Rated 5 out of 5 by crogers from Perfect I bought this to go along with the Breville Crispy Crust Pizza Maker and it's the perfect size! I've used it and washed in in the dishwasher regularly since I purchased it and it doesn't show any signs of wear. It's also super light which makes it easy to use and maneuver.Date published: 2018-07-23Rated 5 out of 5 by DrSheri from LOVE Epicurean Pizza Mini-Peel & Cutter I use my Breville Countertop Convection Oven for 100% of my baking b/c I am single, living alone and have some orthopedic limitations. I love this peel for making ANYTHING--pizza, bread, etc--that benefits from using the pizza stone. I also use parchment paper to keep the stone from getting too nasty, as they cannot be washed with soap, and the parchment slides very easily off the peel. Beats using the back of a pizza pan or cookie sheet to get pizza/bread into & out of the oven!Date published: 2013-07-21Rated 5 out of 5 by jessietx from Perfect peel I prefer to make personal size pizzas with fresh dough, so they're easier to transfer onto the pizza stone - this size is perfect for that! I also like the overall design of the peel and that it's dishwasher safe. The material is similar to the Epicurean cutting boards, which I also love.Date published: 2013-07-10Rated 5 out of 5 by junejewel from Great pizza tool for small kitchens! The 10" x 10" is a great surface to prep pizzas or calzones before transferring to a pizza stone already heated in the oven. The composite material is durable and easy to clean. Great product!Date published: 2013-06-21Rated 5 out of 5 by AByck from Super Pizza Peel Excellent versatile product! My pizzas slide in beautifully with just a slight jerk of the wrist.Date published: 2012-04-11

The AllPrep DNA/RNA FFPE Kit is specially designed for simultaneous purification of genomic DNA and total RNA from FFPE tissue sections. Pure DNA and RNA are obtained from the entire sample, in contrast to other procedures where the biological sample is divided into two before being processed separately. Simply dividing a sample in half for separate DNA and RNA purification procedures results in the purification of DNA and RNA from different populations of cells, which may differ in their properties. Purification of DNA and RNA from the same sample also helps to prevent waste, since FFPE samples are precious, often difficult to retrieve, and limited in amount.
Due to fixation and embedding conditions, nucleic acids in FFPE samples are usually heavily fragmented and are often of a lower molecular weight than those obtained from fresh or frozen samples. A major obstacle to isolating DNA and RNA from the same FFPE sample is that fragmented DNA is short and can be partly single-stranded and therefore more closely resembles RNA than intact DNA. This property of fragmented DNA makes physical separation of DNA and RNA difficult. The AllPrep DNA/RNA FFPE Kit uses a patent-pending solubilization method to differentially release DNA and RNA from a single FFPE sample.
Nucleic acids in FFPE samples are also chemically modified by formaldehyde. Although formaldehyde modification cannot be detected in standard quality control assays, such as gel electrophoresis or lab-on-a-chip analysis, it does strongly interfere with enzymatic analyses. The AllPrep DNA/RNA FFPE Kit is optimized to reverse as much formaldehyde modification as possible without further DNA and RNA degradation.
The AllPrep DNA/RNA FFPE Kit is optimized to reverse as much formaldehyde modification as possible without further DNA and RNA degradation; however nucleic acids purified from FFPE samples should not be used in downstream applications that require high-molecular-weight DNA or full-length RNA. Some applications may require modifications to allow the use of fragmented nucleic acids (e.g., designing small amplicons for PCR and RT-PCR). For cDNA synthesis, gene-specific primers should be used instead of oligo-dT primers. If it is not possible to use gene-specific primers, random primers should be used.

Kasey Lange extended her hitting streak to seven games dating back to last season (Gil Talbot).
Video: Lantz Scores Winning Run Against Florida Atlantic
BOCA RATON, Fla. – Day 2 at the Florida Atlantic Classic yielded the same results as the opening day, as the Harvard softball team split games Saturday in Florida. The Crimson (2-2) fell, 3-1, to Eastern Michigan (4-5) in the first game of the day, but bounced back with a 3-2 victory over host Florida Atlantic (6-11) in the nightcap.
The Harvard bats made noise early against the Eagles with Shelbi Olson, Kasey Lange and Stephanie Regan knocking consecutive singles in the top of the first. The hits did not amount to runs, however, as a strikeout and a pop up kept the game scoreless after just one half inning. Eastern Michigan broke through for a run in the bottom of the second when Courtney Loe singled home a runner from second, giving a slight edge to the Eagles.
The score stood that way until the Harvard fifth, where Andrea Del Conte led off with a single and promptly stole second to get into scoring position. Del Conte advanced to third on an EMU error, and came home when Olson drove a single to right field to tie the score at 1-1. Regan picked up another hit in the inning, but Harvard was unable to take the lead. Harvard was able to keep the Eagles scoreless in the fifth, but the bottom of the six proved to be the deciding half inning, when and RBI double and single saw the Eagles plate a pair of runs to take a 3-1 lead. Del Conte led off the seventh with another single, but the Eagles were able to escape the frame to claim the win.
Olson, Regan and Del Conte all had multiple hits in the game for Harvard, while Olson drove in the lone run of the game. Freshman Jamie Halula put forth a strong effort in the circle for Harvard, going 5.1 innings and striking out five batters while allowing three earned runs.
In Game 2, Harvard once again took the lead, although it was an inning later than the game against Eastern Michigan. Del Conte rapped her third single of the day and swiped second with two outs in the top of the third. Kasey Lange followed and the veteran pumped a double to left center, scoring Del Conte easily from second. However, just a half inning later, FAU took the lead for its own, notching back-to-back RBI doubles to take a 2-1 edge into the fifth.
The Crimson recorded yet another three-hit inning in the fifth, but was able to translate the offense into runs. Haley Davis led off the inning with a single, and after moving to second on a Katherine Appelbe sacrifice, came home to score on a Katherine Lantz single. Regan would prove to produce the winning RBI for Harvard, as her two-out single plated Lantz to seal the 3-2 victory.
Gabrielle Ruiz went four solid innings as the starter, with Halula earning the victory in three innings of relief. As a team, Harvard had six hits with Lange and Emily Gusse picking up doubles.
Harvard will look to leave Florida with a winning record when it faces Michigan State tomorrow in an 11 a.m. matchup.

Maker's Mark drew a storm of complaints when the venerable bourbon distiller announced this week it would be diluting its whisky due to anticipated supply shortages, but today it announced it is scrapping the plan.
"While we thought we were doing what's right, this is your brand - and you told us in large numbers to change our decision," the company said in a statement released today. "You spoke. We listened. And we're sincerely sorry we let you down."
Effective immediately, the company said, it was reversing its decision to lower the alcohol content of Maker's Mark, and would resume production at 45 percent alcohol by volume.
"The unanticipated dramatic growth rate of Maker's Mark is a good problem to have, and we appreciate some of you telling us you'd even put up with occasional shortages," said the statement, signed by COO Rob Samuels and chairman emeritus Bill Samuels Jr. "We promise we'll deal with them as best we can, as we work to expand capacity at the distillery."
The response came after angry Maker's Mark lovers took to Twitter to complain about the company lowering the alcohol content.
"Hey, @MakersMark Raise prices if you must, but don't mess with success! Ever heard of New Coke? #bourbon" wrote one Twitter user.
Maker's Mark had said it was forced to make the decision to decreasing the proof of its whisky from 90 proof to 84 proof because of "unforeseen demand." Bill Samuels Jr. had said that the brand wanted to keep its prices competitive.
"While not every part of the country has seen shortages yet, many have, and the demand is continuing to grow at a pace we've never before experienced. While we are investing today to expand capacity for the future, by producing 42 percent ABV Maker's Mark we'll be able to better meet our ongoing supply issues without compromising the taste," he said in a statement.
The one-brand company doesn't purchase bourbon from other distillers, making forecasting difficult. The age range of the whiskey, five years nine months to seven years, had allowed the brand to keep ahead of market shortages in the past.
The owners said they had tested the watered-down bourbon themselves and validated their own findings with consumer research. Both agreed that "there's no difference in the taste," Samuels said.

Nokia Maps and Bing Maps Tie the Visual Knot
Nokia today announced that it and partner Microsoft has refreshed the appearance of Nokia maps to unify the user interface of both the Nokia Maps and Bing Maps systems. Nokia says that the overarching goal of the redesign was to make the maps easier to understand, yet still provide detail and context for what's in view. Nokia said that it has reduced the amount of clutter and icons visible on the maps, as well as toned down its color palette. Nokia explains that maps that are more contextual when expanded, and more detailed when zoomed in. The new version of Nokia Maps will be rolled out gradually, first to maps.nokia.com, to m.maps.nokia.com (the mobile browser version for iOS and Android), and to the Nokia Maps app for Lumia smartphones. The availability of Nokia Maps will expand to other platforms and products from there.

Opera Intros 'Opera Payment Exchange' for Mini Browser
Opera Software today announced the Opera Payment Exchange, a service that it says will act as the go-between for mobile content providers, network operators, and billing systems to enable widespread mobile payments that take place within Opera Mini. Opera is offering APIs to developers so that they can add mobile payment options to their services that function without requiring customers to leave the browser. Opera says the OPX will benefit every part of the mobile commerce ecosystem. End users will get a transaction platform that they can trust to be secure. Operators will get another way to generate revenue and use their existing carrier billing infrastructure. Financial institutions will gain a consistent mobile payment platform with which consumers will be familiar. Opera believes the addressable market for this service, its 160 million Opera Mini users, will entice companies to adopt its APIs and Opera Payment Exchange.

Samsung and Toyota to Connect Smartphones to Dashboards
Samsung and Toyota today announced a new partnership with the goal of integrating smartphones into the in-vehicle infotainment systems of Toyota's cars and trucks. The system will use MirrorLink to make the connection. The cars will use a user interface created by Toyota that is safer to operate when driving a vehicle than the user interface of the smartphone. The system will let drivers access music, location services, hands-free calling, voice interaction, and text-to-speech features of the smartphone through the dashboard. The two companies expect this service to reach commercialization in the second quarter of the year.
AT&T Wants Platform-Agnostic Video Calling
AT&T Mobility CEO Ralph de la Vega asked the wireless industry to agree on a single video calling standard that can be used by all devices and all network types so that customers can more easily use the service. As things stand today, there are plenty of video calling options, but the services are often only compatible with other devices running the same software and platform. De la Vega suggested that the industry use IP Multimedia Subsystems technology, such as the IR.94 video calling standard. When Apple introduced its FaceTme feature with the iPhone 4, it offered the technology to other companies, but so far none have taken up Apple's offer.
Device Renewal Forum Seeks Standards for Recycled Phones
The Device Renewal Forum today detailed its plans to create a series of standards that can be applied to refurbished and recycled cell phones and other electronics. The organization hopes that by setting minimum levels of value given to cell phones that are turned in at the point of sale, and standards for functionality and quality for resold phones, that consumers will be more apt to turn in old devices rather than store them or discard them. Goals include ensuring that only quality devices make it back into the market, creating a process for certifying renewed devices, and applying a label to certified, renewed devices that can be trusted by consumers to show that those devices still have value. Charter members of the Device Renewal Forum include Sprint, eRecyclingCorps, Brightstar, ModusLink Global Solutions, and the CDMA Development Group.

ZTE may have announced eight new smartphones, but only two are headed to the U.S., the PF200 and the N91. Here are our initial hands-on thoughts.
AT&T May Charge App Makers for Consumer Data Use
AT&T is working on a new service offering for application developers that, in effect, would charge the developer for the network data consumed by AT&T's wireless customers. The idea is to help application developers (specifically those that require heavy use of data networks) convince more users to sign up for their services. AT&T's Mark Donovan likened the system to an 800 number service for apps/data. "A feature that we're hoping to have out sometime next year is the equivalent of 800 numbers that would say, if you take this app, this app will come without any network usage," said Donovan to the Wall Street Journal. Donovan said that the service isn't a tax on data-heavy apps, but is instead a potential new revenue stream for the wireless network operators. Donovan said that the idea has garnered interest from its developer customers.
Hands On with Mozilla's Boot To Gecko

How to Create Previous and Next Buttons in Flash CS5
After your Adobe Flash Creative Suite 5 timeline is under control, you need to give Flash CS5 users the ability to move back and forth between the images you've placed across the timeline. You should have a layer on the main timeline with two button instances—one that represents the Previous button and another that represents the Next button.
You can use two instances of the same button symbol or instances of two unique symbols in the library. Follow these steps to create the buttons:
Drag the playhead to Frame 1.
The code you add for your buttons must be added at the beginning of the movie.
Click and select a button to use for the Previous button on the stage.
If the Code Snippets panel isn't already visible, choose Window→Code Snippets to open it, or expand it from its icon view in the panel group on the right.
In the Code Snippets panel, click to expand the Timeline Navigation category.
Locate and double-click the Click to Go to Previous Frame and Stop code snippet.
This step adds some new ActionScript to the existing Actions layer, which is tied to your selected button.
A prompt lets you know that Flash will create an instance name for the new button automatically; click OK.
Click to select the button you'll use for the Next button on the stage.
Within the Code Snippets panel, you should already have expanded the Timeline Navigation category. Locate and double-click the Click to Go to Next Frame and Stop code snippet.
This step adds code to the Actions layer, as shown in the figure.
Save your movie by choosing File→Save. Next, you test it to see your new code in action.
Choose Control→Test Movie.
When your movie launches in Flash Player, click the Next button a couple of times to advance through your images. Click the Previous button to navigate backward.

It has a new black STC soft top with removable windows, factory steel hood with fiberglass scoop, restored rubber/seals throughout, restored windows & doors, new door safety straps. Restored black vinyl front & rear factory stock seats, new retractable shoulder belts front & rear, new Le Carra steering steering wheel & new Alpine CD sound system.

This truck is ready to drive daily or take out for a weekend cruise. This is also a perfect truck to take all the way! It would take someone over $100K to get one to this level from scratch, plus hundreds of man hours. New Warn 8000 LB winch & marine grade wiring & battery cables just installed, along with a new Le Carra steering wheel & air horn system which brings the steering system up to a more modern standard.

MORE UPGRADES JUST COMPLETED. We removed the original 5 turn power steering box, and installed a new Tom Lee Manufacturing 3.2 turn steering box (a $1200 steering gear box) plus a new tie rod & adjustable drag link, then correctly set the alignment.

Car Maintenance Made Easy
Americans are holding on to their cars longer than ever. Keeping an older vehicle on the road is simple with these doable tips from the experts.
Though it pains me to admit this, I drive a 14-year-old minivan that has not looked spiffy since Clinton was president. It goes from 0 to 60 in about 10 minutes. The once-white exterior is now greenish gray, thanks to an algae-like life form that took up residence underneath the paint. On good days the inside smells like a wet dog. You don't want to know about bad days.
Still, it has two clear advantages over a new car: It's paid off and, well, it's paid off. Our goal is to keep this baby rolling until the wheels fall off or my 14-year-old son is old enough to terrorize other motorists, in which case he'll inherit it. (He has already stated his intention to paint the van jet black, sell it, and use that money to "get something better." As if.)
It turns out we're in good company. Due to the shaky economy, people are holding on to cars much longer than they did just two years ago, says John Nielsen, director of auto repair and buying for the Automobile Association of America (AAA). The average age of a passenger vehicle on U.S. roads is now 10.6 years, according to research firm R.L. Polk, and climbing steadily.
There's no secret to keeping an aging vehicle roadworthy. Maintenance is key, along with some TLC. These days you can even add aftermarket extras like an entertainment system or a rear-view camera to give the vehicle some of that "new car" feel, if not the smell. But first off, start with the basics.
Go by the book. You know that owner's manual in the glove box, buried under a fistful of fast-food ketchup packets? Look inside at the maintenance schedule and update your calendar's upcoming tasks list so you remember when you need to bring your car to the service center, says Eric Brock, a retired car technician who now fields auto-related questions on JustAnswer.com.
"Recommended maintenance schedules don't exist just to rip you off," he says. "They were created by the engineers who designed your vehicle and can save you tons of money. The number one reason for engine and transmission failure is customer neglect."
Lubricate as indicated. Changing your oil on schedule is critically important, says Melody Schuette, marketing director for Chevrolet Buick Cadillac GMC Certified Service. With today's synthetic oils, cars can now go 5,000 or even 10,000 miles between changes (no matter how much your father-in-law insists on "three months or 3,000 miles").
Most cars built in the last 10 years have sensors that alert you when the oil needs changing, as well as when to swap out air or fuel filters and top up brake, transmission, and radiator fluids. Heed the signals and you should be fine.
Keep up the pressure. Properly inflated tires prolong your car's life and save you money at the pump, says Lauren Fix, author of Lauren Fix's Guide to Loving Your Car (St. Martin's Griffin) and the Car Coach website (laurenfix.com).
"Check tire pressure at least once a month," she says. "It can add 2 to 3 miles per gallon to your wheels' MPG. If everybody did this monthly, it would save 2 billion gallons of gas a year."
Amy Marentic, a planning manager for Ford Motor Company, recommends ignoring pressure guidelines printed on the tires. Because optimal tire pressure varies depending on the weight of the vehicle, it's better to go by the owner's manual. Check tires when they're cold, and don't overinflate.
Tread carefully. Check the tread to see if tires need replacing or are wearing more on one side, which means they need to be rotated and could signify an alignment issue. If there's no tread-wear indicator (a small bar perpendicular to the tread that indicates the minimum depth), a coin will suffice, says Tom Kenny of Hankook Tire America Corporation. "Place a penny, upside down, in the thickest groove of the tire," he says. "If the top of Lincoln's head is visible, the tire needs to be replaced immediately. If the top of Lincoln's hair is partially visible, you have a little time. If the tread covers Lincoln's forehead, you're good for now."
Switch your wipers. Wait too long to change blades and you could scratch your windshield, which runs $400 or more to replace, says Fix. Fresh wipers also mean better visibility. To extend their life, protect them in bad weather. Before a snowstorm, Marentic puts the blades up and covers them with sweat socks (yes, really).
Come clean. Wash the car at least once a month and wax the exterior four times a year to fight rust and corrosion, says AAA's Nielsen. Vacuum the interior regularly. Marentic recommends getting rubber floor mats or the absorbent pads used for housebreaking puppies to soak up excess water during the wet months.
"People think a soaking rainstorm now and then is a good-enough wash job," says Robert Gal, an accessories development manager for Volkswagen. "They're definitely mistaken."
Still, even the best-maintained car will eventually falter. "When a repair costs more than the value of the car, it's time to move on," says Fix. Edmunds.com or YahooCars can tell you what your wheels would fetch on the open market. Typically, people get rid of vehicles long before the scrap heap beckons, simply because they're tired of them, says Nielsen. Thinking long-term makes much more sense when it comes to cost per mile driven. "Keep a car for just five years and the depreciation kills you," he says. "If you drive it for 10 years, your cost per mile goes down by more than 40 percent. Economically, that's excellent."
Who knows? Maybe my son is destined to madly fall in love—with a jet-black minivan.

7 Hairstyles With Rubber Bands
Sponsored Link:
People are so diverse in 2015, meanings that that there's never simply one hair style pattern that's warm at any kind of provided time. All past is level playing field for re-invention. Genuinely, there's not much that hasn't been done prior to. Yet somehow, each version takes on a fresh spin, and also emerges remarkable.
The current hair style patterns one of them is 7 Hairstyles With Rubber Bands sweep the globe slowly, meanings that that the life cycle is really a few years from the birth of a new trend to the eventual fizzle. Then there are those we cannot ever seem to remove totally (horrible 80's bangs), however that's another article, another time.
Old Hollywood Beauty - The vintage Hollywood glamour look is identified by smooth, voluptuous waves, and deep side parts. The very best techniques to get the look are pin curling and finger swing. Top it off with a lovely vintage accessory on one side or at the back. Look for items with rhinestones or feathers, especially ostrich feathers ... we'll be seeing a lot of those.
80's Inspired - A return to the 80's means an influence from that time ... structure and also motion, shorter layers throughout the top, great deals of waves and also tousled curls. It does not indicate that if you're still sporting a worn out old eighties mullet, you're unexpectedly back en vogue.

This whole NBC vs. Conan O'brien vs. Jay Leno debacle has got me enthralled with network television for the first time in, well, quite a while. I've been watching the late night shows just to listen to the quicks jabs that they've been taking at each other. I admit that I'm a bit sad to see Conan O'brien leave the peacock station. NBC, 7 months really wasn't enough time for him to find his audience. In any case, all of this late night drama has led to an amazing I'm With CoCo campaign. Here are 6 T-Shirts that you can choose from to show your support for the Conan O'brien / Team Coco / I'm With Coco cause.
And here's something extra, someone made a song in support of Team Coco. Check out I'm With Coco by Dustin Krein:
I'm With Coco by Busted Tees, $15.
I'm With CoCo by Mike Mitchell, $18.
No. by ATShirtBlog, $24.99.
CoCo and Leno-Head by TeeFury, $9.
Team Conan by Alex Pardee, $24.

Hans Sachs would be the first to counsel us of the dangers of extolling past achievements at the expense of the present. It is an apt warning in the case of Wagner, for whom great performances, whether recorded or in the theatre, sear themselves with into the memory with perhaps unusual tenacity, acting as Mastersinger-guardians of the imagination. That said, whilst we should all beware the tendency to act as Beckmesser or worse, not every newcomer proves to be a Stolzing. At a time of year when some midsummer warmth, even magic, could hardly be more welcome, glad tidings were, sadly, thin onstage or in the pit.

Eerie quiet in Gaza City on first night of cease-fire
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Not much was moving in Gaza City on Sunday night. There were few cars on the roads and only a handful of people walking the quiet streets, ghostlike figures in the near total darkness.
This was the calm after the storm, and after 22 days of devastating warfare the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas appeared to be holding in its early hours.
On the 40-mile nighttime drive north from the Egyptian border to Gaza City, there were no tanks, no burning buildings, no plumes of acrid smoke. There were only glimpses of the Israeli onslaught: a Dumpster-sized crater in the seaside highway, a mountain of rubble where a building once was, a lone palm tree still standing amid the concrete chunks.
Near Rafah, just over the Egyptian border, taxi drivers eagerly greeted about 20 foreign journalists who'd passed through the Egypt-Gaza crossing, among the first to be allowed into Gaza since Israel and Egypt closed their borders for the duration of the war.
Israeli airstrikes had pounded the area in recent days, targeting tunnels used by Palestinian militants to smuggle weapons in from Egypt. A few streetlamps glowed dimly and stray dogs roamed around trash piles, but otherwise taxis were the only things moving.
Driving north road from Rafah, traffic thinned almost to nothing. In Gaza City, the streets were pitch dark except for a couple of small grocery stores, a mobile phone shop, a used-television dealer. Powered by generators, the shops glowed like hospital operating rooms even though few customers milled about.
Overhead, however, there was an unmistakable reminder of the war: the persistent buzz of Israeli drones, which circled the city for much of the night and broke the eerie quiet.
Hamas agrees to outlines of truce, but disagrees on details
Groups say Israel failed to plan for the safety of Gaza civilians
With nowhere safe, Gazans hunker down inside their homes

This deal will assure two Yokkao events a year in the UK with the next event planned for October at the Reebok Stadium in Bolton.

We will involve our best fighters to raise the level of Muay Thai as no one had ever done before. The passion that binds Brian Calder to the Muay Thai has made possible this wonderful agreement with Yokkao Boxing that will surely discover new fighters. To be honest, we have already some of them under observation .. ."
Brian Calder: "I have worked many years to bring Muay Thai to a higher level in England and I'm pleased to be recognized as the best in the UK by an organization such as Yokkao Boxing.

Solid outing by Burnett, though he did look a bit off in the second inning. Hopefully he is FINALLY becoming the guy that everyone thinks he could be.
Nice to hear that League is showing improvement.
I can't wait 'till Johnson gets back in the lineup. I love the way he plays the game and can definitaly be a spark plug to the jays' offense.
Too bad Lind is disapointing so far…
As for the jays… everybody was bashing them on the G&M blog… while also predicting the demise of the franchise come season end…
My prediction is that by midpoint the jays will be a .500 team… with their ace back… Chacin back (say what you want, but the guy consistantly wins ball games) and the back end of the rotation a little bit more refined… of course johnson and zaun will be back, VW and Thomas will probably settle in at the plate… let's hope glaus keeps healthy!
Is it just me or Does it seem Burnett is more unhittable then the Great Doc himself. Burnett hasn't been near as consistent but when he is on, it's a great pitching performance.
Burnett has absolutely nasty stuff… he is probably less hittable than doc because doc tends to pitch for contact (hence burnett has a no-no in his short career)
Burnett's main problem was mostly injuries… they always slowed him down. He also has the occasional tendency to be inconsistant… and also just plain unlucky (like in his outing against texas where despite of an excellent performance he got the loss)
Regardless of how you compare AJ to Doc, it doesnt really matter. The only thing I care about is if he keeps it up. I would love to see Doc come back and pitch at his level and see AJ doing what hes done the past couple of starts. I also feel that Towers has been cheated this year…he hasnt been too bad, I think he deserves the rotation spot more than Ohka at this point. I say they should give him another shot, I am sure he would do well.
Im with you on Towers give him another shot He is not a good bulpen pitcher He needs to start For the first time AJ has got my vote I was in awe the whole game Doc is always going to be #1 in TO. Marcum was a big suprise a nice one Mabey this is what Dustin needs to see the other young pitchers put up good numbers he may just pull up his socks I hope Litsch can keep it up We have to remember he came up from AA.I hope your back is better Jordan
"Is it just me or Does it seem Burnett is more unhittable then the Great Doc himself. Burnett hasn't been near as consistent but when he is on, it's a great pitching performance."
No, it's definitely true. Burnett still goes for the strikeout approach and Doc for contact, which seems to work for both of them just fine.
Jordan, I'm heading down to Cooperstown for the Hall of Fame Game on Monday. I know there won't be many Orioles starters in the game, but am wondering if you know how many Jays will be playing? In a dream world, Doc would make a rehab start, but it seems a little too soon. Any thoughts? And even if its mostly Chiefs and F-Cats, would the majority of the team still make the trip?
I wonder what is going to happen when all our pitching gets healthy. Personally I would love too see the young guys stay. Since its going to be extremely tough to make the playoffs, why not give some young guys experience for next year. When they signed Zambrano, Thompson and Ohka it was because the club had a win now attitude and wanted some vetern guys. But with the rash of injuries, they should retool their approach for the rest of the year, give their young arms some experience. They couldnt do much worse than Zambrano's 10+ era. I would love too see a rotation comprised of Halladay, Burnett, Chacin, McGowan and Marcum. Litsch being only 22 could probably benifit from finishing the year at AAA. Plus I find it highly unlikly he will have a repeat preformance of his debut. Although it would definatly be a pleasant suprise

For $3,000, get your own Indy 500 tiny home experience
Tiny homes will be available this year at the Indy 500, which are more hotel room than glamping tent, Indianapolis, Monday, Jan. 29, 2018. The lodging, which will be parked waterside on the infield, will be priced at $3,000. Robert Scheer/IndyStar
INDIANAPOLIS — If "glamping" is a little too rough for you, there will be boutique tiny homes available for rent at the 2018 Indianapolis 500.
The four-night, four-person package announced Monday morning includes four general admission tickets to Carb Day, Legends Day, and Indy 500 Race Day. Then there's the tiny house itself, complete with dining table, refrigerator, power, personal shower, flushable toilet and a stove top.
In total, the four-guest, four-night Tiny House Hotel package is $3,000. That breaks down to about $187 per person each night.
"We're always looking to provide unique experiences for our guests," IMS President J. Douglas Boles said in a release. "The Tiny House Hotel is an exciting new offering in May during the Indianapolis 500."
That's twice the price of the "glamping" package that had gained popularity in recent race seasons. For a queen bed package in one of IMS' luxury tents, it's $1,500 for four nights.
