"...First was Twin Cities singer-pianist Davina Sowers, who sounds like the daughter of Leon Redbone and Betty Boop trained on piano by Randy Newman. Backed by an upright bassist and trombonist, Sowers delighted with some sassy originals and sly covers of Billie Holiday, Fats Domino and "Has Anybody Seen My Gal." Her slurring, Southern voice (she moved here from ...Key West, Fla., in 2005) sounded affected and alluring at the same time."
-JON BREAM, Star Tribune June 9, 2009 (Opening for Pinetop Perkins)
"At first glance, the very idea of a blues band without a guitar player strikes the mind as a daring if not totally outrageous concept. But, Davina & the Vagabonds, a Minneapolis-based quintet driven by New Orleans horns and the campy purr of vocalist/pianist Davina Sowers, carry it off with such aplomb that you won't miss the usual six-string histrionics one bit.Listening to Davina & the Vagabonds is like stepping into a wondrous musical time machine. They have the panache and superlative musicianship to recreate the retro sound and ageless appeal of golden age Americana in high-definition reality on stage for your immense pleasure and enjoyment."
-Ken Wright, Thunderbay Blues Festival
"Hardest -working Blues woman in Minnesota, but......two things remain consistent at all her shows, though: her throaty but cushiony voice, which has a sort of hard-mattress comfort to it that's part Bonnie Raitt, Etta James and a little Amy Winehouse, and her band's rollicking New Orleans flavor, driven home by dueling horn players and a bayou-thick standup bass"
-CHRIS RIEMENSCHNEIDER, Star Tribune
"At first listen to Davina and the Vagabonds, you imagine the tones escaping from a 300-pound blues musician. It seems unlikely that much power is coming from the slight frame of one Ms. Davina. It sounds like an unnatural force, pulled from some secret spot in the belly no other singer has yet discovered. It's a low bellow, most closely aligned with Amy Winehouse's walloping alto. But Davina takes "retro" back further than Winehouse and her Phil Spector reminiscing. She beckons an age when bad girls wore red lipstick and pin curls. Her music may be adorned with exceptional groaning trumpets, rat-a-tatting drum rolls, and staccato piano lines, but nothing deserves the complementing position to her voice. She's in a league of her own."
-Erin Roof - City Pages 2009
"Davina and The Vagabonds are based out of the Twin Cities and play hot jazz-blues-cabaret-soul-lounge-rock that warms the soul an just plain makes ya wanna dance."
-John Hammer,Blue Monday
"When I listen to her sing all I can say is "Fun, fun, fun".
-Diana Skope – Skope Entertainment
"..this girl is something special and her band is top notch..she just simply sits down at the piano and totally takes over the room."
Fizz Kizer -The Honkytonk Cafe
Davina has already shared the stage with Little Feat, Buddy Guy, Bobby Blue Bland, Elvin Bishop, The Lamont Cranston Band, The Blues Brothers,Joe Bonamassa, Nellie McKay, Irma Thomas and James Hunter ,among others, at venues such as House of Blues in Altantic City, NJ and the Bayfront Blues Festival in Duluth, MN.

For the mayor Scranton Pennsylvania is getting some national attention today after taking a hard line on his city's budget crisis.
Democrat Chris Doherty.
Slashing the salaries of hundreds of city employees to minimum wage including his own salary.
-- City Council rejected his point twelve budget proposal which included 29%.
Tax hike.
-- financial crisis is very serious right now therefore we need to take these very drastic decisions all employees including the mayor.
We paid minimal wage until we get through this financial crisis.
City union officials are now suing over the pay cut insisting that mayor Doherty has to comply with a judge's order to restore normal wages not minimum wage.
-- dear Donna as a radio host for 1210 WPH t and -- -- -- is a reporter for the Pittsburgh Tribune review.
Panel welcome so much so that the -- says look.
We've got 5000 dollars left in the coffers five grant how much gonna pay hundreds of city workers they're normal rates.
I can't do it I don't care what the judge says my only option is to pay minimum wage Selena does he have a point.
Well he does have a point but there's also a little bit political grandstand going on here.
Doherty is in a fight with City Council and they have always had a toxic relationship.
He's also always had a toxic relationship with the unions in that city.
He wants a tax hike.
This City Council doesn't want it though with presidency council Janet Evans also wants to -- mayor which is position.
That don't already he has.
-- -- internal politics they -- they ended yeah absolutely but the reason this is interesting Don is that that -- there are many cities across this country that are now facing similar fiscal collapse.
And different ones are dealing with -- in different ways -- -- saying.
We're gonna cut the pensions sorry but we're gonna do it that that's the only way out.
This apparently not only -- -- -- -- hike I guess income taxes 29% -- what was it like local city tax that I mean.
Yeah absolutely -- and I think he's out of control I think this is like the mayor of Harrisburg who's done -- more wild things.
I don't think this guy has to do this if there's some long term thing like pensions.
That's one thing this guy just wants to flail away and get that 29% tax increase -- so -- What did you to increase that that the city taxes by 29% AM he wanted to raise property taxes by 78%.
And oh yeah like that.
Eighty I this is adding -- is a little so you.
Not -- any stripe you -- stride all the gun to the heads of these guys they can't work for minimum wage.
The public employee unions are being held hostage here which is kind of -- turn about and fair play.
But I say it's the mayor and he's a guy that has statewide aspirations -- and apparently how they get out of this Selena I mean he heap -- he can't get the tax -- he wants so he's trying to cut the salaries down -- minimum wage but these are people who have bills to -- they have -- is they have kids in school they can't minimum -- -- -- from 15100 dollars every two weeks to 600 dollars every two weeks.
Right absolutely I mean I think he expects something to happen pretty immediately he has six children of his -- of selling -- can live on minimally -- there.
I mean dirty does have political aspirations he's already run for in a primary for governor in -- -- ten heat brand for state senate.
In 2011 so he's always.
Bin -- Scranton for the past ten years but always wanted to be any thing but.
Mayor of screen how how will help any politician politically at this try to get.
I mean Republican or demo.
Cracked how do you run on.
I thought to raise property taxes 78%.
And when -- -- -- the bad that it.
City union workers firefighters and policeman down to minimum wage but without their consent and even after a federal judge told that I couldn't do it.
On what party ticket does that help Selena.
Well -- doesn't.
-- -- he's never been a great politician he's always been a decent manager out for the past ten years Britain has had a Renaissance in the city.
Unfortunately because it taxes are so high in the city of Scranton all this sort of development that he's -- in the old buildings in and new buildings.
And there's no tax base to support it so people are moving in there let's -- -- I do -- I mean we've seen these other cities say look we've got to cut the pensions were sorry -- were promised a Rose Garden but we can't you can't deliver.
And so yeah -- -- that is that his only optional what is his option.
That that's his option -- -- bag in exactly the long term type of things that type of things we talk about on the national level the entitlements that pensions.
Pennsylvania's going through this right now the state level but not a grand stand to tell cops and firefighters work for minimum wage.
Yeah -- imagine.
29% increase in your city taxes and then at 78 present increasing your property taxes but -- -- there -- other cities besides Scranton in which the lab.
Stop Selena thank you.
Thanks thanks very much mega season according.

Section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is called "Limitations on liability relating to material online." It specifically outlines what an online service provider (OSP) can be held responsible for and the times when they are exempt for responsibility. 512 provides copyright holders the right to ask OSPs to remove material that appears on their sites or in their programs if it is an infringement of copyright. However, a service provider is not liable for "monetary relief" or for "injunction or other equitable relief" if "the service provider does not have actual knowledge that the material or an activity using the material on the system or network is infringing" and upon obtaining such knowledge "responds expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity."
In other words, a service provider is, in many cases, not liable for the content posted by its users, but must act swiftly to remove the infringing material from its site or service once it is notified of the infringement. Basically, if the OSPs comply promptly and effectively with copyright holders' take down requests then they are protected by a "safe harbor" provision. According to reference.com the definition of a "safe harbor" is "a provision of a statute or a regulation that reduces or eliminates a party's liability under the law, on the condition that the party performed its actions in good faith."
Therefore, this section of the DMCA is particularly important in determining secondary liability. A safe harbor can only be created if the site or service follows proper protocol and has been cleared of primary liability in the first place. Napster was held liable for the content being uploaded by its users because it provided a centralized server through which all information had to be passed, and thus was not granted a safe harbor.
YouTube is currently being protected by 512 because of its compliance with any and all take down notices it receives. YouTube's safe-harbor status is also helped by the fact that it has partnered itself with big, copyright-holding companies. Of course, if YouTube wasn't also complying with the takedown notices being issued by copyright holders in the first place, these partnerships wouldn't matter - or at least we'd like to think it wouldn't... The business possibilities for YouTube may almost be enough to outweigh the law, if they get the right business partners on their side.
512 is an important provision because it allows sites and services with substantial non-infringing uses to function with the possible existence of infringing material in exchange for removing that infringing material as quickly as possible. A no-tolerance infringement policy seems to be outside the scope of available online practices, therefore 512 allows services to exist with the understanding that there is inherent infringement on the internet.

Sep 18, 2013Riveting drama by Ben Affleck, falling only a hair short from perfection. The execution is done with a touch of sense and reality, and the style of filming and the way it jumps from scene to scene keeps your eyes glued to the screen.

Dec 8, 2012So excellent! I would have loved to see this film grab the 10th Best Picture nominee slot last year...one of the best films of 2010. Ben Affleck has really turned into a great director.
May 10, 2012
Feb 3, 2012Greatest thriller of all time. I thought this movie was going to be soo bad. But once i watched this movie with Deadlybrooke i thought this was the greatest movie of all time. I watch it from time to time and it gets better every time i watch it
Dec 27, 2011Ben Affleck has made another exceptional crime movie, following up Gone Baby Gone with this gem that takes place in the town he loves so much -- Boston. Affleck directs and stars in this story about Charlestown, a Boston neighborhood where bank robbin' runs in the family. Jeremy Renner is phenomenal. Affleck himself is very very good. I didn't expect to love this movie but I loved it.

Mar 9, 2011It`s not just a sequel. It`s more like a rebirth in fast-paced style.
Great storytelling makes you feel like you are really there and care for the cast. The atmosphere is superb and Bioware again nails with voice acting.
Some will not like some changes in combat, but works for me.
Awesome game, a must buy for people who loves a great story. -

Oct 17, 2010The movie was a little slow about 75% of the way through but that is the only complaint. Great cast. Fantastic story. Even better action. Might not be completely plausable but that is why it makes such a great movie. I would advise making plans to go see this.
Oct 9, 2010"Ben Affleck Directs a stunning masterpiece , in this one of kind thrill to the min thriller , that will keep you on the edge of your seat, The Town is one of the best films of the year which include Oscar worthy performances from John Ham & Jeramey Renner" .. A-
Oct 5, 2010This film only needs merely a sentence from me, and here it is. This is one of the best films of the year, and you must see it immediately; because not only is it epic, it is breath-stealing, fast-action, awesomeness.
Oct 4, 2010Wow, this movie is an absolute 12!!! By far the best movie I've seen in 10 years. It's simply riveting. Run, don't walk, to see it. I smell an Oscar! We are going to see it again.

Sep 26, 2010A Brilliant Film - Jon Hamm and Jeremy Renner Deserve Oscars - Ben Affleck, Blake Lively, Pete Postlethwaite and Rebecca Hall also deserve recognition - Better than Heat - My Favourite Movie of the year so far - Unmissable!
Sep 25, 2010Ben Affleck proves that he can not only act but direct too. He perfectly adapts the novel from which it is based and make into something interesting and entertaining to watch.
Sep 23, 2010
Sep 21, 2010
A first-class genre entry stacked with dandy performances and some crackerjack action to boot.
This second feature doesn't resonate with nearly as much power, but its suspenseful story of two generations of career criminals in the city's northerly Charlestown neighborhood has a similarly haunting quality.
A rich, dark, pulpy mess of entanglements that fulfills all the requirements of the genre, and is told with an ease and gusto that make the pulp tasty.

Lost his last 2 in this weight class, got busted cheating like a bitch in his last fight and he wants a top 5????
Goodbye Mr. Burton
All in the reflexes
Anderson Silva 5: TRT USERS 0 Hendo - Forrest - Nate - Chael... twice
I still want to know what exactly he got busted for. My best guess is that it wasn't a steroid nor some kind of diuretic. I think he took something like xanax, weed, or painkillers... due to depression caused by losing his father.
Hunt vs Silva 2013
I lol'd when Shields said he had better striking. Jake, you have NO STRIKING. Everyone's striking is better than yours. I hope Woodley knocks the entitlement outta this guy.
I think woodley takes this. I saw him a few months back at a grappling tourney. Man is he solid for a 170 pound man. I was surprised when he knocked heiron's block off. I think shields is in trouble b/c this fight takes place where Tyrone wants it to and I don't believe shields when he says he is a better striker. War MU! You better call Tyrone! You better pick up the phone (from a comedy routine but I can't remember which one)
-The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.Mr. MMA News Poster, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone at this forum site is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Miss Utah's pageant answer fails to 'create education better'
Posted by Austin Tedesco
June 17, 2013 11:23 AM
Marissa Powell started off so strong. Last night, Miss Utah got a question about women earning less money than men despite being primary earners in the 40 percent of American families with children. Powell's response?
It's almost like she knew she was going to talk about education no matter what. Then just look at that smile as she slowly realizes she has no idea what she's talking about. It's great. Ironically, as she tries relating the issue to how education has failed women, education unfortunately turns around and fails her.

The Academy Awards Handbook 2001 (2001), John Harkness 70 Years of the Oscar: The Official History of the Academy Awards (1999), Robert Osborne Inside Oscar: The Unofficial History of the Academy Awards (1996), Mason Wiley Oscar Fever: The History & Politics of the Academy Awards (2001), Emanuel Levy |
Pure philistine ignorance is the standard slur leveled against the Academy for its crimes. But closer inspection of its history reveals a subtler (though just as consistent) laxity. Though Oscar usually has the sobriety to nominate a few worthy candidates in each major category per year, it almost always passes them over. But occasionally, inexplicably, it realizes the error-and in a strange, cyclical rite of botched magnanimity, laurels the previously-snubbed artist when the honor is no longer as deserved. Of course, each time it doles out such retroactive praise, the Academy only robs another should-be winner--and thus resets the Oscar egg timer for its next well-meaning offense.
The last ten years' worth are documented below, with a few special cases thrown in. In a perverse way, it can be comforting: Ed Harris, Joan Allen, your day will come. If only we could know you'd deserve it when it does2000
BEST ACTOR, Russell Crowe for Gladiator
Should have won: 1999, The Insider
Crowe's transformation from chiseled thug in L.A. Confidential to lumpen whistleblower in The Insider astounded, if only for its anti-commercial daring. When one also considers how masterfully nuanced his performance as Jeffrey Wigand really was--eyes askant, lower lip quivering at every crisis, as if he were chewing it off from the inside--it's a crime he walked off empty-handed last year. Now, of course, he's morphed back into chiseled mode, and with a dubious Oscar for his efforts, he'll probably stay there.
BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY, Cameron
Crowe for Almost Famous
Should have won: 1996, Jerry Maguire
Before he ever became a cuddly director, Crowe was a whip-smart writer. Beginning with Fast Times at Ridgemont High, his streak of classic scripts reached its apotheosis with Jerry Maguire, which is to romantic comedies what The Godfather is to mob pics. Its plot starts where others end; its dialogue never sacrifices character for zingers (in fact, it usually combines them); its ambitious structure justifies every scene and never bores. Almost Famous--bloated, hagiographic, strained, and saccharine--might well be the sophomore slump Crowe never had.
BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY, Conrad L.
Hall for American
Late career appreciation award
It's not that Hall, the reigning doyen of American cinematographers, didn't do a great job with last year's Oscar sweeper; rather, he's done much better in the past, and as luminous as Beauty often was, Dante Spinotti's exquisite work on The Insider outshone all else. But with Beauty mopping up in other categories, the Academy no doubt deemed this an opportune time to acknowledge the master's career. Incidentally, they pulled the same trick in 1969: Hall won his other late-Oscar for Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, whose day-for-night-marred imagery (sorry, not even Conrad Hall can make that effect look good) stood in for his crystalline black-and-white work on 1967's true-crime thriller In Cold Blood.
BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY, John
Irving for The Cider
House Rules
Late literary appreciation award
If Hollywood wanted to atone for its perennial dismissal of screenwriting litterateurs (Graham Greene, Hanif Kureishi, Vladimir Nabokov, Terry Southern, John Steinbeck, et. al.), they couldn't have picked a worse representative. Irving's soppy ethico-political turkey shoot joins Norman Mailer's Tough Guys Don't Dance and Martin Amis's Saturn 3 to complete the trinity of Loathsome Scripts By Canonized Novelists. At least Amis used the experience to write Money, his greatest novel; Irving just jerked off a memoir, My Movie Business.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS, Dame Judi
Dench for Shakespeare
in Love
Should have won: 1997, Mrs. Brown (BEST ACTRESS)
Yes, she was entertaining in Miramax's vaunted Spielberg-snubber (remember his face when Saving Private Ryan didn't win Best Picture?). However, Dench's win for a paltry 8 minutes of screen time is testament more to the militant efficacy of Weinstein's publicists than anything else. For an actual performance, her portrayal of a grieving Queen Victoria vivified by a blustery Scot in the otherwise-crappy Mrs. Brown displays an excellence typical of her classical background.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR, Robin
Williams for Good Will Hunting
Should have won: 1991, The Fisher King (BEST ACTOR)
Somehow the Academy mistook portentous repetition ("It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault.") for great acting, and nudged Williams down a slippery, sappy slope which led to such depths as What Dreams May Come, Patch Adams and Bicentennial Man. In contrast, The Fisher King was the last time Williams' manic bombast would be harnessed by material daring enough to exploit it. Inhabiting a tragically unhinged, fantasy-obsessed hobo with desperate energy, Williams gives Terry Gilliam's whacked quest flick an accidental soul.
BEST DIRECTOR, Robert Zemeckis for
Forrest Gump
Should have won: 1985, Back to the Future (BEST SCREENPLAY)
The bottom line: Forrest Gump isn't as bad as it has since become oh-so-hip to say. Zemeckis may be a hack, but if so, he's one of the most talented we've got. Still, against what would become the most influential film of the decade, Pulp Fiction, Gump looks ridiculous. Oscar missed its chance to honor Zemeckis by nine years: Back to the Future, though certainly not as epochal as Pulp Fiction, is a comic screenplay of almost geometric perfection. Every line, deft; every scene, vital; every loose end, tied. In a perfect world, Zemeckis would also have at least been nominated for, if not awarded, the Director statue for this hilarious classic.
BEST DIRECTOR, Steven Spielberg
for Schindler's List
Should have won: 1982, Raiders of the Lost Ark OR 1977, Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Again, this is not so much undeserved as it is scathingly indicative of the Academy's myopia. Awarding Spielberg his long-overdue Oscar for this guilt-juggernaut not only maligned his previous work, it also inaugurated his flaccid wanderings into History Hinterland (Amistad, Saving Private Ryan). Twenty years ago, Spielberg's films had a vitality they now somehow lack: Raiders is diamond-flawless pop, lean and adrenalised for every frame; Close Encounters, archaic effects and all, has more inspired, effusive wonder than any CG'ed dinosaur flick. Both are milestones in cinema history, and it's sad that Oscar couldn't notice Spielberg until he twisted its arm.
BEST ACTOR, Al Pacino for Scent of a Woman
Should have won: anything between 1972 and 1975
Al Pacino had one of the most electric acting streaks of the last 50 years between '72 and '75: The Godfather, Serpico, Godfather II, and Dog Day Afternoon. All resulted in Best Actor nominations (except The Godfather, for which he was inexplicably demoted to Supporting). Pacino submerged completely into his roles, channelling a reluctant Mafia dauphin and a bipolar homosexual bankrobber with equally unflinching intensity. Two decades later, for chewing scenery as a pitiable blind patriarch, Pacino finally scores. "Too little too late" must have been coined for this disgrace.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR, Jack
Palance for City Slickers
Should have won: 1953, Shane
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR, Joe Pesci
for Goodfellas
Should have won: 1980, Raging Bull
Pesci's scenes in this Scorsese comeback film have been forced through the pop-cult meatgrinder so many times they've become iconic, shorthand for psycho--much like De Niro's "you talkin' to me?" bit. Unlike De Niro, though, Pesci doesn't lose much when reduced to parody, because here he's playing a stereotype to begin with (although a very charismatic one). His work in Scorsese's earlier comeback film is much more rounded, less baroque: he plays the titular boxer's beleaguered brother with a quiet honesty that was on the wane in Goodfellas and gone completely by Casino.

Listed in the National Register of Historic Places and located in the heart of the city, Stranahan House stands as one of the few remaining shadows of Fort Lauderdale's pioneer heritage. The house was constructed in 1901 by the eponymous Frank Stranahan as a trading post for early settlers, native Seminole Indians, and the now-extinct verbose alligator. After the burgeoning town appropriated it for use as a post office, town hall, and more through the decades, historians painstakingly restored it to its 1913–1915 glory. On three daily tours lasting 45 to 60 minutes, expert guides lead local history buffs through its rooms, detailing the house's multitudinous uses, showing off its Victorian furniture, and offering a glimpse into the vernacular architecture of the bygone era.

The trampolines also add an extra thrill to the aerobic workouts during Off The Wall's fitness classes.
Off The Wall's remaining 25,500 square feet contain other exciting indoor attractions as well, including a rock wall and and arcade full of new and old-school games with a variety of prizes available. A restaurant with a java bar is also available for guests looking for something to eat or drink.

To properly care for these baby birds, SNC's professional staff and volunteers feed them, supply a heat source, and give medication when needed, along with keeping the bird enclosures clean. When the birds are ready, they're moved to larger cages, and finally move to the flight aviary where they strengthen their wings. The SNC relies on donations to help it accommodate the extra charges it receives during breeding season, including the costs of purchasing specialized food and other necessary resources to care for the birds.
Montreal native Tony Bianco teamed up with executive chef Enzo Addario to create Hot Tomatoe, a traditional Italian bistro boasting a menu that brims with house-made, cooked-to-order pastas, flavorful meat dishes, and full- and light-bodied Italian wines. Their regional cuisine typically integrates up to seven essential ingredients—oil, garlic, basil, tomatoes, pasta, and olives—from which Snow White's seven dwarves drew their names. In addition, the staff goes shopping for fresh ingredients three to four days a week to supplement both seasonal compositions and year-round dishes, which include veal parmigiana, filet mignon, and penne norma.

Some Curves/Tall
I bought this dress (through a different site) and am in love. The colour is great for this season and the fabric is extremely flattering. It's also double-lined so no concern about it being sheer. I did find the sizing pretty generous though and wish that I had gone down a size. I bought a small and it definitely is not as fitted as it appears on the model. I'm 5'9" and the length was just right.

Some Curves/Average Height
I got this in black and it really is one of the top LBDs I've ever owned. The feel of the meshy, silky fabric is just awesome and the cut is wonderful. It will flatter any body, I'm certain of it. It's quite conservative but looks incredibly sexy at the same time. The hood is also adorable and makes the dress very original. I feel great in this dress and will have it for a very, very long time. Alexander Wang made a truly great dress here.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Taylor Green gets first shot at first base
Phoenix - Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said Taylor Green will get the first crack at first base when the Brewers open their exhibition season Saturday against Oakland at Maryvale Baseball Park.
The Brewers have to figure out which player or players will be at first base when the season opens after Mat Gamel was lost with a second ACL tear in his right knee in less than a year. Green made 14 starts for the Brewers last season at first base.
Roenicke also plans to use veteran infielders Bobby Crosby and Alex Gonzalez at first base in exhibition play. Crosby, originally a shortstop, has played some first base in the majors but is attempting a comeback after sitting out the last two seasons. Gonzalez has played only shortstop in the majors but is working out at first base in camp.
First baseman Hunter Morris, the Southern League player of the year in 2012 at Class AA Huntsville, will see plenty of action this spring. Sean Halton, the starter at Class AAA Nashville, also is in camp and will play in games.
"We'll have a lot of different faces early," said Roenicke.
Roenicke said Gonzalez worked out at first base Thursday, "And like expected was outstanding for the first day doing it. I talked to him today about it and he's fine (to play in games).
"Right away, it's nice that I can look at who I need to rest and how I can make it fair in terms of playing time."

Did Braun get suspended yet?
For What?
Come on. Brewers fans still believe the guy didn't take PEDS? He was on the list with fellow juicers, Melky and A-Rod, with $1500 next to his name. Consulting fee, right?
i just put your name on a list with "dbag" next to it.
You want to argue you're not one?
Go ahead. It will do you no good.
You're on a list. -
He was also on a list with Gio Gionzalez, who submitted to a blood and urine test and came back clean.
My money's on Halton. I haven't seen or heard enough of him to judge whether he's a good glove over there but he's certainly the biggest target they have (6-5), and the only natural 1B among the bunch. That can only help when the SS is as young and untested as Segura.
Crosby and Gonzales just seem like acts of desperation. Green is 5-11 and stiff. And while they likely view Morris as having greater upside than Halton, this is a temporary fix. I sure wouldn't expect them to start Morris's arby clock for a 6-week solution, especially given the concerns they still have about his swing vs MLB pitching.-
I'll correct you. Green is 5-11 and "A" stiff. If Taylor Green is our contingency plan at first, even for a month, we're in sad shape for depth on this team. Big Foam Finger Guy, In Between Inning Tee-Shirt Launcher or Toss the Frisbee In the Hole Fan could do just as well as Taylor Green will.
I'm sure Roenicke is throwing out a lot of names as first base candidates because he figures the more competition the better; and who ever is hottest at the end of spring will get the nod - after all, it's only 6 weeks. But I also thought it would be Halton just to see what he can do against Major League pitching, and if he does well, Halton could be trade bait, as Hunter Morris will definitely be THE man in Nashville this year - nowhere for Halton to go back to.
So... who gets the second crack?
If Green is the first baseman on March 31 we is in trouble.Hopefully RR looks at all candidates openly and picks the right one which I would think would be anyone but Green.

Out of stock
This product is not available. Please check back soon for more info
Product Description

Only 237 calories.
3 of your 5-a-day.
At stewed!... we've always specialised in combining wholesome handfuls of the most delicious ingredients... Right from the very start, in London farmers' markets, we brought rich, hearty and full bodied flavours together to remind everyone that one pot meals are the perfect marriage of sumptuous feast and culinary convenience.
We don't dabble in dainty, dull or 'hints of' ... Each and every tub overflows with great big chunks, intense flavours and a large helping of personality.
Our delicious one pot meals are based on traditional stew recipes. Each pot is well balanced with both protein and portions of veg. They're free from gluten, artificial preservatives and flavourings and they make a great healthy lunch or easy dinner.
Why do stewed! pots taste so good?
Here at stewed! HQ, we make our meals in one big pot, allowing all the flavours to combine perfectly just like you would at home (except our pot's a bit bigger....!)
Because we cook everything together, and because we don't measure every ingredient individually by the milligram into each little tub (some people do, you know...), no two pots will ever be the same. But we like that! After all, variety is the spice of life!
Our work with Trees for Cities
In case you've not heard of Trees for Cities before, they plant trees as well as edible gardens and playgrounds in schools and local communities around the UK and internationally. Part of their work involves teaching children and adults about the origins of the food they eat.
We really love what they do so we've decided to help them where we can. We donate our one pot meals at their tree planting events, we're going into schools to teach children how to cook the food from their edible playgrounds and we're also getting the message out there by simply telling people like you about the wonderful work they do!

I will be off for a few days around Christmas so I thought it might be time to sum up some of long term prospects for rain.
Rain looks likely Saturday, again late Sunday into Monday and again on Wednesday of next week. However that doesn't look to be the end of the active weather streak. Models have been somewhat consistent in suggesting another strong storm around the 30th to the 1st. But it comes with major questions as well. The current outlook has a cut-off low trying to draw in significant southerly fetch which could soak the Central or Southcoast. But cut-off lows are notorious in the difficulty to pin down even in short term forecasts. The difference in position of 20 or 30 miles in the area of the circulation center can mean the difference between getting nailed or it being a complete dud.
So why mention it? Because of the high side potential, because at this point the system could also soak us on the weekend before New Year which is a time a lot of folks about be traveling.
I invite you to follow us over the next few weeks as it will be active.
Through Wednesday of next week 1-2" is possible for the Central Coast, perhaps even more. Northern CA looks very wet, while Southern CA gets only a glancing blow.

Steam Machine Carpet Cleaning did a good job!
Hi! I am a first time customer who after reading reviews thought I'd give this company a try and am I glad I did. Tom was very prompt and professional, the quality of work was amazing and I paid the exact price that I was quoted over the phone. I will definitely do business with this company again and recommend to all of my family and friends. Thanks to Steam Machine and Tom for a wonderful experience...........
Fuquay Varina has several Carpet Cleaners. Im very glad I chose Steam Machine, they are very reasonable. I also recommend this company. .
Great experience. Had carpets in entire house cleaned any they look so much better. The two man team was courteous, professional, and did a great job. Sent a message to friends asking for recommendations for carpet cleaners, and Steam Machine Carpet Cleaning was highly recommended. Very pleased with the work they did, plan to call them again to clean sofas.
Fantastic Customer Service. I called Steam Machine for a yearly carpet cleaning. It was just before the holidays and after not having a good experience with another company the year before, I hoped Steam machine would provide better service and quality workmanship...and I was certainly not let down. Ken was the technician that came out and was very professional, wore uniforms with their names so I felt comfortable and trusted them in our home. They did an excellent job. They were a slightly more expensive then their competitors when I was shopping coupons on the internet, but I guess you get what you pay for -
Great Customer Service!
Steam Machine of Apex just finished my carpet cleaning. They were very kind and did such a nice job. I will recommend.
Excellent job cleaning our carpets. Very happy with the services, they made out 11 year old carpets look great especially after 5 kids!The guys came and did a great job, very upfront and easy to talk to, needless to say they did a greater job than I would have ever expected.
I would of course rehire them to come back any time and do the cleaning process again. Excellent and an immediate 5 stars.
Awesome Apex Carpet Cleaners
My Apex office and Cary home were just completed by Steam Machine Carpet Cleaning.
They gave me a better deal than any one else I called and they did an excellent job cleaning my carpets in both locations.
They were much better than the last place I had. I will definitely have them return every year and refer them to my friends.
Tammy & Todd Henderson
Cleaned carpeting upstairs and downstairs in 1500 square foot house.
Mediocre job at best. After he left, I found trails of "red stain" in several places on carpet. Overall, the carpet did not look that much better. Later I spent $100 to buy a steam cleaner and did a superior job myself. My real estate broker was very impressed with my work
The BEST CARPET CLEANER IS Steam Machine, they got all my soot lines out along the walls. They did a fine job.............! Steam Machine is Tops!

Maria Sharapova has often called her run to the Australian Open 2008 title her best tournament ever, and for a very good reason: back then she beat a host of standout players to win her sole crown in Melbourne, including former champions Lindsay Davenport and Justine Henin, Olympic gold medalist Elena Dementieva, and two future No. 1s in Jelena Jankovic and Ana Ivanovic.
"Toughest draw in my career," Sharapova said on Sunday.
In her first four matches in 2008 she lost a total of 16 games: she beat Jelena Kostanic-Tosic in the first round; Davenport in the second round; fellow Russian Elena Vesnina in the third round; and Dementieva in the fourth.
After being pushed briefly at the start of her fourth round match by Belgium's Kirsten Flipkens on Sunday, Sharapova raced away to a 6-1 6-0 victory. The 25-year-old began the 2013 tournament with two 6-0 6-0 wins, and then took the first four games of her match over seven-time Grand Slam winner Venus Williams before completing a 6-1 6-3 victory.
All in all, Sharapova has lost five games in four matches this week, the fewest number of games conceded to the quarterfinal stage of the Australian Open by any player since 1988, the introduction of the 128-player draw.
Yes, it could be argued that she's playing even better than her run in 2008, which was two months before she first injured her right shoulder that eventually led to surgery.
"You have to face whoever's in the next round," she said. "Whether it's Flipkens – and it won't be Dementieva now – it's who's ahead of you. It doesn't really matter. There's a reason why your opponent gets to that stage of the tournament. I mean, [Flipkens] beats Zakopalova like 2 and 1. She has a different type of game, one you don't see so much. That's why she wins so many matches."
The 27-year-old Flipkens tried to mix it up against Sharapova, employing her sharp backhand slice and trying to get to the net, but four-time Grand Slam champion was striking the ball too deep and too hard to give her much of a chance.
The Russian finished the match with 25 winners to just four from Flipkens. She broke the Belgian six times, who won only 22 of her 57 service points.
"It's really about keeping your focus and no matter what the score is, no matter if you're up," Sharapova said.
"I didn't start the match really great. I was facing a different type of opponent today and I was making a few more mistakes than I would have liked in the beginning. But after I held at 2‑1, I really started making her play a little bit more. Started really getting under the ball and being aggressive and just had a little bit more energy, which really helped me and I carried that throughout the match. It's always much easier said than done to keep that focus."
Sharapova will face 19th seed Ekaterina Makarova in the next round, who took care of fellow left-hander and No. 5 Angelique Kerber 7-5 6-4 earlier on Sunday.
In 2008, Sharapova went into her quarterfinal against Henin with a head of steam as she believed she had choked the 2007 WTA finals against her in Madrid. After that match, Sharapova had wept and vowed to get her back. She clocked Henin in Melbourne two months late, and on Sunday, she said that it was after that win that she knew she could take the title.
Sharapova is unsure if she has that special Slam-winning feeling yet, but by the looks of her performance in the first week, it's going to take a monumental effort from anyone to knock her off.
"Sometimes if you're playing really good in practice I get a little bit worried," she said. "But I never do. I'm horrible in practice most of the time. I'm like, 'that's a great sign', because I come to the matches and my expectations are quite low.
"But I think it depends. Every Grand Slam that I've won or done well at, I've always felt different actually. Sometimes I feel like I'm not playing my best tennis in the beginning, but I start playing better. And then a couple that I've won, I felt like I was playing great from the beginning and I was able to carry that through the whole tournament."

Spirebound Crab
Idles about.
Vocalizations (on-click)
Found a rare first battle on Windward Isle 1:30pm realm time.
After clearing the Isle of these little guys and not finding a rare, I decided to take an uncommon and use a stone on him. I looked for a rare for over 2 hours, battling every pet from the crab to the petrel. Picked up a rare or two of the 2nd and/or 3rd pets, but no rare crab! I'm going to try again today before I use up a stone, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
This guy is special, if you get the right breed. The 2 panda crabs are the only crabs with a P/P breed. This also means bigger heals, so he'll hit as hard as possible and have the largest possible heals, which will make up for health lower than the H/H breed.
Reirei is absolutely right. Windward Isle is the place to go to get this crab. With the exception of the Coral Adder, the Bucktooth Flapper and the special flying serpent babies, you can get all the Jade Forest battle pets in the Isle. I believe I saw all of the them as second or third pets to the Spirebound Crab and the Sandy Petrel. Watching the Pro Bowl, I got 2 pets to lvl 25 and got all the rares I was missing in the Isle...Good Luck!!!!
There are a lot of these on Windward Isle.
