Cardinals signed catcher Jason LaRue, who had been with the Royals, to a one-year, $850,000 contract.
I didn't think LaRue commanded that much of a contract, even at $850 thousand.

Glad it wasn't the Reds.

Redhook- I couldn't agree more! We already have a catcher that has a tough time hitting
.200 or better. Went over to one of the Cardinals forums (this one at MLB's Cardinals website-fan forums) and for the most part the Cards fans were pleased to add LaRue as a backup because of his arm/defense. I think I read LaRue threw out something like 16 of 40 base-runners last year. Must be that the Cards don't have a catcher in the minors that they want to have occupy the bench most of the time behind Yadier Molina. One KC fan wrote in to say that LaRue's hitting will frustrate the heck out of you. We all know that too well!
They got ripped off. What bet did they lose to make this deal?
-LTlabnerIf you can't build a winning team with that core a fire-sale isn't the solution. Selling the franchise, moving them to Nashville and converting GABP into a used car lot is.
I would take Larue at $850k over Ross at $2.8mil every day.
Moeller's still available! :
He was picked up by the Cardinals for his ability to throw runners out.
You can't be serious. The only quality LaRue had was throwing out base runners, period. He is a horrible catcher, and just as bad at calling a game. When was the last time an MLB catcher used his mitt like a trash can lid trying to trap a mouse, on pitches in the dirt!?!? I agree, Ross is over-paid, but he can catch, call a game, throw runners out, and hit a few HRs.
I'm not a Jason LaRue fan at all but from what I read at the Cardinals forum I mentioned above, Jason LaRue was the catcher who caught 5 out of the 6 shutouts Royals pitchers had last year. Didn't research it. Just what I read.
As far as Ross goes, I'm hoping he returns to his 2006 form. I think he can hit 20+ homers again IF he can get that swing of his corrected. Aside from the salary difference, I take Ross over LaRue any day. Ross is a better all-around catcher than LaRue ever thought of being. Just my opinion.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Tell your wife before you have sex with a man
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I used to be a great husband. Now I am a lousy, lying husband. Last year a new man came to work in our office and he's bisexual. He's also married. Over the last year we have worked closely on a lot of projects and I have started to like him a lot. I know he has feelings for me, too. This week, we stayed late again, although neither of us had to. We went out for dinner, then went back to the office and I had a bottle in my desk. We have never had sex/made love, and we didn't that night either, but we talked about our feelings at the end of many drinks and we are both on the same page.
I thought my wife, whom I met in high school, was the only person in the world I could love. Now I love two people of two different sexes. The guy at work is younger. He says he will never tell his wife, or leave her. I am sick about this and don't know what to do. My wife and I have no children. If I tell her about this, it will break her heart. -- Rotten Husband, Winnipeg
Dear Rotten Husband: Run this forward in your mind. Let's say you decide against an affair with this man but you need to get away from him. Do you stop working together? Try to bury it? What if you can't? Here's the thing: your wife really deserves to know if you're going to continue being with him and getting sexually/emotionally involved, too. You have probably distanced yourself from her because of it. You know you're working a lot to be near him. She will be wondering what is going on. It would be better to tell her now, before things develop sexually with this male partner. That would be in keeping with the vows you made. To be honest and true means telling the person sharing her life with you what you are struggling with, especially when it involves her life decisions. If any readers have dealt with this, please write in with your experience and advice.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I ate like a mad fool and then went and up-chucked so I wouldn't get fat. My husband followed me to the bathroom door and heard what was going on. He yelled through the door, "I know what you're doing! You're purging. That's not dieting -- that's killing yourself!" After I came out he screamed at me like my mother.
I picked up a few clothes and went to stay with my sister. She struggled with bulimia as a teen. Now I'm married to a guy in the fashion industry surrounded by skinny models. What am I supposed to do? He likes thin women and we both know it. I can't pig out and get away with it as I gain weight so easily. Please help. -- Rock and a Hard Place, River Heights
Dear Rock: You need couples counselling at this point, together and apart. Your husband married you, not one of the thin people in his working world. There's a good reason for that. You and he need to get all this out on the table so he knows the pressure you feel and that you think you have to keep yourself thin in order to continue having his love and admiration. This could be totally wrong, or it could be right. If it's right you have to decide how much longer you want to stay in relationship like that. Eating and purging robs you of the nutrients you need for your body.
Your sister, if she's totally recovered, could be helpful to you if you're willing to listen. She, as well as your doctor, will have some resources and ideas on who would be the best person for you to see, based on your personality. It is definitely time to see a specialist in this area.
Please send your questions or comments c/o email@example.com or mail letters to Miss Lonelyhearts c/o Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave., Winnipeg, MB, R2X 3B6

Together BR will hold meeting to address 'grocery gap'
Baton Rouge, LA (NBC33) — On Monday, July 28th, at 6:30pm, Together Baton Rouge is holding a public meeting to share the policy recommendations arising from the work of the EBR Food Access Policy Commission, a joint project of Together Baton Rouge and the Mayor's Health City Initiative. The Commission was launched in February 2013 to examine the problem of the lack of grocery stores in several communities throughout East Baton Rouge Parish and what can be done to address that problem.
More than 75,000 residents of East Baton Rouge Parish, nearly 20% of the city-parish population, live in neighborhoods categorized by the US Department of Agriculture as having "unacceptably low access" to grocery stores. Living in "grocery gap" communities has been demonstrated to have a strong correlation with obesity, unhealthy eating, higher costs for food and a strong downward pull on neighborhood economic development.
"It's been obvious for a long time that food access is a significant problem in our community," said Edgar Cage, a leader with Together Baton Rouge and a member of the Food Access Policy Commission. "With the analysis and recommendations coming out of this Commission, we're finally getting to a place where we can start taking action to address the problem head on."
The meeting Monday evening will initiate a large-scale community engagement process around the Commission's recommendations, including policy-makers, the faith and civic community, the business community and the public at large.
For media inquiries, please contact Edgar Cage at (225)274-5808.
About the EBR Food Access Policy Commission
The EBR Food Access Policy Commission is a joint project of Together Baton Rouge and the Mayor's Healthy City Initiative. The Commission is part of the Fresh Beginnings Grant funded by the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana Foundation, a project also encompassing the BREADA Red Stick Mobile Farmers Market, the Redevelopment Authority's Healthy Corner Store Initiative and expanded physical education equipment and training in four North/Old South Baton Rouge schools.
Mission of the Food Access Policy Commission:
1) To examine the causes behind food deserts and food access problems in East Baton Rouge Parish,
2) To determine best practices around the nation for addressing low food access, and
3) To develop a concrete set of policy and practice recommendations for EBR to address food deserts and low food access.
Commission members: Dr. Adell Brown, Jr., Southern AgCenter, Susannah Bing, EBR Redevelopment Authority, Clint Caldwell (Supervalu Inc.), David Gray (Louisiana Budget Project), Ed Johnson (Wal-mart), Edgar Cage (Together Baton Rouge), Jared Smith (Baton Rouge Area Chamber), Dr. Kenneth Koonce (LSU AgCenter), Leroy Watts (Liberty Bank), Mike Manning (Greater BR Food Bank), Rev. Jesse Bilberry (4th District Baptist Association), Dr. Stephanie Broyles (Pennington Biomedical) and Ty Harvison (Latter & Blum)

By now, most business owners have used or at least have heard about cloud computing, However, with the advent of mobile technology and the rapid increase in the number of mobile users, the need for mobile cloud computing is increasing fast. Before adopting this new technology for your own business needs, it is important to understand the pros and cons of mobile cloud computing.
There are several advantages of using cloud computing for mobile devices, including;
Flexibility: One of the major advantages of mobile cloud computing is that you can access your data from anywhere in the world, using any mobile device . It does not matter where you are, as long as you connected to the internet you can access both applications as well as data from your mobile device.
Real time data availability: Another advantage of mobile cloud computing is that you can get access to real time data, whenever you want and wherever you want. Given that the data and applications are managed by a third party, updating your data as well as accessing it in real time is easily possible. Moreover, it can be accessed by multiple persons simultaneously.
Multiple platforms: Unlike traditional applications, mobile cloud computing allows for multiple platform support. In other words, whatever the platform may be, you can easily access the data and applications stored in the cloud.
No upfront costs: In most cases, cloud applications have minimal or no upfront cost. It is very much a pay-for-use service which has helped to grow adoption of the model, especially for SMBs. Without hefty fees for licensing and upgrades, the cost of adoption is less of a barrier when cash flow is an issue.
Where there are advantages, there are disadvantages as well. Here are some of the main disadvantages of using this technology:
Security: One of the major concerns with cloud computing is the security of data. Often mobile users will provide sensitive information through the network, and if not protected, can lead to major damages in the case of a security breach.
Performance: Another major concern with mobile cloud computing is with regard to its performance. Some users feel performance is not as good as with native applications. So, checking with your service provider and understanding their track record is advisable.
Connectivity: Internet connection is critical to mobile cloud computing. So, you should make sure that you have a good one before opting for these services.
Mobile cloud computing, despite the various disadvantages, is the way of the future. Many traditional desktop application vendors like Microsoft and Adobe have already adopted cloud computing models to meet the demands of the market. As adoption increases, the technology behind security and performance is also improving.
Therefore, understanding the pros and cons of mobile computing for your specific business needs, will allow you to make a decision which will benefit you and your employees.

We'll win the League Cup for suspended Matic, says Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic
Branislav Ivanovic today said the entire Chelsea squad are all determined to win the Capital One Cup Final for suspended team-mate Nemanja Matic on Sunday.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes Tottenham players use dirty tactics to get opponents booked and urged them not to ruin the Capital One Cup Final by doing the same thing on Sunday.
Brendan Rodgers confident Liverpool fluidity will come
Manager Brendan Rodgers is confident Liverpool will be able to produce more of the kind of fluid football this season that made them such a force last term and has backed them to show their creativity in Monday's Barclays Premier League clash with Manchester City.
The Reds' 2014-15 top-flight campaign got under way last Sunday with a 2-1 home win over Southampton, a result Rodgers felt his men had had to "grind out".
Certainly, it was not a performance akin to those they were putting on for much of the conclusion to 2013-14, in which they fell just agonisingly short of claiming the Premier League title.
Since then, Liverpool have lost the services of Luis Suarez - scorer of 31 goals last term - and brought in a raft of new players, with AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli looking set to add to that.
But despite all the change and the fact that many of his squad came into pre-season off the back of playing at this summer's World Cup, Rodgers is sure the Merseyside outfit's old potency will return.
Reflecting on the Southampton victory, the Northern Irishman said: "We were certainly delighted to start with a win.
"I was very, very pleased and very happy we won the game.
"Of course, we will perform better and that fluidity will get better as the season goes on. You have to understand a lot of players are coming back late."
City scored 102 goals on their way to being crowned Premier League champions last term, while runners-up Liverpool notched 101.
Their encounters during the season saw City win 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium - the venue for Monday's match - before Liverpool triumphed 3-2 at Anfield.
And while expecting a close battle this time around, Rodgers also anticipates there being plenty of creative attacking play in the game, even given how early on it is in the campaign.
Asked if he thought Monday's contest would be a cagey one, Rodgers said: "I don't think so.
"I think the nature of both teams is the offensive game, but of course they're normally tight games.
"If you look at both sets of players, there's lots of invention and creativity in the team. I think both will be creative and want to score goals.
"We know we need to be compact and solid when we haven't got the ball, and we need to be aggressive and press well.
"We know we have the freedom, movement and pace that can hurt teams. We understand it's early on, but it'll be a good game for sure."
One thing Rodgers was particularly pleased about with regard to the Southampton game was the character his players demonstrated to come through and emerge with the win.
He feels it is down to the sense of team spirit at Liverpool, something he has been keen to emphasise that no incoming player - such as maverick Italy frontman Balotelli - will disrupt.
Rodgers said: "I think the atmosphere and the ambience around the team is very, very good.
"It's been a key marker for us. When people look at the team, as well as the qualities, our team spirit is very strong, and it is something that got us through the game last weekend - that character, resilience and spirit.
"Maybe early on you didn't really see that, but I think you see that now in the team - that if we are not playing so well, we still want to fight and work.
"You do that when the team is close and the squad is close. Ultimately that will get you results."
Balotelli will not be able to feature against his old club City on Monday even if his proposed transfer goes through before the game as it needed to have been completed by midday on Friday for him to be eligible, but there could be debuts for summer signings Lazar Markovic and Alberto Moreno.

Okay...so just recently I bought a 5 gallon glass carboy from my LHBS and as I was trying to clean it I found a particle stuck to the inside. Upon further inspection I noticed that the particle wasn't just stuck, but it was actually half inside/half outside the glass on the inside of the carboy...like it had been manufactured that way. I am not sure what it is, but it is hard and pretty small otherwise I would have noticed it at the LHBS shop. Do you guys think this particle will cause any infection problems during fermentation? Will it collect bacteria similar to the way that a large scratch would on a plastic fermenter?
demand a quality product and take it back, the LHBS will get credit from their distributor.
Agreed +1.
I lost the receipt...so if they don't take it back maybe I will just use it and if I have trouble then pitch it.
Buy another one and return the old one after 2 days as the new one then you'll have 2 good ones...
Well they should take you at face value, imo if they want a good customer relationship. It's not like you are in there every day saying "oh hey this is defective"....
The glass carboys from Mexico are suicide bombs in my opinion. The new ones even with Brewhaulers , milk crates and other containment devices will fracture shock ( break not from being dropped just from the weight of the liquid moving around as it is moved when filled and when moving. As a Chemist I have not broke a single piece of glass wear in 12 years including micro thin pipettes, vacuum tubes, flasks... , yet I broke 2 glass carboys in 2 weeks ( I did contain them in padded plastic bins that contained the entire carboy as I did not trust them - NOT Milk Crates which offer no protection from this phenomena ). If you want to go glass get the older better quality carboys. I went to a better bottle system, just easier.. lighter.. etc.
Veritas vos Liberabit
Yeah...so I returned the carboy and they did an even exchange. Even though this sounds fair, the carboy that I got in return also had many negligible imperfections in the glass. One of them was similar to the imperfection the original carboy had. Its seems like the carboys from Mexico are really cheap! If anyone can find a really good private supplier let me know becuase I think most LHBS sell the same ones.

Thank you, Daily Globe, for your news article on the three people recently charged for torturing that poor black lab dog to death in Jackson County.
The dog had been left tied outside without access to shade or water and as a result, suffered a terrible death.
I hope you will post photos of the criminals so they can be publicly shamed for what they did.

Repression Stepped Up Linked to Coming May "Election"
General elections in Ethiopia have proved as fruitful as milking the bull. The noted 2005 election led to the defeat of the ruling regime but it decreed martial law, shot some 223 people dead, rigged the election, jailed thousands of opponents and carried on business as usual. Every election time that comes the repression intensifies. It is no different this time as the May general election approaches.

Italian police arrest Eritrean gang who smuggled migrants
Ten suspected migrant smugglers were arrested on Wednesday in Italy and Germany, including the alleged ringleader behind a treacherous journey that killed an estimated 244 people off the coast of Libya in June.
The alleged human traffickers, who were picked up in an operation called Tokhla, were all Eritrean. They were charged with conspiracy and aiding illegal immigration. An 11th Eritrean was arrested for harbouring the migrants.

I read the other review, saying that these jeans run 2 sizes too big. I normally wear a 26 (27 on a bad day!), so I ordered one size down, to 25. They are tight in the waist!! I am 5'3", 110, size 2, average shape. The legs fit well (the fabric is stretchy), the length is good, but the waist gives me muffin top, which sucks. Overall, the jeans are fine, but if I had paid full retail price I would be disappointed. If you're between sizes, order down, but don't go down further than that!

I LOVE these jeans!!! But beware- I am usually a 26/27 and I was a 24 in these!!! They run large and they stretch a lot!! But they are super comfortable and flattering!

You'll get a kick out of this!
February 22, 2008, 04:08:04 PM »
A few months ago I learned that Williams-Sonoma in Annapolis, Md. was hosting a cooking class that would include pizza-making among various other Italian specialties. Well, being a displaced Long Islander living in Maryland still trying to recreate my hometown pizza places' pies, I thought I'd give it a shot. Pizza was the only reason my wife and I attended this class ... and, you'll understand why I will never attend a cooking class at Williams-Sonoma again after reading this.
So, here I am sitting through a session with a bunch of soccer moms and the "chef" (a pastry chef, nonetheless) decides to take a break from making an awful tomato sauce that she must have picked up from Rachel Ray and started getting ready to prepare a pizza.
This wasn't gonna be just any ordinary pizza ... it was gonna be a real "gourmet" pizza with all the fancy fixins! Then, the well-schooled chef goes under the table and into the refrigerator to pull out her ingredients and what to my amazement did she pull out but a bag of dough from Trader Joe's!
I literally spoke out loud and said (heckled her), "You've gotta be kidding me!" She explained to me that she had a busy day and didn't have time to make fresh dough, but the store-bought dough was just as good. Let me remind you that the classes at Williams-Sonoma aren't cheap, and that we made "reservations" for the class well in advance to learn how to cook authentic, homemade, gourmet recipes -- not semi-homemade like you'd find on Sandra Lee's Food Network show. And, we all know that pizza dough can last a few days in the fridge if you prepare it in advance.
Here's the best part ... the chef prepares the fake-and-bake pizza and throws it in the oven and continues on with the rest of the class. There's about 45 minutes left at this point. I know for a fact she put it in the oven at 500-degrees on a semi-warm pizza stone, and that means it's gonna take no more than 8-minutes to cook.
Well, this was my chance at payback and boy was it good. About 8 minutes went by and I'm wondering when she's going to check the pizza. A few more go by and I'm thinking, "Way to go expert (pastry) chef! You're gonna burn that pizza and I'm happily gonna let you do it."
About 25 minutes after she put the pizza in the oven, I could smell something burning and so did she, though she wasn't going acknowledge the pizza was ruined. Then, she jumps and says, "Oh, it looks like our pizza is ready." Yea, as-if ... It came out burnt and the cheese was completely browned-over. She then made some excuse saying you could cook it to your desired preference, but she likes her pizza well-done, which was quite an understatement, but served her right for using store bought dough at a Williams-Sonoma "gourmet" cooking class. I was equally amused when she sliced her crunchy pie and served up samples, which didn't seem to appeal to the palates of her "students."
Maybe I'll go back when they teach people how to bake fancy desserts and find her with a tube of cookie dough and a box of brownie mix. Chances are, that was the last cooking class I'll ever attend at Williams-Sonoma. I wonder if the pastry chef hosts the "sushi-making" class, too?
Last Edit: February 22, 2008, 04:11:22 PM by NYKnicks
There's a pizza place near where I live that sells only slices. In the back you can see a guy tossing a triangle in the air. - Stephen Wright

For all the gaudy individual numbers and All-Star appearances, here is the final decision on the Kevin Love era in Minnesota: He was not a defender, not a team guy and not a winner.
Whether LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers are getting something different has yet to be determined, but there will be no shortage of attention on whether Love can overturn those three verdicts in Cleveland.
No shortage of opportunity, either, given that Love won't have to do more than play a supporting role next to James with Kyrie Irving on the pumped-up Cavaliers. For some perspective, the next-best players on James' last Cleveland team in 2009-10 were Mo Williams and Antawn Jamison. Each one scored 15.8 points per game but was statuesque while Mike Brown jiggled up and down the sidelines begging for more on defense.
Love is at his best on defense standing still, in solo post defense or obviously boxing out, but his hunger for personal stats was a fundamental problem with the Timberwolves team he was supposed to lead in a far more meaningful way. After all these years, it's safe to say he's not that guy and isn't becoming that guy—and it should be even more obvious by now that this sort of trade using Love's inflated statistical value was overdue for Minnesota if it wanted to have any chance at winning.
So should Love be praised or bashed for accepting that and moving on to the cushy life of grand possibilities as a LeBron cast member?
Well, Love should be praised or bashed based on how he handles the new challenges that come with the supporting role.
Even if everyone in Cleveland will be thrilled to have him, given his willingness to sign long-term in a locale nearly as desolate as Minneapolis, let's be clear that there will be expectations on Love: He is the biggest of the three in the basic physical sense, so he absolutely has to defend.
That means more than rebounding, as Love has been perfectly happy doing in lame, losing efforts for Minnesota, with no one ever noticing what he's doing except a couple highlights en route to that nightly double-double with threes to boost a fantasy basketball league team toward its title.

It means Love must grow his game to protect the paint better, maybe even at the rim every once in a while, because the Cavaliers are going to need him to be a key cog in team defense to outdo the Chicago Bulls. Cleveland's roster with Anderson Varejao is a lot like Minnesota's with ground-bound Nikola Pekovic—unable to close off the defensive paint if Love isn't going to do it.
Love isn't capable of playing the sort of scrambling, swarming, court-covering defense that Chris Bosh gave James in Miami, so the question becomes how Love is going to avoid being a major minus in a need position for James in Cleveland (where Irving has already proved to be another major minus on defense).
Love doesn't help properly and hasn't cared enough to reprioritize his energy allocation over the years. It's an easy excuse to make that Love has had to save his energy for offense after David Kahn wasted top draft picks on Jonny Flynn in 2009 and Wesley Johnson in 2010. Irving in Cleveland has had the same convenient excuse, which is why it'll be fascinating to see if those two All-Stars are willing and able to evolve into standout winners who do the little things the way Derrick Rose is already promising Bulls fans.
Love overcame a slow start to become a nice complementary player for USA Basketball in the 2012 London Olympics. He felt emboldened enough after winning the gold to promise a Timberwolves playoff berth in 2012-13, his fifth NBA season.
Despite a strong coach guiding the squad in Rick Adelman, it didn't happen—Love got injured again and played only 18 games for a team that overrated the acquisitions of Brandon Roy and Andrei Kirilenko.
Last season, the Timberwolves were sort of the same team as every other year with Love, going 40-42. As usual, Love wasn't dominant to the point of commanding double-teams to carry the offense at pivotal moments. Even though he was a little better, he again failed to carry the Timberwolves to the playoffs.
Minnesota fans and management saw the truth: There was no outcry for Love to stay, no campaign to keep him in town.
Love did his individual thing well enough to make every club with 2015 salary-cap space salivate that he still might be a top-five talent (instead of just David Lee with a three-pointer) who is frustrated and talented enough to be the ideal target to jump.
Indeed, Love has jumped at the chance—although he did it early, showing that like Carmelo Anthony in 2011, he did care about the money. Per the extension Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting has been agreed upon, Love is getting about $26 million more guaranteed via his old Timberwolves contract in Cleveland, at the expected expense of top prospects Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett and a 2015 first-round pick.
But the more suitable comparison for now is Dwight Howard's trade to the Los Angeles Lakers, where Howard was expected to make instant magic next to Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Steve Nash. As gorgeous as it looked on paper and on Sports Illustrated's "Now This Is Going to Be Fun" cover—and as much as health challenges limited those star-studded Lakers—Howard's winning intangible, or lack thereof, was revealed in a big way to Bryant, Gasol and Nash.
And Howard did way more winning in Orlando than Love ever managed in Minnesota.
Love has much to prove about his winning intangible now—especially to James.
Love is a fantastically skilled player whose NBA-playing dad taught him well to get his, and he comes into this situation with all kinds of potential. Maybe his skills and his mentality just work better next to guys who know how to win.
And for the record, Howard was on much better behavior in Houston after he chose the Rockets as his path, even if the results haven't come. Love is going to be invested in Cleveland as his choice and should be trying his best to show James his worth.
Love could seize a golden opportunity at a head start on the goodwill as a great teammate: He could unite with Irving and rejoin USA Basketball for the Aug. 30 FIBA World Cup (the trade to the Cavaliers can't occur officially until Aug. 23, by NBA rule) and offer the national team's frontcourt a big lift in the wake of Paul George's devastating injury.
Odds are, Love will instead just sit it out, pass on the chance to build chemistry on top of his work in Irving's past "Uncle Drew" Pepsi Max commercials and look out for himself again.
Love has a long way to go in proving he is the NBA's latest Pau Gasol, not good enough to avoid losing alone but completely ready to sacrifice for Spain, the Lakers or whomever to maximize whatever chance he has to win.
If Love is really a winner, contrary to all previous evidence, it will be revealed very soon.
If not, though, LeBron's feel-good route to redemption may never be completed.

Was playing with my cat and a laser pointer the other day, and thought that would be a fun thing to do with a robot. I've got the laser pointer... heck, you can buy them almost anywhere. What I need is the correct sensor to mount on the robot to let it detect the laser dot on whatever surface it happens to be. What sensor can I use to detect a laser dot on a remote surface? And though the dot could be close by, let's open it up a little and allow for distance detection, too.Any suggestions?

Excess Flem/ Mucus during Workout ??? |
topic by NcAlien - 11-19-2009, 05:19 PM
I workout quite frequently 4x a week taking days to rest ect, etc I have been lifting seriously for about 4-5 years now. Recently I have been noticing during my workout that Flem or Mucus like from chest congestion always comes up between sets ? I am not sick and eat what i would consider to be a healthy diet, take vitamins and drink excess amounts of water. If it matters im 6'0 ~200lbs depending on the time of day Any Ideas ? If you are going to awnser please make it somewhat intelligent and provide source is possible |
11-22-2009, 08:50 AM | away - #2 |
are you drinking protein shake before workout? will cause this
| |
11-22-2009, 05:38 PM | away - #3 |
do you smoke? when i used to smoke and workout id be breathing hard and my mouth would water
| |
11-22-2009, 05:48 PM | away - #4 |
Im in the Medical field and I would first tell you that my advice is just for knowledge purposes only you should always consult your Dr.
Sometimes we turn a patient on their side and tap their back to release mucus stuck against the lungs walls and then coughed out(not all comes out of course). From what you are saying, it sounds to be about the same thing minus the taping but because of the physical force your body is creating, it could be enough to loosen that mucus. | |
11-22-2009, 07:12 PM | away - #5 |
could be alot of things not to sound nasty but wat color is it
cuz depending on which could be a viral infection check this out | |
11-23-2009, 05:24 PM | away - #6 |
OKay thanks yea, I dont smoke....Cigs that is :disdain2:
But Its not mucus upon further inspection today, this sounds weird as hell but i looked in the trash can i was spitting in and its not brownish/yellow like mucus but has the same consistency so I guess its time to ask a Doc Im surprised no one else has had this happen | |
11-23-2009, 09:47 PM | away - #7 |
The mucus coming from lungs is different from the mucus coming from the throat and up. When we;d collect specimens, wed have to wait til the morning to let it all built up over night. We can til the dif from whats what
| |
11-24-2009, 06:16 PM | away - #8 |
i spit shiit all day everyday. yokin trees for years.
interested to learn ways to clear it out tho. after i eat i always gotta spit some crap out. | |
12-04-2009, 02:41 PM | away - #9 |
that s**t is usually from smoking..anything.. im no doctor but i thinks its your lungs pushing up all the crap...stop smoking and do cardio and it may eventually go away

Music from this release
- Antwon: "Werk 4 Me" (via SoundCloud)
- Antwon: "3rd World Grrl" (via SoundCloud)
A little background on Antwon: the San Jose rapper reps thrash and Biohazard as the music of his youth, while his clips for "Helicopter" and "Living Every Dream" are rife with 90s-baby cinematography that suggests an equal amount of time given to "Yo! MTV Raps" and "Saved By The Bell." His buzzed-about mixtapes Fantasy Beds and End of Earth featured production from Salem and Pictureplane, and he's rapped over Suzanne Vega and Goldfrapp samples. In short, he's a perfect fit on Heems' Greedhead label; between himself, Le1f, Big Baby Gandhi, and others, it crosses nearly every racial, sexual, cultural, and aesthetic barrier and presents the most comprehensive picture of hip-hop's reach in terms of both fans and performers. But while In Dark Denim is certainly heartening in how it shows Antwon's various eccentricities to have currency and mass appeal on the whole, like too many of his peers, his multifaceted personality strains to compensate for his deficiencies as an actual recording artist.
Though he slots into whatever internet-rap zeitgeist of 2013 you can think of, when Antwon makes multiple namechecks of Sex Style, it's worth remembering how much Kool Keith in his various guises appealed to the kids who were otherwise into punk rock. This is true in regards to prolificity and especially true in regards to scatology. If you're gonna be turned off on general principle by lyrics such as "sexiest nigga/ lesbian couples wanna solo/ tongue inside her pussy now she send me naked photos" or "I'll send you love letters when I fuck you on your period," you probably won't last five minutes.
Much to his credit, Antwon never strikes you as being needlessly repulsive; at best, he considers sexual congress as something of a quid pro quo and considering he'll throw in a goofy, heartfelt line like "and them titties are like the highlight of my weekend" during "3rd World Grrl", In Dark Denim comes off as wish fulfillment, more like a teen's giddy recount of his first time at a strip club rather than a jaded misogynist that sees it as a confirmation of a proper gender relations. Moreover, Antown's facility with hooks make "Werk 4 Me", "3rd World Grrl", and "Boomerang" sound like all-ages party starters even though they'd require chanting "three rounds in a row she gon' work for me/ pussy all wet, let it squirt for me" and "I bet that coochie tastes real good/ tight real nice for the boys in the summer."
While his various appetites have earned him comparisons to a multitude of overweight lovers, Antwon's hardcore past is very much evident in his vocals, an effective, one-note attack that's half playground bully, half class clown. Or, within the context of In Dark Denim's musty, Thrasher VHS production, something like Death Grips if they showered up and decided to write the vast majority of their songs about oral sex. There are times when Antwon gets into bleak sociopolitics and warrants similarities to his fellow Bay Area noise terrorists, but make no mistake, In Dark Denim is for the most part absolutely filthy, turning its title in an uncomfortable double entendre.
With that in mind, it's not surprising that guys like Cities Aviv and B L A C K I E lend their production efforts, as they share a similar, unshakeable conviction about the compatibility of punk-rock aesthetics with twerk-rap lyricism. But much like Aviv's most recent tape Black Pleasure, In Dark Denim appears to be the work of someone who values ideas at the expense of execution. Or, on a more mundane level, the actual listening experience of In Dark Denim is inexcusably flawed for Antwon's most high-profile release to date. For one thing, the mixing is atrociously muffled and off-balance, and rarely in a way that enhances the experience. Something like the volatile, Afrocentric "Burn Away" benefits from the clatter, but otherwise "1MillSnippet" and "Boomerang" sound like poor YouTube rips and gain nothing from the bouncing reverb and complete lack of bass. Meanwhile, Antwon's flow on "Still Guarded" is barely on speaking terms with its beat, an unfortunately fitting closer for a mixtape that simply sounds rushed as opposed to urgent.
Curiously enough, the tracks that delve into Antwon's darker past are the most underdeveloped. "Burn Away", "1MillSnippet", and "Rare 2000s" contain intriguing details-- talking shit to his parole officer, friends dying of meth addictions, nights at the local park-- but either cut off short or rely on outside sources to drive their point home. All things told, Antwon has the inverse problem of most rappers-- his persona is fully formed and he has a gift for choruses, it's every other part of the songwriting process that tends to get shortchanged. These are fixable problems, though. So while In Dark Denim is an occasionally fascinating look at an intriguing talent, that doesn't mean it's a success on its own terms.

When gasoline sold at record prices, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said, "I think it's time to say to these people, 'Stop ripping off the American people.'" When the average price of regular gas was close to $4 a gallon, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called for Congress to look into breaking up giant oil companies. The claim was that "Wall Street greed (was) fueling high gas prices."
On Monday, President Obama will unveil his proposed federal budget for 2016. Voters should be warned that virtually all the numbers reported in news coverage of the federal budget will be misleading at best.
This week marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Sir Winston Churchill, Britain's prime minister during World War II. Churchill took up painting as a hobby in 1915, after the Gallipoli debacle, where 46,000 allied lives were lost over nine months of the campaign. He went on to paint more than 500 paintings during his lifetime. As wartime prime minister, he took a break from painting, focusing instead on the task at hand - winning the war, no matter the cost.
Enthusiastic, entertaining, energized and eminent, President Obama's demeanor and delivery at the State of the Union belied his political reality. Unbowed, unbroken and possibly unaffected by the recent midterm Republican wave, Obama displayed his great skill by delivering an emotional teleprompter-driven speech that was a throwback to his first election. Varying tempo, pitch, passion and inflection, his speech was more a theatrical performance than a delivery of a prewritten, pre-released text.
Our 18-year-old granddaughter is living with us again as she goes to school, and I love having her. It reminds me of the time she was a baby living with us, and she was the love of my life - besides Molly, of course - and I took her everywhere. I packed her on my back as I covered meetings, we visited Disneyland every week, I decked her out in Disney clothes, we rode every mall merry-go-round in Southern California, we watched some of the most God-awful movies together - the adventures of Lava Boy being the worst - we enjoyed our evening walks ...
My first week of legislative "work" is complete, and it has been a whirlwind. It is hard to imagine how any person can meet so many people and deal with so many issues so quickly. Luckily, I have a very good mentor in former Representative Doug Holt who is helping me wade through the distractions.
Last week's column focused on the ways liberals use blacks in pursuit of their leftist agenda, plus their demeaning attitudes toward black people. Most demeaning are their double standards. It was recently reported that Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., the House majority whip, spoke at a 2002 gathering hosted by white supremacist leaders when he was a Louisiana state representative. Some are calling on Scalise to step down or for House Speaker John Boehner to fire him. There's no claim that Scalise made racist statements.
As members of the 114th Congress were sworn into office on Tuesday, their party affiliations described what happened last November: 246 of the 435 representatives and 54 of the 100 senators are Republican.
As we enter 2015, the politics of the president's health care law are little changed from last year or the year before, or any year since it was passed. The details change with the calendar, but year after year, the law remains a major drag on President Obama's popularity and legacy.
New Year's is the almost-perfect holiday (Christmas takes the blue ribbon). It's a combination of reflecting, celebrating or possibly just being glad of getting rid of the old year - while at the same time looking forward to the potential and possibilities of the year to come. It's the bridge between the past and present, where what has been done is over - but the future still looks bright, if a bit hazy.
I had just returned from the local toxic waste site where I had disposed of my holiday fruit cakes and was busy cramming my Christmas tree down the garbage disposal (don't ask), when I heard a knock at the door. I figured it was the Environmental Protection Agency coming to talk to me about polluting the toxic waste site with fruit cakes.
The rain this past week certainly has been a blessing as a good rain always is, but for newspaper people in circulation, inclement weather has always been one big pain in the rear.
It seems the Christmas holidays arrive a little earlier every year, thanks in part to retailers pushing to get every sale they can. This year we saw Christmas decorations out well before Halloween and a few communities have already put up Christmas decorations and turned on their Christmas lights.
Hallelujah! It's a word we've all heard, probably all used. Hallelujah! It's a word that means "Praise the Lord." You see it all over the place in the Old Testament as the people praised God when they saw one work of his or another. "Hallelujah" is what we're told we'll be shouting for all time in heaven, in the presence of our God we won't be able to keep from praising.
Are you asking yourself every day where has this year gone? It is now the middle of November. Thanksgiving is next week; Christmas, a little more than four weeks later, and New Year's less than a week after that.
We Americans have always been noted for our ability to have opposing political groups playing hardball politics while remaining civil and non-violent. When the campaigning, debating and voting was over, we returned to running the government and moving forward. The night time threats of physical violence to an opponent and his family was reserved for the banana republics and dictatorships. Sadly, some citizens of Newton County have recently displayed banana republic political behavior.

The lighting was dim and the air filled with the fragrance of carnations and roses last Friday night. The tiny baby lay there quietly, with perfectly round cheeks and a little button nose, like on all newborn faces. A knit cap covered his hair, a monogrammed blanket was tucked beneath his chin, and as I heard others remarking, that precious baby looked just like a porcelain doll displayed in a box.
Budget follies are in full swing in the nation's capital once again. Republicans, who agreed to automatic cuts a few months ago, are now trying to find a way to avoid defense cuts.
I'm going to take the opportunity this week to write a letter of thanks to our veterans.
I guess I'm just a Luddite, trapped in a world-gone-by, but I prefer old movies to most of the ones coming out now. While there are some really good movies - the Harry Potter series comes to mind - most of the new stuff is just too trashy for me. There's too much cussin', too much sex, and way too much irreverence being shown to the things I care about. But those old movies are different. There's something comforting about watching a movie that celebrates goodness and honesty and doesn't glorify evil. That might seem so old fashioned ...
The aging process is a strange thing.
A special work session of the Board of Commissioners of Newton County was held Monday night to determine the continuing status of the Administrative Assistant position and how that position would function and report. Up to this time the position held by Mr. Middleton reported directly to the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners Kathy Morgan. Chairman Morgan had full administrative power and singular control of the daily operations of Newton County.
I am still not quite sure whether it is the result of the open-heart surgery I had 13 years ago or the fact I have gotten older, but it seems that I can well up with uncontrolled tears these days due to the strangest things.
If only I could turn my thoughts to all that's pleasant this time of year. Aren't the trees just gorgeous? And what about these perfect, blue-sky days we've enjoyed?
Gov. Nathan Deal has once again overlooked my immense talents when making his governmental appointments. Seven former legislators have recently been appointed to high posts in the Deal administration. Why legislators? One observer told the Atlanta Newspapers that it helps to have had the experience of serving in the Legislature to understand the inner workings of government. I already understand the inner workings of government: Free "working trips" to Germany, eating off lizard-loafered lobbyists, never paying to see a ballgame and furloughing school teachers. I guess I'll stick to being a modest and much-beloved columnist where my inner working ...
