Describe the company – the elevator pitch …
Cashaa is a p2p marketplace enabling zero fee cash transfer using cryptocurrency. We are matching cash senders` requests with cryptocurrency traders who can pick up and deliver cash locally in exchange for selling and buying cryptocurrency. We have launched in the end of January 2017, starting with transfer from London to India and Nigeria, which today are the largest receiving markets globally and in Africa.
We are the first cryptocurrency company that focuses on cash-to-cash transfer, which is the area in which most innovation was needed, as cash senders today are still using companies like Western Union, which takes high fees, 10-20%, most for transfer to the poorest countries.

How are you different?
We are giving cash senders and cryptocurrency traders several advantages:
For cryptocurrency traders, we solve the problem of exchanges being active in only one or few countries respectively, and offering limited payment methods. With us, traders can buy and sell internationally while getting paid locally in cash, which gives them more opportunities. Traders in London can sell for a higher price in India and Nigeria, and traders there can buy cheaply.
Making cash transfer the new purpose of cryptocurrency trading means a huge liquidity increase for the traders, who before only traded for speculation purposes.
See additional benefits here:
Cash senders pay absolutely zero fees – they give cash to a trader in London and get the exactly same amount delivered in local currency:
As Cashaa takes part of traders` profit only, we can give the service for free to the cash sender. This gives us the following positioning:
The process for the cash sender is simple, they do not have to know anything about cryptocurrency, they only need to put up a cash transfer request, so local cryptocurrency traders can make their bid.
We give cash senders a better and transparent exchange rate compared to what they get elsewhere, and our service works without a smartphone, bank account, credit card, mobile money or even internet connection for the receiver, which enables us to reach everyone. We also give them the flexibility to meet the local traders in any public place they agree on, which makes us more convenient than having to queue in a shop.

Why will the company / product do well?
Cashaa is a unique idea to leverage the untapped potential of bringing together the $60bn/year cryptocurrency trading industry together with the $240bn/year cash transfer industry in a way that creates a win-win model for everyone. Using cryptocurrency for money transfer to developing countries has long been a frequently-mentioned topic, but for the first time we solve the problem of how to convert cryptocurrency to local currency at the recipient's end, by using local, independent traders and exchanges.
We have extensively tested our product before launch, and have already been proven highly attractive for cryptocurrency traders in that time, with in the first 90 days of testing only, over 7000 traders signed up in 119 countries and transferred over $1m, numbers which are constantly increasing until today. We over the past half year created a brand in the cryptocurrency community, and regularly get requests of people asking us to launch in their country.
Where are you based?
We are based in Level39 Technology Accelerator, Canary Wharf, London.
When was the company launched?
The company was founded in June 2016, and we launched the service in the end of January 2017.
What have been your biggest wins to date?
Now we have over 11000 traders, who transferred over 2100 Bitcoin/$2.3m in 130 countries – while cash transfer is possible from London to India and Nigeria, using us as trading platform is possible globally.
What type of people (market segment) are you trying to attract to your product?
We are targeting the typical customers of companies like Western Union, individuals who are sending small, regular amounts from places like London to their family in their home country. According to the World Bank, they today send on average 250 $ and lose 15-30 $ in fees.
Tell us about your team?
Cashaa consists of a leadership team of 5 people, and our technology team consists of experts from Auxesis Group, a blockchain development company based at IIT Bombay, India. Cashaa`s founder & CEO is Kumar Gaurav, who is also a popular speaker on blockchain related topics in the UK and internationally. He is also the Founding Director of Auxesis Group, which he founded in 2014 and which works with startups, banks and other organisations in India and internationally. We also partnered with Coinfirm, which provides us compliance services & KYC.
What are your long term plans for your product / company?
We are looking to become a market leader in the cash to cash market and are launching our other products like cash to bank and bank to bank transfer coming this and next year. We started with cash to cash transfer, and when including bank transfers, too, we can equally reach the banked and unbanked masses, which together is a market of $600bn/year.
We are expecting that with our unique and clear value proposition we can achieve a huge customer base.
What are your favourite tech gadgets? What tech gadgets do you wish you could use to help you?
Cashaa`s speciality is actually that it works without any tech gadgets. Most people in India and Africa do not even have a smartphone, but only a normal mobile phone. Cashaa works with a simple passcode, like Western Union. For new technology to be successful, it has to be useful for people in their everyday lives, who can not afford or do not care about the latest fancy gadgets.
Anything else you'd like to add / we should have asked?
Cryptocurrency traders in large cities can easily get many requests through Cashaa, so they can treat being a Cashaa trader like running an own business or just buying Bitcoin and cheaper from us than exchanges and reselling it through cash or bank transfer.
How do people get in touch with you?
You can contact us @CashaaLtd or [email protected]

I'm sorry to see that you've chosen BSD / Allman style bracing. I am one of those people who prefer K&R / 1TBS — I hate vertical scrolling. I wouldn't mind accomodating other styles as much if I could set bracing in VS on a per-solution basis, but AFAIK that can't be done.
Anyway … no big deal and no desire to start a Religious War. Just had to throw this one out there ;-)

Hi Joseph, in [1] section 4.2.10 there is stated: "4.2.10: Password derivation: Unclear what it means, strike from requirements." I guess I have an idea: Currently, I'm implementing an XML-Signature/Encryption-based KeyStore (for all the non-Java-Folks, a file which collects encrypted Keys, Certificates etc). The keys which are used in EncryptedData elements must be derived from user-supplied passwords. This means that a mechanism like the one defined in PKCS12 is used to derive a literal key from a used-supplied passphrase (or in Java lingo, to create a byte[] key from a char[] passphrase). Question: How could this be incorporated into XML Encryption? Example: I want to use #kw-aes256 for wrapping an RSA private key, and the AES 256 bit key should be derived from a user-supplied pass phrase. Do I simply say nothing and let the application decide where to get the AES key from?

Turnbo Home | Table of Contents | Keyword Search| Bibliography | Biography
By S. C. Turnbo
Among the stories of the early days of Ozark County, Mo., Is a brief account given by John Herd of the first settlement made at Isabella, Mo. Mr. Herd is a son of Marlin and Ruthy (Briggs) Herd and was born in Marion County, Tennessee, March 18 1834. He came to Arkadelphia, Ark., when he was quite young and after living there a short time he came to Ozark County, Mo., where he has spent the greater part of his life. He married Miss Malinda Forest, the youngest daughter of old Uncle Jimmie Forrest. He says that the ground where the small hamlet of Isabella now stands was first settled by Squire Hunter who built a cabin in 40 paces of the spring in the head of the hollow. One mile north of Isabella is where Noel Hutchison lived which was settled by Ben Bray. Mr. Herd said that the land where the village stands was once a glade or a small spot of prairie. A large post oak tree with part of the top broke off stood on this ground long before any settlement was made here and long afterward. This tree was covered with a fine cluster of wild grapevines which bore fine grapes of the summer variety almost every year. This tree when the grapes were ripe was a famed one among the hunters on account of so many wild turkeys stopping here to fill themselves on the grapes and the hunters would shoot them while they were in the tree. Squire Hunter built his hut near this tree but its nearness to Mr. Hunters domicile did not prevent the turkeys from approaching the tree in grape time. "I well recollect," said Mr. Herd, "that before Hunter built his house here a dim pathway lead near this tree and when I was married I sold a fine black white-faced cow that was very fat for a $10 gold piece and I give the money to Henry Bratton who sold goods where the Dick Martin spring Is for cooking vessels and other things for I and wife to keep house with. I recollect the day I went to Mr. Brattons to make my purchase of the things mentioned I passed by this tree and saw a large flock of wild turkeys there filling up on grapes, five of which was sitting in the top of the tree."
Since writing the above Mrs. Malinda Herd, wife of John Herd, died January 31, 1907, and was buried in the cemetery at Isabella.

David Mirvish likes his cookies just like his art: abstract. And when it comes to looks, this cookie — a classic Christmas treat in bite-size form — certainly delivers a lot of visual interest.
Mirvish and his art made headlines earlier this year when he acknowledged falling prey to aNew York art dealer's fraud. Three of his "Jackson Pollocks" turned out to be fake.
That wasn't the only time the theatre empresario — or his family — made the paper. Sadly, his motherAnne Lazare Mirvish, 94, died this fall and, around the same time, Mirvish learned his project to erect a Frank Gehry-designed mixed-use complex on King St. W. was headed to the Ontario Municipal Board in January.
The Mirvish family's iconic business, Honest Ed's, also made headlines this year when it was sold to Westbank properties; the developers behind University Ave.'s Shangri-La Hotel.
Like actual fruitcake, this cookie is substantial and dense, mild and satisfying. It is adapted from a Martha Stewart recipe and boasts hearty chunks of fig, glace cherry and walnuts.
Fruitcake cookie
In medium mixing bowl, stir together figs, raisins, cherries, walnuts, sherry, honey, lemon juice and salt. Let sit at room temperature for two hours, up to overnight.
In large mixing bowl using electric mixer, cream together butter, cloves, both sugars and egg. Add flour to mixture in batches. Using wooden spoon, or with your hands, add dried fruit mixture to butter-flour mixture and combine into crude, crumbly dough.
On parchment-lined tray, mould about two large handfuls of dough into one, 8 inch, by 1-1/2 inch log. Repeat with rest of dough to form about four logs.
Chill in refrigerator at least two hours, up to overnight. Cut each log into 1-inch cookies and place about 1 inch (2.5 cm.) apart on baking sheet lined with clean parchment paper. Bake in preheated 350F (180C) oven until desired doneness, about 15 to 20 minutes until golden.
Cool on baking sheet 10 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to one week or freeze up to one month.
Makes about 70 cookies.

14. Elizabeth Ames to Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes, typed, typed, 16 September 1959, 1 p.
In addition to the correspondence are miscellaneous items, all worth a mention. They hold two copies of Plath's application, which stretches to three pages and includes:
I. Name and address
II. Brief biographical note
III. Plans for work done at Yaddo
IV. Fellowships and awards
V. References (John Sweeney and Philip Booth)
VI. Preferred dates to visit Yaddo
They also have typed "file" notes by anonymously acronymed people - R. E., J. C. , and M. D. Z. R. E. I think is Richard Eberhardt. J. C. may be John Cheever. M. D. Z. I think is Morton Dauwen Zabel. At any rate, M. D. Z.'s comments on Plath are particularly interesting.
The New York Public Library is online here. The section of the library you'll want to contact is the Manuscript & Archives division. The finding aid to the Yaddo Records is online here. The Plath materials are in Box 276 (page 79 of the finding aid). To contact the archives, email mssref at nypl dot org.

Woolly Boo was a new find for me, and I was so impressed with their commitment to high quality organic wool and cotton products. Their travel pillows for kids are definitely going on my must-have list for our next trip.
Their organic bedding was so luxurious. The sleep sack is available in several different fabric choices, and I like that you can get one that matches your baby's bedding.

I grew up playing soccer in the days when every business got behind a team.
I played for "Ray's Meat" - a local butcher shop.
I played for "Dj's variety" - the corner store with just about everything you can imagine in it.
I played for "Fraser's" - the men's clothing and suit store.
And, probably my favourite..."Godfathers" - the local pizza shop in town.
The busineses hung team pictures of us in their shop windows, and sometimes, if we were really good, they treated us to a pizza or a pop.
It really was all about community and it seemed like everyone knew when it was game day - a friendly wager between shops wasn't unheard-of.
This season, Free Footie is trying to get back to that idea.
We are making it affordable for anyone to support a team.
For $1000 you can cover the cost of soccer for an entire team - that's 30 kids in need who otherwise wouldn't be playing.
In return, we'll proudly put your company or group logo on that team's jerseys and you are now the owner of your very own soccer team.
We're hoping that you'll have a little fun with it too - maybe challenge a shop beside you to sponsor a team, come out and cheer your team on at games, or invite the kids to your business to see what you do.
We'd love for you to be the next "Godfathers" or "Ray's Meat" :)
Please head to the donation page for more specifics or send an email: email@example.com
All the best, Tim

30 July 2014
The two-year project being launched this week in Bluff will see local government, the primary sector, iwi, central government, and business working together on tools for understanding the economics of managing water quality in Southland. The project is part of Water and Land 2020 & Beyond, which is how Environment Southland will be implementing the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management in Southland.
The Southland Economic Project is a joint initiative between Environment Southland, DairyNZ, Beef and Lamb New Zealand, Te Ao Marama, Ministry for Primary Industries, Department of Conservation and the Southland Chamber of Commerce. It will develop the tools for understanding how future policy options to manage water quality in catchments could impact our economy and communities.
Environment Southland Chairman Ali Timms says the project is about agreeing on how to get the right economic picture for Southland so we can use it in decision-making. "This project is not about deciding outcomes, but working out how we get there. We are investing in the tools now for use in future decision-making around the setting of catchment limits. It's critical that we do this the right way for the community," she said.
Beef + Lamb New Zealand Southern South Island Director, Andrew Morrison said the sheep and beef sector made a significant economic contribution to the region and it was working to ensure its impact was environmentally sustainable.
"Beef + Lamb New Zealand is committed to working alongside Environment Southland and others to make sure Southlanders continue to enjoy the economic benefits sheep and beef farming brings, while preserving the region's special environment."
DairyNZ senior economist Matthew Newman said, "We welcome the initiative of a joint and collaborative approach on such a complex issue as water quality. Everyone agrees that water quality is essential – the question is what impact different policies have on the Southland economy and the well-being of our communities. Our experience is that working on a joint venture and taking the time to do the analysis properly leads to much better outcomes for everyone involved. It is an opportunity to ensure the analysis is robust, backed by the expertise of industry groups."
For Ngai Tahu Sir Tipene O'Regan stated, "Our interest in this Economic Project is two part: as citizens of the community but also very much on the question of our mahika kai. Our kids are in schools, we are workers, we are business leaders, we are fishing, and some of us are farming. Water quality, especially in the estuaries, and the health and access to resources are critical for our culture and our place. It is at the heart of our identity and who we as a people."
Barry Hanson, Director Conservation Partnerships for the Department of Conservation, said "It's great to be sitting at the table where the factors that drive Southland's economy are being discussed and researched."
At a local level, Sarah Hannan, Southland Chamber of Commerce CEO, commented "We appreciate the value and competitive advantage our natural resources provide for many local industries. This project provides a great opportunity to work together to ensure we fulfil the region's economic potential while still looking after our quality of life and our environment."
Recent Government studies indicated that the direct economic costs of managing land use for water quality in Southland could have considerable impact on the regional economy over the short-medium term. However, as the economy meets environmental constraints the longer term picture is less clear. "There will be challenges for the region and we need to turn them into opportunities" said Ms Timms. "This Project is a major investment in Southland's future."
The Government's National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management requires regional councils to maintain and improve overall water quality within a region and to set catchment limits. Tools developed within the Southland Economic Project will be used to investigate the impacts of policy options for catchment limits.
For more information please contact Environment Southland Director Policy, Planning and Regulatory Services Vin Smith on 03 211 5115 or 0800 76 88 45.

Home > Phone Reviews > HTC Trophy
What's hot: Solid first Windows Phone 7 smartphone for Verizon. World phone with GSM roaming. Great gaming and multimedia.
What's not: Usual Windows Phone 7 issues to be addressed in OS 7.5 Mango (no multi-tasking, etc.).
Reviewed May 25, 2011 by Lisa Gade, Editor
in Chief (twitter: @lisagade)
We like Windows Phone 7, even if it's off to a slow start. It's fun and easy to use, and surprisingly gifted at gaming thanks to XBOX titles and music and video thanks to Zune. This is Verizon's first Windows Phone 7 smartphone, and like all other Windows 7 phones, it sticks with the standard specs that including a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU, 16 gig of storage, an 800 x 480 capacitive multi-touch display, Bluetooth, a GPS that works with Bing Maps and 802.11b/g/n.
Like all Windows 7 phones, the HTC trophy is responsive and quick. It plays videos with ease, has good music quality and top notch 2D and 3D gaming with a great selection of titles. You can load your own music or try out the Zune service that offers a monthly $15 subscription plan that includes 10 DRM-free MP3 tracks you'll get to keep each month. The phone supports Neflix (that's another standard Windows Phone 7 feature), which is a big plus.

HTC Trophy Video Review

It's a solid choice though, with HTC's pleasing styling and build quality, good speed and world GSM roaming capabilities.

Writer to Writer: Zachary Lazar and Dana Spiotta
Thursday May 15, 2014
07:00 pm
|Photo credit: Deborah Luster | Photo credit: Jessica Marx
Dana Spiotta, author of Stone Arabia, interviewed Zachary Lazar on his latest novel, I Pity the Poor Immigrant - part crime story, part spiritual quest - set in Israel, New York, and Las Vegas. The event included a reading, discussion, author Q&A, and wine reception.
About I Pity the Poor Immigrant (Little, Brown and Company)
In 1972, the American gangster Meyer Lansky petitions the Israeli government for citizenship. His request is denied, and he is returned to the U.S. to stand trial. He leaves behind a mistress in Tel Aviv, a Holocaust survivor named Gila Konig.
In 2009, American journalist Hannah Groff travels to Israel to investigate the killing of an Israeli writer. She soon finds herself inside a web of violence that takes in the American and Israeli Mafias, the Biblical figure of King David, and the modern state of Israel. As she connects the dots between the murdered writer, Lansky, Gila, and her own father, Hannah becomes increasingly obsessed with the dark side of her heritage. Part crime story, part spiritual quest, I Pity the Poor Immigrant is also a novelistic consideration of Jewish identity.
"I Pity the Poor Immigrant is work of intricate and precise mystery, a book that is like a bold monument in an empty desert, a thing built of dread, and silences, and dazzling elegance, by a worldly and masterful hand."
— Rachel Kushner, author of 2013 National Book Award finalist The Flamethrowers

Wheel Stitches - Crochet Tip #53
It is not necessary to use the stitch in a demonstration. Maybe you do not want to use a triple crochet so you can use a double crochet instead.
I would recommend doing a pattern swatch to work through your modified version, prior to starting your project. You will want to make sure the modified version is going lay flat and look right. This will give you a small piece to practice through any errors and become familiar with the new modified version prior to starting your project. We all know how disappointing it is to rip because of an error.
NOTE: I have seen the wheel stitch go by several different names which is not unusual for most crochet stitches. The common one is Catherine's Wheel. It also goes by Harlequin Stitch and Jumbo Pinwheel.

My classes (!) start this week so busy starts now for me too. I hope I can cope. But what I really want to say is that that lens and you are a match made in heaven. Really! You make your city look so beautiful. I get wanting to go (trust me, I do), but staying seems okay, too.ReplyDeleteReplies
i have no doubts about your classes! i know they will be wonderful - but yeah, the keeping up with it all, that's the tricky part. (i do love my new lens. i really need to go out on a real date with it soon!). xoDelete
"There are times (several times a day really) that I think of moving abroad or picking up and being a vagabond...But sometimes I look out over my city and I feel an all encompassing and overwhelming since of being home, familiarity, and love, really." Girl, PREACH. It's like you can read my mind. I have this exact struggle on a daily basis. I want to pick up everything and move abroad, sell off everything but the necessities, and then I'll be out running errands and something about Philly, the city I've lived in my entire life and have more or less taken for granted, will stop me in my tracks, and I think, I can't ever leave home. Sigh. We don't even have those striking vistas you have! I imagine that makes it more intense. xoReplyDeleteReplies
since/sense why can i only edit myself after i hit the publish button? it's like some weird form of self-sabotage.Delete
i think i will always have that struggle. before (long ago) when i was running from here and coming back and running off again every time i'd return i'd think 'this truly is one of the most beautiful places in the world.' and of course it's home. feeling at home is always a beautiful thing. xo
ohmy! that fog lifting off the city is just like... magic!ReplyDelete
so it's a good busy, right? well, there's always a transitional period whenever a new variable is added, but as you mentioned, it just takes some time. i trust you'll find that balance.
also, yeay for birthday weeks!! xoReplies
it is a good busy . . . if i keep my head down don't look around my house ;) i do think it will balance out. but for now i am just basking in the forced structure of it all. it's like they say about kids - they love structure and routines - i think it's true for adults too! xoDelete
when work takes over life i often hope for just one hour more of sleep. but then, when i'm on holiday for a week with no work to do at all, i can't stand it either. i need to do something. so i guess, busy is better. hhaa. i hope you have some relax time between your busier schedule.ReplyDelete
that photos are magic!Replies
so true. before my kids started school i couldn't sleep past 6 am, now when the alarm goes off at 6:30 i feel like i could sleep for hours (weekends i am back up at 6!).Delete
and thank you!
Happy birth week! And I totally understand about running away somewhere. I'm throwing my hobo pack on Ryon's back some day and just riding off into the sunset, care to join?ReplyDeleteReplies

can I come too???Delete
yes! now if only my pony mr. twinkletoes were around.Delete
- AnonymousJanuary 27, 2015 at 2:05 AM
I hear you. structure can be a good thing, especially when you are working for yourself and are a bit of an introvert getting caught up in your own head. happy birthday week xoxoReplyDelete
Beautiful photos! I love that feeling, when you are very busy, good-busy, enjoying what you do and feeling content, and you appreciate so much more the spare moments, when you can reward yourself with something that gives you great pleasure, like going for a walk and taking pictures.ReplyDeleteReplies
thank you ada! i am really enjoying the structure and it's been a good little bounce back into it. i think i'll be able to utilize that aspect of my re-introduction to structure even after my classes are over and my only deadlines are self-imposed ones (at least that's my hope!).Delete
Wow, that view, such gorgeous photos, the fog seems so calming to look down on. Have a lovely birthday week!ReplyDelete
beautiful photos!!ReplyDelete

BANGOR, Maine — There was an undeniable nip in the air along the Penobscot River with the temperature hovering just above 30 degrees, but the atmosphere was bright and warm inside the big white tent set up for the Fusion 2012 Awards Extravaganza.
"I was skeptical myself," said Matthew McLaughlin, a program coordinator for the Bangor Region Chamber of Commerce. "I mean a tent on the waterfront in the middle of November in Maine, but it came together really nicely."
This wasn't the first annual awards event for Fusion — the Chamber's Bangor area networking group of younger residents formed to engage with the community and transform the Bangor region into a preferred place to live, work and play in Maine.
An estimated 150 people dressed up and turned out for the event catered by local businesses — such as Street Bistro, The Maine Traveling Chef and Sweetest Thing — and held to honor finalists and winners in three categories: the Downtown Proud Vitalization Award, the Innovator of the Year Award, and the Fusion Leadership and Vision Award (FLAVA).
George Kinghorn, director and curator of the University of Maine Museum of Art and president of the Downtown Bangor Partnership, won the FLAVA award; Eric Mihan, owner of Bangor Wine and Cheese, was named the innovator of the year; and Betsy and Zeth Lundy, owners of Central Street Farmhouse, won the vitalization award.
"I think trying to enhance the aesthetic quality of downtown and being forward-thinking has played into the revived attitude downtown," said Kinghorn. "In the last four years, we've seen an increase of 238 percent in visitations, so that to me underscores the notion that Bangor really can be a destination for tourists."
The other finalists were Julia Munsey, Oxford Networks marketing and public relations specialist, and Dan Cashman, who produces and hosts The Nite Show, which airs in Maine and New Hampshire on Saturday nights.
The Lundys have used their business — which caters to a do-it-yourself clientele and features instruction and materials for beer brewing, wine making, cloth diaper use, baby supplies and natural foods — to encourage revitalization downtown by constructing a pocket park green space next door to their business.
"I think this is a combination of recognition and personal pride," said Betsy Lundy. "It's nice to know your efforts are appreciated."
"I hope we sent a message that it's OK to take a risk and open a boutique or specialty store or restaurant downtown," said Zeth Lundy.
Joining the Lunds as finalists were Abe and Heather Furth — owners of Woodman's Bar and Grill and Verve Burritos in Orono who bought properties at 89 and 91 Main St. to redevelop and revitalize as apartments and a future expansion site for Verve — and Gene Beck's Nocturnem Draft Haus, which has elevated Bangor's beer-drinking and beer-making community.
Mihan was absent from Thursday's event, ironically because he had to work.
"Eric's done a lot of innovative work with his wine underground classes to bring people in and show them different things about wine," said McLaughlin. "He does a lot of wine tastings, which he's hosting tonight and the reason he couldn't come."
The other finalists for the innovator award were Gibran Graham, president of BangPop!, which sponsors and coordinates events such as the Kid Central Festival, West Market Festival, and SnowCon Gaming Convention; and Jeff Spaulding, an attorney at Eaton Peabody who runs the Innovative Enterprise Program for startup businesses.

Rio Olympics men's 50 km Race Walk bronze medalist Hirooki Arai followed up with Japan's first silver medal of the London World Championships, leading teammate Kai Kobayashi to a Japanese double medal haul. Far behind the championships record pace set by eventual gold medalist Yohann Diniz of France, Arai, Kobayashi and teammate Satoshi Maruo all sat together in the chase pack through 15 km. Maruo began to drop back approaching 20 km, but Arai and Kobayashi stayed up front through 35 km before making a break that took them all the way to silver and bronze medal finishes 2 seconds apart just over 8 minutes behind Diniz. Maruo fought his way back through the pack, ultimately finishing 5th just over a minute and a half behind his medalist teammates.
On paper the men's 20 km crew had the potential to repeat the 50 km results, but it wasn't to be. One by one Rio Olympics 7th placer Daisuke Matsunaga and world #2 and #3-ranked Eiki Takahashi and Isamu Fujisawa slipped off the back of the pack. Fujisawa ended up with the top Japanese spot at 11th in 1:20:04, one minute out of the medals. Takahashi was 32 seconds behind him in 14th. Matsunaga wound up in serious trouble, weaving and staggering over the final few laps before finishing 38th another 3 minutes back. Lone female race walker Kumiko Okada couldn't better her male teammates, off the pack within the first 5 km and ultimately taking 18th almost 5 minutes out of bronze.

Modern Meanings This all holds to dissatisfy critics who were brought up to respect the artistry of screenplays. A major focus in reviews deals with the story. Even though some people have always discredited the merits of an original screenplay because many screenplays were born during shooting, the screenplay has still been held up as the cradle to a successful film. The change is that more movies are beginning to take development in the editing room because of the nature of their dense shooting pattern. Cinematographers, editors and directors are becoming the true storytellers of film. It makes for the unlikely situation that many movies today are impossible to map out in a script.
I think the problem with screenplays is that they seem like they were written for businessmen.
I think there needs to be changes. Screenplays need to take a lot from plays because they are better for description, but they also need to go further. When Bernard Shaw wrote Pygmallion for the screen he incorporated the short story structure to detail the visual shots a film has in between scenes. Then screenplays need to find better terminology to shorten the identification of camera angles within a scene. Right now they are just too obtrusive for straight reading.

Following the footsteps of its investors- Alibaba and its affiliate Ant Financial Group, Paytm has partnered with financial institutions to start its service of lending money to vendors and consumers on its platform. The company aims to disburse small loans to 500 million individuals and enterprises by 2020.
Just like Ant Financial's model, loans on Paytm's platform could be borrowed using debit cards.
Commenting on the development, the company's Founder, Vijay Shekhar Sharma said, "It is amazing that in China they disburse billions of dollars of loans. We have learned that model can work here. That is why we are excited about it and will continue with it."
The company is aggressively increasing the number of merchants on its marketplace, and claims to get about 110,000 vendors on board by the end of the year. Further, it also maintains that the number will shoot up to 1 million over the years.
The year 2015, has been quite abuzz with the news of Paytm's strategic moves. For example, in the month of August, Paytm made a strategic investment in NDTV Gadgets 360. Within the same span of time, it entered into a multi-level partnership with mobile advertisement platform InMobi. Going further, the mCommerce company managed to receive a license from the Reserve Bank of India to set up a payments bank. As per the regulations, the license would be valid for 18 months, a time frame within which the company has to comply with the requirements under the Payments Banks Guidelines and fulfill other conditions as issued by RBI. And last but not the least, a couple of days ago, it acquired Near.in, a hyperlocal on demand home service provider, with an intention to gain a foothold on the O2O segment.
The moves made by Paytm are clearly vocal of its serious attempts to establish its presence across sectors. The company is taking lessons from Alibaba and strategically employing them in the Indian market. The growth trajectory of Paytm has been impressive- starting as a mobile wallet, it went on to capturing the mCommerce space and now with its entry into the online money lending service, it is clearly geared up to make its presence felt in the Fin-tech sector as well.

Wanting to eliminate dental health issues before they become problematic? Preventative dentistry may be right for you! Preventative dentistry is used to describe dental procedures like cleaning and exams that provide preventative maintenance to your overall oral health. Just like cars needing oil changes and tire rotations, preventative dentistry can help you avoid costly dental procedures further down the road.
A comprehensive dental exam will be performed by Dr. Heather Shick, DMD at your initial dental visit. At regular check-up exams, Dr. Shick and your hygienist will include the following:
Examination of diagnostic x-rays: X-rays are essential for finding deficiencies with your oral health. These areas include tooth decay, oral tumors, cysts, and bone loss. X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions within the mouth.
Oral cancer screenings: Dr. Shick will check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.
Gum disease evaluation: Dr. Shick will check your gums and bone surrounding your teeth for any signs of periodontal disease.
Examination of tooth decay: Dr. Shick will check all tooth surfaces for tooth decay and cavities.
Examination of existing restorations: Dr. Shick will check all current fillings, dental crowns, dental bridges.
Professional dental cleanings (dental prophylaxis) are performed in office by our Registered Dental Hygienists (Patricia Stennerson and Kristen Mazza). Your cleaning appointment will include a dental exam and the following:
Removal of tartar (calculus): Tooth tartar is hardened plaque that has been left on the tooth for an extended time and is now attached to the tooth surface. Tartar forms above and below the gum line and can only be removed with special dental instruments.
Removal of plaque: Plaque is a sticky, almost invisible film that forms on your teeth. It is a growing colony of living bacteria, food debris, and saliva. The bacteria produces toxins that inflame the gums. This inflammation is the start of periodontal disease.
Teeth polishing: Remove stain and plaque that is not otherwise removed during brushing and scaling.
Dental sealants and fillings are two very common preventative dentistry procedures. While the procedures are different, they are both designed to prevent your tooth from experiencing significant decay that could lead to an extraction or root canal.
In addition, digital x-rays are often used during a routine cleaning and dental exam to look for any problems that may be occurring that a patient is not even aware of. Just like in any other area of your health, early detection is key to ensuring your oral health stays intact.
During your preventative dentistry consultation, the dental professional and assistant will carefully examine the tooth or teeth to be treated and may order x-rays or other scans if a deeper look is necessary. Throughout this time, the dentist will explain their findings as well as help to formulate a treatment plan so that you can have the smile you've always wanted.
Our Patient centered approach is focused on ensuring that every patient enjoys a positive and gentle dental care experience.
Our wide-ranging service offerings, including Preventative Dentistry, makes us a one-stop destination for your dental care needs.
Our commitment to providing affordable dental care for our patients by offering financing options and an innovative membership plan.
Our technological capabilities bring the latest advances in dental care technology to benefit our patients.

CURATING MY COLLECTION: The St. Francis Collage
One of the biggest and most expensive pieces of art in my collection is a framed mixed media (acrylic and collage) portrait of St. Francis of Assisi (right) by an unknown folk artist.
This work came into my possession from an auction several years ago. I had previewed the work online before the auction and from the pictures was intrigued by the medium as I myself had dabbled in collage. However, I arrived at the auction with my friend lifelong Lynda after the preview hours and was unable to get an up close look at the item before it went on the block.
When the item did come up for sale, I got caught up in the bidding and was goaded by Lynda to keep raising my card. In the end, I won – at a price point MUCH higher than I was comfortable spending on an uninspected work of art by an unknown artist.
Upon closer inspection, we realized just how big the masterpiece was (3'x5') and how heavy it was – the work was mounted on wood and has a thick frame. We also noticed the collage pieces were all pictures of animals (St. Francis is the patron saint of animals) sourced from magazines and the painted parts were amateurish at best. It was not, at first blush, the amazing piece of folk art we thought it was. We joked about how we were fooled into thinking it was a fine work of pop art that could be flipped for much more cash in a New York gallery.
However, in the intervening years, my St. Francis has taken on a prime position in my house and I have grown to love it as a true work of folk art that took the artist a lot of time and patience to complete. And I am convinced were I ever to sell it, I could easily recoup what I spent on it – but that will never happen.
I have tried to research the little I know about the provenance of the work but have come up dry. However, as St. Francis has been a very popular subject for art over the centuries, there is a lot out there about all the works inspired by him. Recently I came across an image of a painting by 13th century Italian master Cimabue which I am convinced was the inspiration if not the model for my treasured work. St. Francis was a popular subject for Cimabue and this work (right) could very well be what inspired my mystery artist to create my most prized possession.

10 Relaxation Techniques To Relieve Stress
When things get stressful, it is common to feel overwhelmed, both physically and mentally. You may struggle with frustration, anger, depression and even fatigue. In times like these, relaxation techniques come in handy to help you relieve stress. Most of them can be used any time, any place, whenever stress may arise.
Benefits Of Relaxation Techniques
Relaxation techniques can benefit you mentally, emotionally and physically. They can take the edge off and help you feel more confident and able to deal with life's obstacles. With these techniques, you can learn to calm yourself and think more rationally and clearly. Additionally, relaxation techniques can reduce the physical symptoms of stress, such as:
- High blood pressure
- Chronic pain
- Muscle tension
- Increased breathing and heart rates
Relaxation Techniques
There are a variety of relaxation techniques, so choose the one that works best for you. You can even combine relaxation techniques if more than one is suitable for you. Here is a list of some of the techniques that help to reduce your stress:
1) Progressive Muscle Relaxation
This is a very common technique that can put you in a deep state of relaxation. All you have to do is tense and relax your muscles. Starting with your toes, tense the muscles for 5 to 10 seconds and then relax them for 30 seconds. Then, tense and relax the muscles in your feet. Work your way up to your face, or you can begin with your face and work down to your toes.
2) Body Scan Meditation
Body scan meditation is similar to progressive muscle relaxation. But instead of tensing and relaxing your muscles, you are going to focus on the different sensations that your body feels. First, start with your breathing. Focus on it for about two minutes and then focus on that breath flowing into your toes. Picture that breath flowing into your feet, legs, etc., on up to your face.
3) Visualization
In this technique, you are supposed to visualize yourself in a tranquil, serene location such as the beach, a tropical island or a log cabin in the mountains. Or, picture yourself having a positive experience, like spending time with family, going on a fantasy shopping trip or traveling to your favorite destination. Whatever relaxes you is what you should visualize. While visualizing, try to involve as many of your senses as possible. What does the place look like? What sounds do you hear? What scents do you smell?
4) Autogenic Relaxation
This technique combines progressive muscle relaxation, visualization and body scan meditation. To begin, imagine yourself in a relaxing place or situation. Then, focus on your breathing or heart rate as you would in body scan meditation. Or, focus on tensing and relaxing your muscles as you would in progressive muscle relaxation.
5) Deep Breathing
For this technique, place one hand on your chest and one hand on your stomach. Breathe in through your nose and then exhale as much air as possible through your mouth. When inhaling, your stomach should rise but pull in when exhaling. The reverse should happen with your chest. Continue breathing for five to 10 minutes or until you feel relaxed. (see: Breathing Exercises For Stress Management.)
6) Meditation
Deep breathing is actually the main component for meditation, so once you have deep breathing down pat, you can move on to more advanced forms of meditation where you contemplate a question or focus attention on one part of your body. To enhance the experience, you can put soothing music on and get into comfortable clothes. If you are in a place where you can't do that, make sure you can find a quiet space in which to meditate.
7) Mindfulness
If you'd like to continue on the path of meditation, you can always practice mindfulness meditation, which requires you to gaze steadily at what's in front of you while you let your thoughts flow freely through your mind. If you aren't in a place where you can meditate, you can still practice mindfulness by being aware of your thoughts and surroundings in the present moment. Observe what's going on around you – but don't judge it. Simply observe others, your thoughts, your breathing with an open mind. This technique can be especially helpful if you often find yourself worrying about stressful situations and events; mindfulness can help put your mind at ease.
8) Massage
There's nothing more relaxing than a massage, so ask your significant other to give you a good back rub to reduce your stress. Or, treat yourself to a massage at a nice spa. You may even want to invest in a massage chair if that is your preferred method of relaxation.
9) Tai Chi
Tai Chi is a low-impact exercise that involves slow, graceful movements. Tai Chi is beneficial mentally as it rejuvenates the mind and can improve your sense of well-being. In fact, Tai Chi is often referred to as "meditation in motion." Tai Chi can also improve your balance and flexibility as well as build your muscle strength.
10) Yoga
Yoga is another relaxing exercise that can also clear your mind. If you don't already practice it, you may want to sign up for a local class or find an instructional DVD with which to teach yourself some of the basic moves.
Don't be afraid to customize your setting while employing your chosen technique. You can listen to soothing music, put on comfortable clothes, light some candles or even take a bath if it will help you get to a deeper state of relaxation. To get the most out of your relaxation technique, practice it every day for 10 to 20 minutes. That way, when a stressful situation arises, you'll be able to face it head on.

May 14th, 2019. Interior, Unique Wall Decor Ideas.
There are a number of unique wall decor ideas around which can make a tremendous difference to your living space. One of the most popular to be enjoying resurgence at the moment is to have a feature wall with striking wallpaper. The fashion for plain walls seems to be passing and so you can express yourself with patterns, stripes and flowers if you wish. However, before you decide on a pattern, take a careful look at what you already have in the room. For example, if you have a patterned sofa and curtains, be careful as to what you choose for your wallpaper as you don't want to make your room appear too 'busy'. Stripes in subtle colors work well with most existing patterns within a room or if you have plain designs everywhere else, you can really go to town on your feature wall! Think bold designs with a background color which will match with everything else. Another unique wall décor idea is to transform a plain wall with the addition of pictures or photographs. Choose coordinating or matching frames to give uniformity and then group together on the floor at different heights and distances to ensure your design works before hanging them on the wall. This also works well with either mirrors or clocks and will definitely give you a display which no-one else has!Yellow Unique Wall Decor IdeasTrendy Wall Painting Colors

Janae Multi Strap
- Color: Select Color
- Size: Select Size
- Width: Select Width
92% of customers say this fits as expected
"My good experiences with Rockport pumps led me to add this to my collection when size 5 becomes available (it is difficult to find size 5 for Rockport shoes online)! Add gel cushions if you have high instep like me to help alleviate the pressure on the forefoot and it can last me through the whole day. Width fits nicely for my wide feet and the straps doesn't cut into my skin/gives blisters. Barely any arch support as expected of sandals. This is the only pair of sandals I own as sandals of this heel height always gives me pain or instability when walking, but not this!"
"This is the second Janae I've purchased. The other is the Janae Heel. I bought that pair several years ago and receive compliments every time I wear them. The Janae Multi Strap, like the Janae Heel, are easy on the feet even though they are high. I wish more were available!"
Go-getters and won't-quitters need shoes they can count on, and we're proud to step up to the challenge. Rockport® shoes are Made for Movers.®

Misconduct by officials working in poverty alleviation in 2017 will not be tolerated, according to the State Council executive meeting on Feb 22.
Central government will conduct strict supervision on local authorities in terms of fund use and relocation of poor families, according to Xinhua News Agency.
Local governments' performance in poverty alleviation will be evaluated, as well as the cooperation between east and west regions.
In 2016, 7,465 officials were punished for misconduct, including cheating and abuse of power, in poverty alleviation work.
"The year 2017 will see the strictest appraisal in years," said Liu Yongfu, director of the State Council poverty alleviation office.
Also in 2017, the budget for poverty alleviation will be raised by central and local authorities to improve infrastructure and basic public services in extremely poor areas, ethnic group areas and remote regions. And some poor families will be helped by the government to maintain their old houses, according to the State Council executive meeting.
Poor villages will get support to develop their economy, especially in industries where they may have comparative advantages, Xinhua said.

I know it's been a long time between posts but fun, family, friends and holidays have taken a front seat to bloggy posts. So nyah!! :P
As usual, the detail is exquisite and the textures all line up perfectly from top to bottom. If I had one very small nitpick, it's that the dolphin detail above your belly button is a bit hard to discern. Regardless, it's a truly wonderful outfit that gets oohs and ahhs wherever you go. I'd love to see it in aqua and pale yellow!
For members of Inga's group, the outfit is $500L, regular price is $950L.

A couple months ago Zach and I went into World Market during their "Rug Caravan" sale to look for a rug for our master bedroom. Unfortunately, when we got there, we found they don't carry any rugs larger than 5' x 7'. Turning to leave the rug section, we passed by the furniture and I saw an armchair with a sign that read "Sarah, buy me." Can you believe it? Ok, not really, but it might as well have said that. I'd been looking for chairs for our bedroom since June and this one had everything I was looking for. I wanted something comfy with arms that had a traditional shape and patterned fabric, preferably in a shade of blue. The "Reading Chair" met all my ridiculous specifications, and as a bonus, the fabric had a vintage feel, reminding me of the fabric on my grandmother's armchair, (which has been retired until we can have it reupholstered).
And as a super bonus, it was on sale for $240. Unfortunately, they only had one in stock, and it was already on hold for another customer. However, they told us they would be getting a new shipment in soon and gave us a rain check for two chairs at the sales price.
I eagerly waited for our new chairs to arrive, but after about a week with no news I called the store, only to find out they had been discontinued! I was frustrated. Why the heck did they issue a rain check if there were not enough chairs available? They were completely sold out online and none of the stores in Texas had any more in stock. After talking two three different managers I finally found two chairs in stock at a store in California. So I had them call California and see if they would ship the chairs to the Houston store. (At this point I'm sure a sign went up on the store front with my photo that read "Do not do business with this woman".) Sure they'd ship the chairs, but I would have to pay for the shipping. 'Ok', I thought, 'I can live with that, I really like these chairs and they're on sale'. That was until I found out freight shipping through UPS would cost around $500, at which point I knew I was defeated. Ready to give up I tried one last desperate google search and ended up at uShip.com. At first I was a little skeptical, having never heard of the website, but checked it out through the BBB and found that it was a legitimate company. With uShip you can create a free account and get competitive shipping bids from multiple companies. I posted a request to have the chairs shipped from California to Houston and by the next morning had three bids to choose from! One of these bids came in at about half of the UPS price, so I went for it. We got World Market to give us an additional 25% for all our trouble, so even with shipping we still got a pretty good deal.

The extremely popular social photo sharing service Instagram now has a very serious competitor to it's own app -- it's called Gramory. Gramory offers a superb way to browse through Instagram photos. One of the huge features that is not present in Instagram's official app is the ability to browse by trends.
Gramory has a very nice, multi-panel UI. The left panel is where you'll be able to choose how to filter the photos that you're browsing though. You can look through your own photos or feed, the popular photos, photos that you've liked, or even see what tags are trending and browse through those images. Regardless of which view you choose, you'll see them all presented as thumbnails. This is awesome because it lets you see 20 photos at once on a single page so that you can select which ones you'd like to see larger.
When viewing a photo, you'll see a large version of the photo as well as all the comments that have been made on that photo. If you pull the screen down, you'll see the hidden icons that let you share the photo to Twitter, Facebook, Messages, or Mail. You can also like the photo or leave a comment. If you tap the little thumbnail icon in the upper righthand corner, a left panel will slide out that displays thumbnails of that user's Instagram photos.
Despite how awesome Gramory is, it's still not a replacement for the official Instagram app. It doesn't allow you to post photos, nor can you see a nice list of recent comments and likes made to your photos.
The Good
- Multi-plane UI
- Browse photos by "me", popular, feed, liked, or trends
- Search users and tags
- Thumbnail view
The Bad
- Cannot post photos to Instagram
- Cannot view a list of recent comments and likes made to your photos
The bottom line
If you're a big Instagram user, you must start using Gramory. It's offers a new and better way to browse photos posted to Instgram.

Book Description: A prosecutor of violent criminals. A detective on a dangerous beat. When these two pros take on an off-the-books case, the line between professional and personal becomes perilously blurred.
When a twenty-two-year-old convict walks into the courtroom, his eyes confirm what Mia Quinn already guesses: he blames her for his conviction. In seconds, he knocks her to the ground and holds a razor blade to her throat. While she manages to escape without injury, it's just one more reminder that Mia's job prosecuting Seattle's s most dangerous criminals is far from low risk.
As a single mom, the last thing Mia wants is for her work to follow her home or discover that it already has.
Now Detective Charlie Carlson is suggesting the very thing Mia doesn't want to believe—that her accountant husband's deadly car accident was no accident at all. When Mia and Charlie encounter resistance to reopening the case, they take the investigation into their own hands. And they find much more than they bargained for.
Was Mia's husband more than an accountant . . . and less than an honest man? As the truth becomes more shocking and the case grows more complex, her husband's killers take note of Mia . . . and her children. How far will this prosecutor go to learn the truth about her husband—and how far will she have to go to protect her family?
My Thoughts: Oh.Be.Still.My.Heart! I have waited (it seems like forever
) for the next Mia Quinn mystery. And here it is!
Mia is a prosecutor. And usually her job is stressful and full but today when that twenty-two-year old walks into the courtroom Mia senses/knows that he blames her for his predicament. Uh!Yeah! She did the crime!
Honestly these criminals make one SO angry. As the reader can tell this is a one great suspense read! I was SO angry at the criminal . . . a good sign that an author brings out emotion in the reader.
Mia is a single mom because her husband was killed in a deadly car accident. But now Detective Carlson telling her the one thing she really doesn't want to hear. Her husband's accident was probably not an accident! And to top.it.all.off! Her husband seems to have been into some shady dealings.
Poor Mia! She is a single mom who wants to blend into the woodwork. She doesn't want these criminals to know that she has a family and where she lives.
This is one of Lis Wiehl's best books! The suspense is, well for a lack of another word, suspenseful! {smile} One of those I'm looking over my shoulder as I read in bed at night! Yeah!That good!

January 2013
Title Game is Set
In the first games of the day, Laser's Legends edged out The Hills 4-2 to earn their third-straight victory and clinch a spot in the Championship Game – played tomorrow afternoon at 1:35 p.m. on the main field here at Salt River Fields. Despite the loss, The Hills clinched a spot in the Championship Game as well thanks to a loss by Dante's Dudes to Vinny's Cousins.
Both The Hills and Laser's Legends are now 3-1 going into the final game of league play, which began at about 1:45 p.m. today.
Following the afternoon games, the campers will get a chance to pick the brains of our coaches, and Rockies legends, in a bull session that begins tonight at 5:00 p.m. Great stories are always told at these sessions, and more are sure to come out tonight.
Check back later for a special guest blogger as well. And continue to go to rockies.com for video features throughout camp.
Day 3 is Underway
Following another gut busting Kangaroo Court from George Frazier, the campers are now taking batting practice in preparation of the final day of league play today. Each team will play two more games today, at 11:00 am and 1:45 pm, and when those are concluded we will have our championship game set.
The Hills is 3-0 and can clinch a spot in the title game by winning one of their two games today. Laser's Legends (2-1) and Dante's Dudes (1-2) are battling to get in to the title game as well. A Win for Laser's Legends today would also secure a spot in the final contest, played tomorrow at 1:35 pm on the main stadium here at Salt River Fields.
Highlight videos are posted on coloradorockies.com and make sure to check back here for updates.
Play ball!
Blogging from the "Crow's Nest" between the Rockies' practice fields at Salt River Fields, the weather is heating up and so is the intensity of the action on the field. "Laser's Legends" and "Dante's Dudes" just wrapped up their first games of today's doubleheader, with George Frazier and Mike Lansing's team earning a 6-5 win. On the neighboring field, "The Hills" was able to dispatch "Vinny's Cousins" 11-10 in exciting walkoff fashion.
Campers now have a quick break for lunch before heading back out to the fields for game two which will pit The Hills against Dante's Dudes and Vinny's Cousins versus Laser's Legends.
Just a quick update for now, but no matter how you break it down, everyone is having a great time and life is good here at Fantasy Camp.
6:30 a.m. – The days start early here at Rockies Fantasy Camp and many Campers are rolling out of bed at this time, no doubt stiff and sore from the first day of action, and the first bus to Salt River Fields is about to depart from the Camp hotel. Yesterday, the busiest day of Camp with the player draft, practice sessions, first game and an overall "feeling out" process, is in the books and now the week will begin to hit its stride.
After the first pair of games, there were some strong performances and both "Dante's Dudes" and "The Hills" notched wins in their first contest, downing "Vinny's Cousins" and "Laser's Legends" 12-7 and 8-5 respectively. Headlining the top first-day performances, Bret Milner of Dante's Dudes went 3-for-3 with a single, double, a hit-by-pitch and a monster home run over the left-field wall. Other day one standouts included PJ Marcely, also of Dante's Dudes, John Hefner of The Hills and Steve Bahmer of Vinny's Cousins.
Campers and staff are going to grab a bite to eat at the Salt River Fields cafeteria and get ready for the first "Kangaroo Court" session of the week, overseen by the vengeful and unforgiving Judge George Frazier. Kangaroo Court banter is always hilarious and it will be interesting to see what indiscretions Judge Frazier will bring to the courtroom this morning. After Court, there will be doubleheader action today with games beginning at 10:00 a.m. and 12:45 p.m., so stay tuned for final scores and updates.
Like always, remember you can stay connected to Fantasy Camp in real-time by following the Rockies on Facebook, @Rockies on Twitter and checking for video updates to coloradorockies.com.
Day two…here we go!
The first pitch of 2013 Rockies Fantasy Camp was just thrown. There are two matchups on tonight's slate of games, but before Camp arrived at this point, players participated in pitching, hitting and fielding sessions after lunch. After getting loose and giving coaches the opportunity to scout talent before for the evening draft, this is how the rosters broke down, including clever team names:
Dante's Dudes (Dante Bichette/Jeff Huson) – Bob Banta, Joe Breda, Chris Bunnell, Rob Clark, Brian Everhart, Josh Fetters, Sandy Friedin, Marty Marcely, PJ Marcely, Bret Milner, Sam Rubinson, Stefan Tubbs
Vinny's Cousins (Vinny Castilla/Rick Mathews) – Steve Bahmer, Mike Bush, Mike Chaney, Bob Cooley, Robbie Dinges, Steve Foster, Virgil Graff, Brian Hastings, Art Jacobson, Doug Jones, Tom Sanders, Joe Stutesman
Laser's Legends (George Frazier/Mike Lansing) – Steve Coble, Mark Danuser, Pat Dixon, Jeff Gilmore, John Hansen, Roger Harbert, Tammy Harbert, Tara Harbert, Derek Kraus, Justin Neel, Bill Newland, Jim Stewart
The Hills (Rob Scahill/Mark Strittmatter) – Tim Carlson, Drew Goodman, John Hefner, Don Karras, Kevin Keating, Bobby Knowles, Jeff Lewis, Harris Marks, Scottie Paradine, Jim Portz, Randy Wahl, Doug Wilhelm
Expect results of tonight's games as soon as possible and you can always follow along on the Rockies Facebook and Twitter accounts (@Rockies) and coloradorockies.com for photos, videos and up-to-the-minute updates from Camp. Now that games have begun, only time will tell which teams will rise to the surface.
The sun is shining, the skies are blue and the baseball fields are freshly cut. 2013 Rockies Fantasy Camp, the 16th Camp in Rockies history and second consecutive year at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, is now underway with over 45 men and women excited for a great week of fun and baseball action. This year's Fantasy Camp coaching staff is full of Major League experience, including Rockies legends, household names and honorary Fantasy Camp Commissioner Eric Young. Here are a few words of welcome from Mr. Young.
I'm happy to be back here at Fantasy Camp and it's about time I'm back in that Rockies family. I don't think red looks good on me…it's all about that purple. I'm just excited to be here this week and I'm happy to be back.
This is going to be a great week. We coaches going to sit down and pick teams, play some games and have some fun. We're going to have "Kangaroo Court" every morning so make sure to be on your toes and on your best behavior. I'm just excited to get everything going and I'm proud to be your Commissioner this week.
Let's have fun out here, get warmed up, move around and get it started!
Fantasy Camp coaches have yet make their draft choices, but Rockies Hitting Coach Dante Bichette and former big leaguer and ROOT SPORTS personality Jeff Huson will pair up to coach Team 1. Rockies legend Vinny Castilla and longtime Rockies coach Rick Mathews will coach Team 2. Team 3 will be led by former Rockie and Wyoming native Mike Lansing and George Frazier, ROOT SPORTS analyst and former Major League reliever. Finally, Team 4 will be led by current Rockies reliever Rob Scahill and Minor League Catching Coordinator Mark Strittmatter, back with the Rockies organization after a few years with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Teams and team names TBD.
And with that, we say welcome to 2013 Fantasy Camp! Stay tuned right here, to the Fantasy Camp blog, for updates as the experience of a lifetime unfolds for these Campers.
