Attributes and Production: GRP, the colloquial version `fibreglass´, glass fibre reinforced plastic – these are some of the names for a fibre and plastic composite made from a combination of pourable plastic (the matrix) and glass fibres whereby the fibres are embedded into the matrix. Glass fibres are thin threads that are pulled from molten glass; the matrix usually consists of duroplastic polyester or epoxy resin.
Although in other fields the special optical attributes of glass fibres are used for data transfer, in the case of GRP it is the mechanical attributes that come about as a result of combining the fibres with plastic that are important. This material is in fact less stiff than, for example, CRP or steel but it makes up for that by virtue of its high breaking strength combined with excellent flexibility and elasticity; simply put, it can be bent in very tight radii and put under stress without it breaking. In addition, glass fibre reinforced plastic is corrosion and weather resistant and has great electrical insulation attributes.
Depending on intended use, GRP is produced in different ways: The fibres are processed into textile-like, uniformly arranged weaves or, alternatively, into irregularly arranged layers (non-woven) and embedded in a plastic. When being used in the production of rods, tubes and profiles, the fibres are usually bunched into thicker strands (rovings). These fibre strands are then soaked with a plastic resin, heated and forced through an extrusion nozzle, whereupon they are cured. The fibres in this latter case are all aligned in the same direction (unidirectional).
Applications: Because of their flexibility, GRPs are used in the production of such things as springs and sports equipment, like archery bows and fishing rods. They also serve as the perfect stabilizing device for the arched shape of igloo-type tents. Kites are another area of use along with, in different (laminated) form, the making of boats and cars (surely many of you have experienced hurtling down the narrow chute of a giant waterslide at the local pool). Tailors also put fibreglass rods to use when making expansive crinolines in order to provide clothing with a sturdy, flexible and hopefully wearable scaffolding.
Treatment: GRP can be cut with a bow saw or a circular saw; there is the problem, however, that the ends will tend to fray to such an extent that even remedial measures will not really make it better. A band saw with a diamond band saw blade is the ideal tool to work with; i.e. a very hard band saw blade with a relatively tight tooth pattern (gulleted edge configuration). A PRECISION DRILL GRINDER with a (diamond coated) CUTTING DISC can also be used with good results.
Best gluing results are achieved when using a two-component epoxy adhesive. When elongating tubes or rods, it is best to employ an (additional) outer or inner mechanical connector like a sleeve or coupler.
GRP semi-finished products can be painted but, as is usually with such work, they should first be sanded and cleaned of dust and dirt before applying the paint.

For all those interested, I found the video for the Los Angeles Lakers' ring ceremony that took place last night. It was something for all Lakers' fans, as they managed to raise their 16th banner and collect the 2010 championship rings, which were made out of 2010 NBA Finals Game 7 ball's leather that crowned the Lakers champs.
What's special about this ring ceremony is how the Lakers' players all introduced one another after receiving their rings, which made them look more of a family rather than a team (and it also brought back the attention to the champs, not the wannabe champs).
Interesting points I noticed:
- If you pay attention when they are introducing the team staff, you'd notice that Tanter (the announcer) skips over an assistant coach and jumps off to Kareem Abdul Jabbar. That guy's name is Rashard Hazzard and he happens to be another special assistant coach (He got to thank the announcer, Hazzard is now like 100 times famous because of that and is being searched over the Internet. Like they say, any publicity is good publicity).
- Adam Morrison getting booed when Phil Jackson said his name (Well, after all, the guy literally did NOTHING in the Finals).
- At first, it sounded like Luke Walton was getting booed for some reason when coach Jackson introduced him. Turned out the crowd yelled "Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuke". Makes sense.
- They showed Khloe Kardashian when Lamar Odom received his ring, but it seems Maria Sharapova wasn't there to witness her fiancee Sasha Vujacic's second ring ceremony. It looks like the relationship is not TMZ material just yet.
- Andrew Bynum introduced Pau Gasol as the "greatest all around big" in the game (Bye bye Tim Duncan and Dirk Nowitzki), Shannon Brown introduced Derek Fisher as "El Presidento", Derek Fisher introduced Kobe Bryant as the "greatest basketball player in the world" (Take that LeBron!) and Kobe Bryant introduced Dr. Jerry Buss as the "greatest owner in team sports history".
- Ron Artest is giving out his ring in a raffle to raise metal health awareness (like the cause, but seriously dude, the ring?).
- Gotta love those that are called as "Special Assistant coaches". Just say what they do!

Norwich's recreation director, emergency management director and senior center head will keep their jobs next year, but three other city workers won't be as lucky under a $116.3 million 2013-14 budget approved Monday by aldermen. It's a $1.57 million increase over the current year.
Norwich's recreation director, emergency management director and senior center head will keep their jobs next year, but three other city workers won't be as lucky under a $116.3 million 2013-14 budget approved Monday by aldermen. It's a $1.57 million increase over the current year.
The spending plan will raise property taxes by 2.6 percent to a rate of 27.23 mills.
Officials traded sharp exchanges over the necessity of paying for certain jobs over others, saying this year's deliberations were among the toughest the council has faced.
"We're trying to make some decisions here that benefit everyone, not to get re-elected next year," City Council President Pro Tempore Peter Desaulniers said.
Ultimately, the council opted to eliminate a caseworker and accounting clerk in the human services department and a part-time code clerk in the fire department.
The case worker's job goes away March 31; the fire code clerk is eliminated on July 1, when the next fiscal year begins; and the account clerk's job is gone in late September. A public works laborer post will filled right away.
"I don't think there's anyone here who relishes what we have to do, but it is necessary because we are the gatekeepers of the financial situation of this city," alderwoman Deb Hinchey said.
Hinchey, a Democrat running for mayor, clashed with fellow mayoral hopeful Charlie Jaskiewicz, who said he was "morally and ethically" opposed to financing vacant jobs over keeping employees already working for the city.
That was his motivation for voting against a $290,000 allocation to allow for the filling of three vacant posts.
"I still have a problem in filling any vacant position when there's any city employee that's currently losing their job. I don't understand the concept of filling vacant positions to lose employees on both the city side and education side. I'm totally opposed to that," Jaskiewicz said
Prior to Monday's vote, several residents and employees offered last-minute pleas to the council, including two employees in the department of planning and neighborhood services whose jobs were on the line but ultimately saved.
"We make it look seamless with our cuts. We can't make it seamless no more," said Ed Martin, a blight enforcement officer. "The services are going to be hindered, no doubt about it."
The council was unanimous in its decision to preserve Jacqueline Barbarossa, an administrative planning secretary who has been with the city for 15 years and oversees the distribution of notices to collect fees. Eliminating her job would harm the city's economic development, aldermen said.
"I think it's very important we keep that person in that position, mostly because when people come from out of town and are looking to develop in our community, I think it's important they have the customer service that they need, and it's pretty light in there as it is," said Tucker Braddock.
"Thank you," Barbarossa said following the vote.
Derrell Wilson, president of Norwich Branch NAACP's youth group, told the council they were harming the city's young people by underfunding the school system.
"What decision you make helps or hinders many generations to come," Wilson said. "This budget affects a lifetime worth of knowledge."
City leaders narrowly voted to give the Board of Education $150,000 more next year, to $70.53 million total. Mayor Peter Nystrom proposed increasing the allocation to $300,000, which was supported by Jaskiewicz and Bettencourt. Braddock, Desaulniers, Hinchey and alderwoman Sofee Noblick opposed the move.
Superintendent Abby Dolliver said district officials are still analyzing how much in state aid schools may receive and have a special budget meeting planned for next week.

A 21-year-old college student who had returned home for spring break was arrested after allegedly beating his 53-year-old mother to death using a baseball bat because he believed she was an intruder and he was defending himself.
Kane County Prosecutors on Monday charged Thomas Summerwill, 21, with two counts of second degree murder for the beating death of his mother, Mary Summerwill. A judge set a $300,000 bond for the University of Wisconsin-Madison student.
Prosecutors say on the morning of March 24, Summerwill was woken by someone in his room who he believed was an intruder. The college student grabbed a souvenir baseball bat hanging over his bed, and struck the 'intruder' multiple times in the head, apparently not realizing it was his mother. Thomas and his father called 911 that morning shortly after the attack. His mother Mary was transported to a local hospital where she later died from her injuries. The coroner's office determined that she had most likely died from injuries sustained from a baseball bat attack.
Prosecutors say that because they believe Summerwill was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident, his belief there was an intruder in his room was "not reasonable."
Liam Dixon, Summerwill's defense attorney, told the Chicago Tribune that his client has the full support of his family members and classified the incident as a "horrible accident."
"It was a freak accident and a tragic, horrible story all the way around," Dixon said.
Summerwill, who has no criminal history, just completed his junior year of college after graduating from St. Charles North High School. The 21-year-old is due back in court on May 23.
If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison.

then non-smokers and smoking will make your symptoms worse.
As it's recognized that dust is almost everywhere, it's important to try to limit exposure as much as possible.

A chronic cough, wheezing, breathing difficulties and a tight chest have also been associated with the common smoker's cough. This is unfortunate as there are many environmental factors that can contribute to an infection and caused these types of symptoms.
Allergies due to dust and pollution are very common nowadays. The dust particles enter the nose and make a person sneeze. It could also lead to other diseases like
and asthma. Allergies due to pollution, candle smoke, incense stick etc could create various upper respiratory problems. People with upper respiratory problems have itching in the throat and ear also. Breathing difficulty could also exist. At home, dust particles in the mattress, pillows etc could also lead to allergies. Even domestic cats and dogs hair could lead to allergies. Consult your physician if you are allergic to any substance immediately.
Types of bronchitis are: Acute
- which onset quick and you get rid of it in a few weeks. Chronic bronchitis- onsets quick and keeps returning, each time it returns it stays longer. Causes of bronchitis are: colds, flu, hay fever, allergies, sinus, asthma and other upper respiratory problems. Some household chemicals and antihistamines, which are taken for the relief of cold, flu, hay fever and allergies, can make your bronchitis worse.
This is all down to one man who being a smoker kept getting bronchitis himself, and as he was a medical researcher he began to look into what caused
in the first place. What he found was that he needed to get rid of the germs that caused the infection in the first place, and using himself as a guinea pig he eventually came up with the answer.

Exposure to chemical fumes and odors may compromise an otherwise healthy respiratory system. This in turn can lead to sensitivity to other environmental factors like dust, but also both primary and secondary tobacco smoke. While the validity of the effects of secondhand smoke are continue to be debated, it has been shown to be an important breathing factor for those with a compromised respiratory system. All of these factors can contribute to the chronic cough experienced by many asthma, allergy and

If you are a smoker you are a prime target to get an infection and by using this natural cure you will find that you no longer need those antibiotics from your Doctor.
According to the Mayo Clinic, a well regarded medical facility,
and the resulting cough can also be caused from stomach acid irritating for food pipe or esophagus. This is better known as acid reflux disease.
Please note that I am not a Doctor or am I in any way qualified to give opinion in medical matters, and that I only write on what I call common sense and that the patient should make their own mind up with regard to these things. (If you've ever had side affects from drugs prescribed to you I think you will understand what I mean.)
One such environmental factor is dust. While dust is a common substance found everywhere, it's especially problematic for those of us who may have a compromised respiratory system. A less than ideal breathing tract is found in people suffering with asthma, many allergies and yes even smokers. What's been ignored in many cases however, is that exposure to chemicals can cause a sensitivity to environmental factors such as dust.
If you keep taking antibiotics for Bronchitis you find that after awhile they become less affective. In normal medical practice you don't have much option as that hacking cough tries to remove the infected phlegm that the infection causes.

treatment worked, and since that day thousands of people have tried this new cure and the testimonials are sound proof that it works.

With the NHL in the middle of another lockout, ESPN analyst/hockey man/mullet person Barry Melrose has been occasionally chronicling his thoughts on Twitter the past several weeks. In that time, we've seen hockey's only voice on the Worldwide Leader slowly lose his hopes for an NHL season.
In the first few days of the lockout, Barry came out firing with frustration over the constant bickering between both sides:
After a month without commenting, Barry came back with some actual optimism after the owners submitted a proposal to the NHLPA. Things were looking up!
That hope was short-lived, though, and Barry's tweets soon took a sad turn.
Jesus. Do you see what you're doing to poor Barry Melrose, NHL? You're reducing him to recollecting his fond memories of hockey, like a washed-up high school football star who still wears his letterman jacket when he goes to the hardware store. Barry, you deserve better. Stay strong, and remember: there's always some hockey you can watch. We suggest the re-broadcast of Game 3 of the 2006 Western Conference finals between the Ducks and Oilers, which airs tonight at 1 a.m. on the NHL Network.

A Sydney mother became so obsessed with making her two young daughters famous she sent lewd naked photos of the pair to a dance teacher because she believed it would advance their careers, a court has heard.
The woman, who cannot be named, on Monday admitted in court to sending the photographs for more than two years to renowned Sydney dance teacher Grant Davies, who allegedly told her the pictures made him "excited and horny".
"I knew it wasn't right but I didn't know how to stop it," she said during a sentencing hearing in Sydney's Downing Centre District Court.
"I am ashamed and embarrassed."
The mother pleaded guilty last December to producing and disseminating child abuse material. The court heard that Mr Davies, the co-director of the well renowned but now defunct RG Dance at Chiswhick, requested the photos via text message and in person.
The woman, who was supported in court by her husband, said she could not say no to the dance teacher as she had become totally "obsessed and focused" with the girls and the dance studio, whose students had gone on to perform in major productions and dance overseas.
She said she and her children were scared of Mr Davies and she "did everything he told me to do".
But the court was read text messages exchanged between the pair during which the woman admitted the conversation appeared to be "joking and frivolous".
In one Mr Davies is alleged to have asked the mother in November 2011 "are the girls naked?", to which she responded "no. Lol" followed by "how about on the weekend they do you some more special G-shots?"
When he replied "why wait?", the mother sent sexually explicit photos half an hour later of her daughter.
"That has made me excited and horny," Mr Davies allegedly wrote.
The woman told the court she was "just playing along" in the text messages and she did not feel as threatened because Mr Davies wasn't in the room.
She admitted she only stopped sending the photos because Mr Davies was arrested by police in May 2013. The 40-year-old dance teacher appeared in Burwood Local Court in a separate hearing on Monday charged with 63 child sex offences relating to 10 of his former students. The abuse allegedly spanned over 10 years.
The woman's sentencing hearing heard on Monday from a psychiatrist, Antony Milch, who said the girl's mother was obsessed with dancing and fame, motivated mainly by her failed career as a dancer.
"She wanted her daughters' careers advanced," Dr Milch said. "This was assisted by the sending of the photographs."
The mother also enjoyed the secretive nature of the relationship and the attention she got from Mr Davies, he said.
The girls, who were aged under 14 at the time the photographs were taken, were confused about what exactly their mother had done and why it was wrong, the court was told.
One girl told Dr Milch: "[The mother] sent nude photos of me and my sisters to [Mr Davies]. I don't think it was wrong because we had to do everything he said."
Judge Peter Zahra on Monday revoked the woman's bail, placing her into custody for the first time since she was arrested last August. Judge Zahra said he was concerned that the woman was not currently undertaking any treatment or counselling for her behaviour and indicated a jail sentence was likely.
The sentencing hearing continues next month.

Although the Republican tax bill will likely pass this week, it will take months for experts to wade through the 503-page document to fully understand the implications of the many breaks and loopholes buried in the legislation. Here are some of the clear winners and losers so far:
8 Winners
1. Big business: Slashing the top corporate tax from 35 percent to 21 percent is a clear win for U.S. businesses, especially those who currently pay higher rates, like big retailers. The bill also eliminates the corporate alternative minimum tax, making it possible for some businesses to lower their rate below 21 percent through the use of various deductions. And multinationals with billions of dollars in profits offshore will be forced to bring that money home, but at rates ranging from 8 percent to 15.5 percent.
2. Real estate investors: Property owners already receive considerable benefits from the tax code, and a last-minute tweak added to the tax bill sweetens the pot, allowing landlords — including such notable figures as President Trump and Sen. Bob Corker — to take advantage of new tax breaks for pass-through businesses.
3. Pass-throughs: Most businesses in the U.S. are organized as pass-through entities, and the tax bill gives most of them a big break — a 20 percent deduction straight off the top line. Most of the benefit will flow to high-income households.
4. Individual taxpayers — until 2026: The majority of taxpayers will get a tax cut starting next year, though for many the size of the cuts will be modest. Although the alternative minimum tax remains in place, it now kicks in at a significantly higher level, shielding more upper-middle income households.
5. Wealthy heirs: The cutoff for paying estate taxes will be doubled to roughly $11 million for individuals and $22 million for couples, further reducing the number of estates exposed to the tax.
6. Wall Street: During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump frequently complained about the rules for carried interest that allow some large investors to pay a lower tax rate. Those rules remain in place for the most part, much to the relief of many fund managers.
7. Tax planners: Republicans have talked about simplifying the tax code, but the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is anything but simple. NYU tax expert Dan Shaviro predicts "there will be many billions of dollars" in transactions designed to reduce tax liability in the near future, meaning lots of billable hours for tax experts.
8. Supply-side conservatives: "This, if it passes, will be the single biggest policy triumph for conservatives since the 1996 welfare reform," supply-side economist Stephen Moore told Politico. Long-time supply-sider Grover Norquist added that he thinks there's more coming: "This tax cut and reform will drive further reforms and reductions for the next 50 years." But will supply-siders still be crowing in five years?
5 Losers
1. Most individual taxpayers after 2025: The corporate tax cuts are permanent but many of the individual cuts expire after 2025. The majority of households will see higher taxes after that date, assuming Congress doesn't step in to maintain the cuts.
2. Top earners in high-tax states: The tax bill imposes new limits on deductions for state and local taxes ($10,000) and mortgage interest ($750,000 on new purchases). Many high-income households in New York, California and other high-tax states will feel the pinch.
3. Workers on payroll: The tax bill gives a larger tax break to owners of businesses than to their employees, even if they do the same kind of work for the same pay.
4. Doctors and lawyers: Some high-income pass-through businesses, including many law firms and medical practices, will be unable to take advantage of new tax breaks for pass-through income.
5. Deficit hawks: It's not clear that there are many deficit hawks left in the Republican Party, but anyone concerned about the size of the national debt can't be happy with a bill that adds more than $1 trillion — and potentially as much as $2.2 trillion — to it.

My apologies, but for the past couple of days AZ and I have been trying to fix an important site function in the SwarmUSA.com software and were not making progress on the site because of it. Last night we performed a system restore back to the time the code began malfunctioning. That did repair the code, unfortunately it also wiped away everything done on the site since February 3rd. Part of what it wiped away was all the registrant information since that time.
This means that you may need to re-register for the site. Also, information posted in The Hive since that time was also lost.
We took this action now knowing that it will be better to do it sooner than later. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate everyone's support and patience as we get familiar with the new software and site. Thank you!

The Royalty of San Diego's South Bay: Imperial Beach
Posted by Jody on February 19, 2014
When I think of Imperial Beach, California, I think of everything surfing: from genuine Southern California surfers riding the waves to the community's public art, the outdoor "Surfboard Museum" and even the surfboard shaped bus stop benches! This town always brings to mind classic Beach Boys surfin' tunes.
Imperial Beach has so much more to offer than surfing, though. Here you'll find 3 ½ miles of clean, white, sandy beach stretching southward to the US-Mexico border. With splendid views of San Diego and Coronado to the north, somehow Imperial Beach never seems crowded. It's less than 13 miles from Downtown San Diego, so Greg and I are always happy to either make the drive or hop on the bus and head on down to this lovely stretch of beach. If we had to choose, we'd likely tell you that this is our favorite strand of San Diego's "South Bay."
According to the their official website, the City of Imperial Beach is "the most southwesterly city in the continental United States. Flanked by the Pacific Ocean and South San Diego Bay, our town is nestled between miles of uncrowded beaches, big surf and unparalleled open space and wetlands teeming with wildlife. Because this town is one of the last untouched beach towns in Southern California, we are known as Classic Southern California®."
Beachcombing is lots of fun here. We always find something interesting on the sands of Imperial Beach. Once Greg and I came home with a lovely collection of multicolored Donax clam shells, very typical of Southern California beaches. The last time we visited, we found large, heavy clam shells, sand dollars and California mussels.
From what I have been able to search out, these sturdy clams are Common Washington Clams (Saxidomus nuttalli), also known as Butter Clams. Our largest Washington Clam find on Imperial Beach measures 4 ¾" wide, but we have found these particular seashells up to 5 ¼" wide on other South Bay beaches. Their range is from Humbolt Bay, California to northern Baja California.
This area is well-known for year round coastal birdwatching (a printable map of birdwatching areas is available online). For the botanist, there is an interesting variety of coastal vegetation, too. Of course, swimming and sunbathing are also very popular pastimes! With all that Imperial Beach has to offer, I'd say it's "One Shell of a Find!"
If you'd like to learn about the interesting history of surfing at Imperial Beach and the big wave break "Tijuana Sloughs" that made this area famous in the surfing world, you'll want to check out "Riders of The Tijuana Sloughs," at LegendarySurfers.com.
Surfin' USA
If everybody had an ocean
Across the U. S. A.
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like Californi-a
You'd see 'em wearing their baggies
Huarachi sandals too
A bushy bushy blonde hairdo
Surfin' U. S. A.
~Brian Wilson/Chuck Berry
We'd love to hear about your favorite Southern California beach!

Hi Jody,
I always love your posts! By the way, I think your big clams are Pismo Clams — they are common in Imperial Beach, especially if you walk north from town. The Butter Clams are there also (I think you posted a pic of one in the past), but they have more raised ridges and a slightly different shape.
Thanks for sharing your beach adventures!

The new company reports that it will reach more than 11 million consumers in health and fitness facilities worldwide.
SAN FRANCISCO - At press time, the awaited merger between Netpulse Communications, E-Zone Networks and Xystos Media Networks (see The Inside Track, September) was coming to a close. The combined interactive entertainment company is now called Netpulse E-Zone Media Networks.
Netpulse E-Zone Media Networks will operate from a San Francisco headquarters under the guidance of a new executive team made up of leaders from the merged companies. Tom Proulx, former CEO of Netpulse and co-founder of Intuit Inc., and Robert McKenzie, former CEO of E-Zone and co-founder of MetroNet Communications (now AT&T Canada), both carry the new title of co-executive chairman. Andrew Wiswell - the senior vice president who joined E-Zone last year to help build Club TV, the advertising stream portion - is the CEO elect.
In addition to Wiswell, Proulx and McKenzie, company leaders include board member Leonard Schlemm, formerly chairman of Xystos and co-founder of 24 Hour Fitness. Nat Findlay, former president of Xystos, will head up efforts to expand the new company into select international markets.
Noticeably absent from this lineup is Mike Stein, who recently came from StairMaster to join E-Zone's upper management. "Mike has left the company by mutual agreement," Wiswell told Club Industry. "The merger only created so many senior spots. He has agreed to stay on in the transition period."
Management wasn't the only thing affected by this merger. Prior to the deal, the respective companies had either formed or had begun to form alliances with other entertainment companies - namely Cardio Theater (in the case of E-Zone) and BroadcastVision and ClubCom (in the case of Netpulse). How does this merger affect them?
"We have a marketing arrangement with Cardio Theater, and that will continue into the merger," Wiswell replied. "Netpulse had some discussions with ClubCom and BroadcastVision, and we'll look at those as we move forward."
Although BroadcastVision officials were unavailable for an interview, Vice President Tony Garcia did release a statement to Club Industry in which he commented about the merger and its effect on his company and the industry. "Clearly, the entertainment opportunities within our industry are exploding," he wrote. "Customers are demanding quality entertainment solutions and proven revenue opportunities such as those presented by ClubCom. This has created challenges for manufacturers in satisfying an overwhelming demand. Fortunately, BroadcastVision has properly forecasted this evolution and is well positioned to immediately deliver its wireless entertainment products and personal viewing screens to more than 4,500 existing customers.
"As to the Netpulse and E-Zone merger, we have had a good working relationship with Netpulse and we congratulate them. We understand their need to merge the companies in an effort to better position them for fund-raising in order to satisfy their commitments to select national accounts."
Indeed, there are many commitments. When E-Zone and Netpulse both shifted to advertising as a main source of revenue, they offered to give away their entertainment systems to clubs that could guarantee a high level of member traffic - the idea being that a large, captive audience of consumers would support the companies' ad-based model.
While the companies ended their free offers in the spring, 20,000 terminals still remain contracted. "We will continue to raise the capital to fund the installs," Wiswell said. "We are out raising that capital this fall. We are committed to satisfying the demand for this product."
And this product will be changing - for the better, according to Wiswell. The combined companies are working toward an integrated platform that provides the best of their networks, including Internet access, television, and music and video on demand, as well as club news, information and advertising opportunities.
Meanwhile, existing customers can expect modified software that will give members new functionality and a similar interface. For example, someone with existing Netpulse units should be able to offer the one-on-one training of the E-Zone network. The limitations will depend upon the club's network.
While the company will tweak its product, it doesn't plan to change its revenue stream. Yes, leasing equipment will provide profit opportunities, but Netpulse E-Zone Media Networks intends to make most of its money by selling to companies that want to deliver a marketing message to club members, who tend to inhabit a well-educated, affluent market. "The bulk will be advertising and sponsorships from people who want to reach an attractive demographic," Wiswell said.
The company also hopes to branch out beyond the club industry, to design entertainment and advertising products for other audiences. "We see that our mission as a company is to grow into other targeted markets," Wiswell said. "We have talked to people in other verticals, any places where people are captive."
However, Wiswell made it clear that the company won't serve new markets at the expense of its core club market. "Our commitment to the health and fitness industry is very strong," he said. "It's the market we started in, and the one we will continue to work on. We are excited about serving the industry."

Through the use of recycled commercial fitness equipment, Operation FitKids provides fitness facilities to communities in need. Working with local high schools, organizations and youth groups, Operation FitKids creates fitness centers, at minimal cost, to provide adolescents and teenagers with greater access to comprehensive physical fitness programs.
Club Industry encourages you to help Operation FitKids meet its goal of opening 100 new facilities a year. Corporate and private sponsors that share the goal of encouraging kids to get active and fit can give tax-deductible donations to help drive the program nationwide. A financial donation will help provide OFK fitness facilities to communities in need and educate the public, media and legislators about the value of Operation FitKids.

Beat the Streak Report: Weekend, May 21-23
Ryan Braun (7.7 percent) and Jayson Werth (4.1 percent) were Thursday's notable dragon slayers, as five of the day's top six picks each got hits to combine to extend the streaks of about 30 percent of our users combined.
And with that, a graceful warning to all of those sitting at their computers without a seatbelt on:
This weekend is going to be a bit bananas because it's …Interleague Play!!! Hiyooooo!
And you know what that means: an endless amount of hitters looking absolutely cross-eyed at the plate because they're facing a bounty of pitchers they've never seen before, and likely won't be seeing again.
Like beating a pinata full of peanut butter M&Ms (how good are those?), this is never not fun.
This would be even more thrilling but for the whole trying to win $3,000,000 thingy.
Oh, well…
On to the weekend picks.
Oh, hello there …
? Russell Martin: .500 AVG (4-for-8) lifetime vs. Tigers starter Dontrelle Willis; 15-game hitting streak.
? Michael Cuddyer: .429 AVG (6-for-14) lifetime vs. Brewers starter Dave Bush
? Raul Ibanez: .375 AVG (14-for-48) lifetime vs. Red Sox starter John Lackey
? Orlando Cabrera: .444 AVG (4-for-9) lifetime vs. Indians starter Fausto Carmona
? Jack Cust: .400 AVG (4-for-10) lifetime vs. Giants starter Matt Cain
? Mark Teixeira: .308 AVG (4-for-13) lifetime vs. Mets starter Mike Pelfrey
? Chipper Jones: .524 AVG (11-for-21) lifetime vs. Pirates starter Zach Duke
? Derek Jeter: .423 AVG (11-for-23) lifetime vs. Mets starter Johan Santana
? Bobby Abreu: .565 AVG (13-for-23) lifetime vs. Cardinals starter Chris Carpenter
Feeling kinda spicy?
? Jamey Carroll: .455 AVG (5-for-11) since '05 vs. Tigers starter Dontrelle Willis. Anything goes when it comes to the D-Train.
? David Eckstein: .333 AVG (7-for-21) lifetime vs. Mariners starter Ian Snell. Yeah, why not?
? Martin Prado: .500 AVG (6-for-12) lifetime vs. Pirates starter Zach Duke. Actually, considering Prado's .322 average, this one isn't so crazy. At all.
You'll thank me later …
? Justin Morneau: .188 AVG (3-for-16) lifetime vs. Brewers starter Dave Bush
? Jason Bay: .167 AVG (2-for-12) lifetime vs. Yankees starter Javier Vazquez
? Ryan Braun: .154 AVG (2-for-13) lifetime vs. Twins starter Kevin Slowey
? Prince Fielder: .182 AVG (2-for-11) lifetime vs. Twins starter Kevin Slowey
? Jorge Cantu: .200 AVG (1-for-10) lifetime vs. White Sox starter Freddy Garcia
? Alex Rodriguez: .217 AVG (5-for-23) lifetime vs. Mets starter Johan Santana
Leaderboard time!
Ryan Braun's 0-fer cut the cord on "blakerockwell"'s 28-game streak. This means that "pandrews59" is king of the castle with a 26-game run. 31 more consecutive days with hits and "pandrews59" can afford to have one of those gumball machines that has a spiral ramp at the bottom that looks like a waterslide.
A gumball waterslide.
I love those.
Top MLB streakers
? Russell Martin: 15 games
? John Buck: 10 games
? Jeff Mathis: 10 games (DL)
? Jhonny Peralta: 10 games
? J.J. Hardy: 8 games (DL)
? Prince Fielder: 8 games
? Travis Hafner: 8 games
? Derek Jeter: 8 games

Despite being hitless last night against my beloved Yankees, am leaning towards Evan Longoria. Any thoughts fellow bloggers?? 🙂 Good luck to all of you – hope you all survive the big weekend!!!
Braves @ Pitt is the only intraleague game today and the Braves have been putting runs on the board lately. Plus Hudson's on the mound for the Bravo's. TB Rays or ATL for the Survivor win today? SF reset my streak of 6 back to 0 last night so I don't have much to lose. BTS… The Mets hit Vasquez well when he pitched for Atlanta, but I have a rule about never picking a hit, HR or win against my beloved Yankees! I'm leaning towards an AL Player from the Rays, NYY, MIN, or TEX. However, Scott Rolen (CIN) may be my pick to get me to 10. Good Luck!!!
Like I said I have Ichiro tonight. I'm going to stick it with him despite the fact that he is hitting .241 against lefties. He is hitting .357 in the last 7 days and .389 at night so numbers look positive.
nardberg..I think your pick of Longoria is a very good choice actually. Seeing as how the Rays are playing the Astros and opposing hitters are hitting almost .300 against Myers, you really can't go wrong with picking any Ray that bats in the top 5 or 6 of their order. I personally am going with Carl Crawford today because I like the lefty-righty match up otherwise I would have gone with Longoria as well. GL to you and everyone else this weekend, it could get crazy!!!
dragbunt: Under STATS on MLB.com you can see who is HOT in hits, HRs, RBIs, etc…. for the past 7 or 30 days.
ive got Longoria. but i tell ya, after the week the Rangers are having this week and hitting almost everything in sight.
wonder how many will be picked. BTS leader is 26 with only 13 people having active streaks of 20 or more.
i have atlanta in survivor. wow the active streak leader in survivor is only 10
Running with hot Rays and Crawford tonight.
Taking Nationals to defeat O's in Survivor. My new strategy is to take games with non-premier teams and it seems to be working.
HR BTS = Ryan Zimmerman
Is there a site that shows the top say 20 hitters over the past 7 days besidens the Current Hit Streaks site? I know you can see how each player is doing on ESPN or MLB sites individually but is there a site with a list of hot hitters?
Good luck to all today.
Dragbunt, what is your email again?
See if this helps, Mr. Dragbunt: http://rotoassist.com/2010/05/08/hot-hitters-of-the-last-week/
(found by googling "hot hitters")
I haven't attended my fellow bloggers the past couple of weeks; instead, I wasted time following my Reds, who yesterday awakened me to reality with their debacle in Atlanta (with a six-run lead blown in the bottom of the ninth, after they built an 8-0 lead in the second). I did, however, read someone's motion to rotate a trophy among annual Blogger BTS champions. I second that, and propose a small, subtle award, one that can be mailed in a USPS flat-rate box.
Professor Pete
deb23 and Professor Pete thanks for the info.
The prize for the year will be a trophy that I will mail to the blogger who has the longest streak at "The Bloggers" site.
Should be interesting.
Raining like crazy in Chicago – ChiSox v. Marlins will be played (if played) under tough conditions. You may want to stay away.
That's a pretty cool website, thanks Pete. I know I'll look at that when making my picks now. I'm surprised more people haven't been on yet, who does everyone have picked for today? With inter-league starting this could be exciting for some and lousy for others, haha. Like I said previously, I have Carl Crawford as the Rays are playing the Astros and I think everyone in the Rays line-up will hit today, especially with Myers on the mound.
Well I had Ichiro but I don't like his numbers against lefties so I switched to Michael Young of Texas.
I'm going with either Jeter or Crawford. Both visiting teams, Jeter has a small streak going and TB's hitting vs. Myers may put double digit hits on the board. TB for the Survivor win and Longoria going long in BTS HR.
Dragbunt, go back to the MLB home page and click on stats at the top of the page. it will give you leaders in batting average and other things. you can pick to see whos hot in the last seven or 30 days.
PEEKING ahead, there is only FOUR Games on Monday
I'm going with Russell Martin. He has a .500 average against Willis and a 15 game hitting streak. Bad idea? Doesn't look like it.
I'm locked in on Young and he looks like a great pick as well since Lilly is very inconsistent. Good luck to all tonight.

interesting pick for the leader
Hey guys, first time posting but read everyday. Went with Braun tonight and he doubled first at bat to get my streak to 3. I'm going with Crawford tomorrow. Good luck to everyone tonight.
Young got a single to center in first AB so I'm up to 6 now. Going with Tex tomorrow as of now but may change.
May be an interesting pick for the leader, but Lewis just hit a homerun.
WOW!! Great outing by Myers for HOU! 28.4% on Survivor, including me, didn't see that one coming.
Again I pick a player only to have him not play! Grrrr!! I just hope he doesn't pinch hit. Or if he does, he better get a hit.
who would have thought that the twins have 17 hits and Mauer right now has none of em.
hanley ramirez and dustin pedroia have gone hitless
bravesfan – thanks! thought i was dead in the water but Longoria went 1-for-3. So onto Saturday we go……..right now am leaning towards Ichie……good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Nardberg. Ichiro is going to be a good pick this series but I have him on Sunday. I have Teixeira tomorrow but he isn't hitting right now and will be changing him but to who? I don't know yet.
I'm leaning towards Prado right now on Saturday. Pirates pitchers are hittable and did you see that. Twins score 15 runs and have 17 hits and Mauer goes 0-3. This is why Dragbunt said to never pick him in BTS.
Joe Mauer MIN 14.5% 0-for-3 lol
Dustin Pedroia BOS 3.5% 0-for-4
Ryan ZimmermanWSH2.5% 0-for-3
Albert Pujols STL 2.4% 0-for-3 lol
Carl Crawford TB 2.0% 0-for-5
Hanley RamirezFLA 1.5% 0-for-4 lolololololol
Matt Holliday STL 1.4% 0-for-5
27.8% of streaks are reset because of these players. cant believe anyone would pick hanley during the current hustle fiasco. anyway Tulo extends my streak to 16 games, not sure who to pick tomorrow but thinking about taking someone goofy. gl
i dont know rip2 i just make statements sometimes without checking the previous games, but the simple fact that mark buehrle was on the mound should have been enough to stay away from hanley. After I saw hanley kick that ball into the left field corner and then take a stroll through the park jog to go get it, I wont be having many nice things to say about hanley. But I also believe strongly in redemption and the possibility for someone to change, so Hanley its about time you wake up and realize just exactly how fortunate you are to be making millions playing baseball as well as living in the greatest country in the world. All the fans want is for you to give 100% effort every game, not so much to ask for is it?
@OneHeartbeatAway – Why would you be shocked? Before today's game H. Ramirez was 4-for-8 in the 2 games since he was back in the lineup. 3 hits Wednesday, 1 yesterday. Just a dominant game by Buehrle.
I agree about both. Buehrle's too risky for me to choose Hanley & he is probably the most spoiled player in baseball. Hopefully after the talks he had with David Ortiz, Andre Dawson, & Tony Perez, all who gave him a stern talking-to & had him apologize, made him realize that.
hi vinny – Tex still scares me. I was actually considering Brett Gardner but I got scared off by this last 7 day average (which is under .300.) Might just stick with Ichie. Not sure who else to go with. Been getting burned so much lately!!! good luck – will keep my eye on Tex. Since I'm not picking him today, he'll likely hit for the cycle lol………..
Well guys and girls I went with Prado today. He is facing Morton and he may not of have faced him yet but Morton always gets hit so I'm going with Prado. Love the pick and this is going to be my last post for today as I have to work and I won't be able to check the site on my Ipod as it takes too long to load. So good luck to all today.
Sat – Prado – Zobrist?
As a Cub fan I also keep my eye on ChiSox. Take these two bits of advice to the bank.
1. Never pick against Mark Buerele when he pitches at home at "The Cell". Think of yourself as the mailman and you see a pitbull (Buerele) snarling at you behind a fence where the mailbox is located. A wise mailman would skip the delivery to that mailbox on this day just as a wise BTS player would look to another game that day.
2. Stay away from games that Freddy Garcia starts as he is hot right now.
HR BTS hoping that Jayson Werth can go deep against a vulnerable Matuzaka of BoSox.
Survivor: Braves
Nardberg, I switched to Prado. Tex has one hit in his last 19 ABs so I don't think so. Prado is hot again and I'm going with him against the Pirates. I have the Braves in Survivor and Youk in HR BTS.
Who to pick? Prado, McCann, Jeter, Mark Tex, Crawford or Orlando Cabrera? Decisions…. decisions…..
I have Cabrera today, but I'm thinking of changing to someone else. Not sure who. Can't pick any Yankee as I'm a Met's fan. Wait, yes I can because $3M is on the line.
OK, changed to Brett Gardner. Not too sure if I'm happy with that pick, but I guess we shall see. GL everyone!
Michael Young is probably is the hottest hitters going right now. batting 481 in the last seven games.

I said I would make a goofy pick today with a 16 gamer on the line , so I went with Todd Helton after his 0-4 last night, Im banking on the due factor and the Kyle Davies factor, not an incredibly goofy pick but haven't seen anyone else pick him today. gl
Finally out of the double Ofer's on the Bloggers standings. I read that Austin Jackson hit in 19 of 20 road games so went with him yesterday….sticking with him again today. Good luck to all!!
took christian guzman today and he got a hit in the 1st inning. that brings my streak back up to 3. at this point ive got orlando cabrera tomorrow against the very hittable david huff

thats a good plan but i will say you should stay away from him tomorrow. kuroda has pitched well this year and i think there is a decent chance jackson wont be in the lineup tomorrow
Extended by streak to 11 (bts career high) with a hit from Matsui today. Going with Michael Young tomorrow.
I wish I could get back to my career high. I've only gotten to 7 this year and a few years ago or so it was 12 and that was about it. Tonight isn't looking good as I picked Gardner and he's gone 0-4 so far with one more at bad coming.
Meant to say bat. My bad.
I'm basically BS'ing, trying out different strategies. A few guys I passed on got hits tonight but instead I wanted to see if taking a guy like Braun, even though he was 3-15 against a not-so-great pitcher like Slowey, would come through. 0-6 was pretty awful, though.
Back to a 0 game win streak and a 0 game hit streak.
Doing horrible as of late.
Heltons 1st inning double gets me to 17, just 9 away from my season high. Im gonna stick with my hometown pick tommorow, only the 2nd time ive done it, this is starting to get fun again. I am very fortunate after having a 26 gamer to be back to 17. it almost makes me more upset at jeter who was my only 0-x this season, without that BTS killer my streak would be at 43 games now, but cant think about what coulda been, one pick at a time as they say. sunday funday coming up gl
heres a question to ponder for the bloggers. As of right now who are your top 5 teams to pick against in BTS?
4 Houston
3 Texas
2 Baltimore
1 Pittsburgh
there arent any teams i focus on picking against but i can say that i do tend to pick against a few teams quite frequently:
I'm the same as Schenk, in that i focus more on the pitcher than on a specific team, however… My picks for this season.
1)PIT 11 times
2)BAL 4 times
2)WASH 4 times
4)OAK, DET, CLE, ATL, KC, LAA 3 Times each
10)MIN 2 times( incl Sunday pick)
Then 10 teams that I have picked against once.
9-11 correct vs PIT
2-4 vs BAL
4-4 vs WASH
1-3 vs OAK
2-3 vs DET
2-3 vs LAA
3-3 vs KC
3-3 vs CLE
3-3 vs ATL
Then all my single picks have all been good execpt vs TOR
9 0-fers for me this year.
after looking through my results im actually surprised with some of the teams ive picked against.
4-5 correct vs was
4-5 vs minn
4-4 vs hou
3-4 vs clev
3-3 vs mil/cincy/bos
2-3 vs bal
2-2 vs pitt/la angels
1-2 vs kc
1-1 vs sea/ari/col/tor
0-1 vs oak/sd/philly/chi whitesox
i was surprised ive picked against the twins 5 times already and the pirates just 2 times
@OneHeartbeatAway – I love the fact you're good at this game & you comment your every pick/talk your strategy. For as long as I've been playing this game I don't think there's ever been a guy who made it to the top & wrote on the blog. Most the time they're very secretive & superstitious.
thats a good plan but i will say you should stay away from him tomorrow. kuroda has pitched well this year and i think there is a decent chance jackson wont be in the lineup tomorrow
Thanks for the heads-up. I just read the preview for tomorrow's game and you may be right, he might not play. I was lucky to advance to 2. Jackson wasn't in the starting lineup today and only came in to PH and lucky for me he went 1-1. Gonna go and pick another player for tomorrow. Thanks again! Good luck with your pick.
BTW, my longest streak stands at 9.
rip – i love this blog but you are absoluely right. dragbunt pointed out what i noticed as well – everytime a leader is profiled on the blog, they crash and burn within a day or so. so i will defy fate and say i might go with morneau today. last minute switch yesterday paid off. ichie still did well, too (my previous pick.) good luck to all!!!
Not 100% on today's (Sunday) pick, but leaning towards Prado, Heyward or Crawford to get me to 12.
I can't believe it. Prado had an 0 fer against the Pirates of all times. The numbers looked good except for against the pitcher since he never faced him. I have Ichie today to try to start back up. My longest in 10 years is 13 and my longest this year is 7 but I'm hoping to once again change that.
Out of the lineup for Sunday
-Joe Mauer
-Brian McCann
-Austin Jackson
-Chipper Jones
-Lance Berkman
-Ivan Rodriguez
-Michael Bourn
Well I'm back to 0 again after Brett Gardner's 0fer last night. I'm going with Joey Votto today because of his success against Huff and the fact that he has a ton of hits so far this season and he's done well in the past 7 days. Good Luck everyone!!
Well the pressure if off me as my streak is at zero. I don't have to worry about doing an interview with our Grande Amigo for at least a month. lol
Tip of the Day – Don't let Freddy Garcia of ChiSox numbers fool you. He has done will lately and game is in Chgo. Move along to another game for your pick today.
Michael Young is hot and Carlos Silva of Cubs has done well but I think there is at least one hit in his bat today so I'm going with him.
HR BTS = Adam Dunn
Survivor = Reds and Homer Bailey v. The Tribe
Justin Morneau looks good today. Brewers starter today is a reliever who pitched yesterday. It could be quite a hit fest in Twin cities today.
@yanks22442. Where do you get your info from, regarding players out of the line up? One of the games you identified starts 3 hours after 1st game today and 3 hours prior is better than MLB GameDay's 1 hour prior notice.
also out,
Evan Longoria
Aramis Ramirez
@yanks22442: Thanx, will have to bookmark it
Jason Bartlett out too
Rotoworld gets a lot of the out of lineup news from the various beatwriter's twitters.
I also search "out of lineup" on google news for last 24 hours.
Jason Heyward out too
Laynce Nix, who had homered in each of the last three games, was left out of the Reds' starting lineup on Sunday.
@yanks22442: That info is good to know. I had Longoria as a pick today & changed it a few mins ago. I also had Tampa as Survivor pick but will change it too now that 2 starters are sitting — Twins are a good alternative.
im sticking with orlando cabrera for today. huff cant get guys out consistently so cabrrera should be able to get at least 1 hit off him. im also taking the reds to takedown the indians in survivor.
yanks. thanks for the tip about rotoworld. i will be looking at that site more often now before i make my pick
BTS leader is in jeopardy. The last 2 times I got reset, I shared same pick as leader & "took one for the team" — resetting myself and taking the leader down too. Today is the 2nd day in a row the leader & picked the same player. Odds are not looking good for pandrews59 😉
well its nice to know i didnt have to wait long to see if my streak would go to 4. orlando cabrera gets a leadoff single to start the game
here are the picks for 20+ games
1 pandrews59 28 Martin Prado
2 postbud32 23 Carl Crawford
2 rei105 23 Albert Pujols
4 kneetgma 22 Michael Young
5 imageta57hitstreak 21 Ryan Braun
5 jbossert 21 Martin Prado

9 biolabaseball9 20 Martin Prado
9 jamie_ackers 20 Ryan Braun
9 johnniemason1957 20 Vladimir Guerrero
9 sircobra88 20 Derek Jeter
Prado taken 3 times. Jeter 3 times. Braun 2. Crawford, Pujols, Young, HRamirez, Guerrero
HAS Anyone noticed, there are ONLY FOUR games on Monday. Now talk about an interesting day of picking
My pick for Monday is already done. As you said there's very little choice of picks. Hopefully I made the right one. So far today I'm not doing too well. Only 2 AB in though.
yea it will be interesting to see which players everyone takes. luckily there are some hittable pitchers going out on the mound
i think i will be taking orlando cabrera for the 2nd straight day tomorrow against the pirates
ut oh prado now 0-2 two double plays. bad news for for 17 gamer as well as the leader and friends. LETS GO MARTIN!
I picked Prado also. I expected him to bat first (which he was the past two days) no third and now he has the bad omen of 2 double plays back to zero again.
There are players I just don't pick and Martin Prado is one of them. He has burned me on numerous occasions. I also don't pick Manny Ramirez, Joe Mauer, Ryan Braun, or Hanley Ramirez. I'm sure there are others but they seem to be the ones that end my streaks so I'll pick them no more.
Prado for me too. But, fingers-crossed, my picks generally get hits on 3rd AB and never had one get only hit on last AB. Bad omen is that when I pick same as leader, I generally go down and take leader with me. So 3 outcomes possible: 1) take leader down with me 2) gets hit at next AB, 3) finally get hit on last AB. Odds not looking good at the moment.
Monday is going to be tough.
TB home v. RSox?
Morneau singles in the 1st – YEESSS
the only thing i will say is dont take a blue jay tomorrow. none of the blue jay hitters have ever seen much success against saunders and hes starting to get back into a groove
Wow. Prado looks like he will have only 2 more ABs left. Three double plays just canceled out 3 hits so unless ATL starts to bang out tons hits or walks.
Prado is the biggest tease on BTS. He is absolutely the worst. He teases you with his stats but he only comes through when you least expect him to. I thought I avoided his trap by not picking him yesterday but walked into the double Prado trap door.
RE: Prado. Extra innings still a possiblity, creating a 5th AB?
prado wasnt a good choice for today. yes hes been great against zack duke in his short career but with the lineup hes in today duke doesnt need to pitch to him. instead duke can just pitch around prado and go after the other braves hitters and thats what he has done which is why prado hasnt had anything great to hit
well isnt that nice prado 0-3 probably only one AB left, cross the fingers
Put him in a Prada shoes and make him go down a BTS runway. I am sure paandrews would love to see him strut his stuff with 6-12 Duke plastered on his shirt.
What really blows is Bobby boy. He rests on Chipper on the very day he owns the pitcher. Its not like ATL is already loaded with Seattle caliber hitters. I knew I was doomed when I saw Prada bag placed on the third shelf.
Prado 0-4 (tied ninth inning)and Pujols 0-2 (6th inning) hitless so far….that will take a few of the streakers down…Morneau gave me my hit on the first AB, giving me five in a row now…Tomorrow may be slim pickens but I'm sure there are a few diamonds in the rough. I've all but given up on the HR BTS…..seems like more luck than the other two by far…Anyone that gets more than two in a row should be bragging about it. Frosty
Prado replaced in X-tra innings, the leader, 130+ other BTS players and myself back to zero. Oh well.
Been out of the house all day, but checking mlb.com on my phone watching for Prado's ABs. Thought I picked Prado before I left, only to come home and realize that I picked Crawford again today. I was going back and forth between the two of them and thought I switched it from Crawford to Prado before leaving the house… Luckily, I did NOT. Just watched Prado go 0-5 in the 10th… Hopefully, he'll get another at bat and hit big for the 4.8% who picked him..
Braves just lost 3-2 to the Pirates. With Prado's 0 for 5 this is 3 O fors in my last 5 days. Back to 0 again another player hat dominated a pitcher and then goes hitless when I picked him. That is 11 O fors already! 11 hitless picks including to pinch hit outs. How does anyone get to 57? Getting to 15 seems hard enough!
I got to 10 to start the season and lost with an 0 for 4 by Matt Holiday and have not been back since. I lost a 9 game streak on that recent pinch hit strikeout by Manny Ramirez. Ramirez, Holliday and Prado are being faded from my list and Pujols will be if he goes hit-less the next time I pick him. If I don't reach 15 this season I should quit. That pinch hitting out has turned my luck downwards.
Tie game in STL. Hopefully, it stays that way and perhaps AP may get another AB in the bottom of the 9th.
Tie game in STL. Hopefully, it stays that way and perhaps AP may get another AB in the bottom of the 9th.
LOL. We should all just picked BTS workhorse. We all know who that is. All this "deep analysis" got us nowhere. I am just sticking with sashimi from now on. No more taco for me!
Tie game in STL. Hopefully, it stays that way and perhaps AP may get another AB in the bottom of the 9th.
I really don't know if anyone will ever win this game. I've been playing since 2003 and got to 34 games and lost my streak when Crawford went 0-1 then was pulled with an injury. Lost my 10 gamer today with Votto's 0-3. But have to start again tomorrow.
I'm going with Zobrist he hit well today and should get 4-5 AB's against Boston.
Tomorrow, I'm going with the player that last reset me before today: Rios. Feel like doing so may scare off the jinxies for a little while.
Oh, Sir Albert probably won't get another AB. LAA giving the game away: Walk, Hit By Pitch, Walk & just one out. Unless they squirm out of it — game over this inning.
Tie game in STL. Hopefully, it stays that way and perhaps AP may get another AB in the bottom of the 9th.
??? why did my comment post three times???? Only typed it once.
Actually it posted 4 times total. I was wondering why myself, but probably just the servers acting up.
Monday – Zobrist looks promising. He also led off on Sunday I usually see him batting 3rd.
Longoria did not play Sunday is he OK?
Longoria is fine, just got one of those rare days off.
Zobrist led off b/c Madden gave Bartlett as well as Longoria the day off. Nothing wrong with either of them. Bartlett even came in to pinch hit.
Braun moves me up to 7. GL to those with yanks and mets. Also GL to all tomorow, only 4 games to choose from.
With so little to pick from tomorrow I'm stuck deciding between Orlando Cabrera and Shin-Soo Choo. I could also go with Crawford, Longoria, or McCutchen. I suppose there are others, but I'm not too keen on some of them. Any thoughts?
Wondering if it would be "better" tomorrow to pick a player that never plays, but is on the roster. Ex: Angel Sanchez (BOS) who was called up when Scutaro (SS) was injured. The odds of him getting in the game against TB would be slim and it would "continue" our streaks another day if he does not get an AB. Risky, sure… but very few games tomorrow so the odds are stacked against us more than usual.
@deb23, I thought of that, but like you said it's risky. If he doesn't get an AB, then we're good. If he does and only gets one and no hit, back to 0 we go. I'm already at 0 now, so I'm not too worried about tomorrow.
well i had my 26 game streak riped apart by jeter and i bounced back only to see my 17 gamer go down in flames with Prado, I hate this game yeeeesh only 57 more to go now.
oneheartbeataway i kinda know how you feel. i havent had any streaks as high as your 26 and 17 but i lost both my 10 and 12 game streaks when the guy i took went 0-1 in 4 at bats. very frustrating to see a guy get walked 3 times in 1 game
Monday – Juan Pierre of ChiSox is my pick. Tribe's Masterson per the MLB "Schedule" site comment on him says he is having trouble getting lefties out. Lefties are hitting .360 v. Masterson. Pierre has been doing well lately and is a speed demon who is always a threat to get an infeld hit and has a nice batting average v. righties.
What happened to the MVP boys on Sunday?
Mauer 0-fer, Votto 0-fer and Pujols 0-fer all 3 were in the top 15 most chosen players. I am now encouraging all the leamings out there to keep picking these guys to make room on the leader board for the rest of us!
Totally illogical to take Votto in HR BTS on Monday so I'm going with him. TB in Survivor!
Monday picks: HR =Jonny Gomes …. CWS = Win…. and either Pierre, Rios or AJ for the hit. @ Drag: I think we read the same MLB post. AJ "had" a six game hitting streak including four double in those six games before today's game. He went 0-fer today though.
Well me and Drag are thinking alike on Votto in HR BTS. I'm at 1 in that and BTS as Ichiro came through. I have McCutchen on Monday in BTS but still thinking about it and I have the Reds in Survivor. Facing the Pirates so yeah.
deb – AJ may not play today for ChiSox as he got him in the elbow yesterday by a pitch. "Had a big ice bag on his elbow after the game."
I'm going to name my sleeper for today. It's David Ortiz. He has been red hot in May and he didn't play out of the 3 games in Philly but you know he will be playing tonight. He is a guy who will be a sleeper for tonight.

Hull manager Steve Bruce has agreed a deal "in principle" to sign Tottenham defender Michael Dawson but admits a move for Jordan Rhodes is proving problematic.
Speaking after his side's 1-1 draw with Stoke, Bruce confirmed his summer-long pursuit of 30-year-old Dawson was close to bearing fruit and hopes to push the transfer through quickly.
But having seen Blackburn reject two bids for striker Rhodes, there is plenty of work still to do if he is to replace Shane Long up front.
"It's up to me to bring two or three in, we're close to one in particular and we hope we can get that over the line," said Bruce.
"Michael Dawson we hope we can get. There's a deal in place in principle anyway. Hopefully, touchwood we'll see what develops.
"I thought I had Jordan Rhodes 24 hours ago and it seems to be further away than ever. We've been negotiating for a week.
"We'll see what this week brings and hopefully bring in the two or three we need to give the squad a hand because we've already played five competitive games."

National Anti Stigma Campaign Launched
National Anti Stigma Campaign Launched
December 4, 2006
The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and the Ad Council have launched the National Anti Stigma Campaign (NASC), releasing a national survey of public attitudes on stigma and unveiling free multimedia public service announcements (PSAs).
For the first time in history, the authority of the federal government is being put behind a sustained national PSA campaign to reduce stigma and encourage support of people with mental illnesses. It is also the first time that the tremendous leverage of the Ad Council?the folks who created Smokey the Bear?is being made available to the entire mental health community.
The PSAs are specifically targeted to 18-25 year olds. Starting today, resources will be available at www.whatadifference.org. An Ad Council fact sheet also is available now on the NAMI Web site.
In recent months, many NAMI state leaders participated in regional training meetings in DC, LA and Chicago around these PSAs. Special thanks goes to these NAMI state leaders and StigmaBusters who have been involved in preparations for the launch for three years, and to all In Our Own Voice presenters, who have been a model for a key part of the grassroots campaign.
The work is not yet complete, however. Grassroots action still is needed to ensure placement of these PSAs in the media. To find out what you can do, visit www.whatadifference.org and click on "Partner/Grassroots Organizations" at the top of the page.

Mass rescue as thousands flee Tasmanian fires
A HUGE sea rescue operation was launched for thousands of people sheltering on beaches, in boats and at the Port Arthur historic site, as the Tasman Peninsula fires destroyed homes and cut off the only road out.
On Friday evening, police asked two private catamaran operators to make the 90-minute rescue trip from Hobart to Nubeena, on the southern end of the peninsula, where fire was raging less than three kilometres from the jetty.
By lunchtime on Saturday, 1000 people had been ferried to safety, with crews expecting to work through the night and into Sunday morning to rescue at least another 1000 stranded at various parts of the peninsula. Up to 600 people had taken refuge at Port Arthur when the fire raged out of control on Friday afternoon, and waited for buses to take them to the evacuation point by the water.
A Hobart medical student, Kristof Wing, 18, was there with friends, including several Hungarian visitors.
''We drove past a fairly large plume of smoke coming in that morning, but we weren't aware of anything being particularly serious until about 2pm, when one of the staff informed us that the Arthur Highway had been closed,'' he said.
''It quickly became apparent that we were unlikely to get out by road that night. At about five or six in the evening, ash started falling from the sky.''
Mr Kristof praised Port Arthur staff, saying they kept the crowds calm and made an appeal for the frail, elderly or those with medical needs to come forward for the first boat evacuation, which was about 7pm.
With thick smoke blanketing the region, and hampered by a power outage from mid-afternoon, catamaran operators had to ferry people to safety.
''The first time we got there it was really smoky and it was very dark, so I had to rely on my expert skippers who had done their time on that jetty in the past,'' said Rob Peart, manager of Peppermint Bay Cruises.
''But people were very orderly when they came from along the jetty. The locals obviously had escape plans and each of them had their bags of luggage and their personal belongings that they wanted to keep and we just brought them on board. There were a few guests who had lost properties and it was pretty devastating. A lot of them were pretty quiet, it was late at night and they just had that look of 'get me out of here'.''
Mr Peart's crew, and another from the cruise company Navigators, worked through the night and into Saturday morning, making about eight return trips.
In daylight, Mr Peart said the scene was even more alarming. ''On approach this morning there was some pretty dramatic smoke. It's something that I've never witnessed before. The smoke is covering the whole horizon. There's ash all over the boats.''
Rebecca White, a Labor MP, whose Lyons electorate takes in the stricken region, said community refuges had been set up throughout the area, including at Sorell, Nubeena, Bicheno and Swansea. A local, Ms White was a witness to the Forcett fire, which partially destroyed the town of Dunalley, breaking containment lines on Friday. ''When it crossed the highway and it entered some new vegetation it just went crazy,'' she said.
''A huge, big black plume of smoke went up into the sky, and the winds picked up and you could just see it race across the hill, and it was obvious it was out of control. Every bushfire season there is a bushfire, but we haven't seen one this bad, probably since the '67 bushfires. It's been very devastating. Quite a few of my friends have lost their homes and a lot of livestock.
''Friends with horses who have just had to cut the fences and hope that they survive are still unsure whether that's the case.''
