How to Get Cameron Diaz' Toned Body at Home
How Cameron Diaz Stays Fit Without Ever Needing to Leave Her Home!
How Cameron Diaz Stays Fit Without Ever Needing to Leave Her Home!
There's no way we could ever look as good as Cameron Diaz, right? According to Cameron's trainer Teddy Bass, that way of thinking is just plain wrong. "I wish that more people would look at celebrities and the trainers who work with them and use that as encouragement to work out," Teddy said at a recent event hosted by Asics America. It sounds easy enough, and according to Teddy, it is — and you can do it all in the comfort of your own home.
"Everyone says they don't have time, but that's not true," he says. "These moves can be done in under 30 minutes, and all you need are basic household items — everyone has a couch; everyone has a table!" If you're lusting after Cameron's arms and legs, then grab a chair and get ready to work. Do these moves throughout the day, or run through the exercises two to three times to get a solid strength-training circuit in for the day.

55 years ago Chevrolet began selling the El Camino, a sedan-pickup, was the answer to Ford's Ranchero, and to this day the El Camino still maintains a cult following. The Ranchero was inspired by the Australian "ute" (short for coupé utility), which describes a car that could both carry a wife and farmer to church on Sundays and sell pigs in town on Mondays. The idea didn't quite take-off in America as expected in the late-50s and early-60s, but by the '70s, with the more powerful SS model, the Chevrolet El Camino was gold.
The Chevrolet El Camino was first available for sale on October 16, 1958. The car was built on the Impala platform at the time, featuring "cat's eye" tail lights and huge rear fins. At the time, GM ads claimed the El Camino was "the most beautiful thing that ever shouldered a load!" and "It rides and handles like a convertible, [yet] hauls and hustles like the workingest thing on wheels." The car was sold for two years, but was discontinued after unfavorable sales numbers.
By 1964, Chevrolet reintroduced the El Camino nameplate, however, this time built on the Chevelle wagon platform. By 1968, the optional SS engine made the El Camino an iconic muscle car of the late 1960s and 1970s. The car-truck survived for 23 years until Chevy discontinued the El Camino for good in 1987. In 2008, with resurgence in car-truck popularity, the late Pontiac considered resurfacing the name El Camino nameplate with its "sport truck" concept car, the G8 ST, but due to the financial difficulties of 2008-2009, GM discontinued the Pontiac brand all together in 2010.
Though the El Camino name has not seen the fender of a car since 1987, the interest surrounding the car still exists today. From autocross racing, to restoration projects – and everything in between – there are certainly enough El Caminos out there for anyone looking to nab one. All you need is a love for the car-truck platform and deep rooted love for Chevrolet. If we're lucky, maybe one day we'll see the El Camino live on; possibly for its 60th anniversary?

Chatter is a great way to boost collaboration in your organization. In this article Getting Started with Process Builder – Part 13 (Post to Chatter), I had discussed a use case, whenever an event is created for the public calendar post its detail to a Chatter Group using the Process Builder. Process Builder allows us to posts a message to a specified feed, such as to a Chatter group, a user's feed or a lead record. This article goes a step ahead and explains, how someone uses Flow and Process Builder to post to Chatter Feed of Related Record. Let's start with a business use case
Business Use case
Donna Serdula is working as System administrator at Universal Containers. She has received a requirement to post Opportunity details (with Opportunity link) to the related Account's feed, whenever an Opportunity gets created with an amount greater than $100k.
Solution for the above business requirement
There are a few possible solutions for the above business scenario, but I'll use Process Builder and Flow to solve it. Before proceeding, you have to understand FeedItem objects in Salesforce. It represents an entry in the feed, such as changes in a record feed, including text posts, link posts, and content posts. Follow the below instructions to solve the above business requirement
1. Click on Name | Setup | App Setup | Create | Workflows & Approvals | Flows
2. Click on New Flow, it will open the Flow canvas for you. Now create few Text variables, as shown in the following screenshots
3. The next step is to post a message (Type: – Link Post) to Account Feed, for this we will use Record Create element. Drag-and-drop Record Create element (Enter the name Post to Chatter) onto the canvas and map the fields according to below details
- Select object FeedItem
- Body= An Opportunity gets created with amount more than 100K
- LinkUrl= https://na17.salesforce.com/{!VarOpportunityID} [replace na17 with your Salesforce instance. In case if you want to dynamically fetch your Salesforce instance name then use Record Lookup as shown in the following screenshot]
- ParentId= {!VarAccountID}
- Title= {!VarOpportunityName}
- Type= LinkPost, as shown in the below screenshot
Finally, your Flow will look like the following screenshot
4. Save your flow with name Post to Chatter Feed of Related Record and close the canvas. Don't forget to Activate the Flow.
Launch a Flow from Process Builder
Our next task is to create a Process Builder on the Opportunity object to launch a Flow. To create a Process Builder on the Opportunity object follow the below instructions
1. Click on Name | Setup | App Setup | Create | Workflows & Approvals | Process Builder
2. To create a new process from scratch, click on the New Button available on Process management page. A popup will appear where you have to enter the Name (Use Post to Chatter Feed of Related Record PB as name), API Name and Description as shown in the below screenshot
3. Click on Object node to add object and then select Opportunity object. For the entry criteria, Select only when a record is created, as shown in the below screenshot. Once you're done, click on the Save button
4. The next task is to add Process Criteria. To do this click on Add Criteria, enter Name, Type of action and set filter conditions as shown in the following screenshot.
- [Opportunity].AccountId Is null Boolean False
- [Opportunity].Amount Greater than or equal Currency $100,000.00
5. The next step is to add an Immediate action to Process. Click on Add Action (Under Immediate actions), Select the type of action to create (In our case Flows), and then fill out the fields to define the action, as shown in the following screenshot
6. Once you are done, click on the Save button, it will redirect you to Process canvas. Finally, the Process will look like the following screenshot
Don't forget to active the Process by clicking on the Activate button.
It's time to test the Flow and Process
1) Navigate to the Opportunity tab, create a new Opportunity with an amount 200k and link it to an existing account
2) Now navigate to the Account tab, then open the account that is linked to the Opportunity, which was created in the Previous step. It will look like the following screenshot
Note: – I will suggest you to implement this first on your developer org, test it and then move it to production.

New products and changes introduced over the last week include four gold/currency ETFs from AdvisorShares and a fixed indexed annuity from the partnership of Nationwide Financial and Annexus.
In addition, Citi and Research Affiliates have launched a global corporate bond index.
Here are the latest developments of interest to advisors:
1) AdvisorShares Launches Gold/Currency ETFs
AdvisorShares has announced the launch of four gold/currency exchange-traded funds: AdvisorShares Gartman Gold/Euro ETF (GEUR), AdvisorShares Gartman Gold/British Pound ETF (GGBP), AdvisorShares Gartman Gold/Yen ETF (GYEN) and AdvisorShares International Gold ETF (GLDE). Each provides gold exposure in different currency terms through a '40 Act structure. The ETFs are subadvised by Treesdale Partners.
The ETFs seek to provide positive returns by utilizing their respective currencies to invest in the gold market. While GEUR, GGBP and GYEN invest in gold via the euro, pound and yen, GLDE invests in exchange-traded products (ETPs) that provide diversified exposure to the international gold market. The four gold ETFs are not expected be subject to unrelated business taxable income (UBTI) and schedule K-1s, which are typically present in commodity-linked investments.
2) Nationwide Financial, Annexus Partner for Fixed Indexed Annuity
Nationwide Financial and Annexus have announced a new partnership and the launch of Nationwide New Heights, a fixed indexed annuity product. New Heights, along with its two optional riders, is built for risk-averse clients who want the stability that a fixed product provides while also having upside growth potential and a return of principal.
Advisors can choose between the riders, available at additional cost; each is available with a purchase payment bonus option. The Nationwide High Point 365 Lifetime Income Benefit rider helps clients meet their retirement income needs, and the Nationwide High Point Enhanced Death Benefit rider provides legacy planning options. Both offer clients the greater of potential growth of their contract value or a fixed-rate increase on their premium.
3) Citi and Research Affiliates Launch Global Corporate Bond Index
Citi and Research Affiliates LLC announced that they have launched the Citi RAFI World Corporate Investment-Grade Bond Index. The index is based on the RAFI Fundamental Index concept developed by Research Affiliates.
The index uses two factors in weighting bonds in the portfolio: long-term assets, which represent the portion of assets that long-term bondholders have a claim on, and cash flow, which reflects debt service capacity. Weighting by long-term assets systematically underweights companies with high leverage and overweights low-leverage companies, while weighting by cash flow systematically underweights companies with low debt coverage and overweights those with high debt coverage. In addition, financial ratios are used to reduce exposure to companies that are more susceptible to downgrades.

You are what you eat
Hi!! I just realized that looking back at my pictures, I may have actually taken a picture of almost everything I ate today! Including a shot of this guy who greeted me from my window first thing this morning.
I celebrated Waffle Wednesday appropriately…with waffles! Duh!
Two Nature's Path maple cinnamon waffles, almond butter, yogurt strawberries.
Been a while since I had this combo, don't think I'll ever get sick of it!
After breakfast, I had a coffee meeting with the executive producer of the local news show I used to host. They want be to be a fill-in anchor for their new, live, in-studio format! So I'll be taking over whenever the regular host is sick, or on vacation. I said yes, because it's one of those opportunities I know better than to turn down. I have no qualms about being on TV, I'm used to it by now, but live is a whole new ball game!
Oh yes, and I had a double tall, 2 pump sugar-free vanilla, nonfat, dry cappuccino.
With a whole bunch of cinnamon stirred into the foam. So good! I hardly ever have specialty coffees now since I stopped drinking coffee in the afternoon. Add espresso machine to the list of kitchen items to get ;)
Once I got home, I popped a date + cashew butter and
dragged myself out headed out for a 10k run. Damn! It was cold! 8 Celsius, so 46 Fahrenheit. The temperature was bearable once I got into it, but my nose was running like mad! Luckily, I'd remembered a piece of paper towel. But my nose was basically like a faucet the whole time.
I can't complain that much though, because it was still a stellar run!
Duration: 57:02
Distance: 10 km
Avg Pace: 9:11 min/mi
According to my own made-up schedule, today was supposed to be an 80 minute run, but that would have increased my weekly mileage too much with the 10k race this Sunday. So instead I did a practice 10k with no walk breaks! Usually I just run at a pace that feels good and challenging for 9 minutes, then walk for a minute. But today I ran straight out, consciously doing the first four miles around 9:45, then the last couple miles at 9:00 and under. I was pushing 7:30 in my last half mile and my lungs were good to go ;) Slow and steady wins the race, right?
Once I got home, I popped my Moosewood Cookbook creation in the oven while I stretched and showered. The first dish is called solyanka.
It's a Balkan casserole made up of potatoes, cottage cheese, yogurt, cabbage, carrots, dill and a few other spices. I'd never seen anything like it before, and love all the ingredients, so I knew I had to make it!
I cut the recipe in half, to make three servings instead of six.
It smelled soooo good while baking in the oven and did not disappoint! I think the yogurt is what really made the dish for me. I often eat potatoes with cottage cheese, but have never tried yogurt with them.
I paired it with the Odessa beets recommended in the recipe.
This is grated beets mixed with prunes, garlic and lemon juice. I was nervous about this combo, but again, I enjoy all the ingredients separately, so why not together? This totally blew me away. So, so good. I had no idea beets and prunes would be such a wonderful marriage of flavours!!
I was supposed to go to work right after this, but the other reporter ended up covering one of my assignments. So I had some spare time to get stuff done around the apartment. I snacked on a frozen deep chocolate vitamuffin with peanut butter.
Still lovin' the frozen vitas. Still putting a huge strain on my wallet :P
Supper wasn't nearly as fancy as lunch.
A sandwich made up of Yves veggie salami slices and marble cheese with an orange and boiled egg. Eaten at my desk. Then it was off for more work, and I snacked on a Kashi peanut peanut butter bar when I got back.
The chewy bars are the only kind of Kashi bars available in Canada. They're alright.
A little bland, and not very filling. But pretty good compared to other granola bars out there. Plus, this box was on sale for $2 :)
I had one more small snack when I finally got home.
Laughing cow cheese and blueberry jam on a wasa cracker.
I LOVE this jam!!!
I admit, I really only bought it because of this on the lid…
Well this Susie also says Crofters tastes great :D
And that's almost everything I ate today! I haven't done a full recap like that in a while. My eats got pretty repetitive, so I've been trying to switch things up. It's been a lot of fun! I've got even more kitchen experiments planned over the next few days that I'm excited for.
Question of the day: What are some foods you eat frequently and never get sick of? For me it's pitas, carrot sticks, oatmeal, veggie burgers, wasa crackers, to name a few!
I've got another busy day on tap tomorrow. Starting with a BodyPump class which I'm totally "pumped" for (I couldn't help myself). I've never been to a class like it before, and I expect to get sore! :P
See ya tomorrow!

George Anderson dies at 83; Raiders trainer created a knee brace
George Anderson, the longtime athletic trainer for the Oakland and Los Angeles Raiders who devised an innovative knee brace that became standard for football players, died Thursday in Santa Fe, N.M., his daughter Kristi Anderson Ornstein said.
He was 82 and had Parkinson's disease and diabetes.
George Anderson: The obituary of former Raiders athletic trainer George Anderson in the April 1 California section gave his age as 82. Anderson was born Jan. 23, 1929, and was 83 when he died March 29. The obituary also omitted his wife, Gailey Vollmer, from the list of survivors. —
Anderson was the Raiders' original athletic trainer, beginning in 1960, three years before future owner Al Davis came aboard as head coach and general manager.
"He was a great help to me as well as my teammates during my playing career with the Raiders," Raiders General Manager Reggie McKenzie said in a statement. "With George, we all knew that we were in excellent hands when it came to athletic training and treatment."
In 1977, after quarterback Ken Stabler suffered a knee injury, Anderson came up with a double-hinged brace designed to protect the joint from further damage by distributing the impact of hits to the leg above and below the knee itself. The Anderson Knee Stabilizer was widely used not just by quarterbacks but also by linemen seeking to protect the joint yet be free to move about the field.
In recognition of his pioneering work, he was inducted into the National Athletic Trainers' Assn. Hall of Fame in 1986.
Anderson served as head athletic trainer of the Raiders for 35 years, moving with the team from Oakland to Los Angeles and back again.
In 1994, the team's last season in Los Angeles, Dr. Robert Huizenga, a former team physician, wrote a behind-the-scenes book that detailed questionable practices by the front office and coaching staff, including pressuring team doctors to send players back into action before they were healed and asking them to ignore injuries that would have kept players on the sidelines longer.
Davis asked Anderson to participate in a TV interview and rebut the accusations in Huizenga's "You're Okay, It's Just a Bruise," but he declined and subsequently was forced to retire. Anderson was not comfortable speaking out against Huizenga, who had been treating Anderson's wife, Marcy, for Hodgkin's disease.
"Nobody gave themselves to the Raiders more than my dad," his daughter said Friday. "He was so dedicated to Al and the Raiders, and it just devastated him."
Said Anderson in a 1996 interview with Sports Illustrated: "The word 'loyalty' is bandied about much too casually in the Raiders' organization. For Al Davis, loyalty means, 'You be loyal to me. I'll think about being loyal to you.'"
Davis died in October.
Anderson was born Jan. 23, 1929, in Vallejo, north of Oakland, and served in the Army from 1946 to '48. While attending San Jose State, he decided to become an athletic trainer after he was injured playing basketball.
After graduation he worked as an athletic trainer in Texas and at USC and UC Berkeley before joining the Raiders.
In retirement, Anderson worked with the Green Bay Packers on an informal basis during training camp and playoffs.
He also showed another side of his personality by writing poetry and children's books.
Anderson's wife died in 1996. Besides his daughter Kristi, he is survived by another daughter, Leslie Gant; a son, Brad; and five grandchildren.

Too bad my buddy moved away from Boston. Too long a drive to do as a one day trip
Did anyone here do this? I did the 16 mi. intermediate route. Surfaces were wet pretty much all day. Rock gardens were very challenging. Still an awesome ride and glad I went. I think this will become a regular event for me.
I forgot all about this. I was thinking of checking it out...

Here's the problem with technique: It's the core of the manual skills one acquires for obtaining a professional degree in chiropractic, yet the word carries a stigma when debates ensue as to precisely how the T-word is to be incorporated into chiropractic teaching curricula. It's very much a lightning rod, just as the term subluxation has raised more than a few passionate voices in the past.
Even renowned authors have taken opposing viewpoints. Consider how the great mystery writer Raymond Chandler, out of Los Angeles, sized up the T-word: "The moment a man begins to talk about technique, that's proof that he is fresh out of ideas." Compare this to Ezra Pound: "Technique is the test of sincerity. If a thing isn't worth getting the technique … it is of inferior value." So, where does one go from here?
The problem isn't helped by the image – rarely deserved – of a technique developer flush with cash, posing as the highest bidder, gaining an inside track to a chiropractic teaching curriculum despite the lack of potential to make significant inroads in patient treatment. But what remains the top priority in chiropractic education is to put the most effective tools, both cognitive and manual, in the hands of students during their enrollment period at chiropractic institutions.
The difficulty is that in many instances, there has been evidence of an undercurrent of general disdain between chiropractic academia directed toward our chiropractic technique developers, and similarly, an overall sense of mistrust toward chiropractic academia by chiropractic technique developers and users.
Some chiropractic college departments have attempted to integrate chiropractic techniques by separating parts of a technique and integrating them into a whole "technique package," discounting how a part of said technique might relate to the whole enchilada. While it is evident that some chiropractic techniques may have made claims without substantive data, it is also obvious that there are positive aspects of chiropractic techniques that warrant greater study.
Working together, our chiropractic academics and technique representatives need to find avenues for greater cooperation in developing greater evidence, mutual respect and awareness of the appropriateness of given techniques, either partially or wholly. The concept is not unlike providing a suitable catalyst to lower the activation barrier, as envisioned by chemists for decades, in order to allow a reaction to proceed.
This is precisely why I took it upon myself to organize a workshop titled, "Enhancing the Integration of Chiropractic Technique, Academia, and Research," presented in March at the ACC-RAC 2013 conference in Washington, D.C. The structure of this presentation was to present the viewpoints of three technique developers / representatives (Dr. Arlan Fuhr on Activator, Charles Blum on sacro-occipital technique, and me representing applied kinesiology) and three researchers from academic institutions: Drs. Michael Schneider [University of Pittsburgh], Stephen Perle [University of Bridgeport] and Mitchell Haas [University of Western States].
Our goal was to lower this activation barrier produced by past biases and a few missteps, to achieve meaningful technique integration into a teaching curriculum. Moderator to the session was Dr. Robert Cooperstein, who has benefited from the dual perspectives of technique development and incorporation into a teaching program at an accredited chiropractic institution.
Before a packed ballroom at the conference, Drs. Schneider, Perle and Haas pointed out that the indicators for conditions such as back pain and headache used by chiropractors suffer from marginal reliability and validity. (As a note of encouragement and perhaps by contrast, I was able to point out that the reliability among three experienced diplomates in applied kinesiology, and validity as suggested by instrumentation of manual muscle testing of the middle deltoid muscle, was recently shown to be excellent.1) Schneider, Perle and Haas also outlined three requirements for a technique to be accepted: (1) clinical effectiveness of the treatment procedure; (2) determining comparative effectiveness of various treatment procedures; and (3) reliability and validity of examination procedures. They pointed out that there are instances in which treatment procedures may be clinically effective, while examination procedures within a technique system may be unreliable and invalid.
Representing the technique developers, Arlan Fuhr outlined a model first presented by Kaminski in 1987 to describe practices and procedures taught within a chiropractic curriculum, accounting for definitions, methods of observation, consistency of the science, and pertinent research.2 Fuhr stressed that key elements in any technique or instrument evaluation should include safety, legal issues, utilization, evidence, and support from a consensus process.
This point of view was largely echoed by Charles Blum from the perspectives of biological plausibility and weighing the evidence as he came to grips with the sacro-occipital technique (SOT). My own viewpoints emphasized that much in the manner of technique development needs to be added to the chiropractic curriculum in view of the observations that (1) the release of vertebral fixations by chiropractic adjustments may be largely short-lived;3 (2) the dose-response pattern of relief from chronic back pain by spinal manipulation appears to disappear from 4-12 weeks after the initiation of treatment if numerous adjunctive procedures (heat / ice, ultrasound, electrotherapy, soft-tissue treatments [massage and/or trigger-point therapy]) are omitted;4 and (3) important elements such as nutrition and the patient's psychological status have often been overlooked.
As moderator, Robert Cooperstein pointed out the need to recognize the difference between named and generic techniques, each representing the overlap of assessment and treatment procedures. Ways to bring techniques up to teaching standards are not a new issue, the topic having been embraced by the ACA Council of Techniques at least as far back as the early 1990s.
Long story short: It is very much in the interest of chiropractic institutions to provide a mechanism for recognizing and testing various techniques that attain a certain threshold of evidence supporting their safety, reliability, clinical effectiveness and utility. By the same token, technique developers must be able to recognize and adhere to minimum standards of rigorous research methodology in order to engage in productive dialogues with those academicians whose successful teaching ultimately will rely upon more advanced technique development. While a promising start to these discussions seems to have been offered by our recent ACC-RAC workshop, more intensive and detailed exploration of the topic is needed.
This is especially true in light of what seems to prevail nowadays as an axiom first advanced by Arthur Schopenhauer: "Every truth passes through three stages before it is recognized. In the first it is ridiculed, in the second it is violently opposed, in the third it is regarded as self-evident."

2011 Dodge Avenger — It May Look the Same, but it Won't Feel the Same
by Blog Editor
October 28, 2010 9:20 AM
The "look" on the new 2011 Dodge Avenger will have a comfortable familiarity to it — but once you get in and take it for a ride, it won't be like anything you've experienced before.
The 2011 Avenger has an all new interior, performance attributes that put the fun back into driving combined with some exterior enhancements.
Dodge engineers retuned or redesigned virtually every part of the suspension for 2011, including 26 of 30 suspension bushings. The suspension and the geometry were completely rethought. The track is an inch wider, tire width increased from 215 to 225 millimeters and the vehicle is 12 millimeters lower in the front and 6 millimeters in the rear for a more aggressive stance.
Customers will feel more confident when driving the new Avenger because of less body roll, less vehicle shake, improved isolation, better steering precision, response and feel and the increased grip of new premium tires.
More power options
A new and improved powertrain lineup also contributes to the 2011 Avenger's driving experience. The vehicle has a standard 2.4-liter World Gas Engine, which has been recalibrated and is now available mated to a new smooth-shifting six-speed transmission for an exceptionally fun and fuel-efficient driving experience.
Avenger customers also can opt for the new Pentastar V-6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission that gives customers the best of both worlds best-in-class 283 horsepower (an increase of 20 percent compared with the engine it replaces) and 260 lb.-ft. of torque (an increase of 12 percent) combined with competitive fuel economy.
Ultimate interior
The Chrysler Group LLC's Interior Design Studio also worked its magic on the new 2011 Avenger. The all-new instrument panel, bezels, gauge faces and new Dodge steering wheel transform the driver seat into a cockpit-like experience. Upgraded seats incorporate more cushion material and revised spring geometry. Dodge Avenger also features several new two-tone interior color schemes, new leather and cloth seating materials and accent stitching. Owners can select from these schemes to design a vehicle that matches their lifestyle needs.
Designers developed the 2011 Dodge Avenger with new soft touch armrests and instrument panels, new, premium interior finishes for touch points that are not only pleasing to the touch but also to the eye. They also redesigned the heating and cooling outlets in the instrument panel to make them more appealing and better functioning. The 2011 Dodge Avenger also offers one of the quietest cabins in the segment with 45 new or upgraded sound-deadening treatments integrated throughout the vehicle.
Clever features include new ambient interior lighting and a new multi-function three-spoke Dodge steering wheel with integrated controls that allows drivers to operate the radio, cruise control, hands-free phone and other vehicle functions while keeping their hands on the wheel.
Available cool technology includes voice command functions for hands-free phones, integrated USB port for streaming music, navigation and memo record, an iPod/MP3 jack, Bluetooth streaming music; Gracenote music identification; a hard drive that stores approximately 6, 700 songs and remote start
Exterior enhancements
New exterior styling features clean, smooth aggressive lines. The new fascia sports the new signature Dodge Brand split crosshair grille, while an aggressive lower fascia completes the Dodge look from top to bottom.
Made in the U.S.A.
The 2011 Dodge Avenger will be built at the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant in Sterling Heights, Mich., and will arrive in dealerships during fourth quarter 2010

Amazing Grass Green SuperFood Raw Reserve Highlights:
Gluten free, Raw, & Vegan Twenty-five Billion Probiotics Per Serving USDA Certified Organic Packaged in an amber glass bottle Nitrogen packed for freshness Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Green SuperFood and Wheat Grass? Their Green SuperFood combines organic greens foods with antioxidant rich fruits and vegetables and a probiotic and enzyme blend. Click here for a complete listing. Green SuperFood provides a great way to get a full spectrum of all the major green superfoods in a delicious and slightly sweet tasting drink powder. It mixes easily with any beverage and tastes great even mixed with water. Our Wheat Grass is 100% organic whole leaf wheat grass. It's vegan and gluten free. Click here for more information. Amazing Grass wheat grass is not bitter like some other wheat grasses and has a slightly earthy flavor that many green food purists crave when mixed in water. It also mixes easily into any cold beverage and is a great way to 'green up' your favorite smoothie. Many people consume both our Green SuperFood and Wheat Grass daily; either at separate times or mixed together to get an even bigger serving of greens.
What is the difference between Berry Green SuperFood and Green SuperFood? Essentially they are the same formula with the following exception: Our Berry Green SuperFood adds extra Acai and includes Gogi Berries. We also infuse a delicious natural berry flavor. For many people, our Berry Green SuperFood tastes delicious only mixed with water and it is quickly becoming one of our best selling products.
Are Amazing Grass products Gluten Free? Yes, Amazing Grass products are gluten free. Our cereal grasses are harvested prior to jointing, before the grain forms and any gluten is present. We test for gluten and our products are enjoyed by people worldwide with gluten free diets including celiac disease. Please note, our Energy Bars are manufactured in a plant that processes wheat, milk, eggs, soy, peanuts and tree nuts.
What is the ORAC of our Green SuperFood? Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is a method of measuring antioxidant capacities of different foods. There are many things to consider when looking at the nutritional value of a product including; vitamins, minerals, enzymes, alkalinity and of course phytochemicals. Phytochemicals can support antioxidant protection, hormonal action, stimulation of enzymes, anti-bacterial effects and interference with DNA replication. Essentially they can help protect your body from diseases and cancer mutations.
In addition to providing an abundance of whole food nutritional benefits, our Green SuperFood is also very high in antioxidants. One 8 gram serving has an ORAC score of 2900. One ounce would equate to approx 10,200.
What do Amazing Grass products do for me? Life's daily functions, such as digestion, stress, exercise, and the consumption of processed foods, coffee or alcohol all form acid. When your body's pH is in the acidic range, it retains water to dilute the acidity and stores fat to protect the body's organs from the acidity.
Amazing Grass wheat and barley grass has a high alkalizing effect, which helps restore the balance between acidity and alkalinity in our body. Most processed foods are acidic, and when we consume too many of them, the acidity-alkalinity balance is upset. Our cells cannot effectively function if our body is out of balance. Prolonged acidity can lead to stress of our body's cells and organs and ultimately may lead to illness and disease. Cleansing and detoxifying our body will balance the acidity-alkalinity ratio resulting in rejuvenated cellular activity. After our body's pH levels are balanced, you will notice an increase in energy, stamina and less need for sleep. Consuming Amazing Grass may also lead to a decreased craving for junk food, sweets and may limit overeating.
Amazing Grass has many live enzymes that help aid in digestion and other bodily functions. In addition to the live enzymes, Amazing Grass is also high in naturally produced anti-oxidants that neutralize free radicals and protect the skins' connective tissues. There are many testimonials from wheat grass consumers that have noticed an improvement of their skin's complexion and overall appearance.
Can I take Amazing Grass products if I'm pregnant? Absolutely! We like to answer that question by asking 'Is it good to eat kale, broccoli or spinach while you are pregnant?' Our wheat grass is also a whole-food, green leafy vegetable. It very is important to get the best nutrition possible when you are pregnant. Not only for yourself, but of course for your baby. Nearly every doctor or nutritionist will attest that eating vibrant fruits and vegetables everyday is good for your health, especially when you are pregnant. We receive great feedback from pregnant mothers who consume our products during their pregnancy. The Amazing Grass co-founders wives both took our wheat grass and green superfood daily during pregnancy. They felt great during the entire pregnancy and both are convinced the greens made a huge difference in her health as well as the health of their children. The fiber and naturally occurring digestive enzymes really help with constipation. Wheat grass is a good source of folic acid and other naturally occurring vitamins and minerals that your body and baby need more than ever when you are pregnant. Best of all, it is a green leafy vegetable...so you are getting your quota of greens everyday.
Amazing Grass Green Food Blend
Organic Wheat Grass - One of the most potent green vegetables available. Wheat grass is an excellent source of natural vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes. When grown properly and harvested at the ideal time, wheat grass is highly alkalizing and will help detoxify the body. Organic Barley Grass - Green barley leaves contain a multitude of the body's spark plugs, enzymes. Enzymes are the catalysts for the body's essential chemical reactions and are responsible for our digestive processes, for providing cellular energy, and for antioxidant effects. Considered one of the world's experts on green barely, Dr. Hagiwara, believes that there may be thousands of active enzymes in green barley, especially superoxide dismutase (SOD), a major detoxifying enzyme that helps maintain healthy joints. Organic Alfalfa - Roots grow very deep to absorb many minerals and nutrients from the soil. Contains eight essential amino acids, is a rich source of vitamin B12, natural fluoride and chlorophyll. Recent French studies have found that alfalfa can reduce tissue damage caused by radiation exposure. In addition, it has also shown to maintain healthy cells. Because it neutralizes acidity, it promotes healthy bladders and urinary tracts. Organic Spirulina - Like all edible dark green plants, is also highly alkalizing, meaning that it helps restore the acid-base balance. In other words, Spirulina helps neutralize the acidity caused by eating excess meats, starches, sugars, soft drinks and preserved foods, excess stress, excess exercise, environmental pollutants, drugs, alcohol, coffee and tobacco. Organic Cracked Cell Chlorella - Chlorella is the number one selling health food supplement sold in Japan. Chlorella, a unique single-celled fresh water green algae, contains high concentrations of chlorophyll, nucleic acids, amino acids, enzymes, antioxidant carotenes, and vitamins and minerals, especially zinc. Organic Spinach - Good source of folate (folic acid) and loaded with antioxidants that combat free radical damage to the body's cells. Organic Broccoli - Good source of iron and folic acid. Broccoli is one of the richest sources of anti-oxidants and contains sulforaphane, which is believed to help maintain optimal health. Antioxidant Blend
Organic Acai - We feature Sambazon Organic Pure Acai. (Ah-sigh-ee) is a purple berry from the Amazon Rainforest. It contains more anti-oxidants than pomegranates and is loaded with healthy omega fats, proteins and dietary fiber. It has a rich berry-cocoa flavor that unites perfectly with our Green SuperFood. Our friends at Sambazon created a supply chain that benefits thousands of local families while protecting the Amazon rainforest through sustainable agriculture. Excellent source of vitamin A from Beta Carotene. Organic Maca - Organic Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a perennial that grows between 13,000 and 14,500 feet above sea level high in the Andian plateaus of Peru. It has tuberous roots that resemble it's relative the radish. It is rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and iron, and contains trace minerals, including zinc, iodine, copper, selenium, bismuth, manganese and silica, as well as B vitamins. It also contains four alkaloids proven in scientific investigation to nourish the endocrine glands, including the reproductive system of men and women. Organic Carrot - Excellent source of vitamin A from Beta Carotene. Carrots are believed to be very beneficial for ocular (eye) health. Organic Beet - High source carotenoids such as lycopene and lutein that supports optimum health. Contains betaine, which stimulates the function of liver cells and protects the liver and bile ducts. Raspberry - Great source of beneficial phytochemicals and antioxidants, which are compounds or groups of compounds that neutralize unstable molecules in humans. Rose Hips - Natural source of Vitamin C. Promotes good health with bioflavonoids and strong antioxidant and immunity support. Pineapple - Good source of digestive enzymes, vitamin C and natural source for flavoring. Green Tea 40% - Since ancient times, green teas have been used to boost immune function. Supports liver health and contains catechins which show a wide range of protective effects, including cardioprotective, chemoprotective, and antimicrobial properties. Acerola Cherry - Nature's richest source of vitamin C. Vitamin C is a premier antioxidant and important for overall health of the immune system. Essential Fatty Acid Fiber Blend
Organic Flax Seed Powder - Flax seeds contain a high percentage of alpha linolenic acid (ALA), which promotes weight loss. This flax is also very high in lignans, which have anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-tumor properties plus, antioxidants. Flax seed contains high levels of the desirable Omega-3 oils that are also found in fish. Apple Pectin Fiber - Helps modulate blood glucose by slowing its absorption into the bloodstream. It also chelates toxins, such as heavy metals, in the intestinal tract. In addition, soluble fiber helps maintain normal cholesterol levels by binding the bile salts that cause the body to break down cholesterol to manufacture even more bile salts. Digestive Enzymes and Active Culture - Pre & Pro Biotic BlendFOS from Chicory Root - (Fructo-oligosaccharides) are naturally occurring short-chain polymers composed of simple carbohydrates (fructose and sucrose). FOS are not metabolized by the body like simple sugars are and, therefore are considered soluble fiber. They occur naturally in bananas, garlic, onions, artichokes, and a variety of other plants. Our premium FOS comes from Chicory Root. FOS are considered prebiotic, because they feed beneficial intestinal bacteria (probiotics), particularly Bifidus. FOS are low-calorie sweeteners and are only half as sweet as sucrose, while having minimal caloric value. Probiotics - L Acidophilus: Balanced spectrum of beneficial bacteria found in human intestinal tracts. Regular intake of beneficial probiotics can aid in maintaining healthy intestinal flora. Digestive Enzyme Blend - Tom Bohager explains enzymes in his book 'Enzymes: What the Experts Know' as. "A powerful blend of unique proteins that contain energy. Enzymes are the catalysts that provide organisms with the formation, breakdown and rearranging of molecules to provide organisms with the energy and materials to live and function." Alpha and Beta Amylase - breaks down carbohydrates, Protease - breaks down and hydrolyzes proteins, Lipase- breaks down lipids (fats) Lactase- breaks down lactose, Cellulase - breaks down cellulose.

Amazing Grass Story How they got started…. Amazing Grass' Story They started this business out of their garage (actually Brandon's dining room table) in San Francisco, California in 2002. Two guys with a desire to build a grass roots business that compliments their passion for the outdoors and a healthy lifestyle. Both founders, Brandon and Todd, spent years in the "corporate grind" and realized how stress from the workday and poor eating habits adversely affected the lives of the typical American. They became convinced that phrases "I'm exhausted" and "I think I'm coming down with something" directly reflected that daily stress and inadequate diet.
Co-workers at a previous job, Todd noticed that Brandon was always drinking this "green drink" and seemed immune from the office flu and the contagious mid-afternoon yawn. It wasn't long before Brandon was supplying Todd and the rest of the office with wheat grass. After trying it for a couple weeks and picking up a book on it's incredible benefits, Todd became a true believer. As word spread, Brandon developed a long list of friends hooked on wheat grass that often called or stopped by his house to replenish their supply. The number of wheat grass believers grew so fast that Brandon's supply couldn't keep up. His freezer was getting pillaged on a daily basis. (They know this sounds like a scene from "Cops", but they swear its just wheat grass!)
With the help of a college class from Cal Poly SLO, their families and great friends (not to mention the support of their "AMAZING" and patient…OK… extremely patient wives), they started their company called "Amazing Grass". Amazing Grass' goal is to educate the world and share the amazing benefits of wheat grass that are coveted by those who are already in "the know." It is their passion to help people live healthier lives. They pledge to always listen to their customers, and work to constantly improve, create and offer "healthy" products that are also affordable. It's an amazing adventure to grow this business to reflect their dreams, passions and beliefs.
Today, Amazing Grass offers the most powerful vegetable on earth, consumable in a convenient way that aligns with their hectic lifestyles. They love hearing your stories about how their Amazing Grass products have changed your life. They also encourage their new friends to write us with their stories. The timeless phrase, "you are what you eat", sums up many of the responses. Eat Grass! Get Healthy!

CONCORD — The parents of two young boys killed during the shooting rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut urged New Hampshire lawmakers Tuesday to pass legislation expanding gun background checks to include private sales.
CONCORD — The parents of two young boys killed during the shooting rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut urged New Hampshire lawmakers Tuesday to pass legislation expanding gun background checks to include private sales.
Nicole Hockley, whose 6-year-old son, Dylan, died in the December 2012 mass shooting, told legislators that the horrible pain Sandy Hook families are experiencing due to gun violence could easily happen in New Hampshire. She said background checks didn't save her son's life, but the government must explore sensible solutions to stopping gun violence.
"This law would not have stopped the deranged young man who murdered my son, but it will save someone else's son, daughter, sister, brother, father or mother," she told the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs Committee.
Her son was among 20 children shot to death, along with six educators, at the school in December 2012 before the gunman killed himself.
The bill would require background checks for gun sales and transfers whether at gun shows or online. Private sellers would be required to conduct background checks through federally licensed dealers using a system already in place in all dealer sales. The penalty for breaking the law would be a felony punishable by up to seven years in prison.
Exemptions included transfers among immediate family members, law enforcement and temporary sharing at a gun range or while hunting.
Mark Barden, who lost his son, Daniel, in the shooting rampage, said that when he was considering coming to New Hampshire, he knew Daniel would want him to fight for passage of the legislation to close a loophole in New Hampshire's law.
"Having a background check accompany only some sales is like fixing only part of the hole in the boat," he said.
But a bill sponsor acknowledged that while the proposal would expand background checks to private sales, it would not close another loophole and require New Hampshire to report the names of people judged mentally ill to the government to be part of the background check system.
Federal law bars people who have been involuntarily committed to a mental health facility or declared mentally ill by a judge from legally buying guns from licensed dealers. More than 30 states report names of people judged mentally ill to the government, but New Hampshire is not one of them.
The legislation could only alert a dealer if someone was in the federal background check system due to a report from another state.
The federal law also bars gun purchases by felons, fugitives, drug addicts, people under domestic violence restraining orders and those convicted of certain misdemeanor domestic violence crimes.
Rep. Elaine Andrews-Ahearn, the legislation's prime sponsor, said background checks have proven to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill.
"Fewer guns in the hands of dangerous people means that maybe, just maybe, fewer people will be shot," said Andrews-Ahearn, D-Hampton Falls.
But critics of the bill said criminals would simply sidestep the law to get guns.
Ralph Demicco, owner of Riley's Gun Shop in Hooksett, said state law already requires people selling a gun privately to know the buyer.
"Do you actually suppose someone intent on committing mayhem will go through a background check or seek a firearm someplace else?" he said.

DOJ may use retired police officers to investigate APD
A swarm of federal experts will soon infiltrate the Albuquerque Police Department as part of a federal investigation.
Those experts, according to the Department of Justice, have extensive experience in contemporary policing standards. Some will be seasoned, retired police officers and active chiefs from across the country.
Investigators will even ride along with the men and women of APD.
"We will examine departmental policies and practices; review records and interact with officers in the field," said Thomas Perez, the assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division said.
APD's Internal Affairs Division will also be investigated to make sure the force's top brass isn't turning a blind eye to excessive force.
The DOJ announced their investigation into Albuquerque police at a Tuesday news conference.

The Aragon page is the main interface to the Aragon Online game. This shows you the statistics of your game and your region, and has an interface to the World of Aragon maps. The World map is 97 hexes by 97 hexes in size. On the left are Compass navigation controls which allow you to scroll across the world map, and to examine the more detailed maps. This screen also displays information on several subjects, and current Player and City data.
You can scroll around the world map by using the compass icon. If you wish to see the entire World Map, clicking the World icon will display a thumbnail view of the World of Aragon, displaying the names of the major places in the world.
The Aragon world map allows the player to explore Aragon with their army by placing the cursor on the desired map location and clicking MOVE TO on the Unit Action Menu to the left of the screen. Then click the NEXT TURN button. The length of a turn on the World level is one week, and the current date is displayed in the upper left hand corner.
As play begins, each player controls one Region, and the City within that Region. Clicking a hex, then using the Region button will display the Region map for that world hex. You can see the location of the cities in the Region on this map, if any. The Region is the area controlled by a player, or empty world hexes uncontrolled by anyone. Armies may move and encounter other armies on the Region level. The length of a turn on the Region level is one hour.
Clicking a hex on the Region Map and using the Tactical button will display the highest detail map corresponding to that Region hex. This is the scale of map where the Development of cities is displayed, and where battles will be fought. The length of a turn on the Tactical level is one minute.
Turn Sequence
The turn sequence in the World of Aragon corresponds to the three levels of detail. On the highest level, the Aragon map, turns are 1 week long. Each week your city data will be updated to reflect current income and expenses and developments will progress toward becoming fully built and productive.
The next higher level of detail is the Region screen. Here turns are one hour in duration. Any units assigned to move on the Region map will progress toward their goal as far as they can during that time. If units are not moving, using region turns will rest them, restoring stamina and regaining spells.
The highest detail level is the Tactical screen. Here turns are one minute in duration. Any units actions will be executed when Next Turn is clicked. This is the level where battles will be fought with other forces, so there are many more options available than the previous scales.

Post subject: traveling with my 18 year old son to Paris in May
I'm new here, but so glad to have discovered this site. It has all the things I love about Paris. I'm so excited to travel to Paris again next month. I'm taking my son for 10 days, he's into photography, good food, exploring and just so easy to get along with. I just want to walk around and discover Paris all over again and share my love for the city with my son. My question is to anyone out there who may have any suggestions for me. Since we have a nice long time, is there a must see, or an excursion or a festival or event going on that I should not miss. We will be there from May 22-June1. Merci beaucoup en advance.

Alecia! Welcome to C & Z!! I'm thinking for an 18 year old young adult male there are a few unusual sites in Paris worth considering. There is a delightful tour of the sewers available--takes about an hour, the entrance is somewhere along the banks of the Seine. Contrary to what one might think the sewers are clean, odourless and fascinating (I think a sewer is un egout--accent acute over the "e"). The other one is the catacombs. When Paris was rebuilt the planners had to figure out what to do with all the bones in dozens of neighbourhood graveyards. So they dug them all up and transported them to what was probably the outskirts of Paris at the time, built underground tunnels and then piled all the bones down there labelled with the name of the original graveyards. Yes it is morbid, but it's also fun and interesting--but most of all it is unusual and the kind of thing a teenage male would get a kick out of! Okay I was in my late 40's when I saw them and I still got a kick out of it!

There is a book called Paris secret and another called Paris Insolite
Both have great things in them that are a bit unusual.
David, sorry, but the reason the bones were put into the catacombs was overcrowding in the cemetaries. They actually had so many people buried in them that bodies occassionally couldn't be covered over as not enough soil.
There is now a "lease" type arrangement were you buy the family plot for 99years (I think) and you can bury your loved ones there and at the end of the time period you must either renew the contract, or the plot is sold.
In most large graveyards in Paris and other urban centres they also disinterre the remains and the bones are then transferred to the ossuary. A great example is in Pere Lachaise. The catacombs are basically a huge ossuary!
Pere Lachaise cemetery is interesting as it has "graves" of famous people in it....... but the people are actually buried elsewhere. The reason for this is that no one wanted to be in a new graveyard so in order to make it appealing they made false graves for famous people in there. If you can do a guided tour of Pere Lachaise it is fascinating.
If you do go to the catacombs, please do not touch the bones. There is a huge temptation for some people to touch them and old bones actually carry some really nasty "bugs". I cringed when I saw people touching the bones down there and when we got out I made my husband clean his hands with antibac solution.
If you cannot feel your arteries hardening, eat more cheese. If you can, drink more red wine. Diet is just "die" with a "t" on the end. Exercise is walking into the kitchen.

Welcome, Alecia!
If your son is into photography, you could visit the Maison Europeenne de la Photographie (
). They've always got several interesting shows on, and it's in a lovely part of town. You might also want to check out the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson (
If the weather cooperates (and I should imagine it will when you're there), one of my favorite Paris walks is along the Canal St-Martin, starting from Republique and going all the way up to the Bassin de la Villette. If you're feeling particularly energetic, you could turn right at the metro tracks and walk up to the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, which is one of the best (and most unusual) parks in Paris and a great spot for a picnic. There are also boat trips up the canal, starting from the Bassin de l'Arsenal (down by Bastille) - I've never taken one, but have often been tempted to.
Hope that gives you some food for thought!

Hi Alecia,
Welcome to the forum
I'd like to recommend you to the fresh food market at La Motte-Picquet Grenelle (
the 15th Arrondissement of Paris
) which has a Metro station and you'll find the market underneath the (train) subway bridge. I think its only on Saturday's and Sunday's in Summer.
I don't know the name of the market - but it's the best food market I've been to in Paris. They sell fresh hot food, seafood, coffee, pastries, bread and lots more. Shop around because some stalls have the same goods but you will find good prices if you look carefully.
Here's some information about the area which is my favourite part of the city. It's a really lovely 30 minute or maybe a bit more (depending how fast you walk) from La Motte-Picquet Grenelle towards and via Cambronne to the Tour Eiffel (Eiffel Tower). Cambronne is 1.5km to the Eiffel Tower.
If your looking for a cheap but comfortable hotel surrounded by cafe's, bistro's, metro station, pattiserie, pharmacy, parks etc I suggest booking a hotel in Cambronne - which would be less than a 5 minute walk to La Motte-Picquet Grenelle market.
I always stay at the IBIS Hotel in Cambronne, I love the area, its not too touristy and its got lots of great shops and for the distance to the Eiffel Tower etc.
Here is the hotel:
June is a very touristy time so you'll find most of the hotels are a bit pricey at this time of the year so if you haven't booked I would book soon to avoid further summer rate increases, or check online for special online cheap rates which means you can book for a flat rate per night but if you can't make the journey for some reason or another the rates may be non-refundable but that's a great way of saving some money.
Cambronne is the next stop from La Motte-Picquet Grenelle so if you stayed in Cambronne you would follow the metro subway bridge to the left towards La Motte-Picquet Grenelle and you'll have no trouble finding the market.
I suggest you bring the following on your trip:
plasters (for blisters, cuts etc)
headache tablets
antacid tablets - the food is gourmet here and takes getting used to
very good walking shoes
a foldaway small umbrella
a map of paris metro (you can get this at the big stations or bookshops)
a lonely planet, frommers etc guide to Paris
If your planning to go to Disneyland Paris in Marne-La-Vallée, which is not too far a train journey from the centre of the city, I'd suggest you book your tickets in advance online - otherwise you'll be waiting in long queues for hours, especially during European school holidays and summer time.
English version of the website.
Also make sure you bring Euro money with you, if you have any old money from past visits you won't be able to use because they don't honour French Francs anymore. I'm sure you know about that, but it is worth mentioning (because you said you hadn't been there for a while).
If you wanted to go to London this is also possible and it would take about a 2 and a half hour "Eurostar" train journey from Paris Gare du Nord Station to London St. Pancras Station (the train is hi-speed and goes underneath the English Channel). Some people refer to it as the Chunnel but most call it by its proper name, The Eurotunnel.
I just thought I'd mention that because it really is a quick journey and you could possibly alter your itinerary for a 2 or 3 day trip to London.
If you want to do that you'll need to book train tickets at:
I hope you enjoy your trip to Paris.

Alecia, I haven't been to Paris since the 90s, but if you can get a small book called the Plan de Paris, get it. It's like a London A-Z, a street map that goes arrondissement by arrondissement. There is a Metro map in the front and it has an index of museums and churches too.
He, and you might like the Musee de Cluny, which has medieval stuff and there is the Musee de Montmartre, near our very own Debbie as well!

Hi Alecia,
if your son is into photography I would definitely recommend the MEP ( maison europeenne de la photographie ) which has Cartier-Bresson and Gerard Uferas shows right now. It's located in the Marais, an area you also want to visit. The address is 5-7 rue de Fourcy, 75004 and the closest metro station is Saint-Paul.
if you want to have lunch or dinner in a nice bistrot offering an inventive and tasty cuisine, one of my favorites is " Carte Blanche ", located 6, rue Lamartine Paris 9th tél : 01 48 78 12 20 ( you should make a reservation especially for dinner ). Prices are quite reasonable, and it's a cosy and warm atmosphere.
Enjoy your trip and your stay !

Davis, Royals can't stop trend against Nats
Righty undone in four-run inning as KC's skid reaches seven
KANSAS CITY -- There doesn't seem to be much middle ground for the Royals this season. They're either streaky good or streaky bad.
Right now, they're in a bad streak. The Kansas City club lost a seventh straight game, 7-2, to the Washington Nationals as 28,023 fans gathered on Saturday night at Kauffman Stadium. The Nationals, streaky good right now, won their fifth straight.
You might remember some of this: The Royals started out 17-10 prior to a 6-22 stretch mostly in May. Then they got on a 20-12 roll, but were 0-5 right before the All-Star Game. After the break, they roared away 19-5, but have since gone 2-10.
It's puzzling and manager Ned Yost has no answer.
"I'm not gonna figure it out. What's going to happen is we're going to get some hits and we're going to win a game, and then we're going to come back and we're going to get on a roll again," Yost said. "There's no figuring it out."
Along the way, they've won nine and six in a row, and lost eight and now seven in a row.
"Once we can get it going, once we can stop the slide, we can start pushing our way back uphill again but, for some reason, stopping slides is tough for us," Yost said.
At the moment, his team sits exactly at .500 (64-64) with 34 games remaining. Who knows what kind of streakiness is ahead?
Yost took a stab at it.
"This team has another good run in it. It sure does," he said.
This was "Salute to the Negro Leagues Night" and the teams wore replica uniforms from the 1942 Negro Leagues World Series between the Homestead Grays, who represented both Washington and Pittsburgh that year, and the Kansas City Monarchs. The Monarchs, featuring Satchel Paige and Buck O'Neil, won all four games.
No such luck for the Royals wearing Monarchs red-and-white garb. The Homestead Grays finally extracted their revenge.
The gray-and-dark blue-clad Nationals rolled up a 7-1 lead by the sixth inning against Royals starter Wade Davis. They broke a 1-1 tie with four runs in the fourth inning as Tyler Moore delivered an RBI double to the wall and Chad Tracy blooped a two-run single.
"I was making mistakes over the plate. I made a couple mistakes with two strikes when I was ahead of guys and I can't do that," Davis said.
Ian Desmond's two-run homer came in the sixth inning. Wilson Ramos led off with a single and Desmond pounded his 18th homer over the left-field wall.
"I got ahead of him 0-2, made a bad pitch, left it over the plate and he hit a home run," Davis said.
That was Davis' last inning and he surrendered the seven runs on eight hits and three walks He is 6-10, his ERA is up to 5.67 and he's lost five of his last nine starts.
Yost said he wouldn't make an immediate decision on Davis' future in the rotation.
"Those are questions that need to be well thought-out," he said. "You can't make an emotional decision after a game."
Is it a question that does need to be thought-out?
"Yeah, definitely," he replied. "In all fairness, I think it is. Yeah."
Nationals right-hander Jordan Zimmermann gave up a run in the third inning. That was the result of singles by Alcides Escobar, Emilio Bonifacio and Eric Hosmer. It was Hosmer's 17th RBI in August.
Zimmermann pitched into the eighth inning, but left with two out and two on base. Left-hander Fernando Abad gave up a run-scoring single to Mike Moustakas and walked Justin Maxwell to load the bases. But Abad struck out David Lough to squelch the threat.
Now 15-7, Zimmerman shares the National League lead in victories with the Cardinals' Adam Wainwright.
"Not only was he making good pitches with his fastball, he had a good slider," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "He wasn't flying open. He used his changeup better than I've seen him use it all year. He probably threw 12-15 changeups, outstanding changeups to the left-handers. It was a great effort."
The Royals find themselves 11½ games behind in the American League Central and eight games out in the Wild Card race.
Their streakiness now has them trending downward.
"It's frustrating," the Royals' Alex Gordon said. "No one likes losing streaks and no one likes being in a seven-game losing streak after we were playing so well. It's frustrating, but we're professionals so we just need to come out here and keep playing, keep grinding, keep trying to get victories."

Previous Program Review Process: Examples
From 2000 through 2009 NJIT used a rigorous program review process that functioned as a program audit. Criteria for the review included faculty qualifications and scholarly productivity, research dollars, teaching loads, cost per credit hour, enrollment, retention and graduation rates, time to degree, degrees awarded, courses offered, and so forth. As an audit process through which inefficient or underutilized programs could be terminated, departments were reluctant to participate. As well, the process offered little that would help instructors design a gap analysis—a determination of that which students learned, where students had fallen short, and where curricular revision was justified.
Simply put, the old program review process was not robust enough to provide a framework to assess and monitor student learning outcomes. The new program review process implemented in 2010 changes the focus from a contentious audit to a forward-looking model: one that helps the university determine that students have knowledge, skills, and competencies consistent with NJIT goals. The new program review process is enabling NJIT to determine that, at graduation, our students have achieved goals appropriate to New Jersey's science and technology research university.
Listed below are our former Program Review Guidelines and examples of programs that were reviewed successfully under the former process.
