Source: Browns close to naming Kelly new head coach
CLEVELAND — Chip Kelly is close to taking his fast-paced offense to the NFL.
A person familiar with the negotiations says the Cleveland Browns are nearing a deal with Oregon's offensive mastermind to be their next coach.
The Browns interviewed Kelly on Friday, and the Ducks coach was supposed to meet with Philadelphia in Arizona. However, a person familiar with the interviews says the Eagles are "heading in another direction" because Kelly is nearing a deal with Cleveland.
That person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team isn't discussing its negotiations publicly, said the Eagles planned to interview several other candidates regardless of any conversations with Kelly.
After Oregon's win over Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl on Thursday, the 49-year-old Kelly said he wanted to get the interview process over "quickly."
He turned down an offer from Tampa Bay last year to return for his fourth season at Oregon, where he is 46-7. He has boosted the school's national profile — flashy uniforms helped — with a high-powered offense capable of turning any game into a track meet.
"It's more a fact-finding mission, finding out if it fits or doesn't fit," Kelly said after the Ducks beat No. 7 Kansas State, 35-17. "I've been in one interview in my life for the National Football League, and that was a year ago. I don't really have any preconceived notions about it. I think that's what this deal is all about for me. It's not going to affect us in terms of we're not on the road (recruiting). I'll get an opportunity if people do call, see where they are.
"I want to get it wrapped up quickly and figure out where I'm going to be."
Kelly has been at the top of the Browns' list of candidates since the team fired Pat Shurmur, who went 9-23 in two seasons. Cleveland owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner have been conducting interviews in Arizona all week, searching for the team's sixth coach since 1999.
The Browns, who have only made the playoffs once in 14 seasons, have declined comment on any interviews.
Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton confirmed he interviewed with Cleveland earlier this week. The Browns reportedly have met with former Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt, Syracuse coach Doug Marrone and Penn State's Bill O'Brien, who removed himself from any consideration Thursday night and intends to stay at the school. Kelly doesn't have any NFL coaching experience, but aspects of his up-tempo offense are already being used by some teams. Kelly wouldn't say if he was leaning one way or another following the Ducks' bowl win.
"I said I'll always listen, and that's what I'll do," he said. "I know that people want to talk to me because of our players. The success of our football program has always been about our guys. It's an honor for someone to say they'd want to talk to me about maybe moving on to go coach in the National Football League. But it's because of what those guys do. I'll listen, and we'll see."
Oregon could be facing possible NCAA sanctions for the school's use of recruiting services, but Kelly indicated he isn't running from anything.
"We've cooperated fully with them," he said. "If they want to talk to us again, we'll continue to cooperate fully. I feel confident in the situation."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/2/2013 (1654 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
HARD Rock historian Jeff Nolan has a few words of advice for famous young musicians: "If you've got a few platinum albums and 28 candles on your cake, you made it. Breathe a sigh of relief."
Many of pop music's greatest talents were cut short when they died in the prime time of their life, or even before it, and their legacies are honoured in Hard Rock Cafe's Gone Too Soon exhibit, one of two traveling the country beginning Feb. 14 and going through the fall.
The Music Gives Back: Rock 'n' Roll Philanthropy tour will show off clothing, instruments and other paraphernalia from philanthropic artists such as Shakira, Bono, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton and Queen's Brian May, while Gone Too Soon honours the treasures of Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, TLC's Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, Bob Marley and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
"We wanted to represent the legacy of these artists, as opposed to focusing on anything sordid or ghoulish," Nolan says.
Many of the musicians represented in the exhibit are part of the so-called "27 Club," a group of artists including Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain and most recently Amy Winehouse, all of whom died at the age of 27.
The rock-star lifestyle obviously is what takes down a lot of them, says Nolan, but it didn't take self-abuse or an airplane to kill former Beatle John Lennon or Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, both of whom are featured in the exhibit.
The fact that they were both murdered by gunmen on Dec. 8 exactly 24 years apart -- Lennon in 1980, Abbot in 2004 -- is "freakier than the 27 Club, to be perfectly honest with you," Nolan says.
The historian suspects music fans' fascination with dead musicians has a lot to do with eternal youth.
"Buddy Holly is 22 years old, still. He was 22 when he died. When I was 22, I still had my head up my butt," Nolan says, talking about the rock 'n' roll pioneer and leader of the Crickets who died in a plane crash with 17-year-old Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper in 1959.
"He had an unbelievable impact on culture -- a 22-year-old kid. Let's take him up to 27 and he would have joined the 27 Club. If he would have lived those extra five years, his career then becomes nearly three times as long as it was. What happens?"
Another aspect Nolan finds interesting is that in many cases, these deceased stars didn't live long enough to mess up their career.
"People are harsh on old-school rockers who are still around and still making music, and they're like, 'It ain't like it used to be. He's screwing up his legacy.' Well, yeah, but he's still alive, though," Nolan says.
"You don't know if Jimi Hendrix would have made 10 crappy records. Maybe Hendrix (would be) on American Idol. You've got to make fun of Steven Tyler -- it's like, guess what, he's still around."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/10/2012 (1776 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The smallest crowd since 2010 turned out on a glorious Saturday afternoon at Canad Inns Stadium to watch the Winnipeg Blue Bombers play the Calgary Stampeders.
Bummer for them.
The 25,462 diehards who showed were undoubtedly, if a bit naively, expecting a spirited, disciplined effort from a Winnipeg team that stunned the nation with their Thanksgiving Day win over the Alouettes in Montreal.
But with their playoff lives clinging by a thread and possessing every reason in the football world to rise to this occasion, the Bombers instead rewarded their faithful by shooting themselves in the foot. Eight times.
The fatal bullets were four Joey Elliott second-half interceptions, three fumbles and a turnover on downs. The final result when you protect the ball like that is never in doubt, particularly for a Winnipeg team that is now 1-9 this season when they either tie or lose the turnover battle.
Saturday's final score, 32-21, actually flattered Winnipeg on a day when the Bombers fell behind 16-0 in the first quarter, thanks to a pair of Calgary touchdowns off turnovers. Any designs on mounting a comeback were self-extinguished all afternoon with an almost perverse efficiency.
Four times, Elliott marched the Bombers into the Calgary red zone in the second half. And four times, the quarterback threw interceptions — three to defenders in the Stamps' end zone.
The loss to Calgary dropped Winnipeg's season record to 4-11 and, when combined with an Edmonton win over Saskatchewan on Saturday that improved the Eskimos to 7-8, leaves Winnipeg's playoff hopes clinging by the thinnest of threads — the Bombers must now win all three of their remaining games and Edmonton must lose all three of theirs just for Winnipeg to stay alive.
"I've never been around a team that's turned the ball over (eight) times and won a game," said Bombers head coach Tim Burke. "The two turnovers at the beginning of the game spotted them 14 points, and so we're playing from behind right from the get-go.
"Then the other thing is, I don't know how many interceptions we threw in the red zone — three or four, I can't remember — but we come away with absolutely no points and the margin of victory is out of hand at the end of the game when it should have been close."
With so many turnovers, it was hard to blame Burke if he lost track of the interceptions Elliott threw. The head coach was perhaps not the only one, as even Elliott referred to just three interceptions as he took his personal post-game inventory.
"It's my fault all the way, 110 per cent, when the ball leaves my hand," Elliott said. "It's my job to trust my receivers and trust my reads. I take full responsibility for those three mistakes." He finished the game 22-33, 284 yards, four INTs and 0 TDs.
Actually, it's not all Elliott's fault — not by a long shot. A first-quarter fumble by Bombers punt returner Demond Washington led to a Calgary touchdown before the game was four minutes old. Then immediately after Calgary went up 10-0 on a 25-yard Rene Paredes field goal, Winnipeg running back Chad Simpson put the ball on the ground, leading to another Calgary touchdown with under a minute to play in the opening frame.
The Stamps missed the convert after that second TD, but it was still enough for a 16-0 lead on the scoreboard to end the first quarter — a familiar sight for Bombers fans in a season that has now seen Winnipeg outscored 120-31 in the opening quarter.
Washington's fumble was his eighth of the season (Winnipeg failed to recover five of them) and officially ended his career as a Bombers kick returner. Burke replaced Washington as a kick/punt returner during the game and said afterwards that Washington will never again return a kick of any kind for the Bombers.
Simpson, who atoned for his first-quarter fumble with two touchdown runs in the second quarter and finished the day with 84 yards on 14 carries, said the basics of the sport somehow elude the team.
"This team, we're very talented. We're young, but we're very talented. But I'm not saying that young part for an excuse. It's just we have to learn to take care of the little things and be anal on the details," Simpson said. "The big plays will come, instincts will help you. But we need to focus on our craft a little more and we'll be a team to be reckoned with. I mean, we had (eight) turnovers and look how close the game was. We've been killing ourselves all year."
The Bombers' offence was on the field for just 8:55 in the entire first half, thanks to all the turnovers and some long, sustained Calgary drives. But the Bombers finished the day with more yards than the Stampeders — 425 to 350. Calgary quarterback Kevin Glenn went 21-29, 286 yards and two TDs and the Stamps turned over the ball just once.
Saturday's attendance was the lowest for a Bombers game at Canad Inns Stadium since Nov. 5, 2010, when just 22,056 turned out to watch the final game of a 4-14 season. The Bombers have one regular-season home game left this year, on Nov. 3 against the Alouettes.
The Bombers won two of their last three games coming into Saturday and the loss to Calgary means they have now failed to win in consecutive weeks for 27 straight games, going back to August 2011.

Dead Beat Douche Bag-or-(DDB)-term referring to a baby daddy that never pays child support and only see's their kid here-and-there. He has a very low level of intellegence, whatever comes out of there mouth never makes sense... not even to them, but they think that they are brillant! No perspective on anything in life.

None of Batman's capers were anything like these. None of his capes were, either.
With the help of thousands of friends and strangers who turned San Francisco into Gotham for a day, 5-year-old cancer patient Miles Scott was able to fight crime along with disease Friday. Someone even donated a Lamborghini to be used as a Batmobile as Miles raced around town -- taking a break for lunch -- to rescue a damsel in distress, disarm a plastic bomb and rescue the kidnapped mascot of the San Francisco Giants.
At a time of sequester this and shutdown that and Obamacare everything else, the Make-a-Wish Foundation set out to make Scott, who is now in remission, feel special. The foundation wound up renewing everyone else's faith in what's possible.
Including the president's.
Watch the magic unfold via this live feed from an ABC affiliate in San Francisco and on Twitter via @SFWish. And read on for more amazing reactions, including Obama's Vine.
From the above-linked AP story:
Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune
Miles, who lives in Tulelake in far Northern California, didn't know what was in store for him and thought he was in San Francisco just to get a Batman costume so he could dress like his favorite superhero, KGO-TV reported.
He was diagnosed with leukemia when he was 18 months old and ended treatments in June.
His father, Nick Scott, thanked the Greater Bay Area Make-A-Wish Foundation and the estimated 7,000 people who will help make his son's wish come true.
"All the doctors, nurses and all the other parents that have to deal with the same thing we're going through. I hope they get a conclusion to their illnesses like we're getting," Nick Scott told KGO-TV.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo Lions softball team (14-6, 1-0 SSC) opened up conference play on the right foot on Friday evening when they defeated the visiting Barry University Buccaneers (11-6, 01 SSC) by a score of 7-1 from University Stadium.
Senior Megan Still took the mound for the Lions in the win, tossing a 6-inning complete-game while striking out six and allowing just one earned run. The win improved Still's record to 7-1 on the year.
The Barry Buccaneers were the first to put a run on the board, scoring one run in the top of the first inning after a triple from Barry senior Sarah Broeseker scored freshman Megan Copeland. The run would be Barry's only run of the contest.
The Lions answered back quickly, collecting three hits and three runs in the bottom of the first inning. Junior Brittany Ewing led off the inning by sending a short one-out single to right field and using her speed to advance to second base. After a groundout to third base on the next play, Ewing advanced to third, and a hit-by-pitch for Chelsey Steedley put two runners on the bases. Senior Rachelle Gremo was the first to collect an RBI on the night, sending a single to right field to score Ewing and advance Steedley to second. After a successful double steal effort, the Lions had two runners in scoring position, just in time for sophomore Kelsey LaNeave to single up the middle and score both Steedley and Gremo for the last runs of the inning.
With Barry unable to get anything going on the offensive side of things, Saint Leo scored one run in both the third and fourth innings to increase the run margin. In the bottom of the third, Rachelle Gremo sent a pitch screaming to the left-centerfield fence and slid into third base for a triple. The next batter, Kelsey LaNeave, was able to capitalize on the then-tired Barry pitcher, Alexis Yohe, and rip a single to right field and score Gremo for the fourth run of the game. With a new Barry pitcher in the bottom of the fourth inning in the form of Taylor Sabol, the Lions were able to adjust their bats and score yet another run on the Barry defense. Sophomore McKenzie Burns led the charge for Saint Leo, singling to the pitcher with two outs on the board. After stealing two bases, Burns was sent home by an outfield single from Ewing, which put the Lions ahead, 5-1.
The Lions collected two more runs in the bottom of the fifth inning, thanks to fundamental offensive efforts. With no outs, Steedley singled to the third baseman, and swiftly stole second base to put herself in scoring position. Two quick outs later, junior Kylee Hardesty laid down a bunt for an infield single that allowed Steedley to advance to third. With sophomore Angela Kafalas pinch-running for Hardesty, sophomore Torrie Weindorf sent a single up the middle, scoring both Steedley and Kafalas for the Lions' final runs.
In total, the Lions collected ten hits and nine stolen bases on the night.
The Saint Leo Lions will return to action on Saturday, Mar. 2, when they conclude their opening Sunshine State Conference series against the visiting Barry Buccaneers. First pitch of the doubleheader is set for 1:00 p.m.

Lost in Yonkers
Set in Yonkers in 1942, two boys, aged 13 and 16, must spend one year with their austere and demanding grandmother. While the war rages in Europe, Jay and Arty learn the ropes from Uncle Louis and assorted relatives, all peculiar characters. Neil Simon's Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning play is performed here by a full cast, featuring Barbara Bain, Dan Castellaneta, and more.
Anna in the Tropics
This poignant and poetic 2003 Pulitzer Prize-winning play captures 1929 Florida at a time when cigars are still rolled by hand and "lectors" are employed to educate and entertain the workers. The arrival of a new lector is a cause for celebration. But when he reads aloud from Anna Karenina, he unwittingly becomes a catalyst in the lives of his avid listeners, for whom Tolstoy, the tropics, and The American Dream prove a volatile combination.
'Night Mother
This play tells the powerful story of an epileptic woman in her early 40s systematically preparing her own death... and the frantic and touching efforts of her mother to stop her. This searing drama, which won the Pulitzer Prize on Broadway, is guaranteed to keep any listener on the edge of their seat.

"Great Theater – but pay cash not credits"
Although this is not quite as great as Volume 1 of the series, it is still excellent. The writing and the performances are riveting and moving. All three of the plays are excellent, with great characters and situations. One is funny, two are intense. Until recently I had avoided theater in Audible format but they have now become one of my favorite genre. BEWARE – this is TWO credits but is on sale for $7.77 – this is crazy pricing – don't use credits!

Topic: It's now three years since I lost my Mom....
I find I tend to use this date every year as a benchmark of where and how I am feeling.
I spent last night rereading my posts about my Mom and was surprised to realize I don't remember things as clearly as I thought. I guess it's true that time seems to shave off the sharp, hurtful rememberances and leaves you with a more positive and polished version of the truth.
This year has had some surprises. I guess the biggest is my Dad has started dating a wonderful lady in their church. She and her husband were aquaintences of my parents. She lost her husband to cancer about 8 years ago. About 6 months ago I began to worry about my Dad. Everytime I called he was "watching" a movie or tv. He was also adding a few pounds and just seemed very lonely.
Then about 5 months ago he casually mentioned that he invited someone to lunch. He told me he needed to get my opinion on something. Turns out I think he was asking my permission....lol. I told him all I wanted was for him to be happy. I reminded him that I was still the child and he was the parent and he didn't need my permission to do anything! We laughed. I told him I had seen him work through his grief and I knew he was lonely. I knew even if I was with him 24/7 it's not like I could ever be his contemporary.
I have to admit this was so strange and foreign. Mom and Dad were married for 58 years and had dated since they were in the 8th grade. Mom and I had even had the talk where she said she hoped Daddy would find someone after she was gone. (My Mom tended to plan for everything...lol) I rank that as one of the most surreal conversations I ever had with my Mom!
Long story short my Dad is back to the way he was with Mom. Busy, projects to do, trips to take, has lost the 25 lbs. and is laughing!
Faye is a lovely woman and has a busy life herself. She and Dad have the same circle of friends and are in the same Sunday school class. She is surprisingly very much like my Mom in physical appearance, and dress. She has a sense of humor and is very involved in church and family. My sister has had some problems with this I think but I'm surprised that I didn't. My husband asked how I felt and I told him I was surprised but I just wanted my Daddy to be happy and healthy. Daddy told me no one would ever replace my Mom and he could never replace Faye's husband. Her two children have met my Dad and they approve.
So all in all this circle of life continues with assorted surprises and different turns and curves in the road. I still have moments when I can become unhinged....like passing someone wearing my Mom's perfume or something triggers a memory of Mom. I still wish I could just hear her voice.
On the whole I'd say I'm more or less back but then I remember I will never be the old Pam. I think I'm more compassionate and hopefully more empathetic. I guess it's that I now embrace the NEW normal more and more.
As I've said before....the site has been a godsend and the people here have helped me so much. Thank you seems so inadequate but I do thank all of you for being with me!
Hugs to all of you as we continue the journey....
"A prognosis is simply an audit of how truly precious each day is. Live each day to the maximum, celebrate what was, and what is - Don't spend your life looking forward to what will or might be." .... words of wisdom from my beloved son on hearing of his grandmother's CC prognosis.

Cubs homer twice as Arrieta stifles former team
Righty gives up one run in seven innings; Valbuena, Baez go yard
CHICAGO -- Jake Arrieta wasn't a welcoming host to his former Orioles teammates on Friday.
Arrieta gave up four hits, including Nelson Cruz's 34th home run, over seven innings, and Javier Baez and Luis Valbuena each hit a solo home run to lift the Cubs to a 4-1 Interleague victory over the Orioles, who brought plenty of their orange-clad fans to Wrigley Field.
The Orioles' fifth-round pick in 2007, Arrieta was dealt to the Cubs along with Pedro Strop for Scott Feldman and Steve Clevenger in July 2013. Baltimore knew how good Arrieta was. After all, he was their Opening Day starter in 2012.
"He [was consistent] for periods for us," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "We knew. He's in a good spot, and we got quality in return. That's the way things work out. We wish him well. [We] wish we would have had some of those balls fall in today, we might have had a different story."
Arrieta was looking forward to facing his former team, which leads the American League East, and the right-hander retired the first 13 batters he faced -- getting some nice glove work from second baseman Logan Watkins -- and he did not serve up a hit until Chris Davis singled with one out in the fifth.
"There was a little more to it, being your former team," Arrieta said. "After the first inning, it was just business as usual. It was nice to face those guys. It's good to see a lot of them again -- it's been a while."
After the first inning, Arrieta said it was just another start. He had dominated the Mets with his curve in his last outing, but didn't have that this time.
"I missed a lot around the zone and not in the zone, which was good," he said. "That was a point of emphasis for me."
Arrieta and the Orioles players exchanged casual nods, and he had a chance to chat in the third inning when he singled. Adam Jones did a little trash talking in the seventh after hitting a comebacker to Arrieta. On Saturday, Arrieta will be able to catch up.
"It's part of my development," he said. "Those years were and still are very important to me for a lot of reasons. Regardless of how certain situations went negatively or positively, they all impacted my career in a certain way. I'm thankful for those times over there, those years there, and I'll continue to use them for future reference, to reach back in the memory bank and think about certain times and certain situations that I had there, that I have now, and how I react and handle those. I think about it a lot."
He didn't have to deal with much on Friday. Valbuena hit his 12th home run with one out in the fourth, and one out later, Ryan Sweeney doubled and scored on Watkins' single. Baez made it 3-0 when he gave the ballhawks on Waveland Avenue behind the left-field bleachers a souvenir, belting his sixth home run with two outs in the fifth.
Baez did some early work with hitting coach Bill Mueller Friday that paid off.
"[Thursday], the guy threw me all fastballs and I couldn't hit it because it was up in the zone," said Baez, who struck out four times against the Giants Thursday. "I asked [Mueller] to get the machine and get the fastball going today."
"You want to see every one of that kid's at-bats," Arrieta said of Baez. "It's starting to get to the point, even though it's so early in his career, that nothing surprises me with what he does at the plate. Everyone knows when he connects with that swing, he'll hit it a long way. I don't know if many of his home runs will touch the seats here, honestly."
Cruz connected with one out in the seventh, lofting a changeup from Arrieta to left. But the Cubs added a run in their half when pinch-hitter Chris Valaika doubled and scored two batters later on Arismendy Alcantara's infield single.
The Orioles' biggest threat came with two outs in the fifth. They had runners at first and second when Caleb Joseph singled to right. Davis tried to score from second, but he was thrown out at home on a perfect strike from Sweeney to catcher John Baker.
Cruz has seen Arrieta. He was impressed by the right-hander.
"I think he looked more mature," Cruz said. "He was commanding all his pitches and he didn't make many mistakes."
This is the third series between the Cubs and Orioles, and the second at Wrigley Field. Baltimore took two of three in Chicago on June 24-26, 2008, after the Cubs went 2-1 at Camden Yards in June 2003. Arrieta saw all the orange in the stands and heard the "Let's go O's" chants.
"I like that kind of stuff," Arrieta said. "Fans are passionate about their team, and [the Orioles are] in a great place now, eight or so games up in the [American League] East. Their fans have a lot to be happy about. It's good they're getting that support."
Of course, Arrieta was wearing a T-shirt with the Chicago skyline on it.

Caramel Almond Chocolate Cupcakes
I can't believe Cupcake Week is half way over already! Did you know that yesterday was National Cupcake Day? Be sure to check out the debate over at i[heart]cuppycakes and enter in her cupcake giveaway too!
Today I bring you a cupcake that is amazing. Simply amazing. The filling in these guys is to die for. I was eating it with a spoon. It's also awesome over ice cream. You really can't go wrong with homemade dulce de leche, so it's not surprising. However, homemade dulce de leche does take a while to make (3 hours simmering in a pot), so be prepared to put some time into these cupcakes. It's well worth the effort. Hubby agreed these are one of the best cupcakes I've ever made
Next time I make these, I might leave the chocolate out of the caramel ganache. As you can see, it looks more chocolatey and I would have prefered to have it be caramel. It has a great caramel flavor, but I would have liked the color contrast of having a caramel sauce.
I followed the recipes from Fields of Cake exactly, so I'm not going to repost them here. Definitely go check out her post and amazing pictures!
Don't forget to enter in my 2nd blogiversary giveaway by midnight on August 28th!
Check out my week of cupcakes here.
6 Responses to "Caramel Almond Chocolate Cupcakes"
This is a really interesting recipe. I haven't seen dulce de leche combined with chocolate very often. I can see where you wanted to have the color contrast with the ganache, but I personally think it looks great as it is.
They look amazing! If you don't want to wait 3 hours for dulce de leche you can use the microwave method found at http://www.cookingforengineers.com/recipe/255/Dulce-de-Leche.
I'm not a fan of chocolate but they are a pretty cupcake and I DO like caramel and dulce de leche!
That looks decadent! Choc-a-holics rejoice =D
Your cupcakes are some of the cutest I have seen!
Those look mouthwatering good!

What would you say if I told you the Mets had a player who premiered at 23, put up an OPS just under .800, and followed it with two straight seasons of over .900 OPS, heading into his age 26 season? You'd be pretty excited about him, right?
Well, consider that Ike Davis fulfills that description, with a couple of major caveats.
Davis posted a .791 OPS in 2010, his rookie year. He jumped it to .925 in 2011. And since June 9, he's at .277/.344/.578, good for a .922 OPS over 291 plate appearances. Full speed ahead, right?
Obviously, not exactly. His .925 OPS in 2011 came in just 36 games; he then missed the rest of the seasons with complications from getting stepped on by David Wright. And that .922 OPS in 2012 came after 201 plate appearances to start the season at a .507 OPS. Those appearances count, too.
But in trying to determine exactly who Ike Davis is heading into 2013, it is worth thinking beyond just an accumulation of his numbers. Consider that the 200 plate appearances from April through June 2012 came after Davis missed almost an entire year, plus saw him dealing with a diagnosis, if not effects from, Valley Fever as well.
If this seems like the typical set of surroundings Davis will face, then expecting more dips like his April-June looks reasonable. If not, then it is worh pointing out that he's hit, and hit extremely well, in all other circumstances during his tenure as a Met, and can be expected to get even better as he enters his age-26 season.
Just as David Wright's torrid first half has masked his second half drop quite a bit, Davis' pedestrian 2012 totals have people overlooking just how good he's been for three months. But if Davis can have a normal offseason, and keep up this pace starting next April, the other Met bat of note in 2012 won't remain in the shadows for very long.

Colds are caused by viruses; in fact, there are over 200 different viruses that cause colds. There are no medications to cure colds. Antibiotics are only effective against bacteria, not viruses. However, there are a variety of products that may reduce cold symptoms. Many of these can be bought without a prescription. The main types of over-the-counter (OTC) cold medications are:
These medications may help reduce your symptoms. However, see your doctor if you have any of the following:
People with moderate to severe pulmonary or cardiac disease, such as asthma , chronic bronchitis , emphysema , angina , and hypertension , should consult with their doctor early in the course of their symptoms and before taking any medication. Children should also be seen earlier in the course of their illness, especially if they are very young.
Analgesics relieve aches and pains and reduce fever. The main types include:
Aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDS, such as ibuprofen, and naproxen, slow the formation of certain prostaglandins. These are substances in the body that are involved in various processes including pain and body temperature. Acetaminophen probably works in a similar way, but it lacks the anti-inflammatory effects of NSAIDS.
Take analgesics with food and a glass of water to decrease the chance of stomach upset. Delayed-release and extended-release tablets have a special coating that makes them easier on the stomach.
Accidental Overdosage —Many OTC medications as well as prescription pain medications contain acetaminophen. Although acetaminophen is quite safe when used as directed, it can cause liver damage when taken in excess. Make sure to read the labels and do not double up on acetaminophen.
Children and Teens— Aspirin is not recommended for children and teens with a current or recent viral infection. Check with your doctor before giving aspirin to a child or teen. Children can be given acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
Pregnancy— Acetaminophen is usually considered the safest pain and fever reducer to use during pregnancy. Do not take aspirin during pregnancy unless your doctor has ordered it.
Alcohol— If you will be taking more than an occasional one or two doses of acetaminophen, do not drink alcohol. Doing so may increase the chance of liver damage, especially if you drink large amounts of alcoholic beverages regularly, if you take more acetaminophen than is recommended on the package label, or if you take it regularly for a long time.
Certain Conditions— If you have any of the following conditions, check with your doctor before taking an analgesic:
Antitussive medications, also called cough suppressants, are used to control coughing; however, there is limited evidence that they work. The main nonprescription antitussive is dextromethorphan.
Dextromethorphan is thought to relieve cough by acting directly on the cough center in the brain to depress the cough reflex.
Antitussives should not be used for persistent or chronic cough that occurs with smoking, asthma, chronic bronchitis, or emphysema, or for cough accompanied by excessive mucus or phlegm.
Follow the dosage instructions on the product label or given by your doctor closely. In some cases, dextromethorphan can be habit forming.
If you have any of the following conditions, check with your doctor before taking an antitussive:
Expectorants are used to clear phlegm from the lungs. Phlegm is an abnormal production of mucus. However, there is limited evidence that they work. The main non-prescription expectorant is guaifenesin.
Guaifenesin is thought to increase respiratory tract fluid, which should reduce the thickness of phlegm in the lungs and enable it to be cleared more easily.
Drink plenty of water while taking guaifenesin to help loosen phlegm in the lungs.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your doctor before taking an oral decongestant.
These drugs help to reduce congestion. A common decongestant that is available over the counter is pseudoephedrine.
Oral and nasal decongestants treat cold symptoms by narrowing the blood vessels in the body, including the nasal passages. Oral decongestants are taken by mouth. Nasal decongestants are applied directly to the nose.
Follow the dosage instructions on the product label or given by your doctor closely.
If you have any of the following conditions, check with your doctor before taking an oral decongestant:
Nasal decongestants may result in addiction if used more than 3-4 days.
To avoid sleeping difficulties, take the last dose of decongestant several hours before bedtime.
With every medication, there are important precautions to consider. These include allergies, interactions with other drugs and medical conditions, and safety during pregnancy, lactation, and other stages of life.

History Pin first caught my eye when Richard Byrne highlighted it on his website Free Technology for Teachers. Now I know I'm an English teacher and that I should be able to articulate, in great detail, the coolness of History Pin.
Unfortunately, I can't. It's just cool. Exploring History Pin requires little more than the ability to get on the website. The concept is simple really. Anyone with a Gmail account can pin photos to a specific geographic location. With each pinned photo is the opportunity to add a "story" on the photo itself. With modern Google street view as the backdrop, photos appear in the spot where they were originally taken. The effect is remarkable. It makes a much better argument than I ever could about history, the human experience and the passage of time. History Pin's overview video is a good place to start with your students when beginning any project involving the website.
What's particularly intriguing is the idea, in their words, of creating a digital history of the world. Easy to navigate, the website offers several different classroom uses. Because students can search their own streets and towns, it is an interesting way to teach about the art of stories via image. History Pin offers a variety of resources for getting started. Check out their resources so that you can easily familiarize yourself with the ins and outs of the website.
1. Use it as a means to explore time periods that accompany literary units. Now that the National Archives and the Smithsonian have partnered with History Pin there many options for how this can be accomplished. Listed below are some collections/tours that can be easily implemented in your classroom. Have students annotate the images and use them to create arguments about literature's place within the society it represents as well as today.
- If you teach The Red Badge of Courage use the National Archives Collection: Matthew Brady Civil War Photographs
- If you teach Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream Speech" use the National Archives tour entitled The March on Washington.
- If you teach Susan B. Anthony's "On Women's Right to Vote" or Elizabeth Cady Stanton's "Seneca Falls' Address" use The National Archives collection on Women's Suffrage.
2. Use History Pin as a means for students to begin constructing their own narratives or college essays.
- Since students struggle with creating their own authorial voice, ask that they begin by creating a History Pin tour of their own focused on one particular theme (i.e. the role of family, nostalgia, education, disappointments, triumphs). Each photo should reflect the theme that they are creating.
- When they create the accompanying "stories" for each photo have them treat each as if they are the opening paragraph of their college essay or personal narrative. They should not just be a basic summary of the photo itself. Use our previous post about personal narratives to offer some professional models before you begin.

By Andrew Pentis / Special to MLB.com | July 5, 2012 6:00 AM ET
"It's like, 'OK, let's split hairs. Who do you have ahead and who do you have at the bottom?' As far as those three guys, I'm like, 'Are you kidding me? It's 1, 1A and 1B. They're all that good.'
"These are high-ceiling kids," Horsman added, for our benefit. "In watching them develop, we're looking at front-of-the-rotation type of guys -- 1, 2 and 3 starters in the big leagues -- and they're 19, 20, so it's awfully exciting."
Here is how the three became one: Two weeks after the Blue Jays drafted the 6-foot-4 Sanchez (34th overall, out of a California high school) and the 6-foot-5 Syndergaard (38th overall, out of a Texas high school), both signed their first pro contract. The 6-foot-3 Nicolino (the 80th overall draftee out of a Florida high school) wasn't yet to be convinced to begin his pro career. So he went out to Toronto's training complex and met Sanchez, with whom he shares representation.
"We've kind of been like brothers ever since," said Nicolino, 20, who rooms with Sanchez, 20. "And Noah was just this big dude -- he was so big, I didn't know he was that young. He's like another brother too. As big as they are, I'm supposed to be the older brother 'cause I'm the oldest, so it's kind of funny."
Syndergaard, 19, and Sanchez each pitched in the Gulf Coast League together in 2010, and all three spent at least part of 2011 at Short-Season Vancouver before reuniting with the Class A Lugnuts. Their pitching lines add to the familial feel.
"We're great friends, we all have the same goal and that's to get to the big leagues," Syndergaard said, "and we're all using the same plan to get there."
|53 2/3
The plan was to start slow. Nicolino and Sanchez didn't exceed three innings once in any of their first five starts, and this wasn't because they weren't pitching well enough to advance deeper into the game. In their collective debut on April 9, the Lugnuts box score shows that the pair combined to strike out nine over six one-hit innings. (Sanchez earned the win because he relieved Nicolino, though they would reverse roles in future games.) Syndergaard, meanwhile, didn't pitch into the fourth inning once until outing No. 8, at which point he was 2-0 with a 1.74 ERA and 28 strikeouts in 20 2/3 frames.
"The piggybacking was to get their feet wet, not to put too much pressure on 'em and keep 'em under control," Horsman said. "They're all young kids. You want them to get off to a good start and have success, and they did that. It's just part of the development phase. They all wanted to pitch more than that, but they also understood why. It didn't deter them."
Piggbacking -- or alternating pitchers between the rotation and the bullpen so as to maximize the entire staff while minimizing its workload -- is nothing new. In fact, Horsman recalled (not fondly, by the way) participating in the tag-teaming strategy not long after he signed with Toronto as an amateur free agent hurler in 1984. Still, it's an important tool organizations employ to cautiously grow lower-level prospects (or mix in a Major Leaguer on rehab assignment), whether they like it or not.
"At first, it was kind of weird. I had never heard of the piggybacking thing until I got into pro ball," Nicolino said. "When you're a starter, it's a lot different coming out of the bullpen. You don't want to be the guy that comes in and ruins the rest of a game. When me and Sanchez were pitching, I didn't want to come into his game and blow his lead."
"It isn't ideal coming out of the bullpen being labeled as a starter for your career," admitted even the unflappable Sanchez, who has compiled 1.17 ERA in relief and a 0.23 mark in the rotation.
For Syndergaard, the one among the three who has cracked MLB.com's Top 100, pitching out the 'pen has been miserable. A year after recording a 1.54 ERA in five relief appearances for Rookie-level Bluefield, the right-hander has registered a 7.29 mark in seven such games at Lansing. What has he learned from the experience this season?
"How to deal with adversity, I guess," he said.
Who Throws The Pitch Best, According to...
|Coach Horsman
|"Sanchez has more life on it, where Noah's is true."
|Breaking ball
|"Sanchez has it, but 'Nic' has the best command."
|"'Nic' has the best command, but it's 1A, 1B, 1C."
GMs, farm directors, coordinators and coaches are not huddling in rooms trying to figure out how to impede the path of their brightest young players. It's not even about pushing a first-year starting-pitching project outside of his comfort zone to see how he will react. No, upper management, scouts and coaches want to put the likes of Nicolino, Syndergaard and Sanchez in the best possible position to succeed -- not now, but in the future.
So these blossoming Blue Jays are not alone when it comes to pitch counts, innings counts or coming out of the 'pen.
Take another American League East organization as an example. Even the Baltimore Orioles' prize prospect Dylan Bundy, who didn't allow an earned run in 30 Class A innings before moving on up, has been limited to five or fewer frames per game. The O's have made clear that no matter where Bundy pitches the rest of 2012 -- even if it's in Baltimore -- he won't clear the 130-inning plateau.
"It doesn't sound to me that what they're doing to Bundy they're doing to everybody else," one National League pitching coordinator-turned-scout said. "They're doing specific to that guy's needs, and that's where you get the results.
"I don't think it should be an organizational policy that every single guy that comes in their first summer is piggybacking. I used to use it in individual situations to teach things to [prospects], as far being efficient with pitches. When you're talking [about] your top prospects and top Draft picks, if you feel as if they have to be somewhat guarded, I would rather just guard them in an individual way as one of the five starters."
Unless, our scout said, a given club is as pitching-rich as Lansing: Behind its aforementioned trio, are lesser prospects but equal pitchers Anthony DeSclafani (2.93 ERA in 61 1/3 innings), David Rollins (2.97 in 72 2/3) and, before their mid-June promotions to Class A Advanced Dunedin, Marcus Walden (3.11 in 66 2/3) and Jesse Hernandez (2.29 in 78 2/3).
This is where piggybacking puts more of a focus on innings accrued, in the age of the "magic 100-pitch count" that pervades modern baseball. "If you throw a guy out for five innings a start, some of those starts he may throw 45 pitches, and some of them he might throw 80 pitches," our scout said. "So as you're monitoring that, there are built-in highs and lows as far as workload and recuperation. So that works more efficiently than fake pitch counts."
If Nicolino, Syndergaard and Sanchez stay healthy and on turn the remainder of the season, they could each make as many as 11 or 12 more starts at five innings a piece. This is because, as of late last month, the Lugnuts have moved to a traditional five-man rotation. Each man has his game. Nowhere to shed blame. No more piggybacking.
"Now that I have my own start every five days," Syndergaard says with some relief, "I know what I'm doing. I known when to warm up, when to stretch, what lifts I am doing that day, how far to throw -- everything set, it repeats."
As a result, each member of the Little But Tall Three could double his 2010 single-season career-high in innings pitched: Nicolino from 61 to as many as 122, Syndergaard from 59 to 114 and Sanchez from 54 1/3 to 117.
So Toronto's brass isn't conditioning three of its best pitching prospects to go three innings, nor four, not even five. Sometime in 2013, all three could be going six and seven frames at a time alongside one another at Dunedin or perhaps Double-A New Hampshire. And by 2014 or '15, who knows?
"That would be fun if we got to experience the Minor Leagues with each other and hopefully break the rotation at the same year at the same time. It pushes us so much more," Sanchez said. "I know, with me and Nicolino, when he would go out there and put up a zero, it would make me want to do that so much more because I didn't want to be the guy that broke the shield. We've been feeding off each other since day one, and it's only making us better."
A draftee's decision ... made
Remember California prep prospect Rio Ruiz? The subject of this column's June 7 edition, which examined his unique situation before and after last month's big day, has decided to skip college and sign with the Astros. Houston, which selected the first-round talent in the third round due to concerns over Ruiz's health, college commitment and financial demands, agreed with the 18-year-old third baseman on a $1.85 million bonus -- five times the prescribed slot amount. Cleared to play ball, Ruiz toured and took BP at Minute Maid Park on June 25. He will join fellow top picks Carlos Correa and Lance McCullers Jr. in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League.
Prospect Up
With his speedy rise through the Minors entering 2012, No. 60 prospect Jedd Gyorko was looking like a solid big league regular. After 45 games at Triple-A Tucson -- in which he's racked up 27 extra-base hits and 42 RBIs -- it's time to wonder how good Gyorko can actually be. His defense will never be much more than average and, once he gets there, Petco Park will limit his offensive firepower. But right now he's more than keeping pace with another National League West third-base prospect, and we know how highly regarded No. 17 Nolan Arenado is around the game.
Prospect Down
No. 64 prospect Brad Peacock is either just another top pitching prospect who's been swallowed whole and spit out by the Pacific Coast League (read: Miller, Shelby and Peralta, Wily), or his performances have been so bad it wouldn't matter if he had been pitching in Class A. After Wednesday's effort -- a fourth straight loss and a fifth consecutive start allowing five or more runs -- the Nats-turned-A's right-hander has run his ERA up to 7.00 in 17 overall games for the Sacramento River Cats. And it's not even that he's lost control (at this point, that's looking like a more favorable alternative). The 24-year-old Peacock is just straight getting hit around: Opponents are batting .310 against him -- this, after his competitors' average was all the way down at .188 in 2011. Can that disparity really be blamed on the PCL? The answer here is, No.

sergeant1975 - Saturday, July 13, 2013 - linkI appreciate the info on the replacement back cover the allows Qi inductive charging, but there is a much cheaper way to achieve wireless charging. I have had a qi sticker that fits under the factory back cover and adds no bulk. It cost like $25 bucks and I can still use all my covers. If you buy the new larger back cover your cases no longer fit. There are several different manufacturers making these on Amazon. Reply
BugblatterIII - Sunday, July 14, 2013 - linkI use one of those on my S3; got both the sticker and the pad separately on ebay.
Works nicely under the original cover; it makes the back bulge very slightly but doesn't cause a problem with my cover.
The phone gets very warm on the pad though; not so keen on that and makes me wonder about wasted energy. I'd be interested to see the energy efficiency compared to wired charging. Reply
noeldillabough - Sunday, July 14, 2013 - linkMe too! Does it use substantially more power to charge your device? After a year is it noticeable on cost? Does the pad use power when not charging? All probably marginal but just in case... Reply
Łukasz Markiewicz - Sunday, July 14, 2013 - linkCurious about this.
Since Brian hasn't mentioned this in the review, I'm guessing the GS4 does not heat up noticeably with the qi kit. Reply
DanNeely - Monday, July 15, 2013 - linkThe fact that it takes 1/3rd longer to charge despite the same amount of power going into the charger implies that the wireless charger is only 75% as efficient as the wired one. For a full daily charge at typical US energy prices the extra power will cost significantly less than $1/year. (10c/kwk is roughly equivalent to $1/wattyear. And 10W of power for one hour a day is ~.4W average load; for ~40c/year). Reply
Waylo - Monday, July 15, 2013 - linkThere are actually several cases that will still fit, mostly of the TPU variety. The Diztronic TPU case as well as the Spigen Neo Hybrid do. They may be 'stretched' a bit, but they serve their purposes still. Reply
shanesaccount - Tuesday, July 16, 2013 - link
What was the URL for the sticker that you got on Amazon?
Did it make the regular cover "bulge" slightly like other reviews I've seen of the kind you're talking about?
Thanks! Reply
feihu989 - Sunday, November 03, 2013 - linkThe more economic way would be a card that insert into the phone and put between the case and battery, here is where we could get with both transmitter pad and receiver on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DRB2ENK Reply
Totally_Rad - Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - linkYou can't use nfc with the sticker, wiseass! Reply
snajk138 - Sunday, July 14, 2013 - linkFor me the charging time isn't that important. I charge at night so wether it takes two or six hours doesn't matter cause I'm asleep in my bed anyway. What does matter is how much juice I can get in a few minutes when the battery is almost dead Reply
Lonyo - Sunday, July 14, 2013 - linkYeah, something like a 0-80% charge time would be useful as well as 0-100%. In many devices, the final part takes longest. Reply
kkwst2 - Sunday, July 14, 2013 - linkI guess. But I just have a hard time getting excited about setting the device on a pad rather than plugging it in. I have no trouble plugging it in. For me it is sort of a solution looking for a problem. I guess if the problem is you really hate plugging in your phone, it is a pretty good solution. Reply
abrowne1993 - Tuesday, July 16, 2013 - linkNot to sound rude, but have you ever used a device with wireless charging for an extended period of time? It's only a minor convenience but once you're used to just setting the phone down to charge it you won't want to go back to plugging it in. I have my charging plate at my desk where I would set my phone down, anyway, so I basically never have to think about charging my phone anymore. It feels automatic. Reply
lilmoe - Sunday, July 14, 2013 - linkYou know, a LOT of numbers on your charts are simply not true. Not just this particular chart, but I also find lots of numbers here and there that are far from being accurate.
My SGS4 charges in little less that 1:30 with the Samsung charger, never did I see one that took around 3 hours to charge... Reply
dsumanik - Monday, July 15, 2013 - linkThe reporting around here, particularly from anand, is becoming more and more biased and innacurate
for instance, 3 MBA reviews in 3 weeks on a device absolutely unchanged from last year?
Apple did no innovation for the air in 2013... this years air is actually slower in many cases and it was all samsung and intel doing the upgrades, apple slapped it in the same package and anand is writing articles recommending to purchase the device.
At some point, you just need to ask yourself how much you are willing to tolerate.
I have an iphone 5 and SGS4 and i just timed it, the charge from zero to full was 1:46 for sgs4 and iphone 5 was 2:04 (stopped at 99%)
wireless is cool though, wheres my idesk? Reply
AnonReader - Monday, July 15, 2013 - linkWhy is it that you need to bring up your perceived lack of Apple criticism on AnandTech in articles unrelated to Apple? It's getting quite tiring. Reply
Margalus - Tuesday, July 16, 2013 - linkOr we could say your numbers are not true at all and are far from accurate... I have never seen one charge as fast as you say. If my sg s4 is almost dead it takes 3 hours for a full charge. At about 50% it takes about 1.5-2 hours for a full charge. this is using the samsung charger. I have never seen one charge as fast as you say.. Reply
JNo - Sunday, July 14, 2013 - linkWhat's insane is that, here in the UK, Samsung wireless qi charging will probably become more prevalent than Nexus 4 wireless qi charging even though the Nexus 4 has it built in! Honestly, the wireless charging was a big reason I got the Nexus 4 almost a year ago and almost a year later, one of the big features is still missing. Just how hard can it be to implement and sell a single-use, single-function wireless charger for a phone that is already built and sold to standard specs?!! Pathetic (yeah I know it's available in the US but that doesn't help me here in the UK).
This is false advertising to me. And the phone has very poor reception (compared to others same network same sim same area) and is jittery and far from the "buttery smooth" phrase copied from review to review. Disappointed Google.... Reply
JNo - Sunday, July 14, 2013 - linkPS any chance you can test this Samsung qi charger with the Nexus 4 please Brian? Would probably be my best chance of getting wireless charging anyway! :) Reply
Łukasz Markiewicz - Sunday, July 14, 2013 - linkSame here. I'm thinking of getting one for the Nexus 4. In Poland we can only buy Nokia qi chargers (which are expensive) and now this Samsung model which is somewhat affordable (you can buy the pad alone, without the snap-on back).
This uses the qi standard so in theory it should work, but I'm curious how accurate you need to be with this thing. Can you just put the phone more or less in the middle and have it charge reliably?
Also since I don't have a GS4, does the pad come with the 2 amp Samsung charger. I'm guessing it's not included since every GS4 owner already has one. Reply
pati - Tuesday, July 16, 2013 - linkIn Europe there are other wireless charging Solutions like Qinside. Reply
Bob Todd - Sunday, July 14, 2013 - linkThere might be something wrong with your N4 if the UI transitions aren't smooth. Even my old Galaxy Nexus was "buttery smooth" on Jelly Bean, and my Nexus 4 is no different. Are you on 4.2.2? What version was on it when you got it? I did have any issue with the GNex where it was noticeably slower after an update (I think from 4.1.2->4.2.x). Not iOS 4 on an iPhone 3G unusable bad, but it was obvious (e.g. home screen redraw time after exiting the app drawer). I had to do a clean install from the factory image to sort it out. Reply
BugblatterIII - Sunday, July 14, 2013 - linkI'm in the UK and there are Qi charging pads available both on UK retail sites and on ebay. When I was looking for one for my S3 I found comments saying they work with the Nexus 4. Reply
Alexvrb - Sunday, July 14, 2013 - linkThe more phones that make use of the Qi standard, the better. It'd be nice if it was standard rather than an add-on, though. Probably could be made a lot thinner, in that scenario. Reply
uhuznaa - Monday, July 15, 2013 - linkDoes the charging pad draw any power if there is no phone on it? If it draws power leaving it connected all the time comes at a cost (and will just waste power) and having to pull the plug after removing your phone would be more than just absurd...
I would really be interested in some numbers here. Reply
Margalus - Wednesday, July 17, 2013 - linkall chargers draw a little power even when not in use. that is why it is recommended that you unplug them when not charging. Reply
shanesaccount - Tuesday, July 16, 2013 - linkI just ordered the tylt vu. I like the design and the way the phone can be put on at any angle. Will work much better for a charging stand by the bed.

prasanth2u - Friday, July 19, 2013 - linkHi, I just bought a Qi Wireless charging kit and its pretty cool! I bought it from the Bitmore UK site.
They have a wide range of Qi (wireless charging) Devices and the one I bought is universal. You can charge any qi enabled devices on this pad.
Chk it out at: http://www.bitmore.co.uk/products/qi-wireless-char... Reply
dannanners - Thursday, August 01, 2013 - linkThere is a new wireless charger with battery bank too
They provide a thing tag for the S4 instead of a whole cover. I think this is much thinner than the official samsung cover and probably able to use normal phone cover even with the tag is pasted.
http://igg.me/at/WaveJuice/ Reply
SiliconSorcerer - Saturday, August 10, 2013 - linkUntil they make a "cover" that's a "case" it's of little interest.
I want a case on a phone for a little protection, Samsung makes this simple case (which I purchased and is fine), why couldn't they make a charging pad with a case/cover solution. Until this is done it's just not interesting to me and what I can tell most people. Reply
r-dog - Friday, September 06, 2013 - linkDoes it work through a 3rd party protective cover or do you have to remove it Reply
Kyler Dima - Thursday, January 16, 2014 - linkGot of the charging cover and RAVPower Qi wireless charger for $35. I'm happy the two works great together. Saved me some cash. Reply
Horabed - Friday, May 09, 2014 - linkNot sure if I am posting the same thing twice as I had to join after asking this. Can you still plug in to charge if your battery is set for wireless charging or are you now restricted to wireless? Reply


text: Hey guys.... well, I'm going to be buying a Weber Performer grill and I'm very excited about it. Now I had a question for ya regarding doing steaks and whatnot... I hope this doesn't sound silly or stupid... but I was wondering, when you grill a steak, what would be the proper rule regarding closing the lid while grilling? Whenever we do barbecue at my dad's on his gas grill, we put the meat on the grill and close the lid. Is that wrong? When using my new charcoal grill, would that be wrong or right? What are the principles I should be aware of here? If you are using wood chips for flavor from the smoke, you need to close the lid to really capture the essence of the smoke, right?

DeLAND, Fla. - Volusia County deputies pulled a man over for not wearing his seatbelt on Friday, which ended up leading to his arrest for stealing extension cords from Lowe's.
Jeremiah Thomas, 31, has been charged with dealing in stolen property after deputies found 10 extension cords in the bed of the pickup truck with the ends cut off andbolt cutters inside the truck, according to the report.
Deputies said the driver of the car said that he was taking Thomas to the scrap yard with cords he found at a construction site. Deputies said they knew Thomas was lying because the cords still had plastic packaging and the cords were brand new, according to the report.
Thomas was arrested and booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail in Daytona Beach. The driver was released without being arrested after he said he didn't know the cords were stolen.

You can write about any book you want.
This week I'm sharing...
Here's the synopsis:
Bounty hunter Stephanie Pum is still learning the ropes at her cousin Vinnie's bail bond office, so when she sets out on the trail of Kenny Mancuso - a suspiciously weatlhy, working class Trenton boy who has just shot his best friend - the stakes are higher than ever. That Mancuso is distantly related to vice cop Joe Morelli - who is trying to beat Stephani eto the punch - only makes the hunt more thrilling...
Taking pointers from her bounty hunter pal, Ranger, and using her pistol packing Grandma Mazur as a decoy, Stephanie is soon closing in on her mark. But Morelli and his libido are worthy foes. And a more sinister kind of enemy has made his first move... and his next move might be Stephanie's last.
My thoughts:
I love Grandma Mazur. She's hilarious. There's nothing better than a Granny packing a .45 and ready for action like Grandma Mazur. She almost stole the show for me.
And I just can't get enough of the whole character lineup in this series. It's suspenseful and comical all at the same time.

Warning notices issued to Whipps Cross Hospital after shocking instances of poor care and hygiene were uncovered last year have been lifted, but many staff reported being bullied by bosses during the latest inspection.
Assessments in May and June found the Leytonstone hospital to have a "systematic catalogue of failings", including unacceptably poor standards of infection control, safety, equipment availability and support given to staff.
Elderly patients were found to have suffered falls, developed bed sores and were left with food and water out of their reach.
Maternity care at the hospital was also found to be well below acceptable standards.
A report published today by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) after a follow-up inspection reached mixed conclusions about standards at hospitals run by Barts Health, including Whipps Cross.
Unannounced assessments in November showed "many positive findings" including "committed, compassionate and caring" staff, a safe intensive care unit and improvements in the A&E and maternity departments.
Infection control practice was also deemed good.
But many aspects were found to be below basic standards and inspectors said many staff reported bullying by bosses across the trust, which is the largest in England.
Workers are said to have felt inhibited to raise concerns and staff morale was found to be low across all staffing levels.
CQC Chief Inspector of Hospitals Professor Sir Mike Richards said: "Too many members of staff of all levels and across all [Barts Trust] sites came to us to express their concerns about being bullied, and many only agreed to speak to us in confidence."
He added that there is also a disconnect between the board and the ward and called on leadership to be "far more visible" across all parts of the trust.
"Radical improvements" to patient flow and discharge arrangements were said to be needed, as the current system resulted in some patients having to wait to be discharged or being delayed in other parts of the hospital, thus impacting its overall effectiveness.
Equipment, some essential, in some parts of the hospital was still either unavailable, in short supply, inappropriate or not subject to necessary checks.
Barts Health runs four other hospitals in east London.

DETROIT - "andy is ashore but remains potent and dangerous. A Wind Advisory remains in effect for Detroit and most of Southeast Michigan until 5pm. A High Wind Warning is in effect for Sanilac and St. Clair Counties until noon. Both advisories are scheduled to expire at 5pm. Flying debris, including tree branches, and downed power lines remain as possible dangers. All of Tuesday will be chilly, raw, windy and wet with temperatures in the upper 30s and low 40. Choppy lakes and some coastline flooding are possible, too.
Friends, neighbors and relatives in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast will fair much worse. In addition to wicked winds, there will be heavy rain, flooding and snow (in the Appalachians). "Sandy" will linger over Pennsylvania and New York through Halloween before moving over northern New England and Southeast Canada this Friday and Saturday.
Halloween in Detroit will still be windy, wet and chilly. Kids should wear layers under their costumes to stay warm, and parents need to remember to bring umbrellas as they escort them from house to house.
We "Fall Back" this weekend and check the batteries in our smoke detectors.
