The wrapped backstitch is one of my favorite stitches. I'm embarrassed to say that after 30-plus years of stitching, it
has only recently come to my attention! It is indispensable when working on a painted canvas!
It is difficult to stitch a curved line on canvas, simply because of the nature of canvas: it's square! It's the old
round peg/square hole problem! So, as stitchers, we are usually reduced to tent-stitching a broken line that gives the
illusion of a curve, but in reality is usually not very satisfying in the overall scheme of things. The stem/outline
stitch is another alternative, but it can sometimes be difficult to get a smooth arc when using them.
The wrapped backstitch is a no-fail solution.
In the diagram below, the red line represents a curved line that has been painted on the canvas.
The second part of the diagram shows the path of the backstitches along the line, indicated by numbered black arrows.
Notice that the stitches are not necessarily on the line, but are as close to the painted line as possible. Each backstitch
is over two canvas threads, but the stitches are not always vertical, horizontal or diagonal. They are often oblique. In
other words, the stitches angle whichever way is necessary to follow the curved line on the canvas.
And yes, it is a very choppy line!
Figure 1: The backstitched arc
The next steps pull everything together. Once the last backstitch has been made, bring your needle to the
front of the canvas in the same hole in which you began your last backstitch. In the diagram above, that is hole #17. In
the photo below, the needle has come up in hole #17 and is sliding under backstitch #17/18 from the top. Notice that the
needle stays on top of the canvas!
Figure 2: Beginning to wrap the first backstitch
Give the needle a gentle tug and then slide it under stitch #15/16, entering from the same side of the
backstitch as you did on stitch #17/18. (In these photos, the needle slides under each backstitch from the top, which is
the outer side of the curve.) Now your first stitch has been wrapped and you are beginning to wrap your second stitch (15/16).
Figure 3: Wrapping the second backstitch
Bring the needle to the top of stitch #13/14. Slide the needle under #13/14 and tug. Now stitch 15/16 has
been wrapped! Slide the needle under #11/12 and bring it to the top of the next backstitch. Stitch #13/14 has been wrapped.
Continue until you have reached the end of the backstitches. Take the needle to the back of the canvas when you run out of
Figure 4: Wrapping continues
Remember that all of the wrapping is done on the surface of the canvas, and that you must always enter from
the same side of the backstitch, unless your curved line changes direction and starts curving the other way! You will get a
smoother wrap if your needle slides under the backstitch from the outside of the curve, as shown above.
You may be wondering what type of thread is best for this technique. The simple answer is that it depends on what you
are trying to accomplish. Perhaps you are stitching a Christmas angel in a flowing gown. Stitch the darker lines that have
been painted to show the folds of fabric in her gown in a wrapped backstitch. Use a thread that is one or two shades deeper
than the color of the gown. The wrapped backstitch, which is slightly raised, will do a wonderful job of accentuating the
folds of fabric.
If you are stitching a flower with multiple overlapping petals, try wrapping the edges of the petals using the same
thread, but with fewer strands than you are using to stitch the interior of the petal.
Perhaps you are stitching on a piece with a distinctive circular object within the design, such as a moon, a piece of
fruit, or the crook of a candy cane. It is difficult to achieve a smooth, rounded edge as you stitch the interior of the
shape. So, before you begin stitching the interior, define the edges of the shape with a wrapped backstitch. You may use
the same thread, or try using a contrasting thread. Be adventuresome. Use a metallic, or backstitch with one color and wrap
the backstitches with a contrasting color! (Hint: try backstitching the edges of a candy cane with a white thread and
wrapping the backstitches with a red thread. It creates a wonderful effect!)

Hit Parade for Week 4
Which hitters might very well be more productive in the upcoming scoring period? Our Scott White tries a different approach to helping owners find success in Week 4 in his latest Hit Parade.
After three weeks of trying something new, I've decided to ammend this year's Hit Parade so that it more closely resembles last year's.
Though time constraints factor in to what I can and can't do, my first priority is to write something people will benefit from reading. Some of the feedback we've received over the last three weeks suggests the new approach was a step in the wrong direction.
If you'd like to weigh in on the matter, drop me a line on Twitter (@CBSScottWhite). Compare this week's Hit Parade to last week's and tell me which you like better. I have a feeling I know what the answer will be.
In this version, I've assessed Fantasy-relevant hitters based on streaks, matchups, injuries and lineup changes and divided them into five categories: "no-brainers," "advisable starts," "shaky starts," "strictly AL/NL-only" and "don't bother."
These designations rate each player's Fantasy value for the current week only and have no bearing on his value for the season as a whole.
Any players not appearing on these lists are presumed to be below "don't bother" status and are obvious sits in Fantasy.
All stats are updated through Wednesday, April 17. Injuries are shown in parentheses.
|Player Name
|% change
|Brandon Crawford , SS, Giants
|Evan Gattis , C, Braves
|Chris Carter , OF, Astros
|Chris Johnson , 3B, Braves
|Josh Donaldson , 3B, Athletics
|John Buck , C, Mets
|Nate Schierholtz , OF, Cubs
|Everth Cabrera , SS, Padres
|Daniel Nava , OF, Red Sox
|Daniel Murphy , 2B, Mets
CatcherThis offseason, the Mariners decided they could live with Jesus Montero shortcomings behind the plate as long as he lived up to his potential at the plate. So far, he has not, and so Kelly Shoppach has gotten the nod over him in three of the team's last five games. Montero has favorable matchups against the Astros and Angels this week, so if they don't get him going, he might have a hard time reclaiming regular at-bats apart from a lineup shuffle that frees up the DH spot. Avoid him for now.
Worth a second look:
Evan Gattis
Gattis has cooled off over his last five games, going 2 for 19, but he has become such a critical part of the Braves lineup that you can count on him remaining a part of it at least until Brian McCann comes back. He has three games at Coors Field this week and also gets to beat up on Rick Porcello when the Braves travel to Detroit (DH, anyone?), so I expect him to come roaring back.
Approach with caution: Salvador Perez , Royals
Not only is Perez off to a slow start this season with a sub-.600 OPS, but he has to face Max Scherzer , Justin Verlander and Anibal Sanchez to start out the week, followed by three more righties in the Indians series. He hit .279 with a .711 OPS against righties last year compared to .358 and 1.021 OPS against lefties, so now isn't the time for a rebound.
Buster Posey
Joe Mauer
Carlos Santana
Yadier Molina
Matt Wieters
Wilin Rosario
Mike Napoli
Advisable starts: Miguel Montero , Jonathan Lucroy , Evan Gattis , A.J. Pierzynski
Shaky starts: Salvador Perez , Jesus Montero , John Buck , J.P. Arencibia , Ryan Doumit , Tyler Flowers , Alex Avila , Russell Martin , John Jaso , Jarrod Saltalamacchia , A.J. Ellis
Strictly AL/NL-only: Chris Iannetta , Welington Castillo , Kurt Suzuki , Derek Norris , Jason Castro , Francisco Cervelli , Rob Brantly , Nick Hundley , Devin Mesoraco , Erik Kratz
Don't bother: Kelly Shoppach , Martin Maldonado , Michael McKenry , David Ross , Carlos Ruiz (suspension), Yasmani Grandal (suspension), Brian McCann (wrist), Wilson Ramos (hamstring), Mike Zunino , Travis d'Arnaud
|Red Sox
First baseLooks like Freddie Freeman stay on the DL will be a minimal one. Sidelined since the team's fifth game with a strained oblique, he's been taking swings in the cage and seems to be on track to return Monday at Colorado. Three games at Coors Field should help him shake off the rust pretty quickly, so unless you're just loaded at first base, you'll want Freeman in your lineup this week.
Worth a second look:
Lance Berkman
Berkman has had to sit out four of the team's last seven games, partially because the Rangers seem reluctant to use him against left-handed pitchers and partially because they've been without the DH during their current series at the Cubs. They'll be back in the American League all of this week, though, and are facing five of the league's most hittable righties in Joe Blanton , Tommy Hanson , Vance Worley , Kevin Correia and Mike Pelfrey . For what it's worth, the two lefties on tap are pretty hittable themselves.
Approach with caution: Ike Davis , Mets
Davis' dreadful start has the Mets experimenting with other options at first base. He has sat out two of the team's last three games against lefties, which isn't too surprising considering he hit .174 against them last year. It's pretty scary in a week he's scheduled to face four lefties, though, especially when their names are Ted Lilly , Clayton Kershaw , Hyun-Jin Ryu and Cole Hamels .
Joey Votto
Albert Pujols
Prince Fielder
Adrian Gonzalez
Buster Posey
Edwin Encarnacion
Joe Mauer
Billy Butler
Paul Goldschmidt
Advisable starts: Carlos Santana , Allen Craig , Anthony Rizzo , Paul Konerko , Freddie Freeman (oblique), Ryan Howard , Nick Swisher , Mark Trumbo , Chris Davis , Mike Napoli , Matt Carpenter , Lance Berkman , Todd Frazier , Michael Cuddyer (hamstring), Kendrys Morales
Shaky starts: Ike Davis , Eric Hosmer , Justin Morneau , Adam LaRoche , Kevin Youkilis , Adam Dunn , Brandon Belt , Yonder Alonso , Mark Reynolds , Michael Young , Brandon Moss , Chris Carter
Strictly AL/NL-only: Carlos Pena , Justin Smoak , Adam Lind , Jeff Keppinger , Matt Adams , Chris Johnson , Garrett Jones , Chris Parmelee , Mitch Moreland , Greg Dobbs
Don't bother: Todd Helton , Jordan Pacheco , John Mayberry , James Loney , Yuniesky Betancourt , Lyle Overbay , Mark Teixeira (wrist), Corey Hart (knee), Logan Morrison (knee), Mike Olt , Jon Singleton ,
Second baseAaron Hill fractured hand isn't all bad news for Fantasy owners. In his absence, Martin Prado has gotten a chance to play second base and is now only two games shy of gaining eligibility at the position in standard leagues. He's not playing it every day, so he may not gain it over the weekend, but if he does, he's a no-brainer at the position for next week.
Worth a second look:
Josh Rutledge
Rutledge isn't off to the greatest start with the bat, but his feet have helped make up for it. After going 7 for 7 on stolen bases in 73 games last year, he's already 4 for 4 this year, which helps explain why he's the No. 3 second baseman in Head-to-Head leagues over the last seven days. Clearly, new manager Walt Weiss is going to let him run. With three games at Coors Field and four games at Arizona this week, he should get on base often to make an impact in mixed leagues.
Approach with caution: Jason Kipnis , Indians
Looks like Kipnis has picked up where he left off in the second half last year, which isn't at all a good thing. Though the elbow injury that has already sidelined him for four games shouldn't hold him out over the weekend, it likely won't help him snap out of his season-opening 4-for-32 slump. Neither will his matchups against Jose Quintana , Chris Sale and Jake Peavy to begin this week.
Robinson Cano
Dustin Pedroia
Ian Kinsler
Ben Zobrist
Brandon Phillips
Chase Utley
Advisable starts: Jose Altuve , Matt Carpenter , Rickie Weeks , Josh Rutledge
Shaky starts: Dan Uggla , Neil Walker , Jason Kipnis , Howie Kendrick , Jedd Gyorko , Daniel Murphy , Danny Espinosa (wrist), Marco Scutaro , Dustin Ackley , Emilio Bonifacio
Strictly AL/NL-only: Chris Nelson , Kelly Johnson , Omar Infante , Darwin Barney , Donovan Solano , Mark Ellis , Jeff Keppinger , Chris Getz , Cliff Pennington
Don't bother: Yuniesky Betancourt , Eric Sogard , Brian Dozier , Daniel Descalso , Maicer Izturis , Aaron Hill (wrist), Brian Roberts (hamstring), Gordon Beckham (wrist), Logan Forsythe (foot), Jurickson Profar , Jemile Weeks , Kolten Wong
Third baseLuis Jimenez has started the last five games at third base for the Angels with Alberto Callaspo sidelined by a tight calf. Callaspo's injury might not require a DL stint, but it's not like the Angels are itching to get him back in the lineup. He was always miscast as an everyday player. Jimenez, thought not a top prospect, has hit at every level of the minors and is off to a terrific start in Callaspo's place. His lack of plate discipline will likely catch up to him sooner or later, but AL-only owners should take note of him.
Worth a second look:
Kyle Seager
Seager's batting average has been hovering around the Mendoza line, but he entered play Thursday with a modest six-game hitting streak and an MLB-leading seven doubles. His matchups this week against Brad Peacock , Bud Norris , Lucas Harrell , Garrett Richards , C.J. Wilson , Joe Blanton and Jason Vargas should turn that little flicker into a full-fledged flame, especially since five of them are righties. He hit only .237 against lefties last year.
Approach with caution: Kevin Youkilis , Yankees
Even if Youkilis' new stance is largely responsible for this hot start, he's probably due for a bit of a cool down and has the kind of matchups this week that might even make it a foregone conclusion. In a seven-game week, he's facing Matt Moore , David Price , Alex Cobb , Josh Johnson and R.A. Dickey , among others, so if you've been itching to swap him out for a Matt Carpenter or Brett Lawrie type, this week is a good time to do so.
Miguel Cabrera
Evan Longoria
Adrian Beltre
David Wright
Ryan Zimmerman
Martin Prado
Pablo Sandoval
Advisable starts: Chase Headley , Matt Carpenter , Will Middlebrooks , Todd Frazier , Kyle Seager
Shaky starts: Brett Lawrie , Kevin Youkilis , David Freese , Pedro Alvarez , Mike Moustakas , Jedd Gyorko , Manny Machado , Lonnie Chisenhall , Michael Young , Josh Donaldson , Trevor Plouffe
Strictly AL/NL-only: Chris Nelson , Chris Johnson , Jeff Keppinger , Juan Francisco , Placido Polanco , Matt Dominguez , Luis Cruz , Greg Dobbs , Alberto Callaspo (calf)
Don't bother: Yuniesky Betancourt , Luis Valbuena , Eric Chavez , Jordan Pacheco , Maicer Izturis , Daniel Descalso , Hanley Ramirez (thumb), Aramis Ramirez (knee), Alex Rodriguez (hip), Wilson Betemit (knee), Ian Stewart (quadriceps), Wilson Betemit (knee), Nolan Arenado , Nick Castellanos , Anthony Rendon
ShortstopHanley Ramirez is looking to surprise people with how quickly he returns from thumb surgery, saying it will be "way sooner" than the original mid-May timetable. How much is "way" is a judgment call, of course, but I'm guessing it measures weeks rather than days, which means I'm on the lookout for Ramirez to return before the end of April. I'm not suggesting anyone should start him this week, but I'd keep an eye out for further developments this weekend.
Worth a second look:
Andrelton Simmons
Granted, a thumb injury in the season's opening week didn't help, but Simmons hasn't performed up to anyone's expectations so far. The home run Sunday was a good sign, but considering he has only one double, the pop has been lacking so far. I get the feeling we'll see more of it during the Braves' three games at Coors Field to open the week. In a lineup full of home run hitters, all Simmons needs to do to matter in mixed leagues is get on base.
Approach with caution: Alcides Escobar , Royals
Escobar was a firecracker to start the year but has been a dud over his last six games, going 4 for 25. As rarely as he walks, when he's slumping, it really shows. He still has top-10 potential at shortstop, but Max Scherzer , Justin Verlander and Anibal Sanchez won't help him get back on track this week. Go with a Simmons or Everth Cabrera instead.
Troy Tulowitzki
Ben Zobrist
Ian Desmond
Starlin Castro
Jimmy Rollins
Advisable starts: Elvis Andrus , Asdrubal Cabrera , Jed Lowrie , Josh Rutledge , Andrelton Simmons
Shaky starts: Everth Cabrera , Alcides Escobar , Jean Segura , Danny Espinosa , Marco Scutaro , J.J. Hardy , Zack Cozart , Jhonny Peralta , Brandon Crawford
Strictly AL/NL-only: Yunel Escobar , Stephen Drew , Cliff Pennington , Eduardo Nunez , Ruben Tejada , Luis Cruz , Pete Kozma
Don't bother: Marwin Gonzalez , Eric Sogard , Brian Dozier , Maicer Izturis , Deniel Descalso, Clint Barmes , Alex Gonzalez , Jose Reyes (leg), Hanley Ramirez (thumb), Erick Aybar (heel), Derek Jeter (ankle), Hiroyuki Nakajima (hamstring), Dee Gordon , Billy Hamilton
OutfieldIn Minnesota, Oswaldo Arcia has taken the roster spot of Darin Mastroianni , who had to go on the DL with an ankle injury, but unlike Mastroianni, he has little experience in center field. This should bother Fantasy owners for two reasons. One, it means Aaron Hicks ' job is safe for the time being. Two, it means Arcia, who's looking like the more intriguing of the two prospects right now, won't be getting regular at-bats. Hopefully, he steals enough from Chris Parmelee and Ryan Doumit to factor in deeper leagues, but you shouldn't roll the dice on him just yet.
Worth a second look:
Carlos Gomez
Brewers and
Coco Crisp
, Athletics
Gomez was a popular drop when he got off to a 6-for-37 start, but with three consecutive three-hit games, his batting average is suddenly up to .300. Granted, he needs to pick it up on the base paths since steals are supposed to be his primary contribution, but when he's hitting well, I'd trust in him. He faces hittable pitchers like Jason Marquis , Tyson Ross , Edinson Volquez and Ted Lilly this week. As for Crisp, even with his recent bout with a groin injury, he's still the highest scoring outfielder in Head-to-Head leagues so far, outpacing even Justin Upton . He's perennially one of the more underrated hitters in Fantasy when he's able to take the field, so you want him active while he's performing well.
Approach with caution: Ichiro Suzuki , Yankees and Torii Hunter , Tigers
Suzuki is almost too obvious given the way he's started the season, but it's worth noting that, perhaps in response to his sub-.200 batting average, the Yankees have taken to sitting him in favor Brennan Boesch against left-handers. They face four lefties in their seven games this week, and the three righties are Alex Cobb , Josh Johnson and R.A. Dickey . Hunter, meanwhile, is off to a hot start, but it's been mostly singles so far. Against Wade Davis , James Shields , Ervin Santana , Paul Maholm , Kris Medlen and Mike Minor this week, he might have trouble maintaining that pace.

Honest Apples
We were approached by a Sydney marketing company to design a logo for a brand called Honest Apples. This project came about by some terrible weather down south where the apple crops were damaged, making them a little 'bruised' on the outside, but still yummy on the inside. This Honest brand will then roll out Honest Oranges and so on. We love the rustic and homely look designed to help sell this produce.

Spiritual Help for Lost Sheep
Fans of Wallace and Gromit, get ready: now there's a book to help you naaaaaaaavigate life's spiritual ups and downs! In Feng Shaun: Discover Inner Peace with Shaun the Sheep, you'll find simple tips on handling stress, eating right, praying, forgiving and keeping an open mind. Authored by Wallace ("a middle-aged Englishman") and Gromit ("his faithful dog"), the gift book is already a bestseller across the pond, and features photos from the film A Close Shave, which also stars Shaun the Sheep. Ordinary feng shui was never this much fun. Cheese and crackers not included. (Simon & Schuster, $9.95 48p ISBN 0-7432-5410-4; Dec. 15)
19th-Century Classics Made New
The Vedanta Society offers a new rendition of the classic biography Sri Ramakrishna and His Divine Play, translated from the original Bengali by Swami Chetanananda, a monk of the Ramakrishna Order. The colossal task of translating the early 20th-century book took him five years. The epic work's hagiographic life story of Sri Ramakrishna (1836—1886), possibly India's most important 19th-century saint, is particularly timely in its testimony of the vitality of all religions and the need for a harmonious religious pluralism. ($39.95 1,000p ISBN 0-916356-65-5; Dec.)
When most people today hear the name Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844—1889), they remember him as a British poet. But during his lifetime he was known primarily as a Jesuit priest, a zealous Roman Catholic who converted from Anglicanism at the age of 22 and devoted his life—including his literary talents—to the Catholic Church. According to his own wishes, most of his poems were not published until after his death. In Mortal Beauty, God's Grace: Major Poems and Spiritual Writings of Gerard Manley Hopkins, John Thornton and Susan Varenne gather not just Hopkins's spiritual poetry, but also some relevant "weather journal" entries (which use seemingly mundane observations on the weather as springboards to spiritual prose) and letters, including personal letters about his conversion. ($13 paper 240p ISBN 0-375-72566-0; Dec. 9)

|I would have said the crux was getting off of the chockstone, with the move to it being hard, but not quite as hard. It will probably depend upon body size- with skinney people finding the lower part eisier and people with VERY long arms (we're talking LOOOONG here) finding the top less difficult.

|This is an outrageous climb, a must-do for offwidth lovers! More than good OW technique, this seems to require a serious abs workout, and general tenacity and endurance. I didn't lead it, but the protection seems fine if you have some large cams, bigger than the #5 Camalot. Can now be rapped from two slung chockstones at the top... otherwise, an interesting 4th class descent.

Used in CRL Autostock Systems
A Higher Purity Compound for Light Scratches
This CRL SRP Polishing Compound is the
same powder supplied in the CRL SRP PN8930 and PN8932 Systems. It is used
with each of these systems for removing scratches and scuff marks that do not
require heavy grinding. Often referred to as cerium oxide but in reality, it is
a mixture of abrasives which would be considered a high purity cerium mixture.

First the good news. Wildfires are down this year in Alaska, only 1.25 million acres, compared to the 10-year average of 1.4 million burned. An unusually wet summer gets the credit.
First the good news. Wildfires are down this year in Alaska, only 1.25 million acres, compared to the 10-year average of 1.4 million burned. An unusually wet summer gets the credit.
Heavy rains last week, a spokesman for the Alaska Fire Service said, have effectively ended the 2013 fire season. They are also ushering us out of the state, our parting views of the magnificent scenery rather overcast.
But the real bad news here is the blow to the tourism economy announced Tuesday by Celebrity cruise line. It has canceled the remainder of a seven-night cruise to Alaska, returning the Millennium to Ketchikan, paying air fare home for some 2,200 passengers, refunding their money and giving them tickets for a free replacement cruise.
Four subsequent cruises over the same route, by the same ship, are also canceled before they begin, meaning the coastal Alaska towns at which the boat would have stopped will have something like 10,000 fewer tourists helping them end their season.
This was not a case of a hot-rodding captain parking a 965-foot ship on a rock, upside down, but "a mechanical issue with one of its two propulsion motors. It could sail at a reduced speed with one motor, but the cruise line decided to cancel the sailing "in an abundance of caution."
"It's not the ideal situation for those folks who really wanted to see all the stops on the itinerary," a Ketchikan visitors bureau official understated.
More good news: "I was in Alaska in June," emailed former Courier colleague Phil Toups. "Spent three days in and around Denali National Park.
"We were told that we saw Mount McKinley at its most beautiful. Sunshine for three days with magnificent views of the mountain from every direction."
Buggy? "Read about your Alaskan adventure," Jay Moss emailed. "Tell me, are the mosquitoes as big and bad as I've always heard?"
Remarkably, even icy Alaska has mosquitoes, smaller than the also plentiful bald eagle, but big enough.
The problem is numbers. The females must collect enough mammalian blood for reproductive purposes in a few summer weeks. We saw a few bugs, but arrived late enough to miss the worst weeks for mosquitoes and other biting flies.
Oops! I seem to have mis-stated the basics of Alaskan "subsistence" programs. "All Alaskan residents are allowed to subsistence fish and hunt, not just natives, depends on locality though." That in an email from a new column reader with impressive credentials, Thomas Cappiello, Fishery Biologist, Statewide Aquatic Resources Coordination Unit, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Sport Fish/Research and Technical Services Section.
Not wishing to get cross-wise with Alaska's wildlife folks, I responded immediately.
"Thank you for the clarification. I did not mean to imply that 'natives' were the only ones enjoying subsistence. The normal readers of my column would not have benefitted by my trying to explain the precise regulation, which, as you say, 'depends on locality though.'
"I was simply reminding my coastal Louisiana neighbors that there are more varieties of hunting/fishing regulations than they experience at home.
"I suspect you are not a regular reader and am curious how you happened upon my column so quickly.
"Could it be that this is part of the fabled governmental prying into email by which I submitted the column from a campground Wi-Fi in your state?
"If that is the case, in future, kindly bring such errors to my notice immediately, so I can correct them before they are published.
"If you become a regular reader, be prepared for additional corrections; I seem often to venture into explanations of matters I am not sufficiently prepared to discuss.
"We have enjoyed our three-week tour of Alaska, already we are considering an eighth trip some summer soon."
By the time you read this, we will be at home in balmy coastal Louisiana.

About Us
Gi-Grips were developed out of a very specific need: to increase finger & grip strength in a manner similar to being on the mat.
I've been doing jiu-jitsu for about 5 years. I've always known that aside from technique, your grip is one of the most important factors in your success on the mat. If you can't hold on when it matters, you are going to end up being submitted, or even injured.
For years, I used to ask the guys I trained with about different workouts they did in order to get stronger on the mat. One of the ones I asked about specifically was how to improve my grip. They gave me all of the usual ideas: springloaded grip strengtheners, wrist curls, holding heavier weights, doing finger push-ups… all of them good suggestions, but none of them really worked in a way that was similar to being on the mat & holding a Gi.
Eventually I tried various ways to attach weights to my gi. The goal was to make the gi real heavy, and then grip it and hold on to the material. However, this was pretty awkward, somewhat dangerous, & very inconsistent.
Finally, I had a novel idea… cut apart my old gi and use it on the weights. I was surprised to see that it worked! Except, because I had cut the material, it really started to fall apart after repeated uses. My efforts to perfect the idea resulted in the Gi Grip. A simple and innovative way to get an "on the mat" grip workout anywhere!
Try our Gi Grip and see the difference! We guarantee that you'll love the results!

The name "Esperanza Spalding" became known to a lot of people (particularly peevish Justin Bieber fans) tonight, when she was the surprise winner of this year's Best New Artist award. Spalding's prodigious status is actually similar to that of Bieber; she taught herself violin at an early age and became an instructor at the Berklee College of Music when she was only 20. Her music blends R&B, funk, be-bop, and a huge sweep of other styles; her primary instrument is the upright bass, which contrasts with the high timbre of her voice. Here she is performing at the White House:
Spalding's 2010 album Chamber Music Society is actually her third record, but the quirkiness of the eligibility requirements for the Best New Artist category mean that she was eligible for it this year. (Remember how long No Doubt had kicked around Orange County before being nominated for the award in 1997?) Why she won the trophy is probably as due to the "anybody's game" nature of this year's Best New Artist field as it is to her talent—but one thing's for sure: Her profile is definitely a lot higher now than it was two hours ago.

As you can see on the front page, I had the pleasure of interviewing up and coming country singer Cole Swindell on Monday and I'm looking forward to his concert next Wednesday. I've seen him a few times with Luke Bryan, the last being his Farm Tour appearance back in October and I love his song "Chillin' It." If you haven't heard it, download it or go to YouTube for the music video.
The best thing about the interview? Hearing him speak so highly of my Valdosta boy Rhett Akins, one of the top songwriters in Nashville. A lot of people may remember Rhett from his number one song back in 1995 called "That Ain't My Truck" or his 1996 hit, "Don't Get Me Started."
I love it when South Georgia boys get recognized.
Hopefully, with Cole's new album coming out on Feb. 18, he'll get more recognition.
I've been on a non-NASCAR kick for a while, but this boy-band-loving girl does love her some NASCAR. I'll admit, I've been blah about it since Tony Stewart was injured last August and didn't finish out the season. But, I'm feeling excited for Daytona. I'm going to try and write a little NASCAR this season. Technically, what I started out wanting to do is work in NASCAR. I was able to work for Fox Sports during the week of the 2007 Daytona 500, and also worked during the race. While most people remember it as the race where Mark Martin almost beat Kevin Harvick to take the Great American Race, I remember it for different reasons.
I remember it as the day that I almost got into a golf-cart wreck with the legendary Richard Petty. A few days before when my favorite driver, Stewart, won one of the Gatorade Duel races, I had to act all professional inside one of the Fox Sports television haulers while my man was celebrating just outside in Victory Lane.
Is it time for Daytona yet?

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Palo Alto, CA, United States, 2007/12/10 - New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Emerging Trends in SMD Placement, finds that market and product demands have resulted in smaller as well as lighter printed circuit boards (PCBs) capable of carrying more components.
Software capability and feeder designs represent the key highlights for new surface mount device (SMD) placement machines. In particular, an easy configuration process for the automated assembly line emphasizes the changeover during production and zero-downtime feature. Better robotic controls, user interface, programming, radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, intelligent feeder designs and other add-ons all assist with easy configuration.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (technicalinsights.frost.com), Emerging Trends in SMD Placement, finds that market and product demands have resulted in smaller as well as lighter printed circuit boards (PCBs) capable of carrying more components. These demands have led to a higher requirement for replacement accuracy and throughput thereby necessitating continuous improvements in the SMD assembly process.
If you are interested in a virtual brochure, which provides manufacturers, end users, and other industry participants an overview of the latest analysis of the Emerging Trends in SMD Placement, then send an email to Sara Villarruel - Corporate Communications at sara.villarruel[.]frost.com with the following information: your full name, company name, title, telephone number, email address, city, state, and country. We will send you the information via email upon receipt of the above information.
Surface mount technology is the standard production technique used to build printed circuit boards (PCB) that drive devices such as electrical appliances, electronic gadgets and industrial equipment.
"Leading SMD placement equipment manufacturers are introducing new machines with faster placement rates and higher accuracies," notes Frost & Sullivan Technical Insights Research Analyst Krishnakumar Srinivasan. "This is achieved by the improvement of the vision system, servo system, feeder design, fixating system, optimization software and nozzle design."
With the introduction of smaller 01005 packaging, manufacturers have to return to the drawing board to provide design support for these components. While placement rate and accuracy at one end consistently continue to be performance marking factors of the process and equipments, the industry has started looking at other aspects of technology like solder material, packaging and conveyor systems as trivial entities which impact the development curve of advanced SMD placement technologies.
"Modular designs are becoming more important in the new SMD placement systems," says Srinivasan. "With the increasing mix of product types and packaging, new machines need to provide higher versatility and robustness in handling these challenges. This has direct impact on the head technology, line-balancing strategies, optimization issues and vision systems."
The emergence of hybrid placement machines addresses the need to support production environments with high product mix. These machines help maximize throughput while reducing wear and tear caused by changeovers without causing unnecessary downtime.
Emerging Trends in SMD Placement, is part of the Surface Mount Technology Technical Insights Growth Partnership Service program, which provides a technology overview and outlook for SMD placement. It also focuses on various SMDs and associated methodologies prevalent today with a major emphasis on emerging SMDs. Furthermore, this research service includes detailed technology analysis and industry trends evaluated following extensive interviews with market participants. Interviews with the press are available.

Take your Studio Arts experience beyond the classroom—stay connected to fellow participants and instructors through our online resources and updates!
I am German, but have spent most of my adult life abroad. I have lived and worked in Berlin, Frankfurt, Paris, New York and –since 1982- Washington DC where I studied drawing, painting and collage at the Corcoran College of Art and Design. Art is my second career, after 35 years in international human resources and organizational development, including Vice President Human Resources at JP Morgan Chase and Director Personnel Management at the World Bank. I began to exhibit work in 2005, a listing of exhibits is attached.
My work is in private collections in the US and Germany examples of my work can be reviewed at: http://www.studiogallerydc.com/artists/pkarp/works.shtml
My work blends figurative and abstract elements, in two- and three-dimensional form, often combined with found objects. I use a wide range of media, including pencil and charcoal drawing, metallic and acrylic paint, photography, collage and assemblage.
I am interested in creating visual paradoxes and surprises, not as ends in themselves, but to expose the ambiguity of what we perceive as real, objective and true. Not coincidentally, my favorite color is grey and I never tire of exploring the many shades it comes in.
I enjoy making art from ordinary things and materials, and animating them through light and shadow. In my assemblage work, I attempt to create an interactive viewing experience, through the use of mirrors and kinetic elements, combined with photographs and found objects.
My objective is to create images that engage the imagination and invite speculation. I want viewers to inject their own thoughts and feelings into the work, rather than passively register what's there.
My influences include film and theatre, the artistry of the Dada masters (Kurt Schwitters), the Bauhaus period (Laszlo Moholy-Nagy) and photography (Aaron Siskind and William Eggleston). And, of course, Joseph Cornell. When asked about my creative process, I refer to it as systematic coincidence. It is the visual equivalent of what Andre Breton, the intellectual leader of Surrealism, called ecriture automatique. Trying to make art is a paradoxical undertaking to me, and more often than not I am the one who is most surprised by the outcome.

Ewings: Master plan needed
Nick Todaro, email@example.com
City Manager Chuck Ewings brought his first project to the Ennis City Commission on Monday — a comprehensive master plan for city development that hinges on public input.
The intention is to guide development and update the last such planning document, drafted in 2000. The 20-year roadmap would encompass land use, transportation, neighborhood development, parks and recreation, downtown and economic development as a whole. Given commission consent Monday, Ewings will request proposals from consultants to draft up a plan for the community, which he expects to cost about $100,000 or more.

MILWAUKEE — President Obama and Mitt Romney entered their final weekend of campaigning on Saturday facing a stubborn landscape of competitive states that right to the end are producing equal shares of hope and fear amid conflicting signals about the outcome.
The president, fighting to avoid being turned out of office four years after a rousing and historic victory, sought to shore up his standing in Midwestern states that had backed him enthusiastically last time. He assumed a defensive posture in Iowa and here in Wisconsin, two states where his advisers had openly scoffed at his rival's chances only a few months ago.
Mr. Romney, in the closing days of his second quest for the White House, worked to harness the enthusiasm running through the Republican Party to overcome the challenges he confronts in building an Electoral College majority. He fought to secure critical states like Florida and Virginia without allowing others to slip away.
But after hundreds of millions of dollars in television commercials, months of campaigning and three widely viewed debates, the race was locked in the same dynamic that has defined it from the start: Mr. Obama, burdened by four years of economic struggle and partisan animosity but still an inspiration to his party, holding the slightest of edges in Ohio and other swing states, and Mr. Romney, bearer of the hopes of conservatives and voters convinced the nation is on the wrong path, fighting to overtake him.
The last defining question was whether Mr. Romney's support had hit a ceiling — blunted by Mr. Obama's opportunity to show leadership in the deadly aftermath of Hurricane Sandy — or whether he was on the verge of unseating a president in a dramatic finale.Continue reading the main story
Supporters, donors and advisers to Mr. Romney, in battleground states and at the campaign headquarters in Boston, said in conversations over the last two days that they had hoped to be closing the campaign in a stronger position, with clear leads in at least some contested states. Now, several of them said, their optimism comes from the uncertainty in the closing hours of a contest, rather than any affirmative command of the race.
Mr. Obama raced through four states on Saturday as he tried to build enthusiasm among Democrats, appearing after a performance here by the singer Katy Perry to urgently tell a crowd of thousands, "We have come too far to turn back now; we have come too far to let our hearts grow weary."
Mr. Romney sought to tap into disappointment and discontent among voters as he rallied supporters, telling thousands of them in Engelwood, Colo., that "throughout his campaign, President Obama has tried to convince you the last four years have been a success."
The outlook expressed by both campaigns belied the tight nature of the contest in at least seven states. In their respective headquarters, advisers made convincing cases for why their candidate had the clearer path to 270 electoral votes, but when pressed they admitted to sleepless nights about a result that was expected to come down to only a sliver of the electorate.
The pursuit of Ohio's 18 electoral votes drew the most attention, with the candidates scheduling multiple stops there before Tuesday, but the rest of the landscape was also highly volatile. Mr. Obama had the edge in Nevada and Mr. Romney in North Carolina, strategists agreed, while Colorado, Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire, Virginia and Wisconsin were far closer.
Here in Wisconsin, Mr. Romney rallied voters on Friday as his running mate, Representative Paul D. Ryan, a native son, fought to rewrite the historical trends of a state that has not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan in 1984.
The president, who carried Wisconsin by 14 percentage points in 2008, arrived here in Milwaukee on Saturday afternoon. His campaign advisers thought the contest here was narrow enough to send him back to the state on Monday for a rally with an even bigger music star, Bruce Springsteen.
"It's always tantalizingly close for Republicans, and I assume that's where we are at with this one," said James E. Doyle, a former Democratic governor of Wisconsin, who was among the early supporters of Mr. Obama.
The defeat this year of an attempt to recall Gov. Scott Walker, a Republican, left behind an energized contingent of voters that Mr. Romney and his team will try to return to the polls. State laws that allow same-day registration in Wisconsin and in Iowa were seen by advisers to the Obama campaign as an advantage in their efforts to turn out younger voters.
Neil Newhouse, the pollster for the Romney campaign, compared the moment in the race to a football game: "It's a tie game, and there's a loose ball." Joel Benenson, the pollster for the Obama campaign, argued instead that Mr. Obama held the edge and that Mr. Romney was running out of time to overcome him.
Strategists on both sides agreed that Hurricane Sandy had at the very least interrupted Mr. Romney's late-stage prosecution of Mr. Obama in a way that may have stunted the sense of upward movement that had been surrounding his campaign.
The duel between Mr. Obama and Mr. Romney also held implications for the fight for the Senate, where Democrats are increasingly hopeful of retaining control, as well as for races in the House, where Republicans are confident of keeping a majority.
The close nature of the presidential race was underscored by the travel schedules, which left the candidates crossing paths, including stops on Saturday afternoon only a few miles apart in Dubuque, Iowa, across the Mississippi River from Wisconsin. In 2008, Mr. Obama carried Iowa and Wisconsin by wide margins, but he has struggled to lock down his support this year, creating an opening for Republicans.
"He's trying to do everything he can to rekindle what he had four years ago, but it's not there," said Gov. Terry E. Branstad of Iowa, a Republican. "Initially, there were a lot of people who were against Obama and weren't that wild about Romney, but over the last few months that has changed, and now there is really genuine enthusiasm for Romney."
The president had a five-point advantage in Iowa, according to a Des Moines Register poll released Saturday evening, which found Mr. Obama with 47 percent compared to 42 percent for Mr. Romney. The poll, conducted Tuesday through Friday, has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus four percentage points.
The candidates, as they near the end of their contest, are intimately familiar with the metrics and minutiae of the state-by-state races. In Iowa, for example, Democrats were pointing to 17,000 voter registrations in the past month, which narrowed the Republican advantage to about 1,400 voters, down from about 11,000 a month ago.
The campaign played out on Saturday entirely on the terrain that Mr. Obama won four years ago, when he expanded the battleground to Virginia and North Carolina for the first time in a generation. Republicans portrayed Mr. Romney's late push into Pennsylvania, where he was set to have a campaign rally on Sunday, as a sign of strength.
"You have to look at what they're doing now," said Gov. Tom Corbett of Pennsylvania, a Republican. "They're engaging here. They're spending money here. The race is close, and that's when you try to push it over the line."
Yet Democrats portrayed the move as an act of desperation, arguing that the state has not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since the elder George Bush in 1988.
"This is what I would describe as a Hail Mary," said former Gov. Edward G. Rendell, a Democrat. "They have found out that it's not likely they'll carry Ohio, and the only way to do the electoral math is to carry Pennsylvania or a Michigan or even a Minnesota."
An aide to Mr. Romney said the campaign had decided to compete in Pennsylvania only after taking steps to finance advertising campaigns and get-out-the-vote operations fully in other states. The indication was that advisers viewed the state as worth a try, given the deadlocked national poll numbers, but not at the expense of anything else.
In interviews, aides to Mr. Obama said he remained competitive in Florida, a state that both sides had viewed as more favorable to Mr. Romney, who would face a hard road to victory without its 29 electoral votes.
Mr. Romney's campaign officials said they were confident that he would win Florida. But they were not taking chances and scheduled a visit by Mr. Romney to the state on Monday. Each side had a poll to bolster its supporters. An NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll showed Mr. Obama with a two-point edge. A Miami Herald/Tampa Bay Times/Bay News 9 survey showed Mr. Romney with a six-point advantage.
They said they were less certain about Virginia, agreeing with Mr. Obama's strategists that a jump in polling in the state for Mr. Romney after the first presidential debate had subsided, though they still predicted a victory there. Mr. Obama increased his advertising in both states, even though ads had reached saturation levels, a sign of the uncertainty alive in the race.
Mr. Romney was scheduled to make two stops in Virginia on Monday, including one in the northern suburbs, a region that was pivotal to Mr. Obama's becoming the first Democratic presidential candidate in four decades to win the state. It is part of the Romney campaign's strategy of winning over voters who supported Mr. Obama in 2008.
Mr. Newhouse, the pollster for the Romney campaign, said the campaign had wooed enough Obama supporters nationally to make a decisive difference.
The effort has been punctuated by Mr. Romney's recent emphasis on bipartisanship and moderate policy positions after a primary season in which he called himself "severely conservative." It has also included a run of advertisements telling those swept up in the promise of Mr. Obama's last campaign that he had tried but failed, and that it was time to move on.
"I think we did what we needed to do," Mr. Newhouse said, "but we're going to find out Tuesday."Continue reading the main story

Runners remember Betty Gooch at Dolphin Dash 5K
Betty Gooch was a longtime teacher in the Cape district and a member of the staff at Shields Elementary when she died of cancer last spring. She is missed by many every day. Betty was known to live life with excitement, taking one day at a time, putting the bad in the past and looking for the good in all.
More than 75 students came out on a day off from school Oct. 5 at Shields to participate in one-lap dolphin dashes separated by grade level - and got excited doing it. From kindergarten to fifth grade, students showed their speed on the historic dirt oval and received Seashore Striders medals at the finish line.
Almost 100 participants turned out to complete the 5K course that took in Shields, Highland Acres and Blockhouse Pond on the out-and-back, fast and flat route.
Speaking of excitement, how about the "Star Spangled Banner" performed by close friend Kim Hall, who nailed the notes with no music or PA system to assist?
Kids of all ages participated in the event, which was won by Desie Shorten of Ireland in 17:49, while 13-year-old Ben Bamforth of Lewes was second in 18:10. Twelve-year-old Logan Shuttleworth won her fifth straight female overall title in the Dolphin Dash with a 10th-place finish in 21:33. Bethany's Rick Hundley won the male masters in 19:54, while Colleen Byam won the female masters in 24:11. Results and photos can be found at seashorestriders.com.
Vikings and Ravens race tough Brandywine Creek
The Cape Vikings and the Sussex Tech Ravens both traveled north for the all-day Salesianum Invitational where divisional races go off every 30 minutes from freshman boys to junior varsity to large school varsity to the championship elite. More than 1,500 athletes from the East Coast converged on Brandywine Creek State Park, known by all as one of the most difficult high school 5K courses.
Both the Vikings and the Ravens had some bright spots individually, but most of the runners from the two local teams struggled, finishing anywhere from a minute to two minutes slower than their normal times.
"It's a tough place to race for our kids when we do not have the same kind of hill training as the upstate kids do," said coach Dave Ritter of Tech. "Some teams are there three times a week, while we may see a course like that a few times a season."
The Delaware State Championships are also scheduled for Brandywine on the second Saturday in November, which some coaches feel is a bad shake for the downstate runners.
Individually, Sam Hete was the top finisher for the Ravens in 13th place with a time of 18:02, while Cape's Austin MacElrevey finished in 18th place in a time of 18:15. Victor Rueda of Sussex Tech ran 18:49 for 38th place. Sussex Tech was ninth in the team standings, while Cape was 11th overall.
For the girls, Bethany Killmon of Sussex Tech was seventh overall in 22:00, while Madison MacElrevey led the Vikings in 26th place with a time of 23:06.
Bank of America Chicago Marathon
A group of locals took part in the Chicago Marathon Oct. 7, mixing in with more than 20,000 runners over 26.2 miles of fun. Leading the way was Jamaican-born Enos Benbow of Georgetown racing to a 2:39:19 after coming through the halfway mark in 1:20:19 for an impressive negative second half of the race.
Brandt Chi of Rehoboth Beach ran 2:59:37, cracking the three-hour barrier, while Mary Beth Evans of Rehoboth Beach ran a 3:47:08.
Linda Schwartz-Chi of Rehoboth Beach ran 3:50:57, while Linda Reck of Rehoboth Beach ran 3:56:12. Amy Linzey of Ocean View ran 4:42:21, while Rosanna Castillo of Rehoboth Beach/NYC ran 5:14:23. Joey Kwit of Rehoboth Beach/NYC also ran 5:14:24, while Karen Hill of Rehoboth Beach ran 5:23:36. Roger Reed of Lewes ran 5:48:01. Qualifying for the historic Boston Marathon were Enos Benbow, Brandt Chi, Linda Schwartz-Chi, Mary Beth Evans and Linda Reck.
Upcoming races
6 p.m., Friday, Oct. 12, 3rd Raven Classic 5K, Sussex Tech High School, Georgetown.
Noon, Sunday, Oct. 14, 3rd Officer Chad Spicer Memorial 5K, Georgetown

Two projects at the Coon Rapids Recycling Center have been given the green light by the Coon Rapids City Council.
The council has approved the purchase of an electronic readerboard sign for the center as well as a pallet jack.
There are state funds available for the purchases through the comprehensive waste reduction and recycling legislation passed in 1989 called SCORE, according to Sharon Legg, city finance director.
The state SCORE dollars go to Anoka County which parcels out the money annually to its municipalities through a formula based on population and recycling tonnage goals.
The electronic LED readerboard, which will cost $24,000, will replace the existing manual sign, which has limited wording, Legg said.
"The new board can have varying messages to hopefully increase the tonnage recycled as well as the number of users of the center," she said.
The pallet jack has a price tag of $3,730, Legg said.
Open Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the recycling center is located at the city's public works garage at 1831 111th Ave. N.W., and is a drop off center for the residents of Coon Rapids and Anoka County only.
According to the recycling center website, its goal is to provide residents with as many recycling resources as possible for alternatives to trash.
There are many special drop-off opportunities during the year including paper shredding, tires, furniture, mattresses, carpet, appliances and electronics and more.

Could Smokelss Tobacco Cause Bumps Under the Tongue?
So I have been dipping for some time now. Recently I have had pain under my tongue. The flap of skin has 2 large bumps that are very painful.
You should be seen by the ENT for evaluation and possibly biopsy.

65-74 year old woman treated with Facelift
Was this photo helpful? {{ voteCount + ' other' + (voteCountOthers == 1 ? '' : 's') }} found this helpful
This patient is a 67 year-old female who lost a large amount of weight following bariatric surgery. After losing so much weight, she had marked sagging in the neck and along the jawline, midface volume loss, and deepening of the nasolabial folds. She also had some concerns related to drooping of the brow that was causing some hooding of the upper eyelids which made her look tired. She felt great about the weight loss, but she did not like the aged, tired appearance that resulted from the excess skin laxity that resulted. She scheduled a consultation with Dr. Boggess to determine her facial rejuvenation options. She elected to proceed with a Face/Neck Lift and Brow Lift. As demonstrated in her before and after pictures, she has marked improvement in her jawline and neck and enhancement of the eyes.

Applications open for Congress tickets to Delhi assembly polls
The Congress has started distributing application forms. If you want to contest polls on a Congress ticket, queue up at the Delhi office.india Updated: Sep 25, 2013 11:11 IST
If you want to contest elections on a Congress ticket, queue up at the Delhi Congress office to get the application form.
The party has started distributing application forms and will accept filled-up forms from ticket-seekers till September 30. The screening committee will scrutinise all the forms from the first week of October.
The idea of application through prescribed forms is reportedly a brainchild of the party vice-president Rahul Gandhi, who wanted a transparent and improved candidate selection process.
Senior Delhi Congress leaders said the 27-member election committee, which held its first meeting on Tuesday, has decided to finalise the criteria on which the aspirants will be tested and shortlisted.
While the electoral dark horse Aam Aadmi Party has already declared its candidates on more than 50 of the 70 assembly seats and the Bahujan Samaj Party has also finalised almost all its candidates, the two most prominent political parties - the Congress and the BJP - have just initiated the process.
While the aspirants who have already been nominated by the district and block level office bearers of the party do not have to apply again, Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president Jai Prakash Agarwal said other ticket-seekers will have to give complete details about their personal life and political experience in the form.
"Apart from their primary membership number of the party and other basic details, the aspirants will also have to say if they have ever contested elections against the Congress and their achievements in the political and social life. We have asked them to furnish details of criminal cases registered against them," Agarwal said.
According to senior party leaders, the screening teams of the All India Congress Committee will form further smaller groups to minutely scrutinise all the forms and start short-listing the candidates.

Is Miley Cyrus Really An Icon – Get it off Your Chest
Miley Cyrus is by far the most popular person in media to day, most famous for her roll in the "twerking movement". Does that put her on the status of an icon?
After making my 'Who said it Miley or MLK' video yesterday I was in the middle of tagging it on YouTube when I discovered something very disturbing. When typing in Dr. Martin Luther King's name he comes up in the search as an author. Not to odd considering that he has written several books, the shock came when I typed in Miley Cyrus. YouTube actually has her listed as an Icon.
Miley is a talented young lady that is easy on the eyes, but is this really what we consider to be someone that is a icon and MLK just an author?

A scan will determine whether the Bianconeri defender faces up to three months on the sidelines, with Antonio Conte already short of cover at the back
The Italy international defender could miss Juventus' Champions League round of 16 double-header in February, as well as several domestic fixtures if the injury proves to be as serious as feared.
The incident comes at a bad time for the Serie A title holders, who have just released experienced Brazil defender Lucio from his contract.
Chiellini is also valued for his leadership abilities, with the 28-year-old the vice-captain behind Gigi Buffon for both club and country.

As some of our viewers have noticed, there has been some disturbance in the nest. We spotted those pesky crows yesterday trying to get to the eggs. The Ospreys chased them away on and off in the afternoon. This morning the female is incubating on the eggs while the male stands guard. We can only assume the eggs were not damaged by the crows. Is this pair not as mature as last year's? Is this their first nesting season? All we can do is let nature take its course and hope for the best.
There is a chance of thunderstorms in the area today but it is supposed to be a very warm weekend with highs in the 80's.

Bowl Coverage: VT in Full Practice Mode For the Scarlet Knights
Orlando, FL - The Hokies went through their final full practice Wednesday afternoon for Friday's Russell Athletic Bowl game against Rutgers. Thursday morning they will have their final walk through leading into Friday night's kickoff.
"I think so far our attention to detail has been good. And I think we have separated when it is time to work and when it is time to enjoy Disney World," said Hokies Head Coach Frank Beamer.
The Hokies want to make sure Rutgers doesn't beat them with the passing game.
"I feel like that is what their strong point is their receivers and skill guys. So we just have to do a good job of shutting those guys down," said Hokies Senior Linebacker Bruce Taylor.
"Coach Foster obviously loves to blitz. When you can get pressure on quarterbacks they become very average, I don't care if they're Peyton Manning or Tom Brady if you get pressure on them they are not going to be as good," Hokies Linebacker Jack Tyler.
Rutgers coach Kyle Flood is mostly concerned about Logan Thomas, saying Logan's ability to run the ball will have an effect on the game.
"If we are going to play good defense it is going to start with minimizing his effect on the running game and for us I think that leads to good pass defense and it leads to turnovers," said Rutgers Head Coach Kyle Flood.
Early Wednesday, Rutgers and Tech players got a chance to have some fun with kids facing life threatening illnesses. And for a lot of the players, bringing joy to the kids was more fun than Disney or Universal. It feels good to give back.
"I think getting out here with the kids is really heart warming has meant the most for me," said Hokies Tight End Zack McCray.
"It's definitely a good opportunity for me to give back and our team to give back to these guys let them know they aren't fighting alone," said Hokies Cornerback Antone Exum.
"It's good to show that we care and show that there's life outside of football," said Hokies Quarterback Logan Thomas.
Logan said the Hokies have enjoyed the total bowl experience this week.
The coaches address the media one final time Thursday morning.

Born and Bred
Being a third-generation Dodgers fan myself, this article by Eric Neel really struck a chord with me. He says of his grandfather, "They were his Dodgers before they were mine." Same here. My grandfather Sam was a fan from the Brooklyn days, and he (with some help from Koufax) taught my dad the ways of Dodger fandom. As for me… well, I'm told "Dodgers" was my first word. Maybe that's true and maybe it isn't, but I've loved the Dodgers all my life.
And after a 7-game losing streak, our Dodgers are still tied for first place. They might not be able to hold out, but as Neel points out, "We're not getting cheated right now."

Plain Jane '00 XJ slower build
8 Attachment(s)
This will be a very slow build as time and cash will likely go to other projects first. I will post a few pics asap.
She is a Very Plain Jane. Manual windows and door locks, no window tint, white 2000, 2 door abused XJ. 4.0, auto, 231, Dana 30LP x Dana 35 open/ open. A PO installed BB, spacers & extended shackles. Factory style tow hooks front & rear.
Cut & Fold quarters are all cut, no fold. Fender well pinch seams are flattened. Hood and fenders have been modified due to a lack of hood latch cable.
First up after a day or two with the HP Washer are hood latch repairs, replace the front fenders, patch in the quarters, replace the fugly bumpers, repair rusted & dented rockers and cash permitting a decent 3 - 3.5 lift.
The hood release cable and extended front bumper mounting plates came in this week. Today I ordered weld through D ring mounts & weld through flush mount receiver hitches for front and rear bumpers. When I get back next week I'll order some 5 x 2 steel tubing. Then it will be cut & weld time!
I got back from the beach today, the brown santa truck had left a box from competition 4x4 had arrived! My weld through flush mount 2" receivers and weld through 1" D ring mounts have arrived!!
I saw numerous XJ's & ZJ's in the Lewes to Dewey Beach, DE area with various stages of lift/ tires/ off road equipment, but no JF decals!!
And it begins!
I took off the grill, head lights, markers and header panel and started cleaning the rust stains from a over heating situation from the PO. Both front fenders are trash as is the OE bumper. PO had installed front tow hooks, they will be for sale along with the tow hook support brackets. The unibody frame rails appear untouched. The LH front fender support is bent as well as some of the mounts. So far only a few of the small torx sheet metal screws have snapped, one will need drilled and tapped.
I should have both fenders off today. I'll do some more cleaning of the rust stains and grease. The PO had flattened the pinch welds in the wheel wells and they look good to an untrained eye. I'll clean as much rust as possible, use paintable seam sealer, prime and coat with POR-15/ under coat. I'll also try to straighten out some of the bent/ twisted metal.
I am trading some Mustang stuff for decent fenders, hood latch cross rod and other parts. I will cut the "new" fenders for clearance and likely re-use the fender flares for now.
Next up will be the front bumper. I took my Lincoln Mig in for repairs, hopefully there will be enough left in the budget for some steel!
That engine looks super clean compared to the rest of the jeep! This thing is gunna look mean once its finished.

I sprayed it down with engine cleaner, half hour later I hit it with a little electric pressure washer.
The body isn't horrible, worst dent is the drivers door frame & rocker. That will need pulled.
I did pull out the damaged front LH fender mount today.
I also straightened all the brackets.
Good luck on the build. I am doing something very similar, but my body is in much better shape. I will follow!
Oh, the Jeep. I traded a '94 Mustang for it that had A LOT more rust, every body panel was either dented or rusty, needed all new steel brake lines, tires, rear rotors and would not pass PA Inspection.
The Jeep is inspected and runs/ drives great. And it has a IPod dock!
:cheers2: Have fun with your XJ! Pics?

Lookin good so far! Very similar to the one we picked up for my GF
That looks to be in pretty good shape! I am sure she will enjoy it!
My alternator seized today. I'm researching upgrade swaps. I've found a 160 & 200 amp alt's on eBay.
Friday I picked up a 124 amp alternator, hood latch cross rod, bell crank and rod spring.
Last night the guys I got the XJ from came up for a visit. They brought the original 8.25 (needs spider gears, it will get Aussie locker), fuel tank skid plate and a bunch of other goodies.

Sweet! Keep up the good work!
Just finished the lift and wheels last night on hers
That looks really good! 3.5 lift is were I want to go also, did you use a kit? Do you have a "build" page?
2 Attachment(s)
Thanks! We picked up a used kit off craigslist. I started a build for her here
