Another one of my daily quickie videos. This time testing the functionality and convenience of recording from an iPhone in the car.
So, this is the X-mount that I was talking about recently in my second daily update video. It came in; ordered it from Amazon and was brought to me aday before I was expecting because Amazon is awesome and I just want to test it out.
So, basically, what I've got here is a little suction cup thing on my windshield. A "universal little clippy"thing. It allows me to put my iPhone in that thing even though it has a case on it. I've got a little auto box case on there. I don't have to take the thing off. So, a lot of these attachments that you find out therefor the iPhone; you have to take the case off, put it in some special case with a tripod now, so, I found one that is universal. Literally it's like 4 little pins and it just comes down and grabs the phone and you could put the phone in there in a second or two. It's really, really cool.
And then, the only other thing that I've done is I went ahead and picked up a little remote here for the iPhone. So, it seems kind of weird, "why do I need a remote control to control something which is just literally sitting a foot and a half away from me?"
Well, it's because I can start and stop the video without having to reach over there and find it. Especially if I use the rear camera of my phone, I can't see my own screen. So, it will be sitting there and trying to hunt for the thing will really be annoying. With this, all I got to do is make sure I launch the camera app.so what I can do is put the camera app in my shortcut bar at the bottom and just maybe launch it before I put it in and then as long as that app is open and running, I can start and stop the recording with the remote control and have some control over it without having to do anything funky-wonky.
So, far it's a good little setup. The only thing I don't yet have is my microphone adaptor to allow me to record having a mic. But actually, with my few little tests the audio is not too bad even though I'm just talking to you on the built-in microphone. So… so far my quest is systematizing and making it really easy to record videos from the car. It's kind'a working out here. And maybe in the next video or something like that I'd to show some of the gear that I bought, on screen. You guys can check it out if you want. I'll probably have to hand-hold the camera in order to show that to you.
So, anyway… I saw some people in Facebook by the way, they're looking and saying that they were looking to maybe do something that I'm doing because I was motivating them to do it or something and… That's so cool! A lot of us are carrying around a phone so it's really easy! You just got to take the effort and get the stuff you need so that you're not going to be sitting there worrying about how much work it is; you're just able to do it. So that's what I'm doing by buying these few little items.

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast, Feb. 15 (UPI) -- The police force in Ivory Coast must work for the whole of the country as it steps away from post-election civil conflict, a U.N. official said.
Bert Koenders, U.N. special envoy to Ivory Coast, toured Ivorian police training centers alongside members of the U.N. police force.
Koenders, in a statement, said it was "an important time" to strengthen a police force "who work for the whole country, all regions and all citizens."
The U.N. peacekeeping mission in Ivory Coast, known by its French initials UNOCI, said effective police training would help in the fight against racketeering, which it said drags on the Ivorian economy.
Ivory Coast was pushed close to civil war following contested presidential elections in November 2010. Former President Laurent Gbagbo is awaiting trial at the International Criminal Court on charges of committing crimes against humanity, though human rights groups believe both sides to the conflict likely committed atrocities.
Nevertheless, Koenders said the country was moving along on the path toward post-conflict recovery.
"I am proud of the work that was done and we can see a breakthrough in cooperation between the U.N. and institutions of the country to modernize and build capacity," he said in a statement.

Andy Murray delayed by drug test before receiving OBE at Buckingham Palace
Wimbledon champion Andy Murray was delayed on his way to receiving an OBE at Buckingham Palace on Thursday.
Last Updated: 17/10/13 10:50pm
The Scot, who became the first British man in 77 years to win Wimbledon when he beat Novak Djokovic in July, got an unexpected knock on the door as he was preparing for his royal engagement.
"In the middle of a drug test hahaha I'm goin to be late!!" wrote Murray, who is recovering from back surgery, on Twitter.
Olympic champion Murray was all smiles when he did arrive at Buckingham Palace to be presented with an OBE.
The tennis star was receiving the honour from the Duke of Cambridge, who was hosting his first investiture ceremony.
Murray arrived at the palace with girlfriend Kim Sears and his parents Willie and Judy in a chauffeur-driven people carrier.
Murray was awarded the OBE in the New Year Honours, before his historic triumph at Wimbledon, after winning the US Open and men's tennis final at London 2012.
The British No 1 is currently out of action after undergoing back surgery, but hopes to make a return to competitive tennis before next year's Australian Open.
"I'm not going to come back until I'm 100 per cent fit so I'll have to wait and see," he told Sky Sports News.
"I've been recovering well, I've been doing my rehab and I haven't hit a tennis ball for four weeks.
"It's probably going to be another four weeks or so before I can start getting on the court again, but I'll just have to wait and see. "

Evon Mallard couldn't believe the thick plumes of smoke she saw rising.
One minute the Southside Fire Department volunteer was in training. The next she was responding to a hay fire outside her home at Oakland Plantation.
More than 20 Southside firefighters worked the open-area field along Buckhalter Road off Ogeechee Road, where some 80 to 100 bales of hay sizzled around 4 p.m. White billows of smoke could be seen from Interstate 16.
Lt. John Frank busily directed the firefighters, who sprayed water on the blackening bales.
They filled and re-filled two of the department's water tankers. The Garden City Fire Department also used its 3,000-gallon tanker.
Frank hadn't started to investigate the cause of the fire, but said hay bales can generate heat if the centers are damp.
Mallard's husband, Tommy, the caretaker of the property, told her he had heard the sound of wheels pealing on the road next to the plantation.
"He drove up and it was engulfed," she said.
Tommy Mallard and Sandra Buckosh tried to put out the initial blaze by dousing flames with buckets of water.
"It wasn't that bad," Buckosh said. "Then all of a sudden it exploded."
Broward Hunter, a retired caretaker who lives near the property, worked with Tommy Mallard to move the bales.
Firefighters raked loose and hosed down the smoldering bales. Hunter pushed aside those that weren't burning. They will become chow for the cows, which were at a safe distance, he said.
Were they sweating it out?
"If they knew their feed was getting burned they would be," Hunter said.

text: (Adds fresh quote, details on auctions, reserves) By Miguel Gutierrez and Michael O'Boyle MEXICO CITY, Feb 17 (Reuters) - Mexico's central bank on Wednesday unexpectedly raised its benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points to 3.75 percent, sparking a rally in the long-battered peso currency, while the government vowed to cut spending. Mexico's central bank also intervened directly in the foreign exchange market to sell dollars as part of a major policy shift to support the peso, which plunged to fresh lows in recent weeks. "This is not the beginning of a cycle of interest rate hikes," Agustin Carstens, governor of the Banco de Mexico, the country's central bank. The shift in foreign exchange intervention policy marks an unexpected break from Banco de Mexico's general preference for rules-based intervention and is the first time since 2009 that it has opted for direct dollar sales. Finance Minister Luis Videgaray said the government would make spending cuts to the 2016 budget to the tune of 0.7 percent of gross domestic product. He said the government would also propose that state oil company Pemex cut its expenses by 100 billion pesos. "Man, catching everyone by surprise. These guys are going the classical defense route. One would've figured that they wouldn't hike after the cuts from Hacienda/PEMEX," said Edwin Gutierrez, head of emerging market sovereign debt at Aberdeen Asset Management in London. The peso, which has been hit by sinking oil prices, surged on Wednesday, approaching its strongest level since Jan. 15, after marking a new all-time low last week at 19.4480 per U.S. dollar. The peso gained as much as 4.86 percent on Wednesday to 17.962 per dollar, at one point posting its biggest one-day gain since September 2011. It last traded at a 3.27 percent rise on the day at 18.2650. Dan Ivascyn, Group Chief Investment Officer at PIMCO, which has exposure to Mexico, told Reuters: "We find Mexican bonds and currency attractive from a long-term perspective. Short-term performance will continue to be influenced by moves in oil market." Mexico is committed to a freely floating exchange rate and usually refrains from opting for more direct forms of intervention used by other emerging market economies. Shares of companies with high dollar-debt exposure, such as banks and cement company Cemex, were sharply higher. Cemex traded 8.5 percent firmer at 9.54 pesos a share, while Banorte was up 4.6 percent at 90.46 pesos. Last month Mexico's currency commission, which is comprised of the central bank and the Finance Ministry, said it would maintain a daily dollar auction program that offered up to $400 million a day whenever the peso falls sharply. The central bank spent over $28 billion in the auctions, which were introduced in December 2014, according to Banorte.

Finally, if you're looking for a real megabomb in the Future Book, you might find him in Gulfstream's third race Saturday. His name is Monarchoftheglen, a colt we've discussed on numerous occasions. Right now, he's purely a guess, but he showed enough good things in his last start to suggest there is vast improvement to come. It will have to begin Saturday against some hard-knocking colts, but if he is Derby material, he should get by this hurdle, and then he'll be a name people will start taking notice of. The other colt in this race to keep an eye on down the road is Buddha, who was very impressive breaking his maiden last time out at 7 furlongs.
If you're looking for big prices for the Kentucky Derby, you won't find them in the "all others" mutuel field. Or if you like a longshot in the current Future Wager field who is running this weekend, you almost have to hope he loses in order to get a decent price. So, it might be best to just bet your longshots in these races and take what you can. Of all the stakes this weekend, the Florida Derby offers the most value by far. We've always liked Nokoma, but let's face it, if you didn't play him at 43-1 in the first Future Wager, you're not going to make a killing on him, whether you play him in Pool 2 or simply bet him in the Florida Derby, where he is the likely third choice.There are two horses in the Florida Derby, however, who should be good prices, and a victory or even a second-place finish would catapult them right to the top of the leading contenders list. They are D'Coach and High Star. Each horse has done something this year that has left a lasting impression. Although most people think of D'Coach as a late-closing stretch runner, it's been his acceleration on the far turn that stands out the most, and then the ability to sustain it. This horse is already rolling by the time he turns for home. Blinkers should help keep his mind on business. He has as strong a mile and a quarter pedigree as any 3-year-old, and he has the same kind of running style as his sire Dehere, keeping his head down and unleashing that powerful acceleration. Although he certainly can win the Florida Derby, he only has to show he fits with these horses. Could be a strong each-way horse in the exacta.The one horse whose action in the stretch has impressed us the most is High Star. We love the way he changed leads and glided down the stretch in his last start. He has beautiful, smooth action and can really level off. He still hasn't shown any knockout punch, and we really don't know what his best style is yet. But if he can lay about four or five lengths off the pace and just level off the way he's been doing, he has shown enough in his last several races to suggest he has the ability to keep getting stronger as the race progresses.While Booklet and Harlan's Holiday are tough, classy colts, they're certainly not world beaters, and will be the two solid favorites, so there's no real bargain in that respect. And Booklet will have to contend with Nokoma's recently purchased stablemate, Smooth Jazz, who appears to be in here strictly to soften up the speed. Nokoma has been working brilliantly and should be ready for a big effort. Blue Burner also gets blinkers and should improve off his third in the Fountain of Youth. But remember, we're talking about Bailey and Mott, so he also could be down pretty low. Bargain-wise, this year's Florida Derby could be a good spot for a new face to jump into the picture, and that looks like D'Coach or High Star, or even both.In the San Felipe, Siphonic is likely to be 3-5 and lower, and there is absolutely no reason to think he'll get beat. But, if you don't want to just sit back and watch, then you should get a good, solid run from Puerto Banus. Although he was no match for USS Tinosa in the Sham, you have to remember, he went into that race with only two career starts behind him, with his previous start coming only nine days earlier. USS Tinosa, on the other hand, not only had eight starts under him, six of them were in stakes and he won or placed in all of them. Puerto Banus is a rangy, long-striding colt who should improve with racing. He's coming off a bullet mile work and a sharp 6-furlong drill, so he now has the bottom he needs to catch up to the horses who have more racing experience. We also like the fact that he won his career debut coming from the clouds going 6 1/2 furlongs. As we've said, he's really bucking history, not having raced at 2, but if he shows he can compete with Siphonic on Sunday, then he should only keep getting better.So, there are three price horses you might have some fun with this weekend, regardless of how you play them. And, if they prove they're good enough, it might be worthwhile to remember that all three are on target to peak on the first Saturday in May.

Samsung paired with up Jay-Z for the launch of his latest album. This partnership brought the release of the Magna Carta Holy Grail app that allowed one million people to grab the full album a few days before the public release. This was a fairly unique way to launch an album and not only assured one million people would have the album, but with what sounded good came some bad.
There were numerous complaints the day the album was made available. Most of the complaints dealt with users not actually being able to download the tracks. Those issues seem to have worked themselves out with some time (and patience on the part of the users). But when those dissolved a new series of complaints surfaced.
These others were dealing with the way the app required lots of social sharing in order to grab any extras. One example was with the lyrics. Basically, you were going to be sharing something on a social network if you wanted to grab the lyrics direct from the app. Taking this all a step further though, the Magna Carta Holy Grail app also received some attention from officials at the US civil liberties group the Electronic Privacy Information Centre (Epic).
In this case there were claims about the app being used to collect "massive amounts of personal information from users, including location data." And addressing the social sharing for extras came talk of "hidden spam techniques." Well, flash forward to the present day and it looks like Samsung has responded to those claims.
Samsung has addressed the issue of privacy, mentioning that it is a top priority for them. Furthermore, they called the complaints "baseless." The Samsung statement read as follows;
"Any information obtained through the application download process was purely for customer verification purposes, app functionality purposes and for marketing communications, but only if the customer requests to receive those marketing communications… Samsung is in no way inappropriately using or selling any information obtained from users through the download process."

Johannesburg - All social grants will be paid in April after a dispute between the SA Social Security Agency (Sassa) and service providers was resolved on Wednesday, said Social Development Minister Zola Skweyiya.
"[Sassa] has concluded negotiations and agreed on 12-month contract extensions with the three service providers contracted to pay social grants - CPS, All Pay and Empilweni," said the minister in a statement.
"This means that social grants payments will not be disrupted at [all]. April payments will be paid without interruptions."
Earlier on Wednesday, a dispute arose from a Treasury decision that the three companies which transport the cash for the grants only be given interim one year contracts pending the publication of new tenders when their old contracts expired this month.
The Department of Social Development said the other two companies - Empilweni and Allpay - had agreed that payment would be effected for the month of April.
But, Cash Paymaster Services apparently would not effect the payments unless granted a two-year contract with the same terms and conditions as the expiring contracts, said departmental spokesperson Zanele Mngadi.
Once the matter was resolved late on Wednesday, Skweyiya said the ministry was pleased because most beneficiaries of the grants were solely dependent on them to "put food on the table".
"They cannot afford not to get paid even for one day. We were not going to rest until a solution was found," he said.
Skweyiya assigned the Director General of Social Development, Vusi Madonsela, and the CEO of SASSA, Fezile Makiwane, to find an urgent solution to the issue.
April will be the first month that people receive the increases allocated in the recent budget.
Those receiving old age, disability and care dependency grants will receive an extra R50, bringing their income to R1 010 a month, for example.
Social grants are known to be shared among an entire family, or with more needy neighbours, and were often not just for the personal use of the recipient.

Isn't this an event dominated by public librarians? Why should academic librarians care? In answer to the first question, yes, most participants tend to come from the public library world. The short answer to the second question is that it is in our interest as academic librarians to let our legislators hear our voices. A longer answer is provided below.
There are several good reasons why legislators need to hear from us in the academic library world. For one thing, many of our interests overlap with the public library constituency. However, there is a shocking level of ignorance found in at least some of our Representatives and Senators about how their actions can have either favorable or deleterious effects on higher education in general and library services in particular. A lot of legislators, federal or on the state or more local level, really do not understand that slashing education-related budget appropriations hurts academic and school libraries which in turn hurts the quality of education of our students which, ultimately, hurts our society and makes us less competitive on a global level. I don't want to sound too reductive and equate the value of higher education solely with professional or vocational success but sometimes the practical, monetary and social implications of library-related budget cuts need to be spelled out in such a way for the legislator to understand the consequences of his or her vote.
Many of you might think, "I'm no lobbyist. I have no aptitude or desire to approach my Congressperson and, basically, ask for money." The good news is that, no, you are not expected to do actual lobbying. No political connections or great rhetorical skills are needed. Typically, your encounter with the Congressperson, or more likely, his/her office staff member, is brief – perhaps around 10 minutes or so – and, in my own experience, it has been of a cordial nature. Legislators are busy people but they do pay attention to their constituents, especially if contact is made in person as can be done during National Library Legislative Day.
What this day is about is advocacy, not lobbying. This means briefly and clearly explaining to the legislator (or his/her office staff member) why certain bills or appropriations are important to academic librarians and also to the social and economic well-being of the legislators' home state. You are definitely NOT expected to provide favors, take the legislator out golfing, etc.! You do not need to know all the minutiae of a particular bill although it certainly would not hurt to indicate that you at least have a good understanding of a bill's implications for the academic library world and thus to the social and economic well-being of the legislator's home state. If your legislator is already on board and supportive, this would certainly be a good occasion to thank him/her in order to encourage continued support.
Participants in National Library Legislative Day are briefed and provided with some basic orientation by ALA Washington Office staff, so you want to be prepared to address perhaps no more than two or three at most basic points when you visit the legislators' offices. Having one or more specific anecdotes to relate to the legislator concerning the effects of funding (or lack of it) can also be helpful. The ALA Washington Office has some very helpful ways of keeping you informed about federal legislation and how it relates to libraries. Take a look at the ALA Advocacy & Legislation page at http://www.ala.org/advocacy/advleg and also the ALA Legislative Action Center at http://capwiz.com/ala/home/ for very helpful information and tools you can use anytime, not just in connection to NLLD, to contact legislators to express your concern or support as the case may be. Finally, I strongly encourage you to sign up for an e-mail subscription to the District Dispatch at http://capwiz.com/ala/mlm/signup/ . This is a great way to stay informed.
So far, I have directly participated in only one National Library Legislative Day but it was a very rewarding experience. In May 2008 I was part of a tiny delegation of librarians from the state of Alabama. I was the only academic librarian. We visited the Washington offices of all seven Representatives and two Senators from Alabama that day. Each meeting was a rather pleasant, almost conversational experience. The three of us in the Alabama delegation each spoke for about five minutes on a single separate issue. Generally, the legislator or his/her staff member listened, so there weren't many questions to answer. I concisely explained why legislation pertaining to the National Agricultural Library was important to higher education, especially in Alabama. Coming from a large land-grant state university with a major College of Agriculture and with connections to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Extension Service, I was able to concretely demonstrate to the legislators why maintaining full funding for the NAL was a very good idea.
Even in this age of fiscal strain and the posturing of some legislators against the evils of Big Government, getting through directly to such a legislator or his/her office staff with your advocacy on behalf of academic libraries is important and worthwhile. Contacting legislators by letter, telephone call, or e-mail message is worthy and helpful, but an in-person visit is even more effective.
I hope you will consider taking part in National Library Legislative Day on April 23-24, 2012.

I'm betting there will be a lot of talk about poet Maya Angelou's take on the new Martin Luther King Jr. memorial inscriptions. What do you think? Is it an error or an unfortunate edit? Cast your vote.
E pluribus unum: The metropolitan region's population is now predominantly minority, a new analysis of census data shows. The same is true in Maryland's Montgomery, Prince George's and Charles counties, and in Virginia's Prince William County.
Huge news in Alexandria: The old Mirant power plant may be shut down in a mere 13 months.
Nats news: Pitching phenom Stephen Strasburg will be back on the mound for the Washington Nationals Sept. 6 . Even without him, the Nats won last night on the strength of Livan Hernandez's iron arm, and with no fewer than FOUR homers.
A meme in the making: Dashboard dining. And we are most definitely not talking about fast food.
Who knows what news the day will bring? We know you'll find it on PostLocal, so don't be out of step.

Dragon's Crown brings more of Vanillaware's beautiful animation this summer
Few games are as beautiful as Vanillaware's, which feature colorful 2D sprite-work that moves and "breathes" onscreen.
The developer's highly anticipated next title, Dragon's Crown, is arriving this summer for PlayStation 3 and PS Vita. Publisher Atlus announced the news today. The side-scrolling action game enables four-player co-op multiplayer locally through drop-in or the adhoc network. Cross-platform play is not a supported feature, however.
Players can choose from six characters: the Fighter, the Dwarf, the Amazon, the Wizard, the Elf, and the Sorceress. Each possesses a special skill or strength. The Sorceress, for example, uses ice magic and can summon skeletons to assist in battle. In addition, skills trees provide ways for players to improve health and abilities.
Dragon's Crown will cost $49.99 for PS3 and $39.99 for PS Vita. Vanillaware previously released titles such as Odin Sphere, Muramasa: The Demon Blade (which is coming to PS Vita as Muramasa Rebirth), and Grand Knights History.

J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot and the boys of "Lost" gave it a shot, but in the end discovered they couldn't do it, so they've given the rights for Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" series back to the horror writer. And that's the opening the boys at Imagine Entertainment needed, with Ron Howard, Brian Grazer and Akiva Goldsman now approaching King about grabbing the rights to the property and turning it into a movie before expanding the franchise onto TV land as an ongoing series.
The idea is for Goldsman to write the script and Howard to direct, with the film released through Universal. There are no deals in place for the Imagine buckaroos to take over yet, but if King really wants to get this thing made into a movie (or two, or possibly three ala "The Lord of the Rings" franchise), he'll sign on because Howard could definitely get this thing made with an excellent budget, something it'd need to fully adapt the vast stories King has laid out.
"The Dark Tower" follows Roland, a mythical gunslinger who pursues The Man in Black through a fantasy wasteland toward the titular Dark Tower. There have been seven novels, one short story, and a comic book series from Marvel Comics so far. Unlike a lot of King's other works, "The Dark Tower" actually features appearances by other characters from King's other stories, and was originally envisioned by King back when he was a teen lad as his "King-ish" take on the spaghetti Westerns.

Braza Response: Hi Tiffany. We recommend using these applications tips. Prior to applying, do not use any soaps with oil or moisturizers, and dry skin thoroughly after rinsing. Do not use powders, moisturizers, oils or fragrances anywhere near the breast area prior to applying any adhesive bras.
Tiffany from Los Angeles CA
Braza Bra Response:Silicone is not really meant to be worn if you are going to be doing a lot of perspiring. I would suggest trying to use another style of ours that might work best. It is the Braza Reveal Light Self Adhesive Cups 7810. Also if the cup is not large enough you might want to try sizing up and see if that helps.
Sonya from Iron mt
HerRoom Response: It's important that you not have body lotion on, and that your skin be clean before putting this bra on.

Hi all, I'll show here my build for Anubis in mid lane. Very effective if you know your god, and you know the match-ups.
I'll try to detail here the main aspects of Anubis as I play him, you can judge and comment but keep in mind that I'm not trying to be pro or pretending that this is absolutely right. It's just my way to destruction.
This section will try to help you to understand which item to pick, depending on the Mid lane match-up.
Against Anubis :
Everything will depend on his build. If you feel good with it, you can start with the Doom Orb and play very safely for about the 10 first minutes of the game.
I suggest you to pick the Book of Toth, the Rod of Tahuti and the Bancroft's Talon.
Build magical protection (with the Void Stone for example) isn't a good idea because of Anubis' passive. The enemy god will steal your Magical Protection with his abilities, that's why you have to be quite passive in the beginning but aggressive as soon as your Magical Power gets significantly higher than your opponent's
Against He Bo :
Picking the Doom Orb isn't a bad idea, but risky because He Bo is very mobile with his River and his ult, and he's able to control your movement with his geyser.
I suggest you Boots of Magi in first item, and then the Void Stone, which will prevent taking too much damage from harassment.
Against Agni :
Not much to fear here, Agni is really squishy too. I suggest you Doom Orb -> Boots of the Magi -> Void Stone -> Book of Toth
Against Ao Kuang :
You may want to pick Bancroft's talon to have some Magical Lifesteal, cause Ao's tornadoes are a real plague.
Against Anhur :
Standard build, there's no point in build Physical Defense cause Anhur will build Executioner
Against Hel :
You're pretty free to do what you want here, Hel became less hyperactive since the last patch
Against Ra :
Be careful with the Doom Orb here if you pick it, cause Ra kills the minions waves more quickly than you do and you can't really engage him if you're not sure to one-shot him. A Ra building tanky is a real plague, you can start with Spear of the Magus to prevent this build. After the boots, pick Void Stone and then Obsidian Shard if you need it.
Against Zeus :
You're pretty safe against Zeus until he starts to up his 1 ability, which will add more "bounces" to his Lightning Chain. So build MOAR DAMAGE ! Doom Orb -> Boots of the Magi -> Book of Toth
Against Kali :
RUN ! Kali is the worst enemy you can get in middle lane. Switch with someone if you can. If you can't, remember not to expand because Kali can trigger her ult, and you can't stun her during the 5 most painful seconds of your life.
Against Artemis :
I've rarely met Artemis in middle lane in the past few weeks, just remember to pick Purification Beads to escape his Boar + Trap combo.
Let's analyze the skills.
- 1 : Plague of Locusts
Very powerful spell if you manage to cast it for its whole length. At level 1, you can kill a whole minion wave with this one spell. But you'll have to put yourself in a dangerous, exposed position, and you don't want to pick this one first.
- 2 : Mummify
A snare in a straight line. Be careful ! It's not instant so you'll have to anticipate your opponent's direction. That's why I want you to be very aware of his pattern of movement as soon as the game begins. You'll have to consider the dashes / jumps / speed buffs so that you won't be surprised. It can be helpful to run away, and a trick that I like is to run backwards and fire the bandage when your opponent is out of range but runs right into it.
Focus increases this ability's duration from 1.5s to 2.5s
- 3 : Grasping hands
The most powerful spell. Deals a huge amount of damage and slows the enemies. You can use it to slow your enemies to run away, you can use it to catch up a fleeing enemy, and its AoE will help you in many other ways.
For example,when mid laning with Anubis, you may want to kill minions with Grasping hands, landing it just before the first melee minion walks through it. I always try to put Grasping hands down not exactly in the middle of the lane, but close to a wall where the enemy god is, so that he'll have either to take the damage + be slowed if he wants to attack me, or to get around the minions and the spot of the hands, which gives you at least 1 precious second.
- 4 : Death Gaze
So powerful ultimate, but it a double-edged sword. It deals a huge amount of damage every 0.3 second for 3 seconds, but it's also hard to make profit of it. If your opponent is not stunned or uses Purification Beads, I suggest you to interrupt the ult by right-clicking and run away if he's too aggressive.
Death Gaze can be a good way to finish a fleeing enemy because it has the longest range of Anubis' toolbox
First ability to pick : Grasping Hands
In the first mid laning phase, you may want to kill minions with Grasping hands, landing it just before the first melee minion walks through it. Then, auto attack the first and second minion wave. I always try to put Grasping hands down not exactly in the middle of the lane, but close to a wall where the enemy god is, so that he'll have either to take the damage + be slowed if he wants to attack me, or to get around the minions and the spot of the hands, which gives you at least 1 precious second.
Level 2, I suggest to pick Plague of Locusts.
If you feel comfortable in your match-up (i.e not aggressive opponent, short / mid-ranged god), you can kill a whole minion wave with it, but this implies taking the risk of standing just new to the wall, which is something you don't really want against Anhur for example. In the same time, be sure you don't aggro the minions by hitting the enemy god.
Level 3, pick your Mummify. This is the first window where you may take the first risk : try to engage your opponent OUT OF HIS TOWER'S RANGE ofc. You have to Mummify him and instantly put your Grasping Hands down, and your Plague of Locusts. Try to kill as many minions as possible with this combo, because you'll be naked during the cooldowns. The best option is to wait for your opponent to trigger one of his damaging abilities to start your combo, so you can run without taking too much damage and eventually have your minions to finish him if he counters.
Don't hesitate to drink 1 health potion before initiating if you're not full HP and you want to kill him.
/!\ This attack is not meant to kill the enemy, but to scare him /!\
When your ultimate is ready, go in for the kill ! Best combo (after a failed initiation from the opponent or after he uses a damaging ability to kill minions) is Mummify + instant Grasping Hands (it's perfect if you land it down with your opponent on the border of the circle so that he'll take more damage when he'll get out of the stun) and Death Gaze. Try to keep your enemy in the gaze until the last drop if you don't fear a counter attack
If you killed the enemy god, finish the minion wave, and [VCB] Return to base ! to finish your Doom Orb (+ eventually start your Boots of the Magi)
If you didn't and you both are alive, the health + mana potions will help you to stay in the lane, and you want to stay longer than your opponent.
If you're dead, don't dramatize it, don't lose confidence.Just analyze where the engagement turn into his favor and not yours : too much enemy minions ? Too close to them ? Enemy god with all abilities ready ?
Then, farm minions and try to "harass" your opponent with Grasping Hands put down on the side of the lane. Keep in mind that you have now to one-shot your opponent, and you'll have to have 20-25 stacks at least to drop your ultimate combo.
But be careful ! With the focus system, your opponent in only stunned for 1.5s, and you'll have to deal all the damage in 2 seconds (stun + time where the enemy god panics)
I know that that mid game can be very inconstant. But I'll try to explain here the different states of mind to be in.
This is generally the time where you have to pick the Purification Beads and Aegis Amulet to survive against combos or ganks.
- If you died more than 2 times, be very passive and stay under the tower to farm minions. Be careful about enemy harassment, and go pick the neutral Furies on your side to gain stacks.
- If you're fed by your oppponent, go gank the side lanes ! The timing that I love is to engage the enemy just after a stun from my team's Ymir for example. You can stay hidden in the jungle, attempt to appear from behind them (be careful about minion aggro though) or just run into them if the 2 laners follow. If your Mummify lands on the enemy, 3vs1 and it's done.
Then, make sure you warn your teammates [VSTB] I'm returning Middle Lane ! and go either straight to mid, or go back to base and shop before it.
- If neither you or your opponent takes an advantage, continue to farm minions, raise your stack number higher and higher and be careful about ganks, because dying makes you lose all your work on the Doom Orb.
Go for the Red Buff as soon as you can, you can also bait your opponent : go hide in the Red Buff's ring with your stun ready and make Death rain ![/list]
In late game, you'll want to build Magical Penetration against Heavy Anti-Magical Tanks.
The best Magical Penetration item in late game is the Obsidian Shard of course.
With your huge amount of mana from the Book of Toth + Lifesteal from Bancroft's Talon, you can push for a really long time, but when most towers are down, don't go alone.
Never go too forth in the lanes, even if you can easily replace your Doom Orb's stacks, you'll wait a long time before each respawn because of your high level.
You can sell your Doom Orb in order to get the Gem of Isolation for example, or even Hide of the Leviathan if you like to get less CC
Keep in mind that if the enemy team has a permanent jungler, you'll be exposed to frequent ganks.
Things you SHOULD NOT do in mid lane with an enemy in the jungle :
Anubis and Ymir really mess up against the enemy. 2 stuns, 3 slows and Ymir's wall => the enemy goes to the grave by himself.
With Ares, a good grab can get you a penta kill : don't hesitate to stay back and land your Grapsing Hands down and your ult as soon as the enemies are pulled under Ares.
With Arachne : same as Ares, but you can only drop your Grasping Hands + Plague of Locusts because Arachne will manage the opponent in melee range
With Odin : be careful, I don't think that your ult goes through the Ring of Spears, but you can land your Grasping Hands without any problem
In conclusion, you control here one of the most powerful gods in 1vs1, but be more clever than your opponent and engage in the best conditions for you. Fight near your teammates, don't hang out alone in the jungle for too long, and make sure you won't be caught by the whole enemy team in late game.
Anubis is not meant to kill Towers or Phoenixes, leave this to carry ADs. He's meant to destroy and control the way the team fight goes.
I hope you enjoyed this guide, please uprate me and let me know if you found any mistakes. I apologize for my English, I know it's not perfect but I'm working on it !

558 Tasting Notes
Finishing up the sample from Ashmanra with lots of leaf in my teapot and a wee bit of honey in my cup. Seeing how it will compare to my experience with Cranberry Autumn and honey.
Honey makes it a bit more mellow, I think I like it more bold. No honey next cup. I think I will be ordering this next Harney order. Will alternate with Cranberry autumn. Both are delicious in their own way. I like the bake notes and almond nuttiness in this tea. Yum. I am falling in love with Harney teas!
Would you say this is a little toned down to Cranberry Autumn? Even though I love CA, it's a little too strong on the palate sometimes.
Ahhh…deliciously smooth, a light hint of ripe pear with a bit of a floral pear blossom note with a sweet honey undertone. The main taste is of a quality black tea…maybe a ceylon or darjeeling? I wish it were more specific as the type of leaf.
These leaves steeped the lightest colored brew I've ever drank, at least for a green tea. I love the lightness of this tea. The flavor is light and sweet and the lightest hint of sweetness to it. I hope to try others of this type down the road. Quite the enjoyable cup.
Thanks to ashmanra I received a sample of this to try. I decided to have this as an alternative to the cranberry autumn this morning. This is a very fragrant cup. I love the nutty almond scent and sweet and tart cranberries. I will have to pick up a tin of this next order. I have a feeling I shouldn't sample too many more of Harney's black teas as I have liked all the flavored ones I have tried as of yet, and I can't fit that many tasty teas in my cupboard. I like the briskness of the black tea bases and the realness of the fruits and flavorings. They do tea well!
Thanks Jaime for sending me the wonderful art of tea samplers. This is one of the many (I lost count of what number out of how many I was on). I am enjoying the floral notes mixed with the rooibos. I think I would enjoy something like this more if it was a green rooibos as it doesn't have the wet fermented wood taste, but it's slowly growing on me. The floral notes are a nice change from the berry and vanilla and chocolate rooibosi I've sipped on lately. I can enjoy this cup, but can't see it being in my cupboard, I just don't care for red rooibos enough.
Another sample De-cupboarded this morning:) Finally went back to some of my Golden Moon samples from the sampler I purchased 8 months ago. Have 8 or 10 different samples to knock off my list.
I really like this Earl. It is a lightly sweet Earl, with a upstanding Bergamot flavor. The flavoring isn't perfumey, it's nice and citrusy floraly sweet. Not as sweet as the vanilla and cream earls, but lightly sweet, not bitter or tannic. This may be my favorite Earl as of today. I'm so happy I tried this tea today!
I should have read other users tasting notes before trying this, but I was intrigued by this as it is an "herbal" tisane and not a flavored black tea. I don't know how they made it taste like gingerbread, but it does. It just tastes like what's at the bottom of your cup of tea after your ginger snaps have gotten soggy and disintegrated after dipping them in your tea. I don't really know how else to explain it. I took a few sips but it is thick as mud and has cooled down too much. Maybe this will be added to my english breakfast tea 2:1 to see if they pair well for a spicy sweet cup….hrm…not my cup of tea without tweaking.

The Best TV Marathons To Watch This Fourth Of July Weekend
Happy 4th of July weekend, Amurrica! Everyone celebrates being an American in their own way, so if for you that involves firing up the grill and watching fireworks, then that's cool. But if you'd rather spend the holiday weekend partaking in America's favorite pastime — watching TV — you should be allowed to do that too. And lucky for you there are plenty of options this weekend.
TV networks are airing marathons of shows and movies all over the place the next few days, so you never have to leave the house. We rounded up some of the most promising marathons on the schedule so you can take a gander and settle in for some binge-watching. Or, if you still want to do that whole "socializing and going outside" thing, you can set your DVR and watch the episodes later. And if none of these marathons appeal to you, there's always your trusty friend Netflix.
All times here are Eastern.
1. The Walking Dead on AMC – All weekend, starting at 9 AM Friday
What better way to celebrate America's birthday than to watch people kill a bunch of zombies all weekend? If that sounds like an awesome plan to you, then luckily AMC is airing the entire series of The Walking Dead so far, concluding with a season five preview special Sunday night at 9 PM.
2. The Twilight Zone on Syfy – Friday, 8 AM to 8 PM
Syfy is known for their Twilight Zone marathons on New Year's, and this year they're giving you a chance to watch it on Independence Day too. Go get your black and white creepiness on. For America.
3. Sex and the City on E! – Friday, 2 PM to midnight
I couldn't help but wonder if I'd ever be able to get up off the couch after I started watching Sex and the City on July 4th. E!'s airing episodes of the show followed by the movie, so you can have a super fashionable holiday.
4. John Adams on HBO 2 – Friday, 11 AM to 8 PM
Paul Giamatti starred as founding father and second president John Adams in this miniseries from 2008. You can watch it all day today, if you're into celebrating the founding of your country by watching stuff about the founding of your country. Weird.
5. America the Story of Us on History – Friday, 7 AM to 7 PM
Speaking of history and stuff, the channel devoted to it is taking a break from aliens and pawn shops today to actually tell you about America's past. Just for today, though, I'm sure.
6. Masters of Sex on Showtime – Friday and Saturday, 6 PM to midnight
If you missed the first season of this show starring Lizzy Caplan and Michael Sheen, you can catch up all night. Allllll night. Wink wink.
7. Patriotic Movies on TCM – Friday, All Day
You can always count on TCM for a great themed classic movie marathon, and today is no exception. They're showing movies like Yankee Doodle Dandy (4:15 PM) and Sergeant York (8 PM). I suggest watching or recording 1776 at 1:30 PM, if you like the two M's — musicals and Merica.
8. Kids and Counting on TLC – Friday, 6 AM to 8 PM
They started with 17 kids and now they're up to 19. Watch the marathon, learn all the Duggars' names, and feel really bad about yourself at the end of the day. What could be more American than that?
9. Awkward on MTV – Friday, 11:34 AM to 6 PM
If you're feeling a little awkward not having anything fun to do for July 4th weekend, then it's the perfect time to watch a TV marathon themed around that emotion.
10. Batman on IFC – All weekend, off and on
I'm not talking about the Batman movies. You won't be watching The Dark Knight. I'm talking about the original series from the 1960s. You know you won't be able to resist watching at least one episode.
11. Star Trek: The Next Generation on BBC America – All weekend, off and on
Even the network devoted to feeding Americans' obsession with all things British is airing a marathon to celebrate Independence Day. So go ahead and spend your weekend with Patrick Stewart.
12. Will & Grace on WeTV – Saturday, 10 AM to 8 PM
Nothing like a little comfort food in the form of a canceled sitcom.
13. Heroes on G4 – Saturday, 11 AM to 4 PM
Save the cheerleader, save the world. Save yourself from being bored by watching this marathon.
14. Ray Donovan on Showtime – Sunday, 12 PM to midnight
Yet another first-season show, this one starring Liev Schreiber, that you can catch up on this weekend. Everyone will be so impressed with your taste in cable shows when you go back to work Monday.
15. I Love the 2000s on VH1 – Sunday, 12:40 PM to 11 PM
I can't be the only one who's seen these I Love the… episodes at least three times each. And I'm probably going to enjoy them a fourth time when this marathon airs.

Sega announced Sonic Boom—"a new branch" of the Sonic the Hedgehog universe consisting of video games, a CG animated television series, and line of toys—during a press event in New York City today.
The sub-series gives the entire Sonic gang a makeover. Tails is sporting goggles, a wrench, and a handy toolbag; Knuckles has been going to the gym; Sonic has a scarf; and Amy is downright seductive (in one shot, at least).
The Sonic Boom video game is coming to Wii U and 3DS as the third game part of Nintendo's exclusive Sonic deal. Big Red Button Entertainment, formed in 2008 by two ex-Naughty Dog employees, is handling the Wii U version and Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time developer Sanzaru Games is doing the 3DS version. Both are being developed in collaboration with Sonic Team.
Sonic Boom will offer a "totally different" experience than previous games. It will have the traditional elements of previous Sonic games, like speed, but add add exploration, combat, and a new "Enerbeam tether" mechanic that 'allows the world to be discovered in totally unique ways.'
The television series, co-produced by Sega of America and OuiDO! Productions, will debut on Cartoon Network in the United States, and on Canal J and Gulli in France during the winter 2014 / 2015 season. It is an "ensemble comedy" consisting of 52 x 11-minute standalone episodes, each starting from a small character-driven story to "an epic tale of saving the world, robot battles, and more."
Finally, the Sonic Boom toy line will be handled by TOMY. It will "showcase the new character looks, stressing interaction between core characters, and will feature new play patterns based on both the new game and TV series." Its range includes plush toys, action figures, RC, role play, vehicles, and novelty.
"We want to ensure that the Sonic brand continues to evolve and appeal to new generations of Sonic fans and this different look introduces a fresh approach that will be at once both familiar and new to consumers," said Sega of America president and COO John Cheng. "We are committed to supporting this initiative to provide great entertainment to fans for all aspects of their lives."

Yawning is contagious. If you see someone doing it, you're likely to feel a strong urge to do it, too. Some social scientists have speculated that this tendency to mimic a yawn is tied to empathy and our ability to connect with other people.
A new study indicates we're not born with this trait; it develops over time during the first few years of life. The researchers at the University of Connecticut found that most children aren't susceptible to contagious yawning until they're 4. What's more, young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are less likely to imitate yawning than other kids the same age.
ASD includes a range of conditions that impair communication and social interaction. The diminished tendency to engage in a contagious yawn suggests autistic kids "may miss subtle cues that tie them emotionally to others," the researchers write in the journal Child Development. They said their study may provide guidance for approaches to working with these children so they focus more on such cues.

Letter: IDAs have no authority to give away our money
IDAs have no authority to give away our money
Again we are presented with a controversial Erie County Industrial Development Agency project – Uniland and Delaware North. IDAs exist outside of any constitutional authority. They do not act as required by the Constitution as a republican form of government. Article I, Section 7 provides that raising revenue is to be the responsibility of elected representatives. The 14th Amendment requires equal protection of the law. Selective tax considerations hardly meet that objective.
IDA board members are put in place by legislative appointments based on business/political connections. Once in place they operate independently. Elected legislators relinquish all control. The result is that IDAs have become dictatorships. Voting board members are rarely publicly identified.
Duly enacted tax laws of a county, city, town or school board cannot individually be overcome by a non-elected body. The way around that situation is to convert private property to public property. One system relies on a lease/lease back to the business operator. Property taxes are replaced by payment-in-lieu-of-taxes, a percentage of normal tax. Sales taxes on materials and mortgage taxes are subject to elimination.
For each approved IDA project, the agency will bill the client business generally a 1 percent fee, based on the value of the project. There is no public accounting of how these monies are used. Strangely, no organization that has been publicly critical of IDA operations has seen fit to court challenge state statutes that are well beyond constitutional provisions.

In Greek mythology, Aphrodite is the goddess of beauty and love, and she's often depicted nude with voluptuous curves and come-hither eyes. It makes sense, then, that she gets a little extra attention come the second week of February. This year, the goddess even has her own namesake cocktail at Wynn's Parasol Up & Down bars.
On the menu from February 10-14, the Aphrodite ($18) by master mixologist Patricia Richards does everything a Valentine's Day cocktail should do. Champagne lends the drink a flirty presence, while Absolut Raspberri and organic raspberry syrup add just a hint of fruit, and a rim of dried raspberry and sugar finishes things off on a sweet note. It's dangerously easy drinking, and as Richards puts it, "all about feeling good." Which is exactly how we should all be feeling come February 14.
4 oz. Perrier Jouët Grand
Brut Champagne
.5 oz. Absolut Raspberri vodka
.5 oz. Flavorganics organic raspberry syrup (available at Whole Foods)
1 raspberry
Dried raspberries
Extra fine sugar
Method: Pulverize the dried raspberries in a food processor with sugar to taste. Rim a champagne flute with a thin rim of the raspberry/sugar mixture (the color should be dark pink). Build cocktail, by first pouring the vodka, then the syrup and finishing with the champagne. Garnish with one fresh raspberry.
With world-class dining, shopping, spas, golf and entertainment, there's no shortage of things to do at Wynn. The resort's aquatic acrobatic show, "Le Reve—The Dream," a creation by Cirque Du Soleil veteran Franco Dragone and Steve Wynn, will leave guests wanting more with its breathtaking performances that conjure an imaginary world. The Wynn Esplanade offers a unique shopping experience with stores including Chanel, Manolo Blahnik, Christian Dior, Oscar de la Renta and many more. Tryst is its signature nightclub, offering a secluded lagoon inside the club and spacious dance floor. Blush, the Wynn's ultra lounge, draws swanky party-goers. Tryst, Wynn's signature nightclub, is situated along a private lagoon under a 90-foot waterfall and plays host to some of the world's most renown DJs.

Reliance Industries (RIL) is likely to post 30.8 percent year-on-year jump in its Q4 net profit to Rs 5540 crore. Revenues will also climb 7.6 percent to Rs 91,673 crore YoY, according to CNBC-TV8 poll.
Moneycontrol Bureau
Reliance Industries (RIL) is likely to post 30.8 percent year-on-year (YoY) jump in its Q4 net profit to Rs 5540 crore. Revenues will also climb 7.6 percent to Rs 91,673 crore YoY, according to CNBC-TV8 poll.
RIL will post Q4 and FY13 numbers on April 16. Read This: RIL could touch Rs 800 after Q4 results: Tulsian
Analysts on an average expect RIL to post over 25 percent YoY growth in gross refining margins (GRMs) to USD 9.6/bbl. GRM is the difference between the cost of refining crude oil and the price at which the end product is sold.
Brokerages also expect marginal recovery in the company's petchem segment driven by strong margins across products in both the olefin and polyester chains.
However, exploration and production (E&P) segment will continue to be a drag due to declining output from its flagship project in KG-D6 basin. The company has in the past shut around nine wells due to water and sand ingress affecting production.
Here a snapshot of what each brokerage expects of RIL in Q4
BRICS expects RIL's Q4 PAT to grow 23.6 percent YoY to Rs 5236.5 crore. Revenues may increase 6 percent YoY to Rs 90318 crore. The firm expects 25 percent YoY growth in GRMs at USD 9.5/bbl. KG-D6 output will further dip to 18 million standard cubic metres per day (mmscmd.)
Nomura expects RIL's net profit to grow 30 percent YoY to RS 5520 crore. GRMs are likely to be robust at around USD 10/bbl. E&P segment will show further decline, it said.
IIFL expected RIL's Q4 profit to rise 31 percent YoY to Rs 5535 crore on improved refining margins and slight recovery in petchem segment, while KG-D6 output will continue to disappoint. Sales will also grow 12 percent YoY to Rs 95584.2 crore, expects the brokerage.
Prabhudas Lilladher expects RIL's March quarter PAT to grow 31 percent YoY to Rs 5560 crore. Sales are also likely to rise 10 percent to Rs 93622 crore. GRMs for the quarter is expected to be around 10/bbl.
Antique Broking expects RIL's Q4 profit to be around Rs 5500 crore, (almost flat quarter-on-quarter) Higher GRMs at 9.8/bbl will be offset by lower KG-D6 output.

Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
London Telegraph
February 29, 2012
Premier Enda Kenny said Dublin was acting on legal advice from Ireland's attorney-general that "on balance" the fiscal compact requires a vote under the country's constitution. "It gives the Irish people the opportunity to reaffirm Ireland's commitment to membership of the euro," he told ashen-faced members of the Dail.
All three major parties back the treaty but analysts say there is a high risk of rejection by angry voters in the current fractious mood. The compact gives the EU intrusive powers to police the budgets of debtor states, and has been denounced as feudal bondage by Sinn Fein and Ireland's vociferous eurosceptics. The Irish voted "No" to both the Nice and Lisbon treaties before being made to vote again. Dublin has ruled out a second vote this time.
The Taoiseach's announcement sent the euro into sharp dive against the dollar, though it rebounded later. Europe's leaders thought they had tweaked the wording of the text just enough to avoid an Irish vote.
Ireland cannot stop the process since a quorum of 12 states brings the treaty into force, but it would be politically untenable to create a new eurozone structure that left one member in limbo.

Tampa Bay Rays' 2013 season in review
Record: 92-71, 2nd place in the American League East
After missing the playoffs last season, the Tampa Bay Rays made a return to October in their eighth campaign under manager Joe Maddon. The 92 victories marked the fourth consecutive season in which they won at least 90 games, a notable feat for a franchise that used to be one of baseball's weakest.
In July, when they went a major league best 21-5, the Rays looked capable of winning the American League East and completing a long playoff run. A September slump kept them from catching the Boston Red Sox in the division. But they won nine of 11 games to close the regular season, including a victory over the Texas Rangers in the AL wild-card tiebreaker, to reach the Division Series.
This team included the emergence of Alex Cobb and Matt Moore as strong, young rotation members, as well as Alex Torres proving to be an impressive middle reliever. The promotion of hyped prospect Wil Myers provided a burst, and James Loney complemented Evan Longoria throughout the year to provide production.
Let's take a closer look at the 2013 Rays:
MVP: Evan Longoria. There's little surprise with this choice. He led the Rays in homers (32) and RBI (88) in the regular season and added one homer and three RBI in the AL Division Series.
MVP runner-up: James Loney. A consistent offensive presence throughout the year, he led the Rays in batting average (.299) and finished second in RBI (75) in the regular season. He hit .417 with two RBI in the AL Division Series.
Most shocking moment I: David Price's Twitter rant after his loss to Boston in Game 2 of the AL Division Series was unfortunate. Credit him for apologizing, though.
Most shocking moment II: Detroit Tigers right-hander Rick Porcello plunked Ben Zobrist on June 30 — likely in retaliation for Fernando Rodney brushing back Miguel Cabrera the night before. Porcello was later suspended six games.
Most surprising performance: Yunel Escobar. He owned a .089 batting average after play April 16, but he steadily improved at the plate and provided a defensive spark with his skilled play at shortstop.
Game of the Year: This one's easy. The 5-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles in 18 innings at Tropicana Field on Sept. 20 became a lift the Rays needed. They don't make the playoffs without this win.
The good — Longoria was the Rays' most reliable offensive threat. He played 160 games, and without him, they don't reach the playoffs. There's a reason he's the face of the franchise. It's as simple as that.
Loney was a pleasant surprise. His final regular-season batting average was the highest it had been since he posted a .331 with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2007. He and Longoria were dangerous most of the year.
The bad — Luke Scott's role became diminished after mid-August. He played 91 games, five fewer than in his debut season with the Rays last year. He never appeared in the postseason.
It was difficult to watch Matt Joyce toward the end. He hit .235 with 18 homers and 47 RBI. He hit .089 in September, and he was 0 for 8 in the ALDS.
Overall, the Rays lacked the depth to overtake the Red Sox for the AL East title and beat them in the ALDS. Tampa Bay only mustered 12 runs against Boston in the series.
The good — Alex Cobb emerged as the Rays' most reliable starter by the end. He won five of six decisions in the regular season after returning Aug. 15 from a mild concussion, which kept him out two months. The right-hander came up big in the AL wild-card game, limiting the Cleveland Indians to no runs and eight hits in 6 2/3 innings.
Matt Moore was a bright spot. He finished 17-4 with a 3.29 ERA in 27 regular-season starts. He was named to his first All-Star team in July, a deserving honor given his consistency, especially in the season's first half.
After a rough start to the season, David Price looked stronger than ever following his return in July from a strained left triceps. He went 5-1 with a 1.68 ERA in six appearances that month. He finished 10-8 with a 3.33 ERA in the regular season.
The bad — The Roberto Hernandez experiment didn't go as well as the Rays had hoped. He was the weak link in the rotation for much of the year until he was moved to the bullpen in September. He went 6-13 with a 4.89 ERA in the regular season, and he never appeared in the playoffs.
What happened to Jeremy Hellickson? He left spring training holding the second spot in the Rays' rotation, but he went 12-10 with a 5.17 ERA in the regular season. He was demoted to the minors for a short time in late August. He lost seven of his last nine decisions dating back to July 31, and he received a quick hook (after facing six batters) in the Rays' ALDS Game 4 loss to the Red Sox.
Rookies Review
Wil Myers showed hints of becoming a star in the majors for years to come. He hit .293 with 13 home runs and 53 RBI in the regular season after his promotion in June, though he cooled in the playoffs by going 2 for 20 with seven strikeouts. Parting with James Shields in the blockbuster offseason trade was difficult, but Myers has big upside.
Chris Archer had some high moments after entering the rotation in June. He went 9-7 with a 3.22 ERA, with his best month happening in July, when he went 4-0 with a 0.73 ERA in five starts. With more experience, he could be a dependable rotation member for many seasons ahead.
Alex Torres established himself as a dependable middle reliever after he stayed in the majors for good starting in June. He had a 1.71 ERA in 58 innings, which spanned over 39 appearances.
Free Agents
Price isn't eligible for free agency until after the 2015 season, but it will be curious to see if the Rays choose to place the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner on the trade block in the offseason. Outside of Price, Loney will be an interesting name to watch, as will veteran reliever Jamey Wright and closer Fernando Rodney. Price, however, will command most of the attention.
Final Analysis
This season included many twists, from the Rays' hot July to hanging on for their postseason lives in late September. They went about as far as they could, considering they ran into the deep Red Sox when they did. Myers, Archer, Cobb and Moore are among a core group of young players that give Tampa Bay reason to anticipate the future.

B-Day Steak in Vegas Search
Junior Burger
2005/06/11 07:58:42
I'm having my birthday dinner in Vegas this year and wanted to get it right. Not interested in Ruth's Chris. They brag about only seasoning with salt and pepper, so what's with the butter bath? I believe I've narrowed it down to two choices for the finest prime cut. Morton's or Charlie Palmers. Anyone been to both to give a clear winner in the thickest, most tender and flavorful piece?
Thanks for any feedback.

Whole Foods (WFM[1]) has voluntarily recalled Crave Brothers' Les Freres brand cheeses following a bacterial contamination that has led to at least one fatality, AP reports[2].
Public health official suspect that the cheese, which was sold in 30 states and the District of Columbia, was tainted with Listeria monocytogene, the bacteria responsible for the listeriosis infection. So far, the cheese has been implicated in the death of one elderly Minnesota resident and the hospitalization of another in June, as well as the illness of an Illinois resident in May.
According to CNN[3], infected animals rarely exhibit symptoms and can transfer the bacteria to their dairy products. Furthermore, the bacteria can thrive in a factory environment for years and is not easily killed by refrigeration.
Particularly at risk from the disease are the very old and very young, as well as pregnant mothers and people with compromised immune systems. In healthy people, symptoms resemble those of the flu.
Whole Foods is notifying customers about the recall via signs posted in their stores and is encouraging anyone who has purchased Les Freres, Petit Frere, and Petit Frere with Truffles made on or before July 1 to discard the cheeses. Customers who bring receipts for those products to a Whole Foods location are entitled to a full refund.

Nigel Butterley
BiographyNigel Henry Cockburn Butterley (born 13 May 1935) is an Australian composer and pianist.
Butterley learnt to play the piano at the age of five. He attended Sydney Grammar School, but as music wasn't taught at the school at that time, he also sought training from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. He then travelled abroad and spent a year in Europe. He studied with Priaulx Rainier in London.
After returning to Australia he composed his work Laudes in 1963. He won the Prix Italia for his work In the Head the Fire in 1966. In 1967 he was the inaugural winner of the Albert H. Maggs Composition Award. He continued to compose through the proceeding decades, composing works for the Sydney Proms concerts such as Interaction for Artist and Orchestra, music performed while artist John Peart painted and First Day Covers, a collaboration with Barry Humphries' character Dame Edna Everage . Butterley went onto win the Paul Lowin Orchestral Prize in 2001.
Butterley's compositions are strongly influenced by poetry, and are sometimes accompanied by recitation when performed. He composed a series of pieces inspired by the poetry of William Blake, and in more recent times has appreciated the work of Kathleen Raine.
He lectured at the Newcastle Conservatorium from 1973 to 1991, and later at the Sydney Conservatorium. He has also broadcast programs on ABC Classic FM.
On 10 June 1991 Nigel Butterley was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM), "in recognition of services to music".
In 2007 the Sydney Chamber Choir commissioned a new work Beni Avshalom, which was completed almost fifty years after Butterley's frequently performed landmark choral work The True Samaritan.
