie admitted: "It wasn't a great performance but where we are today is not down to today.
"That's down to the previous six months. The team has shown great consistency."
Match winner Rooney echoed his manager and refused to get carried away as the Old Trafford outfit close on a record 20th top-flight title.
He said: "We're in a fantastic position with nine games to go and 15 points clear but we have to go out and do our job every week."
Reading caretaker-boss Eamonn Dolan was angry ref Lee Mason did not give a penalty for a Nemanja Vidic push on Adrian Mariappa.
He said: "It was a clear pen but I think the referee thought I was on work experience and perhaps we were all on work experience.
"Perfect, a little 1-0 loss for Reading will be OK, a bit of glorious disappointment. I wouldn't expect that from the ref, I'd expect him to do it fairly."

97 zj water pump replacement
Need Halp! my brother brother bought a 97 ZJ 5.2L about 2 weeks ago and his water pump just went.. i have a '96 XJ and know nothing about ZJ's really.. anyone have any tips or how-to's for replacing the pump? thanks much :cheers:
If you cant get a field service manual quickly, I suggest using a Hayes manual for a water pump. It's pretty easy so Hayes is Ok for that job. Just make sure to get the gasket surfaces clean and dont gouge them with anything. Tighten the bolts in the order that the manual suggests to the proper torque. You'll be fine. Just take your time and buy the correct water pump. Might as well change the hoses and thermostat while you're at it.
Changing the little bypass hose should be considered a must when doing the water pump on a 5.2. It's not fun doing it later.
:facepalm: no time to wait for a service manual... it is what it is tho wel make do with what we have. thanks much!
Did this 2 months ago. Disconnect battery. Did not use manuals. Yes, make sure you clean surface good. I used paint stripper then scraped n sanded lightly with 80 grit then cleaned with brake cleaner spray. You have to remove alt A/C pump bracket to do it right. Yes, replace thermostat n bypass hose n any hoses that are suspect. I got my water pump from NAPA. The steel line that came with it was for Dodge. Luckily mine was in good shape so reused it. Make sure you get w/p bolts in right spots. Best way is to lay them out how you remove them or better yet put them back in old pump, same with Alt brakt. If your belt tensioner is old now's good time to replace that too. Let me know if you have questions.

NASHVILLE, TENN. – Nashville recording artist Pete Martinez has been invited to perform at the 70th Anniversary of the World War II Normandy Invasion on June 6, 2014, in Normandy, France. Martinez has been invited to perform his new song "We Thank You" at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in front of several dignitaries, including President Barack Obama, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince William, Prime Minister David Cameron from the United Kingdom and Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany.
Martinez, a native of Casper, Wyo., wrote "We Thank You" for The Greatest Generation Foundation (TGGF) and will donate a portion of the proceeds of the song to the nonprofit organization. Veterans from TGGF are expected to be in attendance in France.
"I'm truly honored to be invited to perform in Normandy in June," Martinez said. "This performance will be a great way for me to show my utmost respect for those who fought for the freedom we enjoy in the United States."
The D-Day 70 Memorial Wind Band is also scheduled to perform at the event under the leadership of Colonel Arnald D. Gabriel, conductor emeritus of the United States Air Force Band and member of the United States Army's 29th infantry division that battled in Normandy 70 years ago.
Martinez, who performed at President George W. Bush's inauguration in 2005, has appeared musically in the United States, South America and Europe.

Pre-show preamble...
It's Friday, which means it's time to boot a couple of celebrities out of the Big Brother House. When I say celebrities, I mean this in the very loosest sense of the word, but let's not go there again.
Tonight Heidi Fleiss, Lady Sovereign and Katia Ivanova are up for eviction. Two of them must leave, and no longer be subjected to liquidised food, creepy clown heads and Stephen Baldwin's bible readings. I'd be breaking down the door, personally, but career revivals are at stake here. Also they only get paid if they stick it out to the end, so maybe it's worth a few weeks of lentils and Jesus.
Join me right here from 9pm to see what Davina has hoiked out of the dressing-up box this week, along with all of the action from the previous 24 hours in the house, two evictions and some vaguely disappointing interviews. It's going to be a busy night, but you can help make it far more fun by adding your thoughts, comments and musings in the comment box below.
I reckon Katia and Heidi are going home tonight, unless of course Heidi refuses to get out of bed. What do you think? See you at nine!
8.54pm: It's nearly time! And who will go tonight? I think the nation needs to know. Heidi nominated Sov on the basis that she had bad teeth, which is a bit rich from someone who looks like she's been preserved by Gunther von Hagens. Still, Sov's behaviour over Cornedbeef-gate didn't do her any favours either, so I won't be sorry to see her go. Am really not fussed, to be honest. Sov is a brat, Heidi lies in bed all day doing nothing, and Katia has a voice like she's talking down the hose of a vacuum cleaner.
Is it on yet?
8.59pm: It's starting!! And what, pray, is Davina wearing this evening? The gorilla suit? The rubber leggings? Or something more tasteful? Oh. It's a black coat and trousers. How dull. At least she put the fetish gloves on. She is looking a bit windblown, poor love.
It's this week's recap time - Ivana moved in, Sov started shoplifting groceries and made a big drama over a tin of corned beef, then BB put all the housemates in a care home. The task was a BB classic, albeit a slightly uncomfortable eye-opener on what can happen when a bunch of vulnerable people are looked after by Ivana Trump in a tabard.
Alex Reid also found Jesus, so expect to see 'Alex and Katie Do the Alpha Course' on UK Living sometime soon. Someone is drafting this show as we speak, I guarantee it.
9.05pm: Yesterday's action, and what IS going on with Stephanie's hair? Less than two weeks in the house, and she's got horrendous split ends. There's a disturbing amount of leisure wear going on between her and Ivana.
Heidi is in bed (what a shocker), and Alex (who's going to need more than a prayer of salvation once Katie gets hold of him) appears to be getting more mahogany by the day. I'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt and attribute it to overdosing on pureed carrots.
Earlier this week he was discussing how he lost six fights in a row, but won his last three. I'm assuming this includes duffing up a snowman.
9.11pm: Stephen Baldwin is wittering on about power struggles in the diary room, and calling Vinnie "Mr Jones". Stephen makes my teeth grind. Not only is he smug and boring, but he talks utter garbage. "I have one enemy here", he tells anyone who will listen, as well as all those who couldn't give a flying shit, which is actually everyone. Stephen's mortal enemy is Nicola, for crying out loud, who couldn't be more harmless. AND she was right about Stephen breaking the rules, so he can jog on.
9.12pm: What's ma-cheese-mo? Has Sov been stealing again?
9.18pm: Davina's gags are getting a bit tiresome. Judging by the boos from the crowd, Katia and Sov will be going tonight.
Back in the house, and they're arguing about chicken slices, and there is WAAAY too much testosterone in that kitchen. Katia has some kind of roadkill on her head. They are still arguing about chicken, and now ham. I have stopped listening.
Oh God, Vinnie, let the corned beef GO, will you? It's just a tin of corned beef, which isn't actually even beef.
9.24pm: Vinnie is interrogating Nicola as to whether she is a WAG or not. I'm not sure what point he is trying to prove, but he's clearly needling her just for the hell of it. I'm rapidly going off him.
Stephen is bullying Alex with one of his "if you had to choose between killing your own son or letting a terrorist kill him, what would you choose?" fucked up moral dilemmas. It's like shag, marry, kill, but with more religion. Alex clearly would prefer not to be in a situation where this choice would be required, but finally says he would kill his son himself. This is the right answer, it would seem. It is what God did, because it was an example of his love. Or something.
Alex is now crying. "Sorry, hope I haven't bummed you out", says Stephen, who is frankly a deeply sick individual.
Can we talk about corned beef again? My head hurts.
9.32pm: Big boos for Heidi, bigger boos for Katia, mega-boos for Sov. God, that audience must be bored.
In the snug, Vinnie, Stephanie and Nicola are talking about Alex. They all agree that he is very sweet, but a bit stupid, and discuss the possibility that Katie may have dumped him while he is in the BB house. I have no idea if this is the case, but I suspect she's hedging her bets for the time being, until the Alpha Course deal is signed.
9.37pm: In the diary room, Alex is discussing his new-found interest in religion. He comes over as a little lost soul, bless him. I hope someone looks after him over the coming months. But not Stephen. Definitely NOT Stephen.
9.40pm: Flirty Katia is dipping her fingers in Basshunter's dirty sink. I wish that was a euphemism, but it's not. In return, he whips her backside with a tea towel. Oh, just get it on, will you?
9.46pm: In the bedroom, Jonas is now massaging Stephanie's feet. I want to BE Stephanie's feet. "Smack my feet!" she begs, and suddenly it's all a bit Mrs Robinson. Either one will do.
9.50pm: In the lounge, mentalist windbag Stephen is talking about religion, just for a change. He has heard the voice of God, apparently. He starts to tell a story about hearing voices in his sleep which involves some demonstrative shouting, and Vinnie says "get to the point, I'm growing a beard here". And suddenly I love him again.
Oh god Stephen is so BORING. Can someone shut him up, please? Maybe the Gag of Christ?
The rest of the housemates have headed for the diary room to beg for booze. And who, indeed, can blame them.
9.59pm: And that's it for this part of the show - we're back in half an hour for the evictions. I'm off to find food, and will NOT be watching Popstar to Operastar. Alan Titchmarsh makes me angry.
Back at 10.30!
10.34pm: We're back! And now, finally, two housemates have to go. They, of course, don't know that more than one of them is going.
First out is KATIA, so we will not have the pleasure of seeing her getting busy with Basshunter. The crowd boo, a lot. She doesn't look very happy.
We see the highlights of her time in the house. There aren't any, really. I'm going to stick my neck out and predict that this interview is going to be a sea of beige.
10.43pm: "I dunno" says Katia, to every question Davina asks, apart from the ones she answers with "yeah".
"You said that you wanted us to see you not just as someone's ex, do you think you've achieved that?", asks Davina. "Maybe", replies Katia, hopefully. "Probably not", says Davina, crushing her last few shreds of self respect. Bit unnecessary, if you ask me.
Don't worry, Katia - there's always Nuts and Zoo.
10.50pm: Back in the house, and it's time to kick out someone else. And it's HEIDI, who has spent most of her time in the house in bed, but has at least helped raise awareness of how to spell my name properly.
She appears to be leaving the house in her pyjamas, which is rather fitting.
10.55pm: We get to relive the moments when Heidi was awake, and are reminded that she was actually hilarious, albeit a total bitch.
Heidi thinks all the men in the house were annoying, apart from Vinnie, who is everything a woman wants. Is he? Is he REALLY? I mean, if I had to choose between him and being shot by a gun-wielding terrorist, I'd take Vinnie, but only if Stephen was OK with that. Sometimes it's hard to make these choices.
11.04pm: And that's it for tonight - there's another eviction on Monday, but we'll be back liveblogging next Friday - same time, same place. Thanks for joining in with your hilarious comments as ever, and have a good weekend! Hx

PROSPECT HEIGHTS, Ill., June 26 (UPI) -- An official at a suburban Chicago airport said the roadway crash-landing of a small aircraft could have been much worse.
The pilot landed the plane half a mile away from Chicago Executive Airport in Wheeling Tuesday just after reporting a problem to the tower, The (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald reported Wednesday.
The Beechcraft Super King Air 200 was approaching the airport from the north about 8:30 p.m. when it experienced trouble and landed instead on Wolf Road.
"To develop a problem and then put it down on the road instead -- it could have been a lot worse. It could have been in some buildings, but he was able to put it down on the street to avoid injuries to himself and people on the ground. He did a spectacular job of avoiding homes and cars," said Airport Manager Dennis Rouleau of the pilot, who was the only person aboard.
When plane touched down on a local road, the prop hit the ground and then the right wing struck a tree in the road's parkway, spinning it around, Rouleau said.
Prospect Heights Mayor Nick Helmer said the plane came to a rest between two condominium complexes.
The pilot sustained minor injuries and was taken to a hospital, The Daily Herald said.

I'm sure at some time we've all thought, "I really want to know what it was like to be at a federal prison deemed so brutal it was shut down, but I want to do it without leaving the cozy confines of a hotel lobby."
A few years ago, I took the Alcatraz tour with my wife and father-in-law. As a history buff, I found it to be a fascinating experience, but being a creature of comfort what I really remembered was the cold, windy boat ride out to the island, the blustery walk around the grounds and moving along with crowds through the cellblocks and the gift shop, where I could pick up a nice Alcatraz apron or a maybe a keychain.
So you've got to imagine I was thrilled with the National Park Service and Alcatraz Cruises for coming up with "Alcatraz: Life on the Rock," a traveling exhibit that's been on display the past few months in the lobby at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara hotel and should be there until July.
It contains a plethora of prison paraphernalia including photographs of the Rock, models of everything from the prison itself to the sea birds that frequent it to a full-size replica of one the cells, planted just a few feet away from the lobby bar. It does, admittedly, take you a little bit out of the experience to examine the rigid cot and sickly, two-tone green paint scheme on the cell walls while sipping a Manhattan.
But elsewhere in the lobby, I was able to lose myself in a display about the infamous 1962 escape, which includes a replica of the cell wall the inmates tunneled through, digging out a grate next to a rust-stained toilet. I kept looking around to see if another hotel visitor was coming at me with a shiv, just so I could dodge it the way Clint Eastwood did in "Escape from Alcatraz." (A real shank — what is the difference between a shank and a shiv, anyway? — is one of the artifacts that's part of the exhibit, too).
And even better, when I was done, I only had to brave the traffic on 101 instead of a windy ferry ride back to San Francisco.
GOOD LEGAL STANDING: If you needed to find a lawyer or judge Thursday night, you would have been wise to look at the Santa Clara Convention Center, where nearly 800 of them gathered to celebrate the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley's 40th anniversary.
The legal hotshots raised more than $1.7 million, thanks to sponsorships from the likes of Orrick, Wilson Sonsini and DLA Piper and a host of live auction items that included a dinner made personally by Flea Street Cafe's Jesse Cool and served at her kitchen table as well as golf with Nvidia's new general counsel and Law Foundation board president Brian Cabrera.
Those donations will go a long way toward helping the nonprofit Law Foundation continue to provide legal help to the needy on everything from fair housing and mental health advocacy to its well-regarded Legal Advocates for Children & Youth program.
And when it comes to fundraising, the Law Foundation won't be sitting on its legal briefs over the coming year. San Jose's Jim McManis announced that he and his wife, Sara Wigh, were making the lead gift in the "$40k for 40 More" campaign and they were soon joined by Elisa and Howard Clowes and Maureen and David Shannon. Nice to see all of those billable hours doing a lot of good for our community.
SJSU HONORS DAVIDSON: Charles W. Davidson's had many titles in his 80-plus years, including civil engineer, homebuilder and philanthropist. On Friday, San Jose State, the school from which he received an engineering degree in 1957, added "doctor" to that list, presenting him with an honorary doctorate of humane letters at its Honors Convocation on Friday.
Given all that Davidson has done for San Jose State — he founded the fundraising Tower Foundation, made a $15 million gift to the College of Engineering in 2007 and has supported scholarships, an endowed professorship and the library and athletics programs — you might be surprised it took the school this long. But Davidson did much of his giving behind-the-scenes and was well-known to receive recognition reluctantly, even when they put his name on the College of Engineering building.
OLYMPIAN RETURNS: I'd like to think the South Bay was cheering loudest for Polina Edmunds when the figure skater competed in the Sochi Olympics in February and now fans can cheer her again when she appears Thursday at Sharks Ice in San Jose, which was her training rink.
She'll be at the 6:30 p.m. Q&A event to talk about her upcoming appearance with "Stars on Ice" at SAP Center on May 11 as well as her experience at the Winter Olympics. The first 150 fans who get there can take part in an autograph session plus a public skate with her afterward.
KEEP THOSE LETTERS COMING: Debra Figone, recently retired as San Jose's city manager, was one of the five honorees Thursday night at the Character Awards presented in downtown San Jose by the Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
Figone joked with the audience of more than 200 people that her husband, artist Allen Figone, "now has a new freedom to write letters to the editor of the Mercury News." She says she's told him he's got better ways to spend his time, but I say we would welcome the correspondence. And that also goes for the other honorees: Brian Adams, vice president of marketing/communications at Bellarmine College Prep; former Agilent Technologies CEO Ned Barnholt; Silicon Valley Creates CEO Connie Martinez; and Hopkins & Carley attorney Dick Noack.

Release Process for Axis2 (and other related projects)
Cutting a branch
- When a release is ready to go, release manager (RM) puts forward a release plan as per standard Apache process, including dates. This gets VOTEd on by the committers. During this period the trunk is still the only relevant source base.
- As soon as a release is approved (or even before), RM should add the new version into JIRA as a target.
- At the point where we would normally do the "code freeze" for a release, the RM cuts a branch named for the release. This branch is where the release candidates and releases will happen.
- Ideally a release branch is only around for a week or maybe two before the release happens.
- The only things that should EVER get checked into the release branch are
- bug fixes targeted at the release,
- release-specific updates (documentation, SNAPSHOT removal, etc). In particular new functionality does not go here unless it is a solution to a JIRA report targeted at the release.
- Normal development continues on the trunk.
Dependencies and branches
- The trunk should always be "cutting edge" and as such should usually be pointing at SNAPSHOT versions of all dependencies. This allows for continuous integration with our partner projects.
- Soon after a release branch is cut, the RM is responsible for removing ALL dependencies on SNAPSHOT versions and replacing them with officially released versions. This change happens only on the release branch.
Managing change and issue resolution with a release branch
- The RM goes through JIRA issues and sets "fix for" to point to both "NIGHTLY" and the new branched release number for the fixes that are targeted for the release after the branch is cut.
- In general, the assignee/coder fixes JIRA issues or makes other changes *on the trunk*. If the JIRA issue is targeted at the release, or upon coder's discretion, they then merge the fix over to the release branch.
- This way the trunk is ALWAYS up-to-date, and we don't have to worry about losing fixes that have only been made on the release branch.
- When the assignee resolves an issue, they confirm it's been fixed in both branches, if appropriate.
Checking changes into the branch
- If bug fixes are needed later for a release which has long since happened (to fix user issues, etc), those fixes generally should also happen on the trunk first assuming the problem still exists on the trunk.
- There are only two cases where we would ever check anything into the branch without first checking it into the trunk. 1) Release specific items (release number references, release notes, removal of SNAPSHOTs), and 2) if the trunk has moved on in some incompatible way.
Release specific Artifacts
- It is good practice to keep only a template of the release specific artifacts in the trunk and have the completed one in the branch. These artifacts include items such as the release note.
- tagging for a release should happen using the branch

Work In Progress: Twins - Live!
Jacob Edwards and Catriona Knox were separated at birth, born to simple circus folk who sold them to two different wealthy families - Catriona was exchanged for stocks and shares in Dyson vacuum cleaners, now seen as a shrewd move, Jacob was swapped for a bag of footballs.
The pair were only reunited by chance when they were both cast in the 1988 smash-hit movie 'Twins', ironically a film about twins separated at birth. It was in wardrobe when they compared matching the matching tattoos of Gerry Cottle on their lower backs, they suspected they might be related.
Tonight, they will come together again for the first time since filming to perform the entire story once more, this time live on stage.
Jacob will be reprising his role as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Catriona as Danny DeVito.
Given the scale of the production, rehearsals will take place up to the very last moment. If Catriona and Jacob feel that they've been unable to do the script justice, then instead they'll be performing new characters, sketches and other fun material for your entertainment. It'll be epic either way, so please do come along!

Van Treuren to Lead Research and Faculty Development Effort at School of Engineering and Computer ScienceSept. 6, 2007
Dr. Benjamin Kelley, dean of the School of Engineering and Computer Science at Baylor University, has announced the appointment of Dr. Kenneth Van Treuren, professor of mechanical engineering, as associate dean of research and faculty development of the School.
"Dr. Van Treuren is one of the most thoughtful individuals I've ever encountered. His experience and his passion of Baylor's mission equip him to be successful as associate dean," Kelley said. "Expanding faculty resources for research is a major element of Vision 2012, and I am confident he will take the challenge head-on."
"I am thoroughly excited," Van Treuren said. "I see this as a dynamic position that will grow with the expansion of the School. It is my desire to help the faculty develop their research and teaching skills to the best of their ability. Doing so will help the faculty to better serve our students and support the mission of the university."
Van Treuren's duties will revolve around assisting the School's faculty in identifying and pursuing funded research and project opportunities. This will, in turn, attract more graduate students to the School and provide faculty with more summer salary support, laboratory equipment and opportunities to present papers at conferences, Van Treuren said.
While pursuing research initiatives will dominate Van Treuren's early efforts, he also will facilitate faculty development and will work to develop communication between researchers when they are faced with challenges in their research projects. His goal is to establish a "culture of scholarship" that will inspire both research and teaching.
Over the last few months, Van Treuren has spent a considerable amount of effort examining approaches by other prominent universities and compiled those that best fit the School's situation and needs. He will be using that list as the School's initial roadmap and then adjusting it as things progress.
One example administrators point to as evidence of this work is the new Energy and Society Engaged Learning Group that started this fall. The group is led by professors across several disciplines - from engineering to environmental studies - and the students who take part in the group not only live together in a residential community, but they also will begin conducting research during their sophomore year.
Van Treuren came to Baylor in the fall of 1998 after retiring from the Air Force where he spent 21 years. While in the Air Force, he piloted operational aircraft such as the KC-10A and the KC-135. He also taught at the Air Force Academy and at the Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base in California. He has authored or co-authored dozens of publications ranging from military defense research to how to increase the retention rates of engineering students. His current research projects are in the areas of heat transfer and fluid mechanics.
He is a senior member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, a lifetime member of the Air Force Association and holds membership in the American Society of Engineering Education, the Society of Automotive Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He received his bachelor's degree from Air Force Academy, his master's degree from Princeton University and his doctorate from Oxford.

Walkers on the Camino de Santiago (peregrinos) need to prepare for three different conditions, each requiring its own training:

Long distance day after day

Constant uphill and downhill on dirt paths and asphalt

Carrying a pack, traditionally with all of your gear.

Even if you are an experienced walker, you need this specific training to prepare your body for the conditions on the Camino. You may be able to start with longer mileage, but you need to build up time with the gear you will use on the Camino. Steadily building up time will reduce your risk of injury in training.

I was grateful I followed this training plan before my walk of the Camino de Santiago. The hills, natural surface, and weather conditions require training. Don't just go to Spain and "let the Camino train you."

Training for the Distance

Typical days of walking on the Camino de Santiago are 17 to 30 kilometers - 11 to 19 miles. It is wise to train to walk back-to-back days of 21 kilometers (13.1 miles) - the length of a half marathon.

This level of training will strengthen your muscles and toughen your feet. Training should be done wearing the same footwear, clothing and pack you will be wearing when walking the Camino.

15-Week Camino Training Schedule

• Tuesday, Thursday: Walk 3-4 miles, with either brisk walking or walking uphill and downhill and on natural trails. If you enjoy running, you could also use running/walking intervals. Practice your form for walking uphill and walking downhill.

• Monday, Wednesday, Friday: Days off. If you enjoy walking each day, you may do so, but these are not specifically training days.

• Saturday: Mileage-Building Day. This training day primarily builds distance endurance, it does not have to include significant hills and can be done on asphalt/pavement. It should be at an easy to moderate pace.

• Sunday: Recovery and Hardening Day. This day is shorter to allow some recovery but still get the training effect of back-to-back days. Include hills in the Sunday walks every-other week. This walking day should be at an easy to moderate pace.

Saturday - Sunday Miles Schedule
You can walk any two days of the week back-to-back, we are only using Saturday-Sunday as a suggestion.

Week 1: 4 - 4
Week 2: 5 - 4 with hills
Week 3: 6 - 4
Week 4: 6 - 6 with hills
Week 5: 8 - 6
Week 6: 8 - 6 with hills
Week 7: 8 - 6 with hills
Week 8: 10 - 6
Week 9: 8 - 6 with hills
Week 10: 12 - 6
Week 11: 10 - 8 with hills
Week 12: 12 - 8
Week 13: 14 - 6 with hills
Week 14: 14 - 8
Week 15: 8 - 6 with hills
Week 16: Camino!

Hill Training

Most routes of the Camino have significant hills, both up and down, nearly every day. You need to include hills in your training not only to train your muscles, but also to know how your footwear will perform. Your foot will rub in different places in your shoes/boots going uphill, downhill and on flat ground. All areas of your foot need to be toughened by training time on hills. This hill training will help prevent blisters on the Camino.

If there are no hills for you to train on, search out any incline such as parking garages, overpass/underpass ramps, stairs, or treadmills with incline. With a treadmill, increase the incline steadily until you are spending an hour using the maximum incline. If you can use a treadmill that also has decline, that is as important to train going downhill. Stairs will also train your muscles, but won't have the same effects on your feet/shoes as inclines do. Stairs could be used if you have no other hill training option. More: Training for a Hilly, High Altitude Walk

Speed

Your Saturday-Sunday training days should be done at an easy pace. You will not need speed to walk the Camino. Walking at a brisk pace on the Tuesday and Thursday training days will help build your aerobic conditioning.

Train in Your Camino Gear

Do as much of your training as possible wearing the pack, clothing and shoes you will be wearing on the Camino.

 Shoes: The 15 weeks of training will wear out a typical pair of athletic shoes. It is wise to invest in a fresh pair of the same model and begin to alternate training days in the new pair the month before your Camino. If you develop blisters, practice with different blister-prevention tactics to see what works best for you.

 Pack: Wear a pack on most of your training walks. You should steadily increase its weight until you are carrying the same load you will carry on the Camino. It's best to train with the pack you will use so you are accustomed to how it rides on your back and how it can be adjusted to distribute the load. You will be able to see whether you experience chafing with your pack and where to apply anti-chafing products

 Clothing: You will have a very limited wardrobe on the Camino, train wearing it so you know it will perform well. Shirt, pants, underwear, socks, hat, sunglasses - wear every item on your long training walks. Practice handwashing and air drying these clothes between walking days. Then you will know how much you may need to use laundry service on the Camino.

 Trekking Poles: Most Camino walkers use trekking poles. Use them on your training walks, especially for hills and on natural trails. Learn how to use them and carry them. However, you may not be able to take your poles with you on an airplane unless you check luggage. If you wish to avoid fees, it may be cheaper to buy poles when you arrive in Europe. You may train with different poles from the ones you buy.

High schools begin football practice Monday morning
By Kevin Hill Assistant Sports Editor
Despite expectations to have the new synthetic turf installed at Russellville High School's Cyclone Stadium in time for the start of the 2010 football season, the annual Red-Black scrimmage on Aug. 19 may have to be played at Arkansas Tech University's Thone Stadium at Beurkle Field.
"The season opener we are going to play at home," RHS athletic director Jim Dickerson said Saturday morning. "What we're not sure of is the 19th for the Red-Black game. It's still possible that we can have everything through and play the Red-Black game, if we have good weather and nothing goes wrong."
Dickerson said employees from Jenkins Construction notified him that heavy rains kept crews from moving along at their expected pace, but added they're still on schedule to finish before the "drop-dead date" of Aug. 22 - three days after the Red-White scrimmage.
The Cyclones are scheduled to host an Arkansas Activities Association (AAA) benefit game with Dardanelle and Alma on Aug. 24, although there's always a chance something will come up and cause the game to be moved.
"Even if that happens, it's a benefit game and we could go to Dardanelle if we had to," Dickerson said. "So we're going to be OK no matter what."
Cyclones head coach Jeff Holt said Saturday he's not optimistic about the scrimmage taking place at Cyclone Stadium.
"Well, it looks like it (won't happen) because they're scheduled to be done about the 22nd," he added. "We're hoping to play the benefit game (at Cyclone Stadium), but the Red-Black should be at Tech - though that's not official yet."
Steve Mullins, athletic director and head football coach at Arkansas Tech, said Saturday that Holt discussed the situation with him nearly a couple of weeks ago.
"He (Holt) said that there might be the possibility that they might not have the field ready in time for the scrimmage. He asked if they could use Thone Stadium, and of course we said, 'Sure, that's fine with us," Mullins said, adding Holt would be in touch with him again before the Red-Black game.
"We'll be glad to help them out," Mullins added.
The Russellville School Board approved the installation of synthetic turf at Cyclone Stadium earlier this year. Arkansas Tech's Wonder Boys played their home games at Cyclone Stadium during the 2006 season due to the renovation of Thone Stadium at Buerkle Field, part of the university's Retun to Glory campaign.
Preseason practice schedule
Russellville Cyclones -8-11:30 a.m. Monday through Friday
Clarksville Panthers -8:30 a.m. to noon Monday through Wednesday; 9-11 a.m. Thursday

"I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare."
"Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take."
"Communication is a continual balancing act, juggling the conflicting needs for intimacy and independence. To survive in the world, we have to act in concert with others, but to survive as ourselves, rather than simply as cogs in a wheel, we have to act alone."

Correction: In the ICIS story headlined "Price increases announced for US Gulf toluene, mixed xylenes" dated 26 November 2013, please read the headline as "Price increases announced for US Gulf toluene, xylene" instead of "mixed xylenes". Please read throughout ... xylene ... instead of ... mixed xylenes... A corrected story follows.
HOUSTON (ICIS)--Two distributors have announced price increases for US Gulf (USG) toluene and xylene, both on a DEL (delivered) basis, effective 1 December due to higher barge prices, market sources said on Tuesday.
One distributor has announced a 4 cents/lb ($88/tonne €65/tonne) increase for toluene and 2 cents/lb for xylene, with the possibility of more adjustments on 3 December if necessary, market sources said.
Another distributor, also citing higher distribution costs tied to the more costly barge transportation, has announced a 3 cents/lb increase for toluene and 1 cent/lb for the xylene, also effective 1 December, according to market sources.
Current spot prices as assessed by ICIS for toluene DEL USG are at 54.75-57.00 cents/lb, while xylene prices are assessed at 57.50-60.00 cents/lb.
($1 = €0.74)

Album Rating: 5.0The song Karma was the first song I ever heard of these guys and fell in love with it almost immediately. Still can't believe that Allmusic gave this album a two out of five.
Digging: Face The King - Once More Is All I Am
Album Rating: 4.5Yet another masterpiece from Kamelot
Album Rating: 4.5I think it should be considered as a plain fact that Allmusic don't know anything about music at all.
Anyway, everything about this album is just beautiful and catchy, without being too cheesy or plain to enjoy it. Truly a masterpiece.
Album Rating: 5.0Well, Allmusic does get a lot of things right actually, but in some cases, they act like complete idiots.
Album Rating: 5.0Yea, another killer album. I'm just bumping the crap out of Kamelot today.
Album Rating: 4.5Forever is the best Kamelot song.
Album Rating: 3.5Light I shine and Fall from grace's choruses dude
Album Rating: 5.0Fall From Grace is probably my favorite Kamelot closer aside from Serenade.
Album Rating: 3.5Cuz the LIIIIGHT I SHINE ON YOOOOOOOU
Was what you GAVE to meeeeee
Album Rating: 3.5Wiill you reeviiiiive
from the CHAAAOOOS in my miind
Album Rating: 4.0FLYYYYYY WITH THE WIIIIIIIIIINGS OF DESPAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIR
Album Rating: 3.5Roy was a beast, shame he's not in the music scene anymore.
Album Rating: 4.0I'm kinda sorry for that guy, tbh. He went through depression and all that stress and tiredness really got him.
Yep he's much happier doing what he's doing now and he has in my opinion a better replacement so it's win win for all. Plus his voice was starting to wane in later lives.
Album Rating: 4.0Really, what's he doing currently?
He spent time with his family for a while after leaving, then details of him shaving his head and singing in a church have appeared. He is now a church worker living a quiet and happy life.
Album Rating: 4.5voice degradation is normal ...its called aging. men loose their higher range as they age. nevertheless he was a quality singer as far as his normal range is concerned. of course he didn't apply a lot of technique otherwise expected form an opera trained singer. But damn his Conception and early Kamelot days are unbeatable
Album Rating: 4.0I've heard of the rumours of him having sth to do with the church but didn't know their validity. I guess what works best for him.
Album Rating: 3.0this or Epica fellas?
'both' is an inappropriate answer

The Rangers, by the way, have made no effort to re-sign Colton Orr, who will have no trouble at all scoring a multi-year deal within hours of the opening of the market. We're told Florida is keenly interested in the heavyweight.I've stated my opinion on this several times in the past few months. I'm going to be extremely annoyed if the Rangers let the best young enforcer in the game just walk. Pathetic!

Orr's Days in New York Appear To Be Over
One very pissed off Rangers fan reporting that according to Larry Brooks of the NY Post today:

I think that the majority of NYR fans agree. Say what you want about Renney, but for the most part the Rangers were not pushed around when he was behind the bench. This 'team toughness' that Torts preaches about better not be Detroit "toughness"!
I'm hoping that Dolan steps in and demands Orr is re-signed. Rumor was he got involved a few yrs back after Orr was a scratch against Philly and Fedoruk ran around all afternoon...maybe he can interfere for a good cause this time ;)

This site will look much better in a browser that supports web standards, but it is accessible to any browser or Internet device.
This website was designed and is maintained by volunteers of No Kill Buffalo-Niagara.
How are our local shelters doing?
The chart below shows the progress of Erie County SPCA from 2007 (baseline) to 2013. After several million dollars in Maddie's Foundation grant money, there has been virtually NO improvement in the dog save rate (red line). In the best-performing shelters, the single most important innovation was the implementation of dog playgroups, largely modeled after the Dogs Playing for Life Program of trainer Aimee Sadler. Even after Sadler gave a 2-day hands-on training workshop to Erie County SPCA staff, the innovation was rejected and the needless killing of dogs continues.
Cats fared better (green line), but largely due to a single change in policy: refusal to take feral cats, whose fate was almost certain death. Even so, Erie County SPCA has not implemented a strong Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) program in lieu of taking in the cats. As a result, the needs of Community Cats have largely been abdicated, where they continue to reproduce and live at-large in the community.
Download original annual statistical reports:
* Excluding Owner-Requested-Euthanasia cases is irrelevant. The percentage of such cases has remained stable at the shelter over the entire period under review, in spite of veterinary advances and the advent of hospice/comfort care for pets. Yet, Erie County SPCA's "owner-requested euthanasia" percentage FAR exceeds that of nearly every other shelter in the country, with a whopping 22% of all dog intakes "owner-requested euthanasia." Are all those dogs truly "unhealthy/untreatable?" Or is Erie County SPCA looking the other way when those dogs could be saved? Of the 4,088 requests to put down dogs in 2013, only 4 were refused.
Even excluding "owner-requested euthanasia" cases, Erie County SPCA falls far below the accomplishments of the best-performing shelters in the country. Bottom line: Erie County SPCA is the LEADING cause of death to dogs and cats in our region. And they have hardly implemented life-saving innovations that are allowing other shelters nationwide to save upwards of 95-99% of all the animals in their care.

I recently went to lunch with some co-workers who wanted to try out a new Thai restaurant in Fountain Square, a resurging neighborhood and city-identified cultural district located southeast of downtown Indianapolis. Now, I like to eat, but this was my first experience with Thai and I was a little apprehensive.
Not to worry, it was delish! I'm not sure what the soup was — lemongrass, maybe? — but it had a nice little kick without being overpowering. Then I tried the classic Pad Thai with chicken for the entree. The bean sprouts and chopped peanuts gave the perfect crunch. I washed it all down with green tea. I felt so cosmopolitan, this Midwestern girl diving into such international cuisine.
If you're craving international fare in Central Indiana, Fountain Square is a good place to get it. You can choose from:
- Thai at Siam Square
- Mexican at El Arado, which my co-workers and I have dubbed "Muy Pronto" in honor of the 10+ months that a sign hung on the building saying that the restaurant would be opening muy pronto
- Greek at Santorini's — please don't go home without trying the galaktabouriko for dessert!
- Egyptian at Luxor
- Italian at Gusto!
- American Greasy Spoon at The Peppy Grill — open 24 hours and a regular choice for many of the Square's precinct police officers
- American contemporary at the Shelbi Street Cafe & Bistro — I'm not a salad girl typically, but I have a hard time choosing between the Gingham Salad and the Pecan-Crusted Goat Cheese Salad.
Check out the Fountain Square website for a complete listing of all the restaurants and other destinations that make Fountain Square worth a visit.

Jan, I like the green ones (and orange and yellow). I'm really glad this is not an option I can reach. I would not be able to resist. I want something sweet so much. I won't eat it but I want it!!!! Thanks, Jan. I needed a big puzzle to make up for the ones who can't post.
I admit, Dagmar, I love them, too. But, don't like the green ones, for some reason! Glad you had a sweet afternoon!
What a wonderful way to sweeten my afternoon Jan, no favourites today, I want them all, l love gumdrops. :)))
Thanks for a colourful and sweet surprise today. :)) Have a lovely afternoon.
Thank you, Davie. It was a fun puzzle to make. And at least it has no calories!!
That's incredible. And lovely colors. Thank you.
The image of the gumdrops in the center was used to make all of the surrounding mosaics.

Space Man Statue
This weird statue is located at the southern end of the Extraterrestrial Highway. There is nothing there except what you see here. However, there is a nearby ranch with some scattered buildings; the rest is desert. It is on private property, viewable only from the highway. This is in the area of Nevada where the famed Area 51 is, somewhat to the north.[Gerald D Massey, 07/08/2012]
Alien Research Center
My wife and I recently rode the Extraterrestrial Highway and noted that the Alien Research Center is now sporting a huge sheet metal alien sculpture that stands taller than the building itself.[Daniel Barber, 06/18/2009]
Alien Research Center
On the Extraterrestrial Highway between Alamo and Rachel, NV is a large open hangar with a sign outside saying "Alien Research Center: Snoopers Welcome". At the time of our visit it didn't seem to have anyone manning it, but there was a black pickup parked inside. Maybe the owner was abducted?![Adam Boudrow, 10/28/2006]

14-year-old charged in killing of street artist in Detroit

The Canadian Press
Published Thursday, September 4, 2014 5:36PM EDT
DETROIT - A 14-year-old boy has been charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery in the fatal shooting of a French street artist whose body was discovered a year ago near an abandoned Detroit public housing project.
Prosecutor Kym Worthy says the boy was 13 when he and three other young males killed 23-year-old Bilal Berreni.
The boy appeared in court Thursday. The judge ordered him detained until his next hearing, Sept. 11. The other suspects were charged Wednesday.
Worthy says the teen is designated as an adult in the juvenile court system. If he's convicted, a judge could sentence him as a juvenile, an adult or a juvenile for a period, then an adult.
Prosecutors aren't naming him because of his age. The Associated Press doesn't name juveniles accused of crimes.

Zamora publishes book tracing Mexican workers employment opportunities during WWII
Fri, December 19, 2008
The book covers Mexican workers fight for equal rights in transnational settings, an enterprise that has allowed him to make recognized contributions in various fields, including Mexican American, Texas, labor and Mexico history.
In Claiming Rights and Righting Wrongs in Texas, Zamora traces the wartime experiences of Mexican workers as they moved from rural to urban settings in search of improved employment opportunities. Zamora contends that although the expanded wartime economy allowed many of them to improve their occupational standing, discrimination slowed their movement from agricultural to nonagricultural employment and reinforced inequality.
Zamora also points out that the fight against discrimination and inequality—a historic concern in the Mexican community—achieved added importance during the war years in large part because they energized Mexico's advocacy policy of Mexicans in the exterior and prompted the State Department to promote the Good Neighbor Policy principles of wartime understanding and good will in the domestic arena.
Inserting the cause for equal rights among Mexicans as a defining concern in intergovernmental relations meant that race had assumed hemispheric importance. Texas, according to Zamora, became a point of contention as Mexico isolated it as a test site for the application of a Good Neighbor Policy and the State Department rendered aid and advice to policy makers in Texas to win the favor of the U.S.'s principal ally in the Americas.
The State Department's response to Mexico's interventions included an inter-agency focus on Mexicans in the United States that Zamora assesses with an examination of the work of the Fair Employment Practice Committee (FEPC) in Texas. Although the FEPC's efforts at enforcing the nation's nondiscrimination policy in wartime industries did not achieve great success, they stood in contrast to the policy of the United States Employment Service to discourage the movement of Mexicans out of agriculture.
Against a backdrop of a booming wartime economy, heightened intergovernmental relations and inconsistent U.S. government policies, Zamora also examines the civil and labor rights activity of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC). Although other organizations spoke out against discrimination and inequality, LULAC became the favored intermediary between the Mexican and U.S. governments. Its members worked closely with Mexican consular staff and FEPC officials to advance pan-Americanism, equal rights and a political identity as Americans in the original (hemispheric) sense of the word.

The Utility of the Washington and Lee Rankings
As this fall's law review submission period winds down, I am forced to ponder yet again the utility of the Washington and Lee law journal rankings. My aim is not to question their methodology here; rather, I wonder whether counterintuitive results — that is, results that don't comport with a law school's U.S. News and World Report rankings — can override the prestige rankings in the heads of law professors (rankings that generally match up with USN&WR). I would be the first to admit that W&L's ranking methodology based largely on citation counts appears to be a more legitimate way to differentiate among law journals than a gut reaction that a higher-ranked law school must have a better journal. But it's still a struggle to overcome the little rankings voice in my head repeating a mantra that has been with me since I first applied to law school almost fifteen years ago.
So, for example, a friend with an offer from the Virginia Journal of International Law — ranked first among international journals by W&L — sends me an e-mail to ask if she should expedite with the Harvard International Law Journal (ranked #2 by W&L) and the Yale Journal of International Law (ranked #6 by W&L). I don't dispute that VAJIL may garner more cites than the Yale and Harvard journals, and as a scholar of international law, I'm fully aware that it's considered the top specialty journal in the field. However, if I'm looking at a publication on an AALS form or a resume, particularly if it's in a specialty journal in a field that I'm not familiar with, I have to admit that the fancier law school names would jump off the page at me a bit more energetically.
The issue might arise with more frequency in specialty journals, but we see it also in flagships. So, for example, if you were weighing an offer from the Ohio State Law Journal and the Washington University Law Review, which one would you take? I might be inclined to Wash U, which I'm well aware is a top 20 law school. However, the Ohio State Journal outranks the Wash U Journal by 10-16 places in W&L's book, depending on how you slice it. But the prestige, the prestige, the prestige, the little voice chants — it's hard to move beyond that factor.
So which is more important — citation counts or prestige? I'm interested to hear what readers think, and my instinct is that it may depend on the purpose of the publication. So, for example, if you're on the job market or pre-tenure, you might be inclined to jump on the prestige factor, which may be more impressive to people judging your qualifications for a teaching job or tenure. If you're already tenured or looking to lateral, you might lean towards the citation count (assuming that your work will be more widely read and cited in such a journal, which may be a questionable assumption) because you might care more about engaging in dialogue with your peers and looking beyond your own law school.
What about you? Are you really going to turn down that offer from the Georgetown Journal of International Law to go with the Houston Journal of International Law, which is consistently ranked several slots higher by W&L? Or does the little voice win that battle?

The other thing about this camera that I really love is the hand grip on base of camera it makes holding the camera still a real breeze.

Nagant 1895 revolvers
I've searched this forum on the subject of Nagant revolvers and still have a few questions. I've found arsenal refinished Nagants for $75+S&H+transfer and a bunch of my friends want them now too.
1. Apparently 32 S&W Long works in Nagants (I don't want to spend $25/50rds). Are there any problems that arise from a steady diet of 32 SW Long? I don't care about thrashing the brass. I found 32 SW Long for the same price as 7.62x39 steel case ammo---cheap.
2. I understand they have a hammer-mounted firing pin (that looks like something from a Tarantino movie). Is it safe to carry with all 7 cylinders loaded?
3. Are they still accurate with 32 SW Long ammo?
Anything I'm missing?
I fully understand that the DA pull is awful, and the SA pull is...tolerable. I've heard Nagants are accurate, despite all the shortfalls. All I expect is a cheap bunny snuffer that will probably spend most of its time on the range.

I own two of them and fired nothing but 32 S&W longs and sometimes the mags when I can get them. No problems shooting 32s out of them (may get slight case bulge by the rim). It appears safe to have all chambers loaded, and it is fairly accurate depending on the ammo. I have success shooting it SA with 86gr lead S&W longs.

You can get a conversion cylinder for 32 ACP for those, I understand. Well it would be cheaper than the Nagant replica ammo. The regular "short" 32 S&W carts are not loaded very hot at all, so they ain't gonna break the gun, if they hold together on firing. Like, all of them are factory loaded to 600-700 fps, probably toward the lower end. My only beef with them is they look cool and archaic, but on close inspection, alot of them look like they were made from iron blocks by Afghans with coarse hand files in a tin hut somewhere. Presumably the pre Soviet ones were nicer?
Your gun is like your nose, it is just wrong for someone else to pick it for you!

I don't think they look rough at all. Here's mine. It's a 1944 Izzy I got from Century Arms for $69 last year. I have fired .32 S&W Longs in it many times.

I have a couple too. They are safe to load all 7. Trigger must be pulled for the firing pin to contact a cartridge's primer. I have fired 32 s&w long and the cases bulge and split. With my 2, accuracy isn't that great with anything other than factory nagant ammo, the gas seal stuff. I have a 32 acp cylinder that will fit in one but not the other. Accuracy is really bad with the 32 acp when compared to actual nagant ammo (hotshot), which is very accurate. I may get the 32 acp cylinder reamed to take the 32 mags one day, but haven't found a place to do that yet.
They are fun, and you will enjoy yours I'm sure.

They're even cooler suppressed. One of the few revolvers that can do it well, and looks better with a can than without.

Someone broke into my house last night. Broke a window on the first floor. I grabbed my Nagant. Caught him as he climbed in the window, lined up center chest and squeezed the trigger. Shot him in the back on his way out after he grabbed my TV and DVD player.
WA, had it first, but I think I improved it a little.
Guns are great. Fun to shoot.

so you actually shot an intruder with a nagant- do you all have the castle provision over there....or am I missing a joke or something....so if its not a joke, was that with .32 longs or hr mags....... edit, after careful thought I am leaning toward the belief that this is a joke regarding the anemic properties of the nagant and its round(s)

joke on the trigger creep
The round is not anemic, you just have to use the pistol as originally intended. Proper use also eliminates problems with accuracy resuting from the extreme trigger pull.
1.Find a POW or deserter
2.have them kneel on their knees
3.touch muzzle to head
When the Nagant was designed most of Europe thought of officers as above the battlefield fighting. They were there to keep the troops in line. Side arms were for executions and shooting your own men trying to retreat.

I would also like a further explanation of how the 32/20 works or a link to some explanation or anything more on this.
NM I see you mean use the brass and reload with the Nagant dies.

Mine was actually more accurate with .32 S&W Longs than with original Russian 7.62x38R target ammo, which works out quite well due to the difference in price between the 2.Neat guns.

Yeah, i took mine out today, just for a visual inspection, etc, and I still get a kick out of how ugly cool that darn thing is- and how freakin heavy the trigger pull is........ normally I avoid any caliber I cannot readily get round here, but the fact that it shoots .32 s+w too sold me..... and maybe I will pick up a box of the h+r mags for JIC- though i would have to be about out of everything to go to my nagant for defense......

Thought they made two versions of the gun, one a double action for "officers" and a single action for "sgts" and some enlisted. Have never seen a single action but have shot and owned several "officers' guns...
Reportedly this revolver was the gun of choice for Russian international target shooters How they ever shot well enough to score with the yards of trigger pull is beyond me.
The KGB thought highly of these with a shortened 3" barrel. Used them to kill the Czar and his family says the history books. Or tried to, apparently when they tried to shoot the female family members in the prison basement the .32 rounds bounced off the gold coins and jewlery stuffed in the under clothing...

All-Star picks: What to do with Big Papi, Jeter and more
Warning! My All-Star teams are a mish-mosh of conflicting agendas, just like the actual selections will be.
I like fresh faces as well as big names. I like players with game-changing skills. And – forgive me, Internet police, for I am about to sin – I also like players with compelling narratives.
Let others play paint-by-numbers and choose their All-Stars by Wins Above Replacement. I'm influenced by WAR, too. I'm just not a slave to it here, even though the outcome determines home-field advantage for the World Series.
It's still an All-Star Game, OK? It's not a presidential election or something truly important, like a Most Valuable Player award.
As always, to make the selection process as realistic as possible, I am picking 34 All-Stars for each team and, yes, following the rule that each club must be represented.
The era of diminished offense makes the pitching choices even more difficult; there will be notable omissions even in my notable omissions. Seems everyone who can pick up a ball has a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 10-to-1, while every hitter is batting about .205.
In any case, don't worry about your favorite player getting snubbed. Between injuries and ineligible pitchers, about 200 players eventually will be named All-Stars. The game has become sort of like Little League, where everyone gets a trophy.
The teams will be announced Sunday. The game will air on FOX a week from Tuesday at Target Field. Direct all complaints to the usual place on Twitter: @Ken_Rosenthal. If you prefer Facebook, you can find me at kenrosenthalsports.
Here we go. Starters denoted with asterisks.
Pitchers (13)
*Felix Hernandez, Mariners
Dellin Betances, Yankees
Mark Buehrle, Blue Jays
Yu Darvish, Rangers
Sean Doolittle, Athletics
Greg Holland, Royals
Scott Kazmir, Athletics
Corey Kluber, Indians
Jon Lester, Red Sox
Jake McGee, Rays
David Price, Rays
Garrett Richards, Angels
Masahiro Tanaka, Yankees
Notable omissions: Wade Davis, Royals; Sonny Gray, Athletics; Dallas Keuchel, Astros; Glen Perkins, Twins; David Robertson, Yankees; Chris Sale, White Sox; Rick Porcello, Tigers; Anibal Sanchez, Tigers; Max Scherzer, Tigers; Koji Uehara, Red Sox.
All of the above have legitimate cases; Robertson leads AL relievers with 15.61 strikeouts per nine innings, and Davis is fourth with 14.24, but I couldn't fit either in my bullpen.
Tanaka will be selected but likely won't be eligible because he is scheduled to pitch the Sunday before the game. I would replace him with Sale, who missed a month with a flexor muscle strain, but is walking filth.
Infielders/DH (12)
*Edwin Encarnacion, Blue Jays
Jose Abreu, White Sox
Miguel Cabrera, Tigers
*Nelson Cruz, Orioles
Victor Martinez, Tigers
*Jose Altuve, Astros
Robinson Cano, Mariners
Brian Dozier, Twins
*Derek Jeter, Yankees
Erick Aybar, Angels
*Adrian Beltre, Rangers
Kyle Seager, Mariners
Notable omissions: Josh Donaldson, Athletics; Alcides Escobar, Royals; Ian Kinsler, Tigers; Brandon Moss, Athletics; David Ortiz, Red Sox; Alexei Ramirez, White Sox.
Altuve leads the majors with 118 hits and the American League with 37 stolen bases – and at 5-foot-5, he's only a half-inch taller than me. Not that I'm biased, but I've already named him my All-Star MVP.
Second base actually is quite crowded. Dozier's offensive numbers aren't as good as Kinsler's, but I'm throwing Twins fans a bone. The good people of Minnesota can also thank me for excluding Big Papi, who got released by the Twins in 2002 and has tortured them ever since.
It's no great snub; Ortiz isn't as deserving as Martinez and Cruz. I also had an ulterior motive for excluding Papi – I want to see him go all Kanye if he doesn't make the team.
Finally, a message to the anti-Jeter crowd: Who would you prefer, Ramirez? Escobar? Pedro Florimon? Stephen Drew?
The celebration of great careers is part of what the ASG is about.
Outfielders (6)
*Jose Bautista, Blue Jays
*Mike Trout, Angels
*Yoenis Cespedes, Athletics
Michael Brantley, Indians
Coco Crisp, Athletics
Alex Gordon, Royals
Notable omissions: Melky Cabrera, Blue Jays; Adam Jones, Orioles; George Springer, Astros.
Man, I'd love to get Springer on there, or at least see him in the Home Run Derby; he has hit 16 homers, or two more than Miguel Cabrera in 58 fewer at-bats. He also is eighth in the AL in OPS as an outfielder.
Jones is worthy, but I prefer Crisp, a switch hitter who can steal a base – and one of the most valuable A's.
Catchers (3)
*Derek Norris, Athletics
Salvador Perez, Royals
Kurt Suzuki, Twins
Notable omissions: Chris Iannetta, Angels; Matt Wieters, Orioles.
Wieters, who leads in the fan balloting, has appeared in only 26 games. Norris doesn't play every day, but he's the AL leader in OPS as a catcher by a wide margin. Iannetta, another part-timer, is second in OPS, but I'll take Suzuki, who is having a breakthrough season at 30 and would give the game a second Twin.
Pitchers (14)
*Adam Wainwright, Cardinals
Johnny Cueto, Reds
Henderson Alvarez, Marlins
Madison Bumgarner, Giants
Aroldis Chapman, Reds
Clayton Kershaw, Dodgers
Craig Kimbrel, Braves
Jonathon Niese, Mets
Francisco Rodriguez, Brewers
Alfredo Simon, Reds
Julio Teheran, Braves
Rafael Soriano, Nationals
Huston Street, Padres
Jordan Zimmermann, Nationals
Notable omissions: Josh Beckett, Dodgers; Jonathan Broxton, Reds; Steve Cishek, Marlins; Zack Greinke, Dodgers; Jason Hammel, Cubs; Tim Hudson, Giants; Ian Kennedy, Padres; Jean Machi, Giants; Pat Neshek, Cardinals; Jonathan Papelbon, Phillies; Jeff Samardzija, Cubs; Stephen Strasburg, Nationals; Tony Watson, Pirates.
I'm going with a 14-man staff, and it still isn't enough. Consider the rotation I could form just from the omissions; Grienke, Hammel, Hudson, Samardzija and Strasburg. I also wish I could find spots for some of the other relievers, but the statistics for my selections are just ridiculous.
Simon makes five Reds, which is perhaps excessive for a team that is just two games over .500. Still, the guy is ninth in the NL in ERA after opening the season in the rotation only due to injuries. Like Alvarez – and unlike some of the bigger names – he also was terrific in June.
Wainwright over Cueto to start was extremely close. Hudson would be the first pitcher I added in case of injury.
Infielders (9)
*Paul Goldschmidt, Diamondbacks
Freddie Freeman, Braves
Anthony Rizzo, Cubs
*Chase Utley, Phillies
Dee Gordon, Dodgers
Starlin Castro, Cubs
*Troy Tulowitzki, Rockies
*Todd Frazier, Reds
Casey McGehee, Marlins
Notable omissions: Brandon Crawford, Giants; Scooter Gennett, Brewers; Josh Harrison, Pirates; Adam LaRoche, Nationals; Justin Morneau, Rockies; Daniel Murphy, Mets; Jhonny Peralta, Cardinals; Aramis Ramirez, Brewers; Anthony Rendon, Nationals; Joey Votto, Reds.
First base is crazy; five of the top 12 in OPS in the NL play the position, and LaRoche and Morneau are quite deserving.
Gordon, because of his base-stealing ability, is more of a weapon for this game than Gennett or Murphy (and to add to the fun, I chose Billy Hamilton for my outfield, too.)
I love Rendon at third, but McGehee is tied for seventh in the league with 49 RBIs despite hitting only one home run, and his on-base percentage is .380.
Outfielders (8)
*Carlos Gomez, Brewers
*Andrew McCutchen, Pirates
*Giancarlo Stanton, Marlins
Yasiel Puig, Dodgers
Billy Hamilton, Reds
Jason Heyward, Braves
Hunter Pence, Giants
Seth Smith, Padres
Notable omissions: Michael Morse, Giants; Justin Upton, Braves.
The biggest question is which three should start.
Stanton is second in the league in OPS and McCutchen third, so it came down to Puig vs. Gomez. Both are electric, but I'll go with Gomez, the better defender.
Heyward, likewise, isn't as productive a hitter as his teammate Upton, but he is the game's top-rated defender according to defensive runs saved. I want him in right field in the late innings.
Catchers (3)
*Jonathan Lucroy, Brewers
Yadier Molina, Cardinals
Buster Posey, Giants
Notable omissions: Evan Gattis, Braves; Devin Mesoraco, Reds.
Gattis would have made my team if he had not gone on the DL with a bulging thoracic disc. Mesoraco's candidacy also was compromised by injuries; his OPS of 1.026 would be second in the league to Tulowitzki if he qualified.

Promoters meet ahead of Barcelona race
11 May 2014 – Formula 1 race promoters met ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix to discuss fans' concerns over the sport.
Overseen by Ron Walker, Chairman of the Australian Grand Prix Corporation (AGPC), the meeting was staged "for the benefit of all of the fans who are concerned about maintaining the unique feeling of Formula 1."
Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone was also in attendance, while 17 countries were represented.
In the wake of the season-opening Melbourne event, Walker had hit out at the sound of the sport's new turbocharged power units, and said he would be conversing with Ecclestone in a bid to find a solution.
"I was not too happy with the sound," said Walker, speaking to The Age. "We are resolving that with Bernie.
"He's [Ecclestone] horrified about it. It will be an issue for all promoters all round the world."
Governing body the FIA has not released any details about the topics covered during the meeting.

SA business confidence on the rise
Despite lacklustre readings from the South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry business confidence index and the Bureau of Economic Research's survey of business confidence for the second quarter, Moody's Analytics believes that South Africa's recovery is durable and that business confidence is on an upward trajectory.
However, it cautions that the climb will be difficult, adding that wage negotiations and labour strikes could sour the mood in the near term.
"Confidence is volatile and sensitive to social, political and economic events. Domestically, wage negotiations and labour strikes could raise doubts about the business climate. Unrest in the Middle East, Japan's disaster, and Europe's sovereign debt drama have also taken a toll on sentiment. Some of these effects will be transitory; others such as Europe's fiscal crisis could persist," the analysts say.—I-Net Bridge

On Thursday, 6/20, after having not received my knives I wnet through the same process. Net net, they overnighted them to me and I received them today. The knives were Ok and sharpened but no better than I can get locally.
I don't think there is anything going on here other than incoompetence but would never use them again. It seems like a mom and pop business that has no concept of customer service. . All htey needed to do was tell me they were running late and not mislead me about mailings etc. It almost feels like the company just changed hands.
I definelty did not recieve the service I expected.
I am not someone who complains but this was ridiculous.
