Amazing how quickly this season has been screaming past us, for Labor Day is just around the corner and before we can blink, the postseason will be begging our attention.
For now, many of us are trying to make the postseason in our own leagues, or just hanging playing daily games (which is easier on the emotions), or god forbid, prepping for football season. (OK, I am too, in fact check around the site for our coverage of the #MockDraftArmy's weekly forays coordinated by @rotobuzzguy, Howard Bender.)
In the meantime, it is the stretch run and maybe it is time to take a serious look at Carlos Beltran as an add in shallow leagues (should he still be out there) and even as a play in DFS. Over the past three weeks, the Yankees outfielder is hitting .322-5-10, bringing his season totals to .272-13-44. The Yanks are in it, Beltran will get some rest, but he is hot, and again, for daily game purposes, he is a switch-hitter.
Similarly, Marlon Byrd, now of the Giants, is really a perfect fit for that team, helping keep the outfield producing on a team that has indeed been productive at the dish. Byrd has a career line of .277-17-105 over the month of September, and as often happens when a player is sent to a new team--especially a contender--the flychaser has come out of the blocks hot with his new team, hitting .333-1-2 over his first two games with San Francisco. Again, in shallow leagues, Byrd's .239-20-44 totals thus far might have meant a trip to the free agent pool.
The Metropolitans have been doing well with acquiring pitchers, and left-hander Dario Alvarez, a 26-year-old Dominican who has whiffed 404 batters over 343.3 innings, is a good example. Although he was roughed up his first appearance, Alvarez could be just the kind of quiet stabilizer in a league where you need to fill a slot, but risk very little. Before his call-up, Alvarez, originally signed by the Phils, had whiffed 36% of the hitters he faced between Double-A and Triple-A this season, and though he will probably just work in situations right now, keep an eye on this kid.
Across town, an American League version of Alvarez is the Yankees' Branden Pinder, drafted in the 16th round in 2011 out of Cal State Long Beach, who has saved 35 and whiffed 250 over 248 innings and 158 games. Like Alvarez, if your league is tight and you need to fill a spot and pick up some frames and whiffs and maybe even stumble into a win or save, Pinder is a nice quiet gamble.
The Rangers drafted hurler Jerad Eickhoff in the 15th round of the 2011 draft and for Texas he twirled until this past July when the big (6'4", 240 pounds) right-hander was swapped to the Phillies as part of the Cole Hamels deal. Eickhoff improved as he climbed the minor league chain, posting his best overall strikeout-per-innings rate this year at 4.67, putting together a 12-5, 3.85 season over 133.3 minor league innings (126 strikeouts, 1.1185 WHIP). Eickhoff then hurled a fine first Major League start, going six innings, whiffing five while walking just one for his first win. He makes a nice crapshoot in a deep National League format down the stretch.
Yet another member of the 2011 draft to watch is Travis Shaw of the Red Sox, a corner infielder whose minor league totals (.261-69-280 over 581 games) seem to belie the amazing .351-6-13 start over his first 26 games at Fenway. Shaw is big (also 6'4", 225) and he hits left-handed, but I would be surprised if he can keep it up.
Before we leave, a couple of hot hitters this past week have been Nick Castellanos and Wilmer Flores. Castellanos hit .474-2-9 this past week and has raised his season totals to .246-13-60. Over the past month, he has hit .299-2-10 with an .886 OPS. As the season winds down, his numbers could get a bit of a surge as September call-ups loom and the third sacker gets to face some weaker pitchers.
Similarly, Flores has had a hot month, hitting .324-2-9 while raising his season line to .262-12-49. Flores was .429-1-5 last week, and he is getting the hang of everyday play in the Majors too, and just like Castellanos, could feed on late-season new and tired arms.
I like both going into 2016.
DFS Watch: OK, Mastersball is dedicated to covering the fun market of Daily Games. In fact, you know we play FantasyScore and participate in the FanDuel Tout Wars contest (you play against all the Touts every Tuesday at the Tout Wars Challenge), so let's add to our daily MastersDaily coverage and simply pick a couple of series/games/starts this week that look good.
Pitchers to Watch: I am thinking Chris Archer could have a fun time against the Twins this week, facing a team with just a .249 average against right-handers, with just a .304 +OBA and 92 +RC.
Hitters to Watch: On the other hand, the Cubs might strike out more than any other team, but facing Matt Cain won't be as daunting. Cain has just 6.6 whiffs per nine, the lowest number of his career, and he has allowed nine homers over 47.3 innings. I have a feeling some of Chicago's young sluggers are going to have fun with that. Take your pick!

How to Start a Party at the Polls
You can do this while you're waiting in line yourself, you can come back after you've voted, or you can go to other polling places in your area where you hear there are long lines. Here are some ways you can make the wait easier and more fun for voters:
- Bring water, food, snacks. A lot of people might not have realized how long they'd have to wait. A little food and water can help give people the energy they need to power through. Cook something the night before, buy some bottled water to share. Healthy snacks are good, but you can also use the opportunity to get rid of extra Halloween candy.
- Bring some folding chairs. Some people may need a break from standing; you can give them somewhere to sit.
- Rain? Bring umbrellas, ponchos, plastic bags. Help people stay dry.
- Tell jokes, juggle, provide some other kind of entertainment. Are you a comedian, dancer, or street performer of some kind? Put on a show! Make sure it's family-friendly.
- Play some music or bring a boombox. Play an instrument? Bring it to the polls and play some songs. Bring a boombox. Take requests. Avoid music that might be offensive or abrasive to some people. Keep in mind that not everyone may like your music, so pay attention to how people are reacting; you don't want to drive anyone away.
- Be prepared to cover up campaign t-shirts, buttons, etc. Some places have rules against campaigning within 100 feet of the polls. Wearing a t-shirt or button can be considered a form of campaigning, so if you're wearing gear from a particular candidate, be prepared to cover it up or change into different clothes if someone asks you to.
- Above all, have fun, and spread it around. Help everyone out, not just people supporting your candidate. This is about making sure everyone has the right to vote. Voters disagree on many issues, but we should all be able to agree that participation in our democracy is an exciting thing. Help bring a festive spirit to the polling place.

With every season, comes a myriad of high-street trends that can leave a Scottish Bitch utterly baffled. No matter the seductive promises Fashion Week kindly delivers twice a year, there's always guaranteed to be a resulting fad that can leave one questioning, "have birds actually pecked your eyes out?" Presenting: Trends I'd Like to See Die – the SS2016 edition.
Ripped Jeans
Maybe it's just me, but when I buy a brand new pair of jeans, I often look for a pair that's intact. The ripped jeans trend is a direct descendant of the 90's grunge revival and plays into the "unkempt" and "messy" vibes sought out by nostalgia hunters.
Whilst I can understand the appeal, I'm at a loss for why individuals are choosing to spend anywhere between £30-£150 on jeans with slashed knees as opposed to whipping out the old DIY scissors to revive an unloved pair from the back of the wardrobe.
I'll be the first to admit – I'd already bought my statement suede biker at the end of 2014, with foresight to the 2015 70's trend. Suede is good – it's a texture that's been missing from our runways for quite a while now. I had naively hoped that it would be limited to just that – statement pieces.
However, as 2015 progressed, it was with horrific realisation that high street brands had done it once again – and taken what could have been wonderful and applied it to every known item of clothing, from button up shirts, to even suede t-shirts, the trend had infected every corner of high-street stores, often in excessive fringe form.
If there's ever been a time to make the case to append the phrase "fashion has no limits" to "fashion has no limits – within reason", it's now. It's just suede for the sake of suede.
Sheer Fabric
The sheer trend reared it's ugly head quite a number of seasons ago – which led to high-street retailers taking the movement as a cue to begin producing collections by the polyester boat load. Of course, nobody can blame retailers for attempting to keep profit margins high, but I'm calling time on this cheap, nasty fabric.
In fact, I'm so repulsed by this trend, my actual body has began to reject the cheaper of the fabrics, throwing up hives after a day's wearing. As far as trends I'd like to see die in 2016, anything that invokes an allergy is at the top of my list. Thankfully, after observing the SS2016 collections filtering their way into mainstream stores over the past few months, it seems that sheer is at the end of it's days – with other fabrics (suede) taking the limelight.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm as partial to a good slogan tee as the next person, however, where I draw the line is at the micro-culture of "Bae." You know the types I'm talking about – the social media driven "hashtag-out-your-nut" numbers that create the perception that a wardrobe is but a walking smartphone. Asides from the fact, it's undeniably tacky as hell and limited by the lifespan of what's dubbed en vogue by social media influencers, I also feel there's quite a disconnect between the brands producing these t-shirts and their market base.
To me, these types of slogans do nothing but create a rather shallow persona – I like to think women are articulate enough to express their independence far more eloquently than having "NOT YOUR BAE" slapped across the chest.
The "My Little Pony" trend is still in full force, and whilst I can absolutely get behind beautiful pastel toned hair in lilac and rose gold, I can't help but be a little bemused the "glitter" mania that continues to reign within the fashion industry.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with a bit of glitter during the festive period but when towards the latter half of 2015, the two hipster trends of facial hair and sparkle mated together, the birth of the glitter beard proved to be just too much for me. It's a bizarre trend and as to why any grown adult would wish to aspire to resemble a Christmas decoration is beyond me, but each to their own.
That being said, I do have to give an honorable mention to the glitter jobby. I have to respect any individual who has the audacity to exploit a trend, profit from it and quite literally take a dump on it too.
Trends I'd Like to See Die – SS16
Keeping a beady eye on the trends beginning to emerge on the high street, I'm feeling fairly optimistic about the upcoming SS16 season. The promise of the reworked classics such as the white shirt have stirred the rumblings of hunger from deep within my belly. As far predicting what the new "suede"is going to be, I'm hedging my bets on a hardcore structured denim revolution.
What trends would you like to see die in 2016? Think we're wrong about a trend? Tell us why and share with us in the comments!


text: @ srida Don't be impress by paper figures of power of brio. I request you to check rpm at which max.torque of brio generates. I am not sure but definately it may be beyond 4000 rpm. OMG such at a high rpm Max.Torque of punto is available at 2500 rpm. Means great drivability & less gear changes.In 1.2 punto you don't have to press too much throttle to get potencial from it. In addition to that I think girls are also in need of precise steering,class leading ride & handling,road stability & most important safety. If all these positive points are present in punto then why others light-weighted korean & japanese brands? 1.2 FIRE engine is punchier than honda.

We have a few ladies that have emailed me directly to take part, so come join in the fun, the more the merrier!
Let the swapping begin.

Wheatgrass juice consumption is on the up, which is hardly surprising. It's a complete food, you can grow your own organic crop in your back garden or even on a window sill and most people feel better and more energised after their very first shot. Mother Nature has got a self-seller on her hands! Here are some machines that we feel particularly suit juicing the green super-juice as well as other leafy greens. If you'd like to find out more about wheat grass read our blog.
All these juicers are selected for their ability to effectively juice wheat grass, a high fibre juicing favourite, these juicers also make sense if you are looking to juice other high fibre or 'stringy' produce, for example celery.
At the top of the tree is the Angel Twin Gear Juicer this juicer remains the highest yielding juicing machine on the planet, a title that it has held for over 10 years. The super precise monster gears in this massive juicer crush wheat grass so effectively it is hard to beat! Monster size and price though, so be sure it's right for you! A beautiful juice extractor almost entirely made from stainless steel.
The Omega VSJ Vertical Slow Juicer is a vertical slow juicer that will do a good job on wheat grass and on other more typical produce. When juicing wheat grass in a vertical slow juicer, be sure to read our blog post on the best way to 'drive' the juicer. Some vert or upright juicers can struggle and block up with high fibre juicing like wheat grass or celery so make sure the extractor you select can handle it!
The Omega Sana single auger juicer is a really classy product from the Omega stable. Amazing build quality and about as refined and advanced as the horizontal single auger juicer can be. Top level take on the horizontal layout single auger juicer. The horizontal layout juicer doesn't have the gravity assisted feeding of the vertical slow juicer, but it does have an advantage in that it ejects the pulp out of the front of the juicer in an uninterrupted straight line. This is what makes the horizontal style juicer a good bet for juicing high-fibre produce.
The Juiceproducer KT2200 vertical slow juicer is here because it is a super precise vertical slow juicer able to juice wheat grass well. The simple trick to use when juicing wheat grass in a vertical slow juicer is to mix the produce up. A handful of wheat grass followed by half a carrot will keep the juicer happy and give it something to 'chew' on, keeping the juicing and pulp ejecting smooth. You can read our blog post on getting the best from your vertical or upright juice extractor here!
The Omega 8000 series juicers were Omega's top horizontal single auger juicer before the Sana range appeared. They are still a top performing single auger wheat grass juicer just without the pizzazz of the Sana range. Super precise and super neat the horizontal style juice extractor can seem somewhat over shadowed by the rise of the vertical or upright juicer. However, for hard core health juicing of celery, wheat grass, leafy greens, root vegetables and more the horizontal single auger machine will just work and keep on ejecting the rough, tough pulp easily!
The Matstone 6 in 1 juicer is the go to wheat grass juicer for many juice bars and cafes rock solid performance, simple to use and clean and with economical spares and parts. You can see Matstone 6 in 1 masticating juicers working all over the country, churning out wheat grass shots all day long as the healthy juice bar revolution continues. The Matstone juicer is a firm favourite of ours, a great looking stylish juicer that delivers great performance at a great price. A great all round juicer.
Wheat grass is an incredibly nutritious juice to drink. It is a whole food, that means on it's own wheat grass has a broad enough range of nutrients to sustain life. Juicing wheat grass effectively takes a special type of juicer the machine needs to be tough, precise and able to eject the rough pulp easily.
Growing your own wheat grass can be incredibly satisfying but do not underestimate the level of effort and technology that goes into growing highly nutritious wheat grass. Most professional wheat grass growers are using elaborate hydroponic systems that ensure all possible nutrients and elements are available in the solution for uptake by the plant.
We used to grow our own wheat grass here at Juice producer but eventually we realised that if the soil or growing medium doesn't have the nutrients in it, neither will the plant. After years of trying we eventually conceded that top quality wheat grass growing is probably better off in the hands of the professionals! We now grow leafy greens like kale at home as they are less demanding to grow!
If you need any help choosing a juicing machine then please contact us here at Juice Producer.

Commissioners Visit Scenic Lake Towhee Park for Annual Picnic & County Business Session New Justice Center "Making Great Progress"
For the first time since July, 2008, the Board of Bucks County Commissioners visited Haycock Township and Lake Towhee County Park for its annual picnic meeting. With the placid waters of Lake Towhee – home to the clay used to make tiles at the famed Moravian Pottery and Tileworks – in the distance, Chairman Robert G. Loughery, Vice Chairman Charles H. Martin and Diane M. Ellis-Marseglia, LCSW approved 31 contract resolutions for 14 county departments.
Among those resolutions was a pair of general contracting change orders with Ernest Bock & Sons, Inc. for the new Bucks County Justice Center, which is about to take on a much different look with the erection of structural steel. The change orders involved an $84,022 contract amendment to provide lean concrete fill and a $53,522 amendment for unforeseen required work on the existing armory structure. Commissioner Marseglia voted against both change orders.
In keeping with a series of Justice Center updates, county General Services Director Jerry Anderson noted that the project is "making great progress," and the construction process will shortly begin to come "out of the ground." On or about July 23, a 176-foot tower crane will arrive on site. It will feature a 190-foot boom that will help place approximately 33,000 pieces of structural steel. Residents will be advised of the crane's extensive reach in advance. The steel, which will be transported to the site from a manufacturing site in Bensalem Township, will travel the Pennsylvania Turnpike and up Rte. 611 to the bypass and up Broad St. Mr. Anderson also noted that significant structural progress will be evident by late December, 2012 at the Main St. location.
Commissioner Loughery thanked the General Services department for its work preparing Lake Towhee for the meeting, which was conducted beneath a 40-by-60-foot tent. The board unanimously approved a $60,000 Municipal Open Space Improvement Grant for Silverdale Borough to make outdoor recreation improvements to W. Albert Reese Park. Borough Mayor Lowell Musselman thanked the commissioners and county Open Space Coordinator Kris Kern for their action, which will allow ADA compliant equipment as well as other upgrades.
For Parks & Recreation, the board unanimously approved a 10-percent discount to veterans holding a Bucks County Veterans ID Card for select county-owned parks and recreation activities. Since November, 2011, county Recorder of Deeds Joseph Szafran and his staff have process nearly 5,000 of the Discount Cards, which are honored at several hundred Bucks County businesses. Chairman Loughery also thanked Commissioner Martin for bringing the Veterans ID Discount Card idea to Bucks County, after he learned of a similar program in Atlantic County, NJ.
The commissioners also approved the request of the Travis Manion Foundation to erect a "Memorial to America's Resiliency" on the grounds of the new Bucks County Justice Center, in honor of those who died in the War on Terror. The memorial will involve a design competition to determine the most appropriate use of a 20-foot beam from the former World Trade Center that was donated to the Travis Manion Foundation during 2011. Chairman Loughery will be the commissioners' representative in that endeavor.
While the board adopted all 31 resolutions on the agenda, Commissioner Marseglia voted against a $3,720 accident insurance premium for the Finance Department and a $55,500 contract amendment to fund expansion of the Supported Living program to provide additional residential services with CO-MANS, Inc. of Penndel.
Chief Operating Officer Brian Hessenthaler noted that county departments are currently analyzing the impact of the recently passed Pennsylvania state budget. He added that the county's 2013 budget process will begin during August. It typically is finalized by the second December business meeting. Chief Clerk Lynn Bush touted the success of the county's new electronic waste collection, which is earning the county money rather than the previous fees that went to dispose of the electronics. A recent event earned the county $12,000, which represents a $32,000 swing from past years when the county paid up to $20,000 for disposal. The next collection will take place on Saturday, July 14, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Almshouse complex (1260 Almshouse Rd., Doylestown, adjacent to Rte. 611).
Chairman Loughery also announced that Bucks County Government now has a Facebook page, and he encouraged all county residents to "like" the page in order to readily access information about emergencies, meetings, consumer protection matters and all forms of commissioners' business. A link to the county Facebook page can be found on the home page of www.BucksCounty.org.
The next meeting of the Board of Bucks County Commissioners will take place at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, July 25, 2012, at the Woods Services' E. Sherman Chase Employee Training Center, 40 Martin Gross Drive, Langhorne. For a complete audio account of the July 11 meeting, please visit the official county website, www.BucksCounty.org, and click on the "Audio from Last Mtg" link on the home page.

My friend Jonathan wrote a blog article called Is Your Integrity For Sale?. Jonathan's article discussed an example where he had an opportunity to make a windfall for being dishonest. Fortunately for him and us, he declined. I want to expand on this topic a little because there is a much more common currency than money by which many of us sell our integrity. That currency is the approval of others.
I think we all, to one degree or another and at one time or another, are tempted to sell out part of our authentic self in return for the approval of others. I've always tried very hard not to do this, and in my real non-virtual day-to-day world, I've been pretty successful at it. Whether or not I'm as successful at being my authentic self in my online world is a question that still nags at me sometimes.
I published the article Don't Fake Yourself Into Failure and Unhappiness when my blog was very young, and it remains one of my all time favorites. I think it is a favorite because it represents such a deeply held value for me. Please take a couple of moments to read the article. It is fairly short.
"If you sell yourself out to get approval, you will miss what you really want: authenticity, passion, and aliveness." — Alan Cohen
Are your actions intended to please your own soul or are they intended to win the approval of others? Selling your soul for approval is every bit as bad and maybe even worse than selling your soul for money. Don't fall into that trap. It will never be worth it in the long run.

So, RC1 will include the following new features for you…
HTML extractionThings have been made easier for those wishing to migrate an HTML site to ocPortal. Previously, ocPortal HTML pages were supposed to be "HTML fragments". In other words, parts of HTML pages.
Now ocPortal can detect when the pages aren't HTML fragments, and provide some clever extraction:
- Meta description and keywords, and the page title, are used by the ocPortal SEO framework for the page
- CSS and Javascript is placed in the appropriate position in ocPortal's output
- Hyperlinks to local HTML files are changed into ocPortal URLs. For example, a link "examples/foo.html" would become "http://mybaseurl/examples/index.php?page=foo.
- Any links to other local files are changed so that they are read out of the uploads/website_specific directory.. so you don't need to leave them messily in an ocPortal zone directory
- The page body is extracted and used for the ocPortal page
It could never be perfect, but it should really speed up converting an HTML site. Especially, if it's a frame-based site, as the HTML pages won't then contain extraneous menu markup to be removed.
Non-moderator mark unreadPeople have asked to be able to mark OCF topics unread for people who've read them when they edit their posts. Previously this was only possible for moderators, but now anyone can do it.
Topic amend when post button missingQuite a few people on our forum have noticed that the post button disappears if they're the last poster in a topic. Or more accurately, they've noticed the post button disappearing and didn't realise why. This was obviously a major usability issue as no interface feedback was given, so we've put an 'amend last post' button in its place that links to the edit screen for the previous post. I think this was Pete's idea, so thanks for that .
Anti-spamOur own site has been targetted by guest spam persistently recently, so it was definitely time to lock this down. We've extended and improved the 'captcha' image code used when you join (the thing where you enter some numbers shown in an image) so that guests need to do it whenever they post.
It is also used on comment topics, when contacting a member, when reporting a post, and when starting a topic.

This was my fourth visit to Sin Lee, despite its rather inconvenient location. I've blogged about my previous experiences in this post. I re-visited Sin Lee because I realized that they had several new items on their menu. True to their promise, their new creations were well.. Pretty damn unique. Here's their menu which may look virtually unchanged. There are only 2 changes here, that are, the addition of Mackamore ($20) and the Mentaiko Crab Mantou ($21). We went for the latter because I don't like fish. Mentaiko Crab Mantou ($21). Seriously, you got to check this combination out. Between the perfectly fried golden mantou, lies a seasoned, breaded whole soft shell crab, served together with housemade MENTAIKO cream, and of course a side of papadum chips. MENTAIKO SAUCE? Count me in!
THe eggy thing you see is the mentaiko dip. The taste of mentaiko may be prominent in the initial bites, however, it wears off after a while, and loses its effect on this dish. Nevertheless, the soft shell crab was still perfectly breaded, and this combination amazed us by how well it's being put together. A personal opinion though, try to eat the soft shell crab and mantou together with the chili! It's not THAT spicy, but it definitely elevates its taste!
I especially loved how Sin Lee served this with the Papadum side, instead of the mainstream fries or tater tots. Creativity knows no bounds.
I really wished I didn't have to share this dish!
Their other new item is on the dessert menu, that is, this Croissant and Butter Pudding ($14).
All of us are familiar with bread pudding, but a croissant pudding? Mmm! I'm a huge fan of croissants, that's why! This consisted of Butter Croissant, Vanilla Beans, Assorted Fruits, served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and finished with a drizzle of salted caramel sauce.
Frankly, I thought there was not much of a difference using croissant or bread in this dish. However, we loved how Sin Lee made all the ingredients work together in its favor. A mixture of berries and banana contributed to the addictive sweetness, while the salted caramel made the dish better by balancing it with its savoriness. If you love anything with berry compote, I thought this dish tasted exactly like it! Besides, I also enjoyed the hot-cold mixture of this dish. However, the only ingredient lacking in this dish was its ice cream, which was not only a messy scoop, but also tasted to us.. a little commercial. A pretty good dessert to share though!
Sin Lee has never failed to impress me with their innovation and the spot on combination of their ingredients. Thought has clearly been put in, in coming up with these dishes and I guess what pleases any diner most, is food that has been prepared from the heart, and I think Sin Lee has managed to do just that.
As usual, I got to give my favorite Aburi broccoli dish a shout-out! THE.BEST.EVER.DISH.EVER. A couple asked us about this dish as it was being served to us, and I had to practice so much self control from ordering one bowl just for them.
You know an establishment is pretty damn capable if they are able to make something so simple taste so good.
But I still stand by my opinion that some of these foods are a little too overpriced for their own good!

Sunday night's appearance by slide guitar phenom, Sonny Landreth, was a special treat for fans of his blues stylings. He played several wonderful selections from his most recent release, Bound By The Blues. This album of blues covers is Sonny's tip of the hat to the genre that got him interested in music and, in particular, slide guitar. Honorary on-stage mentions at the lively show included Robert Johnson, Skip James, Elmore James and Son House. Most notably acknowledged was the recently deceased Johnny Winter, for whom Landreth composed the track Firebird Blues. The songs is featured on Bound By The Blues and was performed for Vancouver fans at this show. Sonny and Johnny had a long history of sharing performance venues and recording studios and were considered by one another to be dear friends. Firebird Blues is in direct reference to Winters' long-standing use of a Gibson Firebird as his preferred instrument.
Fans of Sonny Landreth's more progressive stylings were not to be disappointed on this night either. Favorite inclusions were the amazing Uberesso and the equally impressive Pedal to Metal. This material is where Landreth and his band really elevate their skill sets to an elite level. Drummer Brian Brignac excels at complementing Sonny in a most unusual but befitting way from behind the kit. He incorporates rolling, syncopated rhythms and all-out double bass drum endings while remaining in context with the flavor of the song at hand. Bassist David Ranson may very well know Sonny better than anyone out there. Ranson has been accompanying Sonny's six strings with his own four since the two were teenagers. While Dave Ranson does not display much in the way of flashy persona, he thumps out thunderous bottom end without fail.
Some of you may recall Sonny Landreth's last visit to Vancouver. He played at the short-lived Electric Owl club on Main Street as part of an event celebrating all things slide guitar. The evening was hosted by local slide wiz Steve Dawson and, although the name of the bassist escapes me, drums and percussion were handled by the incomparable Pat Steward of West Coast music fame. Although that show was entertaining, it felt a little contrived in that the musicians that had gathered for the event were unfamiliar with each other's intricacies and nuances. Nothing glaring, just a bit left of center…
However, Sunday's performance was one to remember with Sonny Landreth supported by his own touring band.
Opening the show was local blues journeyman Wailin' Al Walker. I had never had the pleasure of seeing Al perform and I was truly impressed with the performance of him and his band. I personally gravitate toward a grittier, Texas-style blues and these guys pegged it for me. A great choice to open the show for Sonny Landreth's Bound By The Blues!!

Wheatland, MO- (July 27th, 2014)- Hot temps and hot action on the track were the themes of the night this past Saturday, July 26th as Kerry Davis, Jeremy Kelley, Kris Jackson, and David Hendrix all visited RACEceiver Victory Lane on US 97 Ozarks Food Harvest Food Drive Night at Lucas Oil Speedway.
After track officials did a little minor prep work on the 3/8th mile dirt oval during the intermission, the Carson's Corner Napa Auto Parts Factory Stocks were the first class to hit the grid for their main event. Once again, "The Buckhorn Bullet" David Hendrix held off a bevy of challengers to score yet another feature win at Lucas Oil Speedway in 2014. Chip Shaddox put up a valiant effort charging from his sixth starting spot but came up short at the end to finish in the second spot. Camdenton's Kenny Carroll also worked his way forward after starting in the eighth spot to finish in third. Mark Carter and Randy Gilmore rounded out the top-5 in fourth and fifth respectively.
Next up were the Tri-Lakes RV USRA B-Mods as 2-time and defending champion Kris Jackson started on the pole with 14-year old Andy Bryant to his outside. Bryant took command early to lead the majority of the 20-lap main but Jackson proved that it was still his house as Bryant changed his line late and Jackson motored by to take the win after a late race caution. Wheatland's Mike Striegel continued his string of third place finishes. Springfield Raceway regular Ryan Gilmore made a rare appearance in Wheatland and charged from his 12th starting spot to finish in fourth. Nevada, Missouri's Dustin Campbell started sixth and finish in fifth. J.C. Morton, also making a rare appearance in Wheatland, started 11th on the grid and was challenging for the lead after a late race caution but spun out going for the lead ultimately finishing in the 16th spot.
Jeremy Kelley topped the ALPS Food Store ULMA Late Model field as the former track champion utilized the extreme bottom groove of the race track to score the win after starting all the way back in the 12th spot. Kelley also earned an extra $100 from Keyser Manufacturing as the Keyser Hard Charger of the Race. Ethan Young debuted a former Jesse Stovall Victory Circle Chassis and led a good portion of the event but ultimately settled for second at the finish. Larry Ferris made a return visit to the speedway after taking a couple of weeks off to finish in the third position in the final rundown. Rounding out the top-5 were veterans Larry Jones and Tommy Cordray. 18th starting Harlen Kennedy was the recipient of the AR Bodies $50 product certificate as he lined up shotgun on the field.
The featured class of the evening was the Pitts Homes USRA Modifieds and it was easily the event of the night as Parkville, Missouri's Kerry Davis beat Tim Setzer by a mere three feet at the AAA Finish Line to take the $750 win presented by ProtectTheHarvest.com. Setzer debuted a new Phoenix Chassis and utilized his favorite top groove to chase down race long leader Davis as Davis used the traction on the bottom groove. It appeared as if Setzer may eke out the win after leading several laps late in the race but the saavy veteran Davis had other ideas and stood victorious in the winner's circle. Jeff Cutshaw rallied from his 12th starting spot to finish in third with Jason Russell and Chase Domer scored in the fourth and fifth position in the final rundown.

Celtrixa Scam – Unfounded Allegations That are Rapidly Fading Off
Celtrixa scam rumors are making the rounds online for some time now. It is important that the real facts behind these rumors be revealed so that customers know the true picture. Women who have used the product for a long time now are perplexed that such scam rumors should circulate about a product that is indeed the best way to fight stretch marks.
• Celtrixa scam is definitely not a reflection on its performance as Celtrixa reviews would sometimes tell you. A simple logistics issue has been projected as one of deliberate cheating by those with vested interests. Real users of Celtrixa, however, are aware of the true value of the product and not deterred by these absurd rumors. Celtrixa is an advanced formulation that reduces the visible appearance of stretch marks. The presence of scientific ingredients helps in lessening the look of fine lines and patches that appear in 90 percent of women primarily after pregnancy.Treatment Options Galore, But None as Effective as Celtrixa
There are numerous treatment options available including invasive forms of treatment such as laser therapy, dermabrasion and plastic surgery. Plastic surgeons have tried other forms of treatment that combine harsh glycolic acid peels and other chemical ingredients but results are not all that encouraging. The safety of some chemicals used in many stretch mark creams have not been truly established during clinical tests which makes them unsafe for long term use.
Celtrixa scam rumors do not take into consideration the fact that this stretch mark cream, unlike other products, is specially formulated using a proprietary blend of powerful ingredients. These ingredients help reduce the appearance of stretch marks remarkably. The ingredients are designed to make the stretch marks seem less obvious by softening the skin and smoothing the skin tone. The product is extremely popular among women because it gives them an option to diminish the appearance of marks without suffering the embarrassment, pain and prohibitive costs of treatment such as laser or surgery.
You will be delighted with the improvement Celtrixa brings to your skin. The advanced ingredients, skin brighteners and moisturizing agents work in tandem to ensure that the gorgeous looks and suppleness of the skin is restored. The rich formula attacks at the core of the problem from its very first application. The active complex present in Celtrixa is specially formulated to prevent new stretch marks from showing up on the skin.
• Scam Rumors are Slowly Biting the Dust
If the purpose of the rumor mongers was to dent the popularity of the product by painting it as Celtrixa scam, the effort has clearly fallen flat on its face. The popularity of Celtrixa continues to grow unabated with thousands of men and women using it every day to treat stretch marks conveniently and affordably. The primary ingredient Regu®-Stretch keeps the skin protected by keeping it hydrated and supple. It visibly reduces the length, width and color of stretch marks. Celtrixa also contains O.D.A. White™, a brightening agent that visibly brightens the skin after just two weeks of application.
Celtrixa has emerged as the most reliable stretch mark lotion because of its ability to deliver visible results in minimizing appearance of stretch marks.
Jeff - About Author:
Celtrixa scam has turned out to be a complete non-issue. More and more women and men are turning to Celtrixa according to Celtrixa reviews because it helps them overcome the embarrassment caused by stretch marks in the most convenient and affordable manner.

- Gila Forest employee found dead alongside his horse
6/10/2014 | Online Article
U.S. Forest Service officials on Tuesday (6/10) confirmed the death of a Gila National Forest employee whose body was found Sunday morning (6/7) next to his dead horse along a trail in the national forest.
John Kavchar, 64, a resident of Silver City, was riding out from the Signal Peak tower after his lookout shift ended about 7 p.m. Saturday (6/7). It was believed that he had gone for a horseback ride before returning to a trailer he stayed in while working in the forest, said Gila National Forest supervisor Kelly Russell. (more at link...)
- Gila National Forest Signal Peak lookout John Kavchar remembered on Friday; Gila National Forest Signal Peak lookout died in accident June 7
6/29/20124 | Online Article
It was a perfect evening to celebrate the rich life of John Kavchar, and an ideal place to do it – in a campground under the tall pines of the Gila National Forest. Kavchar, a lookout for the U.S. Forest Service, died on June 7 when his horse fell down a steep slope in the ashy terrain of the Signal Peak Fire where he had manned his station and discovered the fire. More than a hundred friends gathered Friday evening to eat, drink and remember him.
At 62, Kavchar had lived a number of places around the West, and pursued an array of occupations. At the time of his death, he was part owner of an aviation business at the Las Cruces airport while holding down a full-time job as a lookout.
Frank Merritt, a recent friend, recalled that, "John enjoyed transportation: whether it was airplanes, motorcycles, cars. He was into motion. But yet he spent a lot of time by himself, and was able to make the most of it."
There were a dozen members of the Gila Forest fire crew in attendance, in black T-shirts: Leo Trujillo, Jesse Searles, Arnold Lopez, Patrick Garcia, and Keith Mathes among them. They all commented on what a good lookout Kavchar was. "He picked it up really fast," Trujillo said. (more at the link...)
- Memorial Potluck Gathering: About a hundred people gathered to celebrate John's life on Friday, at 5 PM, 6/29 at the Walnut Campground in the tall trees on the Gila National Forest. It was was organized by John's fiancé, Teresa Beall. John's late wife, Miquette Magnusson, had also been a Signal Peak lookout.

Anyone who operates a Honda knows that when it comes to repairing their vehicle only the absolute best replacement parts will do. Auto enthusiasts appreciate the a variety of features and options built into each Honda, and know that only top quality repair Fit parts will suffice when repairs are needed. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class compared to all the other vehicles in today's marketplace. It's not all the time that you realize that you have to buy a replacement PCV Valve for your vehicle.
Achieving maximum fuel efficiency while reducing emissions on your car or truck depends on the quality and performance of the parts you use. No engine is 100% efficient, and each one (even the one on your Honda Fit) needs a system to control positive crankcase ventilation with a working PCV valve. Almost always mounted above your cylinder head in the valve cover, your Honda Fit PCV valve captures and re-routes exhaust blow-by from the combustion process and sends it back through the intake. This is much better than simply venting it into the atmosphere, which is what all engines did before they were equipped with a positive crankcase ventilation valve.
Get your Fit back on the road with the best new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Ordering new Honda parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement Fit parts on the internet. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Honda Fit PCV Valve for your 2017, 2015, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 model.

In his speech Thursday to the Republican convention, can President Bush do better with the American people than John Kerry did in Boston? The answer may turn on how aggressively the president addresses the senator's signature economic charge — that Bush budget deficits have saddled the government with crushing debt.
Handled assertively and self-confidently, this debt issue can seal the election for the president. The key: addressing the total federal debt problem, not just the small part on which Kerry has focused.
Kerry is obsessed with the roughly $4 trillion of federal bonds in public hands — which is normally referred to as "the federal debt." But this level of government bonding is not out of line with historical norms, including norms in very prosperous times.
Since 1965, publicly held debt has averaged 31.1 percent of gross domestic product (the low was 18.3 percent in 1974; the high, 44.4 percent in 1993). This year, working from government projections, it will be around 32 percent — hardly a catastrophe. And its drop from the 1993 peak to 28 percent of GDP eight years later shows that, with a little less spending and a little more economic growth, it can quickly plummet (even, conceivably, to levels that might create problems for the capital markets, where U.S. government bonds play a vital role in sophisticated portfolio strategies).
But the nation has a real debt problem — a major and potentially crushing one. It turns on what Washington is committed to spending in the future on Social Security and (especially) Medicare, beyond what the taxes dedicated to those programs are expected to bring in.
A 2003 study from the American Enterprise Institute translated the unfunded liabilities of Medicare and Social Security into easy-to-understand terms. What, the authors asked, is the present-value equivalent in bonded debt not covered by current reserves or taxes of the government's future obligations under Social Security and Medicare? Their answer: $7 trillion for Social Security; $36.6 trillion for Medicare.
That's more than 10 times the size of "the federal debt."
These numbers have risen from zero in the mid '60s; now they vastly exceed any gap that can be closed with traditional spending cuts or quick-fix tax hikes, whether on the rich or anyone else. They will require entirely new strategies — strategies that Kerry has vowed to oppose and Bush has already explicitly (if timidly) embraced.
In this year's State of the Union Address, the president mentioned personal accounts for Social Security and Medicare only in passing. But internal White House pulse polls reportedly registered a dramatic spike of approval for each. Touching these issues was once deemed "the third rail of American politics" — but now putting more of these two funds under the control of those who pay for and will benefit from them registers as a plus with a majority of voters.
Such reforms could substantially reduce the overhanging obligations in each program. The reason? Both suffer at least in part from a problem endemic to almost all of government: astonishingly poor productivity.
A 2001 study for the National Center for Policy Analysis covered the prior 128 years. It found that, despite big ups and downs, the average rate of return on diversified stock portfolios for any 35-year period was 6.4 percent and never below 2.7 percent. Today, according to NCPA, most young people entering the labor market can expect Social Security to deliver a rate of return below 2 percent.
A recent survey of the heath-care industry by Harvard Business School professor Regina Herzlinger told a similar tale: From 1978 to 2001 the third-party and government-dominated health-care sector has seen its productivity drop 24 percent. In the same period, productivity in the entire non-farm economy grew 42 percent.
For both Social Security and Medicare, increasing the productivity of dollars invested simply to the levels of the private economy could solve the unfunded liability problem, or reduce it to where other measures would be capable of solving it.
So this is the bold move by which President Bush could fix our true debt problem: Move Social Security and Medicare away from their current 1930s, productivity-trap model and into the 21st century. Following most of the U.S. economy and most of the modern world, make these funds more consumer-driven and consumer-controlled.
Does President Bush have the political daring to redefine the debt issue and turn it to his favor? If he aggressively embraces consumer-driven reforms for both Social Security and Medicare, he will energize the wavering economic conservatives in his base, transforming this election into a referendum on a future in which they can passionately believe. He will start the nation toward solving one of its greatest economic challenges.
And he may even get the post-convention bounce that eluded Kerry, setting the stage for the kind of convincing victory in November that will tell the world that the United States remains in strong hands.
