Buck & Kincade, the most stable part of 680/The Fan's schedule the past decade, is swapping places with Chuck & Chernoff.
Buck & Kincade will take over the noon to 3 p.m. slot and Chuck & Chernoff will do 3 to 7 p.m.
[UPDATED at 3:30 p.m. EST with comments from management]
The change is expected to happen next week.
David Dickey, who runs the Fan, said he did not base this move on ratings though he has considered it for several months. (He does not subscribe to Arbitron.)
"We're not doing this because we're the Titanic," Dickey said. "We're doing this because we're kicking butt right now and want to continue to kick butt and pick up some momentum."
He thinks the quicker-paced Chuck and Chernoff show will work even better in the afternoons. "We feel the tempo and texture of the John and Buck show looking forward to the next 10 years is better suited for the middle of the day," he said. "People toward the end of the day want to let their hair down. They want to laugh a little." And to him, Chuck and Chernoff serves that purpose better.
Moving Buck and Kincade to mid-days is not a step down, Dickey said. Given current research, he said, it's clear there are just as many people who listen from noon to 3 as 3 to 7 p.m. thanks to smartphones, at-work streaming and traffic patterns. Other big personalities do just fine from noon to 3, notably Rush Limbaugh.
Buck & Kincade's ratings have slipped a bit over the past two years relatively speaking to direct rival 790/The Zone's 3 to 7 p.m. combo of 2 Live Stews and Pollack & Bell. The Zone' s strongest daypart is 3 to 7 p.m. and the David Pollack/Mike Bell combo has certainly improved in the ratings over the past two years. For the Fan, its strongest time slot has been mid-days, including Chuck & Chernoff.
So effectively, the Fan is taking its most popular team (Chuck and Chernoff) and putting it in a more prominent afternoon position against the Zone's strongest time slot.
Chuck Oliver and Matt Chernoff are both former talk-show hosts at the Zone, both discovered by Zone management. The pair left the Zone separately in the 2007-08 period and reunited on the Fan in late 2008.
The tradeoff: they will both have to give up their TV gigs on CSS Sports Nite.
The Fan is also adding more Dawgs coverage starting next week, including a half-hour Dawgs Roundtable Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:30 a.m. Mark Richt's press conference every Tuesday will air live in the fall.
John Kincade, Buck Belue Oliver and Chernoff are all under long-term contracts, Dickey said.
He was also bemused that Steak Shapiro on the Zone today crowed about the move of Buck & Kincade as a sign that Pollack & Bell had beaten them.
"We're flattered," said Andrew Saltzman, president of the Zone. "We feel very good about what we're doing in afternoons. We'll keep doing what we're doing."
(UPDATE, Sunday, July 17, 2011: Belue texted me a brief statement: "It's win-win for me. Young family. Get to be more involved with my 3 children after school and have dinner with them. Free'd up to work Braves & Dogs. It's all good.")

A new time slot isn't going to make Buck and Kincade suck less.

It is on like Donkey Kong!

John Kincade's actions regarding the Atlanta Thrashers have been nothing but an embarrassment. He continued to fight for the scraps from management/ownership's table and had the nerve to place blame for uncaring ownership and incompetent management at the feet of the fans.
So be it; I refuse to subsidize incompetence. I made the complete switch back to 790 for good….the morning show is far better than the 680 clowns over there….Can't stand Perry; Leo brings nothing; Rude would rather be elsewhere…Buck brings nothing except asinine voice-inflections…
What once was good has gone south quickly. Oh well, it is what it is. Here's to Kincade getting his much-deserved comeuppance!
(Kincade even blamed 'me' for the loss of the Thrashers! Funny, isn't it?!)
July 15th, 2011

Well, Sage, why didn't "you" go to more Thrashers games?
July 15th, 2011
1:56 pm
I was told by one of these hosts (the one that is most active on Twitter) that I didn't know what I was talking about when I gave advise, and even called me an Amateur Radio programmer. Well looks like my amateur thoughts are the same as the professionals. Talk about what the people want. I know C&C talk a lot about College Football, but even they realize there is more than UGA Football and Braves Basketball. Glad to be coming back to the fan.

this really sucks! I listen to both Chuck & Chernoff and Pollack & Bell. Now the two best shows in Atlanta go against each other?
July 15th, 2011
2:01 pm
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I don't want to be tied to a computer late in the afternoon…Keep the timeslots the way they are!
July 15th, 2011
2:02 pm
Simple. Uncaring ownership (i.e., all of the derivations of the ownership groups) and incompetent management (i.e., Don Waddell). As I tried to inform you time and again, Atlanta consumers are 'smart' and refuse to subsidize utter incompetence. Your plastered-lips-to-their-backsides was nothing but an embarrassment–and what little credibility you had was forever lost.
Enjoy the effective demotion, table-scrap-boy. You're next stop is somewhere else, I can only hope.
After their troubles over the past couple of years, 790 has improved its game significantly. 680 will need more corrections to compete….
July 15th, 2011

As someone who listens to both stations (but not the morning shows, both are terrible), I think this is a bad move for 680.
Buck & ol' Kincade aren't going to be magically boosted by a move to the mid-day. They're ability to draw listeners has banked on the lead in from Chuck & Chernoff. Now they'll have the woeful Colin Cowherd in the run up to their show. Yikes.
Moreover, Buck & Kincade is a show that is horribly weak on college football info in a rabid college football market. I don't even think Kincade could name all 12 teams in the SEC. You're putting that up against a show like Barnhart & Durham that did really well in it's first run and is a must-listen for college football fans? Yeah, good luck with that. Maybe B&K can outdraw the 2 Live Stews, but they aren't even doing a good job of that right now.
Chuck & Chernoff will compete well against Pollack & Bell. I guess that was 680's goal… to take that time slot back from 790. Regardless of how good the show is, it'll still be hard to come in and steal listeners from an already popular show. What I think winds up happening is 790 becomes a lot more popular during mid days.
July 15th, 2011
2:04 pm
Well the switch is a bummer in my opinion.
Chuch and Chernoff are terrible. I will switch to the Zone!
July 15th, 2011
2:05 pm
@Sage You do realize that isn't really Kincade, it's someone trying to egg you on.
July 15th, 2011
2:05 pm
I guess this also means Matt Chernoff will also have to give up that show on Crappy Sports Southeast that no one watches.
July 15th, 2011
2:05 pm
And before the grammar police come in… I meant to say "their" in the second paragraph.
July 15th, 2011
2:10 pm
Great move for 680. Buck and Kincade have become very stagnant (not "The Rude Awakening stagnant," but getting there), and have honestly held on to that afternoon drive spot for far too long. Pollack and Bell have achieved high ratings mostly due to lack of another option; and this move certainly provides that. This will boost 680's afternoon drive ratings, while keeping its mid-day ratings high. Buck and Kincade were at their best when they were competing directly with the 2 Live Stews, which is where they will be now. Afternoon's just got taken back by 680.
Now…if 680 can just do something about that horrendous morning show (Perry and Leo getting fired would be a really good start).
July 15th, 2011
2:10 pm
Have you ever heard Kincade on Sunday mornings or when he fills in on espn radio? Have you ever heard him when I am on vacation? He is fantastic. He has to play the heel on our show because I stink so bad. I mean really, have you ever tried listening to me when I am by myself? Heck, I don't even like it. I'm just skating by on the national title that Hershel won me.
July 15th, 2011
2:16 pm
Not going anywhere anytime soon, Sage, so just move on down the dial… Or maybe to Winnipeg.
July 15th, 2011
2:23 pm
I love how Steak broke the news on Twitter first thing this morning. Classic!
July 15th, 2011
2:29 pm
I guess the decision was made easier now that they no longer need Kincade as a lead-in to Thrasher games…
July 15th, 2011
2:41 pm
Surprised to see so much vitriol toward B&K. I love me some Pollack, but Bell is hit or miss at BEST. 2 Live stews are really funny, but not enough local coverage. I've always enjoyed C&C AND B&K. Can't stand listening to Barnhart. Only advantage 790 has is the morning show. Will still stick with 680.
July 15th, 2011
2:44 pm
People listen to Chuck and Chernoff? Why??? Awful show!
July 15th, 2011
2:50 pm
Matt and Chuck sound like schoolgirls in the hall of a junior high. And they're almost good compared to Bulue and The Most Annoying Moralist in radio.
Free the Bottomline!!!
July 15th, 2011
2:51 pm
Chuck and Chernoff are entertaining and funny, ditto with Mike Bell. It's why people listen. It's not all about sports. Yeah, I like sports, but I don't want to hear exclusive sports talk. I like 'guy talk,' and they excel at that. Buck and Kincade are strictly sports, no real entertainment, nothing funny on that show…
July 15th, 2011
2:52 pm
"Buck & Kincade, the most stable part of 680/The Fan's schedule the past decade, is swapping places with Chuck & Chernoff, sources have told me."
Rodney, thank you for properly citing me and my enormous ego as two separate entities, cha cha!
July 15th, 2011
2:57 pm
For what it's worth, if you can't listen to the show live, you probably can record it using the TuneIn Radio App (free on both Android and iOS) and listen later, or in your car. You'd just have to see if the stations are on there.
July 15th, 2011
3:23 pm
In a dream world the Perfect pairing would be Chuck and Pollack, IMHO. Mike Bell never was funny, and he needs to chill out with the fake accents he thinks is cool every time he has to mention a Hispanic or Asian sounding. I consider Kincaid the "Joan Rivers" of local sports talk as he never misses an opportunity to take what I consider cheap shots, Like a lot of posters, I too am rescued by XM radio, where it's all about sports, and not about morals, making fun of other nationalities, or snide remarks.
July 15th, 2011
3:25 pm
I will enjoy listening to C&C, in the afternoon while I exercise!
I like Pollock and Bell, but I can't always pick them up where I live.
July 15th, 2011
3:31 pm
680–Yeah, I like listening to 10 minutes of ads followed by the on-air personality doing 5 more
minutes of ads then 5 minutes of Braves talk (double yawn) then back to the ads.
790–Somewhat shorter ads, David (but, but, but, but–For God's sake use proper English, didn't you
graduate from College?) Pollack, and the smarmy, although more intelligent, Mike Beer eh…..
Perhaps this is why I mostly listen to my book during drivetimes.
July 15th, 2011
3:39 pm
hey guys, just a reminder "big announcement" on monday morning at 7:15 on 680 The Fan!!!! Oh, and another "big announcement" at 8:15 on 680 The Fan!!! Oh, and Weird Al is coming in to fill-in for Perry!
July 15th, 2011
3:40 pm
BTW, Did I mention the BULLDAWGS ROUNDTABLE at 9:30?
July 15th, 2011
3:50 pm
I guess this means the end of Matt Chernoff's time on CSS SportsNite…..and Chuck Oliver who appears occasionally as an expert on college football.
July 15th, 2011
3:58 pm
mel is also joining 680 the fan fulltime, hosting our new "fans night out show." mel will be joined by the brett sheppard experience, cowboy john, new york nick, winnipeg dave, ben poofter and JAY! the show will go head to head with the "young guns." oooops, there goes the 8:10 "big announcement."

July 15th, 2011

I just read the updated article–and I believe Mr. Dickey is delusional. This is nothing but a slap-down on the formidable combination of arrogance coupled with ignorance, which is what Buck and Kincade is all about.
Only one of his station's shows is worth anything–and it's being moved to the afternoon drive slot.
More changes–and drastic ones, especially in the morning–are needed before I make the switch back. 790 has taken complete control of the momentum–and if they can keep to their current balance of sports and entertainment (and away from the baby-Sophie talk), they will return to their prominence of years ago…
July 15th, 2011
4:09 pm
This sucks…I listen to Chuck and Chern as well as Pollack and Bell (but only for Mike Bell). Both are good shows for those of us who are fans of sports but not "fanatics". I think I'll end up listening to the Kang and Chern and Bell on commercial breaks.

BTW–B & K won't stand a chance for the first hour against football know somethings Barnhart & Durham on 790.
July 15th, 2011
4:17 pm
C&C is hands-down the best show on 680, and the only one I listen to. As a previous post stated though, now it'll be P&B v. C&C. That means I can't listen to both anymore. Although, Buck & Kincade will get the nod over the Stews any day. So, all things considered, my listening will remain about the same – mornings 790 (geez, 680 mornings are just awful), middays to 680, evenings 790 (though I could get sucked in over @ 680 if I flip over during a commercial). I see no way this isn't considered a downgrade for Buck & Kincade though.

sports talk in atlanta (680 and 790) lame compared to the real stuff in LA and NY—total sports, not all the non-sports chatter, race based stuff (2 stews), local braves homers (680) etc. Get XM radio and do 24/7 real sports with the top people in NY—you will not listen to this local stuff again—book it.

We like survey radio man. Starting next week we're going to ask ten questions every day man.
Later man.

@Dennis Young
I thought i was the only one who hated the smirkness and holy than thou attitude of Kincade, i seldom listen to 680 though i do enjoy Cowherd, sure i disagree with him often but i need a break from local talk. I remember how Kincade use to take shots at Stuart Scott eye, imagine if someone took a shot at his health issues, which are well documented.
Now that he has that horrible show on ESPN, now he holds his tongue, just goes to show that ESPN is the devil. How in the hell can Amy Lawrence and Kincade have shows? That is unlistenable radio. Anyway, i have no interest is 680, Buck Below is totally unlistenable he sounds like Speedy Gonzales sidekick! Affirmative Action Baby!!
July 15th, 2011
4:23 pm
I didn't realize 790 was still on the air, my radio is frozen on 680 and will remain so. I have never understood how Kinkade has kept his job, his views, interest, and loyalty are much more Northern than Southern. Buck is handicapped by having to carry him, and has done well to survive. I can't comment on 790 because I honestly haven't listened to them in the past 4 years, nor will I in the next 4. Dickey is a good owner and promotes Southern institutions, Braves, Dawgs Etc.
July 15th, 2011
4:23 pm
Sweet! This means I don't have to hear Buck's fake laugh on the way home from work!
July 15th, 2011
4:26 pm
Sage, please contact Mr. Mahaney at the station, I would like for him to pick your brain on programming an Atlanta sports talk station.
July 15th, 2011
4:27 pm
Tragic how I'll have to listen to someone talk about something other than a second tier SEC program on my drive home. I'm not sure why Kincade sticks with him. Go hand off to Herschel and leave us alone.
July 15th, 2011
4:28 pm
Chuck and Chernoff is basically the best sports talk show in Atlanta right now and this is a good move. The Zone has become complete garbage in the past few years since letting their best talent go to The Fan.
How anyone can listen to the Stews or Pollock and Bell for more than 5 minutes is beyond me. Especially the Stews who jump out of this town first chance they got. They have absolutely no appreciation for Atlanta sports teams.
On another note, both stations actually put that annoying caller "Mel" on the air who is a cheap sterotype joke and is never funny or amusing, but for some reason gets airtime constantly. No matter what station I listen to…I turn it when that dumb character gets put on the air.
July 15th, 2011
4:29 pm
What does this mean for Kincade's Audi and carpet cleaning whoring?
July 15th, 2011

I'd be fine wit 790 if all their personalities weren't unbeaable.

9 Essential Selling Skills Every Sales Person Must Know
Jun 25
There are dozens of selling skills that sales people should know. Here are nine of the most important skills every sales person must have.
Without a consistently full pipeline, you will struggle to meet your sales targets and goals. You will experience peaks and valleys and experience a great deal of frustration.
Unfortunately, very few companies actually teach sales people how to prospect effectively. And the vast majority of sales people rely on just a few prospecting methods such as cold calling or networking.
However, there are many other ways to drum up new business including; asking for referrals, approaching customers who haven't purchased from you recently, speaking at industry conferences, writing articles, joining associations and actively participating, looking for additional opportunities to sell deeper into existing customers, conducting face-to-face cold calls, and arranging weekly coffee, breakfast or lunch meetings.
The key is to dedicate a significant amount of your weekly schedule to prospecting activities regardless of how long you have been in business or in your sales role.
Although this sounds like a fundamental concept, the majority of sales people I have encountered over the last 15 years fail to effectively execute it.
Many sales people ask low-value questions that do little to engage their prospects in the sales conversation. Examples include:
"Are you the decision maker?"
"What's your budget?"
"What do you know about our company?"
"Are you interested in saving money?"
"What are your needs?"
Unfortunately, too many sales people still ask tired, out-dated questions like these. As a result, they fail to differentiate themselves from the competition or demonstrate their expertise.
True sales professionals know how to ask high-value questions. Questions that encourage their prospect to share details and information about their business that, in turn, will help the rep effectively position their solution. High-value sales questions can transition into tough, penetrating questions. Questions that make your prospect sit up and think. Questions that cause them to say, "That's a good question." Questions like:
"What goals are you striving to achieve this quarter?"
"What challenges are you experiencing trying to reach those targets?"
"What are those problems costing you in terms of lost revenue, customers, market share, etc.?"
"What impact is that having on your business? On you?"
"How important is this project compared to the others on your plate?"
"What could potentially prevent this from moving forward?"
"What internal challenges do you need to deal with before this project gets the go-ahead?"
When you develop the ability to ask high-value questions, you will stand out from your competition while also learning more about your prospect's specific situation.
You can ask all the questions in the world but if you don't listen carefully to what the other person tells you, you are wasting your time and losing valuable sales opportunities. Active listening means actually hearing what people tell you. It means asking clarifying questions when the other person says something vague or that requires elaboration.
True listening means that you stop multi-tasking during a telephone conversation. Don't type notes into your computer, scan emails or anything else.
Focus your full attention on the other person.
Listen for underlying meanings, clues and cues and respond accordingly.
One of the most effective ways to show a prospect that you have listened (and heard) what they have told you is to quickly recap the key points they mentioned as being important.
Presentation Skills
"Um, I'd like to, uh, discuss how our service can, um, help you, uh, reduce employee turnover."
Not a very compelling to begin a sales presentation, is it? Yet, this type of opening or presentation is not uncommon.
Two aspects of presentations need to be considered:
A. The content. Too many sales people include far too much information in their presentations and open them by talking about their company instead of the buyer's situation. Resist the "include everything but the kitchen sink" approach and only discuss the aspects of your offering that are critical for your prospect to know.
B. The verbal presentation. Consider your pace, timing and actual delivery. The more important a potential sale is for you, the more critical it is that you verbally rehearse that presentation. Watch your body language, gestures, and facial expressions.
The best way to improve your presentation skills is to video-tape a presentation and watch it afterwards. It can be painful to watch yourself in action but it is the most effective way to see how you actually deliver a presentation.
Developing a connection is still important in today's sales environment even though we rely heavily on technology. People still buy from people.
Creating rapport with someone means connecting with them.
This does not mean that you talk about a photo on the desk or an award on their wall…that approach is severely outdated.
Instead, you need to be able to speak your prospect's language. You need to demonstrate that you understand the business problem they face.
For example, if a client has experienced a significant decline in their profit margins due to changes in the marketplace you need to be able to talk about that problem—intelligently.
When you execute this properly, you not only develop rapport with the other person, you also position yourself as an expert.
You can also establish rapport by outlining the goal of your sales call, confirming the time that's been allotted and then finishing early. No one will EVER complain about a sales meeting finishing early!
Objection handling
Objections are a natural part of the sales process. However, how you respond to them can make or break a deal.
First, it is essential that you outline the objections you hear most frequently. Then determine the most appropriate rebuttal. However, before you respond follow these three short steps first.
1. Empathize. This means verbally stating that you understand, respect or appreciate the other person's concern. "Mr. Smith, I understand that you have budget issues to deal with."
2. Clarify. Restate the objection back to the prospect in your own words to ensure that you clearly understand it "So you see the value in this product, it's just that the purchase exceeds the budget you had allotted, correct?"
3. Seek permission. Ask the other person for permission to offer a solution. "Mr. Smith, would it be okay if I took a minute to discuss a few options?"
Follow this process and you will find that most people will be more receptive to hearing your solution.
If you want to achieve long-term success in sales you MUST be persistent. However, there is a significant difference between being persistent and stalking someone.
Persistence means finding creative ways to keep your name in your prospect's mind.
Persistence means not allowing the first few no's to prevent you from pursuing high-value, legitimate sales opportunities.
Persistence means asking for the business, the appointment, or the right questions when necessary even if the prospect is going in a different direction.
Organizational Skills
To succeed in sales you need a plan.
You need to be organized.
You need to be able to outline your day, week and monthly schedule in order of priority.
You need to juggle the demands placed on your time because it is virtually impossible to get everything done that you need to in a given day.
This includes contacting your most important and valued customers first and investing more time with them than your low-value accounts. It means managing your time so you focus on completing the most important tasks first (i.e. prospecting) rather than spending time on things you enjoy doing.
Lastly, sales people need to have focus.
There are a multitude of distractions that threaten to challenge your focus. Email, telephone calls, text messages, problems, paperwork, and traffic are just a few.
Being able to maintain your focus on the big picture as well as the smaller details can make the difference between success and failure.
This also applies to each sales call and meeting. Determine the key objective for each call and focus on achieving that objective.
Selling in today's hectic and complex business world requires tremendous effort and energy. It is highly competitive and stressful. However, you can improve your results and achieve a much higher return on your investment by developing and applying these essential sales skills.

Love this list Kelley! But persistence and listening really stood out for me. Have a great week!
Thanks Tim!
My favourite question is "What are you hoping to get from our meeting today?". I know what I hope to get from the meeting, but this question quickly tells me if the prospect is on the same path or not, and how I need to adjust so we both (hopefully) achieve our desired result.
Anthony, I like that question. It can definitely give you an idea if you need to change your approach.
It an eye opener. Thanks
Most of the suggestions listed here are basic common sense and should be used no matter what your occupation is. As for the correct questions to ask, their are no right and wrong questions. It depends who you are dealing with. A lot of my day is spent having people try to sell to me and all of the questions this article says are the right ones to ask, are wrong. When I hear them I say no thank you and hang up. Just tell me what you do and let me ask the questions from their. The questions that this article is telling you to ask make you sound like a shady sales person who thinks they can take advantage of me. Sorry if I sound like a sour person but when I read articles like this that state the obvious and tell the future sales people of the world to just keep on using these out dated tactics I feel the need to react. Trust me if someone needs what your selling then let the product speak for itself. You don't have to trick me into buying what I need.
JJ, interesting perspective…
I don't believe the suggestions outlined in this post are outdated nor do I believe the questions I mentioned are intended to "trick" a person into buying or to take advantage of someone.
However, I don't expect everyone to agree with my point of view (that would be boring!). Plus, we are all entitled to our own opinion and I thank you for sharing yours. Wishing you continued success!
Most of the times customers ask for some time to decide on purchase , but the time we call them again, they will ready with other suppliers. What is the best way to deal with these situations and to capture customers mind thereby converting them into business…….
Thanks it will help me.
as iam a fresher and going to be a sales proffesional in the future this will helps me alot,thanks again.
Thanks! I think this article is quite informative. I will give it a try in my next sales meeting. However I will like to ask: I often find it difficult getting potential clients to commit. What can I do?
People who are problem-free when it comes to
money usually opt for a professional teeth whitening
treatment because they just don't want to deal with the hassle of doing the treatment
themselves when they don't need to. The first major advantage of
these kits is the variety of choices. Since everyone has varying teeth
sensitivity issues, what may be good for your friends may be a disaster
for you.
My family always say that I am wasting my time here
at net, but I know I am getting experience every day by reading such good content.
At this time it looks like Expression Engine is the top blogging platform
out there right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you're using on your blog?
Alongside all of those other options to take
into account having an affiliate marketing plan, look at how ad positioning
affects your revenue.
Paulie has been on impressive consecutive since the lost to Miguel Cotto.
Hatton's camp stated that he is going to start slow and finish off Malignaggi in the later rounds.

PHOENIX — A statistical argument could be made that Braves pitcher Jair Jurrjens deserved to start the All-Star game for the National League instead of Phillies ace Roy Halladay.
Jurrjens is 12-3 with a 1.87 ERA, while Halladay is 11-3 with a 2.45 ERA.
But Halladay also has four more complete games and 32-2/3 more innings than Jurrjens this season. Oh, yeah, and he also has 131 more career wins, seven more All-Star selections and two more Cy Young awards than Jurrjens.
NL All-Star manager Bruce Bochy named Halladay the starter on Monday.
"I couldn't have a better guy to start the All-Star game for us," said Bochy, managing the NL All-Stars after his San Francisco Giants won the 2010 World Series. "If you look at how he's pitched this year, the numbers are certainly very deserving. But when you talk about the great pitchers in our game today, the elite pitchers, the pitchers that you'd want to start a game that you would have to win, Roy's name is always at the top of the list.
"The incredible career he's had, and again he's doing it this year. His experience. This was really an easy one for me, that he would start this game."
While some Braves followers hoped Bochy might give Jurrjens the nod, no one at All-Star media day was at all surprised he went with Halladay.
"It would have been a super honor to get the start," Jurrjens said. "But, you know, it's Halladay. You cannot go wrong with him. Like I've been telling people, I had my mind set that there was a chance I wasn't going to get it. When I got the news, I wasn't surprised about it."
Kimbrel's whirlwind tour
Braves closer Craid Kimbrel didn't find out he was added to the All-Star team until the Braves were flying back from Philadelphia on Sunday night.
He said pitching coach Roger McDowell came back to the back of the plane and summoned him to see manager Fredi Gonzalez, who gave him the good news.
"I couldn't tell anybody because we were in the air," said Kimbrel, who called his girlfriend and parents in Hunstville, Ala., when the Braves' plane touched down in Atlanta.
Braves officials had already made plans for his flight to Phoenix, and Kimbrel had to go straight from one terminal to another to make his flight. There was no time to go to his home in Atlanta to get any clothes.
"Even though I'm here because another guy couldn't pitch [because Cain started Sunday], it's still an honor to be here," he said Monday. "Everything's going so fast, I don't really know everything that's going on."
His parents and girlfriend were due to arrive in Phoenix Monday night.
"They won't get here in time for the Home Run Derby, but they'll be here for the game," he said, smiling. "I've got to buy a video camera."
Kimbrel leads the majors in saves (28) and reliever strikeouts (70), and Bochy said he picked Kimbrel over Hanson because he wanted to have another reliever available at the back end of the bullpen.
Bochy also indicated, however, that he planned to use Giants closer Brian Wilson if there's a save situation Tuesday.

McCmann: Bochy must still be bitter over that division series last year.
AquaHoss: Hmmmm… I thought we gave that series away/ almost forfeit b/c of injury.

What a toooooooool!

10:02 pm
Man, Bochy is some piece of work. First he screws Hanson in favor of his 3rd pitcher selection from his own team, then he screws kimbrel by saying he'll use his own guy in a save situation. He really must have a stick up his butt about the braves.
July 11th, 2011
10:08 pm
Let's face it, Halladay is a super star. The guy that is in the running for CY Young EVERY year. That's why he gets the nod to start over Jair.
"Bochy screws Hanson & Kimbrel". Not anything I wanna see…
July 11th, 2011

"Bochy screws Rihanna & Shakira" maybe…

You know, part of me understands going with the veteran Wilson over Craig "Captain K" Kimbrel as Wilson is the veteran. But if look at from a standpoint of whose been pitching better lately….say the last 3-4 weeks, I'm thinking you gotta look at the kid. Of course, Wilson there is a certain commercial interest in running the bearded weirdo out there…

Congratulations to young Mr. Kimbrel and all the other Braves players who are on the AS team. I think Hanson got jobbed on this deal but it is what it is.
I'm probably in a minority here and I know it won't happen, but I would be just as happy if Bochy didn't use ANY of our pitchers, especially Venters and Kimbrel. They can use the time off.

'But Halladay also has four more complete games and 32-2/3 more innings than Jurrjens this season'.— Blog
Do you think they allow Halladay to go further into the game which allows him to be given the opportunity to complete games more often because they don't have faith in their pen…or do you think it's more that they want to keep him in their when he's hot even if the pen is good?

Brian "the Beard" Willson has sucked this year. Kimbrel is far better than he is. Kimbrel has pitched more innings has had more save opps and more saves and lower WHIP and ERA. But I would imagin Wilson would cry like a baby if Bruce didn't give him the save opp. I thought we [NL] were playing to win this game.

Let's hope that the Braves can get their revenge against Bochy and the Giants in the playoffs.
July 12th, 2011
6:57 am
Jurrjens and Hanson got gipped. The start should go to the best pitcher, this is MLB 's way of trying to get a feel good story in. Halladay is a great pitcher, but the halfway point of this season belongs to Jurrjenns. The stats don't lie:
Jurrjens- 12 3 0 0 0 1.07 1.87 1 no decision
Halladay- 11 3 0 0 0 1.02 2.45 5 no decision
Jurrjen ranks #1 in all pitching stats and Hanson ranks #3. So stats do not or were not a determining factor in the starter or Hanson getting selected to the all star team. I loss and 1 win separates Hanson and Halladay. Halladay has more strikeouts, but a higher ERA. I thought the all star game was for the best players at the half way point of this season, not from past seasons?
July 12th, 2011
7:24 am
we could have kept Bochy out of this game all together by beating the Giants last year. We can screw him this year in the playoffs if we meet. Sports gives you a chance to PI## down the neck of guys who treat you badly. We have not taken advantage of these situations in the past. I hate the Yankees and the Red Sox too. Go Rays.
July 12th, 2011
9:02 am
i truly don't care who starts or even plays in the all star game (in fact i hope bochy leave halladay in for all 9) but it seems to me like the guy deserving the honor of starting the all-star game should be the guy who has had the best season, not the guy who has had the best career. that's why its the 2011 all-star game, not the all time all-star game.
July 12th, 2011
10:25 am
Personally, it's not a big deal with me that Bochy chose Halladay over JJ for the ASG starting pitcher, selecting Kimbrel over Hanson for the replacement, and will use Wilson over Kibrell for closing situation. I'd probablly do the same if I were him. But the problem is that he should have selected Hanson or Kimbrel or both in the first place.
July 12th, 2011
11:08 am
Jurrjens stats this year are better than Halladay's. Aside from those idiots in Philly….everyone can see that. But its a popularity contest. Bochy is probably getting strong armed into starting the more popular guy.
July 12th, 2011
12:31 pm
Do you want to know what makes me angry about this allstar game? That the players dont care about it. You know after hitting 3000 hits, jeter, whom people would want to see at the game, is not going to be there. This might/could be his last apperence and he is backing out. Maybe Bud Selig should cancel next years allstar selection/game. It would send a message to all the punk-ass players!

Halladay's career accomplishments are exactly why he shouldn't be starting. He's been covered in glory before, and will be again. And that is conceding that something other than wins and ERA should be considered.* Jurrjens may well be a one off, and we can't take his return for granted considering his injury history. Halladay could lose it tomorrow and will have had his fair share of honors.
*The other stats are dependent on bullpen strength, coaching philosophy, etc.

Erin's Charming Former Sea Captain's Coastal Colonial Home
House Call
Name: Erin Buterick
Location: Tuckerton, NJ
My husband Paul and I live in a 1910 colonial situated in the historic fishing village of Tuckerton, New Jersey. When we bought it, we were aware of the fact that it was originally built by the local sea captain, not until a little while later did we learn that the sea captain was in fact a woman. Her name was Virgina and she went by 'Captain Ginny.' All of the history of our town is drawn back to its humble beginnings as a bustling fishing village, being that we are a Southern New Jersey coastal town.
Our house is 1800 sq feet over three floors of living space. The floors were covered with wall to wall carpet when we bought it and the first thing I did (even before our closing date......shhh) was rip it up and uncover the original hardwood. The majority of my furniture was found on the curb or in a thrift shop, some of which I reupholstered with found fabric and belongs to no one specific era. I do love mid-century modern furniture, but I do have a fondness for antique tables and cabinets.I basically just put everything I like all together, and hope it works.
The pictures I enclosed are some of my favorite spots in the house: a reading nook by our collections, my wall of 1920s tattooed ladies, the bathroom, the guest bed, and our hallway of books. I always dreamed of a house with an open floor plan, mid-century flair, and floor to ceiling windows, but I couldn't help loving the cozy rooms, original glass-paned windows, glass door handles and original built-in bookshelves. I even found an antique machete in the basement, which Paul and I like to say Captain Ginny used to slay pirates.
My favorite way to decorate is by utilizing neutrals as the base color for walls/floors and adding color through textiles or pops here and there. I'm always drawn to folk art and the vibrant color combinations it can bring to a room. Whenever possible, I try and keep wood unpainted, even unstained if I can. I can never have enough house plants. And if at all possible, I forgo curtains or blinds, just so the beauty of the old windows is highlighted.
We've done as much as we can to restore the original aspects of the home, I'm sure Captain Ginny would approve.
Thanks, Erin Buterick!

I would love to see a full tour for this lovely home!
Lovely, full of light and air. I personally love white walls etc, with colour provided by accessories and art and it looks like you've done a great job.
Thanks for sharing.
I totally agree with emmipea
Yes, full tour please!
"I always dreamed of a house with an open floor plan, mid-century flair, and floor to ceiling windows, but I couldn't help loving the cozy rooms, original glass-paned windows, glass door handles and original built-in bookshelves."
I can so relate to this! I too dreamed of owning an open floor plan home with a mid-century vibe but, now we're actually putting in an offer for a country rambler. Who knew?!
I too love midcentury but ended up buying a small 1920s bungalow. The scale of the rooms is perfect for my petite midcentury furniture, though, and it also works well with my few antiques, transitional pieces, and the odd Ikea item. And after living for a year in a rented modern townhouse with a relatively spacious master bedroom with ridiculously little storage space, I much prefer our cozy bedroom with a surprisingly roomier closet. Beautiful home -- and truly terrific back story! I hope you'll share more with us soon.
I, too am seeking a MCM era house, but may end up looking at a 1930 vintage Cape Cod in a working class area of Seattle that's 830SqFt, 2 bed/1bath as a fixer upper for my next home.
Also, there is a 2 bed condo not far from it that I'm also may be looking at.
Though these are the first two that I'm interested in enough to perhaps walk through, so who knows what I may end up with in the end. :-)
This is a very nice and cozy home and as you have illustrated, you don't have to match your furniture style to the house, and here it shows nicely how well pieces from different areas work harmoniously together in the space.
house tour, please!
Your place is gorgeous! Very good move, going with the hardwood floor. I'll third (fourth or fifth or...) the vote for a house tour! :)
This is a very nice home. There are so many details I enjoy, from the miniature clawfoot tub to the interesting bookshelf in the first picture. Would love to see a full tour.
I'm so happy that Erin and Paul bought Ginny's house and breathed new, beautiful life into it. I can't say I'm surprised, however, since she breathes beautiful life into our business, School of Vintage, every day. Well done!!
Would definitely like to see a full tour of this one!
Yes please, let us have the full tour!
I do hope that her real name was Virginia!
I was curious about that too.

Let's see here...what would I want for my characters...
For my main (draenei enhance shaman), I'd probably want one of his totems placed in the Exodar, up where Nobundo is. It would be colorless, but you could interact with it, opening a window that reads something to the effect of "This shaman, hero to many and friend to most, has joined the elements. May his spirit watch over you and guide you in your darkest times." Then you could choose to activate the totem,and it would flare to life in a random elemental color. In addition a random, tiny elemental that corresponds to the color the totem flashed (or maybe my characters spirit. Can't decide) would follow you around for a while.
For my draenei DK, some sort of blade, stowed away in the back of the Ebon Hold, planted firmly in the ground. Mousing over it would reveal it to be the "Blade of the Blood Knight," and you could click on it to recieve a buff that turned your weapon into an identical copy. If you happen to be dual wielding, then it's just two, smaller copies.
Draenei Paladin (yes I have alot of draenei): Probably a statue of some form, preferrably at Light's Hope Chapel. It would be in the classic paladin pose: Arm lifted, holding a hammer, one foot forward, looking at the sky.
My gnome mage would get a little vendor somewhere in some gnomish camp or town, maybe even Tinker Town. He would sell most engineering items, but the best item he would sell would be the "G.R.C." It would be only usable by gnomes, and would fire a large ball of fire ala Pyroblast at a target. Flavor text at the bottom would read "Gnomish Revenge Cannon. For all the times that gnomes have been punted."
Finally, my Worgen rogue would get a pair of fist weapons dedicated to him named Fury and Rage. Both would be shaped like long claws, and would be epic items. Flavor text at the bottom would read "The fury of the original owner empowers you." and "The rage of the original owner passes into you." respectively. Fury would give a stacking enrage buff that increases critical strike rating, and Rage would have a similar stacking buff that increases attack power. Finally, if you have both, you gain access to an on use ability that consumes both buffs to add a crapload of extra shadow damage to each strike (enough to overcompensate for the lost dps from losing those two buffs), with a duration that is equal to whichever buff had the longest remaining time.
So, that's what I would want.

From the current issue of Opera Now
Adams' 1991 opera has never been far from controversy. It dramatises the actual events surrounding the hijack of a cruise liner, en route from Egypt to Israel in 1985, by a group of Palestinians. Leon Klinghoffer, a Jewish-American businessman, was shot and thrown overboard in his wheelchair.
Is the opera anti-Semitic? In a word: no. Even Gelb admits as much, making his decision to cancel the relay all the more unfathomable. For sure, there are characters on the stage that spout anti-Semitic sentiments. The men who hijacked the ship were, after all, full of hatred towards Israel, and the opera portrays them as truthfully as it can. Leon Klinghoffer, meanwhile, is characterised as a brave, decent man who confronts the hijackers and pays the price. His murder is shown to be an act of repugnant, cruel and unnecessary violence.
Klinghoffer is one of the few operas written in the last 50 years that tackles a subject of enduring importance and extreme relevance to its audiences. Alice Goodman's libretto is intense and thoughtful; Adams' music is very moving: full of urgency, rage and compassion. The opera attempts to give a historical context to complex modern-day conflicts, and it examines a world where innocents become victims of power-mongers, caught up in other people's battles. It offers no solutions; it relates a horrific, true story vividly, and with dignity.
Peter Gelb has been bemoaning the fact that cinema relays from the Met haven't attracted the new, younger public he had hoped for. The relay of The Death of Klinghoffer could have been a game-changer in this respect: an extraordinary opportunity for the Met to show a diverse, global audience how opera can grapple with subjects of massive cultural and geopolitical significance. Instead, Gelb has stigmatised one of the great works of opera of the 20th century, an act unworthy for someone in his elevated position of cultural influence.
The final word has to go to John Adams himself, who said in an official response to the Met: 'The cancellation of the international telecast is a deeply regrettable decision and goes far beyond issues of "artistic freedom", and ends in promoting the same kind of intolerance that the opera's detractors claim to be preventing.'

In The Next Issue of Opera Now: October 2014
Opera Now was launched in the UK in 1989. In this issue we celebrate our 25th anniversary with a look at the current fortunes and future aspirations of movers and shakers in the British opera world.
Opera North chalks up several firsts when it casts two superb young Korean singers, Hye-Youn Lee and Ji-Min Park, as the leads in its first new production of Verdi's La traviata for 15 years, marking the Leeds debut of the rising Italian conductor Gianluca Marcianò.
As Opera Now turns 25, we invite the bosses of Britain's national opera companies to map out their vision for the future of opera over the next quarter-century.
The great Welsh tenor Dennis O'Neill was Opera Now's first ever cover star in 1989. Now shaping a new generation of talent at the Cardiff International Academy of Voice, he gives us his perspectives on how opera has changed, for better and worse, over the past 25 years.
As the celebrated film director Mike Leigh directs a new production of The Pirates of Penzance at English National Opera, we find out why Britain is renewing its love affair with the comic operas of Gilbert & Sullivan.

I purchased these boots last year and they wore out. The sole cracked which I was very disappointed. But I liked them and wanted another pair. The pair I got this year didn't fit the same size as I got last year. Had to buy a bigger size.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

These boots are a dream come true!
By Anonymous
from North Carolina
When ordering boots I need a wide width. It seems that most boots are not true to size so I honestly thought that I would have to send these back. I was so wrong!!! They are comfortable and wide enough, stylish yet durable, and keep my feet warm and dry in our unpredictable weather. I only wish I could have ordered them without the glossy finish. Other than that, they are perfect!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By MK
from Morristown, NJ
These boots are very warm and very comfortable. The only drawback is that it contains fur, which I didn't realize when I bought them. I'm keeping these because my old boots fell apart and I've had a hard time finding boots that fit me, but please don't feature any more products containing real fur.

By mrssebo

About Me Conservative
These boots were $129 on sale for $60 something and then I had another discount. I figured these would be good quality boots but they only lasted a couple weeks until one of the heels busted. Very uncomfortable! So I had to send them back and it took six weeks to get another pair. Probably won't need them till next winter and what happens if one of the heels breaks then. Then to add salt to the wound, I had to pay for the shipping to have defective merchandise replaced. Needless to say, I'm not happy.
I could not recommend these

These are attractive boots, but they transmit the cold from the ground right through the sole to the foot. This would not be good if you were to have to stand on frozen snow or ice, as I did on one occasion. And I mean the cold went through the sole the instant I stepped onto frozen snow.

About Me Comfort-oriented, Stylish, Warm And Dry Oriented
I haven't had much luck ordering footwear online. Glad to say I gave it another go and I am so happy I did! This winter has been one for the history books and I had old boots. I ordered the patent black so they easy to keep clean. Maybe not the sexiest boots ever, but these are fantastic! They fit perfectly, easy to get on and off and are cozy warm. Plus the price was great, and I am super satisfied!

Made in the USA and built on broad wedge outsoles, these Thorogood boots support and cushion every step you take. Perfect for ironworkers, there is no heel on the sole to get caught on rouge edges and the flat bottom provides maximum surface contact for maximum traction.
The Thorogood 6-inch Wedge Sole Work boots are made with high quality materials and durable construction. Made with a unique moccasin toe design, this American made work boot offers a wider toe box for a more comfortable fit. The tobacco brown oil tanned leather upper is attached to the slip and oil resistant Thorogood MAXwear Wedge sole with tough Goodyear Storm Welt construction. The leather upper not only looks great, but when properly taken care of it adds durability and extends the overall life of the boot. Another nice feature of the wedge sole is that they track less of the outdoors inside with you, making these boots great for roofers and farmers. The exterior is flexible but still creates a strong fit around your feet. The inside of the 6-inch Thorogood Wedge work boot will keep your feet happy thanks to the ultimate shock absorption footbeds and comfort cushions.

About RJ Sadowski
RJ Sadowski is more than a Horse Whisperer; he is a true teacher of great horsemanship and has been helping people and horses for 30 years. He was one of the first Official Trainers for the Mustang Heritage Foundation, is CHA Certified both English and Western, is a MA Licensed Riding Instructor and operates a Licensed Riding School. RJ is a powerful resource for New England horse owners.
"RJ" Sadowski believes it takes five categories of study to be successful with horses. It is his goal to start each student by teaching basic skills of each category to humans. Without knowledge, understanding and application of how these areas of skill relate to horses, frustration and risk are inevitable. These areas of study are:
- Horsemanship: Knowing what the horse is feeling about his safety in the environment, your leadership, herd dynamics and new challenges. Include also, horse psychology to know what kind of individual being one is dealing with and strategies that work.
- Training: Using horsemanship ability, one determines what exactly the horse is learning and the person knowing how and what to teach the horse what he needs to know for a proper foundation for the rest of his life.
- Riding Techniques/instruction: Human knows proper use of leg aids, rein positions, weight aids, bio-mechanics and more to know how to prepare the horse to know what is being asked when mounted.
- Horse Behavior: Knowing and reading horse behavior and what it tells us about our horses needs. Using effective techniques and strategies to develop a meaningful relationship with a horse.
- Horse Psychology: Learning how to recognize opportunities to help our horse want to learn and strategies to develop a willing participation in a relationship with us.
After having traveled around the USA to spend time with the world's most famous and accomplished names in the world of horsemanship, RJ has developed his own brand and philosophy: Horse-Mind-Ship™, the next evolutionary phase of natural horsemanship without the need to say "natural".
- BA in Education from U of Mass graduated 1974.
- 12 years full time experience teaching public elementary school in Williamsburg MA.
- 12 years part time teaching communication skills to adults in business seminars.
- 25 years studied natural horsemanship techniques, principles, philosophy and methods via videos, clinics and publications purchased and studied from world famous names such as Tom Dorrance, Ray Hunt, Leslie Desmond, Monty Roberts, John Lyons, Pat Parelli, Clinton Anderson, Chris Cox, Ga-Wa-Ni-Pony Boy, Craig Cameron and Dennis Reis.
- Completion of several world's most famous clinicians' courses including certificates in:
- Horse Behavior
- Principles Balance Fluidity Freestyle I
- Principles & Techniques Balance Fluidity Finesse II
- Advanced Horsemanship Techniques
- Twenty Five years learning from horses, keeping, riding and teaching horses on 77 acre farm in Plainfield MA.
- Home study of several of the world's most famous clinicians': *Round Penning, *Colt Starting, *Gaining Respect On The Ground series I, II, III, *Riding with Confidence series I, II, III, Gaited Horse Training
- Kept a Tennessee Walking Horse stallion for 4 years for breeding and rode him often.
- Strengths include starting colts, work with Wild Government Mustangs, understanding and taking care of horse's emotional priorities of safety, comfort, food, play, a strong sense of timing and feel, starting colts, ground exercises to prepare for safe mounting, development of lightness and suppleness, communication with horse's body parts, teaching skills of bridle less riding.
- Helping horses overcome problems and helping people with horse problems, forming a program to help the horse and human to be safe and develop communication based on uncovering horse's Equinality™ and human's personality, helping people to know whether their horse is safe to ride or not, reading the horse and helping human to develop a valuable relationship with their horse through communication and understanding.

- Lymphedema, swelling of the arm and/or hand on the side of the surgery due to the removal of the lymph nodes under the arm; lymphedema often goes away on its own, but sometimes requires treatment. Treatment is usually provided by physical or occupational therapists and includes:
- Manually draining the fluid
- Caring for the skin
- Exercising the arm
- Wearing compression bandages to keep the swelling from recurring
- Seroma, the accumulation of fluid in the location of the surgery; most of the time the fluid is absorbed by the body. However, the area may be drained, using a needle, if it does not go away on its own.
Other complications may include stiffness of the shoulder and possible numbness or altered sensation in the upper arm or armpit.
Before breast cancer surgery, your surgeon should provide you with information about recovery and follow-up care. Make sure you get all your questions answered before surgery.

Leading an Evolution
Coach Bill Clark Challenges the BlazersBy Cary Estes • Photo by Steve Wood
Among the items on display in the office of new UAB head football coach Bill Clark is a quote given to him by his father, longtime Alabama high-school coach Ragan Clark, who had received it from his own father: "What a man learns after he thinks he knows it all is what counts."
Bill Clark says the quote sums up his attitude throughout his nearly 25-year coaching career. "We never arrive. We're constantly trying to get better," he says. "That's the thing we're trying to teach our guys. Keep learning. Keep evolving. Keep getting better."
The Flavorful Science Behind Beer and CoffeeBy Clair McLafferty • Illustration by Jessica Huffstutler
If you've never heard of zymurgy, you aren't alone. But if you've ever tasted a beer, you've experienced it: Zymurgy is the science of fermentation. For Tracy Hamilton, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Chemistry, zymurgy is also a passion—and the topic of lectures he presents around the country for the American Chemical Society (ACS).
The Buzz About Chikungunya
How the emerging virus arrived in America—and how UAB will help fight itBy Charles Buchanan • Illustrations by Ron Gamble and Laura Hannah
Don't blame chickens for chikungunya, the virus making headlines for its spread in the United States in 2014. Rather, its winged carriers include mosquitoes and a far more effective disease distributor: air passengers.
At the beginning of August 2014, the 50 states were reporting nearly 400 cases of the disease, from Maine to Florida to Hawaii, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (The CDC has not officially counted any suspected cases in Alabama.) Nearly all of those cases were unfortunate souvenirs picked up by visitors to the Caribbean, where the disease jumped from zero cases before October 2013 to an estimated 300,000 today.

According to the Associated Press....The FBI says a Texas woman admitted sending ricin-tainted letters to President Barack Obama and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, but only after trying to pin it on her husband.
Shannon Guess Richardson was charged Friday with mailing a threat to the president. The federal charge carries up to 10 years in prison.
The 35-year-old actress and pregnant mother of five contacted authorities on May 30 to implicate her husband.
An FBI affidavit says she failed a polygraph test and investigators found inconsistencies in her story.
The affidavit says she later admitted mailing the letters knowing they contained ricin, but said her husband typed them and made her do it.
