"This is a wonderful dinner that my mom and I came up with while trying to cook a seafood supper for the men. This meal is very delish and warming of the tummy." — love2cook
Watch video tips and tricks
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half and trimmed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon chopped onion
1 teaspoon chopped fresh garlic
1 cup chicken broth
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2 ounces small, cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
It may have been that this recipe just didnt work for my family. But the combination of milk and lime juice , just didnt sit well w/ my taste...
YUCK...The sauce was so thick, I could have spackled the wall with it!!! 1/2 cup of flour was just way too much. Cardboard has better flavor. I tried to follow the recipe, but in the end couldnt save it. What a waste of ingredients!
6 Ratings
It was pretty easy to make since it used common ingredients. I had no tomato paste, so I used a half a 16-oz can of Italian-seasoned diced tomatoes, which added flavor to the sauce.
Everyone enjoyed this. The sauce was very thick,, but I added a lot more, a lot more, homemade stock. I also added some chopped coriander at the end. Next time, I will only use a tablespoon of flour.

US: Larry King signs off from CNN talk show
Larry King signed off from his eponymous talk show for the last time on Thursday, ending his twenty-five-year run as a CNN primetime host.
The 77-year-old was farewelled by a cavalcade of politicians, journalists, television personalities and other public figures on the final edition of Larry King Live, which has aired on the news network since June 1985.
In his final sign-off, King thanked his staff and executives at the network, and reiterated his stated intention to continue working with CNN on various special programmes from next year.
"You're not going to see me go away. But you're not going to see me here on this set anymore. For two weeks, they're going to be playing highlight shows.
"I don't know what to say except to you, my audience, thank you. And instead of good-bye, how about so long?"
Among those to pay tribute to King's career was President Barack Obama, who said that King was "one of the giants of broadcasting".
"You say that all you do is ask questions. But for generations of Americans, the answers to those questions have surprised us, they have informed us, and they have opened our eyes to the world beyond our living rooms," he said.
The anchors of the broadcast networks' news bulletins, Diane Sawyer (ABC World News), Brian Williams (NBC Nightly News) and Katie Couric (CBS Evening News) all appeared in the final broadcast, along with the veteran journalist and presenter Barbara Walters.
King's replacement, the former tabloid editor and television personality Piers Morgan, will take over the 9:00pm (ET) timeslot from next year with Piers Morgan Tonight.
A mixed legacy
Despite the tributes on his final edition, there was no shortage of criticism among media commentators. King often avoided pursuing interviewees with follow-up questions, and was criticised for offering soft questions to the many high-profile figures who appeared on his programme.
Ken Auletta, The New Yorker's media critic, told PBS's NewsHour that King's ability to secure celebrities and politicians arose from his guests' confidence that they would not be asked difficult questions.
"It was a comfortable place, a safe place for people to come and basically show their leg. They could say what they wanted: Larry King was not an aggressive interviewer. He got a lot of good information out of people, but essentially it was a safe environment," Auletta said.
"Contrast that with good interview shows... there's an element of surprise, an element of fear that people have: what am I going to get asked? And you never had that with Larry King."
By the end of its run, viewers appeared to have tired of King's style. At its height in 1998, Larry King Live was watched by an average of 1.636 million people each night. But this year was the programme's worst on record: viewers switched off in droves, sending the show's average audience plummeting below the 700,000 viewer mark.
King's fortunes have mirrored those of CNN itself: the once-influential network now finds itself mired in third place among the cable news networks, struggling to stay above water as it continues shake up its personnel on-screen and behind the scenes.

Check out MY LIFE IN MOTORCYCLE RACING
in our Latest issue of Racer X available now.Jean-Michel Bayle, the iconic superstar of yesteryear, raced motocross for the first time in twenty-one years at the Vets MXdN in England. Page 126.
The Conversation
I thought Stewart won one race earlier this year?????
Cant wait, I will be there with the family this weekend.. Have been there every year since '95.. Hope to see some good racing and a huge crowd as always.. I think my most memorable race at Indy was Laroccos win. there have been some good races there, but Laroccos was unreal. When he got the holeshot, the place exploded, and everyone stood for the entire 20 laps.. Amazing... He went and grabbed his wife and kids afterwards, it was very cool.. I expect over 50,000 again like every year. And it will be warm for once too, maybe some rain outside, but warm anyway..
Stewart won Oakland..
Yamaha's lites last win was 2011 - Ryan Sipes won. not 2001, (unless racerx made a typo).
I didn't realize that Stewart moved into a tie for 2nd on the all time wins list. Just 61 more wins to catch RC. LOL
Don't have time to look up the exact number, but RV has about 50 so far.
Stewart will pass Mc this weekened ....Here We Go !! and put Mc down to third all time wins in supercross .... Sad but true... Might not catch RC but who knows ....
@Preston, they are tied in AMA wins, not supercross. Mcgrath is still first on that list and isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Maybe if stewart races until hes 63 years old..........
and didn't short finish 4th last year on a KTM?
@Preston--WHAT???? Are you high?? Mcgrath has 72 supercross wins there dude..Do you even klnow what you are talking about?? If Stewie wins it will be 49..
@Preston--YOU actually had the nerve to try and correct me on another post and you write something so retarted you should be banned from Racer X... You say if Stewart wins MC gets bumped to 3rd ON THE ALL TIME SUPERCROSS WINS LIST!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
You arer an idiot----- MCGRATH ----72 wins, Not going to get caught by anyone.. Especially your dreamboy Stewart..
Most important stat----Supercross titles Mcgrath 7; Ricky Carmicheal 5 Bob Hannah 3, Jeff Stanton 3 Jeff Ward-Ricky Johnson-Chad Reed-James Stewart all tied with 2..
One thing RC and MC's records do have in common, stewart will never get close to either. How's that for a sad truth?
Stewart has a real good chance of being in 2nd on the all-time list, in front of McGrath, and a reasonable chance of getting 2nd on the SX list, in front of RC. Whether you like him or not, that puts him in pretty elite company.
Of course, he might as well stop after that, because 1st is a mile away in both categories.
Everyone notice how "Preston" shows he has NO SACK and doesnt respond when he gets called out on his idiotic statements.. He is a total Stewtard, and has no concept of what he is talking about.. MC has 72 wins and Preston has no clue..

As a proud member of the Florida Growers Association and a staunch supporter/member of Florida Farm Bureau, I will not vote for Allen West or any other member of the tea party and here is the reason(s) why.
Over farmers' objections, Republicans like Allen West are trying to have past some of the toughest immigration enforcement measures that Florida has ever seen with E-Verify, and the results have been disastrous to the Florida Grower.
A recently released study commissioned by the Florida Growers Association conducted by the University of Florida Center for Agribusiness and Economic Development found that, for growers of seven vegetable and fruit crops (bell peppers, tomatoes, watermelon, sweet onions, , squash and cucumbers), that the new policies resulted in direct losses of $140 million annually.
The study estimated that the total economic impact to the state was $391 million and the loss of 3,260 jobs.Despite the negative impact of Florida's law, many tea party activist such as West support the Law while many members of both the house and senate oppose such tough standards.
Furthermore, Florida Farm Bureau is not supporting many tea party members in the coming 2012 election and neither will I.
A vote for West is a vote for higher food prices in the check-out lane.
Bob, you have my vote, signed: R-Money
No problem. We'll just import more Mexican and Central American produce. They still use DDT down there.

Haug: Mercedes expected Audi DTM form
Haug: Mercedes expected Audi DTM form
August 01 2009
Mercedes motorsport boss Norbert Haug has admitted that he was expecting Audi to dominate qualifying at Oschersleben.
The 2009-spec Abt Sportsline cars locked out the top four places on Saturday, which meant they were the only team contesting the fourth segment of qualifying that decides pole position.
Bruno Spengler was the top Mercedes driver in sixth place, but Haug said afterwards that he did not expect much more from the session.
"We knew it was going to be very difficult here, and it is," he said. "I didn't expect us to be in Q4, and we are certainly not out for the win tomorrow.
"From P6 for us it will be very difficult - our colleagues must get it fundamentally wrong if they want us to win this race. From now on it shouldn't be that difficult [for Audi]."
While Mercedes was always going to struggle this weekend due to its 2009 cars weighing 20 kilograms more than the Audis, Haug didn't entirely blame the performance deficit on the success ballast.
"The weight is worth around three tenths of a second per lap here, maybe more on a hot lap," he added. "But even taking into consideration the weight we are not where we should be.
"I think in racing conditions we should be better, and we need to try to score some points. Audi are the favourites, but let's see what we can do."

Breast Revision! :D 260cc
on 20 Nov 2013
So is your revision with 260 or 360 cc's? How does that work with him moving your crease up? Will you be able to see where your original crease was? maybe you were small enough that you did not have one... They are looking great, I hope your very happy with them? -

Breast Revision! :D 260cc
on 15 Nov 2013
I can't wait to see your results, I had mine done sept 12 and just don't like them either, I went with 350 HP under muscle, I started with a bit more breast tissue than what you had but I feel out of proportion too, dramatic slope to wide etc. I keep thinking they will settle and look more natural but I really haven't seen much change in the last month. My husband wasn't so into me getting them to begin with and the recovery was a bit worse than I expected so I hate the idea of doing it over but I think about it every day. My doc encouraged me to go a little bigger than what I did and I had asked about going smaller, he seemed so against it and every other doc I went to had such similar recommendations I thought I would be good, but I should have followed my gut and gone smaller, maybe 300 would have been good for me or a different profile.... No fun feeling like you made a bad decision. -

I Think I'm Ready! - St. Petersburg, FL
on 8 Sep 2013
Hey there, just some thoughts after reading your last post, this is just based on my personal experience.... I had a hard time find a doc I felt comfortable with, part of the issue is that I am doing two procedures so I need to find someone who has perfected both. Living in las vegas there are tons of docs good at BA but not as many skilled in Rhino. I actually went to five consults in las Vegas, scheduled my procedures with a doc her that I was 100% confident in his BA skills, his rhino images looked good but he too did not do a lot of them (15-20 a year). I ended up canceling my procedures with him the day of pre-op... Rhino is a complex surgery and there are a lot of ways to to do the same thing, some will look good short term but shift or drop and not look good long term. So... my I had to continue my search, feeling I had exhausted my options in LV I started researching docs in So. Cal. I did alot of reasearch up front on the docs on line so I didn't waste time with consuts and trips to docs 5 hours away. I ended up going on three consults in So. Cal, so were not up to a total of 8 consults. I had a strong feeling based on reviews research and the before and afters I would end up picking the doc I have and, his images just look SOOOO good. Now I feel totally at peace with who I have selected to do my rhino, I also learned alot going through all the consults. So, my tips would be to reaserch the heck out of the docs, contact previous patients if possible (I was able to do so here on realself), pick a doc who has a lot of experience in rhino, especially look for similar noses to yours, I do believe different rhino docs are better at different things. There is a lot of emotion that goes into this desicion but I think when you find the right doc, you'll know and feel confident about the desicion... thats how I'm feel now anyway : ) fells free to ask me a few months from now when I'm on the otherside and healing. -

Collograph is an additive plate making process that has more in common with sculpture than intaglio. It has a creative freedom not found in any other printmaking media. If you are a mixed media artist looking for a new approach to your work, this is the process for you. It is free from acids and grounds, instead relying on acrylic medium, fabrics, and found objects to create rich surfaces on the plates. The plates are printed on an etching press with dampened paper, allowing for dramatic embossment. Instruction will review basic intaglio and relief inking techniques. If this sounds great but totally foreign, no problem - no prior printmaking experience is required. All skill levels welcome.
Yasuyo Tanaka became involved in bookbinding and papermaking in 2000. She has worked as a book conservation technician at the libraries of New York Botanical Gardens and Union Theological Seminary as well as for independent artists and bookbinders. She has taught workshops and given lectures at Poznon Academy of Fine Art in Poland, Vilnius Graphic Arts Center in Lithuania, Tochigi Prefectural Museum in Japan, and the Center for Book Arts in NYC.

There's a lot riding on "Toy Story 3."
After all, in 1995, the original "Toy Story," directed by John Lasseter and produced by the then postage-stamp-sized Northern California animation studio of Pixar (then best known for those Listerine commercials where the bottle swings through the jungle like Robin Hood), became the first completely computer generated animation feature. Ever. And while the technology was admittedly dazzling, it was the characters (Tim Allen's spaceman Buzz Lightyear and Tom Hanks' cowboy Woody, primarily) that really got audiences. These anthropomorphic playthings were our playthings. "Toy Story 2," originally slotted for a direct-to-video release by the powers that be at Disney, turned out to be an even more thematically complicated and emotionally rich experience; it was the "Godfather Part II" of animated films.
And now here's the film to close out the franchise (and believe you me, things are pretty damn closed by the time this thing's over), 11 years after the last film. There's a lot at stake beyond just saving us from the entertainment void that this summer movie season has been. A lot of us have grown up with these characters, they're as much our toys as they are the talented folks at Pixar.
Thankfully, "Toy Story 3," directed by longtime Pixar vet Lee Unkrich and written by "Little Miss Sunshine" Oscar winner Michael Arndt is a beautiful, nuanced, funny-as-hell end to the series. Your jaw will drop, your belly will ache, and your heartstrings will be thoroughly tugged.
Unlike most animated films, where the sequel picks up about fifteen seconds after the last film ended, "Toy Story 3" takes a more real time approach: the 11 years in between films have also happened in the "Toy Story" universe. Andy, proud owner of Woody, Buzz, Slinky Dog, and the rest of the gang, is about to leave for college. The toys, a fretfully neurotic bunch, are worried about what will become of them: are they just destined for the incinerator? Or will they be enjoyed by new owners? In a typically whirligig sequence, Andy puts most of the toys (save Woody) in a bag destined for the attic. Of course it ends up in the street, ready to get picked up by the garbage men. Woody tries to explain to the other toys that this was a mistake but they're convinced Andy wanted them gone, so instead they stowaway in a donation box destined for a local daycare center, Sunnyside.
Woody is hellbent on not staying in the daycare, but the other toys can't be swayed. Upon arrival they're swept up by the grandfatherly Lotso (Ned Beatty), a pink teddy bear who walks with a Lincoln log cane and smells like strawberry. Lotso promises them a fine life being played with, forever. In a touching sequence, he explains that once the kids who love you grow up, they're replaced by other kids. Lotso also introduces our beloved characters to a new batch of toys, among them a flowery Ken (Michael Keaton) and Stretch (Whoopi Goldberg), a gummy octopus with suction cups. Everyone is taken in by Lotso and his new gang of misfit toys, but not Woody, he hightails it the first chance he can and ends up being taken home by one of the daycare kids, an adorable little girl named Bonnie.
Bonnie has a room full of great toys, too, including Trixie (Kristen Schaal from "Flight of the Conchords"), a tech-savvy dinosaur, and Mr. Pricklepants (Timothy Dalton), a thespian hedgehog. Woody starts scheming, plotting an escape plan for his buddies. Meanwhile, at the daycare, Andy's toys are looking to escape but are kept prisoner by some very bad toys.
For much of the "Toy Story 3" running time it's a breathlessly paced heist/escape movie, hinged around the toys' escape from the daycare center. The jokes and gags fly, and you may wonder why the movie doesn't stop to slow down and let us appreciate the characters and situations a little bit more. This section of the movie is also the most problematic from a story standpoint, as the motives for the villain are explained in a vividly atmospheric flashback sequence but still don't quite gel. Why are the toys imprisoned, exactly? Right. Moving on. Funny joke about Ken. Got it.
After the more oddball experimentalism of the past two Pixar movies ("WALL*E" and "Up"), you can tell that the studio was really getting behind the more formal comedic style of the previous two "Toy Story" movies. And you can tell that they took this up with a lot of verve and wit; the movie is outrageously funny and the jokes more sophisticated.
Also more sophisticated: the visuals. The first "Toy Story" was a wonder, for sure, but rewatching it earlier this week highlighted how rudimentary the animation really was. Most of the characters in the first film have limited expression and movement, more like an animatronic figure at a Disney theme park than a legitimate character. These characters move with a fluidity and heft that is just astounding (Lotso, in particular, is hypnotic). The animators also push things stylistically, usually in the service of the characters' emotions. One sequence at the daycare center that's set on a stormy night is just jaw-dropping.
It should also be noted that Pixar seems to be addressing the issues that Pixar movies are somehow anti-women, with Barbie (Jodi Benson) given a pronounced and very strong role. It never feels like pandering, though. She really kicks ass.
But as the movie segues from the core heist to a more emotionally drawn closing section, the true richness of both this particular "Toy Story" and the series as a whole will star to reveal itself. It's also about this time that you will notice, like we did, the audience crying. It wasn't just the hushed sniffles of self-aware moviegoers. These were big, wet sobs.
The first "Toy Story" was about maturing into adulthood, the second entry was about growing old, and the third, you start to realize as the movie nears its conclusion, is about death. It's about letting go and moving on (there's some very literal hell imagery towards the end, too). And the tears that will undoubtedly stream out of your eyes as the movie ends is as much about what's going on in the movie as it is about facing your life without these characters in them. Lucky for us, the series goes out on a relentlessly entertaining, brilliantly told bang. [A]

Sure, we all know construction has been in the dumps for several years now, and 2011 has not progressed as we all hoped as far as a new construction recovery, but all is not doom and gloom as so many pundits would like us to believe. There are several flickers of life in our industry that seem to be getting brighter by the day, and maybe they will allow us to see a tomorrow that we can get excited about.
First of all, the demographics of the US are incredibly good for our industry. We add about 4.5 million new people each year on average, to the US population, and there are about 3 people per household, so the drumbeat of 1.5 million new households a year is pretty constant. Sure, it goes up and down as immigration issues and the economy goes, but still, despite the difficulties, people still want to live and work in America. Those 1.5 million "families" need a place to live. Right now there is a mini boom going on in getting affordable housing built to supply the demand. They may not be buying McMansion's , but they need a place to live, and a 1200 square foot apartment will do for now.
Second, we have as many feet of buildings that need sprucing up and renovation, as we have deficit dollars in Washington, DC. That's a lot of trillions of feet! Many owners are doing their best to improve the appearance and function of their existing buildings, since they can't finance new construction. Remodeling is hot right now! Sto has some incredible Specialty Coatings, such as Lotusan, that have taken the recoatings market by storm the past few years.
Third, building codes are changing, and it all points to more energy efficient new construction via air and moisture barriers being required by code, and continuous insulation on the outside of the structure. All this bodes well for companies such as Sto, as we have been the leaders in energy efficient construction for the past 50 years all around the world. We are truly excited about the future, as we know the construction market will emerge from it's funk, and we could not be better positioned for the next era of energy efficient design and building management.
So, why all the gloom? The companies that have survived the past 4-5 years in construction and construction supply, have all learned some great lessons, and are now leaner and better positioned than ever before. They are ready to make this next cycle a more balanced and sustainable one, if the folks in our nations capital will just get their business done and get out of the way.
At Sto, we can't wait for the glimmer of hope we see today, become a bright shining beacon of growth and prosperity for our industry.

Regina Spektor biographyRegina Spektor LyricsSource: http://www.reginaspektoronline.com/about.html A mere five years ago, Regina Spektor was hypnotizing small crowds at hole-in-the-wall venues on New York 's Lower East Side . After playing hundreds of shows in and around NYC, Spektor became the talk of the burgeoning music scene. Though she was selling many copies of CDs she had recorded and produced with friends ( 11:11 and Songs), it was her next album, Soviet Kitsch, that would become her calling card. Originally released as a CDR and handed out at shows, Spektor signed with Sire Records who re-released Soviet Kitsch in 2003. While touring nationally and abroad in support of Soviet Kitsch, Spektor began as an opening act but by year's end was the main attraction. Going from 200-capacity venues to selling out 1,300 capacity-venues like New York 's Irving Plaza and London 's Shephard Bush Empire, this Russian-born chanteuse's songs have gone from being burned in her bedroom to receiving a worldwide fanfare. Though in love with playing shows to her rapidly growing audience, Spektor had written hundreds of songs since Soviet Kitsch and was eager to get back into the studio. Abandoning her usual method of production and opting for a new experience, Spektor holed herself up at New York Noise Studios in NYC's Meatpacking District with seasoned producer David Kahne (Paul McCartney). Spending two months during the summer of 2005 working on her fourth release (this new album is also considered her major label debut), Spektor had the opportunity to experiment "until a little Frankenstein was born." Taking two months to record was a huge amount of time by Spektor's standards, since she had recorded her Songs record in 1 day and Soviet Kitsch in 10. To work like this had been a dream of mine, but I thought it would be years before it happened. I definitely tried to put every aspect of myself into it. We played with wires and sounds, set the lab on fire a bunch of times, laughed and started again. "Before I even started I knew I was going to experiment with things I've only thought about, like beats and drums," explains Spektor, a multi-instrumentalist. "I really wanted to play with electronic instruments and bigger arrangements. Still, on this record, there are some songs where it's really sparse. You don't want to arrange just for the sake of arranging. I had to be careful so the music wouldn't be more fun to make than to listen to." Judging from the final product, we'd say mission accomplished. On Begin To Hope Spektor took the lyrical vignettes and sparse instrumentation she crafted for Soviet Kitsch and pushed herself more in every directionboth lyrically and musically. From the staccato strings plucking the opening chords to the album's first song, Fidelity, to the blues-infused homage to Billie Holiday Lady, Spektor isn't able to pinpoint the exact inspiration behind her musical musings. You don't ever know the true lineage of your songs, reveals Spektor. Maybe I'm becoming less of a narrator and more of a character these days. I was always used to observing and writing third-person narrative stories about things I was seeing. Then, as time went on, I started placing myself in these scenes, more like an actor. "I don't fully understand the fascination of people wanting to know the 'real' you after listening to your songs" says Spektor, who is still extremely careful when it comes to sharing her personal life with the public. I understand the fascination of people to want to know you, admits Spektor but People always want to know which part of the song really happened, they want to know some sort of a "Truth." For some reason they can see the same actor acting in 17 different movies, using 17 different hair colors, using fake props, changing their voice, changing their accent, being evil or being the victim, and they are okay with that. They understand that it's just a movie, they understand that it's an art. But with music they forget. Music, somehow, is life." Always willing to damn convention for the sake of creativity, Spektor is one of those rare talents who manage to outrun the trends and force the rest of the world to keep up. The more I experience in this world, the more questions I seem to have about where this life is leading, reveals Spektor . Begin To Hope might still mark the beginning of her career, but Regina Spektor has been carving out her place in music history since she sang her first note |

Polk County Prairie Burn
(Program Close)
Broadcast 06/09/06
While fire is often considered destructive, it is in fact an important tool in restoring and maintaining a healthy prairie.
In the spring of 2004, the Polk County Conservation Board set fire to a prairie near Big Creek State Park. Like the Phoenix of ancient lore that rises reborn from the ashes of an all- consuming fire, the prairie is reborn.

this is a follow-up request for a deal posted a good while back. someone recommended bootbox.net as an excellent web-hosting solution. they claim to offer free web-hosting if you register your domain name for 2 years through register.com. i applied for a domain name, received confirmation from register.com, but have yet to hear anything from bootbox. i submitted forms for the free web hosting on three separate occaisons to bootbox, along with an email; i have even tried calling them, but the operator was not available and the pre-recorded menu options did not lead me to anything relevant to the webhosting. is anyone currently using bootbox, and if so, how long did it take for them to get a response to you? bootbox claims on their site that they are backed up and that it may take 2 - 3 weeks to get confirmation, but it has been almost a month now i believe. i searched the BBB database and found nothing listed for bootbox, so i turned to the source of the information - the gotapex deals forum. can anyone help me out? if this is a bust, are there any other free web-hosting companies that offer similar or better services?? thanks.

Astros outfielder Reggie Abercrombie will miss at least two weeks of camp after X-rays taken Saturday revealed a small fracture in the big toe on his left foot. He fouled a ball off the toe Friday.
The Astros also lost outfielder Jason Michaels, who strained a hamstring, and shortstop Edwin Maysonet, who sprained his right ankle, to injuries Saturday. Both are day to day.
"It's starting to mount, and some guys are going to have to start going nine innings and getting less days off," manager Cecil Cooper said.
Abercrombie will wear a protective boot on his foot for one week and will be limited in his baseball activities. He had been one of the bright spots in camp, hitting .563 with three doubles and a triple.
"I could come back earlier than that, but they said seven to 10 (days) so we'll have to go with it," Abercrombie said. "When I first did it, it was hurting, but as I started walking it was getting a lot better."
Michaels suffered a mild hamstring strain in his first-inning at-bat while running to first. He immediately left the game.
"I wasn't going full speed and I knew something didn't feel right," he said. "Before it escalates, we talked to the doctors and trainers and decided to come out."
And Maysonet sprained his ankle making a sparkling double play up the middle in the fourth.
"It's not that bad," Maysonet said. "It's sore and it hurts when I throw and hit."
In other injury news, outfielder Yordany Ramirez (hamstring) will return to action Sunday. Wandy Rodriguez (intercostal) will throw a 40-pitch bullpen session Sunday, and Chris Sampson (elbow surgery) threw a 50-pitch bullpen session Saturday.
"It was encouraging and exciting," Sampson said.
With five starts still remaining on his spring training schedule, Mike Hampton feels he's right where he needs to be to be ready for the start of the season.
Hampton pitched three innings in Saturday's 5-1 loss to St. Louis and allowed three hits and two runs.
"I feel like I'm getting pretty loose," he said. "I thought I caught too much of the plate on a few in that (third) inning. As a whole, my body felt good, and I feel like I'm getting better each time out."
Hampton retired the first six batters he faced before allowing a single, double and two-run triple. He promptly retired the next three, getting Albert Pujols to end the inning.
"They've got a good lineup," Hampton said. "It's definitely a challenge. Any time you get two runs in and a guy on third and no outs, you need to bear down and make some pitches.
"Fortunately, the next three guys hit the ball at somebody and I got out of that without any more damage. My four-seam (fastball) feels really good right now, my sinker's coming along and feeling better and the breaking stuff is starting to get better. I feel comfortable where I'm at."

Please click on www.GreenWing.aero to see Electric Aircraft powered by Yuneec International.
GreenWing International and Yuneec have spent many years optimizing the combination of electric propulsion systems with their specific airframes. The airframe's glide ratio and efficiency, the center of gravity, and the positioning of the battery are all important when designing an aircraft for electric power. For this reason, Yuneec power systems are only currently available for the eSpyder and e430. GWI and Yuneec may consider electric power systems for the self launched motorglider market in the future, after the e430 and eSpyder are already in the market. We understand and appreciate the interest in the Yuneec power systems for other aircraft applications, but at this point they are not available outside the eSpyder and e430 aircraft programs. Our current plans are to offer the ePac for sale in Q2, 2014 (April-June, 2014). Our focus right now is the eSpyder and e430. To be kept informed about ePac, Power Systems and new products from Yuneec then simply subscribe to our Newsletter HERE

All is fair in the fairness game…
Girls nowadays don't dream of their charming prince riding on a white horse in search of a beautiful wife – they dream of Rakesh Roshan getting off his white car to offer them a role in his next movie – either ways they are swept off their feet!
Times are achanging!
And the fairness creams market keeps track of every single change that is happening in society – every need and every dream of their core target audience – young girls with dark skin – who dream of a "better life" – a life which only fairer skin can lead them to – which in turn only fairness creams can help them achieve!
Now to look at some of these changes in the fairness creams market:
o Skin care and not just fairness : With more exposure to sophisticated products and foreign brands (through communication, if not actual product experience), the target audience (the young girls mentioned before) is demanding more than basic fairness – fairness creams no longer call themselves just that – they are now positioned as 'skin care' products – exactly how much care does the skin get through cheap and harmful bleach is anyone's guess! in any case, with names like Fair and Lovely, Fairglow, Naturally Fair and Fairever, there can be no doubt in anyone's minds what exactly these products promise – let no one be fooled!
o Going the 'natural' route : chemical is out, natural is in – look at the number of products around that promise 'natural ingredients' – if one promises vitamin M, the other conveys that the product is bursting at the seams with saffron or milk or honey or whatever it takes to bleach the skin in six quick weeks – leading to a fairer and married-to-the-man-of-your-dreams you…
o Specialty products : there are now variants to suit every skin type and every need – fairness creams are now available for oily skin, for winter use, for removing marks – you name it… there is even a fairness creams for elbows yes, you read it right – elbows!
o Dream career and dream man : And most importantly, recent ads for fairness creams are not centred just around the dream-man-marriage theme (although that remains the ultimate objective) – but have a "career orientation" – you can now be an air hostess or a popular cricket commentator – depending on the flavour of the month – or you can even be a film star!
Sure, times are achanging!. But some things never change – like the desire for a son… again advertising (especially in this category) has exploited this weakness quite cleverly – it is possible to almost look into the mind of the father who has been 'cursed' not just with a daughter, but a dark-skinned daughter – who cannot reach that well-paying dream job or cannot even be married off easily – just the words in the ad kaash mera beta hota encapsulates every emotion that this market thrives on or is it 'preys' on?
As long as the search for the fair bride remains, fairness creams will continue to rule the roost and they will continue to exploit every single weakness in their consumers and in ways that the consumer herself does not know she is being exploited. If society has even an inkling of such a notion, such ads reinforce these notions – do not forget, dark skin is ugly and will stand in the way of all your dreams…
Following protests from all quarters, marketers have now tried various things to repair their damaged image – some of the ads now try to soften the blow – he is lucky to have you, says one ad – sure, the 'boy' is lucky but remember this bit of luck happens after a magical transformation has taken place on the girl's face – thanks to the latest fairness cream – to an already vulnerable young woman, such a strong reinforcement spells zero self esteem – so much for lucky boys!
Another laughable effort is the Fair and Lovely Foundation – which aims to "promote economic empowerment of women" – all other things remaining constant, a fairer skin leads to economic empowerment?
There is nothing that cannot be changed goes the line for a popular fairness cream brand – nothing, it looks like, except the colonial hang-up on fair skin.
Debashish had added some interesting facts in his Hindi translation – including the information that in the skincare products market, more than 60% products are aimed at fairness. And that companies claim that nearly 25% of fairness cream users are men. I had written about this in my earlier post on elbow creams; if this statistic intrigues you, check it out…

Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about the hard drive. You just have to determine how much space you want to allot to each OS. Think about a lot, because you can't adjust after it's done. You'll have to do a complete reinstall.
How much memory do you have? Are you installing XP or Vista? If it's XP, whatever you have should be fine. If it's Vista, you need at least 1 gig, but I would recommend 2. I don't know about Macbooks, but on my MBP installation of more memory was very easy. Apple offers instructions on their site under support. |

As for the hard drive: if you do a minimal installation of Windows you should be okay with the 120 GB hard drive found on the black MacBook (which is what you say you have). You may find yourself upgrading the hard drive at a later stage, but fortunately it's very easy to do. What fleurya is referring to is the fact that you should determine up front how much space you want to allocate to Windows. Best of luck! Cheap Date Show: Real people. Real food. Real date. |

You'll need an external USB mouse, as windows can't recognise the internal touch pad until it has the drivers installed for it. Pretty silly I know.
I think the keyboard does work basically however without any drivers, so you could try just clicking yes / next etc. with tab and enter keys. Once drivers are installed you should be fine. It is all automated (in XP SP2 anyway). |

SPARTANBURG I write at least once every training camp about a small, fast Carolina Panther. Or maybe its once every week.
Today, its rookie running back Kenjon Barner.
A sixth-round pick, Barner is 5-foot-9 and 190 pounds. When he was growing up outside Los Angeles he raced the older kids because kids his age couldnt keep up. He ran a 4.34 40 at Oregons Pro Day.
Every time I see Barner, hes smiling and wearing good-looking NIKE shoes.
NIKEs headquarters are less than two hours from the Oregon campus, and NIKE has a fantastic store there. Ever go?
That would be an impermissible benefit, says Barner.
Oregon went on NCAA probation in June.
So Barners mind is quick, too.
Some of Barners college highlights are breathtaking, all quick moves, instant acceleration and changes of direction and speed. Is he as good as his highlights?
Well, I mean, you know, um, he says.
Barner laughs.
God has blessed me with some talent, he says. I was very fortunate to do what I did in college and Im looking forward to try to do the same here.
As a senior in an innovative Oregon offense that makes everybody look good, Barner looked great. He rushed for 1,767 yards and 21 touchdowns and averaged 6.4 yards per carry. He returned kicks and punts. He lined up with Carolinas punt return team at practice Saturday.
I ask Barner what has most surprised him about the NFL. Rookies, even fast ones, usually say the speed of the game.
In college I heard how in the NFL everybody is selfish, he says. But when I get here everybody is extremely welcoming. Its a good feeling to know that youre around a group of guys that are as welcoming as these guys are.
Barner says the running backs have all helped him, especially Jonathan Stewart, also a former Oregon star. But the player who has worked with him the most is running back Tauren Poole.
Poole, a former Tennessee star, played well in the 2012 preseason as an undrafted rookie. Then he hurt his ribs and spent the season on injured reserve.
So the drafted running back comes in, the free agent running back who missed his rookie season works with him, and they compete for the same job.
Would most of us, regardless of occupation, help somebody who craved the same position we did?
With me, theres no envy or jealousy, Poole says after practice Saturday while teammates fill the ice tubs behind him. Hes looking for a job and Im looking for a job as well, and were trying to put great film out there. Competition is great, man, with all the great backs we have. Theres no animosity. I havent done much (as a Panther). But if I can help, I got you.
Even with help, the backfield is jammed. DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart and Mike Tolbert are entrenched.
What does Barner offer?
He made a cut (Friday) that was pretty impressive, says Panther coach Ron Rivera. Right now we havent put the things in that we feel will be really conducive to him.
But what we have seen is his ability to catch the ball, his ability to put stress on linebackers when theyre in coverage and I do like his quickness. The biggest questions will be his protections, his ability to step up and block.
As a child the biggest question was bigger would Barners parents even allow him to play football? He was small and they thought hed get hurt.
So he played basketball for the local AAU team and football with his friends in the yard. Then Pop Warner practice would start. His friends would leave to play real football and Barner would stay home.
The mother of a friend who was on the team lobbied more effectively than Barner was able to. Hell be fine, she insisted.
Barners parents relented, and when he was in sixth or seventh grade, he made his gridiron debut.
I remember the first day of practice I went out in tennis shoes, Barner says. I didnt play football so I had no cleats.
I ran some routes with the guys and the coach said, Youre going to take my starting receivers job and youre out there in tennis shoes.
Like I said, Barner is always smiling.
I like to smile, man, he says. I mean, life is full of reasons to smile.
The opportunity to play in the NFL is one. The opportunity to have Poole and other welcoming teammates is another. The opportunity to be the fastest player on any field he steps on is a third.
Will he be?
I think I will, says Barner. And even if I wasnt Id say that I was.

DEADLY FORCE: Despite resolution of a long and bloody strike, labor advocates said police killed two more people. One died of injuries from a rubber bullet and a miner was run over by an armored car.
MORE TROOPS: The South African president ordered military forces to assist police trying to control labor unrest in the nation's crucial mining sector. Last weekend some 1,000 soldiers were trucked into the "platinum belt" northwest of Johannesburg.
ANGLO ULTIMATUM: Thursday morning, police confronted striking Anglo American Platinum miners at a shantytown where residents set up barricades of rocks and burning tires and logs.
