U.N. experts are ready to move into Syria immediately to investigate reported chemical weapons attacks but President Bashar Assad's government still has not approved their entry, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Monday.
Ban told reporters in The Hague that an advance team is already waiting on Cyprus while the U.N. negotiates "technical and legal" issues with Damascus.
All reports of chemical attacks "should be examined without delay, without conditions and without exceptions," Ban said. "The longer we wait, the harder this essential mission will be."
His comments appeared aimed at increasing the pressure on Assad's regime and ensuring that U.N. inspectors are given access to all sites of reported chemical weapons attacks in the country's bloody civil war and not just those that Assad's regime wants them to see.
Ban said it is "a matter of principle" to investigate all allegations and not just a case in which Syria alleges that the rebels used poison gas.
"I am hopeful we will be able to finish this as soon as possible, and I urge the Syrian government to be more flexible so this commission can be deployed as soon as possible," Ban said. "We are ready."
The U.N. says over 70,000 people have been killed in Syria's civil war since it began as an uprising against Assad's regime two years ago.
Syria asked the United Nations last month to investigate an alleged chemical weapons attack by the rebels on March 19 on Khan al-Assal, a village in northern Aleppo province. The rebels have blamed regime forces for the attack.
Syria is widely believed to have a large stockpile of chemical weapons, but it is one of only eight countries in the world that have not signed up to the chemical weapons convention. That means it does not have to report any chemical weapons to the Hague-based organization that monitors compliance with the treaty.
Britain and France have followed up by asking the U.N. chief to investigate allegations of chemical weapons use in two locations in Khan al-Assal and the village of Ataybah, in the vicinity of Damascus, all on March 19, as well as in Homs on Dec. 23.
The delay in getting to the scene of alleged chemical attacks will hamper investigators, said Amy Smithson, a chemical weapons expert with the Center for Nonproliferation Studies in the United States.
"It is going to make it a bigger challenge. But it doesn't mean you should throw in the towel," Smithson said in a telephone interview.
Investigators will likely go after two key sources of evidence - environmental samples and samples taken from survivors and possibly also victims of suspected chemical attacks.
"It's a site of hostilities, so when the environment has changed that makes it that much more challenging to get a clean environmental sample," Smithson said.
Ban was speaking at the headquarters of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in The Hague, which is sending a team of 15 experts to join the commission, along with World Health Organization staff.
The team is led by Ake Sellstrom, a Swedish professor who was a U.N. chemical weapons inspector in Iraq and now works at a research institute that deals with chemical incidents. Ban said he spoke to Sellstrom on Sunday night and he was now heading to join the advance party in Cyprus.

How would you like to be naturally lean, muscular and energetic? To effortlessly maintain a low body fat, rippling muscles and picturesque health?
Wow, sounds great doesn't it.  Well, Mark Sisson, author of "The Primal Blueprint†set out to do just that in his book.  I've been reading it the past few weeks trying to get a full grasp on what it entails. Â
In his words, "Modeling your 21st-century life after our primal hunter-gather ancestors will help you greatly reduce or eliminate almost all of the disease risk factors that you may falsely blame on genes you inherited from your parents.â€
Below I'm going to list the top 10 Blueprint laws and then break them down into MY three main laws that would drastically help everyone.
Here are The Ten Primal Blueprint Laws:
Law #1:Â Eat Lots of Plants and Animals
The bulk of the caveman diet is animal protein (organic, free-range, or wild sources of meat, fowl, and fish), a plethora of colorful veggies and fruits, and healthy fats (nuts, seeds, their derivative butters, certain oils, and avocados).
Law #2:Â Avoid Poisonous ThingsÂ
For the caveman this meant staying away from poisonous plants. For you this means staying away from sugars, sodas, chemically altered fats, processed, packaged, fried and preserved foods. It also means cutting out grains.
Law #3:Â Move Frequently at a Slow Pace
The caveman spent several hours each day moving around at a low-level aerobic pace. This helped develop strong bones, joints, and connective tissue.
Law #4:Â Lift Heavy Things
Frequent bursts of intense physical effort were a daily part of the caveman's life. Biochemical signals would be triggered that prompted improvements and adaptations in muscle tone, size and power.
Law #5:Â Sprint Once in a While
For the caveman a fast sprint meant the difference between being eaten and staying alive. Little did he know that those sprints were helping to increase his energy levels, improve athletic performance and minimize the effects of aging by promoting the release of testosterone and human growth hormone.
Law #6:Â Get Adequate Sleep
The rising and setting of the sun dictated the length of the caveman's day. For us things are a bit trickier. Adequate sleep helps the immune system work optimally, and promotes the release of hormones that enhance brain and endocrine function.
Law #7:Â PlayÂ
Without a TV or computer to entertain himself, the caveman would engage in hours of leisurely outdoor play. Relaxed play releases endorphins and provides a balance for mental stress.
Law #8:Â Get Adequate Sunlight
It's impossible to obtain adequate vitamin D from diet alone. Getting regular sun exposure allows for proper vitamin D production, critical for healthy cell function.
Law #9:Â Avoid Stupid Mistakes
Observation and self-preservation were key factors in the survival of a caveman. Today's world is full of distractions that leave us oblivious and careless. Take, for example, texting while driving.
Law #10:Â Use Your Brain
The human brain separates us from the animals. Intellectual stimulation is an important part of healthy brain function.
If you do nothing else, at least work towards these 3 bits of advice from the caveman—advice that will promote weight loss, decrease your risk of disease and will get you looking and feeling great.
1. Make Plants and Animals the Focus of Your Diet: This will quickly lead to weight loss and increased energy.  Don't be so hard on yourself that everything you put in your mouth has to be caveman approved – but make it the majority of your diet.
2. Cut Out Processed Food: The simplest way to promote weight loss and to encourage good health is to eliminate processed foods from your diet.  When you replace processed foods with fresh produce your results will be immediate.  Not only will you feel healthier, you will have more energy than you'll know what to do with!
3. Exercise: Since you will need an outlet for all that extra energy, acquire a new hobby—one that gets you moving.  Have you ever met a lazy caveman?  Of course not.  (And this is not just because you were born a few centuries too late!) Cavemen were forced to be active in order to survive.  Hunt dinner.  Build a fire. Move a fallen tree.  Create shelter.  You get the idea.  If you want a lean, muscular body then exercise must become a part of your daily life.
The most common argument I have staved off so far is, "why would I want to live like a caveman when their average lifespan was only 25 years old?â€Â  I did not research the references in his book nor have a looked up whether the facts are purely correct but Mark sites that averages can be skewed.  This was a time period where 65% of the population did not make it to age 5.  So, if 65% die at 5 and 35% make it to 62 the number is obviously skewed.Â

Hampton Union, November 25, 2011
[The following article is courtesy of the Hampton Union and Seacoast Online.]
HAMPTON — Selectmen will ask voters to support a reworked two-fire station proposal, though the cost exceeds their request for a $4 million plan.
The board voted Monday to support a $3 million substation at Hampton Beach, as well as Phase 1 of a two-phase $2.6 million project to construct administrative headquarters and an addition to the Winnacunnet Road facility.
The total cost is $4.65 million for the Fire Department projects that will go before voters at Town Meeting in March. Voters would be asked to support a second $1 million phase at an undetermined future date.
Selectmen Chairman Richard Nichols said the $4.65 million plan headed to vote in March 2012 is a little more expensive than the original $4 million target, but he said it's "manageable."
"I think we should move full-speed ahead," Nichols said.
Fire Chief Chris Silver said he still prefers the original $7.5 million two fire station plan that voters rejected at the 2011 annual Town Meeting.
However, Silver told selectmen Monday he can support the scaled-down phased approach for the Winnacunnet Road facility.
Silver's revamped plan comes after selectmen gave him a directive in August to go back to the drawing board to come up with a plan that would cost roughly $4 million.
His proposal was to move forward with the proposed new beach substation as presented to voters last year, with some minor adjustments.
The new substation would replace the century-old fire station on Ashworth Avenue.
Silver said the new proposed addition to the Winnacunnet Road station would be scaled down to half of what was originally proposed in 2010, which reduces the size of the new apparatus bays.
The Winnacunnet Road facility, he said, would be done in two phases and would retain the entire existing building constructed in 1978.
The first phase would be a $1.6 million addition to support the administrative offices and the department's dispatch center, which are currently at the beach. One of the goals of the two-fire station project was to move those functions out of the high-hazard area at the beach.
The second phase would include the addition of crew quarters and additional bay space.
Silver said he looked at other options at the board's request, but he could not support them.
One was in lieu of an addition to the Winnacunnet Road facility, the department could use a modular building to house the administrative offices.
The total cost to purchase such a modular building would be $125,000.
"I would not support this alternative because temporary solutions tend to become permanent," Silver said.
Silver said he also looked at the old Hampton District Court building.
The building, he said, was found to have a number of significant problems, and the renovation cost was estimated to be $800,000.
"I can't support a plan that suggests the use of a deteriorating building," Silver said. "It doesn't make sense to use funds on such an important capital project that would not serve the Fire Department's long-range needs."
Selectmen agreed with Silver's assessment.
Selectman Mike Pierce said he supports the chief's proposal of a phased approach to the Winnacunnet Road facility.
"I know he put a lot of work into the original plan, but it was just too much money," Pierce said. "This is significantly less, and the second phase can be put off for a little bit."
Selectman Jerry Znoj also supported the idea, but abstained from the vote, saying he wants a detailed report on spending associated with the project.
"I want to see the dollar bills associated with this expansion," Znoj said. "I want to know what's driving it."

The widget does everything I want with the exception of including the Bible Version after the reference. I know that I can get the version marking the Copy as Citation box. However, this changes the format altogether; quotes are added and the reference is put behind the verse.
What I would like to see is an option to just add the Bible Version behind the Text Reference, without the quotes and keeping the Reference in front of the Verse that is pasted.
I don't know if their would be enough demand to make this an option, but I thought I'd toss it out there for consideration.

(CNN) — A handful of key counties in the presidential battleground of Florida extended early voting on Sunday due mainly to heavy turnout.
President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney are running neck and neck in polls in the race to capture Florida's 29 electoral votes on Tuesday.
Polling places in Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, Hillsborough, and Pinellas counties were operating under extended hours to handle absentee balloting, the state's Democratic Party said in a statement.
Those areas acted to keep the doors open even though early voting technically ended statewide on Saturday.
Separately, a judge ordered a continuation of early voting at a Winter Park polling station in Orange County after a suspicious package was found there and disrupted the process on Saturday.
"We encourage registered voters in these counties to cast their ballots today," Scott Arceneaux, executive director of the Florida Democratic Party, said in a statement.
He also said it was "still our hope" that a judge would approve the Democrats' request early on Sunday for an injunction to force the state to keep polls going ahead of Election Day in Miami-Dade, Palm Beach and Broward counties even though two of them had already done so.
Their complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Miami said waits of up to seven hours in "many cases" over the weekend were the "result of polling facilities that are inadequate" to meet the needs of early voting. In some cases, lines "deferred or prevented" ballots from being cast, the complaint said.
Republican Gov. Rick Scott has refused earlier requests to extend early voting.
An Obama campaign official previously said that early voting in Leon County had been extended. Democrats later said that was not the case.

MOREHEAD, Ky. – Patrick Miller scored a career-high 38 points including the game-winning three-pointer with two seconds left to lead the Tennessee State men's basketball team to a 70-68 victory over Morehead State on Thursday night.
Miller was 12-of-19 (63.2 percent) from the field and made 4-of-5 triple attempts for his sixth 30-point game of the season.
M.J. Rhett was the only other Tiger in double figures, finishing with 12 points and four rebounds.
Tennessee State (5-24, 4-11 OVC) forced 17 turnovers, leading to 27 points. The Tigers only committed seven of their own.
Morehead State (19-11, 10-5 OVC) led 16-4 through the first seven minutes of the game, but TSU went on a 16-3 run to take the lead with six minutes to play before halftime.
The Tigers extended their lead to five at one point in the first period, but a Rhett free throw gave Tennessee State a 34-31 lead heading into the break.
A Kennedy Eubanks jumper at the 10:18 mark put TSU up by 14 and TSU held the advantage all the way up until MSU's Angelo Warner canned three free throws with 19 seconds to go to make the score 68-67 in favor of the visitors.
That set up Miller's timely three-pointer to give TSU its first two-game winning streak this season.
TSU shot 39.3 percent in the first half, but upped that to 50 percent in the second. Miller also made all four of Big Blue's threes during the final 20 minutes.
The Tigers will go for their third straight win on Saturday when they travel to Eastern Kentucky. Tip-off for that contest is scheduled for 7 p.m.

The Varkey Foundation
Every child deserves a vibrant, stimulating learning environment that awakens and supports their full potential.
According to UNESCO, around 57 million primary school–aged children are out of school along with more than 71 million lower-secondary school–aged children. And for those children who do attend a school in the developing world, a lack of trained teachers often acts as a barrier to learning.
The Varkey Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that builds new classrooms and centers of learning, addresses global teaching capacity and seeds excellence and innovation in the next generation of educators.
We also work in collaboration with likeminded organisations such as Dubai Cares, UNESCO and Oxfam. Through these partnerships we support a number of projects that aim to improve access to education worldwide.
The Varkey Foundation's projects include:
- Teacher training – developing skills required to improve pedagogy within the school to improve childrens' quality of learning.
- Improving school leadership in Kenya, Ghana and India - training 10,000 school principals in leadership and professional development with UNESCO.
- Building classrooms and rebuilding schools – creating safer and equipped learning environments for children in Kibera and Pakistan.
- Learning Resource Centers - building low cost, highly replicable science centers in rural India.
- Providing midday school meals- to improve access to education.

Lately I have been getting requests for tight pencils before developing finished vector lettering for a packaging project. The sketch process begins with very rough drawings. Best to start loose as refinement happens with a series of multiple sketch overlays. Eventually the top overlay gets rendered with markers, scanned and cleaned up in Photoshop.
This image shows the starting point of the sketch process to the final sketch before proceeding to vector lettering. There were 20 overlays involved in the sketch process of each version.
After review of the sketches one version was chosen for vector development. The final lettering was sent to the client who imported the paths to Photoshop and created this beautiful presentation comp.

This is a rather odd request ... but here goes.
I've had 'Akira' on VHS for years now and also I haven't watched it for a couple of years. But I remember this Manga Video (http://www.manga.com) intro sequence prior to the movie, with some anime clips and music and finally showing the 'Manga' or 'Manga Video' logo found in many/all VHS/DVD casings of anime movies.
So what I'm asking is that if anyone has Akira or any other 'Manga' anime DVD, please make a rip of that intro sequence for me and I will be enormously greatful!
Basically any format will do, and additionally just the audio (music) in WAV format would be greatly appreciated Most of all I'm interested in the music track but the video would be cool, too.
thanks in advance!

Every trail in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park offers beauty and worthy exploration, while every trail there also shows the devastation that still exists nearly a decade after the Cedar fire of 2003.
Combine part of the South Boundary Fire Road and the Blue Ribbon Trail to survey the ecological status of this historic land, where you'll also enjoy some long views.
Park in the East Mesa parking area off state Route 79 and cross the highway to begin on the South Boundary Fire Road. This wide dirt road, open to hikers, equestrians and mountain bikers (dogs are not allowed on state park trails), winds uphill from the highway a few hundred feet where you'll have fine views over the East Mesa of the state park. Look for Oakzanita Peak on that eastern horizon; this rocky point stands at 5,054 feet in elevation.
About halfway along the South Boundary Fire Road segment of this hike, the road makes a deep U-turn. As soon as you round the bend, you'll encounter the big western views afforded on this road. You can see a few layers of distant peaks to the west and a high-mountain meadow to the south, all past a deep green valley. On the other side of the ridge to the west is the Sweetwater River, which runs through the state park.
To the north and northeast are Cuyamaca and Stonewall peaks.
After 1.3 miles on the South Boundary Fire Road, the Blue Ribbon Trail (hikers and equestrians only) intersects on your left and heads down into that valley.
Most of this southern area of the park remains chaparral, and its shrubs are clearly making a comeback. Lots of manzanita, chamise, ceanothus, sugar bush and scrub oak seem to be thriving on the Blue Ribbon Trail. Look for the spring blooms of manzanita, chamise and ceanothus here in March and April.
Manzanita, chamise and scrub oak all resprout from their bases after a fire, and you'll see that evidence on this trail.
But most striking is the comeback of the coast live oaks. They are nowhere near what they once were here in Cuyamaca, but the burned trunks have clearly responded with new growth.
Virtually all the pines and other conifers throughout Cuyamaca, however, were killed by the 2003 conflagration that destroyed 95 percent of the 25,000-acre state park, and they don't resprout.
In 2008, American Forests partnered with California State Parks, Cal Fire and Conoco-Phillips to reforest Cuyamaca.
In that first year, 9,000 pine seedlings — mostly Jeffrey pines — were planted across 25 acres of the park, then 78,000 more seedlings in 2009 and 2010 over 331 acres. Plans still call for more planting over 2,500 acres over the next decade.
In spring 2010, the Cuyamaca Rancho State Park Reforestation Project became the first public land project to be listed in the Climate Action Reserve for offsetting carbon.
But local environmentalists and scientists disagree that part of that reforestation should involve the grinding, mastication and burning of acres of ceanothus to plant those trees.
This issue is ongoing, according to the California Chaparral Institute.
Despite attempts to remove it, ceanothus continues to resprout from its underground burls and germinates from new seedlings, according to the institute.
However, when it has just been removed, exposed soil becomes fertile for invasive weeds.
According to a study sponsored by California State Parks, two biologists from San Diego State University, Linnea Spears and Erin Bergman, studied ceanothus — particularly Palmer lilac — and its comeback in the fire-devastated park.
"On a landscape scale, I recommend no vegetation management of Ceanothus palmeri-dominated stands," Spears wrote. "Ceanothus is a nitrogen-fixing genus of California shrubs that serves an important ecosystem function, especially following fire in California's montane forests. These shrub stands will naturally thin over time … allowing establishment of conifers. Ceanothus is also known to be an intermediate host for mycorrhyzal fungi associated with conifer species and necessary for their survival."
Ceanothus — wild lilac — is also one of the great blooming beauties of Cuyamaca in the springtime, with various species sporting white or blue flowers.
Its leaves and twigs are food for deer and cottontail rabbits, while its seeds are consumed by birds and small mammals, including woodrats and squirrels.
After about 0.7 mile on the Blue Ribbon Trail, look for a trio of interesting cairns.
After about a mile on the Blue Ribbon Trail, it intersects with a trail that heads left (east) to a private property, while the trail itself continues to the right just another half-mile to its end at the Merrigan Fire Road. Turn back and retrace your route.
The state park and the Cuyamaca Rancho State Park Interpretive Association are discussing a proposal to rename the Blue Ribbon Trail in Jerry Schad's honor, the Cuyamaca Equestrian Association reported in October 2011.
Schad, who died at 61 in September 2011, wrote the seminal local hiking guidebook, "Afoot and Afield San Diego County."
"Other local agencies are also looking to rename other familiar hiking trails in his honor," said the association.
We'd like to hear if and when any of that happens to honor the late local hiking legend.

I've made six or seven attempts at getting this recap
If you didn't watch, I'm talking about Santana Lopez, who broke every expectation I had of what this
Is there anyone reading this who thought that would happen?
And it's not like this episode's gay was all girl-on-girl,
It's like this: Holly
Emma asks Holly why she doesn't think celibacy is a valid
Will laughed way too hard. Emma noticed.
Will stopped laughing when Holly said some of the Glee Club
Emma objects again, saying that kids don't need to be
So, for those who haven't been following every word I write
I didn't know what that meant, but I figured we'd get some
So, the next scene was, I thought, the "it" we'd
"Britt-Britt." That's just precious.
Before Santana can finish saying, "Your secret's safe
So, I thought that was it. I wasn't totally happy with it,
I was so wrong.

21st CENTURY GRANT
Robbinsdale Area Schools is applying for a 21st Century Grant. This federal grant is due June 1, 2017. Please direct any inquiries about the proposed grant to Kristine Wehrkamp, Executive Director of Community Education.
Minnesota school districts are annually required to inform residents and employees of the presence of asbestos-containing materials in their buildings. All Robbinsdale Area School buildings have been inspected for asbestos under the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) of 1986. Some asbestos-containing building materials were found in every building. A management plan has been submitted to the Minnesota Department of Education and is available at each school. A complete report for all district facilities is on file in the district's Buildings & Grounds Office. Asbestos-containing materials were commonly used in past years in commercial buildings as a fire retardant. In schools, asbestos was typically found in floor tile, ceiling tile, insulation and wraps of pipes and boilers. Such materials post a potential for asbestos fiber release only if the asbestos containing materials are disturbed in some way. Exposure to airborne asbestos has been found to relate to several forms of cancer. Nearly all materials in district buildings identified as containing asbestos have been removed with the completion of renovation projects in recent years. Those remaining are monitored for change or damage. Buildings are re-inspected by a certified asbestos inspector every three years and internally every 6 months. For more information about asbestos containment, contact the Buildings & Grounds department at 763-504-8138.
The Parent's Right to Know Law requires school districts to inform parents and employees about the use of pest control materials. Robbinsdale Area Schools utilizes licensed, professional service firms for the prevention and control of insects and rodents inside buildings while trained staff members prevent and control weeds on school grounds. All materials used are registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and are selected and applied according to label directions. The long-term health effects on children from the application of pest control materials, or the class of materials to which they belong, may not be full understood. An estimated schedule of interior pest control inspections, and possible
treatments is available for review at each school's office. A similar schedule is available regarding herbicides and other materials applied to school grounds. Parents may request to receive, at their expense, prior notification of any application of a pest control material should such an application be deemed necessary on a day different from those specified in the schedule. For more information about the use of pest control materials, contact your school principal or the Buildings & Grounds department at 763-504-8138.
Robbinsdale Area Schools has created a policy to proactively manage building operations, cleaning and maintenance that affect indoor air quality and the health of building occupants.

Prospectus: Last night's game at the Great American Ballpark was memorable because the Reds' 9-6 win over Pittsburgh featured the debut of Jay Bruce, the Baseball Prospectus 2008 No. 1 prospect. Bruce started in center field and had a spectacular first game at the plate, going 3-for-3 with two walks, two runs, and two RBI. Bruce became just the fourth batter since 1956 to reach base safely in all five of his plate appearances in his major league debut. The others were Kazuo Matsui with the Mets in 2004, Ted Cox with the Red Sox in 1977, and John Paciorek with the Colt .45's in 1963.
Bruce is batting 2nd again tonight. In fact exact same lineup as last night except for Ross catching.
To go with OBM's post above here are the most times a batter has reached time consecutively to start a career from John Fay's blog:
HOT STARTS: Here's a look at where Jay Bruce rates as far as getting on base to start his career:
Listed are the top marks for consecutive times reaching base safely to begin a career, since 1956 (courtesy SABR & Elias Sports Bureau):
7 - Ted Cox, Red Sox, 1977 (6-for-6, 1BB)
5 - John Paciorek, Astros, 1963 (3-for-3, 2BB)
5 - Dave Robinson, Padres, 1970 (2-for-2, 3BB)
5 - Bob Dernier, Phillies, 1980 (4-for-4, 1BB)
5 - Tom Dunbar, Rangers, 1983 (2-for-2, 3BB)
5 - Jose Hernandez, Rangers, 1991 (4-for-4, 1BB)
5 - Mike Piazza, Dodgers, 1992 (4-for-4, 1BB)
5 - Ramon Martinez, Giants, 1998 (3-for-3, 2BB)
5 - Kazuo Matsui, Mets, 2004 (3-for-3, 2BB)
5 (active) - Jay Bruce, Reds, 5/27 vs Pit (3-for-3, 2BB)
5 - Kosuke Fukudome, Cubs, 3/31-4/2 vs Mil (3-for-3, 2BB)
5 - Brandon Boggs, Rangers, 4/29/4/30 vs KC (4-for-4, 1BB)
Of all the pitchers that have passed through Cincinnati in the last 2+ years, Arroyo can hardly be considered fodder. Given the territory, that's saying something.

Is there any way we can get this thread archived to give us something to look back on in a few years?
I think he needs to go back....I mean, he ONLY went 1 for 3 last night, making 2 outs!!!!
The Reds have enough humans on this team!!
1. Ryan Freel cf
2. Jerry Hairston Jr. ss
3. Jay Bruce rf
4. Brandon Phillips 2b
5. Adam Dunn lf
6. Andy Phillips 3b
7. Joey Votto 1b
8. David Ross c
Bruce batting third. Does that mean Bruce has batted 3rd more times than Adam Dunn this year?

Kid ain't too bad...
Jay Bruce extended his amazing weeklong debut with a 10th-inning homer that lifted the Cincinnati Reds to an 8-7 victory over the Atlanta Braves.
Bruces first big league homer off Manny Acosta (3-2) dealt another crushing road defeat to the Braves, who couldnt hold a one-run lead heading into the ninth.
Griffey was on deck when Bruce connected for the game-winning solo shot. The 21-year-old rookie rounded the bases, flipped his helmet into the air halfway to home, then got pummeled by teammates when he hopped on the plate.
The Reds top prospect is 11-for-19 in his first five games in the majors, providing one big hit after another. He has a pair of three-hit games and a four-hit game.
The only thing he hadnt done in his amazing week was connect for a homer. He pulled it off on a 2-1 pitch from Acosta, sending it deep into the seats in right field.
While the Reds flooded onto the field and 38,585 fans chanted BRUUUUCE! in unison, the Braves dropped their heads and trudged away in disbelief.
They (the Reds PR dept) are already touting him and Votto. Coming down to the game on I-71 South today - I saw their face shots (the ones used at the game) with shades and leis (this weekend was IIRC "Welcome to Summer" at GABP) on one of the digital billboards.

On Baseball Tonight, they did a simulated redraft of the 2005 draft with the 1st 3 picks...and they selected (in order)...

2.) Justin Upton
3.) Ryan Braun
Obviously, Bruce was a choice and was not taken. I know Zimmerman was available as was Tulowitszki. There was another name or 2, but I can't recall.

Not a joke, the first pitch is now scheduled for 5:00 PM Central time. The radar doesn't look very good and the field has had a ton of water so we will see. If they do indeed get under way at 5:00 that will be a three-hour and forty minute rain delay, wow.

Army vet who fought alongside Al-Qaeda arrested by FBI
Paul Joseph Watson
March 29, 2013
The father of U.S. Army veteran Eric Harroun, arrested on Tuesday night by the FBI for fighting alongside an Al-Qaeda group in Syria, says his son was working for the CIA.
As we previously reported, in January Harroun slipped into Syria to link up with Jabhat al-Nusra, the Al-Qaeda group that killed U.S. troops in Iraq and is now the leading front line fighting force in Syria, commanding the other rebel groups. Despite being listed as a terrorist organization by the State Department back in December, 29 different US-backed Syrian opposition groups pledged their allegiance to the group.
Harroun was arrested by FBI agents at a hotel near Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia on charges of using a rocket propelled grenade launcher on behalf of an Al-Qaeda-affiliated group in Syria.
Harroun's father Darryl Harroun told reporters yesterday his son was "very patriotic" and would never join up with Al-Qaeda, a somewhat deluded claim given that Harroun appears in numerous videos with al-Nusra terrorists in which he brags about helping them take down a military helicopter. Harroun also admitted to FBI agents that he had shot at least 10 people.
However, Harroun's father let slip what probably represents the key to the entire story when he said, "I know he was doing some work for the CIA over there," adding, "I know for a fact that he was passing information onto the CIA."
The CIA's involvement in aiding, training and equipping rebel insurgents in Syria is no secret. Last week, the New York Times reported how the CIA had worked with Turkey and other Arab governments in the region to oversee a, "secret airlift of arms and equipment for the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad."
Harroun's CIA connection and his role in fighting alongside Jabhat al-Nusra further confirms the fact that the agency is supporting and even steering the actions of radical terrorists in Syria who have carried out suicide bombings and other attacks targeting schools, universities, as well as engaging in numerous other atrocities such as chemical weapons attacks, torture and gruesome beheadings.
Rebels have also ransacked Christian churches, tortured Christians as part of sectarian reprisals, and have been caught on tape burning US flags, chanting anti-American slogans and singing the praises of Osama Bin Laden while glorifying the 9/11 attacks.
The fact that Harroun was arrested by FBI agents despite apparently working for the CIA most likely reflects on the inter-agency rivalry between the two organizations. Before 9/11, an FBI investigation into the Bin Laden family and other terrorists that if seen through may have prevented the attacks was stymied by the CIA itself.
Another American who fought alongside Al-Qaeda terrorists in both Libya and Syria, Matthew VanDyke, recently returned to the United States and gave lectures in Washington DC earlier this month. VanDyke admitted that he originally wanted to join the CIA but later became a self-described "freedom fighter".
Harroun's story underscores the hypocrisy of US foreign policy in Syria. While America and numerous other NATO countries are openly supporting Al-Qaeda extremists in Syria as part of an effort to impose regime change, as soon as those militants return home they are arrested as terrorists. Britain has also arrested numerous citizens on their return to the UK from Syria despite simultaneously pushing to arm some of the very same terrorists in Syria.

I have actually had ROOT for some time but am just getting around to doing a proper review of it. When I first heard of this spirit being introduced, I could not wait to get my hands on some.
ROOT is one of the most interesting liqueurs to have come along in quite some time. It is based on an old herbal remedy called Root Tea. The Native Americans taught this age old recipes to the settlers, where it was passed down from generation to generation.
When Prohibition swept through the country, a pharmacist from Philadelphia removed the alcohol and renamed it "root beer".
This is unlike any other "root beer" liqueur on the market. Its true flavor is not produced with artificial flavorings nor is it drowned out by sugar. Rather, ROOT, is flavored with birch bark, black tea, spearmint, wintergreen citrus (lemons and oranges), allspice, anise, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom, which help to give
ROOT is delicious and spicy flavor.
On the nose, it has the classic smell that you come to expect from a root beer with just a hint of alcohol. That slight alcohol vapor lets you know this is a powerful 80 proof liqueur.
The flavor is wonderful complex. There are notes of vanilla bean, mint, nutmeg, cinnamon, and birch. As one flavor asserts itself on your palate another quickly emerges. All the flavors vie for attention on your palate, yet the spirit never seems to be out of balance, with the cane sugar keeping the bitterness in check and smoothing the drink out.
This is a great liqueur to sip neat or experiment in cocktails. My one complaint is that it can be quite challenging to work with and can easily take over a drink. Think of it like an amaro or other bittersweet herbal liqueur and the possibilities become endless.
Suggested retail is around $35 for a 750ml bottle.
Now for some drinks:
My inspiration for this drink was the Black Orpheus.
ROOT Swizzle
1.5 ozs Gold Rum (Brugal Anejo)
1 oz ROOT
1 oz lime juice
.5 oz Vanilla Bean Syrup & .5 oz simple syrup
1 dash Fees Old Fashioned Bitters
half spent lime shell 4 or 5 mint leaves
Shake all ingredients with ice then double strain into a high ball glass and add the spent lime shell. Add crushed ice and swizzle until the glass becomes frosted on the outside.
Notes: The ROOT is the major player with its complexity evident throughout the drink but it does not dominate or overwhelm the other flavors. The rum is a smooth undercurrent helping to provide a base for the ROOT. The syrup and mint create extra layers of flavors to dance across the tongue.
The next drink is the Pennsylvania Dutch Manhattan created by Jason Wilson, who writes an excellent column at the Washington Post.
Pennsylvania Dutch Manhattan
1.5 oz rye whiskey
.5 oz ROOT
.5oz Bianco or Bianc vermouth
Stir with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
For the last drink of the night, I offer up my variation of the Pennsylvania Dutch Manhattan.
To Live or to Exist?
2 oz rye whiskey (Redemption Rye)
.5 oz ROOT
tsp Luxardo Maraschino
1 dash of Regan's Orange No.6 Bitters
1 dash Bitter Truth Lemon Bitters
Combine all ingredients and stir with ice. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.


text: Does anyone know how to put out the Ultra Bee Dry Feed? This is the first time I needed to use or feed pollen to bees. I put a little out for them but they just don't seem to find it and I put it in front of their hive about five feet. The wind blew some away but not sure if I can sprinkle it on the bees and let them get it that way by cleaning themselves off or just dump the entire ten pounds of it in a hive top feeder so they can take it where they want it. Then pour the unused portion back later in the bucket it came in from Mann Lake. How long does it take for them to find it or do I need to add something to it? I had it out for a day now and thought they would find it pretty quick in front of their hive. I am located in Texas. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

FLORENCE, Ariz. (AP) — An Arizona woman faces murder charges accusing her of trying to kill her ex-husband and poison her four children, including a teenage daughter found dead in her home on Christmas Day, a prosecutor announced Wednesday.
A grand jury indictment charges Connie Villa, 35, of Casa Grande, with first-degree murder, kidnapping, attempted murder and child abuse, Pinal County Attorney Lando Voyles said.
Police have said Villa told investigators she suffocated her 13-year-old daughter when the girl wouldn't take prescription narcotic drugs. The other children, ages 3, 5 and 8, were treated at a hospital and released.
According to police, Villa said her motive was that she didn't want her ex-husband to have custody of the children.
Voyles said Villa is charged with two versions of murder. One accuses her of premeditated murder while the other accuses her of murder while committing another crime, child abuse.
April Elliott, a public defender representing Villa, said her client will plead not guilty when she is arraigned Friday. Elliott declined further comment.
Villa was arrested Dec. 29 after she was released from a Phoenix hospital, where she was taken on Christmas for treatment of what police believe were self-inflicted stab wounds.
Police were sent to Connie Villa's home on Christmas after the ex-husband, Adam Villa, called 911 to report he'd been stabbed. He suffered non-life-threatening wounds.
Villa remains jailed without bond.

1st – 3rd grade children will only be released to adults or older siblings with a matching three-character security sticker or proper identification.
Parents must stop at the door and not enter the classroom when dropping off your children. This is less disruptive for other children and allows us to know that only background checked adults are in the classrooms.

Frank Sinatra's New York penthouse hits the market
Want to live a glamorous lifestyle like Ol' Blue Eyes?
The legendary crooner's Upper East Side penthouse has hit the market in New York and the property is just as stunning as its views.
Sinatra designed the space while it was under construction in 1961 and lived in the glass-walled digs for 11 years, including the two years of his brief marriage to actress Mia Farrow.
The stunning property has four bedrooms, six bathrooms, 3,200 square feet of living space, and an additional 2,000 square feet of wrap-around terraces overlooking the East River.
The home's history is just as illustrious as its former owner, having hosted guests like President John F. Kenedy, Andy Warhol, Marilyn Monroe and Sinatra's famous Rat Pack.
If beautiful views, swingin' parties and storied history are up your alley, you'll have to drop nearly $5 million to make Sinatra's former pad your own.

Producers who regularly deal with high-risk cattle — those animals that may weigh a little less or have been commingled with others from different backgrounds — have seen what Mycoplasma bovis can do to cattle health. However, even the best-prepared operations can experience the disease.
"If you are buying well-managed cattle, you don't generally see M. bovis as a common theme, but every once in a while you get proof of the problem," says Daniel Scruggs, DVM, veterinary operations, Pfizer Animal Health. "We don't know how it happens, but all of a sudden we can see herds that are treating for M. bovis, but by far the most common manifestation is in cattle that are at high risk."
M. bovis is one of the most common infectious agents connected to clinical cases of bovine respiratory disease (BRD), which is estimated to cost the beef industry nearly $1 billion in economic losses from death, reduced feed efficiency and increased treatment costs.
Dr. Scruggs notes that producers should pay close attention to classes of cattle that are most likely to develop M. bovis-related disease, including cattle that have been commingled, lightweight cattle, and cattle that have been stressed. Knowing the level of risk is particularly important if producers are dealing with types of cattle they don't normally handle as a response to higher feeder prices.
"When cattle prices go up, some producers tend to handle riskier cattle," Dr. Scruggs says. "Any time people dramatically change the quality of cattle they are buying, they may be surprised by what they encounter disease wise."
Dr. Scruggs recommends producers work with their veterinarians to control M. bovis before it becomes a problem by treating cattle on arrival with an effective, proven antimicrobial and instituting management changes to help control spread of disease.
However, Dr. Scruggs notes that treatment is only one way to avoid the potential losses associated with M. bovis. Stocking density, maximizing cattle comfort and ensuring those cattle that don't respond to treatment don't infect healthy animals all contribute to effective control.
"I advise producers to treat all respiratory disease in cattle as if Mycoplasma bovis were a component, because in many cattle it is M. bovis," Dr. Scruggs says. "If you do it right, you may never identify if M. bovis was a component because the cattle are treated, get better and move on with their lives."

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and start your own political party. Squirrels deserve a voice in this country too, you know. Why are we so lacking in acorn subsidies? Have we no compassion? LET'S GO!
KEVIN SMITH: TOO FAT FOR FORTY – 9:30PM Saturday (Epix) The writer/director takes a timeout from making incredibly average movies to do what he does best: stand on a stage and talk. Tonight he plays to a packed house in Jersey, to tell stories about Hollywood and presumably address his little dustup with Southwest Airlines a while back. At what point can we stop referring to Smith as a director and start referring to him as a standup comic? Because really, that's his true calling, isn't it? I think he makes crummy movies specifically just so that he has a good story to tell later on. Shouldn't he stop making movies and just tour the country with Patton Oswalt? I don't need him making "Zack and Miri 2" anymore. ANTICIPATION: DIRTY!
MY SUPER PSYCHO SWEET SIXTEEN 2 – 10:00PM Tonight (MTV) Ever watch one of MTV's old "My Super Sweet 16" shows and want the spoiled brat featured to die? MTV feels your pain, which is why they're trotting out this second made-for-TV movie in which a birthday party ends up with numerous slashings and other gory delights. Oh, you wanted a pink Porsche, missy? YOU WILL HAVE A BLADE TO THE GUT AND LIKE IT. ANTICIPATION: SLASHY!
YANKEES/RANGERS, GAME 5 – 8:07PM Tonight (TBS) Down three games to two, the Yankees need to sweep Texas in Texas to claim their second consecutive AL pennant. If the Rangers can stop them and move on to the World Series, expect many a gun to be fired in the air. YEEEEEEHAWWWWW WE DONE DID IT! ANTICIPATION: HIGH!
SHERLOCK – 9:00PM Sunday (PBS) PBS trots out this extremely contemporary version of Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary character. This Sherlock Holmes texts and blogs and is, like, OMG SO FINE. He's played by Benedict Cumberbatch, which is the Britishest name I have ever heard and ever will hear. ANTICIPATION: SLEUTHY!
GROWING THE BIG ONE – 9:00PM Saturday (Hallmark Channel) Just in time for Halloween comes this weepie starring Shannen Doherty about a DJ (!) who inherits a pumpkin farm (!!) and then finds true love (!!!). Throw in that suggestive title and this could very well be the best worst thing you watch all week. ANTICIPATION: SHANNEN DOHERTY IS A DJ WHO OWNS A PUMPKIN FARM?
Weekend Watch List: Kevin Smith! Pumpkin DJ's! Yanks and Phils Still Fighting!
Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and start your own political party. Squirrels deserve a voice in this country too, you know. Why are we so lacking in acorn subsidies? Have we no compassion? LET'S GO!

Amazing NASA Photos

Filed Under: Photo Galleries, Tech
- A Supercell Thunderstorm Cloud Over Montana Is that a spaceship or a cloud? Although it may seem like an alien mothership, it's actually an impressive thunderstorm cloud called a supercell. Such colossal storm systems center on mesocyclones -- rotating updrafts that can span several kilometers and deliver torrential rain and high winds including tornadoes. Jagged sculptured clouds adorn the supercell's edge, while wind swept dust and rain dominate the center. A tree waits patiently in the foreground. The above supercell cloud was photographed in July west of Glasgow, Montana, USA, caused minor damage, and lasted several hours before moving on.
- A Massive Star in NGC 6357For reasons unknown, NGC 6357 is forming some of the most massive stars ever discovered. One such massive star, near the center of NGC 6357, is framed above carving out its own interstellar castle with its energetic light from surrounding gas and dust. In the greater nebula, the intricate patterns are caused by complex interactions between interstellar winds, radiation pressures, magnetic fields, and gravity. The overall glow of the nebula results from the emission of light from ionized hydrogen gas.
- Flame Nebula Close-Up Of course, the Flame Nebula is not on fire. Also known as NGC 2024, the nebula's suggestive reddish color is due to the glow of hydrogen atoms at the edge of the giant Orion molecular cloud complex some 1,500 light-years away. The hydrogen atoms have been ionized, or stripped of their electrons, and glow as the atoms and electrons recombine. But what ionizes the hydrogen atoms? In this close-up view, the central dark lane of absorbing interstellar dust stands out in silhouette against the hydrogen glow and actually hides the true source of the Flame Nebula's energy from optical telescopes.
- A Dark Dune Field in Proctor Crater on Mars Was this image taken with a telescope or a microscope? Perhaps this clue will help: if the dark forms were bacteria, they would each span over football field across. What is actually being seen are large sand dunes on the floor of Proctor Crater on Mars. The above picture was taken by HiRISE camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), a robot spacecraft currently in orbit around Mars. The dark rippled dunes likely formed more recently than the lighter rock forms they appear to cover, and are thought to slowly shift in response to pervasive winds.
- M33: Triangulum Galaxy The small, northern constellation Triangulum harbors this magnificent face-on spiral galaxy, M33. Its popular names include the Pinwheel Galaxy or just the Triangulum Galaxy. M33 is over 50,000 light-years in diameter, third largest in the Local Group of galaxies after the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), and our own Milky Way. About 3 million light-years from the Milky Way, M33 is itself thought to be a satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy and astronomers in these two galaxies would likely have spectacular views of each other's grand spiral star systems.
- Frosted Leaf Orion Captured above Japan earlier this month, a picturesque night sky was photographed behind a picturesque frosted leaf. The reflecting ice crystals on the leaf coolly mimic the shining stars far in the background. The particular background sky on this 48-second wide angle exposure, however, might appear quite interesting and familiar. On the far left, although hard to find, appears a streaking meteor. Below and to the right of the meteor appears a longer and brighter streak of an airplane. The bright star on the left is the dog-star Sirius, the brightest star on the night sky.
- Comet Hartley 2 Flyby Follow these 5 frames clockwise starting from the top left to track the view from the EPOXI mission spacecraft as it approached, passed under, and then looked back at the nucleus of comet Hartley 2 on November 4. Its closest approach distance was about 700 kilometers. In fact, this encounter was the fifth time a spacecraft from planet Earth has imaged a comet close-up. But Hartley 2's nucleus is definitely the smallest one so far, its long axis spanning only about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles). Though Hartley 2 is small, these stunning images showing jets of dust and gas indicate an impressively active surface.
- Home From AboveThere's no place like home. Peering out of the windows of the International Space Station (ISS), astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson takes in the planet on which we were all born, and to which she would soon return. About 350 kilometers up, the ISS is high enough so that the Earth's horizon appears clearly curved. Astronaut Dyson's windows show some of Earth's complex clouds, in white, and life giving atmosphere and oceans, in blue. The space station orbits the Earth about once every 90 minutes.
- Anticrepuscular Rays Over Colorado Although the scene may appear somehow supernatural, nothing more unusual is occurring than a setting Sun and some well placed clouds. Pictured above are anticrepuscular rays. To understand them, start by picturing common crepuscular rays that are seen any time that sunlight pours though scattered clouds. Now although sunlight indeed travels along straight lines, the projections of these lines onto the spherical sky are great circles. Therefore, the crepuscular rays from a setting (or rising) sun will appear to re-converge on the other side of the sky. At the anti-solar point 180 degrees around from the Sun, they are referred to as anticrepuscular rays.
- 700 Kilometers Below Comet Hartley 2 Why is Phobos so dark? Phobos, the largest and innermost of two Martian moons, is the darkest moon in the entire Solar System. Its unusual orbit and color indicate that it may be a captured asteroid composed of a mixture of ice and dark rock. The above picture of Phobos near the limb of Mars was captured last month by the robot spacecraft Mars Express currently orbiting Mars. Phobos is a heavily cratered and barren moon, with its largest crater located on the far side

Siebert on Franchising
With the proper location and the right management, a single club can do quite well, maintains Mark Siebert, president of iFranchise, a Chicago-based franchise consulting group. However, when competition becomes tighter, the power of name recognition may be needed to give the club an extra edge. One way to get that recognition instantly is to franchise or license a brand name.
Is it worth it for your club to purchase a brand? To answer that question, take a look at your market. If you don't have much competition, the brand name may not have much effect on your business-so there's no point in paying a licensing/franchising fee. "It would make sense if the incremental revenue was greater than the incremental cost," Siebert says.
If you do decide to go with a brand name, consider doing a survey to see which name has the most appeal to members and prospects. In some cases, you may discover that several names carry the same weight. When that occurs, you should look beyond the name to see what support the licensor/franchisor provides (e.g., advertising, management materials, etc.).
"It's more than the name you are buying," Siebert says. "You have to assess the entire package of services."
Franchising/licensing can also aid the in-between businesses: clubs that are larger than a single unit, yet not large enough to compete with the critical mass of major chains. However, the benefit does not come from buying a brand name but, rather, from selling one.
According to Siebert, clubs in the middle of the food chain are good candidates for becoming franchisors or licensors. This allows them to grow and develop brand recognition without a significant capital investment.
Still, this isn't for every club. These eight criteria will help you decide if your business is franchisable, taken with permission from www.ifranchise.net. You can also use this list to judge franchisors with which you would like to do business.
Credibility: Credibility can be reflected in a number of ways: organization size, years in operation, publicity, strength of management, etc.
Differentiation: This can come in the form of a differentiated product or service, reduced investment, different target markets, etc.
Transferability of knowledge: If your business is so complex that it cannot be taught to a franchisee in three months, you will have difficulty.
Adaptability:Some concepts do not adapt well over large geographic areas because of regional variations. Others are constrained by laws. Some work only because of the unique abilities of the individual behind the concept. Finally, some concepts are successful based on years of perseverance.
Refined and successful prototype operations: A refined prototype is necessary to demonstrate that the system is proved, and is instrumental in the training of franchisees. The prototype also acts as a testing ground.
Documented systems:A franchisor will need to document its policies, procedures, systems, etc., in a comprehensive and user-friendly operations manual and/or computer-based training module.
Affordability: Affordability merely reflects a prospect's ability to pay for the franchise in question.
Return on Investment (ROI): A franchised business must allow enough profit after a royalty for the franchisee to earn an adequate return on his investment. iFranchise looks for the franchisee to achieve a ROI of at least 20 percent by the third year of operations.

text: Latina beauty Jenaveve Jolie has been turning heads since long before she had ever decided to become a porn star. Her fit body and Mexican/Aztec heritage combine to give her a unique and irresistible look, and she was putting it to good use while working as a stripper. She toured as an exotic dancer, attracting legions of slack-jawed drooling men in every city she worked. One day, when one of her regulars approached her about shooting some girl on girl video, the money was too good to turn away. But when she got a taste of the spotlight, she just wanted more! It wasn't long before this cock-hungry Latina had moved on to boy/girl scenes, and she's never looked back since. With an impressive six AVN Award nominations to her name, Jenaveve Jolie is truly one of the hottest Latinas in the business.

4-23-11 PNC Park
Today was a Saturday game, so gates opened at 4:30 rather than 5:00. I was probably fourth in line or so. Usually Nick and I play catch on the bridge, but it wasn't closed off, so I stood and watched two older ballhawks argue about who loves baseball more.
Of course, there would be a threat of rain today, as a cold front passed by dangerously close to Pittsburgh, bringing storms just south of the city. The wind was howling out to left field, which would hopefully benefit me by pushing fly balls out of the park.
Amy left before the gates opened to go to work on the inside of the stadium, but she took some cool pics. This is probably my favorite:
When the stadium opened, I saw a few balls in left field on the foul line and went over to grab them.
When I got to the spot, there were three balls there. One was up against the fence, one was about six feet out, and one was only gettable using the glove trick. Once I got into the seating area, I noticed Nick running right behind me, and he grabbed the one up against the fencing before I could get to it. I was able to reach the one six feet out by leaning out over the fence and grabbing it with my glove. I let the glove trick ball be, as I don't like using the glove trick while the Pirates are batting.
My second ball was a ground rule double in section 134 that I snagged here:
That would be all I would get during the Pirates batting practice. 45 minutes. 2 balls. Poor.
Balls #3 and #4 were glove tricked off of the left field warning track.
My fifth ball of the day was a home run hit by a Nationals batter. I was starting to get blocked off by fans, so I took the open row five rows back as I tracked the ball. It turned out that it was the perfect row and I caught the ball on the fly.
Ball #6 was a home run that sailed over my head, hit off the facade of the general admission bleachers and carried back to the lower bleachers. I out jumped another ballhawk and snagged the ball on the rebound.
My seventh ball of the day was caught on the fly off the bat of Rick Ankiel in the third row in center field. This was the view.
Ankiel lofted another fly ball two pitches later than I flat out missed. It tipped off of my glove. It was my worst error this year.
At 5:51, the Nationals ran off the field.
The was some light rain that was to arrive around 7PM, so the grounds crew wanted to make sure it had over an hour to put the tarp on the field. It wouldn't even start drizzling until game time. That's our grounds crew for you though. It cost us about 25 minutes of batting practice.
The game was delayed an hour and eleven minutes by "rain."
It actually was barely raining. It was a little mist that terrified the grounds crew. You can tell it was barely raining in the photo above by the amount of fans seated in the outfield sections. If it was raining, they wouldn't be there.
What a frustrating day. I missed at least five balls including a game home run. This was by far the worst ballhawking day of the year for me.
Here are today's baseballs:
Sweet spots:
By the way, I injured myself after batting practice. I had a huge bag and I filled it with 59 Andrew McCutchen Action Figurines, 59 First Pitch Magazines, and 59 Scratch and Win Cards.
The bag was filled to the brim, so I had to carry it in front of me almost a mile to my car. I couldn't sling it over my shoulder. Anyway, I ended up hurting my back, and having back spasms the rest of the night. I couldn't even run or jog.
The weight of the bag was about sixty pounds. Carrying it out in front of me with my arms straight forward was definitely a work out.
