Five tips to achieve a perfect beard trim
Men's fashion and styling has picked up in pace with the many changes in technology. As a result, men have learned the art of grooming, which takes more than just a shower and clean clothes. It explains why beards require more tailoring today, with work, events and media influence adding on to the pressure. Fortunate enough, hairclippersclub.com offers excellent solutions to a lot of the grooming problems you might be facing as a man.
Hair grooming is generally an acquired skill, especially for men. If you resolve to trim your beard at home, you must employ a few tricks and hacks to get the perfect look. How then do you achieve an ideal beard trim? Perhaps you are preparing for an event or merely planning for a business trip after the weekend. Consider these five tips as the ultimate guide towards achieving that perfect beard trim:
Determine the face of your shape
You might have underestimated the fantastic work your barber does that you are unaware of your face type. Trimming your beard is not only about getting rid of some of your facial hair, rather, getting the perfect look to complement your face. This initial step is vital because you will have to trim certain sections of your mane differently to emphasize different features, depending on your face shape.
There are different face types, among which are, round, triangle, square, oval and diamond. These face types require a different hair and beard style. If you rightly place your face type, you are less likely to mess up your beard trim.
Use the right tools
Today, it is much easier to spot the best hair tools for your grooming needs. Ensure you have hair clippers, razors, trimmers, scissors, among other essential beard grooming tools.
Use your clippers to trim your … Read More

The Syrian Civil War is a complex situation that's been ongoing for half a decade now. It's also a situation that many Americans are woefully under-informed about. To help mitigate that, Viceland's documentary White Helmets–created in partnership with Samsung, which premiered last Friday on the Samsung VR premium service–offers an immersive look into the non-governmental civil defense organization. The film, shot using Samsung Gear 360 cameras, is part of the Beyond the Frame series that explores not just the situation on the ground, but also how virtual reality can change the way journalism works.
That's something that Viceland's creative director Trent Rohner is interested in looking at. "As virtual reality becomes more prevalent in journalism, we looked into how the technology is changing the way we experience the news," he said in a statement. "What is the new role of the reporter when the viewer can experience the event for themselves? Can journalism be more objective when there is no frame, and they can see everything?"
It's an interesting question to explore at a time when trust in the media is at a record low, and "post-truth" is the order of the day. What a reporter chooses to point the camera at–and what they choose to leave out–is as important a journalistic decision as there is, which makes the series more than just an experiment with fancy new cameras or the fetishization of emerging technology.
The technology already has a role in the sort of work being done in reporting on the situation in Syria, though, which makes this project uniquely situated as a place to explore the issue. "The concept for the series stemmed from the fact that Syrian journalists were already using the Samsung Gear 360 cameras on the ground," a Samsung Electronics America spokesperson told Co.Create, touting the camera's portability and ease of use. "Samsung sees VR as a powerful storytelling tool for documentary filmmakers. It allows them to engage viewers in a unique way while building empathy and deepening the emotional connection."
Viceland isn't the only news organization Samsung works with there, either–they've got a partnership with the New York Times, as well, which is actually the subject of another Viceland doc, Inside the Story. It also premiered last week, and tells the story of how 360 video is changing the way reporters are doing what they do. It makes sense for Samsung to partner with organizations to both tell the story of what this technology can do, and actually create the sort of work that shows it off.
"Samsung's role in this new landscape is to facilitate the acceleration of VR content creation and adoption of the technology," a brand spokesperson told Co.Create. "We work with a community of filmmakers and influencers to help equip them and accelerate the future of storytelling. Through our new partnership with Viceland, we're transforming this new medium to connect with audiences in completely new, emotional, and impactful ways, and our partnership with The Times is the perfect example of the potential of this new medium to change the way stories are told."

May 22–June 19, 2017
From India, Chavi Bansal's early dance training was in Bharatnatyam, Bollywood, Martial Arts and Indian Contemporary dance. She danced with Danceworx, a Bollywood and Indian Contemporary company, from 2003 until 2007. Craving a broader dance vocabulary, Chavi moved to the Netherlands to study at Fontys Hogescholen voor de Kunsten, where she earned her B.A. in Dance with a specialization in Choreography. In 2010, Chavi founded her company, Vimoksha, or "Liberation" in Sanskrit. Using a base of Indian classical movement and western modern technique, Chavi's work is developed largely through improvisation. She worked for the production house Dansateliers in Rotterdam, was a guest choreographer at the University of Stavanger in Norway, and has presented work at festivals throughout the Netherlands, Norway and India. Since moving to Boston in 2015, Vimoksha has founded a company of Boston-based dancers. Chavi's work is supported by the Lab Grant (Boston Foundation), New England Dance Fund (NEFA) and by the Cambridge Arts Council and Somerville Arts Council Grants (Massachusetts Cultural Council).
During their residency, Vimoksha will develop a multimedia piece that explores concepts of everyday rituals and the comfort or restraint they provide. This premiere work will ask: Does ritual provide the confidence to face the unknown? Does repetition form our identity? Is our true identity revealed when breaking the chains of ritual? Audience and performers will be taken on an uncomfortable journey through chaos in order to explore the sense of safety ritual provides.
Ritual in Movement: A Composition and Repertory Class with Vimoksha
Saturday, May 27 | 10 am–12 pm Martin Hall in Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA South End Campus Free Public Program
Discover the role ritual plays and explore the relationship between ritual movement and dance with Resident Choreographer Chavi Bansal and her company Vimoksha. Create movement that incorporates text and gesture and experiment with different spatial structures to change the experience of the phrase in a process that focuses on communicating with an audience by placing readable codes or moments into an abstract work.
Then learn, analyze and dance a short movement phrase from Vimoksha's new work, Rituals, a piece that examines the role of rituals in our lives—why rituals exist and why people are drawn to the safety of rituals.
Movement artists of all levels of experience are welcome. The workshop is open to artists from high school students to practicing professionals.

Does ritual provide the confidence to face the unknown? Does repetition form our identity? Is our true identity revealed when breaking the chains of ritual? Vimoksha's Volatile Structures explores everyday rituals utilizing rhythmic structures from Classical Indian dance and the physically active meditation of Sufi spiritual dance forms. With influences of Bharatnatyam, Bollywood, martial arts and contemporary dance, this premiere work by choreographer Chavi Bansal pilots a journey through chaos in order to investigate rituals and the sense of safety they provide.
The evening will also include a collection of company repertoire focused on human emotions and mind activity, originally created in Netherlands, India and Norway.

Continuum Dance Project is a choreographic laboratory for Boston Arts Academy dance alumni to work collaboratively and explore new choreography in their post secondary or post college dance-making journey. It is a forum for these young artists to develop their own voices. Continuum Dance Project grew out of collaboration between founding artistic dean and dance chair of Boston Arts Academy Fernadina Chan, and dancers Adriane Brayton, Mayra Hernandez, and Mary Ellen Liacos. Since its inception in 2013, Continuum Dance Project has challenged the convention of viewing dance by creating interactive immersive performances.
During their residency, Continuum Dance Project will develop a dance installation in collaboration with visual artist/writer Soyoung L Kim. Through a combination of visual elements, miniature paper-mache bird sculptures, narrative written by Kim, and dance vignettes by Chan and Brayton, audience and performers will be immersed in a lush and active environment.

Zoé Dance nurtures the art of dance, dance theatre and performance through accessible performance venues, educates the public, and creates social awareness through themes explored in repertory. Founded in 2002, Zoé Dance has presented works by Callie Chapman Korn, Ivan Korn, Emily Beattie and Meghan Ballog. Zoé Dance continues to perform in publicly accessible venues to make the art of dance an approachable art form for all, and to heighten the awareness of dance in the Boston area and beyond.
During their residency, Zoé Dance will further develop Becoming Undone. An interdisciplinary, site-specific work that explores the themes of introspection and letting go of the superficial, the complexity of loosening hard-and-fast beliefs, and a general sense of redefining, deepening, and transformation. This concept utilizes dance as a catalyst in conjunction with projection design, visual art installations, and theatrical lighting to support this vision.
Viewers have described Becoming Undone as…"…visually and viscerally breathtaking, edgy yet hospitable, music we wish we owned, unpredictable and unexpected, whimsy, humor, contemplative, emotionally disturbing and thought provoking. Beautiful dancing and emotional narrative left us with much to talk about on the ride home. We were both moved, delighted and impressed by the work." –Joanie Block, Audience Member
"A great evening—Full of things to watch (and do), often fun, wonderful dancing, technology as smooth as could be (not to mention imaginative and fascinating), moving—and on and on. Thank you so much for it."–Eleanor Duckworth, Audience Member

Kat Nasti Dance is an ensemble of artists currently based in the Boston metropolitan area. The group is a pick-up organization, utilizing the constantly changing and diverse artistic pool available in Boston.
During her residency, choreographer Kat Nasti will develop her new work, The Glorious Mediocre which reflects on the arc of life and just how much it takes to meet the level of mediocrity in today's society. Through a mash-up of Broadway and Modern dance, The Glorious Mediocre! serves as a memoir of the mundane. Reflecting on her own life as the eighth of ten kids growing up in a relatively unspectacular town, Kat, explores the fruitless pursuits of mortals, with song, dance and a healthy serving of sarcasm.
Kat will also host The Missing Rung: Conversations of the Aging Artist, an artist talk that will touch upon topics such as loss of mobility as a dancer, artistic parenthood, the artist's career ladder and moving through life transitions.

Creative Clasps(HKTDC Fashion - Fabrics & Accessories, Vol 01,2009)
Providing tremendous creative opportunities in a limited space, buttons are truly essential accessories
No longer simple closures, buttons have become a vehicle for creative expression in their own right and firm favourites with designers and consumers alike.
Asia's fashion powerhouse, Hong Kong, is particularly well placed to meet the needs of the fussiest buyer, with an enormous selection of buttons of all shapes and sizes.
Hong Kong button manufacturers such as Brilliant Metal Button Fty & Co Ltd pride themselves on their endless efforts to bring new and appealing ideas to buyers.
According to Brilliant Metal Merchandiser Carmen Chan, the 18-year-old manufacturer relies on a group of experienced senior designers to create the skilful craftwork synonymous with the firm's products.
"At first we concentrated on OEM business and customer logos," Ms Chan recalls. "However, as the company grew bigger we expanded into ODM."
She says Brilliant Metal wants its button products to provide buyers and consumers with fresh looks, such as new combinations of materials or a stylish appearance.
"Our R&D department includes a team of senior technicians who can craft tiny design elements such as mini dolls or rolling beads inside a button," she enthuses.
Their skills are augmented by an R&D department and a factory that features the latest mould and tooling instruments, together with advanced equipment such as laser-marking, CNC and wire-cut machines.
This combination of man and machine produces all kinds of garment accessories, including the jeans buttons that account for 70% of production volume, as well as snap buttons, eyelets and fasteners.
Ms Chan says buyers from markets as diverse as the US, Europe, Pakistan and Mexico always find the exhaustive panorama of sample buttons in the display room fascinating and appealing. "Custom orders are welcome," she adds.
Close collaboration
D & G Industrial Co Ltd is another Hong Kong company that meets the ongoing challenge of design creativity through a collaboration of local marketing staff and experienced technicians.
According to Assistant Sales and Marketing Director Connie Chen, a "brainstorm between Hong Kong market researchers and the mainland production team" is the key to non-stop innovative thinking.
"Two years ago, local marketing and mainland production staff joined together to form a powerful design force that has now become the pillar of the company's development," Ms Chen explains.
Market researchers collect and analyse sales information that inspires mainland technicians to create new products. "The team acts as a guide, leading buyers to the most up-to-date market trends and tastes," she claims.
Ms Chen predicts elegant and feminine designs will continue to dominate women's button fashions while men will embrace a slightly more fashionable style. "Gold, silver and shiny materials are all big hits."
D & G offers a wide range of garment accessories products, including jeans buttons, snap buttons, die-cast buttons, fashion buttons, jeans rivets, eyelets, metal plates, handbag suspender clips, dress hooks, metal buckles and fasteners.
Metal items such as jeans buttons, rivets, snap fasteners and pronged snap fasteners receive a particularly good response, especially from overseas buyers who are willing to try innovative material combinations. "Epoxy and laser processing are also popular," Ms Chen adds.
Popular items such as the 22mm alloy dome jeans buttons, 20mm irregular jeans buttons and 20mm alloy four-hole sewing buttons testify to the company's technical expertise.
The company's R&D centre specialises in improving existing products, developing new items and enhancing product quality while lowering production costs to give D & G a competitive advantage.
"Our established brand name, strong R&D capability, extensive sales network and all-inclusive after-sales services spanning a total of 50 countries, make D & G a leading garment accessories solutions provider," Ms Chen believes.
D & G regards itself as a solutions provider, Ms Chen claims. "Before an order is made, our independent testing centre can provide a testing service to ensure that fabric and products match perfectly."
Another D & G cornerstone is after-sales services. "Technical units can be sent to factories to adjust machines in response to any report of fabric damage or other mismatch problems," Ms Chen reveals, adding, "of course it's only for big orders."
Free service
CYT Industrial Co also welcomes potential buyers, offering a free service that lets them bring their own fabric for testing to ensure peace of mind.
Manager Cynthia Cheung says handmade buttons ensure CYT stands out from its competitors, adding that the company's technicians specialise in product sample presentation. "Handmade samples require more time and money," she admits. "However, it is our service promise that the customer always comes first."
Producing exclusively for overseas markets, CYT encourages the mixing and matching of new materials. "We see this approach as the first step in the development of innovative and successful products," Ms Cheung adds.
CYT has more than 10 years' experience in the garments accessories field. "We mainly produce handmade and passimentry buttons, bead trimming items, tassels and other kind of fashion accessories," Ms Cheung explains. "Customers' designs and enquiries are welcome."
Hong Kong's creative button manufacturers' commitment to innovation and quality will abviously ensure that much more attention is paid to the small buttons that are sometimes overlooked in the big fashion world.

Madly in Love Monday
Last year, we were both asked to speak at a financial forum. Speaking together was reminiscent of college.
Before, I have mentioned that Engineer is very good at getting right to the point. He was talking about the sense of entitlement that people have which hinders their ability to achieve financial success. His point was that everyone feels like they "deserve" to do or have something or another.
Engineer boiled it down to this, "You don't deserve God's grace and you don't deserve to go out to eat."
I am madly in love this Monday because my Engineer is wise.
This is part of Heavenly Homemakers GratiTuesday.

More people should plainly speak the truth like your husband. I'm really trying to drive this point home with my children to spare them the grief that comes with greed and a sense of entitlement.ReplyDelete
Well Ms. Kristin, that point is hard to make especially as a parent. Every time I turn around commercials say "you deserve this" and reality shows have their skewed since of fairness where they think they deserve some special treatment. Kiddos are bombarded with that notion. It's our job as parents though to teach them humility and hard work.ReplyDelete

Knee Pain Treatment
We all take our knees for granted when they are functioning well. From walking to running to picking things up from the ground, our knees assist us many of our daily activities. When there is an injury or tracking issue with the knee, our whole life can be thrown off balance.
There are a number of factors and activities that can cause a knee injury and resultant knee pain. Your chiropractor in Boca Raton FL has seen numerous variations. Some of the most common include:
In some cases, knee injury and knee pain can be treated and managed at home. Applying ice or cold compresses can assist with reducing inflammation. Rest and limited walking can allow the knee to heal on its own.
However, in some cases, knee pain and discomfort can be chronic. One of the most common reasons for this is that the knee is not tracking properly due to coming out of alignment.
In cases like this, chiropractic care from your chiropractor in Boca Raton FL can make all the difference. Chiropractic manipulation of the knee can help to restore proper tracking and functioning. Elements of the knee including the bones, muscles, ligaments and other tissues can be realigned to their proper place so that the knee can move and track optimally.
Once balance has been restored, any injury or breach can heal naturally. Knee pain will naturally subside and the knee will become stronger and more functional.
With chiropractic care, the knee is seen holistically as a component of a larger structure. It interacts with the leg above and below it, but it is also connected with the functioning of the hips, back and even the swing of the arms as you walk.
Your chiropractor in Boca Raton will assess your knee injury from a holistic perspective. The goal is whole-body healing, and in some cases, your knee issue will be related to a misalignment of the hips or some other area of the body.
Your chiropractic clinic in Boca Raton FL Boca Raton Wellness Center is your source for safe, non-invasive interventions to bring healing and lasting pain relief. Boca Raton chiropractor Dr. Ernest Caruso uses a comprehensive treatment approach that has served clients well for nearly two decades.

Red Hat road map leads to SE Linux
Red Hat Inc.'s inclusion of Security-Enhanced Linux is expected to open new doors for Linux and the distributor.
Multitudes of bug fixes and feedback on Red Hat Inc.'s inclusion of Security-Enhanced (SE) Linux in the Fedora Project have been submitted from the Linux community since the test2 beta was released in late March. Suffice it to say that the returns have been far more beneficial to Red Hat than any controlled beta release could hope for.
Red Hat put SE Linux in Fedora, its openly developed and constantly changing version of Linux, in preparation for inclusion in the distributor's flagship server OS Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 due in early 2005. SE Linux, developed by the National Security Agency, is an implementation of mandatory access control (MAC) in the Linux kernel that splits root functionality into roles.
Red Hat said Friday it would incorporate the bug fixes and feedback into RHEL in order to correctly configure its policies.
RHEL 4.0 will be the first Linux distribution to include SE Linux, and that along with several impending Common Criteria certifications should open many doors in the enterprise and government for Red Hat.
"Achieving certification is important because it now enables Linux to penetrate markets where it was not able to penetrate before," said Paul Cormier, Red Hat executive vice president of engineering. "Linux has been used in the government for some time, but it can't get official contracts because it's not certified [Common Criteria]."
Red Hat's inclusion of SE Linux as part and parcel of the operating system and not as an added feature is just part of the Raleigh, N.C., company's security road map for 2004. RHEL 3.0 is currently Common Criteria EAL 2 certified. It is currently working on EAL 3 and expects EAL 4 by the time RHEL 4.0 is released next year.
Common Criteria is a set of criteria by which the security of a mission-critical software product is evaluated. Certification is a seal of approval that is recognized by government agencies and enterprise IT professionals. Countries that recognize the Common Criteria include the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France and Japan. SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 became the first enterprise Linux to reach EAL3 in January.
Cormier said enterprises are likely to look for EAL3 certification, while governments are more likely to look for EAL4. EAL2 evaluates security engineering testing processes. EAL3 evaluates a combination of processes and technology with a heavy focus on auditing capabilities. EAL4 delves deeper into security technology, like for example, evaluating the ability to partition one user from another and strict policy enforcement.
Fedora, meanwhile, has served as a staging area for SE Linux for the last two months. Right now its engineers are tuning SE Linux to make it amenable to users.
"Had it not been for Fedora, we probably would be a lot further back with SE Linux than we are now," Cormier said.
Cormier said Red Hat will likely ship RHEL 4.0 with SE Linux turned off.
"The approach security people take is shut everything off and turn things on as you need them," Cormier said. "The default should be high security, but what that means is a lot of applications will break and you will have people shouting for us to turn this off."
Instead, Cormier said Red Hat is likely to tailor SE Linux based on the majority of feedback it gets from users.
"You can get it super secure, or secure just one daemon like HTTP or Sendmail," Cormier said. "You're going to be able to turn on various policies for different pieces of the OS."
FEEDBACK: How important is the inclusion of Security-Enhanced Linux to Red Hat Enterprise Linux to your company?

Check out the Enjoy Life Foods allergy friendly snack bars, and enter to win Enjoy Life Foods Chewy Bars to try them yourself!
It's time for another allergy-friendly snack giveaway!! Woohoo! 😉
I don't know about you, but I love giveaways, especially when it involves healthy and allergy-friendly food! Because, well, I LOVE food, haha! I am a big fan of Enjoy Life Foods, one of the few completely allergy-friendly companies out there.
They are committed to producing yummy and healthy food that is free of the top 8 allergens (and then some) and are non-GMO. We can let our kids enjoy these goodies without worrying about allergens and cross-contamination in the facilities where the bars have been made and packaged.
Enjoy Life Foods products are always:
- Certified Gluten Free
- Free of the top 8 allergens (wheat, dairy, soy, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, fish, and shellfish)
- Made in a dedicated facility
- All-natural, nothing artificial
- Also made without sesame, casein, and sulfites
- Non-GMO Project Verified
Always looking for ways to better their products, Enjoy Life Foods has been working on changing the recipes for several of their products, including their 4 flavors of Chewy Bars.
The new recipes promise improved taste and texture, and their improved Chewy Bars now include the ancient grains quinoa and amaranth (which are actually psuedograins).
The new bars are a bit small, which is great if you are watching your portions and calories. I can't remember the size of the old ones so I am not sure if they have always been this size. But, each bar (in any flavor) has between 110 and 120 calories so you can pair it with some protein and produce for the perfect snack.
Every flavor of the Chewy Bars were a big hit in our house! I have had the Chewy Bars in the past, but the new recipes taste better and have a better texture than the older ones.
My favorite flavors were the the Caramel Apple and Coco Loco, and my kids loved the SunButter Crunch and Coco Loco bars. I have to watch how many bars I eat since I have developed an intolerance to grains this Spring (boo…), but these made perfect snacks for Gabe and Nyah's lunch boxes for school.
Want to try Chewy Bars for Yourself?

This is Gym Week, like, negative 48. Because I ain't been to the fucking gym since before last Christmas.
And I've gained some absurd amount of weight like 50 pounds since then.
And, no, there's been no pregnancy involved, although my gut gets a lot of suspicious glances on account of the junk food baby gestating in there.
So what happened? I quit going to the fucking gym, that's what fucking happened. I can tell you all the events that led to my gym cessation and persistence in gym truancy, like how my gym closed, and the place that bought everyone's membership was inconveniently located and didn't have the classes I wanted at times I could go. I can tell you how that second place then charged me and wouldn't refund my money like the crooks gym bosses are known to be, even though I followed the instructions for quitting the gym, and this made me too poor to join another gym that month and also too pissed to go to the new gym that had my money but not my required amenities. I can tell you how I was busy around the holidays, how my long-distance relationship had me going out of town or having company every weekend, and how every time I told myself tomorrow was the day I'd go join the Y or something, I inevitably balked at the cold or my fatigue or some other excuse and never did it.
I could tell you all of that. But that's all bullshit. I quit going to the gym, because I fucking quit going to the gym. I quit running, too. That's what happened.
Do I regret it? Sort of.
I mean, I had a good thing going there for a while. I'd gotten past the agony of starting at the gym. I was seeing results. I was feeling good about my body–not only my appearance, but my ability to do shit with my body I'd never thought I'd be able to do. I'd run some 5k races–and I still have the bibs pinned to my wall to prove it. The fact that the race T-shirts don't fit me anymore tells another story.
When I started this blog last year, I didn't hide how much I hated working out. I also worked in an escape clause by saying over and over, "I might get sick of this shit soon!" and "I haven't quit–yet." That way I could always say I never fully expected I'd stick with it, so it should come as no surprise if I dropped out.
I wasn't wrong. I did get sick of it. I quit. Like I knew I would.
The intervening months have brought about a different kind of introspection: on body image and self acceptance. Those are confusing to me. When I was younger, the biggest hurdle between me and accepting my body was the chest region. And when I say "biggest hurdle," that's actually the opposite of what it was: these tits were tiny, and that's the one thing I would have changed about my body. The rest of me was skinny, and I never worried for a second about things like how much I weighed or what size I wore. The first time I noticed my clothes starting to get snug, when I was in my early 20s, I stepped on the scale and didn't really know what to think of the number I saw. I had no idea what I had weighed before and so had no idea if I'd gained any weight.
Now, I'm all too aware of how much I weigh, and of how much I've weighed at times since those first inklings it might be more than it should be. Right now, I weigh more than I ever have, even fully pregnant, and I feel baffled to think I might have been disappointed at my weight 20, 30, or 40+ pounds ago.
My boobs are bigger now, so there's that. It's only fair. It's the least nature can do if I'm going to have a belly, right?
Even so, I'm not what I would call "happy" with my body. I'm often conscious of how much more of it there is now, how ill-fitting my clothes are because I've outgrown a lot of shit and don't really know how to dress my current shape in a way that flatters. I don't even know what to think about the word "flatting," like what it means in practice, and how much I should care about it.
I did the Mud Run again this year, and it was much, much harder than last year. By the end, I was running as fast as I could, and I was barely keeping up with my friend next to me who was walking. I attempted all the obstacles but was literally unable to finish some of them. I actually had a difficult time mustering the strength to lift my legs at the end of the thing, by which time I had a real appreciation of what good shape I must have been in last year.
Today is the one year anniversary of my quit-smoking date, and in spite of varying degrees of temptation over the last twelve months, I've never lit up. That can be a contributing factor in weight gain, they say.
There are three goals I had for myself around the time I started going to the gym: first, start going to the gym. Second, start eating better. Third, quit smoking. It seems like I can't ever do more than one of those things at once.
At any rate, while I may not be "happy" with my body, I'm not consumed by self-hatred. Sometimes I even like how I look. There's a certain womanliness I like sometimes.
And truth be told, my dude likes my bod the way it is. I certainly appreciate that, though I also question how much or in what way I should appreciate it. I want to feel the way I feel about my body because it's the way I feel about my body. I don't want to hate my body because it's not as skinny as some man thinks it should be, but I also don't want to resist making changes I want to make because a man likes how I look now.
Lemme tell you, it's hard to know, as a woman, exactly what your own thoughts are about your body. Sometimes what makes me feel bad about myself is seeing images of other people and comparing myself to them. Is that a good reason to want to make a change? That doesn't sound sustainable. There will always be some part of some person's body that I'll think is better than the same part of mine.
Sometimes I think about my age and being a mom and having a mom's body, and I feel like I should just accept that's where I am. Is that a good reason to find acceptance? That seems like giving up. But giving up what? Would that be giving up something I want for myself or something I think I'm supposed to want for myself?
Sometimes I see cellulite on my thighs or observe my belly, and I'm not sure what I think about those things. Do I hate them? Do I feel neutral? Am I just casually observing? Is noticing body fat the same thing as feeling ashamed of body fat?
I will say this: I felt accomplished when I could observe my body getting stronger, when I noted I could do things I'd never done before or thought I could do before. When I could lift more weight in Body Pump. When I could last through a hard track in RIPPED. When I finished my first 5k and ran the whole thing without stopping to walk.
But it's very daunting to think about starting it all up again. Those six a.m. classes? Those evenings at the gym when my couch is calling to me? Those aching muscles, those gym showers? I already can't get all my shit done that I feel like I need to do, like make sure I take the laundry out of the washing machine before it goes sour, or pick up my kids in time to get in piano practice and reading and baths and a nutritious dinner and a little recreation time. Imagining throwing in another element that I don't really even want to begin with, to the end of achieving goals that I know would make me feel good but are not necessarily a part of my personal values–impossible.
Which is why I never joined a gym before last year.
What to do next? I don't know. Like with the whole thing last year, this is open ended. Maybe tomorrow I'll get motivated to start training for an Iron Man or some shit, and this time next year I'll be winning body building competitions. Or maybe tomorrow I'll watch TV and take my kids grocery shopping and not smoke any cigarettes and eat some carbs and fat, and this time next year I'll be no closer to making any changes than I am today.
Until next time.

Gerard Kennedy Finished in Sixth Place in Quebec
In Quebec, Gerard Kennedy didn't get fifth place with 1.7%, he got sixth place with 1.1%. That's all 11 delegates will get you. By comparison, Dion got 151 delegates in Ontario (10.1%, 4th place).
Worse, on a riding basis, Gerard Kennedy got 8 delegates in Quebec, that is still good enough for sixth place but is only 0.9% of the elected delegates on a riding basis. Less than one percent!
Gerard Kennedy managed to get three delegates at the Université du Quebec à Chicoutimi. I'm shocked there are three Liberals at the UQAC. So good for Gerard for getting all three delegates.
The candidates who did worse in Quebec were Dryden with 0.4% and Hall Findlay who got zero (ouch).
On a riding basis, Brison has 63% more Quebec delegates than Kennedy!
Of the top four nationally (Ignatieff, Rae, Kennedy and Dion), the only other candidates to finish in sixth place in a province were Rae in Nova Scotia with 3 delegates (1.8%) and Dion in Manitoba with 10 (4.2%). From memory, I don't think Ignatieff did to good in BC, but the results have been removed while the Rae delegate appeal is settled.
By the way, how did Kennedy manage to finish in third place in his home province of Manitoba with only 33 delegates (13.9%)? Although in his defence, he did manage to get 50% of University of Alberta's 4 delegates. So I guess even though he flunked out, he left a positive impression (yes, I realise the students vote, not the faculty, but I assume they were influenced by Kennedy's reputation). Alberta is also the only province Kennedy won at the riding level, with 97 delegates ( 28.7%).
The Volpe campaign was clearly concerned with money. In addition to getting children and dead people to contribute, they managed to get 82% of the delegates in Fort McMurray-Athabasca, probably the richest riding (in average income) in the country. 82% is by far the best result of any candidate in that province. It is also on of the best in the country. Critisise the Volpe campagn's financing shenanigans all you want, but since he didn't borrow a penny, he will probably be the only leadership candidate who doesn't have to fund raise well into the new year. Volpe got three times more delegates in Quebec than Kennedy did.
Acadians do not Want Gerard Kennedy

Yes, the eleven people that turned out in Quebec is a representative sample of how Kennedy would fare in the province. You make a powerful point. Ignatieff has the support of hundred of old tired Liberal loyalists, clearly a good gauge for a general. LOL.

Some people will stand on their heads to turn statistics around.
Here's a convincing argument in the other direction:

Steve, do you know how many people turned out to vote in Quebec? No, neither do I as the voting numbers are being kept top secret.
I can't imagine that many people turned up in Alberta, the only province Kennedy didn't loose (first place with Iggy).
Thanks for the link RMS. Good to point out that Kennedy did not de well in any of the "winnable ridings" in Quebec.

More I read this blog, the more I realize that Quebec just doesn't matter as much any more. It has come time for the LPC to move beyond Quebec.

You might want to wait for Quebec to leave the country befor ignoring Quebec. In a democracy, it is never a good idea to write off 25% of the population.

Around 3300 people voted in Alberta, with around 3700 voting in Quebec. Alberta had close to a 33% turnout where Quebec was closer to just shy of ten percent.

- Steve V said...
I know that more people voted in PEI than Quebec, draw your own conclusions dimwit.
- 30 October 2006 at 21:44:00 GMT-4
The LPC can't win most of Quebec. In some places they are the default choice. What is left is not worth fighting over, and frankly isn't that important.
I know that is difficult to hear.
Liberals should concentrate on Ontario, the Atlantic provinces and Urban centers it will be enough to defeat the CPC.
This obsession with Quebec will end.

Most lasers have operated along similar physical principles: a small, precisely dimensioned, closed cavity containing specific materials that will get incoming photons excited enough to band together and form a coherent laser beam. However, this isn't the only way to get a material to lase, as it's possible to get the same effect by taking advantage of the scattering of light. Researchers have now demonstrated a scattering-based laser that relies on light pumped into a 50 mile long fiber optic cable.
A laser needs two things to work: a cavity that traps the light, usually created by two mirrors, and a material that is able to amplify the radiation while it's trapped. This amplification is usually caused by gas particles that are excited by an electric current running through the cavity. The excited particles will catch the photons, become even more excited, and emit additional photons of the same wavelength. This process can take place over and over until there are enough photons to populate a laser beam.
The new work involved making a laser that used fiber as a guide for scattered photons. The long, straight fibers help direct the photons, generally keeping them on a straight course. Light traveling through the fiber can accumulate a certain amount of disorder because of small imperfections in the medium. That disorder turns out to be critical to the operation of the laser.
The fiber laser depends on two photon scattering properties. One is Rayleigh scattering, which occurs when light hits fetures that are smaller than the wavelength of the light itself, usually individual molecules or atoms. In this case, the photon bounces away, leaving with the same amount of energy it came with.
The second is Raman scattering, where particles bounce off a feature and leave with a different amount of energy than they had prior to the collision. Raman scattering happens significantly less often than Rayleigh but, given enough space and time, Raman effects can accumulate.
In the new laser, two pumps direct photons into the open cavity formed by a fiber. As photons travel along the length of the fibers, they hit imperfections that cause them to scatter. Some of the Rayleigh-scattered photons will scatter backwards, much like the photons that strike a mirror in a closed cavity laser. Others will be Raman scattered, which not only causes them to reverse directions, but also ramps up their energy—this is the equivalent of the excited atoms in a closed cavity laser.
While, individually, these effects are weak at best, the researchers found that, if enough photons are given enough space for these scattering events to happen many times, there are eventually enough excited photons to create a laser beam.
The scattering has to be allowed to happen over a significant distance—the fiber laser tested was over 51 miles long, and scientists estimate that the fiber tunnel needs to be at least 43 miles in order for lasing to happen at all. In some ways, the fiber lasers are cheaper, as they require no mirrors or glass, and use easily acquired materials that need less calibration. Of course, they aren't about to replace the pocket-sized one you use to play with your cat.
Still, it might be possible to find a use for lasers of this sort, given the huge lengths of fiber optic cable that are already out there. The authors also suggest that it could be immensely useful for scientists to take a second look at other already well-known physical anomalies—their new applications could be only 43 miles away.

Pipi's Pasture: It's calving season when…
According to the calendar, it's spring. Spring in Moffat County means that there likely will be wind, rain, hail, snow and sunshine all in one day, just like it has been today at Pipi's Pasture. It also means that for most ranchers, calving season is underway. That's what most ranchers are talking about, anyway.
You know it's calving season when…
■ You meet up with neighbors and calving is the main topic of conversation.
■ You walk to the corral a minimum of six times per day.
■ After days of sunny weather, a cow starts to calve during a blizzard.
■ The flashlight battery gives out on the way back from a nightly cow-check at the corral, and you have to walk over last year's garden stubble.
■ You don't go to the corral without a bottle of milk replacer or colostrum — even if you're not sure you're going to need it; that way you don't have to walk back to the house.
■ The shop refrigerator is stocked with a variety of vaccines, and the tagging gun, tags, and syringes are on a nearby shelf.
■ You forget to mark down some calves in your calf book and have to think way back to a week ago as to the dates of birth and other information.
■ You sort off the cows that should calve first and put them in the corral; the cows on the feedlot calve first.
■ For the first time ever, the cows surprise you with three sets of twins.
■ The cows eye the barn cats suspiciously.
■ A cow pacing but staying off to herself means business.
■ You spend a lot of time trying to decide if a newborn calf has nursed, and neither the cow nor calf will tell.
■ Your chore coat smells like milk replacer, and your shoes smell a whole lot worse.
■ You have a nightmare: a first-calf heifer is having problems calving, and she's out in the pasture, scared to death, and you have to chase her into the corral.
■ Supper is in the crock pot.
■ You pray the calf lying flat out on the ground is just asleep.
■ There are some suspicious spots on the ground, and you wonder which calf has scours.
■ A calf has crawled under a piece of machinery and now can't figure out how to get back out.
■ After you start down the hill on the last half-mile home, you cross your fingers, hoping you won't find anything out-of-the-ordinary in the cow pasture.
■ The cows have become unusually private; they position their bodies so you can see their heads only.
■ You're so tired that you fall asleep while watching your favorite television show.
■ You're so tired when checking cows at night that you don't remember whether you're getting up or going back to bed.
■ You're so tired that you forget to turn in a column for the newspaper because you thought it was Monday instead of Tuesday.
■ You realize that there's only about a month left to go of calving season.

Today, the 27th of March 2013, we celebrate Document Freedom Day (DFD).
Why? Because we need to improve the interoperability between software in order to communicate better and give everyone the opportunity to use the software they want to use to produce documents.
In my own experience, I often felt guilty because of incompatibility problems when I was editing a .doc text document coming from someone who would use Microsoft Office. We open-source advocates often hear that we are annoying because we can't – or won't – use the bloody basic .doc or .docx formats, which results in jumbled documents.
Well, there is absolutely no reason we should be seen as the problem. On the contrary, our choice is more of a solution.
We need to say it, and explain it, over and over until this is understood by everyone: the problem is not us. The problem is the monopoly of the Microsoft closed formats worldwide. It is not LibreOffice or OpenOffice's fault that your document is all messed up after going back and forth between a Microsoft Office user and a Linux aficionado – it is Microsoft's fault for making their formats so cryptic no other software can handle them without any trouble.
Using Open Document Formats (ODF) in the first place would have solved the problem – yes, Microsoft Office can read ODF too.
Another very valid reason to use open document formats is that your files' lifespan does not depend on the software you used to create them.
It is about time the default formats are open formats that any software can understand. Even though at the moment, .doc and .xls formats are the most widely used ones for text documents and spreadsheets, it does not mean they are the best choice! This should be everyone's decision to do the move in a concerted and informed effort, but the governments and institutions should definitely do their part in initiating a wider change.
Today is not just the day of open document formats, it also is the day of all open standards and formats.
So if you want to do your bit, talk about this, promote the use of open standard and formats, and avoid any closed ones. Here is a short list to have an idea of which formats should be promoted:
- In your office suite, prefer formats like .odt, .ods or .odp to .doc and .docx, .xls and .xlsx, or .ppt and .pptx;
- Use PDF documents as much as you want;
- For your music and other sounds, prefer .ogg to .mp3, .wma or .aac, and .flac to .wav;
- When it comes to graphics and pictures, choose .jpg, .png, .gif and .svg instead of .psd and .bmp;
- If you want to compress or archive bulky files, choose .7z, .tar and .gzip instead of .zip;
- For videos, .ogv and .mkv are preferred to .wmv and .mov;
- And for your ebooks, definitely go with the .epub format instead of promoting the myriad of proprietary formats that each brand creates to lock you in!
These are just a few examples. Have a look at this Wikipedia article to learn about the safer format choices.

'Jon Movie Man' was on-set of the sci-fi sequel and has this report with all sorts of plot spoilers:
'It takes place 5 years after the first movie, the opening scenes are of the propaganda commercial stating why you should join the Federation Troopers, lots of scenes of Troopers running and then a scene that is a copy of the Iowa Shima Flag Lifting. Immediately cuts to planet Zulu where the troopers are surrounded on a cliff by bugs and they are blasting away and are told to retreat. Nearly ? of the troopers are killed as they retreat towards an abandoned military base.'
'They arrive at the base and get no response from the Federation when they ask for evacuation and pick up, meaning they are stranded there. There is also a subplot that the bugs have engendered a virus that infects some of the troopers and the bugs are trying to get the infection to go all the way up to the heads of the Federation. This virus turns it?s victims into Zombies of sorts'

Who doesn't want to be unstoppable?
Think back over the last week: was there a day where nothing went wrong? A day where nothing seemed to bother you? A day where getting either "good" or "bad" news didn't seem to slow you down or change your mood? Where you felt super-energized and alert, as well confident and calm? A day where you felt like you were in the flow and completely unstoppable?
Do you want to have more days like that day? I know I do. So how can we find this kind of energy and consistency? More importantly, what gets in our way? A great answer can be found in one of my favorite quotes of all time:
"Food is the most widely abused anti-anxiety drug in America, and exercise is the most potent and underutilized antidepressant." ~ Bill Phillips
Most of us head to the gym or go on a diet because we want to get into shape. We want to look better. But have you ever thought about exercise (also known as moving), eating clean (also known as proper nutrition) and sleep (also known as rest) as a way to reset and revamp your mind, body and emotions on a more permanent basis?
What a cool way to think about getting healthy: it's not just about burning calories, but burning up the negative thoughts; it's not about pumping up the muscles, but pumping blood to your brain; not just about eating less food, but eating foods that energize…
For the next 4 weeks, I'll be sending out simple, applicable ideas for how to boost and keep your energy at its highest level. Let's start this week some recharging:
Think about the Tesla for a minute: it's a high-powered electric car. It can go from 0-60 in 3.4 seconds and travel up to 350 miles between charges. But what do you need to do before that car can do all that amazing stuff?
First you have to charge it.
We often think of the weekend as the END of our week. A way to recover and rest after a long week. But let's flip that script and treated the weekend as the beginning of our week – the time we need to charge our batteries and refuel our minds.
Here are a few ways to re-charge:
- Sleep – Another favorite quote of mine? "Sleep is a weapon." (Robert Ludlum). Getting shuteye is an often-overlooked power source. But in my experience, sleep truly is a weapon – the foundation of our physical and emotional states. If you're struggling to get goof rest, try creating a bedtime routine and focus on quality even more than quantity. I have written several blogs on sleep – you can check them out here: Sleep is a Weapon, 5 Simple Ways to Reset your Body, Hack Yourself P3
- Mind "Stretching" (Breaks) –Just taking a moment to stop, stand up, walk outside… get some fresh air and fresh ideas.
- Power Napping –15-20 minutes (but ideally, no longer) of sleep during the middle of the day can revamp and recharge you for those long and drowsy afternoon hours. And a nap is much kinder to your waist line than your favorite mega-caffeinated drink!
- Free Days – try scheduling a consistent time in your week free from work and stress. Learn to shift your mindset in these moments – an easy way to do this is a quick meditation: take 10 minutes to sit still and breathe deeply. Another great way to de-stress fast is by talking to your best friend or a family member. A good laugh will go miles further than TV and a glass of wine.

The Faculty of Science Centennial Centre for Interdisciplinary Science (CCIS)—a vibrant environment for learning and discovery.
Undergraduate and graduate programs, degrees, and admission information.
In 2003, Alberta instituted a Graduated Driver Licence (GDL) system that applies to all persons who are new to driving irrespective of age. The purpose of this system is to ensure that people have the time to develop the skills needed to drive safely before they are given a full, non-probationary, Class 5 licence without restrictions.
There are two stages in the GDL system: a learners stage and a Probationary stage that you must pass through before you can take the advanced driving road test to qualify for the non-probationary licence.
If you have not had a drivers licence before; then the sequence is:
1. Learners Stage (Class 7 licence):
To get a Learners Permit you must:
If you have had a licence from another jursidiction and want to transfer to an Alberta licence, then you must:

If you're looking for a place to take your kids on your next staycation, then why not give them the choice? Write down all the names of all the states on pieces of paper and then put them in a bowl, except don't actually do this. Instead, rig the result by writing down the word "Colorado" fifty times and then celebrate when they pull it from the hat because the Colourful Colorado should definitely be your next stop. More specifically, though, you need to visit Denver.
The reason for this is, well, kids can be seriously tough to please, which is why we have come up with a bulletproof way for you to keep them smiling from ear to ear during your stay in The Mile High City.

Denver Zoo
If there is one thing kids love, it is the Zoo, so make it your first-day activity. Get up, have breakfast, walked out of the Residence Inn Denver Cherry Creek and straight into the zoo. This is the best way to start your holiday off on the right foot. The reason this place will make them smile is that this astonishing zoo is where education comes alive. There are almost 4500 animals here, but that's not the most impressive thing. The most impressive thing is that you get to see them enjoy life. Elephants swimming, lions roaring, orangutans swinging, and loads more. It is truly amazing.
Nature & Science Museum
You can't miss this place because it is right next door to the Zoo. Just retrace your steps and, voila, you've found it. Now you've probably been to a lot of museums with your children over the years, but this is something else. There are fossils and dinosaurs and Egyptian mummies and even a planetarium that explores some of the biggest mysteries we know about space. Oh, and there's an IMAX there too. It is the most mind-blowing experience you have (until you pop along to the Children's Museum that is).
Image source
Children's Museum
What makes this so special is that the learning is totally powered by children. We don't mean that children are running around in hamster balls powering the lights, what we mean is all of the learning as done on the kids' terms. It has been completely designed for the kids to explore, discover, and create. There is painting, sculpting, the chance to climb a three story mountain and forage like a squirrel, and to make huge bubbles (like 8-foot bubbles). Kids will love it and so will you because that's what learning should be like.
Awesome Aquarium
"This is place is like holding a kaleidoscope against the ocean," that's what the slogan or tagline to this place should say. There is just an astonishing amount of fish here. Not just fish, but birds and reptiles and even a tiger habitat too. In terms of breathtaking experiences, you can feed stingrays, find gold, swim with sharks, and even see mermaids. Now that's cool.
Elitch Gardens Theme Park
We recommend you wait until the last day because it's always best to save the best until last. Your children will still talk about this place years from now, which is because it is awesome, especially if you are a theme park pro. There are over 50 heart pulsing rides for the more daring and a 10-acre swimming area with slip slides, wave machines, and lazy rivers for the younger ones. This is an absolutely must-do day out.

Sometimes I smoke late at night, especially in the summer, I can sit on my balcony and enjoy a nice strong cigar. So what time of day do you smoke?
What Time of Day do you Smoke?
I thought I would start a discussion on what time of day do you smoke you cigars?. I personally smoke in the afternoon, depending on what type and brand of cigar I have. I usually smoke after a nice meal, or with a nice hot cup of coffee.
Sometimes I smoke late at night, especially in the summer, I can sit on my balcony and enjoy a nice strong cigar. So what time of day do you smoke?
9/22/2011 18:41:15
just started smoke'n cigars to u inhale them or not?
11/12/2013 12:15:47
Generally you do not inhale, because Cigars do not have a filter like cigarettes. If you did inhale every puff, it would be very harmful to your body and you would most likely get sick after smoking a Cigar. Inhaling once in a while would be fine, to get a taste of the Cigar you are smoking, but I would not recommend inhaling cigar smoke every single time.
1/25/2013 01:03:14
I usually smoke one in the late moring out in the patio when the sun's out or in the evening.
1/25/2013 02:00:16
My first visit to your sight. I smoke a long stick after lunch and a short one after dinner, most days.
1/25/2013 15:18:49
I usually smoke after dinner, or late at night depending on the weather.
1/26/2013 02:01:25
I have a smoke everyday after I get off work and home from the gym.
1/26/2013 16:39:44
I just came in from having a nice Don Tomas Clasico Robusto Maduro, and in my neck of the woods its at least minus twenty, but there is no wind so it was nice. As we all know wind is our enemy!

Feature Image: Southern Minnesota Early Childhood Initiative coalition leaders and SMIF Early Childhood staff holding the Governor's Proclamation.
For Immediate Release
Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation's 25 early childhood coalitions celebrate 15 years of our communities driving change locally, regionally, and statewide
OWATONNA, Minn., March 22, 2018 Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF) is pleased to announce that Governor Mark Dayton proclaimed Tuesday, March 20, 2018 as Minnesota Initiative Foundations' Early Childhood Initiative Day. The Proclamation honors 15 years of collaboration between SMIF and the five other Minnesota Initiative Foundations, along with community members and funding partners, to provide young children in Greater Minnesota with the best possible start toward a life of learning, achieving, and succeeding.
The Minnesota Early Childhood Initiative, a campaign for our youngest children, was launched in 2003 by the six Minnesota Initiative Foundations, in partnership with McKnight Foundation. The six Foundations implemented this model in their respective rural regions to engage local citizens in coalitions, focusing energy and resources on the needs of young children birth to age 8. More than 90 early childhood coalitions have been established in Greater Minnesota communities, 25 of those by SMIF in southern Minnesota: Austin, Blue Earth Area, Brown County, Fairmont Area, Faribault, Fillmore County, Freeborn County Thrive, Gibbon Fairfax Winthrop, Greater Mankato Area, Houston County, Kasson-Mantorville, Kenyon-Wanamingo, Lake Crystal, Martin County, New Prague Area, Northfield, Owatonna, Red Wing, Tri-City United, St. Peter, St. Charles Area, Waseca County, Waterville Elysian Morristown, Watonwan County, and Winona.
"All children are actively learning from birth on and it's critical they receive quality care for their healthy development," said Rae Jean Hansen, Vice President of Early Childhood at SMIF. "The people in our region who lead and participate in the Early Childhood Initiative Coalitions have accomplished programs, promoted policy and raised the level of awareness of quality early childhood. We are proud of these partnerships and the strong networks built throughout the region and the state."
Governor Dayton's Proclamation reads as follows:
Whereas: In 2003, six Minnesota Initiative Foundations established the Minnesota Early Childhood Initiative to promote high-quality early care and education for young children in Greater Minnesota; and
Whereas: Investment in our youngest children helps build bright futures for children and families, and creates significant economic benefits for Minnesota communities; and
Whereas: All children must enter school ready to succeed, and the best interest of our children must be a priority for leaders and policymakers; and
Whereas: The Minnesota Initiative Foundations have established a network of over 90 community coalitions engaging diverse stakeholders to champion high-quality early care and education, encourage leaders to create solutions to local needs, and present a unified voice to influence early childhood policy; and
Whereas: With the support of funding and community partners during the past 15 years, the Minnesota Initiative Foundations jointly raised $15.8 million, and leveraged millions of dollars more for their respective rural regions to advance early care and education strategies throughout Greater Minnesota; and
Whereas: Tens of thousands of children in Minnesota have been given strong starts to learning, achieving, and succeeding due to the contributions and shared vision of the six Minnesota Initiative Foundations, funders, volunteers, community partners, and donors statewide; and
Whereas: The six Minnesota Initiative Foundations serving Greater Minnesota will continue to utilize diverse early care and education strategies to ensure that young children and their families remain at the forefront of community and legislative conversation and action.
Now, therefore, I, Mark Dayton, Governor of Minnesota, do hereby proclaim Tuesday, March 20, 2018, as: Minnesota Early Childhood Initiative Day.

Saints Wild And Outside In 7-6 Loss To LemursST. PAUL, MN June 5, 2016
A night after starter Robert Coe walked seven, three St. Paul Saints pitchers combined for 11 walks and four wild pitches as for the first time this season the Saints lost back-to-back games losing 7-6 on Sunday night at Uni-Trade Stadium against the Laredo Lemurs. They dropped to 12-6 on the season and 4-3 on their 14 game roadtrip, the longest in franchise history.
The Saints trailed by a run, 5-4, going into the bottom of the eighth inning, but the Lemurs tacked on two vital insurance runs. Jesus Posso led off with a double that center fielder Alonzo Harris tried to leap and make the catch, but it went over his head and to the wall. Alvaro Rondon followed with an RBI single to make it 6-4. Ty Morrison sacrificed Rondon to second, but Saints reliever Cody Wheeler struck out J.D. Pulfer. Wheeler, however, would walk the next three hitters to force in a run and make it 7-4.
That proved to be costly because in the ninth the Saints staged a comeback against closer Jeff Inman. Angelo Songco led off with a single and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Tony Thomas knocked home Songco with a single to make it 7-5. Thomas finished the night 2-4 with a double, RBI and a run scored and extended his hitting streak to 17, tied for the eighth longest in franchise history. After Mike Gilmartin reached on a fielder's choice and advanced to second on a throwing error, Willie Argo struck out for the second out of the inning. Tanner Vavra came through with an RBI single to pull the Saints within a run. He stole second to put the tying run in scoring position, but Aaron Gretz struck out to end the game.
The Saints jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second when Thomas doubled with one out. With two outs Argo walked. Vavra reached on an error by shortstop J.D. Pulfer to load the bases. Gretz then hit a swinging bunt up along third that was fielded by Travis Denker. His throw to first was late and glanced off the glove of first baseman Jesus Posso. Two runs scored on the single and error.
Kody Knaus, a graduate of Concordia-St. Paul, got his first start of the season. He was sharp through three innings not allowing a hit despite three walks. In the fourth, however, he walked Denker with one out. With two outs Abel Nieves and Matt Koch singled to load the bases. An infield single by Drew Martinez plated a run to make it 2-1. Posso then blopped a single into shallow left that scored two to make it 3-2 Lemurs. Knaus went 4.0 innings allowing three runs on four hits while walking four and striking out one.
The bullpen took over in the fifth and Chris Peacock entered the game. He walked Denker with two outs and Denis Phipps doubled him to third. Peacock unlashed a wild pitch allowing Denker to score making it 4-2.
In the sixth Martinez led off with a single, advanced to second on a wild pitch and moved to third on a ground out. Peacock's second wild pitch of the inning, and third of the game, allowed Martinez to score making it 5-2.
The Saints drew within a run in the seventh when Mike Gilmartin singled with two outs and Argo followed with a two-run homer, his first of the season, to make it 5-4.
The Saints now travel 632 miles to Amarillo to take on the Texas AirHogs at Potter County Memorial Stadium in game one of a three game series. The Saints send RHP John Straka (2-0, 4.86) to the mound against AirHogs LHP Ethan Carnes (1-0, 2.33). The game can be heard on Club 1220 KLBB.
