Probably the Best Green Superfood Out There
By: Anonymous from Chicago, IL US on May 15, 2013
"The first superfood mix I purchased was Raw Reserve, which I think is the best, but expensive. I then began using the original and find that for all intensive purposes, it works just fine. I stock up on the 100 serving containers at the start of each year.
I seem to be having a lot of gas in my stomach/bowels and am wondering if that is from the superfood mix, however. I still need to experiment/investigate.
I wish they would have put their suggestion for keeping it refrigerated in BOLD, because it took me a month or two to realize I should've kept it in the fridge.
I think it would be great if they offered the 100 serving option for the Raw Reserve so I could mix in one of those with the original."

"mixed this with 1/2 coconut water and 1/2 of my favorite juice. Makes a great breakfast beverage and kicks my brain into gear for my hectic morning. Add a scoop to my favorite vegetables I juice at home and this becomes one incredible health kick! I'm hooked."

"This is my second order of the Amazing Grass Superfoods. This is the best thing ever happens to me. It is so great with your favorite smoothies! I tried with just orange juice and it is okay but it is best with smoothies. For those who have not try the Amazing Grass Green, you best get yourself one of those Superfoods and supports your own body and being. "

out to pasture!
By: parker from sapphire, US on December 13, 2013
"We all know that as we age our bodies shift, inside and out. As one who has used organic and whole nutrition for decades to fuel my body, it has been a bit of surprise for my digestion to slow down. Have tried herbal digestive bitters, consumed even more ferments than usual, eaten less calories, re-arranged food groups. Nothing was firing all cylinders. I had purchased a bottle of Green Superfood original [no stevia] for my pets [they also eat a healthy raw diet with lots of greens] so thought: heck, why not? So the pets shared with me and WOW! We all enjoy our morning servings and are vital as can be. Perhaps Amazing Grass would want to research the more appropriate probiotics specific for pets as more folks are feeding naturally. I do not worry as I my pets have very strong immune systems so are fine with the "human" probiotics. Natural Rearing speaks for itself!

amazing grass
By: Sunshine from Sarasota, FL US on August 12, 2013
"We are very happy with the original (non flavored) product. I had not realized previously that this product contains a lot more MG greens than some of the flavored. you might want to make sure people are aware of this. thanks! I would recommend this."

The Menzingers - Roots Radical Live @ Lola's, Fort Worth, TX 1/25/14
Ended the night watching The Menzingers cover Rancid from this close. And now In n Out, a good evening.
Got tickets for The Menzingers in January and Dave Hause in March for a grand total of $30.
Merry Christmas to me
Tonight at 9PM at the Dallas Comedy House, my friends in Atlantic Pacific Billy bring a crazy idea of mine to life. Come watch as they hear the original 1938 War of the Worlds broadcast and improvised accordingly!
Being Home
It's great to see my family, it's great to see my friends. When neither are around, however, I'm quickly reminded of all the reasons I left, and all the reasons I don't want to move back.

Protesters scaled the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative on Monday and dropped banners calling for greater transparency and an end to "corporatocracy" over the ongoing and secretive Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement currently in the works between the United States and several Pacific nations.
CWA devised a simple plan for which they were uniquely suited: drag TPP out of the shadows and into the light - one city at a time - using a medium they understand intimately: Daily Newspapers!
Two CWA members - Dave Felice in Denver, CO and Madelyn Elder in Portland, OR have started the ball rolling. We just need to keep up the momentum leading up to a big day of petition deliveries.
Step 1 is to send an Op-Ed to your Daily Newspaper.
MoveOn.org Petition - Congress Don't Renew Fast Track
Public Citizen Petition - Congress Must Reject Fast Track Authority
MoveOn.org Petition - Stop the Trans Pacific Partnership
CREDO Petition - Stop the Massive Corporate Power Grab
If your Representative is not currently a cosponsor of HR 1000 they may not completely understand how important full employment is to your community; click on your state at the bottom of this page to see all the cosponsors in your state. Nothing sends a stronger message to a Congressional member than a personal visit to a district office by a voter with a written request. Phone calls and emails are incredibly important but nothing gets attention like a personal visit. Our Educate Congress page has information and a sample letter. Print the letter, sign it, deliver it.

A lot can happen in a decade. Think back 10 years ago. Associations were just starting to put up Web pages, mostly as informational brochures. Hotels were just beginning to realize that they could charge associations attrition fees and not lose business. The exhibition industry was still celebrating four decades of growth — oblivious to the wall ahead. Convention centers were mostly a big-city phenomenon. And of course, 9/11 and all that has ensured was something no one ever imagined. ...

Hi Konstantinos,
kmeans.m belongs to the NETLAB toolbox which I included in the MIRtoolbox distribution. Netlab is used only for mirclassify, so if you don't use it, just remove the Netlab subfolder.
Hi Ayat,
Great to see very nice application of the toolbox!
The error you got is due to the fact that your version of Matlab, a little old, does not recognize the matlab command "parfor". I have found a simple way to solve that problem. I will send you by email the new version of mireval.m and will include it in the next version of MIRtoolbox.
Hi wei,
Thanks for your comment. I would need to see what is happening exactly in your case. Could you send me (firstname.lastname@example.com) the mp3 file as well as the set of MIRtoolbox commands you used?
Hi there!
This is Wendy, a postgraduate student. I'm using MIRtool to extract features of music. Is it able to get the Standard Deviation(std) of features directly(e.g. MFCC)? Or, I have to calculate myself?
Your prompt reply, therefore, will be appreciated.
I'm using Matlab R2012a where I've installed Mirtoolbox. But .mp3 file is not analyzed when I'm using miraudio or mirrms functions.
Here are the error message returned by each reader:
Error using wavread (line 164)
Not a WAVE file.
Error using auread>read_sndhdr (line 91)
Not a NeXT/Sun sound file.
Error using wavread (line 67)
Invalid Wave File. Reason: Cannot open file.
Error using aiffread (line 127)
Unknown file extension '.mp3'.
Error using mirerror (line 4)
ERROR using MIRREAD: Cannot open file r1.mp3
Error in mirread>misread (line 142)
mirerror('MIRREAD',['Cannot open file ',file]);
Error in mirread (line 57)
misread(orig, err);
Error in mireval (line 68)
[d1,tp1,fp1,f1,lg,b,n,ch] = mirread([],file,0,0,0);
Error in mirfunction (line 69)
o = mireval(o,filename,nout);
Error in mirrms (line 27)
varargout = mirfunction(@mirrms,x,varargin,nargout,specif,@init,@main);
Please solve the problem.Waiting for your reply.
Hi there,
Although MIR Toolbox is a really useful tool, it is overloading the built in function kmeans in MATLAB.
Would be possible to avoid this? If yes, how should be done?
Thank you.

This is amazing. Burd sent this over and a wave of nostalgia hit me. He and his son spent a Sunday out on their bikes… R.I.P. Bootleg Sessions.
Colby from SKYLMT has been putting in some serious time with one of FGFS' most talented riders, Josh Boothby and it's worth the watch.
This is a PiNP exclusive!
You can't miss these chill thrills coming from Matt Spencer in the newest edit for Wolf Drawn! Next time you should kick some cones too dude.
The guys from FOAD have a bonus section in the new Can't Fool the Youth 2 DVD. Check out riding from Jackson Bradshaw, Izik Service, Sam Allgood, Chase Davis, Jacob Ruff, Kareem Shehab, Parker Thompson, and Evan Service.
I simply love what Torey has done with Wrahw over the past few years. He's established a family of riders that are all like-minded and ride with a similar style, the latest being Colin Foster. Colin's riding in Baltimore and NYC is far from what you'd call the norm in FGFS today. Unfortunately, this will be the last Wrahw project, as released this statement with the video:
"fter four years of weird fun it is time for WRAHW to come to a close. This project has grown to a level way beyond my expectations and I am highly thankful for that, but it is time to move on. I really appreciate all the friends and family of ours that have been down since the beginning, and anyone who has helped support us in any and all ways. Thanks a lot. Stay wild."
Check out the latest from Wheel Talk and the lens of Matt Reyes. Omar Sebai is a 16 year old from So Cal. This video was shot in three days throughout SF and San Jose.
Check out Phil and his big boy finesse as he hits some street and some park for Burro Bags. Great to see more clips from you brother!
Jeff Dempler from Wheel Talk has been shredding the new Destroy 22mm cranks and made this short video.

Fixed Mag 15 will be launching later this month, both digitally and hard copies. It features articles on Southern Safari, SKYLMT, Stanridge Speed and Grime. Inside the physical copies are free posters of the cover photo and I have to say, that is one of the sickest FGFS photos I've ever seen. Keep an eye out later this month for the drop.
Can't Fool the Youth 2 is going on sale now and as a promo, they're offering up a free Gus "Eyelurk" Molina Zine to the first 100 orders! Scoop one up here!

Ashburn, VA (SportsNetwork.com) - Former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson is staying in the NFC East.
The Washington Redskins announced Wednesday the signing of the dynamic playmaker. According to multiple reports, Jackson, 27, joined the Redskins on a three-year contract worth $24 million, including $16 million guaranteed.
The Eagles released Jackson, a three-time Pro Bowler, last Friday after six seasons on the same day a report on NJ.com raised questions about his off- field behavior, mentioning alleged gang connections that Jackson vehemently denied.
On the field, Jackson is coming off his best season with career highs of 82 receptions and 1,332 yards. His nine touchdown receptions matched a personal best.
"We are all excited to have him join our team. Our team and this city will be there for him," Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III said about Jackson.
For his career, the California product has caught 356 passes for 6,117 yards and 32 touchdowns in 87 games.
The Redskins signed free-agent safety Ryan Clark earlier Wednesday.

Course Conduct of Course, Course Policies,
Software Issues and Assignments
Conduct of Course
A variety of teaching/learning methods and experiences will be used throughout the semester in an effort to address course content and to help students meet course objectives. Activities will include online lectures, assigned readings, some discussion forums and quizzes, in addition to the assignments mentioned in the syllabus and discussed below.
The instructor will post weekly announcements, updates, and reminders (under "Announcements") and students will have time to work on their assignments until Sunday at 11:00 PM of the following week. Failure to submit assignments by such deadline will count as an absence from the class on that week. (SEE ATTANDENCE POLICY)
Course Policies
Grade of Incomplete: A grade of Incomplete (I) may be assigned by an instructor only when exceptional circumstances such as an illness, injury, or a family emergency prevents a student from finishing all the work required for the course. The grade of Incomplete may be considered only when a substantial portion of the course work has already been completed, the coursework is of satisfactory quality, and no more than one major exam or assignment is outstanding. The student who does not meet these requirements should meet with her/his advisor to withdraw from the course(s) in question. The student should refer to the Registrar's Office on her/his respective campus regarding the policies and deadline for automatic withdrawal for the semester in question.
The student is responsible for initiating the request for a grade of Incomplete. If the instructor agrees, the instructor and student complete and sign a Record of Incomplete and Contract for Completion of Course Requirements form to ensure that a sound educational plan and time frame for completion of course requirements have been established. Failure to fulfill the terms of this contract within the stipulated time frame may result in a failing grade. For removal of a grade of Incomplete, the student is subject to the IUSSW policy, which has precedence over the University policy.
Indiana University School of Social Work Policy on Plagiarism
The School of Social Work follows the Indiana University policy on plagiarism which states:
Plagiarism is defined as presenting someone else's work, including the work of other students, as one's own. Any ideas or materials taken from another source for either written or oral use must be fully acknowledged, unless the information is common knowledge. What is considered "common knowledge" may differ from course to course.

conduct. Available: http://www.iupui.edu/code/
IU School of Social Work Addendum to Indiana University Policy on Plagiarism
In addition to the university statement on plagiarism which is published in the IU Student Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct, the IU School of Social Work defines plagiarism as including:
Software Issues
It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the tools to complete an online class. In this case, you must have access to a reliable computer, whether it be at home, the public library, or on campus. You must have the following software installed on your computer:
- Acrobat Reader: read and print Portable Document Format (PDF) files
- Microsoft Office which includes Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
The most current version of Microsoft Office might not compatible with previous versions. Therefore, I strongly suggest that you visit https://iuware.iu.edu/ and download the most current software. IT'S FREE to you as a student.
All assignments are expected to be written using ONLY Microsoft Word (please, do not use Microsoft Works, Word Perfect, etc.).
A description of major assignments to be completed in this course follows:

B Good 83-86
B- Fair 80-82
C+ Acceptable 77-79
C Minimally 73-76
C- Unsatisfactory 70-72
IU School of Social Work Grading Policy
In the Indiana University School of Social Work MSW program, grades of B are the expected norm. Reflecting competency and proficiency, grades of B reflect good or high quality work typical of graduate students in professional schools. Indeed, professors typically evaluate students' work in such a way that B is the average grade. Grades in both the A and the C range are relatively uncommon and reflect work that is significantly superior to or significantly inferior, respectively, to the average, high quality, professional work conducted by most IU MSW students. Because of this approach to grading, students who routinely earned A grades in their undergraduate studies may conclude that a B grade reflects a decrease in their academic performance. Such is not the case. Grades of B in the IU MSW program reflect the average, highly competent, proficient quality of our students. In a sense, a B grade in graduate school is analogous to an A grade in undergraduate studies. MSW students must work extremely hard to achieve a B grade. If you are fortunate enough receive a B, prize it as evidence of the professional quality of your work.
Grades of A reflect Excellence. Excellent scholarly products and academic or professional performances are substantially superior to the "good," "the high quality," "the competent," or the "satisfactory." They are unusual, exceptional, and extraordinary. Criteria for assignments are not only met, they are exceeded by a significant margin. Excellence is a rare phenomenon. As a result, relatively few MSW students earn A grades.
Grades of B signify good or high quality scholarly products and academic or professional performance. Grades in the B range reflect work expected of a conscientious graduate student in a professional program. Criteria for assignments are met in a competent, thoughtful, and professional manner. However, the criteria are not exceeded and the quality is not substantially superior to other good quality products or performances. There is a clear distinction between the good and the excellent. We expect that most MSW students will earn grades in the B range—reflecting the good or high quality work expected of competent future helping professionals.
Grades of C and C+ signify work that is marginal in nature. The scholarly products or professional performances meet many but not all of the expected criteria. The work approaches but does not quite meet the standards of quality expected of a graduate student in a professional school. Satisfactory in many respects, its quality is not consistently so and cannot be considered of good or high quality. We anticipate that a minority of MSW students will earn C and C+ grades.
Grades of C- and lower reflect work that is unsatisfactory. The products or performances do not meet several, many, or most of the criteria. The work fails to approach the standards of quality expected of a graduate student and a future MSW-level professional. We anticipate that a small percentage of MSW students will earn unsatisfactory grades of C-,D, and F.
University and School Policies
Students should be familiar with the Indiana University Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct (http://dsa.indiana.edu/Code/index.html), from which many of the policies below are derived.
Cheating is grounds for failing the course and possible dismissal from the program and/or university.
Cheating is considered to be an attempt to use or provide unauthorized assistance, materials, information, or study aids in any form and in any academic exercise or environment. A student must not use external assistance on any "in-class" or "take-home" examination, unless the instructor specifically has authorized external assistance. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, the use of tutors, books, notes, calculators, computers, and wireless communication devices.
A student must not use another person as a substitute in the taking of an examination or quiz, nor allow other persons to conduct research or to prepare work, without advance authorization from the instructor to whom the work is being submitted.
A student must not use materials from a commercial term paper company; files of papers prepared by other persons, or submit documents found on the Internet. A student must not collaborate with other persons on a particular project and submit a copy of a written report that is represented explicitly or implicitly as the student's individual work.
A student must not use any unauthorized assistance in a laboratory, at a computer terminal, or on fieldwork.
Plagiarism is a form of cheating and is grounds for failing the course and possible dismissal from the program and/or university.
Plagiarism is defined as presenting someone else's work, including the work of other students, as one's own. Any ideas or materials taken from another source for either written or oral use must be fully acknowledged, unless the information is common knowledge. What is considered "common knowledge" may differ from course to course.
A student must not adopt or reproduce ideas, opinions, theories, formulas, graphics, or pictures of another person without acknowledgment. A student must give credit to the originality of others and acknowledge indebtedness whenever:
Right to Accommodation for Individuals with Disabilities
Indiana University is committed to creating a learning environment and academic community that promotes educational opportunities for all individuals, including those with disabilities. Course directors are asked to make reasonable accommodations, upon request by the student or the university, for such disabilities. It is the responsibility of students with documented physical or learning disabilities seeking accommodation to notify their course directors and the relevant campus office that deals with such cases in a timely manner concerning the need for such accommodation. Indiana University will make reasonable accommodations for access to programs, services, and facilities as outlined by applicable state and federal laws.

Default namespace best practices?R. Mark Volkmann mark at ociweb.com
Tue Mar 8 17:26:29 PST 2005
What timing! I almost deleted this email, but decided to save it for future reference. Two hours later I ran into this exact problem. Some elements in my input document aren't in a namespace. I want my output document to contain elements that are in a namespace, but I don't want them to be prefixed. Apparently I can do that with XSLT, but not XQuery. Unprefixed references to elements within XPath expressions in my XSLT stylesheet are treated as references to no namespace. This allows me to refer to the elements in my input document that aren't in a namespace. However, in XQuery (using Saxon) they are treated as references to the default element namespace. I seem to be forced to prefix my output elements so that the default element namespace can remain set to "". I can include example XML, XSLT and XQuery if anyone is interested. Quoting Michael Kay <http://xquery.com/mailman/listinfo/talk>: > There are two factors to take into account: > > (a) if you define a default element namespace, then you have no simple way > of referring to (or constructing) elements in the non-namespace. > > (b) if you don't define a default element namespace, then the elements in > your result document will carry a namespace prefix.

Diagnosis Underlies Post's Pessimism on Smart Growth
We would be amused if Martian observers, seeing people with crutches,
concluded that crutches had crippled these folks. Analysts cited in the Washington
Post's recent
series on sprawl are not from Mars, but many confused the crutches
localities fall back upon as the cause of our region's crippling growth
1) regional population growth,For example, a 1980 Congressional study found that Metro, still unfinished, had already generated $2 billion in new land values, "the biggest share of these new values…going to people lucky enough to own land within easy access of Metro stations." Neither Metro nor the taxpayers who financed it recoup the values they generated.
2) public works like roads and schools and
3) special natural features like waterfronts.
Speculation. Sprawl starts at the center of the metropolis and radiates outward. Smith owns a vacant downtown site. If he builds offices or housing, he invites risks and sizeable property tax increases. He keeps his parcel in minimal use like a parking lot. Brown, seeing its potential, offers to buy it. Yet Smith who enjoys rising land values without effort asks a price so high that Brown's venture can't fly. Brown approaches owners of other first-class parcels, meets the same hurdle, and finally buys a cheaper second-class site. More "Browns" do the same.
Soon Jones and other enterprisers find owners of second- and third-class sites boosting their asking prices. Owners get away with this because land hoarding in the core creates an artificial scarcity of affordable sites. "Joneses" are driven farther into the hinterland. Developers, denied entry by inflated land prices to close-in sites best suited for their ventures, invade open space. This race to beat speculators to cheap land fosters leapfrog growth.
How many infill sites in D.C. are withheld by speculation? Some 11,000 vacant lots and 7,000 boarded-up housing units were counted several years ago.
Subsidized Sprawl. Federal and state spending on misplaced highways, utilities, schools and the like subsidize premature urbanization of outlying areas. Tax abatements for malls lay waste to cornfields and forests and sap the vitality of older communities.
Sprawl defenders incorrectly equate the mini-ranch with the American dream. If affordable, many families prefer compact walkable neighborhoods with charm, amenities and mixed uses. People pay premiums to live in the places like Capital Hill, Old Town, Ellicott City and Georgetown. The popular New Community Design and New Urbanism are not new; they copy the virtues of old American cities. A 2001 nationwide survey by the National Association of Realtors found that
Given the barrage of pro-sprawl propaganda, these are remarkable

Police on Sunday in Indianapolis recovered the car stolen during an East Chicago throat-slashing, but they still are searching for the suspect.
Investigators found the Honda Accord that was taken Nov. 26 from the East Chicago South Shore station during an attack.
The man charged in the attack, Jawaun Dontell Woods, 24, of Gary, has not been found, said Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District Police Chief Bob Byrd.
Footage of Woods showed him in the Indianapolis area over the weekend, investigators said.
The car was recovered near 17th and Broadway on Indianapolis' north side. Footage of Woods was taken from a drugstore and gas station in the same area, Byrd said.
Woods has been charged with attempted murder while committing a robbery and robbery resulting in a serious bodily injury, both Class A felonies, and carjacking, a Class B felony.
Police consider him armed and dangerous and are asking anyone who sees him to immediately call 911.
A 28-year-old Chicago man suffered a cut to his neck and lacerations on his hand when he was attacked in the men's bathroom at the train station.
The victim had parked his car and was waiting for his wife to get off the train when he went into the bathroom, police said.
Byrd said Woods approached the victim in the bathroom, attacked him and took his keys, wallet and phone.
The wallet and phone were not recovered with the car, police said.
The victim ran from the bathroom into the parking lot, and Woods got into the man's car and drove away, police said. The man was treated and released from the hospital.
Within 40 minutes of leaving the train station, Woods went to the Walmart in Lansing and bought three Lady Gaga CDs using the victim's credit card, police said.
Anyone with additional information in the case is asked to call transit police at (219) 398-6000.

What will it take for the Baltimore Orioles, or any other team for that matter, to win it all? The answer to this question can be defined in sabermetrical terms, though I want to speak of it more generically and defer most of the statistics for analysis at another time.
To win short series we know it takes good starting pitching, timely hitting, and shut-down bullpens. But even some of the best teams with rosters brimming with players such as these will sometimes not breeze through to championships.
What is needed is for a majority of players on a team to be performing at the top of, or above, their historic statistical average level of play.
Look at the 2013 Red Sox. It was a nice roster, though certainly it was not one that would have been selected by many to have the season that they put together, culminating in the World Series Championship. But a number of the players had career years, and they cumulatively put together a strong effort toward the end of the season.
This is true when looking back at each of the past four World Series champions, examining the records over their final 20 and 30 games of the regular season …
|Final 20 Games
|Final 30 Games
|2013 Red Sox
|2012 Giants
|2011 Cardinals
|2010 Giants
Can the Baltimore Orioles be a team like this? They actually have been for some time now. Over the past 20 games they are 14-6, and over they have a record of 33-17 over the past 50 games. But the O's are going to need to sustain this pace and not simply limp home with a narrow divisional title.
And are the Orioles a squad with a strong majority of players performing at the top of their historic mid-range performance, or even definitely above average? Let's think it through…
Starting Pitching – It is certainly true that, particularly over the past two months, the starting pitchers have performed above the level of their historic numbers. Chris Tillman is now throwing at a level equal to his best season last year. Miguel Gonzalez, Budd Norris, and Wei-Yin Chen are generally all pitching somewhat above historic norms. Of course, Ubaldo Jimenez is another story altogether, and Kevin Gausman is essentially learning on the job.
Relief Pitching – Without doubt, the bullpen is performing at an extremely high level. Exceptions might be Tommy Hunter and Brian Matusz, though they are not regular liabilities. Brad Brach and T.J. McFarland have given some very effective length and bridged the gap from a weak start on many occasions. And Andrew Miller, Darren O'Day, and Zach Britton are throwing at the very best levels of their respective careers. This bullpen has not been overused, nor will they now be with the addition of arms in the expanded rosters.
Hitting – It is hit and miss (get it?). Yes, way too many misses in several situations. How many Orioles hitters are having career years? Steve Pearce is for sure. Can you name another? Producing in line with historic numbers would be Adam Jones, Nick Markakis, J.J. Hardy, and Delmon Young when he plays. I did not include Nelson Cruz. He had a career first half of the season, and it likely saved the Orioles from early destruction; but he has not hit anywhere near his historic average for many weeks now. Not to dump on Chris Davis, but even a .250 average over the rest of 2014 would make a huge difference in what has been a precipitous drop-off from 2013. And we can put Jonathan Schoop and Caleb Joseph in the same category as Gausman in terms of learning on the job.
Though no one can predict the future with certainty, there is reason to believe that the total pitching component of the Orioles will stay competitive through to the final game. But even while being thankful for the MLB-leading numbers of home runs, it is the offensive production that is going to need to power this team through to the end of any championship aspirations and accomplishments. They're not that far away from it; it would only take a couple guys to catch fire.
The Orioles can do this. There is no other team running away with it. At the All-Star break, the Oakland A's appeared to be head and shoulders above the rest of the American League. Not so anymore. At the trade deadline, the Detroit Tigers looked to have secured an unbeatable rotation, but they are fighting for their wildcard lives right now. Kansas City is the hottest team in the AL.
The Baltimore Orioles have a realistic chance just as much as anyone else in the playoffs picture. But it will take a full-team effort to get hot and stay hot.

Found it! Great wines this one no food at this one that's las cruses. Good selection of all local wines. Vineyard on location.
We toured the winery with a group and had a guide to the wine processing area. A very informative visit. The tasting room is beautiful and full of fun things to with wine. They offered food with some of the wines but that may not be available on a drop in visit.
The owner is fourth generation Italian wine maker from Northern Italy who fell in love, married a local and now makes southern NM's best red wines! All his wines are great but his reds are fantastic. The tasting room is relaxed and a pleadure to be in. Unless you like sweet wines avoid the other winery in Deming.
First time - and definitely will come back-I did not have room for the beautiful looking gelato. We tried the antipasto and the pizza. Pizza with artichokes and prosciutto, with thin, delicate crust. We are local, sorry it took us so long to try Luna Rosa. Although we did not try the lasagna this trip, it looked like a picture...
Paolo d'Andrea is a charming and hospitable winemaker from the Italian region of Friuli-Venezia-Giulia where he learned his craft. We had a wonderful time sampling and buying his excellent wine and talking with him. His wife Sylvia, a native Southwesterner, has opened a marvelous pizzeria in Las Cruces, also called Luna Rossa, which we would also recommend.
The owner Paola is a fourth generation wine maker from Italy who fell in love with a local girl and created New Mexicp's best winery. The Nini is superb. You can't beat his Shiraz for value or flavor. The Tempranio is done more Italian style than Spanish or South American but is extremely good. Then there is his limited Reserve...
This is what it is all about. A true winery that processes only its own grapes... and gold medal after gold medal after gold medal and we are talking International golds! Beautiful tasting room and gift shop. Shouldn't be missed!! And, they will ship to you as well!
Delicious food, good wine, authentic Italian ingredients. Great place for lunch or dinner. Very welcoming atmosphere.
We love to sample local wines when traveling. We had Luna Rossa on our destination list during a drive through New Mexico because it was intriguing that this Italian born winemaker was bottling many Italian varietals, along with others, from all New Mexico grown grapes including many grown right there on his own 32 acre vineyard.
Our only disappointment of...
Coming from Texas and from visiting many wineries in Napa Valley I was expecting to pay for a tasting, but ....to my surprise there was no tasting fee.
The wines are very good too. I bought a few bottles of the Shiraz. They are reasonably priced and can ship to a few states.
Don't expect ultra high quality, but for...

While most pooches snooze on the couch dreaming of what table scraps they'll be able to score that evening, other canines are earning kudos by helping others.
"Our dogs go into hospitals, schools, and rehab centers as well as into homes," says Lori Tatum, who co-owns Tatum Kennels Training & German Shepherd Dogs in Lake Village, Indiana with her daughter Brittney Piske. "Yesterday one of my personal dogs that I trained went to a home as a therapy/assistance dog for a MS patient. This was probably the 5th dog that was homed for that. We have also placed dogs with several paraplegic and quadriplegic people. Two others went to Down's Syndrome children. Saturday one of our pups went to a disabled man who will be bringing her back here for training."
Certain canine breeds can be trained for a myriad of duties — seizure, migraine and diabetes alert, seizure response, balance and mobility difficulties and those diagnosed with autism, diabetes, narcolepsy and psychiatric disorders like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Any dog providing assistance to someone with a disability is considered a service dog, according to the American Disabilities Act. This designation allows the dogs equal access to any place the general public is allow including stores, taxis, restaurants, movie theaters, airplanes and offices.
Rachel Miller worked for a service dog trainer in Georgia before moving back to Northwest Indiana. Her parents gave her four Golden Retriever/Golden Labrador cross puppies, and she started Northern Indiana Service Dogs which provides trained service dogs for people with autism as well as seizure and psychical disorders.
Miracle, a pure bred Yellow Labrador that Miller trained, has been a 24/7 companion for Shiloh Rice of Lebanon for the last two years.
"She can pull my wheelchair, close doors and retrieve items for me," says Rice who has cerebral palsy. "She lies next to me at night and her body helps relax my muscles."
It was devastating for Rice when her previous service dog, Colt, had to retire after nine years because of medical conditions. Miracle, in ways, seems to live up to her name.
"You're with these dogs all the time and it's very hard when you lose them," says Rice.
Miller recently placed another of her trained dogs with a non-verbal 13-year-old young man diagnosed with autism.
"At first he didn't want to have anything to do with Addie," she says. "They met in a park in Plymouth and Addie just sat there, not overwhelming him, just gradually connecting with him. Within a while they were walking together."
Before Addie, the boy's parents hadn't been able to leave the house.
"Now they're able to leave the house because their son has a companion," she says. "Addie is just so aware of what's going on and what's needed."
Tatum, who didn't have a pet when she was a child, says she's overcompensated, owning her kennel for the last 35 years. Using European German Shepherds, she trains them according to their personalities and capabilities to service people with a wide arrangement of physical needs.
"Paraplegics, Quads and MS patients require a dog that can is strong and sturdy," says Tatum who eschews American German Shepherds as being unstable, aloof and not nearly as strong. A well bred, stable, clear headed dog is what it takes. "We're very careful and selective with our breeding to make sure they're from the finest breeding in Europe. Only dogs that are Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) certified working titled and showing correct conformation and temperament are suitable for our breeding program."
When someone requests a service dog either for themselves or for someone else, Tatum conducts an assessment ensuring a match between what dogs are capable of doing as well as what the dogs can do for them.
"Too many times when something happens to someone, they're in an accident or get M.S., they think 'Oh, I'm too ill or impaired to handle a dog,'" says Tatum. "But the proper dog can do so much, including turn on lights and get the phone, that they really are such a big help and make life easier."
Miller's dogs come from Golden Journey Retrievers in LaPorte. Training for such activities as opening and closing doors, retrieving dropped objects, carrying medicine in a pack, pulling wheelchairs and assisting with balance can take up to 18 months.
"They have the workforce and seriousness of Labs and gentleness like Goldens," she says. "They say that before you seize, you put out a chemical smell," says Miller, mentioning that they don't guarantee that their dogs will be able to alert their owners before seizure. "Seizure dogs also are extremely aware of what their owners need."
Service dogs are there no matter what says Rice.
"Miracle not only knows her commands, she seems to understand me intuitively," she says. "She knows when I'm having a bad day and that she has to be really, really there for me."

Remember →
'Pag nagmahal ka, pumunta ka dun sa mabuti, hindi sa mabait lang. Piliin mo yung yayakapin ka kahit 'di ka pa naliligo, yung hahalikan ka kahit bagong gising ka. Piliin mo yung magpapaluha sa'yo sa kakatawa, hindi yung iiyakan mo para ika'y mapatawad. Piliin mo yung makakasama mo sa bawat araw ng buhay mo, hindi yung puro gabi lang. Mahalin mo yung hahawakan yung kamay mo sa harap ng buong mundo at higit sa lahat, piliin mo yung kailangan ka dahil mahal ka niya, hindi yung mahal ka kasi may kailangan siya.
Masakit kapag may lumalandi sa mahal mo.
Pero mas masakit yung lumalandi rin yung mahal mo sa lumalandi sa kanya.

This somehow gives me hope.
The saddest thing I have ever heard:
I (sabino) just read a comment from a 2004 article by the New York Times about the loneliest whale in the world. Scientists have been tracking her since 1992 and they discovered the problem:
She isn't like any other baleen whale. Unlike all other whales, she doesn't have friends. She doesn't have a family. She doesn't belong to any tribe, pack or gang. She doesn't have a lover. She never had one. Her songs come in groups of two to six calls, lasting for five to six seconds each. But her voice is unlike any other baleen whale. It is unique—while the rest of her kind communicate between 12 and 25hz, she sings at 51.75hz. You see, that's precisely the problem. No other whales can hear her. Every one of her desperate calls to communicate remains unanswered. Each cry ignored. And, with every lonely song, she becomes sadder and more frustrated, her notes going deeper in despair as the years go by.

I hate the feeling when you plan things out ahead of time and end up doing something else.
It is very sad for two people to fight over something that was caused by wrong acquisition of other's thoughts and ideas. The lesson to be learned here is that we should all think before we act and react to something. Make sure that we have a good grasp of the situation and be sure of the thoughts and ideas that others relay upon you. You may not know it that that person speaks of different than what you understood.

Today's Penn State news covers a multitude of topics. Former wide receiver Allen Robinson, once projected to be a late first -round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, was called a likely third-round pick by ESPN NFL Draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. Robinson's drop is likely linked to his poor showing of speed at the NFL Combine in February. In other Penn State draft news, DaQuan Jones is profiled. Elsewhere, a new statue honoring former coach Joe Paterno is planned for downtown State College, defensive line coach Sean Spencer wants his player to be in attack mode and Penn State's 2013 season-finale victory at Wisconsin is revisited.

Now, if we can combine the new Scanadu with this innovation, we'd be cookin'!!!
Phlebotomy. Even the word sounds archaic—and that's nothing compared to the slow, expensive, and inefficient reality of drawing blood and having it tested. As a college sophomore, Elizabeth Holmes envisioned a way to reinvent old-fashioned phlebotomy and, in the process, usher in an era of comprehensive superfast diagnosis and preventive medicine.
