Nifedipine is sometimes used as a
tocolytic medicine during
preterm labor to slow uterine contractions. Nifedipine
is taken only by mouth (orally) as a tablet or capsule.
Nifedipine, a calcium
channel blocker, is more commonly used to treat high blood pressure and heart
Smooth muscle tissue, like the uterus,
needs calcium to contract. Nifedipine blocks the passage of calcium into
certain tissues, relaxing the uterine muscles and smooth muscles of blood
vessels throughout the body.
Nifedipine is used to treat preterm labor when:
Small studies so far show that
nifedipine may work better than other drugs to slow or stop preterm labor, with
fewer problems for newborns.1
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug
Reference is not available in all systems.)
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
When you are pregnant or breast-feeding, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

UPDATE: HBO has confirmed the breakdown of directors below.
This one's for those who are interested in some of the minutia of the production. We've previously tried to piece together which directors were directing each episode, and we had about half of them figured out after some speculation. The last pieces of the puzzle seem likely to have fallen into place, if this CV from an actor on the show - Darren Killeen, credited as "Baratheon Guard"—is anything to go by.
In it, he lists his experience on the show as covering episodes 3 and 5, and Alik Sakharov (first season cinematographer) and David Petrarca as the directors. Assuming that they're listed in the correct order (and we believe they are, because we know for a fact that Petrarca directed episode 4, and it's common for directors to get continguous episode blocks to work on), here's who we think are directing the ten episodes of the second season of Game of Thrones:
We'll double-check with HBO to confirm these, but other than the slight possibility of Petrarca and Sakharov swapping episodes, this seems to be correct.
(Thanks to The Rabbit for the pointer to Killeen's CV.)

An Australian variety show host has apologized for a racist skit that lampooned the Jackson Five and left guest judge Harry Connick Jr. mortified.
Connick, who had been invited to judge acts on the show, was visibly shocked by the skit, in which four men with afro wigs and blackface sang and danced behind a Michael Jackson impersonator wearing white makeup. Connick, 42, gave the performance a zero score and told them that if it had been done in the U.S. it would have been pulled off the air.
Daryl Somers, host of "Hey Hey It's Saturday Night," apologized to Connick at the end of the live show.
"I know that to your countrymen, that's an insult to have a blackface routine like that on the show, so I do apologize to you," Somers said.
Connick said he would not have appeared on the show if he'd known about the skit.
"I just want to say, on behalf of my country, I know it was done humorously, but we've spent so much time trying to not make black people look like buffoons, that when we see something like that we take it really to heart," he told Somers after his apology.

The Hamburger Kunsthalle art museum, which holds works from a good eight centuries (such as Caspar Friedrich's "Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog", pictured here) is celebrating its 150th birthday. A comprehensive program of events kicks off August 23.
Lauryn Hill, U.S. rapper and former frontwoman of the hip-hop group Fugees, only produced a single album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. That was 21 years ago, but it's regarded as a milestone of neo-soul. This month, the singer is performing in Germany: August 27 in Cologne and August 29 in Berlin.
I took this on the waterfront in Vancouver, looking toward Vancouver Harbour and the North Shore Mountains. "Digital Orca, 2009" is a sculpture by Canadian artist and author Douglas Coupland, and to me, it's both wishful and optimistic.
According to Apulian legend, the venom from a tarantula bite makes you dance like crazy, which is where the festival La Notte della Taranta gets ist name. An array of concerts, folk dances and wild parties, it is held all over Apulia, southern Italy, every August.

The year is 2536. Cyborgs have taken control of the war-riddled remainder of the world, where only one competitive sport remains — motorball. Somehow, iconic ESPN sportscaster Scott Van Pelt has survived to announce the life-or-death game and introduce its prodigy rookie: Alita, the Battle Angel. We created the gritty, shadowy universe of post-apocalyptic sportscasting, giving SVP's set a fun and futuristic facelift complete with holographic screens, icy blue LED walls, and a cyborg-makeover for Scott himself.

"Everything at some point has been declared the root of all evil."
― Criss Jami, Killosophy
Though the sins have fluctuated over time, the currently recognized list includes
pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth. There is a parallel tradition of seven virtues.
The seven deadly sins are called "capital" because they are the origins of other vices.

Onesize presented a treatment which gave them urban, underground settings, levatating and shape shifting objects. The result is a 30" campaign-film (and 3 X 10" cutdown's for SnapChat) with the looks of a music video, supporting Under Armour's "Spine" shoe-line for sale at Finish Line stores.

Under Armour empowers athletes everywhere, they deliver the most innovative sports clothing, athletic shoes and accessories. Since 2012, UA delivers the official kit for north London Football Club Tottenham Hotspur.
Firing up their brand-awareness in Europe and introducing the new 2013/2014 kit, Baltimore based Under Armour chose Onesize as a partner to produce and direct 6 viral films to live on the web, in-store and on screens at the White Hart Lane Stadium, home of the Spurs.
For the reveal of the 2013 Spurs kit, the creative team of Under Armour came up with a writing and a concept which involved casting actual Spurs fans and Spurs athletes.
Onesize suggested a raw and gritty visual style to the written script. A handheld and docu-style approach was a pefect fit to communicate the rawness and power of the Spurs.
On location at the brand new Spurs training facilities and urban London streets, D.O.P Michael Coulter (Academy Award Nominee) shot the entire film with the Arri Alexa from his shoulder on the fly.
We weren't sure which players were going to leave Tottenham Hotspurs, so Under Armour requested us to shoot extra players, just in case. In the end All athletes we shot were used in the film, mainly due to the historical transfer of star player Gareth Bale.
The dailies were brought back to Onesize's Amsterdam HQ, where the complete post production process, down to final delivery, was done in-house.

To sum things up, the experience puts YOU (the user) in the pilot's seat of 'Sankhara' a space probe just as it is prepping for launch. Through simple gaze-based interactions, the user will both launch and pilot the probe on a vast and beautiful journey across the cosmos. There will also be a mysterious surprise waiting for the user as he or she approaches her destination, involving further interaction and choice. All of this is wrapped in a beautiful art style, and is set to a narrated excerpt from T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets.
The experience is currently in Alpha development in Unity3D, and our goal is to launch the finished project in early 2016. It will be available as a downloadable app that works with Google Cardboard, and also will be playable directly in-browser as 360 video. An exciting note about the teaser website is that it runs using WebGL (browser-based 3D tech) that even works on mobile!
Stay tuned to experience Sankhara in early 2016!

Born in 1786, inventor Thomas Hancock is credited with being the father of the British rubber industry – as well as coming up with various processes, he patented the method of vulcanizing rubber with sulfur so that the material becomes stronger.
Every year Converse collaborates with the British luxury label Hancock on a new collaborative shoe line and this year they asked Polyester Studio to make a sexy little product video to show off their results. This year the shoe is highlighted by a pattern taken from original drawings of rubber plants from Hancock's notebook from the 1800s.

Pearl Jam teamed up with Onesize and the talented artist SIT to design and create the poster for the first show of their European Tour. The animated video was displayed on the massive 990272.88 square feet (9200m2) LED exterior of the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam during the 2 concerts of the band.
On June 15th, Kallenbach Gallery in Amsterdam organized the "Pearl Jam Pop-Up Shop" where fans could get their hands on authentic merchandise and signed tour posters by SIT. The event was a huge succes, a massive 1000+ fans visited the gallery.

After Hector Ayuso had put Onesize in touch with graphic artist James White (aka Signalnoise) to collaborate on OFFF Barcelona 2015 Main Titles, the question arose: "How will the styles ever mix?"
They chose to give the audience a souvenir by printing the titles in the form of a card deck. Fifty three designs were made by James White and his team (back in Canada), while Onesize developed two 80s TV Commercials, selling the card deck and promising a better life for dysfunctional families.
This film tells a story about Jason, a boy who bought this deck of cards 30 years ago as a last resort to save his family. It all turned out quite different for him and he blames Sean - the kid in the commercials - whose "no losers, only winners" catchphrase has eaten through Jason's life like a cancer. Now, in present time, Jason's journey of revenge is coming to a close.
Before the film was shown to the audience at the festival, over 2000 printed versions of the card game where handed out to every single person in the room as "take-away titles".

Reject The Recession And Create A Thriving Legitimate Online Home Business Opportunity. Part II
During time when the main news stories focus on business downsizing, the rising costs of goods and services, higher unemployment and a general economic down turn, feelings of depression usually follow. But as a Legitimate Online Home Based Business Opportunity business owner you have two choices: you can let the media send you into depression or you can view the economic downturn as an opportunity. During these times in the economy story, historically millionaires are created. While some businesses are giving up and closing their doors, their competitors are seizing opportunities. Which side would you rather be on? Now is the time for you to rise above it and stay a step ahead of your competition and Reject the Recession and check possible ways here!
Here are five ways to thrive in tough times:
1. Revitalize The Old Customer List: Many previous existing or past clients could be re-energized with a fresh reminder e-mail of new products or services you have developed recently. Knowing that they have conducted previous business with you makes it far more likely that they will again in the future. Keeping fresh content before previous customers keeps you reaching out and reminding them that you are still there. Occasionally ask these customers for referrals, offering them powerful incentive such as a cash or product gift for a new referral. Treat these referrals with special care and attention.
2. Refurbish the Ship: If you realize that business has slowed down a little, it is a good time to review you procedures and policies to see if they still make sense in the present economy. Are your customer service policies still meeting your standards? It becomes a time to assess whether your business can perform even better. Are there any strategies that may improve your customer loyalty with improved products and services? Seize the opportunity to look at your business under a microscope to improve it completely.
3. Customer Feedback: Do you presently provide your customers with the opportunity to provide feed back via comments on your blog or have you surveyed your customers asking specific questions that you perceive as potential concerns which would provide specific feed back. Tools at Survey Monkey http: //www.SurveyMonkey.com can assist you with this issue very easily. When you receive the survey results take some time to evaluate the results and take specific action to make improvements. It is also valuable to share the business improvements created due to results of the customer's responses to the survey.
4. Watch the Bank Account: Previous economical cycles are have existed since the 1920s and the economy has rebounded before and will again. The anxiety during this period is usually due to not knowing when it will rebound. It is important to assess your potential need prior to it happening and check with the appropriate backups with a plan to forge ahead.
5. Focus On Your Business Goals: Use the time to sharpen your skills by checking your goals, start taking classes, reading books, checking the Internet and networking with other business industry colleagues and there may be the possibility of a joint venture project. Check out possible trade associations in your industry and see that your business is at the top of its game plan. Are there possible outsourcing services that take considerable amount of your time? Can you possibly get bookkeeping service for your business so you can direct and focus your time on marketing strategies that you do best?
It is an excellent time to build your Legitimate Online Home Based Business Opportunity bigger, better and stronger. Leave the worrying to your competitors while you seek out opportunities and remain positive. With the correct positive directed energy that is focused on your business you will find outstanding positive results. Check possible ways here!
Reject The Recession And Create A Thriving Legitimate Online Home Business Opportunity. Part I
In a time when the lead news stories focus on business down sizing, governments bailing out large automobile corporations and general economic turmoil, it is difficult to avoid feeling depressed. Along with this there are the secondary effects of the "1 out of 5″ sub-prime default rates causing another chain reaction of rising interest rates and falling home prices engendering even still more defaults with the added foreclosures causing the cycle to repeat in a downward spiral. But as business owners of a Legitimate Online Home Based Business Opportunity we have two choices: we can let the media send us into panic mode and start crying "the sky is falling in" or view the economic downturn as a way to become creative and view it as an opportunity. Create employment for those unemployed and provide those needy options that people need right now. During other economic down turns, it has been through these times that millionaires have been created. While some businesses are giving up and closing their doors the entrepreneurial competitors are checking out creative opportunities. Where do you find yourself? I encourage you to seize the opportunity and rise above your competition and Reject the thought of Recession and check this out.
Following are five ways to seek a Legitimate Online Home Business Opportunity and survive the tough times.
1. Marketing Is Still The Key: Your first impulse may be to cut back on costs, which is possible in some areas, but cutting back on marketing at this time would be the worst thing to do. As the economy begins to turn around studies have shown that businesses that continue marketing through a depressed economy are the ones that come back the strongest when the economy begins to recover. Develop a market strategy and stick to it. If the current plan is not working then try new strategies because when implemented correctly, marketing is an expense that should pay for itself. Do your homework to find the correct strategy and keep marketing.
2. Cut The Cost Of Your Products Or Services: The reality is that consumers will cut back on their spending through a recession and hang on to their dollars. Now is the time to discount the prices as customers realize the lower prices they will note that those prices have never been this low and be tempted to buy anyway. It is a good time to re-evaluate your pricing strategy and offer discounts off your most popular products and services especially discounts on large quantity orders. Promote and advertize your new lower prices and remember you can always raise these prices later!
3. Promote On The Internet: Increase your web presence through additional web sites and blogs. Provide greater content so the message gets out that you have discounted your products and services and pick up more customers because other businesses may be pulling back. Check out your e-mail marketing services by optimizing it with the best service possible. Now is a great time to optimize the search engines that you are using for your website and blogs. Spending a few hours comparing services you may find a better service during this time as other businesses check they service during these down times. You may find that implementing a new online marketing and sales strategy may be very cost effective. Check out gift certificate purchases to your website and you may uncover a whole new revenue stream. Seeking out an online marketing expert who can evaluate new opportunities and create new strategies.
4. Check Out The Minds of Friends and Colleagues: take a morning with your staff or an evening with close friends that know your business and brainstorm potential opportunities. Try leveraging the magic that a group brain storming activity will provide as the juices begin to flow with some good synergy even though you may start from a blank slate. Just asking for ideas you might be surprised by the creative results.
5. Uncover A New Niche: The previous hustle and bustle of your business may have prevented you from checking out a new niche that has come across your mind. Now might be the time to focus and uncover a new niche that would complement your existing products or services. Added services or product components with reasonable costs may provide added bonuses to your business. Check out the new market opportunities and optimize a strategic plan of attack.
This provides you with the opportunity to plan and optimize the advantages of your Legitimate Online Home Business Opportunity. Adjusting your plan and uncovering new possibilities are much better ways to focus your positive energy and find ways here.

Thankfully, Just Dance 2 is an obvious improvement from the past games. The basic presentation is still the same but the score system is better reflects the quality of the dancing and is more accurate and organized.
Super Gamer Dude
Nintendo Wii
The basic idea of this game is to pick a song to dance to, take a grip of that Wii Remote and follow the dance moves on the screen as closely as you can. The Wii remote will track your movements and you'll earn points based on your performance. Each move earns rating comments ranging from bad through to OK and good,right up to perfect. When the song ends, your total score will be racked up and your friends can then try to beat you. Various songs are included in this game which is suitable for a wide variety of players.
There are songs for teenage kids like Toxic, When I Grow Up, Girlfriend, for young adults such as Take Me Out, A-Punk, Move your Feet, and for older folks such as Viva Las Vegas, I Fell Good, Hot Stuff, Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go. Although, there are familiar dance moves that you will have already come across from the previous releases, there are also new dances with new moves and new cool clothes and costumes; tunes such as Walk like an Egyptian and Sympathy for the Devil. Several play modes are available in this game.
Just Sweat Mode, which is not too energetic, for single players which is a set of six songs just for a work-out session and equipped with its calorie counter. There is a Quick Play mode which can be performed by a group of four dancing together. The Battle Mode allows a maximum of eight persons to complete in minigames. Classic, Duet, Simon Says, Medley, and Race also feature mingames.
Thankfully, Just Dance 2 is an obvious improvement from the past games. The basic presentation is still the same but the score system is better reflects the quality of the dancing and is more accurate and organized. The virtual dancers are all two dimensional, painted with neon colors to give them a disco feel, but if you are someone who loves to dance or work out, this does not matter. Overall, the presentation of this game is entertaining with some strange but excellent choreography and various original soundtracks.

Appetiser Cocktail
1/2 Gin. (1 1/2 oz Beefeater Gin)
1/2 Dubonnet. (1 1/2 oz Dubonnet Rouge)
The Juice of 1/2 Orange.
Shake well and strain into cocktail glass.
This was OK; but, I liked it better with a dash or two of Angostura bitters, (which, in the world of the Savoy, probably makes it a different drink). It's not as "dangerously drinkable" as some modern mixed drinks; but it does seem like one of those drinks that make it seem like you're not really having something with hard liquor in it. Then all of a sudden you've swilled three in quick succession and you're pretty drunk. At least you're getting your Vitamin C!
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

Other Game Mods Linked (First full Resource Pack Released)
Posted by HChangeri on May, 27, 2014
While I never quite got around to playing, much less modding, the Sims 3, I have done some small mods for other games. I added a new section on the left that links either directly to the download site or to a page on this site where you can grab any mods you might want. I do NOT offer support for the mods as I do not have all of them installed anymore. Currently I'm playing / modding Minecraft but my support would be limited as resource pack installation aren't exactly rocket science anymore.
Fibercraft 1.0 (128x) is my first full resource pack for Minecraft. It works for any 1.7 version of the game. It was inspired by Little Big Planet and a hard drive full of fabric textures :) Click the picture to learn more about the pack & to download.
Meanings of the Symbols
Posted by HChangeri on October 23, 2013
As you navigate the site you'll find little symbols by the downloads. Sadly, I realized that my alt-text no longer shows and the site that used to list the permissions no longer exists. Therefore, here is a chart of the symbols & their meanings (there are more stuff packs & expansions but I don't own them). The expasion pack symbols are the minimum required for the item to work. This means all the expansions that came after should work but that's not guaranteed.
|You can package the mesh with your houses / lots
|The Sims 2 (base game)
|You can package the mesh with your recolors.
|Recolors allowed (mesh must be downloaded from this site)
|Family Fun Stuff Pack
|H & M Stuff Pack
|Bon Voyage
|Holiday Stuff Pack
|Free Time
|Teen Style Stuff Pack
|Do NOT use with Open for Business
|Celebrations Stuff Pack
|Open for Business
|Glamour Life Stuff Pack
I have granted some exceptions to the permissions, espcially in cases where the modder made a large number of recolors for a single mesh (or set) or they were using a large number of meshes in their lot.
Sims mods are for THE SIMS 2
Posted by HChangeri on March 19, 2011
Just an FYI, all the meshes here are for The Sims 2, not The Sims 3. The last expansion pack I bought was Freetime. I have no idea if my content will work with the EPs that came out afterwards. If you have the later EPs and content doesn't work, then the content doesn't work. The category "Open For Business Ready Sets" is in reference to the change EA made to the Open For Buisness expansion pack. When it was released there were some modifications to items from the base game that rendered some items made prior to its release unusable and in some cases crashed your game. Even if you don't have OFB, if you have EPs that came after OFB, stay in that section for stores. All content not inside that area, but NOT in the "Pre-Open for Business sets" section, is OFB ready. I know its confusing but blame EA for introducing updated code for old items.
I cannot guarantee that any mesh here will absolutely work with your game. There are too many variables to make the guarantee. I can only say that it works in MY game and I have updated/removed/repaired any problem items others reported to me.

Cruise Holidays of Austin
(512) 419-7327
Whether you're a serious aficionado or simply enjoy an occasional glass of wine, there's no better place to indulge your love affair with wine than onboard a cruise ship. Interest in wine, especially among Baby Boomers, has escalated over the past few years and cruise lines are getting onboard by offering lectures, tastings and tours all centered around wine. Some cruise lines have even gone so far as to create and offer their own special vintages of wine.
The fascination with wine has gone hand-in-hand with the upscale culinary experience now being offered aboard many ships. Celebrity chefs, once reserved for television shows and big-city restaurants, have made their way out to sea. "The partnerships between celebrity chefs and cruise lines exemplify today's multi-faceted cruise cuisine. Today's cruise ships have come a long way from the regimented dining rules and endless buffets of years past," according to Terry L. Dale, president and CEO of Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA).
How does a celebrity chef partner with a cruise line? For example, he or she may serve as the cruise line's culinary consultant, shaping passengers' choices for food and eating venues. In addition to creating award-winning menus, the chef also develops the wine lists and assists with the executive restaurant staff training.
If you'd like to hone your wine-tasting skills, you might want to explore your ship's enrichment program. Learn how to taste wines like a professional, or listen to presentations highlighting the special attractions of the upcoming port where you can learn about shore excursions centered on local wineries.
Cruise ships may feature everything from table-top wine service to a dine-in wine cellar, to special wine bars, representing some of the world's premiere winegrowing regions.
Some cruise ships even feature completely wine-centric cruises, with port calls in regions known for their wine.
If you'd like to get a better taste of wine, either onboard a ship or through a land excursion, let Cruise Holidays help you plan a cruise to indulge your passion.

Mmmm deep dish
CHI-TOWN — Back home in the Chicagoland area this week to be on hand for my bro-in-law's wedding. So, you guys are just going to have to live without Bastian bloggage until the Jays return to Toronto. I've already had me some real South Side deep dish pizza and it was glorious.
As for that doubleheader the other day, I doubt Ernie Banks had Cleveland in mind when he famously said "Let's play two." Although, if you're going to watch a double feature, you can't really ask for much more than those two games. Two really good, quick ballgames.
The pitching was outstanding. That might've been one of the best, if not the best, outing of Shaun Marcum's young career. To outduel Cliff Lee the way Marcum did was really fun to watch. And I got to witness only the 14th unassisted triple play in baseball history, which was pretty sweet in its own right.
So, for those of you who were wondering how I was hanging in there that night, I was doing just dandy. Now, if it were a Jays/Yanks doubleheader where it might've been 8-9 hours of baseball, it might've been a different story. The best part was flying to Toronto early Tuesday morning, hopping in the car and driving 8 hours to Chicago and arriving Tuesday night.
In Jays' land, looks like David Purcey will be called up for Friday's start in Philly. No word yet on who will be sent down to clear room. And who would've thunk the Rays would be in first place in the American League East on May 14? It's a crazy world we're living in.
27 Comments
Great decision by The Jays to have Purcey go Friday. The situation came about because of the double header and Burnett was scheduled to go Saturday which would have been on 3 days rest.
Starting Purcey on Friday instead of Saturday, means McGowan goes Saturday, with 1 extra day of rest, Burnett goes on regular rest on Sunday and Marcum, Litsch and Halliday all get an aditional day of much needed rest.
I love how the Rays are playing ball this year. (except against us of course) but here are the standings that I would looooove to see one year.
2.Rays (winning the wild card)
Boston or NewYork, I dont really care who comes in last or 4th for them.
Yesterday Rolen worked the count for 15 pitches but grounded out, today he won with working the count to 11 picthes. He is awsome! Now let's see Stairs get a grand slam!
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! HEEE JUSSTTT DIIIIIDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (hey im actually not complaining for once) I wish it were more like this more often.
You are an absolute pure IDIOT masquerading as someone who pretends to know alot about baseball. The truth is I will say it again you are nothing but an idiot!!!! 4 games out of a playoff spot and you are building the team ( future ) around Dave Purcey and Adam Lind. Ive never in all my years of following sports heard such garbage as you have been preaching the last couple of days. TRADE Roy Halliday, Vernon Wells, B.J. Ryan……. This is a core all now in their prime who will be massively productive for the next 4 to 5 years that few IF ANY teams in baseball can come close to matching. Wells is a perennial gold glover, B.J. a shut down guy, and DOC will be great well into his 40's ( ala Greg Maddux). Halliday legitametly the best pitcher in MLB since Clemens came into the league. YA lets trade these guys for a bunch of Adam Linds' and Dave Purceys', perhaps someone will throw in a couple of Sergio Santos' while their at it. The more I read this site lately the more I realize what a moron you are Gsumner, wasting all your time talking to garryguy who is nothing more than a HICK DONKEY says alot about your intelligence level. If you need someone to stroke your ego that badly then youve got a good friend in your buddy garryguy who idolizes you. The problem is he knows less than you about baseball. You 2 should move to the same town and go fishing together…………….. TRADE OUR BEST PLAYERS FOR A BAG OF BEANS GSUMNER!!!!!
I rarely post but I do read everything . The blog is here to share opinions and ideas. You don't have to agree with each other but the name calling is childish . I am sure we all left kindergarden a long time ago so maybe we can act a little more adult here . I want to thank those of you who do constructively contribute , I enjoy reading your blogs
You guys are so cute when you bicker!
When the Twins and the Jays play you know they are going to be hard fought games . They are well matched and it made for a great series . Now on to Philly , lets hope the Jays keep up the momentum
Something else to talk about I read this morning.
Rosenthal from Fox sports had an article about the Rockies possible wanting to trade Holliday this year(http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/8143654/Rockies-could-be-in-market-to-trade-Holliday). Obviously its just speculation but he mentioned Toronto as a possible suitor. It would probably take 3 or 4 quality prospects to land him, but if Toronto is in the buisness of winning now it could be a great move. Toronto's strength is obviously pitching, and could set up a package of players that would appeal to them. It would be tough but maybe part with McGowan, and a few minor league guys like Brett Cecil, Arencibia, Romero, and Tolisano could all be included. It would definatly hurt the system but it wouldnt kill it. I think it would be a great idea, what does everyone else think?
When I first saw the Holliday possibility I thought why would you give up top prospects and plenty of them for a player you only have for 2 years guaranteed??? Then I thought that 2 years of having a MVP calliber player is pretty good considering we have a very good prospect in Snider coming up in the next couple years and Hollidays salary is way below what his talent level is. If Snider is included in the deal then you would have to sign Holliday long term to justify it, if he would even be willing to sign long term in Toronto.
If you can't throw strikes you can't be a major league pitcher. Clearly Purcey needs work in the minors and isn't ready yet.
Oh what did I just say??? Walk, walk, Dinger
Wow, now a grandslam. Okay, who here thinks that this Bluejays lineup can get out of this 8 run deficet…..not me.
Well they're hacking away at the lead, Hey maybe they will surprize me.
Me either freedom . Purcey needs to throw strikes , let them hit and let the Jays defence back him up . His lack of control or fear the players are going to hit the ball , allows for too many walks and they always come back to haunt you . Major league is a different game from triple A , look at the struggles the Yank's Hughes and Kennedy are going through .
Does it make any sense to put Litche in at this time? Since we are probably going to lose anyway, I wouldve probably left Purcey in. Even if he gives up a couple more runs, it's all about trial and error. That's how these young pitchers learn and mature in the majors.
Twins came back from a 6-0 deficit to beat Boston so there is hope, prayers and crossed fingers……lol
I guess the positive thing to take from this is the Jays (3 runs) sort of beat the Phillies (2runs) but Werth (8 runs) beat the Jays . Here is to getting back on track tomorrow
I don't mean to bash Reed Johnson because I happen to like the way the guy plays, however I would like to point out that the Chicago Cubs have just signed Jim Edmonds to split time with him. Edmonds is hitting below the mendoza line so that tells you what Chicago thinks of the guy whom everybody loves. The fact is signing Stewart at the time was the right move to make for a starved offensive team. Stewart over the course of his career has proven to be a better hitter against righties then Reed. I've never understood people who suggest that Reed is a sparkplug to the offense. If that were the case the Cubs would have him play everyday. It's funny how I haven't read much about him from you guys since his struggles started happening.
Reed Johnson was a good lead off man with a high on base percentage, something the Jays don't have now . I like Johnson, I do think he provided some of the energy to help motivate this team . As for his struggles , he is like the whole jays team that is struggling or every other player who has down times. I read he is more than happy to platoon and has no problem with sharing centre field with Edmonds , Johnson is use to platooning. He wasn't given the chance to play here because Riccardi was concerned about last years back surgery. As for Stewart , I questioned the signing because he has had numerous injuries and his numbers weren't all that different than Johnsons but I have always liked Stewart . If you check their stats now Johnson's ERA is .258 , 1 HR and 17 RBI Stewart's ERA .238 , 0 HR and 8 RBI but there is a lot more to a player than stats. I still wish Johnson was on the jays team
Edmonds was a cheap pick up so Cubs were smart to get him . I don't think Johnson is really struggling all that much . Have a great day all and take care
Hey just one more run and it will be the most we scored in a very long time that I can't even remember.
Indigo, you do make a great point however, to compare stats now is being unfair. No one can predict how a player will be in the future, the best a g.m can do is go by track record. Stewart was coming off a better offensive year then Reed so how can anyone criticize J.P. for going with the guy with the better career offensive numbers when this teams biggest need is clearly offense. I don't mind that you guys like Reed better then Stewart. I do too, but I can't sit here and say that J.p. made a bad decision when at the time I understood why it was done. If this team was hitting well overall I would love to still have Reed platooning with Stairs. It is coming around lately for them though, which has got me really excited.
I was wondering why Halladay was in the game… now they don't use him untill Saturday appearantly.
Question: Does anyone know how many picks the Jays have in the first couple of rounds of this year's draft?

rainy days
I can't find the correct website, but I am sure all the sporting fields will be closed again today owing to the downpour expected soon! And the fact that it has been raining all night and morning. Last week the ovals were closed and the lights stayed off. So we couldn't see to train and in any case the grass was too wet. Same again today.
I won't go out to Dickson, I will hit the gym instead.
And LATE NEWS - the "winner" of the Frylink has owned up to starting off the wrong group (why do they do that? and why accept the trophy afterwards?) so everyone moves up one place - which means Gary Bowen gets the bronze medal! Pity about the presentation and photograph. Still, Gary's run on Sunday was a genuine big improvement and third place is well deserved.

Hugh MacKenzie Sr., who served for a decade as a state representative before working to attract businesses to Eastern Connecticut, died Dec. 20 at age 89.
Born on a Waterford dairy farm, MacKenzie was elected to the state�s General Assembly in 1953 and served 10 years as his hometown�s representative. During his tenure in Hartford, MacKenzie also served on the Waterford Board of Selectmen from 1957-63 and was elected the town�s first selectman from 1963-67.
Mary Carol MacKenzie, Hugh MacKenzie�s wife of 55 years, said her husband was particularly proud of his involvement with the purchase of the Waterford Town Beach, the establishment of the Eugene O�Neill Theater Center and the siting of the Millstone nuclear power plant.
The couple later moved to Windham County, living in Pomfret, Brooklyn and Chaplin, places MacKenzie became familiar with when he worked for the state Department of Economic Development.
�He used to bring his lunch and pull over on the side of the road up there and eat it,� Mary Carol said. �He liked the rural atmosphere there.�
Beginning in 1969, MacKenzie spent 21 years with the department and is credited with bringing several business to Eastern Connecticut, including Frito-Lay in Dayville, Staples in Putnam and BST Systems Inc. in Plainfield. In an 1989 interview, MacKenzie spoke of the advantages Eastern Connecticut had to offer to businesses.
�Eastern Connecticut remains one of the premium manufacturing locations in the state,� he said then. �It has an excellent labor force, offers a prime location within a 250-mile radius of major cities, and real estate costs are substantially lower than elsewhere in the state. To be able to help a company find a suitable location, especially in my home area of Eastern Connecticut, was very rewarding.�
MacKenzie also volunteered with the Brooklyn Housing Authority, helping to acquire the town�s senior center and assisting with oversight of the Quebec Square renovations. Mary Carol MacKenzie described her husband as a humble man who took pride in the part he played in the region�s economic growth.
�He did get a great deal of satisfaction meeting with owners of businesses and property owners,� she said. �And he was pleased with helping to bring a number of jobs to the area.�
State Sen. Donald Williams, D-Brooklyn, who served as Thompson�s first selectan when Hugh MacKenzie was wrapping up his career with the state, said MacKenzie has able to bring a unique persepective to his work in the region.
�He knew Eastern Connecticut, having lived in both in the southeastern and northeastern parts of the state,� Williams said. �And is was terrific to have that voice. He had roots here and was active in every community. He had a vision for development that was respective of the region.�
MacKenzie graduated from Chapman Technical School in New London in 1942 and received a bachelor�s degree from UConn�s School of Agriculture in 1951. As an adult, MacKenzie stayed active in numerous religious, social, political, cultural and agricultural organizations in Waterford, Pomfret and Brooklyn.
After retiring from the state�s payroll in 1989, MacKenzie was active in the Scotland Highland Festival Association of Eastern Connecticut and could be seen reciting the poetry of Robert Burns at local Scottish events.
In addition to his wife, MacKenzie is also survived by his four grandchildren, Jessie and Warren MacKenzie, of New London, and Evelyn and Hugh MacKenzie and their mother, Carol MacKenzie, of Columbia. He was predeceased by a daughter, Molly MacKenzie Blauvelt, and two sisters, Margaret and Mary.

Today's post is from Morris Proctor, certified and authorized trainer for Logos Bible Software. Morris has trained thousands of Logos users at his two-day Camp Logos training seminars.
You've probably noticed that most Bibles are printed in paragraph form. This is great for reading, but when you're studying the Bible verse-by-verse, those little verse numbers are sometimes hard to find. No worries. Logos allows us to display a Bible in list form with each verse starting on a separate line.
- Open a Bible to a desired location
- Click the Visual Filters icon (three circles) on the Bible's toolbar
- Select Bible Text Only
Instantly the Bible transitions to list form! This makes verse by verse study much easier.
Please take note, though, that in Bible Text Only mode, the cross references also disappear. In Bible Text Only mode, the emphasis is on verses only!


text: Alan Hahn reported via twitter that Joe Alexander, former Bucks lottery pick, impressed along with Javaris Crittenton at the Knicks free agent camp. Alexander was the 8th overall pick by the Bucks in 2008 but has been a major disappointment. He was traded to Chicago after his second season and then later traded to New Orleans. He was a D-League All-Star for the Texas Legends. He is a super athletic small forward who has good scoring range. He looked lost when he was last in the NBA and maybe his D-League success will translate to quality NBA minutes moving forward. He would be a nice piece on our bench if he could give us quality minutes as he can score as well as play defense with his long, athletic frame.Follow @tarmosino

Swapping shoes for beach barefeet!
Lausanne, Switzerland, August 11, 2014 - When growing up in the beautiful surroundings of western Canada, Megan McNamara and her twin sister had to make an interesting decision. Do they continue playing softball and soccer? Or do they take off their cleats and play barefoot in the sand to become competitive Beach Volleyball participants?
For Megan the choice was easy. "We enjoyed playing soccer and softball," said the 17-year old Megan, "but Beach Volleyball was different as we both could play together as one team. Beach Volleyball is a growing activity in British Columbia. We first saw Beach Volleyball when were on vacation in Mexico and we played in our first tournament when we were 11."
For the McNamara twins, the transition from the playing fields to sand has been "easy". Megan and Nicole McNamara have been making a name for themselves as the pair enters the upcoming Youth Olympics as one of the top tandems in the 36-team women's competition that begins August 17 at the Beach Volleyball Venue of Nanjing Sports Park Complex in Nanjing, China.
The winners of Canada's senior women's Beach Volleyball championship in 2013 after topping the country's under-16 and U18 podiums in 2011 and 2012, respectively, the McNamara twins have compiled a 14-3 match mark this season in FIVB youth world championships highlighted by a bronze medal finish at the recently-completed under-19 competition in Porto, Portugal.
"Like all teams, our goal is to get to the podium!" said Megan. "It is such an honor to represent Canada in the Youth Olympics. We're excited to meet other athletes from different the sports from all over the world. We are also excited to see China as we've never been there before."
To qualify for the Youth Olympics, the McNamaras had to play in three events to reach Nanjing. "First, we qualified as Team Canada at a tournament in Toronto," said Megan. "Then we went to a NORCECA event in Puerto Rico and placed second that earned us a spot at the last chance qualifier this past March. We won all of our matches again in Puerto Rico to earn us a berth."
In addition to experience at the Canadian championships and the FIVB youth tournaments in Cyprus and Portugal this season, the McNamaras have played in a 2012 American domestic event while competing in a NORCECA tour stop last year in Saint Lucia where the twins finished seventh.
Coached by Mischa Harris and Adriana Bento, the McNamaras have "verbally committed to UCLA in Los Angeles", said Nicole when interviewed August 1 in Porto when the twins celebrated their birthdays by winning their pool in the U19 world championships. "Even before volleyball, our dream was California, so it worked out perfectly. There is really not a better place to play Beach Volleyball than California. We have given up indoor for this next year."
Before attending UCLA, the McNamaras need to complete their senior year in high school in Vancouver along with finishing their 2014 international schedule strong at the Youth Olympics.
"As I said, our goal is to medal in China," said Megan, who is interested in math and business as a student. "Winning the bronze medal in Portugal was surreal, it was almost like a dream. We really have given our best and look forward to competing at a high level again in China. It will not be easy as the Olympics will bring out the best in everyone."
