According to a tweet by the man himself Gerald Peter Remy, A.K.A Jerry Remy is now officially cancer free. He went through a scan this Saturday and according to him it went quite successful he added: "cancer free for now and hopefully forever." In his tweet.
Remy is along with being MLB Red Sox T.V Analyst is also a former MLB second baseman. Remy grew up in Somerset, Massachusetts. He was first recruited by the California Angels in 1971. The All-star second baseman later was traded to Boston Red Sox in 1977. Remy was titled the starting second baseman for the Red Sox in 1978 and also got selected for MLB All-Star Game, though could not play in the game. For the time he played with Red Sox he batted .278 with 44 RBIs and 30 stolen bases in 148 games and also two home runs which proved to be the last of his career. He was forced for an early retirement after suffering a series of injuries in 1985.
After that, he took up the career in TV Broadcasting. He joined NESN in 1988 as the official commentator for Boston Red Sox and continued working till his recent leave of absence after his August Diagnosis.
The 66-year-old Remy has fought many a battle against cancer from the time he was first diagnosed with it back in 2008. He has gone in and out many times in the last few seasons. Like in February 2017 he announced that the cancer is back but he was soon back at the NESN booth. But then again in June 2017, the disease caused him severe damage and he had to go through chemotherapy and surgery. This made him miss out most of the second half of the season. Though he returned in September for a few games.
But by the looks of the recent tweet by himself, he might be cured for good this time around.

Ashley says…
The old Silky's? Yep, sure is. But way better. Not that I had ever been to Silky's, but my husband had and he said it wasn't pretty. Silky's was a bar…and that was it. Silky's was sold, and in 2008 it was remodeled and Riverside Café was opened. Radio advertisements and fliers brought us in for the first time about a year ago.
Putnam County still has not adopted the smoking ban, much to my disappointment. So upon entry into Riverside Café, you're immediately hit by cigarette smoke. You walk right into the main bar area. Tables, booths and a stage are in the back of the building, as is the patio. We always walk straight to one of those areas where either we're the only ones there or there are very few other people and if they're smoking we can't smell it. This visit was on a low-humidity Saturday afternoon, so it was the patio for us. We ordered a couple of frosty draughts while passing through the bar to save our server a trip out back.
Riverside Café has a nice patio area with part of it covered. There's even corn hole! It's all surrounded by a high privacy fence, which is a shame because it'd be nice to be able to look out at the river when we're out there. Oh well, we'll live by sacrificing the view to avoid inhaling any secondhand smoke.
The menu contains typical bar food: wings, potato skins (fresh-made), nachos, sandwiches, burgers, salads, pizza (fresh-made crust), etc. We've had the wings on numerous occasions and they are very meaty and are pretty good wings. We always get them with hot sauce, but one time when we called in an order, we were notified they had a new hot hot sauce that was really good. The person on the phone didn't lie. The sauce had good flavor that the heat didn't cover up. Also, on previous visits we've gotten the chef, grilled chicken and taco salads. All three are HUGE. On our first visit, we were greeted by the owner and we had a nice little chat with him. He informed us that the turkey on the chef salad was roasted in-house every couple of days. And we could tell from the huge chunks on the salad. All three salads were very fresh and had ample amounts of meat, cheese and veggies.
This visit, though, was my diet cheat meal of the week. I was craving grease. I ordered the Slim Jim, described on the menu as basically the same as the one at Shoney's with ham, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato and "special sauce", and it came with my choice of chips or fries. I opted for the chips, assuming I'd get some from a bag, but I was pleasantly surprised when they arrived that they were fresh-made chips. They were crispy, but not burnt, and seasoned just right with seasoned salt. My sandwich, however, was NOT a Slim Jim. I think I got just a hot ham and cheese because there was no "special sauce", just mayo. The sandwich had a good amount of ham and cheese, but the sub roll was what made this sandwich. It's not that the bun was so great by itself. It was because both sides of both parts of the bun had been grilled on the flat top. It was warm and chewy and made my Hot Ham Jim pretty darn good.
My husband ordered the Philly cheese steak and fries. It was our first time getting fries here and we were curious as to whether or not they were frozen or fresh made. We still don't know. He received chips with his sandwich. We didn't say anything because we didn't have a lot of time to wait. We were pretty certain they weren't already made since the place wasn't crowded and it was between lunch and dinner time when we were there. The Philly cheese steak came with lots of steak, melted provolone, green peppers, onions, mushrooms and banana peppers on the same grilled sub bun as my Hot Ham Jim. We both ate half of each sandwich and tried to decide which we liked better. My answer was whichever one I'm eating at the time. Our bill ended up being $19 and some change for two $5.99 sandwiches and chips or fries and two large draft beers.
Riverside Café has live music and sometimes karaoke on the weekends as well as several tv's showing sports. We live about a mile from the place and decided one evening after we had dinner to brave the cigarette smoke and stick around a while for a few more adult beverages and some music. The place turns into more of a bar/club the later it gets and they stop serving food at 8:00 pm.
Good wings, good sandwiches, good salads and cold beer make Riverside Café a good place for good bar food. But if you're a non-smoker, sit outside or go between the busiest times of day to avoid the smoke. THREE FORKS.Riverside Café' 3680 Winfield Rd. Winfield, WV 25213 (304) 586-2869

Pewter is a malleable metal alloy, traditionally 85–99% tin, with the remainder consisting of copper and other metals. It has a low melting point and is very easy to cast in molds. It has been used since ancient times for everything from jewelry to table wear and was once called the "poor mans silver". Generally pewter has a grayish/silver semi-dull finish, though this varies depending on the metals combined with the tin and can be colored black or other shades or plated with gold or silver. All our pewter pieces are lead and nickel free. Pewter is generally hypo-allergenic and will not tarnish or react in most conditions. Note it can break or crack if flexed multiple times and rings cannot be re-sized, though interior ring springs or other adjusters might be used.
Care & Other Information
Polishing Your Jewelry
Pewter may dull or even tarnish over time depending on environmental factors and how often it is stored. It can be gently cleaned with a soft cloth or jewelry polishing cloth, but should NOT be cleaned with liquid or abrasive cleaners. Do not put in hot, salty water or dishwasher or submerge any pieces with an antique finish.
All Alchemy Gothic pieces have a lifetime guarantee against defects and faulty workmanship. In the unlikely event that you should have any such problems, please return them to LABEShops for repair or replacement. With normal wear, your piece should last a lifetime, but do not excessively bend or flex pewter as it can break and such breakage is not covered under warranty.

A 17-year-old boy and a 26-year-old woman who met on Facebook accused each other of sexual assault, reportedIndia Today.
The case in Delhi came to light when the juvenile was booked for rape charge and the woman under POCSO Act.
According to reports, they met on Monday and went to a hotel in Vasant Kunj area in Delhi. Later, the woman called the police and accused the boy of raping her.
When the police reached a three-star hotel, the woman and the boy were found locked up in a room.
The woman alleged that the boy took her to the hotel and raped her after offering her a spiked drink. The boy, however, denied the woman's claims.
The boy claimed that the woman had offered him to enter into a physical relationship and he initially spurned the offer. But, she later lured him into it, a senior officer told PTI.
Cross FIRs have been registered under relevant sections of IPC and POCSO Act, he said, adding police suspect it to be a case of "honeytrapping".
No arrests have been made so far.

From "Mother Goose on the Loose"
Start by hitting drum or tambourine and saying:
Rum pum pum, this is my drum. Rum pum pum, this is my drum.
My name is ____________, whats your name?
I'm now going to come around the circle, and I'd like each child to tap out their name on the drum, using syllables. If your child is too young to do it alone take their hand and direct it so they may tap our their own name. This is a great way to introduce phonics!
Walk around circle encouraging children to tap out their name. Repeat each child's name and say good morning.

Discogs Scan is an Android application that allows you to quickly scan the barcodes of all the CDs and records in your collection. It can then upload that collection to your Discogs.com account.
You don't need to enter most of your media manually. Discogs.com has an extensive collection of barcodes.
And if the barcode is missing, you can quickly search for the missing information. No need to enter all data.
When "endless scanning mode" is turned, you can scan about 10 to 15 items per minute. You have to be a great typist to beat that.
Barcodes are much quicker to scan when well lit. So if you're having troubles, go sit by the window or put a desk light above your stack.
For all support requests, please contact me directly. If possible, include the make and model of your Android phone and the steps you took that caused the problem. The more detail the better.

Much to do, as ever. We're starting to ship fruit trees, which reminds me, belated congratulations to R.V.Roger, one of our fruit tree suppliers, who not only won a Gold at Malvern this year but also the coverted President's Trophy at Harrogate. Good job guys – a fiver well spent!
New Products
We're launching a new range of solitary bee and bug boxes. Like other sales through the website we're donating 50% of profits to a charity partner, in this case the invertebrate charity Buglife. We generally stay clear of selling "stuff", as opposed to seeds and plants, but well designed bug boxes do work and engage people's interest. They're attractive too, which is important to us; promoting biodiversity doesn't mean the garden has to look like a biohazard. The boxes come in 4 different sizes, working up to the regal Buggingham Palace, and are priced from £21.50 inc. VAT and P&P. They are individually made in a small workshop in Dorset from locally sourced materials.
We are planning to be at the following shows in 2012 with our spiffy new signage – hope to see you at one of them:
Ecobuild, ExCel Centre, London
20th – 22nd March
Chelsea Flower Show
22nd – 26th May
BBC Gardener's World Live, NEC Birmingham
13th – 17th June
Game Fair, Rutland
20th – 22nd July
(Social) Media
Unlike Tom Archer's footballing pigs we're not a social media sensation, but as I write we're a gnat's breath away from 1,000 mostly sane and mostly interested followers on Twitter. The 1,000th follower of @Habitat_Aid wins a packet of Meadow Anywhere wildflower seeds. I'm also on LinkedIn and failing to understand Facebook properly too, so there are lots of ways of staying in touch with us. Oh, and, of course, the blog toddles on – latest offering is a guide to planting native hedges.

Even the cover of this album, with its stylish close-up of a Mini, evokes the artwork of a retro Blue Note recording. And reassuringly this sense of promise is completely vindicated by the music. Derek Nash, an accomplished and diverse UK artist, is more widely visible to the general public than many, thanks to TV appearances as part of Jools Holland's band. Also notable for his work with Jamie Cullum (on Pointless Nostalgic), he is firmly at the heart of the UK jazz scene. He's joined here by a top-flight band, with several alumni from that early Cullum disc. The opener goes straight in with a Lee Morgan-style groove which launches a balanced mix of straight-ahead standards and penned collaborations with his father, Pat Nash - a former BBC danace orchestra arranger. And with the likes of "Voodoo Rex" adding a tumbling New Orleans party flavour, it's an album that truly lives up to its joyful title.
Review by Neil McKim, BBC Music Magazine - 23rd November 2011

Reading is almost my favourite thing to do with my spare time. It competes with a few other things pleasurable things, but for the most part it is what I'd rather do than anything else. I mean, great literature is all well and good, but who among us wouldn't drop their latest book like a hot potato at the suggestion of an 'early night' from their significant other?
The act of reading also comes with two of the things I hate most in my life: the shame at my inability to finish certain books (either because they are 'difficult' or just plain dull); and the difficulty in remembering exactly what it is that I have read. I can reel off a list of titles in conversation, but when pressed it's often hard to remember details. A piece on this latter bugbear appeared recently in The New Yorker entitled, The Curse of Reading and Forgetting. This both reminded me of my own perceived shortcomings and served in some measure of reassurance that I'm not in fact alone in this malaise and failure of memory.
I've even read books that I have felt in some ways have profoundly affected – if not my life – then definitely my thinking and my world view. But it is only certain passages that have stuck with me when the narrative has disappeared into the mist. Albert Camus' The Stranger is a great example of this. Reading it at a time when I was quite depressed, I remember being inspired by his declaration that: "In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer."
How could fail to be moved by such a life-affirming statement?
The truth is though, that I've forgotten most of what the novel was all about. In my ignorance, I even ended up with two copies of the book after failing to realise that L'Etranger was the original French title for the same book. I picked up a copy after reading the blurb on the back and thinking it sounded interesting. It was only once I got home and started to read that I realised that I had in fact read it before.
As another example, I've also evangelised on the fantasy books of Robin Hobb to many people. I spent a summer in thrall to her Farseer and Liveship Traders trilogies. I remember being almost distraught at coming to the end of them, but now can only remember vague, fleeting flashes of scenes and characters.
Of course there are dozens of other examples.
I reckon that I could hold my own in a discussion on literature with most people, particularly when it comes to themes and tropes, but at plot points or just even plain old-fashioned retelling a story, I'd be hopeless. Is this down to the sheer volume of data going into my head – should I read fewer books in the hope that these will have more of a chance of settling in for the duration – or is this a problem for all readers?

Hi, readers of Stereogum! My name is Tom Breihan, and I'm the older of the two new guys around here. A few internet eons ago, I wrote the Status Ain't Hood blog for the Village Voice. For the past couple of years, I've been a staff writer at Pitchfork. And yes, that means Brandon and I just acted out our own '80s body-switching comedy. He's Judge Reinhold. I'm Fred Savage.
A few things about me: I'm tall enough that complete strangers point and stare. I come from the beautiful town of Baltimore, Maryland; perhaps you've enjoyed our byzantine crime dramas on television. I'm a dad. This past weekend, I moved from Chicago to Virginia, which was not fun. I like dogs and nachos and professional wrestling. I really, really like rap music, so you can expect to see some more of that around here.
For my first post, my new bosses here at Stereogum have graciously allowed me to pick a new song to share. I've chosen one that brings together two things I enjoy: Sleepy-eyed New Orleans stoner-rap and British second-wave ska. Back in the late '90s, Fiend was a raspy-voiced firebreather and one of the most animated figures on Master P's No Limit Records. But more recently, he's linked up with fellow No Limit veteran Curren$y and become a drawling elder-statesman type. On "Ghost Town," he raps over the Specials' spectral ska classic of the same title.
It comes from Cool Is In Session, the new Fiend mixtape and the second excellent tape he's released this year. (See also: Tennis Shoes And Tuxedos.)

When one is under a sick spell, one should stick to simple, short and entertaining stories: when I found myself recently under a heavy bout of tracheitis I turned to Xingu, by E. Wharton to ease my pain. It delivered: a cynical but very, very entertaining little story, perfect for my predicament...
Here I have to admit I was slightly apprehensive: I had started on the wrong foot with Wharton, and I knew this would not be an easy task. I should not have feared: I now know that Wharton is more than one piece of literature.
What is Xingu? well, we get to learn that at the very end of the story and this serves only to highlight the main point: the superficiality of "good society"... Because the story is about a book club, where only the "chosen" ones get to belong to, where only the "wise" get to showcase their books and where those who belong to neither cast get to show their wealth. It rang some bells with me, as I belong to two book clubs - and while there is nothing remotely similar to Xingu, I could recognise some instances I may have encountered myself (I'll leave it to this...)
The ladies of the book club are eagerly waiting the arrival of a famous author, to discuss her latest book. We are given the characteristics (i.e. the vulnerable attributes) of everyone in the group and we get an insight into their habits: we get to know Mrs. Plinth, the distinguished member, in particular. Looking down on everyone, she is the epitome of the "nerd-type" party of a literary group, a person who sees as their ultimate goal to make a name for a well-educated, industrious and valuable member (or a book club or society in general). She declares:
"Amusement is hardly what I look for in my choice of books"
No, of course not. One has to toil, or at least to make others thinks so. Because when in another instance a question is posed, our dear Mrs. Plinth is revealed to utterly dislike
"... being asked her opinion of a book. Books were written to read; if one read them what more could be expected? To be questioned in detail regarding the contents of a volume seemed to her as great an outrage as being searched for smuggled laces at the Custom House"
Now, I have met such people, I have to admit. And I have seen this struggle to pretend to being something more. Something greater. Something higher. And it just won't work. There will always be a black sheep (hello, Mrs. Roby), who will basically form part of this group by accident. But she will never strive to prove her worth against her fellow members. She is content with what she is and does, and will not hesitate to show how well she knows the others by playing a nice little farce. A farce so well executed, she will even fool the distinguished guest. The guest who will recognise Mrs. Roby's genius and will leave the whole group to further engage in a discussion with her. Double the trouble then: the group agree it's time they let Mrs. Roby go. They shan't be made to look like fools by someone who is not deemed suitable to "participate in the mental gymnastics of the club".
And so, order is back: everyone in the group will have their distinct role to play, and there will be no more disruptions by "outsiders". Yes, it's all coming back to me, I knew I recognised this story...

From Blossoms is a project in pursuit of familiarity with the natural world. Our floral design work and flower csa are expressions of admiration for some of nature's most delicate contenders: flowers. We want to make it easier for everyone to experience their beauty and be open to the inspiration that follows. Through this work we hope to pass on seeds of curiosity and appreciation for the earth in all it's tragic and charming complexity.
Our designs are shaped by daily practice with our medium; of placing flowers on every windowsill, counter top and ledge; for sharing, celebrating, and remembering; fresh from the garden, week-old in a vase, and loosely falling apart on the floor. Our work is adaptive and unconfined, embodying the uninhibited nature of process and impermanence. Join us as we share knowledge, honor inspiration and explore beauty.
