The kidney is made up of many layers of cells. Kidney cancer can affect any one or all of these layers.
The main type of kidney cancer is called renal cell carcinoma (RCC). It begins in a layer of tissue called the renal tubular epithelium. More than 9 out of 10 malignant kidney tumors are this type. If you have this type of kidney cancer, you may have more than one tumor in one or both kidneys. These may be quite large by the time they are diagnosed. But most are found before they have spread, called metastasized, to other organs. If you have renal cell carcinoma, you will have one of five types. The pathologist identifies these types by looking at the cancer cells under a microscope. There appears to be a link between the type of renal cell carcinoma and how it behaves:
Clear cell. About 80 percent of people with RCC have this type, making it the most common type. The cancer cells appear pale or clear under the microscope.
Papillary. This is the second most common type of RCC, accounting for 10 to 15 percent of cases. The cells from papillary tumors appear pink from the dye used to prepare the tissue before examination. These cancers also form tiny fingerlike projections, which gives them a tubular appearance.
Chromophobe. This is a rare form of kidney cancer, making up about 5 percent of cases. Pale in color, these cells are larger than other types of renal cell carcinoma.
Collecting duct. This is an even rarer form of RCC. Collecting duct cancer cells form irregular tubes under the microscope.
Unclassified. This includes tumors that contain cells from multiple types of cancer or cells that do not fit into the other categories.
In some cases, the term sarcomatoid may be used to describe certain kinds of kidney cancer. Clear cell or papillary kidney cancer may be called sarcomatoid when the cancer cells resemble sarcoma cancer cells. Some experts believe that sarcomatoid kidney cancers are more difficult to treat.
There are other less common types of kidney tumors than RCC. These types include the following:
Transitional cell carcinoma. These account for about 5 to 10 percent of all kidney tumors. They are also known as urothelial carcinomas. They begin in the junction between the ureter and kidney, which is called the renal pelvis. They can act and look very much like bladder cancer.
Wilms' tumor. This cancer nearly always occurs in children. It accounts for 5 to 6 percent of all kidney cancers.
Renal sarcoma. This is a very rare type of kidney cancer. It begins in the blood vessels and connective tissue surrounding the kidneys.
There are also several types of benign (noncancerous) kidney tumors, including renal cell adenomas, renal oncocytomas, and angiomyolipomas. These tumors may still affect kidney function and can cause pain and other symptoms, but usually they do not spread to other organs.

I am so happy with the work your two employees did for me. It was a pleasure
working with them. They are such good workers and I can tell they enjoy what
they are doing.
I am enjoying my new flowers and plants.
Thanks again for all of your help,
-Jean S
Thank you so much Rick, your
employees are awesome!
I want to thank you for a
job very well done on our small landscaping project. Even more, I want
to compliment you and the young men who performed the work. Those young
men were extremely friendly and courteous at meticulous in making sure
things were carefully aligned.
We had been considering
using another local business to do the job. However as the young men
working for that company worked on a neighboring backyard, I happened to
be outside with my young grandchildren. The language so loudly used was
inappropriate and vulgar. That company was taken off my list of people
to contact for a price.
We will gladly refer our friends to Rick's Lawn & Garden. Thanks again!
& Ryan G
Thank you so much
for all the bricks & stones! They look great & I'm still
finding places to put more,
everything looks
great - your staff was wonderful.
Very nice work,
the mowing you did was a one time only but I would like to
contract with you to do
this work on an on
going basis.
Thank You,
I want to pass
along my positive comments concerning the lawn mowing
contractor. The BEST!
They not only do a
neat and quick service, but go the extra mile in cleaning up the
rock beds of weeds
and trimming the
over grown lawn edging.
Great Job to
Rick's Lawn Service
What a pleasant
surprise to come home after our "celebration weekend" in Door
County and see the
great job you did
with the mulch and resetting the round walk way.
Thanks again,
Alan & Joan
Rick & Crew,
Thanks you so much
for the prompt service we received from you again. We were able
to make our lawn & landscape "presentable" in time for our baby
shower. It looked SO good! We appreciate you working with our
budget and we
continue to highly recommend you to others. We will be calling
in the future for future service!

I'm a bit of a jack of all trades in my guild, really. My most current role seems to be stand-in guild leader while our awesome and wonderful GL struggles through computer issues and a busy semester. I've got a custom rank that sets me above the officer rank; I don't really have more abilities than any of them, but people seem to look to me as the voice of authority when the GL isn't around.
My rank is Rikapedia (my main's name is Rikansolusar) because I have the answer to most questions asked in guild chat, related to WoW or not. Secretly it's because I tend to have two computers running simultaneously (my laptop is always running my Skype or Vent chat as well as a 'waiting in queue' internet browser), so I always have WoWhead up. Our guild is notorious for altholics; there are always people rolling new classes or trying out new specs and professions, so I try my best to help people level by offering alt runs, comparison stats, and crafting mats. My alt army is nearly ready to provide whatever professions necessary, and since our GL's playtime is scarce right now, I'm the defacto guild jewelcrafter.
When we raid I'm the Focus Police for when people start getting a little punchy and distracted, and Skype/Vent gets off-topic. I'm also the main organizer of "retro raids" because aside from being altholics, we're all a bunch of achievement hounds.

We got our sweet cat Frankie when she was about 1.5 years old. Here are some of the things we found have been really useful for an adult cat.
1. Unfortunately, Frankie figured out how to get an unlimited food supply by sticking her paw in this auto feeder about 4 minutes after we got it. But we still use it when we're away for the night because we'd rather her have too much food than not enough.
2. A friend told us about these sticky paws a couple of months ago, and I only wish we had known about them sooner. They're basically pieces of giant double-sided tape that you put on the parts of your couch/furniture that your cat likes to scratch in order to keep them away.
3. This cat box is particularly important if you have dogs who like to hunt for smelly kitty treasures.
4. Frankie loves this window perch. One heads-up is that we had to move the window perch, and the sticky side of the velcro took the paint off of the window sill. Thankfully we had to move it because we were about to start construction on the house and that window sill no longer exists, but just in case you want to keep your surfaces intact be aware that it's a very strong adhesive.
5. This kitty toy was pretty cheap and it has kept Frankie entertained for hours.

Organized Bathrooms: Clean and Clutter-free
Keeping a bathroom tidy, neat and organized can feel like a losing battle. One stray toothpaste cap, a bright orange bottle of Metamucil and a sticky soapdish and the room can quickly appear grungy and cluttered. But with a little planning and some basic maintenance, you can make your bathroom cool, calm and collected. Here are 8 of my favorite tips and strategies for containing bathroom chaos.
Purge, purge, purge! Go through your cabinets and delve under your sink and take inventory. Toss out half-used products or give them away. If you haven't used that lipstick/lotion/exfoliator for the past year you probably never will. This is especially critical in small bathrooms where space is at a premium. For those of you who like to buy in bulk, there is no need to store 8 bottles of the same skin cream under the sink. Gather up all your duplicates and put them in a clearly labelled storage box. Place that box elsewhere in the house (if you have the space, that is--and if you don't have space then steer clear of Costco!).
Move the medicine. Most people assume drugs and medical supplies must be kept in the bathroom. Not so. In fact, many medications suffer in the humidity of a bathroom. Pick out those medications you use on a daily or weekly basis and keep those at hand. The rest can be put in a storage bin elsewhere in the house. If you have children, keep this box locked or childproof. We keep many of our medications in the kitchen where we have some extra storage space. Another important step is to check the expiration dates on your drugs. Those that have expired should be taken to your local pharmacy for disposal.
Clear those surfaces! I love a sparse countertop or sink. There is no reason your contact lens solutions and creams need to be out in plain view. Tuck them away in an easily accessible cabinet or drawer. Whatever you use most should be most accessible. Less used items can be relegated to the back of a drawer or under the sink in storage containers. My husband's massive Gatorade-colored Listerine bottle is such an eye sore that I have finally convinced him that it is not a huge inconvenience to place it in his top drawer instead of on the sink.
It's all about packaging. Not all bath and beauty products are ugly. Some are packaged so beautifully that it would be a shame to hide them away. I am a sucker for L'Occitane liquid soaps, for example. If you don't like the look of any of your products, invest in some nice bathroom accessories, such as jars, soap dispensers or lotion dispensers. Just be sure that it is clear which is soap and which is lotion!
Use decorative objects sparingly. If you have adequate storage space you may have some shelf space available for displaying pretty objects, like candles, infusers, flowers, shells or sea sponges. But don't go overboard or the room will appear cluttered (and dusty!). I prefer to decorate my bathroom with accessories that are attractive but also functional (a nice trash can, a pretty soap dish, etc). Toilet paper rolls and stacks of towels are actually quite attractive if displayed with care. By placing them out on display you free up a lot of space in the linen closet and under the sink.
Be creative about storage. If you don't have a big vanity, closet or etagere for storing bathroom bits and pieces, try baskets or bins to hide unsightly products. Invest in a wall-mounted cabinet (they can be found quite cheaply) if you have minimal floor space.
Keep extra toilet paper within reach! Toilet paper itself is not ugly or messy looking (in fact, a nice white stack can look rather attractive) and should not take up valuable real estate under the sink or in bathroom cabinets. Moreover, you are doing yourself and your guests a favor by making toilet paper easily accessible should the current roll run out. Place rolls in a nice basket atop the toilet bowl or, better yet, stack them on a toilet roll holder like the one in Image 12.
Consolidate your hair care supplies. Untangling a hair dryer from underneath the sink is a pain but I think hair dryers are ugly and unwieldy and should be kept out of sight when not in use. Putting your brush, hair care products and hair dryer in a single tote (see Image 4) under the sink makes life easier. You can pull the whole bag up onto the sink when primping and then stash it all away when you're done.
• 1 If you like displaying your bathroom tools and products use attractive containers. Funnel that technicolor mouthwash into a more attractive ceramic bottle. Stock up on glass apocathery jars for Q-tips and cotton balls. In this bathroom from Every Day Minimalist we see all kinds of organizational tips deployed. Here is a bathroom that is by no means sparse or minimalist (in fact, I prefer my bathroom products to be less exposed) but manages to be very tidy.
• 2 If you don't have any decent built-in cabinets but you have plenty of space, consider bringing a piece of furniture from elsewhere in the house. There is no rule that you must use furniture intended specifically for the bathroom. In this bathroom in House Beautiful an antique armoire provides a ton of storage and looks just stunning.
• 3 Organizing your belongings into baskets doesn't have to be boring. I love how Kristen Mcashan has used yarn to label her various bathroom containers, as shown on her blog Peace, Love & Crafts.
• 4 To keep your hair care regimen contained and manageable, I recommend this $12.99 mesh tote from Great Useful Stuff.
• 5In eep Beep Back Up The Storage Bus, we profiled this handy dandy medicine cabinet, found in Dale & Adam's Detailed Duplex. This shallow (4" deep) cabinet is a very clever use of limited bathroom wall space.
• 6 The folks over at Young House Love underwent a big bathroom renovation last year. The end result is clean, fresh and super tidy. Notice how they have kept all ugly containers and bottles out of sight? The open shelves are full of towels, toilet paper and pretty baskets. If shells and sponges aren't your thing, you could just stick to the towels and baskets.
• 7 This bathroom from Alex's Granny Chic house tour demonstrates that a tidy, uncluttered bathroom is not synonymous with minimalist and modern. You don't have to have a hotel-like "spa" bathroom to be organized. Here Alex has used a vintage chair to stack a pile of crisp white towels. A great storage solution for homes that lack cavernous linen closets!
• 8 In their house tour, Julie and Nate show off their lovely, clean bathroom, equipped with Restoration Hardware vanity and furnishings. While they clearly tidied up the countertop for the photo shoot (no toothbrushes in the toothbrush holder!) you can tell this is one tidy couple. With all that storage space there would be no need to clutter the counters with ugly tubes and bottles. Julie and Nate Channel The Colonial Aesthetic.
• 9 By adding a wall-mounted cabinet Catherine has made it much easier to maintain a clutter-free bathroom. With her tiny sink, even the smallest products would look messy. Now she can easily tuck her essentials away behind a closed cabinet door. Before & After: Catherine's Instant Bathroom Makeover.
• 10 Baskets and totes can certainly contain the chaos but they can also make a bathroom look like a baggage claim area. By hanging simple wire baskets on the wall, Apartment Therapy blogger Kristen Lubbe not only reduced floor clutter but she freed up some much-needed space in her linen closet. This solution is especially useful for renters who are prohibited from making structural changes to their bathrooms. Basket Envy Turned Inspiration.
• 11 In our post How To: Prep Your Bathroom for Company, we urge readers to make sure to leave out extra toilet paper and hand towels for guests and to tidy up their bathroom products out of sight. I believe these tips should be embraced on a daily basis, not just for when guests are expected. This bathroom is just lovely. Very simple and sparse with everything stored away in the sizable wall-mounted cabinet. I love the soft raffia basket of toilet paper and the little vases of flowers.
• 12 For stacking toilet paper rolls, use a simple paper towel holder or splurge on this one from Unica.
• 13 This sleek, uncluttered bathroom is from Ralph's House of Cool house tour.
• 14 I love the under sink storage bins in this bathroom. Elle Decor.
• 15 Lots of storage and counter space in this spa-like bathroom from House Beautiful

Great inspiration! I really like the first and last images.
But two things - What do people do about garbage bins? I bought a nice clean modern one, but then you put a bag in and it looks sloppy. Do you just not use a bag?
And, about toilet paper, I prefer to keep that under the sink (still within reach), because I don't like the idea of it being exposed to toilet germies or the occasional sleepy husband who refuses to turn the light on at night.
Purging my mess under the sink is high on my list of things to tackle!
We redid our bathroom... new bath, new basin, new sink, new toilet... never gave storage a thought... thinking we could add shelves we liked later. While we waited to find the right storage we purged... down to one shampoo, one toothpaste - no multiples of anything... no buying bulk and saving - I don't want 30000 earbuds, a packet of thirty is fine - really!!! Turns out we had far less stuff that "had to be" in the bathroom than we thought!!! SO our bathroom turns out to be really minimalist... with a handful of things on the window sill. Toys are in a colander in the bath - if it gets too full we just get rid of a couple - so the collection never expands beyond a few toys that are really enjoyed at the time.
Apropos of nothing, that bathtub is kind of amaaaaaaaaaazing. (I usually don't feel this way about tubs. XD)
3rd picture: "Stuff" bin. Hee. I have plastic bins like that in my under-sink counters. It saves SO. MUCH. TIME. finding things.
Lesova - I have one of those frosty-plastic Umbra trash cans in my master bath that's the same color as the walls, so it blends in. I don't use a bag, since all that ever goes in there is paper and cotton and things, though I do wash it out every time I empty it. ...except that my new puppy will NOT stay out of it, so I had to set it up on top of a basket where now it's practically the only thing you see when you walk into the room. I'm going to be getting one of the ones that hangs on the inside of a cabinet door soon instead. :/
Thank you so much for linking to my other blog -- The Everyday Minimalist.
I really appreciate it!
Some kinds of inexpensive kitchen storage are fantastic for tiny little bathrooms with no place to put the towels -- I use a wine rack for rolled-up washcloths and hand towels, and have used pot lid racks mounted on the wall for bath towels in the past. They take up so little space you can even put them in a narrow room or on the back of a door, and if you fold the towels right, the rack itself is almost invisible. I like the way the towels look, and I'd rather save the storage space I do have for the uglier stuff.
The racks that mount on the inside of a kitchen cabinet door to hold boxes of foil and plastic wrap (like this one: http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1385675&kw=organizer&lmdn=Price+Range&searchId=50615926204) are also great -- I use one under the sink to keep cleaning supplies in reach and organized, but they're also great for storing ugly bottles and tubes, hair dryers and curling irons, or (with a liner) as a stealth wastebasket.
wait, really?: so do you keep your hair dryer in the kitchen?

DALLAS — This was nothing new for Case McCoy.Before this weekend, McCoy's most memorable performance came in a 27-25 triumph over Texas A&M at Kyle Field two years ago. The comeback win was a thrilling way to end the storied rivalry, but McCoy may have topped that moment Saturday. This time, facing a previously undefeated Oklahoma squad, Texas spent most of the day with a lopsided lead, thanks in large part to McCoy's efforts. In his final game against Oklahoma, McCoy completed 13 of 21 passes for 190 yards and a pair of perfectly thrown touchdown passes in a 36-20 victory over the Sooners."We came here to play against OU. We came here to play against A&M. They took one away from us, so we can only win one," McCoy said. "I haven't played well, and we haven't played as well here over the years. But this will be well-known for a long time."McCoy's first touchdown was a 59-yard toss to Marcus Johnson, a beautifully placed ball on third-and-11 that Johnson settled under before speeding away from Oklahoma defensive back Kass Everett into the end zone. "You hear different things walking around campus, not a lot of people have a world of confidence in him, but this team does," senior guard Mason Walters said of McCoy. "In big games, great players play well. We all rallied around Case, and he did well leading us out there."The second touchdown was just as impressive as the first. With the Sooners threatening to close the gap, McCoy lofted a pass over Mike Davis' shoulder for another touchdown, this time a 38-yard scoring strike to give the Longhorns a 36-13 lead. "Case is just clutch," Davis said. "He was ready when his time was up. He came in and took the role from Ash. He's leading us down a good road."McCoy dubbed the Red River Rivalry a "legacy" game Monday, one that shapes how players from both Texas and Oklahoma are remembered. After the way he played Saturday, Longhorns fans should have extremely fond memories of McCoy. Johnson turns tideFor the first time since Texas' season opener, Daje Johnson made it through an entire game 100 percent healthy. Like that season-opening win over New Mexico State, Johnson shifted the momentum of the game in a hurry. After Oklahoma had trimmed Texas' lead to 23-13 in the third quarter, Johnson fielded a punt deep in his own territory. Eighty-five yards later, he was in the end zone and the Longhorns held a convincing lead once again. "I was very eager after my injury," Johnson said. "I wanted to come back and show people what I could do, because against New Mexico State, I scored two touchdowns, but that's New Mexico State. I wanted to prove myself against a big team and I got that chance, took the opportunity and ran with it."Johnson replaced Jaxon Shipley as the Longhorns' punt returner this week and the move paid off. He slipped past a couple Sooners defenders almost immediately after catching the punt. It was the closest Johnson's jersey came to being touched on the play.Rivalry firstMack Brown couldn't remember the last time Texas ran the ball this well against Oklahoma — maybe because the Longhorns had never had a pair of 100-yard rushers in the Red River Rivalry before Saturday. That changed when Johanthan Gray ran for 123 yards on 29 carries and Malcolm Brown added 120 yards on 23 carries. They helped the Longhorns outrush Oklahoma 255-130 in Saturday's 36-20 win."That's the one thing we knew we had to do. The past two years we just got absolutely blown out in the run game," Walters said. "That's a big reason why we were able to win today."

The Braves' offseason is about to start the best way possible: with pitcher Tim Hudson signed to a new contract.
Our David O'Brien is reporting that Hudson is close to signing a three-year contract extension worth approximately $9 million per season. Assuming that deal is finalized, consider this a good omen for the winter. A year ago, general manager Frank Wren whiffed in several of his early free agents pursuits, and negotiations played out in a public forum. This deal, he's closing early.
Yes, the Braves need a bat. That's no secret. But the offseason roster makeover had to start with Hudson. He made a successful comeback from elbow surgery and gives the Braves one of baseball's strongest starting rotations, with probably Tommy Hanson, Jair Jurrjens and two of the following: Javier Vazquez, Kenshin Kawakami and/or Derek Lowe. (Vazquez is entering the final year of his contract, making him a valuable trade asset, but he was the team's best starter from start to finish last season and Wren would prefer to avoid dealing him.)
I swapped emails with Wren late Tuesday night. After reading David's story over the weekend about negotiations beginning this week with Hudson's agent, I was hoping to get a general feel for talks. Now, I certainly never expected Wren to respond, "Funny you should ask. We just offered $X.X million per year and they countered at $X.X million. I've sent you both proposals in an attachment."
So when Wren gave me no numbers, I wasn't disappointed.
But if there was any lingering doubt that the Braves wanted Hudson in their starting rotation next season, Wren obliterated it with this email: "As you know, we don't comment on negotiations, but I will say that Tim progressed as we thought he would coming off the surgery and we expect him to be even better next year with additional time off from this season to get stronger."
Let me translate: signing Hudson was priority one.
Re-signing him is the right decision. As much as keeping him means a significant financial commitment, it gives the Braves the best possible starting rotation.
The obvious cynical comeback to that is: "Oh not, not another old pitcher coming off surgery." But Hudson is less of a risk than either Tom Glavine or John Smoltz were. He's not nearly as old (34) and the Braves already have had a chance to see him pitch post surgery (seven starts, 2-1, 3.61., 30 strikeouts and 13 walks in 42.1 innings).
If Wren gets Hudson signed, the focus the rest of the offseason switches to trading an arm for a bat (or two).
But Hudson had to be the first domino to fall — and it's about to.

I'm not trying to suck up to you Jeff but I agree with every word you've written. Now and forever.
October 28th, 2009

I think it's a good move, but I also don't see any team trading for either Lowe or Kawakami. The Braves will probably be forced to trade Vasquez for a big bat, the other guys won't cut it and won't be traded– unless they just want to unload either of them in a salary dump for very little in return.
But I actually don't think it would be a bad idea to trade Vasquez if you get a good, preferably younger player, in return, as opposed to a one-year rental that will be playing for the Yankees next year, a la Texeira. The reason is this: Vasquez had one of the two best years of a long career. What are the odds that will happen again? I just don't know. Sell high, buy low is what I say.
I also can't stand the Yankees and hope they of the $200 M + payroll get destroyed by the Phillies. Just thought I'd throw that in there.
And to Mr_Ed and the other guys who apparently constantly check the blogs so that they can say "first": what the hell? Don't you have better things to do? I don't get it.
October 28th, 2009
4:41 pm
Jeff, at first, I wasnt sure about keeping Hudson, but, as I think about it more, it would be the right move. Before his surgery, Tim was one of the best starting pitchers in all of baseball. He seems to have rebounded well from the TJ procedure, and will take less $$$ to stay here, so why not?
I would love to see Lowe traded, to get his contract off the books, but I dont think any team is going to take his 15 mil a year deal, considering his age, and his high ERA last season. One of two things will likely happen. Either Frank will trade KK for a bat, or, he will trade Lowe, and the Braves will have to pick up part of the contract.
I think Hudson can help us for three or four years more, so hopefully, a good deal will get done, and we will have him for a while.
October 28th, 2009
4:41 pm
Yes. Right on target. I hope somebody Wren also addresses the inadequacies at the plate. Particularly by trading an older player who might still have some market value in distressed cities for somebody with enthusiasm.
October 28th, 2009
4:43 pm
Right on the money Jeff. Comparing Hudson to either the Smoltz or Glavine situations is dumb. Hudson proved he can still pitch at the end of last season.

If the Braves can find some stupid…uh, I mean proactive GM to take Lowe off of their hands for a solid hitter then they will be in business. Lowe is dead weight. He needs to go.
October 28th, 2009
4:54 pm
trade Derek Lowe for some prospects and sign Vlad Guerrero for a couple years.
October 28th, 2009
5:05 pm
Since it will be difficult to trade Lowe with the salary and off year, thoughts on packaging Lowe with Vasquez for a blockbuster bat and maybe a second tier arm???
October 28th, 2009
5:06 pm
Jeff, you are 100% correct on this one. It would be HUGE for the Braves to re-sign Hudson. That would give the Braves the leverage they need to acquire a big bat in trade. No matter what happens, Huddy would be affordable (by today's standards) and it would go a long way in solidfying their rotation. If you can package and trade either Lowe or Kawakami, then you would field the best starting five, while hopefully adding a bat to boost their anemic offense. My only other hope is Wren forcing Bobby to drop losers like Norton & Johnson and fielding the BEST players (and not keeping someone just because he's "Bobby's Boy").

Your right Jeff, Hudson needs to stay a Brave. If any one is dumb enough to take Lowe (Yankees are you listening), they can have him. Way over paid for him, at least he pitched more than Mike ( I am hurt again) Hampton. KK seemed better once he'd pitched some in the early season. What big bat might the Braves get? Adam LaRoche won't be enough.
October 28th, 2009

the braves are gonna have to trade JJ for a big bat……it's a gamble but that is my opinion….

Derek Lowe's contract has got to be up there with the most illiquid assets in baseball right now.
It was pretty stunning to give him $60mm when the only other known offer was $39mm (Mets, 3-years). Sure, they had to pay a premium after a 90-loss season, but I think they paid about $10mm more than they needed to.
October 28th, 2009
7:03 pm
Last year when we was going to Braves Games we was saying that the Braves will probably drop Hudson like they did Glavine and wHen they didn't, we was surprised. Hudson will come bakc to the Braves but don't be surprised if the keep Kawakami. We need to get Stinky Wintes in there to teach Kawakami to pitch like a real Major Leaguer even though Stinky was never a real good pitcher.
October 28th, 2009
7:14 pm
There's one thing that keeping Huddy would do:
A good veteran presence to go w/ the young guys like J.J. & Hanson. I always thought it was great to see Hanson picking Huddy's brain in the dugout. That would give U at least 2 veterans (Javy & Huddy) in the rotation.
October 28th, 2009
7:17 pm
I agree, our rotation should be Hudson, Jurrjens, Hanson and Vazquez. Best 1-4 of any team right now. Or could be anyway.
The starting pitchers that will be on the market wont be that good. Yes there are a couple but there are many teams that want this couple. We actually have two pitchers in KK and Lowe who could help out another team and if we trade both of them then we should come out of the good end of the stick. I would not be against letting Medlen become the 5th starter with the above mentioned group.
Guess we will all just have to sit back and see what Wren can come up with.

Jeff, they is an impostor posting here as Sonny Clusters. He doesn't write as good as the real Sonny and we was Honor Roll in school. The real Sonny will now take departure from your blog. Sorry it didn't work out we was looking forward to Dunwoody. Your pal, Sonny Clusters

Let me get this straight, everybody except myself thinks Frank Wren did a great job of slapping this pitching staff together. And yet everybody want's to unload Derek Lowe because they think he's overpaid and not worth the trouble?
Go figure. After all, trouble loves company

In reference to Sonny Clusters at 7:30 pm.
I've always said when Sonny Clusters gets an imposter on this blog, it's the 7th sign of the apocalypse. Therefore, I'm going up on my roof and singing Kum-Bah-Yah till a the fellow on a white horse arrives in the sky.

This may be the first and probably only time I agree with Coach, but I don't see how someone who led the staff in wins and pitched over 200 innings is a "dead weight." He was the WS MVP in 2007 and has never been injured. He had an off year but I hardly think he's washed up. Hudson had an almost identical ERA in 2006 and came back to a 3.33 the following season.
I also don't understand all you who think Hudson's going to magically become our "ace" next season. We had three starters with an ERA under 2.9; Hudson's average ERA as a Brave is 3.77 (3.17 being his best year) and he isn't getting younger or healthier. That certainly isn't bad, not at all, but which of those three would you put him in front of, other than to break up the different styles in the rotation?

Best opinion on this blog came early by DW. Everyone says Lowe is dead weight, but with a couple of exceptions, he was pretty solid all year. KK is a much better pitcher than most give him credit for, and I think he does have trade value, most likely to a west coast team.
Hanson, JJ and Huddy are staying, which leaves Javy V. I agree with DW that his trade value is at an all time high right now, and Wren should get a strong bat in return.
Also, you've got to bring Rochy back – great glove, great in the clubhouse, and got some much needed power.
A move FW will have to work on is bringing in our future 3rd baseman – Chipper appears to be toast…might get one more decent year out of him.
October 28th, 2009
11:15 pm
Jeff, oh, I never meant to imply he wasn't serious. But he's shown over time that telling us they want to do something and actually doing it are not necessarily even close to the same thing.
October 29th, 2009

Derek Lowe has averaged 33 starts, 206 innings, 15 wins and 10 losses during the previous eight seasons as a starting pitcher including 2009. Dude is a winner, period. Yes, he is overpaid but that is the fault of Frank Wren. Blame the GM, even the agent, not the player.
Trading a winner much less reversing course after just one season is not just questionable judgment, it's grounds for a mental health check for the entire front office.
That said, we have six starting pitchers. Somebody is gone. I would have said Vazquez before Cox was brought back for 2010, but Cox will have none of it, Javy is Bobby's long lost love child.
And for the next fruit cake who brings up Jair Jurrjens, read David O' Brien's latest blurb and then check yourself into the nearest psych ward.
Tim Hudson is basically taking roughly half of what he could get on the free agent market. Huddy, You da man! Loyalty is a rare commodity.
Tommy boy is the golden child in tights, enough said. Check it out:
Leaving Kawakami as the logical choice to get the boot. I know, ticking off the entire Japanese baseball market is a bad idea but Frank Wren has painted himself into a corner on this one. As has been much cussed and discussed in many blogs. I'm all for trading for Nelson Cruz and Luis Durango. Adding Mike Cameron as an affordable veteran free agent can only help, and I'm talking 3-5 million for one season. Add these three in with McLouth, Diaz, Schafer and Heyward and we have the makings of a very solid outfield, without breaking the bank while adding some much needed defense, power, speed, athleticism and veteran leadership.
Not to mention freeing up enough cash to sign LaRoche, Soriano and Gonzalez while still having some extra funds to go rummaging around in the free agent bargain bin.

October 29th, 2009
9:17 am
Wren's main job last year was to rebuild the pitching staff, a job that he did so well, he is now being cursed and second guessed because he now has too many starters, and there is great debate how he should proceed.
In hindsight, it seems he overspent for Lowe, but Lowe is a winner. Our greeat young staff makes him look bad. How many of you did not want him signed last year, especially when other alternatives were disappearing? Do you wish Wren had given SD what they wanted for Pevey?
Hindsight is 20-20.
October 29th, 2009
9:47 am
Signing Hudson is a great move that by all accounts should be a no brainer! This gives Wren tremendous flexibility to obtain offensive help by putting Lowe, Kawakami and even Vazquez on the market to see for whom he will get the best return. Despite how well he pithced last year, Vazquez probably has the most trade value considering the following:
(1) Last year may have been the best of his career;
(2) He only has 1 more year on his contract and thus could be a free agent after 2010; and
(3) His history does not suggest that he will have the same year this year as he did in 2009.
October 29th, 2009

Offer Lowe and Kawakami along with a couple of minor league prospects to the Dodgers for Andre Ethier and see if they bite. They were willing to throw a lot of money away on a previous Braves reject.
October 29th, 2009
12:35 pm
It pains me to say this as a lifelong Braves fan, but so long as the core of the Phillies stay intact (Utley, Rollins, Howard, Lee, Hamels), we may get better next year, but we don't stand a chance in this division. They look like a dynasty in the making….
October 29th, 2009

If Wren's ready to rock, there must be a really good reason for it. Although I hate to lose Vasquez, the Braves better bounce back quickly from the awful outfield output outage.

Everyone seems to be under-selling the value of a reliable ML starter. By the end of the FA period and as spring training advances, many teams will be struggling to feild three or four ML starters. Kawa will be a very interteresting commodity to about a third of the league.
On the Braves staff, Kawa is #5 or 6. On another team he could be seen as a solid #3 or 4. Selling high only applies when the commodity is abstract, when the commodity is is needed to get out ML batters, you don't sell.
LaRoche is a good value at 1B. He loves the Braves, will sign for less, provides power, avg and defense. All we need is to upgrade the OF and find a solution with Chipper.
Our rotation should once again be one of the best, if not the best. The infield is set (except for the 3B situation) if we sign LaRoche and let Prado play. OF is the easiest way to improve the offense of the team.

Ha we see i bet he pulla chipper n be out all next year after May game…be a second hampton which i told O.Brien would be a dud. sorry folks it get u season tickets in 2012 now.why show up see Bobby cox pick nose n say that aboy chipper hit ball are Norton u can ground out for me….Oh and Bobby cox will be sad as phillies will be showin there second ring to Us…hey cox see Manuel win 2 titles if u been there they would n No WS Titles if u there! Oh n i say also that Phillies will win a 3rd WS title also toin 2010

To have any chance to win under Bobby Cox, the Braves must have pitching that is so far far superior to the other teams that it overcomes Cox's management procedures and lack thereof and enables them to win the Division over the long 162 game season in spite of him. This is the way that it has basically always been with Cox.

I think that, honestly, you're overthinking this a bit much. Honestly, yes, they design some of these places for certain sized groups, but truth be told, that's the only difference.
Could you honestly imagine fighting, say... Marrowgar in a smaller room? Would the fight feel the same if the room were smaller, and the boss model shrunk? What about Saurfang? That platform is tiny enough as-is.
Even on 10-man, the ICC raid areas don't feel "too big" to me. They feel appropriately sized for what they need to be -- awe inspiring. And honestly? It's the Lich King's fortress in there, would it make sense for it to be smaller?
As for Ulduar, the place was designed by the Titans -- beings obviously larger in stature than any of the player races in Azeroth. It makes complete and total sense for those areas to be so large. Hell, the smaller areas are what don't make sense to me. Take the stair wells for example. REALLY HUGE HALL WAY. Itty bitty steps.
TOC also feels appropriately sized -- it's an arena of sorts, it should be large.
While I can see your point on this, I just don't share it.

Alexander Ovechkin left Monday night's game in Raleigh with an apparent knee injury after he initiated a knee-to-knee hit on Hurricanes D Tim Gleason in the first period of a 3-2 Caps win over Carolina. Both players laid on the ice in pain afterwards and Ovechkin did not get up for several minutes before being helped up by the training staff. He was unable to put any pressure on his right leg, was taken to the locker room and did not return.
Ovechkin was given a game misconduct for the hit, which is sure to raise more controversy regarding the Hart Trophy winner who drew some criticism for a similar hit on Penguins D Sergei Gonchar in the playoffs last season. Hurricanes D Aaron Ward called the play "irresponsible" during a first-intermission interview on the home team's TV broadcast.
The far more pressing concern for Caps fans, however, is Ovechkin's status. According to the team's PR staff, there will be no update until Tuesday at the earliest. Around the country, fans will be discussing Ovechkin's reputation. In Washington, fans will hold their collective breath until further news comes along.

Israel is connected to the world's major commercial, financial and academic data networks and is fully integrated into international communications systems by means of underwater fiber-optic lines and satellite link-ups. The country ranks high, on a per capita basis, is telephone lines, computers and Internet users.
Israel is one of the few countries worldwide to have 100 percent digitalization of its telephone network, which enables the provision of a range of state-of-the art services for subscribers. In addition, Israel has one of the world's highest cellular phone penetration rates.
Postal services operate throughout Israel and connect it with most countries abroad. The Philatelic Service has issued over 1,500 stamps. Many well-known Israeli artists have helped create these calling cards', some of which have already attained the status of classics and are eagerly sought by collectors.
In a country of short distances, cars, buses and trucks are the main means of transportation. In recent years, the road network has been extensively expanded and improved to accommodate the rapid increase in the number of vehicles as well as to make even the most remote communities accessible. Currently sections of a multi-lane highway, to run almost 190 miles (300 km.), starting at Be'er Sheva in the south and branching out to Rosh Hanikra and Rosh Pina in the north are under construction. This road, which is still being debated because of its environmental ramifications, is expected to make it possible to bypass heavily populated areas, thus easing traffic congestion and providing fast access to most areas of the country.
Israel Railways operates passenger services between Tel Aviv, Haifa and Nahariya. Freight services also operate further south, serving the port of Ashdod, the cities of Ashkelon and Be'er Sheva and the mineral quarries south of Dimona. In recent years, both rail freight and passenger usage has increased. To help alleviate problems caused by increased road-traffic density, rapid rail transit services - utilizing upgraded existing tracks - are now being instituted in the Tel Aviv and Haifa areas, operated in coordination with bus feeder lines. Many outmoded coaches now in use are being replaced by modern, air-conditioned passenger cars, and up-to-date mechanical track-maintenance equipment is being put into operation.
The ancient ports of Jaffa (Yafo), Caesarea and Acre (Akko) have been replaced by three modern deep-water harbors at Haifa, Ashdod and Eilat which serve international shipping. Haifa Port is one of the largest container ports on the Mediterranean Sea as well as a busy passenger terminal; Ashdod Port is used mainly for shipping goods; and the port of Eilat on the Red Sea links Israel to the southern hemisphere and the Far East. In addition, a tanker port in Ashkelon receives fuel shipments, and a direct off-loading facility for freighters supplying coal to the nearby power station operates in Hadera.
Recognizing that Israel's geographic location gives it the potential to become a transit country for passengers and goods traversing the region, the Ports and Railways Authority has designed a long-term master plan to meet future transportation needs. Among other priorities, it advocates developing a modern rail system, instituting state-of-the-art equipment in every phase of its land and sea operations and setting up a network of computer systems to control and supervise all of its services.
Ben-Gurion International Airport (a 25-minute drive from Tel Aviv, 50 minutes from Jerusalem) is Israel's main and largest air terminal. Due to rapid increases in the numbers of passenger arrivals and departures, the airport is being extensively enlarged. Charter flights, mainly from Europe, and domestic air travel are served by the Eilat airport in the south and small airports near Tel Aviv in the center and Rosh Pina in the north.

Difficult one this.
Lets imagine that under some future totalitarian society, everyone has to have most of their memories erased, but you can keep one climbing memory intact - just one!
So which would it be, which would be that one climbing memory you would want to keep?
For me it would be Great Wall on Cloggy.
Ever since I started climbing, Great Wall was something that inspired me. The Black Cliff, Drummond's brilliant essay in Hard Rock - "elephants bounced past trumpeting" - black and white photo's in old Mountain Magazines, possibly the most beautiful sweep of rock in Britain?
When I finally did it, on a heavily overcast midweek day, after several days of rain, the crag deserted, just one of my closest climbing friends (no longer with us) and the squawking crows and ravens for company, the mist hanging low, heavy and menacing, it was everything I imagined and hoped it would be.
Climbed in one pitch, the rock still seeping that cold wetness in places, the clink of runners on harness echoing eerily, anxious and excited in equal measures. Every move pulling me further in to the history, the folklore, the magnificence of the route.
At the ledge at half height, I took a rest, looked out over the black lake below and across towards the black clouds moving in from the coast.
"Doing well youth" drifted up from below, those dry dulcet tones providing just the reassurance I needed.
The groove, the crack, and the moves right to the ledge, fingers cold, arms tiring, head trying to avoid premature feelings of success, slow studied movement - a shouted laugh from below "don't blow it now kid" drifted up and echoed around the black cliff.
And then, I was there, the top, wet grass, and wet cheeks from a few small tears of joy.
As I bought the dulcet tones from below up, I have to admit, I felt extremely bloody pleased with myself, and that fag, god that fag, tasted so so good, up there at the top of Great Wall, with the crows, the ravens, and the dream at last realised.

Up to 10% of the population sleeps with their eyes open or partially open. They don't actually see and recognize what's going on in front of them and it sure acts to creep other people out.
Medically known as nocturnal lagophthalmos, sleeping with your eyes open can be a temporary or permanent condition. Baby's sometimes sleep with their eyes open but usually outgrown this around their first year or so.
Some people can only close their eyes part way when the blink during the day so a part of their eye dries out. They have to use eye drops to keep their eyes lubricated.
While sleepwalkers are going about their nightly rounds, they too are sleeping with their eyes open, although their brain isn't really registering what is going on around them.
The real problem occurs when the eyes are left open regularly during sleep. The tears that are used to lubricate their eyes evaporate and the eyes dry out. Tears are used by the eyes to lubricate and to wash away debris like dust or pollen and they help kill off any bacteria that you may have been exposed to during the day.
Some of the problems that can develop include:
- Poor, shortened sleep due to sore and dry eyes
- Dust, dirt and other eye irritations are not cleaned out during the night
- Eyes can become inflamed
- Dry spots may develop on the cornea
- Blurred vision in the morning
Causes of Sleeping with Eyes Open include:
- Bell's Palsy – temporary loss of muscle control in the face
- Surgery
- Stroke
- Infection
- Alzheimer's
- Orbicularis muscle of your eyelid not functioning properly
- Runs in families
- Multiple sclerosis
- Face trauma from an accident
Treatments of sleeping with your eyes open must first involve treating any underlying condition that may be causing the problem. Some people wear a protective mask or eye patch to keep their eyes closed and others have used special medical tape to keep the eyelids shut. As a last resort to correct muscular damage, surgery has been used to implant weights to help hold down the eyelid.

I commend Mayor Robertson and his fellow Council members for taking a stand and passing on a rate increase for LP&L.
But last Wednesday's decision didn't come without a disclaimer that a rate increase may be inevitable. They say they are losing money because LP&L is buying electricity for more than it is selling it to customers.
Well I say, that's not the point.
Consider this:
LP&L has been very successful in recent years and as a result, profits rose and reserves became stable. Well now that electricity is more expensive, LP& L has had to use those funds to operate in order to keep rates low.
I say that is the way to continue. LP&L is now a monopoly, so it is more important than ever that any profits be returned to rate payers. The books should be balanced with either lower rates, the same rates, or rebates based on the energy climate at the time.
Right now, I'd say keep spending the profits to keep rates the same. Only when our profit balance is zero should we consider raising rates. I suppose a case could be made to use profits to also pay off debt, but raising rates should be taken very seriously and be a last resort.
Last week's decision is a great start for this council. Hopefully it is the first of many decisions that are based on what benefits the customers and voters that gave them the job.

|A lovely park for your outdoor event
The New Beginnings Park, situated between Port Charlotte United Methodist Church and St. James Episcopal Church on Viscaya Dr., has been in development since January 2005. It is a joint project of both churches to create a park for the churches and the surrounding community.
The Park is divided into roughly three Areas:
The Worship Area is the perfect place for weddings, baptisms, and communions, as well as small group training sessions, brown-bag lunches, musical events, etc. Benches for resting are situated throughout the Park and a brick pathway winds around the gazebo, connecting it to the sanctuary. In the future, the brick pathway will connect all Areas of the Park.
We invite you to visit the Park and visualize the possibilities for your outdoor event.
Parking for the public is available in the paved church lots to the north and south of the park, with formal entries through iron archways on both sides near the center of the Park.
There are no restroom facilities or potable water in the Park. However, arrangements can be made with either church's facilities during group rentals.

For me there is one glaring problem with this recipe and I'm annoyed with myself for not seeing it until the loaves were baking away: the lack of spices. I grated some nutmeg on top and sprinkled some cinnamon. Will try again with spices...it tastes bland without them. Nice and moist though.
Yogurt-Zucchini Bread with Walnuts
Photo: © Frances Janisch
This moist, nutty bread is a terrific way to use up late-summer zucchini. The walnuts in the bread are super-heart-healthy, and the yogurt adds moisture without any fat.
Yield: Makes one 9-inch loaf
How to Measure Flour
How to Toast Nuts
- 1 cup walnut halves (4 ounces)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup coarsely grated zucchini, from about 1 medium zucchini
- Preheat the oven to 325°. Butter and flour a 9-by-4 1/2-inch metal loaf pan. Spread the walnut halves in a pie plate and toast them for about 8 minutes, until they are fragrant. Transfer the toasted walnuts to a cutting board and coarsely chop them, then freeze for 5 minutes to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour with the baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a medium bowl, mix the sugar with the eggs, vegetable oil and fat-free yogurt. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients along with the grated zucchini and toasted walnuts and stir until the batter is evenly moistened. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes, until the loaf is risen and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the loaf cool on a rack for 30 minutes before unmolding and serving.

Vasilis Papatsarouchas
Greek visual artist and acclaimed book illustrator Vasilis Papatsarouchas is possibly one of Alice's most ardent enthusiasts, having repeatedly experimented with the famous Lewis Carroll text over the years. With his exceptionally strong relationship with the story that goes well back to his childhood years, Papatsarouchas is the proud owner of over 60 different editions of the book fervently collected from around the world. With his latest illustration project, he invites us along as he delves once again into Alice's magical land, where a world full of mystery, whimsy, symbolism and absurdity unfolds right before our eyes.
Vasilis Papatsarouchas has come to be known as a prolific and highly praised book illustrator. During the past fifteen years, more than fifty books bearing his illustrations have been published in Greece and abroad, including two Collector's Editions and four publications based on texts written by him. Among other distinctions, in 2004 he was awarded with the National Illustration Award for an adaptation of the classic 'Little Red Riding Hood', while in 2008 he was nominated for the prestigious Hans Christian Andersen Award, an award presented to a living author or illustrator whose complete works have made a lasting contribution to children's literature. But feeling he had unfinished business with his much-loved Alice, he revisited the story, creating a series of illustrations that accompany a new adaptation of the book published in late 2012 by Polaris. Following the success of the book, his illustrations were also presented in the exhibition 'DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE – A Journey with Alice in Wonderland' at the Stormy Gallery in Athens, Greece, whereby viewers outside of their original book format can continue to be mesmerized."
Vasilis Papatsarouchas
"The classic and well known story of 'Alice in Wonderland' is now visually recreated through his eyes following a more adult-oriented approach and interpretation that deviates from traditional children's book illustrations. This new adaptation features a series of captivating hand-drawn mixed-media illustrations embellished by a mature colour palette that intelligently juxtapose ghostly outlines and clear silhouettes with a delicate touch of exuberant block colours. Papatsarouchas ingeniously simplified the drawings by retaining the most important narrative elements in order to dictate and give form to the story. In his stripped-down version of Alice there is a clear focus on the characters, their actions and the effect they have on the reader, where the background environment and scenery are kept to an absolute minimum. Simple in their manifestation yet highly expressive, his drawings are narrative instances where the whimsical and the absurd are effortlessly paired together in an enticing game of dramatic visual poetry.
Full of allegories and symbolism, his drawings explore and portray Alice as the multi-layered story that it is. ''As a person I am instinctively inclined to look for multiple meanings and interpretations in whatever that is that I do. I like to look for and discover things..... The same applies for the way I work''. In this way, he creates drawings that tantalize the readers' imagination, playing with the way we see and interpret things and forms. This is effectively the very same effect that the story of Alice has on the reader and could very well be the reason why his attraction to this book is so profound.
The adventures of 'Alice in Wonderland' is certainly one of the most widely illustrated tales across various mediums. Vasilis Papatsarouchas however manages to offer a fresh perspective on the tale by creating a series of illustrations that equally captivate children and adults alike (just like the story itself). Arguably one of the most innovative attempts to bring the book to life ever presented, Papatsarouchas' work is a true testament to his love for the story and breaks away from conventional book illustrations. Immersed in a state of whimsical absurdity and oddness, his unique vision invites us to follow him down the rabbit hole for an unremitting adventure into the unknown. And just like Alice herself, we certainly can't say no."

Competitividade no sector automóvel e formas inovadoras de gestão do emprego em Portugal
[Competitivity in the Portuguese automotive sector and innovative forms of employment management]
AbstractIf indicators of international competitivity of the Portuguese industry reveal very strong weaknesses in the field of education and vocational training, the achievement of a solution is not based only (and should not!) in a decisive increase of investment and support in the education and training system. It seem not logical to think in that way, once normally when one tries to solve a problem that is done in the context of that same problem. Eventually there are other strategies. Which are, then, the fields where is necessary to orient the investiment to improve an industrial competitivity? To try to answer this question, we analise one of the sectors that have contributed the most for an improvement of the Portuguese economical performance, and for a true innovative process as in terms of industrial product, or in terms of manufacturing and distribution processes. Is the automotive sector where that happens, taken in its two most important sub-sectors: the one of automobile manufacturing and assembly, and the one of components manufacturing.

So you were a member of Ensidia? Or one of the other guilds pushing WORLD FIRSTS? No? Hmm, guess your guild was NOT the best. It may have been a fun place to be, with fun people, but unless you've got world or realm firsts, you're not in the best guild. Your attitude is that of the filthy Orc in the video complaining about everyone else and how bad they are. YOU are the kind of person I don't want next to me in the LFG queue, I'd rather have the under geared, poorly performing folks in half PvP gear, at least they usually have a better attitude than yours.
Go back to RIFT, or whatever other terrible game you went to, and leave the rest of us alone.
