Fix your swing? How about fix the swinger? That is the goal at Fox Hills with a brand new program called Omni Kinetics, the first of its kind in Michigan."Omni Kinetics, first and foremost, is a complete health and wellness solution for you. We have the only true team approach from A to Z," said certified athletic trainer Graham Polakoff.Core work is the key, and Omni Kinetics hits all the trouble spots. Golf is about speed and timing, and we're told this program will produce results that can make it easier to benefit from a golf instructor.Fox Hills teaching pro Brian Cairns loves the program because it's tailored, not a one size fits all mentality."Every student I ever see has a different handicap in their swing, and it's up to me to address their golf swings and their mechanics, but physical limitations definitely make my job harder," Cairns said. "Having Graham here, it really opens a lot of doors. And plus the physical and the fit end of it is part of being an athlete, and we promote athletes here at Fox Hills.""Can that person get there without hurting themselves or can they get there efficiently? And so we find out if they're moving well and okay this is why. So now when you get back to that golf pro with your clubs, now you're focused on your target and your alignment and your grip, and you don't have to focus on trying to get your shoulder into a weird position that you're struggling because the golf pro's sitting there twisting you around," Polakoff said.The Omni Kinetics program is a product of the Titleist Performance Institute.

Every artist has a signature — David Yurman's is cable. It is the unifying element of all his collections. It shapes every design, creating movement, texture, and depth. The iconic motif is constantly interpreted in unique ways, as in the new Modern Cable Collection, where the double helix is transformed into a carved pattern. Many of the designs marry this classic form with innovative material, including titanium, valued for its lightweight strength.

Back to Dressing up, Dressing down
The aesthetic dress movement of the 1870s and 1880s looked to reform the type of restrictive clothing worn by fashionable women, especially the appearance of over-tight corsets and narrow shackling skirts. Perhaps first originating with Amelia Bloomer's trousers in the 1850s (see below), by the end of the nineteenth century, this movement had its greatest effect in the design of domestic undress wear, specifically tea-gowns which could be used for a variety of "at home" entertaining occasions. Loosely flowing and obviously base on a Grecian or sculptural model, these dresses provided a classical timeless shape, free from fussy over-trimmed decoration.
The London firm of Liberty & Co was established in 1875, first selling products influenced by the Orient and slanted to an artistic market. They were prime retailers of these tea-gowns, and their booklets of designs showed dresses which could be chosen and ordered. This example from around 1910 has charming embroidery around the neck, yoke and cuffs, and is typically loose and full, not fitted to the figure at all.

Who likes ridiculous burger combinations?
If you say no, you don't need to read any further, unless your enjoy thinking about people making slobs out of themselves...in which case don't give up on me yet!
If you're hand is raised, put it down and book a trip to the city of Brotherly Love.
At PYT, they do a "Burger of the Week" promotion. The latest has been unearthed....a Deep-Fried Twinkie Burger.
The folks at PYT have just raised the bar.
It has two deep-fried Twinkies as the bun, a custom made pork belly and beef patty, bacon and American cheese.
I've done a rough estimate of the caloric impact of this monstrosity.
425 calories each for the Twinkie + 147 calories per ounce of pork belly (since it appears to be a 6-7 oz patty, I multiplied that by 3) + 290 calories for about 4 ounces of ground chuck (80-20) + 92 calories for the 2 strips of bacon + 104 calories for the slice of American cheese.
Add all that up and you get approximately 1,777 calories. That's before the crispy waffle fries and spicy pickle which comes with every burger order.
One word: YUM.
Now top that you burger scientists out there.

Hoping to avoid the travel drama that plagued the team's journey to the 2012 national championships, head coach Jim Zeigler and the seven national tournament qualifiers from the third-ranked Northwest College wrestling team departed for Des Moines, Iowa, hoping to beat the arrival of a major winter storm expected to slam the nation's heartland.

Chen has been superb this year for the Orioles, while Pineda continues to pitch in "hard luck." The Orioles are EASILY...
My free play is on the Bal Orioles at 7:05 Et.
The New York Yankees' playoff hopes have all but faded, as Derek Jeter begins the final home series of his illustrious career as the New York Yankees look to keep alive their slim wild-card hopes in the first of four games against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. they're still showing some fight. The 80-75 Yankees have won four of five after beating Toronto 5-2 on Sunday but they are 4 1/2 games out of a wild-card spot and will need to pass THREE teams to earn one. The Orioles (93-62) had won four straight and 10 of 11 before dropping two of three to Boston over the weekend. They are 2 1/2 games back of the Angels for the AL's best overall record and will need help from LA (meaning an Angel slump) this final week to catch them.
Baltimore sends Wei-Yin Chen (16-4, 3.58 ERA) to the mound, who is both 8-2 on the road and at home in 2014. He is coming off his FOURTH consecutive victory and NINTH in 10 decisions. The left-hander has posted a 1.45 ERA in his last three appearances and is looking to become the Orioles' first 17-game winner since Mike Mussina went 18-7 in 1999. New York's Michael Pineda is his mound opponent and he's 0-3 despite a 2.45 ERA over his last four starts, a stretch in which he's received ONE total run of support. Pineda (3-5, 2.15 ERA) hasn't recorded a decision in three career outings against the Orioles while compiling a 2.50 ERA but his teams are 0-3.
Chen has been superb this year for the Orioles, while Pineda continues to pitch in "hard luck." The Orioles are EASILY the best moneyline team in MLB this season at plus-$3,499, as the Angels own the second-best mark at plus-$2,228. A good part of Baltimore's winnings have come on the road, where their plus-$2,065 mark is also a MLB-best. No win here for Jeter and the Yanks!
Good luck...Larry

Those are the words of UW Crops and Soils Specialist Kevin Jarek when I asked him what were a growers options when planting corn this weather delayed season. Jarek says in the North-Central and Northeastern part of the state 30-35% of the corn still needs to be planted and with an uncertain forecast there are some decisions a grower has to make. as you heard Jarek says if we get cooperative weather yet this week we should probably look to planting a shorter season variety 75-85 days. Seed dealers in the area say they do have the inventory. but if we are still waiting to plant next week he is recommending looking at a 105-110 long season hybrid so that it hopefully silks by frost giving the producers the highest quality feed that provides the most dry matter possible.
UW Extension Ag Economist Paul Mitchell also has suggestions on 4 options an insured farmers has
1)Plant late with a reduced guarantee
2) take a full prevented plant indemnity with restrictions on what you can use the acres for this summer/fall
3)Take a partial prevented planted plant indemnity with fewer restrictions on using the acres this summer/fall

Wow! What a wonderful (almost) three months this has been! We've traversed many miles, sang many hours and made
so many new friendships.
This week we ventured down to beautiful southern Oregon to elementary schools in Medford, Grants Pass, Jacksonville, Klamath Falls and back to Portland to perform three public performances at The Hampton Opera Center.
Since this is my last blog, I wanted to share a few of my favorite memories from these three months on the road...
During a Q&A at one school, a young Latino boy raised his hand and asked Claudia if she spoke Spanish. When she responded (in Spanish), "Yes I do, do you?" He answered, "Si!" and turned to his teacher with such a look of pride to be able to speak Spanish like one of the opera singers! This meant a lot to Claudia and all of her fellow POGOers as well!

Comments On Apr 20, 2014:Purchased this clutch kit to install for my wife to learn how to ride with. Expected it to have been smoked already. Happily its showing no real signs of wear, or distortion. Amazing actually considering how hard its life has been. Its only been five hours of ride time, but countless stalls, dumps and slips. It wasn't an easy five hours. Install was easy, parts fit perfectly, everything measured out to max spec in service manual. They do mean heavy duty springs much heavier than stock. Watched a new clutch kit that cost over twice this much get smoked in 1 hour under a new rider, with the same kind of abuse. Gave it five stars even though its only been in a few hours. I did hop on a few times and thrashed it through the gears, had nothing abnormal about it at the end of the day. Very satisfied and its fulfilled its purpose and kept on going. Would recommend and will buy again.

"If you're going to get in a car accident and you're going to get injured, you want it to be in Michigan," said attorney Michael Morse.Morse deals with accident victims all day long. He's talking about no fault insurance. It's a blessing on the roads that you could say is a curse on your wallet.CarInsuranceQuotes.com put Michigan as being the most expensive in the nation for car insurance when median cost and median household income are factored into the equation. One of the reasons is because of what you are paid when you're injured."We're the only state in the country that has unlimited medical benefits. No matter what your injury is, you will get the rehabilitation you need here in Michigan.""I can't afford a new car. Can't afford the car insurance. You can't get a new car with no car insurance. That's the law," one man remarked.Detroiters will tell you the bill is crashing their bottom lines."Paid $3,500 to $4,000 for just me and my wife, and I'm 62 years old," another said.High insurance is why Parts Galore on Eight Mile in Detroit is doing so well. Can't afford the collision insurance? You go there, pick out a part and slap it on yourself. It's the only way for some Detroiters.So what can you do? Morse said start with shopping around and asking for discounts. If you have an old car that's on its way out, maybe you don't need collision coverage. You could drop it, Morse said. Also, check what's on your policy line by line with your insurance company and find out what you may and may not need."Look to see if you have any incidentals on the policy that you don't need. Sit down with your agent. Have them go line item by line item and see if you actually need every benefit that you're paying for. Also, lastly, raising your deductible is a really good way to lower your insurance."Morse said low credit scores are another reason for the high insurance rates in some parts of the state, including Detroit. So in order to pay less for insurance, try to get that score back up.

Diablo 3 review
The Diablo series has been a source of many fond gaming memories for me. Beating up on hordes of minions from Hell alone always made me feel like a hero, and I felt especially rewarded when recovering all the loot that spewed like a fountain from the corpses of the fallen and chests scattered throughout the dungeons in the games.
And now, 12 years later, all those feelings came rushing back as I played Diablo III. The game has not substantially changed from its predecessors. Sure, it looks prettier, has an MMO-like auction house, and an annoying need to stay connected to the Internet even when I'm not playing with friends online. But the overall feeling of power and control still prevails--and it's what makes the game a success.
I chose a monk to play through the story line because of the enjoyment I used to have playing that type of in-your-face finesse class in pen-and-paper role-playing games. As I progressed in level and knowledge, the class really played as I had envisioned it when describing my actions to the dungeon master in hours-long play sessions. Now, no such description is needed; the sessions are still hours long and Blizzard has succeeded in becoming the dungeon master. No more talking, just doing.
The story is again well-crafted, but that is nothing new for Blizzard. As with any trip to a Diablo-imagined Hell, there are portions that feel familiar, with a few characters and monsters making return appearances. The Horadric historian, Deckard Cain, is back and guided me through the game with interesting bits of lore about the races and monsters I encountered throughout. There was something reassuring about hearing that gravelly voice again. But, about half way through the game, the story pace quickened, speeding up my heart rate as I frantically battled wave after wave of hellspawn, even as friendly soldiers died around me. The adrenaline rush of making it through that part of the game is something I don't often feel these days, and it made me anticipate the end game even more.
Followers add a nice twist to the familiar parts of the game. At different story points, I met characters who traveled with me for a time, helping me battle enemies, while sharing their stories and adding to the ambiance and lore of the game. The Templar, Enchantress and Scoundrel each have varied backgrounds and back stories. They also provided additional firepower and skills to assist me in the completion of my goals, although they weren't nearly powerful enough to keep me alive through a stupid mistake. Their witty, and at times comical, banter with me while traveling provided some levity in the otherwise dark moments of the game and I actually found myself as interested in what made them tick as I was in following the main story plot. Even the blacksmith and the jeweler, who you encounter later in the game, have stories and wisdom. I found myself using the talk option with those characters almost as often as that to craft new gear or upgrade the gems I had found.
Combat is a fairly simple matter, with only two mouse buttons and four hotkeys to worry about. Skills can be modified with runes and hotkeys reassigned with relative ease, so it is easy to test different combinations in combat without having to unlearn skills. I only ran into trouble when I was overwhelmed by numbers or tried to go toe-to-toe with a group of mobs or a boss when I should have been kiting or moving to wait for a skill cool down. In fact, some of the boss fights were easier than the Champion groups or Elite individual mobs I ran into while exploring.
At no point in the game did I get a sense of been-there, done-that to the point of tedium, at least in my initial run through the game. Once you pick up a different class, or choose to go through the game at the next difficulty level, that feeling can creep up, but by virtue of the random generation of dungeons and encounters, a new play though is never exactly the same. And each class has new skills to learn and new angles from which to view the story as a participant observer.
The only spot where the randomness caused a problem is the magic gear dropped from monsters, or the magic imbued on crafted items I was able to create at the blacksmith. There are so many stats and abilities that can be placed on items that finding one suited to my needs was fairly easy, but I found that I could never get a rare item that didn't have a wasted stat or two. I was able to complete the game with relatively few deaths, but heading into Nightmare difficulty demanded an upgrade in gear and that was something that wasn't easy to do under the find-and-equip or create-and-equip system in the game.
Enter the auction house (AH), a new addition to the Diablo franchise and plundered from World of Warcraft because of its success as almost a game unto itself. At first, I found the AH a bit awkward. Trying to find items specifically suited to my class with no wasted stats was cumbersome, but the more I played with it and found how to refine my searches, it became a bit easier, to the point that I was able to upgrade my gear so much (at relatively bargain prices) that I am now navigating Nightmare difficulty with relative ease. The Auction House still has some minor issues as bids and buyouts can timeout, which apparently occurs when a buyout is attempted on an item that is being purchased by someone else and the server is processing the request. Blizzard continues to play with it and, at this writing, the AH is down for maintenance.
While Diablo III had well-documented server problems and error messages early in the launch--keeping me out of the game for at least the first few hours--things have stabilized significantly. But the fact that the game must always be connected to the Internet to satisfy Blizzard's need for DRM is frustrating. I cannot play my single-player game if my Internet connection drops and there is nothing Blizzard will let me do about it.
That said, being online to connect with friends or strangers and play through the co-op mode has been entertaining, especially since the public game system pits you with people at your level and on the same quests you are trying to complete. I started grouping in Nightmare mode as the game's difficulty ramped up. It will probably be a necessity to group in the final two difficulty levels of Hell and Inferno since Blizzard continues to tweak the balance of the game with hotfixes. One "fix" in particular significantly impacted my monk's self-healing ability so that it is a bit tougher to get through long fights. For me, a partner has become almost a foregone conclusion.
Diablo III is one of those rare games where its faults are easily forgiven because it is so easy to forget about them amidst the abundance of things the game does right. Blizzard was smart in not messing with success by radically redesigning and instead refining it to the point of exhilaration. Now excuse me while I go back to my Nightmare to prepare for Hell. (Follow my monk's travels in our Diablo III diaries).

Astros' inner-office database suffers security breach
Updated On: Jul 01 2014 08:55:14 AM MDT
The Houston Astros on Monday acknowledged that an inner-office database called "Ground Control" was illegally hacked by an external source, with the contents from a 10-month stretch detailing multiple trade proposals posted online at Anonbin and published by Deadspin.
The Astros were made aware of the security breach a month ago with general manager Jeff Luhnow announcing that the FBI is investigating the matter. Luhnow also noted that while some of the information published was an accurate reflection of conversations between his front office and other organizations, some of the material was fabricated.
"It's unfortunate," Luhnow said. "Some of it like I said is not accurate and there's information out there that affects other teams and individual players that's not accurate. And just in general when you have a conversation with another team, it's a conversation between two individuals or two clubs. It's not meant to be shared with the world.
"So I feel bad about that. I've been on the phone with other teams expressing my apology and letting them know what happened and that's about all I can do at this point."
Luhnow offered levity, joking that current conversations are being transcribed with pencil on paper, but he didn't shy from the seriousness of the events and the measures taken to not only reach out to other clubs but to the Houston players that were referenced in the documents.
"I've talked to the players that are here and I think they understand what happened," Luhnow said. "The reality is that a lot of players are discussed all the time and it's part of the nature of our industry. It doesn't mean that things happen all the time with regard to those players. It doesn't mean that you don't want or value those players, but you're always checking to see what's out there and if you were to move a player what you might get back. Those conversations happen all the time. They just don't get documented and published all the time."
