Lewis solid in return, but Rangers' offense stalls
Allows four runs (three earned) in 5 1/3 innings in first start since '12
ARLINGTON -- Rangers pitcher Colby Lewis made a remarkable return on Monday after a 21-month absence from the Major Leagues.
The Rangers wouldn't mind seeing their offense re-appear as well. The bats haven't been gone that long, but they have been relatively mute on this homestand, and that continued against Mariners rookie left-hander Roenis Elias.
Making his third Major League start, Elias held the Rangers to one run over 6 2/3 innings in the Mariners' 7-1 victory. Lewis, who had a shutout going into the fifth inning, took the loss in his first start since July 18, 2012.
Since then, Lewis has undergone major surgery on both his right elbow and right hip. But on Monday night, he looked like the same pitcher who had been an integral member of the Rangers rotation when they went to the World Series in 2010 and '11.
"I thought he was outstanding," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "He didn't walk anybody and he pounded the strike zone. The runs they got, they earned. He had a good breaking ball and spotted his fastball well. Welcome back, Colby."
The formula and style hasn't changed much. Lewis' fastball was clocked around 88-89 miles per hour with excellent command and he mixed in his curve, slider and changeup. He has always been a four-pitch pitcher who relied on command over power, and that is still the case with a repaired hip and elbow.
"I felt great," Lewis said. "I warmed up great and everything was great. I was able to command the baseball. I got ambushed a couple of times in the sixth inning, but overall I threw the ball well. My stuff was sharp and I was able to throw my pitches when I needed to, ahead in the count and behind in the count. That's all you can ask for.
"I wasn't nervous, I was more anxious than anything. But after the first inning, I settled down and got into my rhythm. I had a lot of fun."
Lewis started his night by retiring the side in order in the first and was scoreless through four innings. That ended when Mike Zunino, the Mariners' No. 9 hitter, broke the scoreless tie with a one-out home run in the fifth. Lewis retired the next two hitters, but couldn't get through the sixth.
Robinson Cano led off with a single and, after Corey Hart flied out, Michael Saunders smacked a line drive into the left-center-field gap. Center fielder Leonys Martin couldn't cut the ball off as Cano scored and Saunders ended up with a triple. Saunders scored on a single by Kyle Seager to give the Mariners a 3-0 lead and end Lewis' night. He walked off the field to a standing ovation.
"I really appreciated that," Lewis said. "I wanted to go out there and have a good time. It was a stepping stone. I wanted a different outcome, I expect to go deeper in the game. But five days from now I'll go back out there and get after it again."
Pedro Figueroa took over and couldn't stop the Mariners rally. They ended up scoring four more with the help of a replay reversal on a play at home plate and took a 7-0 lead. Washington was ejected during the inning while arguing after the replay reversal had gone in favor of the Mariners on a play at home. But the replay hardly changed the outcome of the game, given the state of the Rangers offense.
Elias had a three-hit shutout going into the seventh before the Rangers finally scored. Prince Fielder hit a high pop down the left-field line that fell in for a double and he scored as Kevin Kouzmanoff bounced a single down the first-base line.
But that was it for the Rangers, who were held to one run for the third time in four games on this homestand.
"The name of the game is scoring runs, we just haven't been able to do that," Washington said. "We'll keep working and we'll keep grinding and hopefully we'll be able to do that."
The Rangers defeated the Red Sox, 10-7, last Tuesday in Fenway. In five games since then they are hitting .207 with 10 runs scored over five games. They are 4-for-46 with runners in scoring position and have not scored multiple runs in an inning since scoring four in the fourth inning last Tuesday. That's a span of 54 innings.
"No we're not frustrated," shortstop Elvis Andrus said. "It's too early and I don't like that word. We have to keep our heads up and keep playing hard. We know we'll get to the point where we'll start hitting again."
The Rangers just hope it won't take as long as it took Lewis to get back to the Major Leagues.

Palladium is one of the rarest metals on earth, about 15 times more rare than platinum and 30 times more rare than gold. Belonging to the platinum group of metals, around 80% of the world's palladium production comes from two countries: Russia and South Africa. In fact, Russia alone accounts for roughly half of the world's production, which is estimated to be 200,000 ounces per year. This can create cause for concern as any decrease in exports from these countries can contribute to volatility in palladium prices.
In comparison to platinum, palladium shares similar chemical properties but is less dense and has a lower melting point.
SEE: Futures Fundamentals
Uses of Palladium
With this in mind, it is important to take a look at the various uses of the metal. The unique composition of palladium makes it ideal for the auto industry, dentistry, electronics and fuel cell production. However, the most important use of palladium by far is the auto industry. Used in catalytic converters, the auto industry accounted for over 60% of the demand in 2010. To put this in perspective,about 80 million vehicles will be produced in 2011 and on average each catalytic converter requires about 1/20th of an ounce of palladium or platinum. Jewelry and industrial use, which comprises of dentistry and electronics, are the next highest users with approximately 29 and 7% of the demand in 2010 respectively.
Supply and Demand
Because Russia controls roughly 50% of the worldwide palladium pricing, and South Africa around 30%, palladium prices can be quite volatile. Between 2005 and 2011, palladium has gone from a low of about $168 per ounce to approximately $858 per ounce, settling around $630 per ounce as of Dec. 29, 2011.
Demand has also contributed to this volatility. With China's auto industry booming this could put a strain on supplies. Furthermore, the size of Russia's stockpile is a state secret so it is unknown how much supply they will export in future years.
Palladium Investing
There are a variety of ways an investor can gain exposure to this metal, whether through physical palladium, palladium futures, palladium miners or palladium exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Many miners are engaged in mining a variety of metals however, and since palladium is so rare it only makes up a small portion of a miners output. Nevertheless there are a few pure play mining companies that an investor can invest in.
As for palladium ETFs, the ETFS Physical Palladium Shares (ARCA:PALL) holds physical palladium and moves in tandem with the market price.
Lastly, palladium futures can be used to gain exposure. They are traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) and are available over 15 months, starting at the current month, then the next two following months before going onto the quarterly cycle of March, June, September and December.
Sample Futures Contract
A sample palladium futures contract is shown in this table:
|Palladium Contract Specifications
|Ticker Symbol
|Open Outcry: PA (NYMEX)
CME Globex Electronic: PA (NYMEX)
|Contract Size
|100 troy ounces
|Deliverable Grades
|In fulfillment of each contract, the seller must deliver 100 troy ounces (±7%) of palladium, not less than .9995 fineness and with no single piece weighing less than 10 ounces. Each contract unit may consist of ingots or plates, each incised with the lot or bar number, weight, grade, name or logo of the assayer and symbol identifying the metal.
|Contract Months
|All months
|Trading Hours
|NYMEX Open Outcry: Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m. EST
CME Globex Electronic: Sunday-Friday 6 p.m.-5:15 p.m. EST
|Last Trading Day
|Third to last business day of the contract month. Trading terminates at the close of business on the third business day prior to the end of the delivery month.
|Last Delivery Day
|Last business day of the contract month
|Price Quote
|U.S. dollars and cents per troy ounce
|Tick Size
|NYMEX: 5 cents per troy ounce ($5 per contract)
Palladium Futures Contract in Detail
Every commodity has its own ticker symbol, margin requirements and contract value so it is important to know how to read the ticker. A palladium quote would look like this for example:
This would be like saying Palladium (PA) 2009 (9) January (F) at $650 per ounce.
Using the information in the chart above, the palladium contract equals the equivalent of 100 ounces multiplied by the $650, so: $650 x 100 ounces = $65,000
Metals are traded based on margin and this rate can change based on the volatility of the market. Typically if the margin rate increases, the price of palladium will drop and vice versa. The leverage gives speculators a higher risk return investment.
Palladium trades on the NYMEX and the Tokyo Commodities Exchange (TOCOM), each have their own contract size and minimum price fluctuation.
Change in Price
Each metal has its own contract size so the change in price can differ from other metals. For palladium, every 10 cent move is equal to $5, or 100 cent move the equivalent to $50. This is demonstrated below:
|Buy Price
|Sell Price
|Total Value
|Palladium Contract Price (100 cents move = $50)
|$100 or $5,000
The Bottom Line
Palladium is one of the rarest metals on earth and is often neglected in favor of its more popular brother, platinum. However because of its unique qualities it is being used more and more in the auto industry, and as it is cheaper than platinum and comes from a limited number of sources, prices should rise in tandem. With this in mind, if traders and investors want exposure to this precious metal they can start looking at specific stocks, futures and ETFs.

Endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a reliable and commonly established technique, which can be perceived as the current gold standard that enables visualisation and sampling of mediastinal, central or hilar lesions and lymph nodes within the tracheo-bronchial tree.
The Olympus ultrasound miniature probes allow endobronchial ultrasonography of target lesions in the peripheral airways. For reliable sampling, a Guide Sheath Kit can be used in combination with a slim video bronchoscope.
For the treatment of diseased lung in emphysematous patients, the valve redirects air from the diseased portions of the lung to healthier areas and allows atelectasis if intended. Selected case studies have shown improvement of disease-related quality of life and lung function.
The new BF-MP190F accesses deep lung areas, approaches the lesion, and provides compatibility to confirm the lesion using radial ultrasound.Learn more

In diagnostic bronchoscopy, a flexible bronchoscope is used to visually inspect the trachea and bronchi.
Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) and Autofluorescence Imaging (AFI) are two modalities that are deservedly gaining greater interest in the medical community. To a significant degree, this is due to their ability to provide more information that can lead to faster and more accurate diagnosis of a number of conditions, particularly relating to tissue thickening. With benefits like these, the arguments for using these technologies are very persuasive.
NBI provides great potential for defining the nature of a bronchial lesion, allowing a closer, more accurate look at the angiogenic process. NBI is a promising technology as it combines good sensitivity with improved specificity. It allows superior discrimination between low- and high-risk lesions (such as CIS and severe dysplasia). NBI is available with standard videoscopes on recent Olympus video endoscopy platforms.
While NBI allows easier identification of changes in the vascular patterns, AFI identifies thickened mucosa. AFI is an interesting tool for the diagnosis of central lung cancer and premalignant lesions.
Traditionally, distinguishing inflamed areas from cancerous processes has been a common problem. To help to solve this, AFI can be used. By observing changes in fluorescence intensity, AFI may assist the early detection of a suspicious lesion, displaying normal tissue in green and abnormal tissue in magenta.
AFI is available on the dedicated Olympus autofluorescence platform, EVIS LUCERA ELITE, with one dedicated autofluorescence endoscope for bronchoscopy.
For general diagnostic purposes or if an abnormality is discovered, sampling using Bronchoscopic Alveolar Lavage (BAL), brush, forceps, or needle might be needed.

The removal of a foreign body using bronchoscopy can be challenging due to its size and consistency, as well as due to the limited access to its location. Objects may be removed with the help of a flexible bronchoscope and the appropriate grasping instruments.
A variety of instruments, such as grasping forceps or retrieval baskets, can be used to remove foreign bodies, depending on the type of object involved. Olympus offers a versatile product lineup of grasping forceps, baskets, and loops to extract foreign bodies:
Grasping devices – the appropriate device for every situation

Bronchoscopic electrosurgery can be used for a number of bronchoscopy applications, for example, tumor ablation and debulking, cauterization of lesions, hemostasis, and bronchial biopsies.
Immediate medical attention is often required in the treatment of tumors obstructing the trachea or the bronchus. In the past, the tumors were resected through thoracotomy or removed by forceps using rigid bronchoscopes. However bronchoscopic electrosurgery is a cost-effective alternative for tumor ablation and debulking.
Post-intubation tracheal stenosis can be caused by multiple factors and is a complication of prolonged endotracheal intubation. If the stenosis is an web-like type, reopening with electrosurgical knife is possible.
Hemostasis can be achieved effectively using electrocautery. Bleeding in the bronchi can occur while taking a biopsy or debulking a tumor. Smaller bleeds are generally not problematic, but they can become life-threatening if the bleeding cannot be stopped.
Bronchial biopsies can be performed using hot biopsy forceps, which are equipped with large cups that allow fast, efficient collection of tissue using high-frequency cauterization to prevent bleeding.
Cut, Coagulate, Resect and Retrieve
Olympus has designed versatile electrosurgical devices to meet all requirements for high-frequency bronchial electrocautery.

Medical thoracoscopy, also called pleuroscopy, is a procedure involving internal examination, biopsy, and/or resection of disease or masses within the pleural cavity and thoracic cavity. It is a valuable tool in the management and investigation of pleural diseases because the technique enables a wide variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
Thoracoscopy may be performed either under general anesthesia or under sedation with local anesthetic.
Direct examination of the thoracic cavity can be achieved through medical thoracoscopy under local anesthesia enabling pleural biopsy. Pleural biopsy is a procedure to remove a sample of the tissue lining the lungs and the inside of the chest wall to check for disease or infection.
The Olympus semi-rigid pleuroscope is designed to be used for endoscopic diagnosis and treatment within the thoracic cavity and may be used with EndoTherapy devices such as biopsy forceps and electrosurgery devices.
Olympus offers dedicated, extra-strong biopsy forceps providing a firm grip for effective strip biopsies even in medical thoracoscopy.

The Lions aren't wasting any time when it comes to clearing out their roster after Monday's start to the period when teams can make moves involving players already on their roster.
Mike Garafolo of USA Today reports that the team has informed defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch that he will be released. The news comes on the heels of word that guard Stephen Peterman got the same message and a day after the team washed its hands of the headaches provided by wide receiver Titus Young.
Vanden Bosch's departure was expected. He was set to count for $10.7 million against the cap in 2013, far too much for a player who produced just 3.5 sacks during the 2012 season. Vanden Bosch signed a four-year deal with the Lions in 2010 and produced 12 sacks over his first two seasons with the team before his production slipped this season.
His departure comes just as Jim Washburn arrives in Detroit, robbing Vanden Bosch of a chance to reunite with the position coach who helped him develop into a strong pass rusher in Tennessee almost a decade ago. It also means that the November page in the Lions 2013 calendar will celebrate a player no longer on the team.
The Lions could use some of the savings toward keeping impending free agent defensive end Cliff Avril, assuming they don't decide to move in another direction altogether at the position.

Apache Commons Pool
The Apache Commons Pool open source software library provides an object-pooling API and a number of object pool implementations. Version 2 of Apache Commons Pool contains a completely re-written pooling implementation compared to the 1.x series. In addition to performance and scalability improvements, version 2 includes robust instance tracking and pool monitoring.
See the downloads page for information on obtaining releases.
The org.apache.commons.pool2 package defines a handful of pooling interfaces and some base classes that may be useful when creating new pool implementations.
PooledObjectFactory provides a generic interface for managing the lifecycle of a pooled object:
public interface PooledObjectFactory<T> { PooledObject<T> makeObject(); void activateObject(PooledObject<T> obj); void passivateObject(PooledObject<T> obj); boolean validateObject(PooledObject<T> obj); void destroyObject(PooledObject<T> obj); }
Users of 1.x versions of Commons Pool will notice that while the PoolableObjectFactorys used by 1.x pools create and manage pooled objects directly, version 2 PooledObjectFactorys create and manage PooledObjects. These object wrappers maintain object pooling state, enabling PooledObjectFactory methods to have access to data such as instance creation time or time of last use. A DefaultPooledObject is provided, with natural implementations for pooling state methods. The simplest way to implement a PoolableObjectFactory is to have it extend BasePooledObjectFactory. This factory provides a makeObject() that returns wrap(create()) where create and wrap are abstract. You provide an implementation of create to create the underlying objects that you want to manage in the pool and wrap to wrap created instances in PooledObjects. To use DefaultPooledObject wrappers, use
@Override public PooledObject<Foo> wrap(Foo foo) { return new DefaultPooledObject<Foo>(foo); }
KeyedPooledObjectFactory defines a similar interface for KeyedObjectPools:
public interface KeyedPoolableObjectFactory<K,V> { PooledObject<V> makeObject(K key); void activateObject(K key, PooledObject<V> obj); void passivateObject(K key, PooledObject<V> obj); boolean validateObject(K key, PooledObject<V> obj); void destroyObject(K key, PooledObject<V> obj); }
BaseKeyedPooledObjectFactory provides an abstract base implementation of KeyedPooledObjectFactory.
The org.apache.commons.pool2.impl package provides some Pool implementations.
GenericObjectPool provides a wide variety of configuration options, including the ability to cap the number of idle or active instances, to evict instances as they sit idle in the pool, etc. As of version 2, GenericObjectPool also provides abandoned instance tracking and removal.
GenericKeyedObjectPool offers the same behavior for keyed pools.
SoftReferenceObjectPool can grow as needed, but allows the garbage collector to evict idle instances from the pool as needed.
Migrating from Pool 2.x to Pool 2.y
Client code that uses a Pool 2.x release should require no code changes to work with a later Pool 2.x release.
New Pool 2.x releases may include support for new configuration attributes. These will be listed in the change log. Note that the MBean interfaces (those with names ending in MXBean or MBean) such as DefaultPooledObjectInfoMBean, GenericKeyedObjectPoolMXBean or GenericKeyedObjectPoolMXBean may change from one release to the next to support these new attributes. These interfaces should, therefore, not be implemented by client as the changes will not be backwards compatible.
Migrating from Pool 1.x to Pool 2.x
The migration from Apache Commons Pool 1.x to 2.x will require some code changes. The most significant changes are the changes in package name from org.apache.commons.pool to org.apache.commons.pool2 and the change in the implementation classes to use PooledObjectFactorys, as described above.
The key implementation classes (GenericObjectPool and GenericKeyedObjectPool) have retained their names so no changes should be required there although a number of attributes have been renamed to improve consistency and ensure attributes with the same name in different pools have the same meaning. It is likely that some changes will be required to use the new attribute names.

Teaching and Scholarly Interests:
My teaching and scholarship strive to integrate the meaning of monuments within their historical context. For example, to understand the importance of Giotto, one must situate him within the Italo-Byzantine style from which he emerged. My goal is to inspire a respect for the visual arts by revealing their contribution to the history of diverse cultures of both the western and non-western world.
My teaching begins in the caves of Lascaux and focuses on the art of Greece, Rome, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Baroque and Rococo. My scholarship revolves around the Gothic period in France, particularly during the reign of Louis IX and Philip the Bold. Both royal patrons were nimble architects of their own fame and prestige, and I have tried to establish a link between the visual programs of the saintly Capetian ruler and the Valois duke.

Trophy in Parade
Obviously, the players on the field deserve credit for winning the World Championship and bringing a World Series trophy to Philadelphia.
The passion of the fans was also huge. Citizens Bank Park was a house of electricity during October thanks to the fans.
With that in mind, the Phillies are taking the trophy to the fans.
Between now and into next season, the trophy will be doing a lot of traveling. At some point, its home will be Citizens Bank Park. We're still working on details.
Last Saturday, the trophy was at the Temple University football game across the street at Lincoln Financial Field, a very short road trip. Fans were able to see it, take pictures and pose for photos in the Head House Plaza. More photo ops occurred when it was taken to the field prior to the coin toss. Phillie Phanatic, Hooter the Owl, cheerleaders and referees all surrounded the trophy. Happy to report there was no roughing the trophy penalty flag.
Highlighting this week's schedule is the Ikea Thanksgiving Day parade that will be televised by Channel 6 on Thursday. Joining the trophy on a float will be the Phillie Phanatic, Phillies ballgirls and Scott Palmer, our director of public affairs and a former talent on WPVI.
Scott, keep an eye on Santa Claus. It would make a great stocking stuffer for someone with really big feet.
Holiday shoppers at the Majestic Clubhouse Store at Citizens Bank Park will get to see the trophy during a special weekend sale on December 13 and 14. Ho-Ho-Ho.
After the first of the year, the Phillies will announce a trophy tour schedule for the tri-state area. Stay tuned to phillies.com.
3 Comments
A trophy tour. Who woulda thunk? I can't wait.
I'll probably be down at the park over the December 13th weekend for some Christmas shopping.
Thank you, Phillies. I still feel it.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Larry.

Smart Technical Debt Estimation
live in Visual Studio
For each issue, the cost to fix is estimated by customizable formulas written in C#.
Because a picture is worth a thousand words, NDepend proposes several unique ways to visualize your code. This includes:
"NDepend is giving me insight into my apps that I hadn't had before. Once I realized the depth and breadth of the information I was looking at, I was like a kid in a candy shop."
"As someone who gets to work with other people code daily I found NDepend to be a real life saver in such cases."
"The issues NDepend raised for me seemed to be more related to architecture issues versus the other tools. It definitely gave me insight into what to refactor and how to reduce technical debt."
"Wintellect is happy to recommend NDepend to its clients to use it internally when working on our customer's code."
"Tools like NDepend are required for teams dealing with proper code reviews, examining code when code is idle (like on weekends), or when you have a possible circular reference in play.
NDepend not only has a great static code analysis tool, but also provides a way for veteran developers and aspiring architects alike to adhere to coding standards along with a way to integrate a company's coding standards into the tool using CQLINQ.This is definitely a tool for advanced developers and one that I definitely recommend to anyone looking to analyze a code base."
"NDepend found enough problems in my code. Some of them are really helpful. I like that NDepend found 10 classes which can be changed to structures. Structures are extremely effective from the memory pressure perspectives. This is especially important when we're talking about mobile applications."

1 cup warm water
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
2 3/4 cups flour
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
3 anchovies packed in olive oil, drained and mashed
coarse-grain cornmeal for dusting
olive oil for greasing the bowl
Pour warm water into the bottom of a stand mixer. Add sugar and yeast. Stir the mixture until the yeast is dissolved. Stir in the anchovies, olive oil and salt. Add the flour and cheese.
Using the dough hook and mix until the dough becomes a smooth, elastic ball. At this point you can fold the dough onto itself a couple of times if you'd like. Coat the inside of a large bowl with additional olive oil, and place the dough in the bowl, smooth side up. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, and place in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 40 minutes. Remove plastic wrap, and use your fist to push down on the center of the dough. Fold the dough in half four or five times. Turn dough over, folded-side down, cover with plastic wrap, and return to the warm spot to rise again. Wait until the dough has doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 500. Place 16-inch (or larger) pizza stone on lowest shelf position, for 30 minutes.
Punch down the dough and transfer to a clean surface. Divide the dough in half, and knead each half four or five times into a ball. Place one of the dough balls back in the oiled bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Lightly flour a clean surface, place the dough ball on top, pat into a flattened circle, cover lightly with plastic wrap, and let rest 5 minutes*. Begin to flatten and push the dough evenly out from the center until it measures about 7 to 8 inches in diameter. Leave a 1/2 inch border of unflatted dough around the edges of the circle. Lift the dough off the surface, and center it on top of your fists. Rotate and stretch the dough, moving your fists until they are 6 to 8 inches apart and the dough is several inches larger. Then place your fists under the inside of the outer edge, and continue to stretch the dough until it reaches about 12 inches in diameter. The dough will drape down over your forearms. Start over if the dough tears or gets to thin. Do this carefully, preserving the raised edge. Sprinkle cornmeal all over the surface of a pizza peel or parchment paper.
Place the pizza dough into a circle on top of the cornmeal-dusted peel. Distribute pizza sauce on the dough, leaving the 1/2 inch of raised dough bare. Sprinkle with cheese and toppings.
Slightly tilt the peel (or a parchment paper covered upside down baking sheet), and place the front tip of peel on the back side of the stone. Slide the pizza off the peel (or slide the pizza with the parchment paper off of the baking sheet), centering it on the stone as best you can. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling. Repeat with remaining dough.

Bad boy Charlie Sheen is now one goddess short.
During his "Violent Torpedo of Truth" show in Fort Lauderdale yesterday, the actor told audience members that Rachel "Bree" Olson broke up with him through a text message, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
An audience member asked Sheen during the Q&A portion how he managed two women without resorting to polygamy, to which the actor responded: "Not well, because one left."
U.S. & World
Unlike some of the previous shows in other cities where Sheen had earned not-so-gracious reviews, the Fort Lauderdale appearance seemed well received from audience members.
At the show, Sheen also made an overture to Lindsay Lohan to hang out with him for a day. "I would hug her and let her know it's gonna be ok," said the actor.
Sheen also commented about his erstwhile show "Two and a Half Men": "I got fired for being a genius."
The Fort Lauderdale show also featured appearances by former NBA star Dennis Rodman, funnyman Jeff Ross and hip-hop artist Dirt Nasty.

PLANO, TX -- (Marketwired) -- 02/13/18 -- Torchlight Energy Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRCH) ("Torchlight" or "the Company"), today announced the closing of $4.5 million in unsecured 12% promissory notes through a private placement. The promissory notes bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum and mature on April 10, 2020, with interest payable monthly and a lump sum payment of outstanding principal due on maturity. The notes were issued at a purchase price of 96.27% of the principal amount, resulting in net proceeds of $4.33 million. In addition to the 12% cash interest, the notes will earn a common stock PIK at the rate of 2.5% annually.
The proceeds from the notes will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, which includes, drilling capital, lease acquisition capital and repayment of prior debt.
"This financing will help to fund the drilling and stimulation of the University Founders A25-H, the first horizontal well currently underway in the Orogrande Basin" stated John Brda, Torchlight Energy's CEO. "We plan to complete and then stimulate the well and report initial results as soon as they are available. The vertical pilot hole has been completed, as well as all of the logs and cores. From a scientific standpoint, everything looks excellent. Of note, is the down hole pressure. During the drilling process, we are having to increase our mud weight and are doing so without losing circulation. This tells us that our target zone is not normally pressured, but rather somewhat over pressured. This bit of knowledge gained is more ammunition telling us we have excellent potential in the Orogrande."

Avid Juicy/BB7 Disc Brake Pad
- One Size
Tech Specs
This rectangular pad set, enough for one brake, works with all of the Juicy hydraulic brakes and the cable-operated BB7.
Since you never want to ride metal on metal, it's always good to have two sets of pads around, so you don't need to hustle to find pads when you suddenly realize you need to replace your old pads the Friday night before a big weekend of riding. Included in the kit are two pads and a spreader spring for one brake. Choose organic or metallic compound.
- Organic brake pads: quieter but wear out faster than metallic; better modulation, less power
- Metallic brake pads: noisier but last longer than organic; less modulation, more power
- Each package includes 2 brake pads
Brakes are good
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Standard brakes that stop you and your bike! These are a far better option than eating bark! Nothing fancy, basic brakes but they work well! The last pair of these pads lasted me a solid 4 years riding 3-4 days per week.
Easy to install and dependable.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Fit my Avid Juicy 5 brakes and were super easy to install. I went with the metal option for extra durability.
Cheap, Functional Brake Pads
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
At the suggestion of my bike mechanic I got these in the metallic because they should last a little longer. A good investment at the beginning of a bike season. The metallic brakes get a little noisey but they certainly work the way they should. If you are uncertain about which brake pads to get consult one of our Gearheads at Competitive Cyclists so they can get it right for you the first time.
Organic vs Metallic
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Great pads that are very easy to install without the help of your local shop.
Reliable stopping power.
I personally prefer metallic over organic. I don't mind a little extra noise to know that I have better stopping power in all conditions.
--Know your pads--
ORGANIC PROS: -Quieter-Shorter break-in period-More initial bite-Prevent heat buildup-Pushes heat back into the rotor
ORGANIC CONS:-Wear quicker-Not as good in wet/muddy conditions
Use these if you are a lighter weight rider, and riding where lots of brakes are not required.
METALLIC PROS:-fade at a higher temperature than resin pads-better performance in wet conditions-last longer
METALLIC CONS:-louder-longer break-in time-not as much initial bite-heat is conducted through the caliper, not the rotor
Use these if you are a heavier rider and/or riding in wet, muddy, or dusty conditions. They are also a lot better if you are running small rotors, or are on a long descend. Also recommended for touring rigs.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Organic/semi-metallic/resin pads are softer and tend to be quieter. They offer more initial bite, but fade faster than metallic pads on longer descents. Do not use organic/semi-metallic/resin pads in wet conditions.
Metallic/sintered pads last longer, handle heat better, and resist fade better under heavier braking loads, making them good for downhill. In wet conditions, metallic pads are a must.
great brake pads
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These fit my avid juice 7 brake system like a charm. I don't have any complaints, they fit and they work as advertised.
awesome pads, 1000s of ks
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
if you buy these, it means two things: you ride a lot and your pads last a while. both are good things, and one of the reasons I stick with juicy and bb7s for all my bikes. Easy to rack up 10000km without having to change pads, and the number can triple on the road. Pretty easy to change with just some pliers which is nice in the field.
10000km.... Ha! Nevertheless, I got 3000~ miles out of mine. Depends on usage, rider weight, how much descending you do....great no nonsense pads, very easy to replace, and if you know how to maintain them easily quiet!
Great Pads
Killer stopping power. Last a long time (metallic). Easy install for the most part.

It's final? Beyonce was lip-syncing, report says
- One report says she did not sing live
- Another report says there were two voices%2C one live%2C the other prerecorded
- WH spokesman Jay Carney is questioned about it%2C but Beyonce remains silent
The Beyoncé did-she-or-didn't-she scandalette keeps getting more absurd. Now CNN is reporting tonight that she did indeed lip-sync the Star-Spangled Banner on Inauguration Day, while the Wall Street Journal says she sang over her own voice on a pre-recorded track.
"She did not sing live," CNN quoted an anonymous "inaugural official" as saying. Instead, she lip-synced to her pre-recording of the national anthem, which captured her powerful rendition of the difficult-to-sing song.
This is standard practice at inaugurations and other major outdoor events, and Beyoncé would not have been criticized for doing it because, after all, it was her singing on the recording.
The inauguration official told CNN the singer decided on Sunday night to go with the recording instead of singing live on Monday because she arrived too late to rehearse with The President's Own U.S. Marine Band, the 212-year-old military institution that provides the music at inaugurations and other important national ceremonies.
Meanwhile, the Journal obtained an audio of the Inauguration Day performance which sounded as if there were two Beyoncés singing that day, with the prerecording used to bolster her live vocals.
As a measure of the interest in the Beyoncé kerfuffle, CNN assigned its national political correspondent Jim Acosta to tracking down the truth. He even interviewed the singer's sound engineer and examined the buttons on the sound board. The engineer said he knew what happened but refused to disclose it.
The truth about this miniature scandal has been elusive since Tuesday, in part because Beyoncé isn't saying anything, as is her usual practice. But it didn't help when the Marine Band confirmed on Tuesday morning that she lip-synced and the band only pretended to accompany her, then by evening retracted that confirmation, saying no one in the band was in a position to know. The band did play live for Kelly Clarkson, who sang My Country, 'Tis of Thee live.
Presidential spokesman Jay Carney, trying to brief the White House press corps about important matters today, was briefly sidetracked by Beyoncé questions along the line of "what does the president know and does he care?"
Semi-exasperated, Carney said he knew nothing, adding sarcastically, "I'm glad you guys are focused on the important issues of the day here."

Installed packages sometimes become obsolete because the package got version bumped and the ebuild for the old version got dropped. Also it happens that packages are dropped completely from the tree (usually for a good reason). I'd like to query those packages in order to take the appropriate action (update, remove).
How to query installed packages that
- have no ebuild for the current installed version; and
- have no ebuild at all anymore (e.g. because it got deleted)

Maisy is a mischievous one and a half year old, we rescued her in August last year, when she was just a kitten. She's very quick and makes everyone in the family laugh with her crazy personality. She always looks like she's smiling which never fails to cheer me up. Her tortoiseshell coloring is very pretty, and people always comment on how unusual it is. Last year was a tough one for our family, and getting Maisy really helped us as a family, we're now much closer and she's a major part of our lives. She definitely completes our family.
Good Morning, miss Maisy! What a lovely tortie girl you are, and I like your smile in the second picture! How wonderful that you have helped your family through a difficult year . I'll bet you bring lots of smiles and laughter to them each day. Torties are very special kitties! I hope you have a great day of celebrating YOU! Happy Cat of the Day to you, sweet tortie Maisy!

Cash on time
Scrappy and cocksure. Cash on time has a suite of products ready to take on the ERP solution big boys like Oracle and SAP as a point-solution plug for Collections Management.
Collections Management has a big affect on a company's cash flow. There are other solutions out there but they are limited functionally or require a big implementation.
The big differentiators for Cash on time are:
the option between a SAAS or an internal enterprise deployment
faster deployment and cheaper when compared to solutions offered by ERP vendors
Works with any ERP - can integrate data from several different systems.
Target market is the cash strapped CFO and Financial Executive in a mid to large sized B2B company. Industries are wide but exclude non-profit and government. Collections Managers in the same organizations are a target but they are more concerned with process than with increasing cash flow
This is a small start-up that needs to look professional, refined and established - ready to take on all the other vendors and win!
Unfortunately, the colors are set. However, a slight deviation up or down the color palette might be ok. The product uses the same colors so swapping blue for purple at this point would not work for the brand.
Blue color is Pantone 295 or RGB: 0, 56,107
Green color is Pantone 369 or RGB: 86, 170, 28
The present logo utilizes very literal imagery with cash in the shape of a C. We desire a more conceptualized, modern and sleek image that will communicate the offering as a cash flow generator without being so literal.
Confidence is key - the company is confident and we need our customers to feel that way about us. If you can bring that confidence to life, we'd love to see it!

2wed necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 281 diseños de 76 diseñadores freelance.
We are a small team (3 guys) who are building their first web project. We are creating a website that allows young couples to create their own wedding website. They pick a template, upload some photos, and enter texts. After that they will have their own unique wedding website to share with family and friends.
What we need is a logo to help build our brand. This logo will appear both on our home page (the page that will sell/explain the product) and the back-end/Editor (the tool that the couple uses to build their wedding website).
We are trying to appeal to young couples who are getting married for the first time (there may be some second-timers among them) but for the most part our target audience is young, internet-savvy, and can distinguish between a quality web product and one that is not.
Our theory is that most of the time it will be the girl in the couple that is leading the charge for building a wedding website. She will take the time to pick the template/photos, write the couple's story, etc. We are not ruling out men though. The logo should appeal to both.
Most importantly, the logo should look professional (i.e. high quality) but not lose from being cute, lively, and fun.
The name 2wed has to meanings: "to wed" and "two wed"
Essentially, it is "to get married" or "two get married"
We have seen people play on the 2... as part of a heart... or as a swan. (I have included some examples).
The logo, however, should be simple and elegant. Not overly fancy or too intricate. Web is good. Old print style is bad. The logo should be highly readable... so no calligraphy.
Also, resist the urgent to create a logo only out of the name itself. Sometimes the best logos are a symbol... followed by the name. (This is only a suggestion).
The colors that you should stick to should be soft (a bit girly if you will). We think light blue, light brown, soft pink, soft yellow, peach, orange... these are the types of colors that work best.
The idea is to present something that is not too ornate, not cheezy.... but fresh, sophisticated, and fun.
For the most part, let your imagination run wild.
Submit your concepts, your thoughts, your first takes, second takes, etc. I plan on providing a lot of feedback and eliminating the ones I don't like at all.
I hope to make this iterative and collaborative so that we can quickly arrive at the perfect logo for our fledgling brand.
Oh and most of all... ask questions if there's anything I've left out.

Jake Kasdan's "Walk Hard - The Dewey Cox Story"
There really isn't much to say about the sadly inert, new Judd Apatow-driven comedy, "Walk Hard - The Dewey Cox Story," an alleged spoof of that subgenre, the crooner biopic. Not a bad idea but, as executed here, that's all it is - an idea, unfulfilled.
The title alone is emblematic of the film's desperately infantile humor - "cox," being the operative word. Cox. Get it? Nudge-nudge. What can I say? Some critics managed to locate humor in it.
I do, however, have one urgent question that I hope at least one person out there can answer: What is with the three - count 'em - three close-up shots of the flacid penis of a faceless, unidentified day player in the film's hotel orgy sequence? Is Apatow that anxious to obtain R-ratings for his films? I ask because nothing in this witless film warrants an R-rating, aside from the poor extra's penis whose inclusion, incidentally, is wildly gratuitous and which does nothing to advance what passes for plot here. But I'm happy to report that penis in question isn't particularly large; in fact, it's somewhat shorter than the attendant testicles behind it.
But I digress... The main problem with "Walk Hard - The Dewey Cox Story" is that it isn't remotely funny, followed by the fact that it recycles ideas and situations from other Apatow comedies from the past two or three years. If the scene of star John C. Reilly as rebel country singer Dewey Cox maniacally running around the street in just a jock strap seems naggingly familiar, that's because Will Ferrell did approximately the same thing just last year in Adam McKay's far superior "Talladega Nights - The Ballad of Ricky Bobby," which Apatow produced and in which Reilly co-starred. In fact, much of "Walk Hard" feels like a Will Ferrell reject.
Although Jake Kasdan is nominally listed as the director here, Apatow's finger prints are all over "Walk Hard." He even managed to encourage his unofficial mentor Harold Ramis to do a walk-on as a Hasidic record producer, a bit that's so offensive that even anti-Semites might be offended.
Current reservations aside, I think Apatow is generally great. His "Freaks and Geeks" TV series was a minor delight, while his 2005 directorial debut "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" was something of a heartening revelation - a breezy, in-your-face male-fantasy comedy but one with a big heart.
Nevertheless, Apatow's attempts to imitate the forumla in subsequent films - "Knocked Up" (whose smart heroine defied even loose movie-comedy logic and actually hooked up with a slacker/loser) and "Superbad" (whose main hero nurtured an out-of-control penis obsession) - have hinted at an early creative bankruptcy. Regressive males remain interesting - and droll - for just so long. After that, the characters become unattractive and their humor desperate and strained.
The critics who prematurely, and rather hastily, declared Apatow a comic genius - the latest Golden Boy in Hollywood to have all the answers for what ails the industry - have done him a disservice. He's no Preston Struges, as one noted reviewer implied (or, rather, exaggerated). And he's no Billy Wilder. At least, not yet. But he could be - if he's willing to move on, evolve.
As for the talented Reilly, between this film and "Criminal," it's become apparent that he's not ready to carry a film. He's one of film's top and most reliable character actors/second bananas. Given the right role and the right opportunity, he might grow into a Star. But "Walk Hard" doesn't provide that role.
Note in Passing: For what it's worth, "Walk Hard" looks great - thanks in large part to the contributions of cinematographer Uta Briesewitz, production designer Jefferson Sage, set decorator Dominic Silvestri and costume designer Debra McQuire. Actually, it looks too good. Too slick. Its opulence works against the antic comedy it's attempting.

It's too bad this one misses the mark. Music biopics are ripe for the plucking.
I admit it sounds like I enjoyed Knocked Up more than you, but it's also fair to say that film is rapidly fading from my memory.
It would be a shame if Apatow is creatively spent.

I think "Undeclared" is Apatow's best work. It fully captures the fun of college without all that pesky angst of high school/"Freaks and Geeks". It's also a lot more fun seeing college students who are afraid to grow up than seeing an older twentysomething (Knocked Up) with the same issues.

Most disappointing.
All I expected was some funny, and it had very little of it.
Maybe Judd Apatow, who I'm only barely familiar with, should take a little break?
I DO know he's put out about, what, 20 movies in 3 years!
- joe baltake said...
I agree. I don't think I laughed once, and I usually love low-down humor. I smiled a lot, that's all. I still think is blows a great idea and looms as a missed opportunity. Also, to repeat myself, the film looks too glossy for its own good. It should be more shaggy-looking.
- Unknown said...
"Freaks and Geeks" a minor delight? Have to disagree there, since it's maybe my favorite series of all time. And Apatow shares much credit for its success with creator/producer/writer Paul Feig.
As for "Walk Hard," I don't think it was an unqualified success by any means, but I got a fair amount of laughs from it. I think its shortcomings are due to Apatow and Kasdan working outside their comfort zone. It's nothing like "Freaks and Geeks," "Zero Effect," "Knocked Up" or "Superbad," but clearly these guys are more comfortable with the comparative realism of those works than with the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker style of parody. Also, the musical biopic genre isn't the ripest of targets. But the songs were nicely done and I thought Reilly did a great job.
I also disagree about the look of the film. I think they simply wanted it to look like the films they were parodying. Unnecessary perhaps, but not a big distraction for me.
Ultimately, of course, there's not much point in arguing comedy. If you laughed, it worked for you. If not, not.
- joe baltake said...
jbryant: You are so right. One can't realistically debate the merits of comedy - whether it be a film comedy, a TV sitcom or a stand-up routine. We all laugh at different things - hence, my appreciation of "Norbit" and disdain for "Walk Hard." I could go into a deeper analysis of each film, but the bottom line is that one film made me laugh, the other didn't. It has more to do with me than with the films themselves.
Judd Apatow was making great films YEARS before 40 Year Old Virgin. Heavyweights, anyone? Probably his greatest film ever?
And Walk Hard is amazing, especially the extended edition with bonus footage

Me and 2 of my friends would like to take a trip over to the ADK park and camp a couple of nights. We would be coming from the west on I90 through Utica so to save trip time we want to just barely enter the park itself. We basically want to make it there and then start hiking.
Growing up I spent plenty of time on the eastern side of the park so I am pretty unfamiliar with the western side.
We are looking for about a 5mi hike (on trail or off) to a body of water where we can set up camp for a couple of nights.
Does anyone have any experience, thoughts, ideas for this area? The more secluded, and less traveled the better.

Experience a Better Quality of Life with Implant-Supported Dentures
Speak clearly and chew efficiently.
Traditional dentures make enunciation difficult and limit you to foods that are soft or cut into small pieces. Implant-supported dentures let you speak clearly and enjoy all foods.

hello everyone,
I have a school project and I have no ideea where to start. I am a begginer and I need help understanding some things. The reason I am asking is because I can`t seem to find a straight answer to my problem no matter where I search for. Maybe I am asking the wrong question so I will try to describe my problem.
What I need to do is, to connect a java program to a database ( mysql ), and via GUI to display some records from a table.
Now, the table I am trying to display will be called "Flights", and has the next rows: "FlightiD","departure","destination","departureTime","arrivalTime","status",
The ideea is. that I need 2 GUI`s "Arrivals" and "Departures" that both take data from the table, and another one that allows me to modify the data into the table. Where do I find such a tutorial to help me do this? Is it possible for someone to show me pieces of code that will help me do this? How do I connect my java program to the database?
Of course the "Flights" table has data from other tables (company, Airport ).
I know it`s much to ask, but I need to start from somewhere and all the java tutorials I read and leaned, didn`t show me much about how I can do this.
Thank you for your help!

What kind of research does Silent Spring Institute conduct? Silent Spring Institute scientists work to identify the links between environmental pollutants and women's health, especially breast cancer. We focus primarily on chemicals in everyday products that cause mammary tumors in animals and those that can make breast cancer cells grow in a laboratory. read more >>
Why study the environment in the search for ways to prevent breast cancer? Until recently, most breast cancer research has focused on detection and treatment, with little attention paid to identifying preventable causes. Silent Spring Institute is looking for connections between breast cancer and exposure to harmful chemicals in the environment. Several lines of evidence show that we can identify ways to reduce breast cancer risk by finding additional environmental factors. read more >>
What is the precautionary principle? Simply put, the precautionary principle holds that it's better to be safe than sorry. This principle states that evidence of harm, rather than definitive proof of harm, should prompt policy action. The principle also calls for the burden of proof to lie with manufacturers to demonstrate that chemicals are safe, rather than with the public to show that they cause harm. read more >>
What are the recognized risk factors for breast cancer? Ionizing radiation—including exposure from x-rays and CAT scans—is an established environmental risk factor for breast cancer. read more >>
What is a geographic information system? A geographic information system (GIS) is a computerized database that can be used to store, analyze, and display data, particularly data associated with locations on a map. It is a powerful tool for research when a combination of geographic information is involved, as in health studies. read more >>
Why should I support Silent Spring Institute? Silent Spring Institute is a pioneer and recognized leader in breast cancer prevention research studies.

The league is now full.
I will randomize the draft order. Time for everybody to get serious about ranking the players and preparing for the draft.
Are you guys ready to go ahead and start the draft?
The league is now full.
I will randomize the draft order. Time for everybody to get serious about ranking the players and preparing for the draft.
Are you guys ready to go ahead and start the draft?
I'm ready, personally.
OK. Here is how I am going to determine the draft order.
I found a website that will randomly generate the draft order and email it to all the team owners. This is a way to guarantee that the draft order was indeed generated randomly.
I am entering everybody's email address into the program. Your email will not be spammed. If you did not allow your email address to be seen on the Yahoo league site then you will not receive the email.
You should get the email soon.
We can go ahead and start the draft process Thursday or Friday.
If you are going to be away from the Internet for long periods during the draft please let me know ASAP. We can try to arrange a way for you to keep in contact with me or someone else in the league to make sure you get to make your picks in the allotted time.
I will write up a good set of draft rules just to make sure we don't encounter any disputes during the draft. We want to make sure it is fair.
Here are the results of the draft randomization:
Nick has used the FFToolbox.com random draft order generator for the "Redszone Dynasty League" league. To verify the results visit this page: http://www.fftoolbox.com/draft_order...r.cfm?id=10661
The following draft order was randomly generated for your league:
1 - redsfandan
2 - Atomic Dumpling
3 - camisadelgolf is #1
4 - mbgrayson
5 - WMR Ghetty Green
7 - Gilpdawg
8 - *BaseClogger*
9 - TRF's debacle
10 - reds77
11 - Stephenk29
12 - nate
Even numbered rounds will be the reverse order.
When will you guys be ready to start? Can everybody be ready to start Thursday evening or Friday evening?
OMG, it's already rigged!
"Bring on Rod Stupid!"
Personally, I would prefer that we wait until like next Monday or something before we begin, but it's not a big deal...
I had the last pick in the Redszone NL-only league last year and came in second. In the Redszone AL-only league I picked 2nd to last and won the league. So the draft position doesn't really have much affect on the quality of your team.
If you have the first pick you don't get another one until the 24th pick. If you have the 12th pick you also get the 13th. There are plenty of stud players available at 12 and 13.
We are ready to start the draft. Please respond with your thoughts on the best time to start the draft. I am thinking Friday evening.
Draft rules:
1.You have 12 hours to make your pick. If you have not placed your pick within 12 hours, the next player can go ahead and pick. You can still make your pick as soon as you return to the website.
2. After you make your pick please email the next player to let him know it is his turn. This will speed up the draft. To send the email click on "Email League" at the top of any league page. Then click on the next player and send him a message.
3. Yahoo will add players to the database after the draft has begun. Any player that is not available in the list at the time of the first pick of the draft will not be eligible to be drafted for the duration of the draft. Those players will be available on waivers after the draft. This rule is to make sure all team owners have an equal shot at all players. The commissioner will keep a list of all players ineligible to be drafted.
4. To make your pick just post your draftee's name on the league message board like this: round.pick Player Name (1.1 Johan Santana or 5.12 Jay Bruce)
5. The commissioner will add your player to your team page as soon as possible. Before you pick, make sure the player has not already been drafted.
Please let me know if there is anything I have neglected to mention.
Please check the message board on the league website frequently for the latest information on the draft. I am also posting all information in the Redszone league thread.
You are encouraged to post frequently on the message board and the Redszone thread. Let's make this league fun and sociable this year. Trade offers and negotiations are highly encouraged as well.
Let's get this league rolling and have some fun. Baseball season is here!
If it works for everyone, we could start the draft immediately, but the 12-hour clock wouldn't start until Monday or whenever.
I'm ready to start ASAP.
Also, I don't really see how emailing the next owner will speed up the draft. I think it should be a given, and assumed, that we all will actively check the forum at yahoo to see if it is our pick. And to be honest, emailing the next owner is something I might be too lazy to do (have to be honest haha) or not even have the time to do (time is precious).
I'm first? Umm ok... anyone wanna trade picks??? j/k I'll stay with the 1st pick cuz I know who I'm going to take. The same player I would've taken in the dynasty draft I was in last year if I hadn't had the crazy idea to experiment with trading picks. It did make things more interesting though. Technically we also could trade picks since we will have a message board draft so I'll leave that as a suggestion for AD and everyone else to consider.
As far as when we start I would've liked a few more days but now that I know I'll be first it doesn't really matter THAT much to me. But a few more days could be helpful to people to prep and do a couple mock drafts, especially someone like WilyMo that's new to fantasy baseball. But it's up to you guys.
On emailing the next owner my opinion from experience is that it really does help. I wouldn't expect everyone to constantly check the site so a quick email helps. It only takes a minute to email the next person through the site and just say "you're up". If everyone at least tries to do that each time, even if it's not all the time, it will help.
Also, when people make their picks it would be helpful if people made sure to list the picks in the subject heading of the post and leave the body of the post for trash talking or whatever. It's easier that way when people check the site to see who has been taken.
"Now that's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that."
"I think were starting to get to the point where people are starting to get tired of this stretch of ball, Votto said. I think something needs to start changing and start going in a different direction. Im going to do my part to help make that change.
My preferred start date is Monday...
