Sadomasochistic Teakettles
Leo: Which I'm thinking have merit, considering her requests for some, uh, violent... physicalness... in bed.
Jack: Crazy? Violent? Tell me more.
Leo: She wanted to be hit.
Jack: That. is. wow.
Leo: Not with a closed fist, but more like a slap.
Jack: Like where?
Leo: Ass mostly. She asked for it on the face once.
So@24: ...
So@24: ...
So@24: I bought a teakettle at Target this weekend.
Leo: Needless to say, I freaked the fuck out. It got too close for missiles, I switched to guns.
Leo: By which I mean: it's masturbation from here on out. Which by the way, I woke up the next morning to her doing to herself right next to me. It felt like that scene in American Beauty with Annette Bening waking up to Kevin Spacey squealing one off.
So@24: I was going to get the one for $11.99, but decided to take caution to the wind and get the one for $17.99.
Jack: Leo, I miss you.

That is hilarious!!!
You're adorable. I also get excited by teakettles though...so you're not alone!
And yes, I also have crazy friends, one of whom once told me her boyfriend and her often slap each other whilst getting down.
To each their own I guess? - January 28, 2009 at 12:27 AM

Uh, let's be less judgemental about people wanting certain things during certain times. IfyouknowhatImean.
Let's not share this with my mother, huh? - January 28, 2009 at 12:45 AM

Gosh, I never would have had Leo down as someone who's freaked out by a bit of spanking!

Oh My Lord I couldn't stop laughing at your teakettle story!!! You're too cute.
- January 28, 2009 at 3:41 AM
- Kris said...
Teakettles are awesome.
And yeah, I'm also pretty surprised that Leo got freaked out by that.
I would assume that he could take it in stride - no biggie.
Stick to teakettles. They're more fun. - January 28, 2009 at 4:06 AM

You are so cute!! Teakettles; way better than slapping :)

I say go big or go home...there's no point in getting a cheap tea kettle.

So what kind of tea kettle did you get?
- January 28, 2009 at 6:01 AM
- unMuse said...
awwww. Did you feel slightly left out of weekend damage story time?
I get Leo being freaked out at slapping someone in the face, but to each their own. I am, however, surprised that he wasn't more excited about the girl going to town on herself. I thought guys like to watch it. - January 28, 2009 at 6:03 AM
I love tea and teakettles...
Next time tell Leo to give her a good slap across the face. Maybe it will shut her up. - January 28, 2009 at 6:07 AM

- Wiwille said...
I had a girl beg me to slap her in the face hard once. I couldn't do it. Stopped mid stroke and told her we needed to have a conversation.
I think purchasing teakettles could be taken as 'fucked up'. - January 28, 2009 at 7:05 AM
- Emmeline said...
hahahahahahaha. that is all I have to say.
Em - January 28, 2009 at 7:07 AM
- Wendy said...
Wow, you're risky! I would have gone for the 11.99. Same thing, but even cheaper.
I was trying so hard not to laugh out loud when reading this, I'm in the library!
You've turned me into THAT girl. The one giggling with her hand covering her mouth who everyone thinks is totally watching porn. And I snorted, SO.
SNORTED. Damn you. - January 28, 2009 at 7:12 AM
- Sassy Britches said...
What you're NOT mentioning to the guys is the "tea party" you had with five gorgeous babes, right?
- January 28, 2009 at 7:12 AM
- The Passionate Book Worm said...
hahaha! I just got a disturbing visual of the teakettle being used as a weapon. Outright frightening!

Where did this conversation take place? Group chat on AIM? hahaha.
Tea kettles are cool, too. Chin up! - January 28, 2009 at 7:19 AM

Sometimes you gotta slap a ho. I don't see the problem with that.
- January 28, 2009 at 7:27 AM
- LBluca77 said...
Slapping me on the ass no problem, slapping me in the face he better be ready to throw down.
- January 28, 2009 at 7:27 AM
- Debbi said...
OMG. hahhahaah you boys make me laugh. And kinda wet my pants-- in the 'good' way!
The older he gets, he might not be as surprised when another chick asks the same thing. Or gets herself off in bed beside him.
It's not as 'crazy' or as unheard of as he may think it is.
just sayin. - January 28, 2009 at 7:29 AM

You know, less guys are into that sort of thing than you would imagine. Tea kettle shopping, I mean.

thank you. this made me laugh so so hard this morning. if it makes you feel any better, your target experience is much closer to my life than leo's crazy sexual encounters.
- January 28, 2009 at 7:55 AM
- MarvelousMOM said...
Damn! This was a good way to start my morning. That girl is definitely very comfortable with her sexuality!

This is way too funny because I'm currently making a list of kitchen items that I'll be after once I have a sizable income. Tea kettle is on the list.
- January 28, 2009 at 9:57 AM
- Brianna said...
I would've gone with the cheaper one...but hey I bought ours at IKEA for $10.
Leo shouldn't be shocked, I do that sometimes after my husband falls asleep, but it's never woken him up...let's hope he doesn't read this :) - January 28, 2009 at 10:07 AM
- bianca said...
HAHA aww teakettles are great. Way to splurge.

THANK YOU for the laugh!
I definitely think you made the right choice with the 17.99 teakettle. It's a kitchen essential for sure.
=) - January 28, 2009 at 11:37 AM

I laughed - but was disturbed at your choice of friends (again!) - at this one. Thanks! :)

A little tap on the ass is okay, a slap in the face?? Not so much...I love these conversations between you boys - so hilarious
- January 28, 2009 at 12:05 PM
- Dr. Kenneth Noisewater said...
Leo's got a real freak on his hands. Yikes. If this girl wants to be slapped by him, surely he could talk her into things, like getting on his good friend who desperately needs some.
If I had a freak of the week like that, she'd be all yours for the weekend. - January 28, 2009 at 12:38 PM

oh SO I love your blog....
I think a lot of people like to be slapped on the ass (read: my disgusting neighbor). but on the face? fa-reak. - January 28, 2009 at 8:00 PM
- Trixie the Pixie said...
So, here I thought ass-spanking was becoming more and more "mainstream". As in, all the girls are doing it now, because it's seemingly "trendy". Hmm. Maayyyybe not.
I like the teakettles that whistle when the water's ready. - January 28, 2009 at 8:18 PM

Dude, you are becoming frighteningly closer and closer to Steve Carell in 40-Year-Old Virgin.

What? Teakettles get hot. They get so hot they scream. See SO you were on the same page ;)

How do you know that the one for $17.99 is definitely going to be better than the one for $11.99?

Awww. ha ha what color is the kettle? pictures please!
P.S. Did you really get a kettle?Would you use it? - January 29, 2009 at 8:14 AM
- The Japxican said...
Are you a tea man? I guess all half Asians are...I like those kettle things that you just push a button in it and it like super heats the water in like 30 seconds...I used to have one in college even though I think they were considered a fire hazard or something. - January 29, 2009 at 8:42 AM

YES! I'm just saying, teakettles are awesome.

- Your Ill-fitting Overcoat said...
Agreed with other commenters on surprise at Leo's surprise! Maybe he gets around less than I thought he did... :)
And your tea kettle comments cracked. my. shit. up. - January 29, 2009 at 12:13 PM
Lemme guess - Leo is Germany, right? God bless him...
VI - January 29, 2009 at 12:21 PM
that's 'in' Germany. But if he's back in the US, what town? You might need to visit...
- January 29, 2009 at 12:23 PM

Hahahaha!! Too freaking funny. How's your new tea kettle working?

Sometimes you just have to indulge yourself with the nicer teakettle, you know. I feel you.
- January 29, 2009 at 5:24 PM

Ha - can't be scared of the rough stuff. If sex was made for kids I would still be allowed within 100 feet of that preschool.

next time you should talk about teakettles then insert a sentence or two about erotic asphyxiation, then continue on with your sentence and see if anyone notices.

That had better be one hot teapot, buddy!
- January 29, 2009 at 11:03 PM
- Dolce said...
Everyone is paying attention to the slapping and NOT the next morning.
I mean...I have to know more. Was she manual driving that train or sitting pretty cruising in automatic?
It says a lot about Leo:
A. He's so incredible in bed the very thought of the previous night's romp leaves her in need of more.
B. He sucks balls and she had to finish the job herself. - January 30, 2009 at 8:09 AM
I'm so sad about this...I love your blog (have been too shy to comment), but this is...a wee bit judgmental, shall I say? So the girl likes a bit of pain with her pleasure, big deal. Maybe it's not Leo's thing, but why insult her for having the guts to ask for what she wants? Ugh.

i liked getting slapped too.
- January 31, 2009 at 1:12 PM

I'm more into the hair-pulling than slapping, but to each her own. :)
- January 31, 2009 at 6:53 PM

Lol--you are a very sad very hilarious man SO.
I too am surprised that Leo would be taken aback by that... - February 13, 2009 at 9:07 AM

'It is frustrating'
For some of Odinga's strongholds, the mood was tense but calm.
"Our man has tried to be president three times, it is frustrating," said James Ouma, who lives in the capital of Nairobi. "We will accept it. What can we do? Life must go on."
Odinga said the election outcome is flawed.
"We are confident that the court will restore the faith of Kenyans in the democratic role," he said.
Despite the looming challenge, Kenyatta struck a conciliatory note after the close election, applauding Odinga for a "spirited campaign,"
"I know that all the candidates have made tremendous personal sacrifices .. and I welcome them to join us in moving our nation forward," he said.
A vital ally
The vote's significance extends far beyond Kenyan borders.
Kenya is East Africa's biggest economy and a crucial trade route into the rest of the continent.

Listen to the Tech Trends 2013 Podcasts Hear how technology executives and industry luminaries view this year's Tech Trends, and their advice for where to start. |
Deloitte's annual Technology Trends report examines the ever-evolving landscape of technology put to practical business use. Once again, we've selected 10 trends that we believe have the opportunity to impact business over the next 18 to 24 months.
This year's theme, Elements of postdigital, looks more deeply into the five forces of postdigital enterprise that we introduced last year: analytics, mobile, social, cloud and cyber. As we have worked more deeply with these elements of postdigital, we've discovered that the formulae of these combined elements are likely to have the most significant impact on business.
We invite you to view the brief three-minute overview video, and explore each of the 10 trends through the links below.
Our 2013 trends are grouped into two categories:
Disruptors are opportunities that can create sustainable positive disruption in IT capabilities, business operations, and sometimes even business models.
Enablers are technologies in which many CIOs have already invested time and effort, but which warrant another look because of new developments or opportunities.
Each of the 2013 trends is relevant today. Each has significant momentum and potential to make an impact. And each warrants timely consideration. Forward-thinking organizations should consider developing an explicit strategy in each area – even if that strategy is to wait and see. But whatever you do, step up. Provoke and harvest disruption. Don't get caught unaware or unprepared.

View: Press Release "We are impressed with Apriso's automotive industry knowledge and ability to cost effectively provide an operations system with real-time visibility, all the way across our global supply chain network. As we engage in our ERP roll out, I feel better knowing that Apriso tightly integrates with enterprise applications such as ERP, demonstrating how well the two systems complement each other to improve overall operations performance." Luc Pirau, View: Success Story "This is the smoothest go-live I have experienced in my career. It looks like we have developed a solid basis for our future projects." Hans-Bernd Veltmaat, View: Success Story "Apriso is a very cost effective solution. The ease of use, the ease of training, the lower cost associated with training, and the system itself has proven to be extremely reliable. Our overall IT costs are at approximately .7% against revenues, which we believe is about half of what our industry average is." View: Press Release "We are excited to work with Apriso and will be able to leverage their experience in providing the manufacturing flexibility required to support our dynamic manufacturing models." View: Success Story | Webcast "We now have full traceability of finished goods. Integrity control is much better. We have faster physical stock checks and automated order picking. Paperwork is a thing of the past. And we have meaningful reports - all thanks to FlexNet. These indicate a highly successful implementation." Maciek Radecki, View: Customer Podcast | Webcast "Apriso provides us with the ability to track our value stream in real time, alarm and notify people when we aren't performing at the level to get us to our "to be" state; what we find is this allows us to slowly, but surely, shrink the segments of our value stream and increase our cycle times and improve our processes to give us greater productivity. One of the most significant examples of reductions was our inventory reduction at over 60%, which has allowed us to free up 96,000 square feet of floor space in one of our factories where we could add production capacity." Lee Hudson, View: Press Release "Apriso's FlexNet is really much more than a typical Manufacturing Execution System. It is a manufacturing operations management system, offering Boston-Power a more comprehensive solution for our rigorous manufacturing needs. FlexNet allows us to monitor and control the performance of our entire manufacturing process, including detailed product traceability and genealogy." View: Press Release "Given the tighter capacity utilization environment in which we now operate, Apriso has helped us to improve efficiency and throughput by up to 15 percent while at the same time simplifying our IT architecture, enabling greater manufacturing flexibility without IT assistance." Bryan Moorman, Corporate Functions IT, View: Sucess Story "An immediate benefit to implementing FlexNet has been real-time visibility to operations, helping to enhance operational performance while reducing IT costs." Loïc Sanson, View: Press Release "Given the new technologies and the breadth of supplier relationships that are integral components of the Chevrolet Volt, we needed a fundamentally different approach to manufacturing operations. With market demands shifting, technologies evolving, and implementing new production processes across a distributed manufacturing network, partners like Apriso aided us in adapting quickly." Kevin Mixer, View: Press Release "FlexNet Containment Manager easily allows us to identify and quarantine an engine or parts by multiple criterion, such as operation time, operator, work center, child or parent parts. Out-of-spec work-in-process can now be held and not shipped to our customers, helping to improve customer satisfaction." Han Pengjun, View: Press Release "Everyone here at Hitachi is very glad we made the change to Apriso's FlexNet. To sum it up, FlexNet offers much more flexibility than our previous system (it's living up to its name!) in changing PM schedules, due dates and assignments while at the same time is much more user-friendly." View: Press Release "We needed to improve both business processes and IT systems to adapt faster to increased distribution challenges. Apriso now plays a critical role in helping Isuzu to reduce time before shipping, decrease inventory and improve profits." "Apriso's adaptive manufacturing software adapts to me. It gives us the ability to change the look and feel of the product and how we apply our underlying rules…Apriso gives us the flexibility we need." Juan Leal, "It would have been costly and difficult to implement the best practice in SAP. Costly because the SAP customization and… because of the complex details. We needed a system that could run autonomously on all the sites, in order to assure that the information system will never block the preferences of the other sites. And, Apriso knows SAP well and the interfacing problem of SAP." Jacques Playe, View: Success Story "With Apriso, we have improved productivity
and achieved greater
operational excellence.
We estimate our Andrea Gallina, "NGK Spark Plugs' implementation of FlexNet has enabled us to realize greater visibility across each production line, resulting in improved operational performance. By leveraging the best practice processes within each of FlexNet's business components, our project's objectives were completed faster resulting in dramatically improved financial results."

Mazatlán is a city in the Mexican state of Sinaloa. It is located on the Pacific coast, across from the southernmost tip of the Baja California peninsula. The city was founded in 1531 by an army of Spaniards and Indian settlers, and in recent times become a popular tourist destination, with its beaches lined with resort hotels. Mazatlán's Malecón is one of the longest in the world, a promenade that skirts the beaches of Mazatlan for nearly twenty-one kilometers.

Cabo San Lucas is a city and seaport at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula in Mexico. Cabo is known for its sandy beaches, world-class scuba diving locations, balnearios, the distinctive sea arch El Arco de Cabo San Lucas, and abundant marine life, including birthing whales in the winter, and a large marlin sportfishing industry.

Meet your private driver at the port, and embark on today's half-day guided city tour of Cabo San Lucas. Cabo San Lucas, which rounds out the southernmost tip of Baja California, is affectionately known as Lands End, and it is said that if you head due south from the Arch you won't reach land until the South Pole. The tour starts first with a stop at a glass blowing factory in San Jose. Following a tour of the factory and its processes, you'll transfer to Cabo San Lucas to take a boat a trip that allows for up-close viewings of tropical fish and craggy reefs below, to the last rock of the peninsula for views of the Arch, the sea lion colony and the breathtaking Lovers Beach.

You'll conclude your tour with a return transfer to the pier.

"This was a bona fide academic exercise of considerable intellectual merit."- Judge William G. Young
The Belfast Project was an oral history of Irish Republican and Loyalist paramilitaries gathered between 2001-2006 and archived in the Burns Library at Boston College.
"[These materials] are of interest – valid academic interests. They're of interest to the historian, sociologist, the student of religion, the student of youth movements, academics who are interested in insurgency and counterinsurgency, in terrorism and counterterrorism. They're of interest to those who study the history of religions."- Judge William G. Young
In 2010, the first interviews from the archive were published in the book Voices from the Grave, and featured in the documentary of the same name. These interviews, with former IRA leader Brendan Hughes and former UVF member David Ervine, were made public upon the death of the interviewees as per their agreement with Boston College.
In March, 2011, the British Government contacted the US Department of Justice to initiate proceedings which led to the issuing of a sealed subpoena for all materials relating to two interviews in the archive, those of Brendan Hughes and former IRA member Dolours Price. Dolours Price's interviews are still embargoed under the terms of agreement she has with the Burns Library.
Boston College filed a Motion to Quash the subpoena in June.
In August, 2011, a second subpoena was served seeking "any and all interviews containing information about the abduction and death of Mrs. Jean McConville."
Following the issuance of the second subpoena, Project Director Ed Moloney and Lead Researcher Anthony McIntyre also sought leave to intervene on their own merits in the "Boston College Tapes" action, in support of Boston College's Motion to Quash. If successful, they will be granted leave to join the action as plaintiffs, seeking to compel the Attorney General to abide by his obligations under the US-UK Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty. They will ask the Court to order the Attorney General to take cognisance of solemn promises made by the U.K. Government to the U.S. Senate that it would not 'reopen issues addressed in the Belfast Agreement, or [ ] impede any further efforts to resolve the conflict in Northern Ireland.'
In December, 2011, Judge William G. Young ruled against both Boston College's Motions to Quash the Subpoenas and Moloney and McIntyre's Motion to Intervene. He granted Boston College's suggestion to review the archives in camera and subsequently ordered the material to be handed over. Boston College declined to appeal while Moloney and McIntyre filed a Notice of Appeal and complaint seeking a judicial review. They also won a Motion for Stay Pending Appeal to the First Circuit.
In January, 2012, Judge Young dismissed Moloney and McIntyre's Complaint. Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Senator John Kerry publicly called upon Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to intervene and have the subpoenas withdrawn.
Moloney and McIntyre filed their Appeal with the First Circuit in February, 2012. The ACLU filed an amicus brief in Moloney and McIntyre's case. Congressmen Crowley and Ackerman along with Senator Menendez have written to Secretary of State Clinton calling for a withdrawal of the subpoena. The American Sociological Association issued a statement in support of the right of research confidentiality. The Boston College chapter of the AAUP have started a petition calling on the administration of Boston College to investigate the handling of the Belfast Project and the subpoenas. Boston College filed their appeal of the second subpoena in March, 2012.
In Ireland, Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin questioned the Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, about the case.
Senator Chuck Schumer wrote to Attorney General Holder and Secretary of State Clinton asking for the subpoena to be withdrawn. Senator John Kerry followed up his letter with an Op-Ed calling on a withdrawal of the subpoena, and Senator Scott Brown also wrote to Holder and Clinton, uniting both Massachusetts Senators against this move by the Department of Justice on behalf of the British. Congressmen O'Flaherty, Pascrell, Rothman and Doyle have asked the Secretary of State and Attorney General to intervene. To date, 20 members of Congress have written to both Holder and Clinton seeking a withdrawal of the subpoenas.
On April 4th, the Moloney and McIntyre Appeal was heard at the First Circuit Court of Appeals.
The First Circuit issued their ruling on July 6th, upholding Judge Young's ruling from the lower court. Moloney and McIntyre sought a re-hearing. The ruling from the US Court led to the issue being discussed in the Dáil in July, 2012, and it was described as having the potential to impact the peace process by the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Joe Costello.
Oral arguments for Boston College's appeal of the second subpoena were heard in September. A ruling from the First Circuit is pending.
In Belfast, lead researcher Anthony McIntyre filed for a Judicial Review, which was denied. This will be appealed.
Moloney and McIntyre sought and were granted a Stay from the US Supreme Court, pending the filing of a cert petition. Their Petition for a Writ of Certiorari was filed in mid-November, 2012. The Solicitor General initially waived the US Government right to file a response. The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, ARTICLE 19, the Irish American Coalition of the AOH, IAUC, and the Brehon Society, along with a group of Social Science Scholars all filed Amicus Briefs in support of the petitioners. The Solicitor General then asked for an extension to file a response, which was granted with the deadline of January 31, 2013.
On 23 January, 2013, Dolours Price, whose archives formed the basis of the MLAT request, died at her home in Dublin, Ireland. The Solicitor General requested a further extension to file their reply to the Moloney & McIntyre petition to the Supreme Court, and was granted until March 4, 2013 to do so. In the First Circuit Court of Appeals, Boston College filed a moved to vacate the lower court order of Judge Young and moot their pending appeal. The US Attorney opposed their motion. The Appeal is still pending.
On 15 April, the Supreme Court denied the Moloney and McIntyre petition.
This website documents the fight against the subpoenas.
The value of the Oral Tradition is its democracy; it doesn't give to an intellectual elite the exclusive right to shape a communal memory and the collective memory. It makes into a common wealth the story of our shared lives. It's something that we share in common -and it's like a collection plate into which we can all put something: our stories, our myths and the ease with which we are able to, in some way, cross boundaries. - Cleophus Thomas, Jr.

Indians: Next stop for Francisco Lindor on the way to the majors is Carolina
As it turns out, the Indians got two of the top eight picks in the 2011 June Draft — the third and the eighth overall picks.
The third pick was pitcher Trevor Bauer, selected by Arizona and traded to the Indians last month.
The eighth pick was shortstop Francisco Lindor, selected by the Indians with their first-round pick. Over the last year and a half, Tribe officials have had a hard time restraining themselves when raving about the 19-year-old switch-hitter.
"He exceeded our expectations last season, and the starting point for our expectations couldn't have been higher," said Indians vice president of player development Ross Atkins.
Lindor is one of 13 Indians minor-leaguers who are at Progressive Field this week to take part in the team's annual Winter Development Program, which is aimed at the club's top minor-league prospects who are projected to be in the major leagues within a year and a half.
Lindor has been on the fast track since the Indians drafted him as a Florida high schooler. Last year at age 18 he was a baseball rarity: playing for a full season minor-league team — the Lake County Captains — as a teenager.
He was one of the youngest players in the Midwest League and more than held his own. In 490 at-bats he hit .257 with six home runs, 42 RBI and 27 stolen bases, and was selected to play in the Future's Game during Major League Baseball's All-Star weekend.
Lindor will start the 2013 season at high Class-A Carolina, where he will again be one of the youngest players in the league, and it would not be a surprise if he plays his way to Class AA Akron sometime during the second half of the season.
When asked what Lindor needs to work on most in his development, Atkins doesn't mention any of the typical areas, such as his hitting, defense or base-running. All the tangibles are already there.
"What he needs to work on is dealing with the expectations he has for himself," said Atkins. "He wants to be The Guy on every team he plays for, and sometimes that leads him to trying to do too much." Continued...
Lindor plays, looks and carries himself like The Guy, but not in a cocky way. It's more a case of a player who knows he's major league-bound trying to show his bosses he's got everything covered on and off the field.
Asked what he thinks he needs to improve on, Lindor said, "Everything. I want to be the greatest player I possibly can be."
He is clearly the elite No. 1 prospect in the Indians' organization. Baseball America says Lindor "has the look of a future All-Star shortstop. His defense is already major-league caliber." The publication says Lindor is the best infield prospect the Indians have had since Brandon Phillips and the organization's best position player prospect since Victor Martinez.
In 2013, Lindor will work on getting stronger, which will help him deal with the long professional season.
"The biggest adjustment for me in pro ball is learning to play every day. In high school, we played maybe two games a week," he said.
"Prior to last year, the most games he had ever played in a season was 40," said Atkins. Last year at Lake County, Lindor played in 122 games.
The grind of a professional season is reflected in Lindor's first and second half splits at Lake County. After hitting .285 with a .369 on-base percentage and .410 slugging percentage in the first half of the season, he slipped to .228 with a .355 on-base percentage and .299 slugging percentage in 62 games after the break.
"Besides adjusting to playing games every day, the other biggest adjustment for me is the pitchers are so much smarter," said Lindor. "They have scouting reports on you and are really good at figuring out how to pitch you."
Over the last 20 years, the Indians have had only one home-grown shortstop in their opening day lineup. That was Jhonny Peralta.
Asdrubal Cabrera, the current office-holder, can become a free agent after the 2014 season, so the unofficial countdown for the passing of the shortstop torch from Cabrera to Lindor will likely begin about a year from now. Continued...
"Francisco's awareness of everything around him, his maturity, that's what really stands out," said Atkins. "And his ability speaks for itself."

Faktum/Nexus "String" Kitchen
Materials: Faktum/Nexus Kitchen
Description: I built a nice 'String' kitchen using Ikea Faktum kitchen cabinets with Nexus brown doors/fronts/cover panels and "String" side panels.
"String-shelf" is a Swedish popular shelf from the 1950s...
My idea was to create a kitchen that felt more like a piece of furniture since we lived in a really small apartment and the living room was the same room.. So from there I used the Faktum/Nexus kitchen cabinets and complemented with the string side panels.
What I realized in my planning was that it (in Sweden and with my budget) was impossible to find cabinet doors in wood, which was the same as the countertop... It's strange that cabinet sides and doors in the kitchen always has a contrasting top, while a sideboard often has the same...
Because of that I used cover panels for the countertop, strengthened it underneath with Nexus doors.
The result was very good, also added Perfekt Rounded deco strip/moulding against the wall, inside the countertop to get a small protrusion of the countertop .. I painted the countertop once more to make it more impact resistant.
Then I realized that there is also the same problem to find shelves in the same material as the cabinet doors, so the cover panels came in use again, with reinforcement against the wall in the center rear.
We were very pleased with the result, a vibrant personal kitchen!

This looks AMAZING! Where did you get the black shelf sides? Also when do I move in?

lovely kitchem, feels very homely... but let us know after some time how the coverpanels /worktop work out.... is it strong enough? don't they wear out easily ? - AnonymousFebruary 08, 2012 12:08 PM
Great job, love the look of your little kitchen/ livingroom. I have one of those myself that I'm currently rearranging and you really inspired me just now; thanks :o)

Great looking kitchen, esp. considering the small area you had to work with. Just a WOW hack!

Hello and thanks for all the nice comments!
I have never posted any of my projects here or in other forums, so this was really fun ..
To find the "String sides" see www.string.se.
The refrigerator is in base level, "FROSTY 2-drawer fridge", located to the left of the stove To the right of the sink is the dishwasher and my thought was to have the freezer in between. Chose to have a standard base cabinet there instead and put the freezer in a closet in the hall. We have quite a lot of cookware and needed spaces ..
We have just moved from the apartment but the countertop did well this past year. One would certainly have been able to paint the countertop several times to protect it more, but it has nevertheless done well!

Hello! Thanks for your post, very inspiring. Does string sells the fixations appart? If not, which kind of fixation did you use to fix the cabinets and shelves?
Marie - AnonymousMarch 09, 2012 4:20 PM
Yes, String sells the fixation appart. I was a bit stingy and bought simple fittings to the shelves at the hardware store and paint them black.
The cabinets I mounted to the wall, so the ends are just for show there. // Elina - AnonymousMarch 12, 2012 6:24 AM
Hi there! I'm wondering where you bought that calendar/clock combo thingy? I Absolutely love it!
> Marije This is so brilliant. We had our kitchen and shed converted and updated a couple of years ago. We managed to get a vintage string unit sent from Germany to go in the new garden room and I didn't want a 'kitcheny' look either. We used the same nexus top units from Ikea and made a fridge freezer surround as we din't want that totally built in new look. As we like MCM we wanted the kitchen diner to reflect this and feel like it had been put in 50 years ago. I love the way it's turned out but had I seen this first I would have definitely taken some of your ideas. Isn't it a shame that teak kitchens are hard to come by. All that I find were discontinued or found in Australia! Thank Goodness for Ikea.
Thank you for sharing this. Do you miss your kitchen now that you've moved and would you do it again?- AnonymousMarch 29, 2012 3:58 PM
The time is called Flip wall clock, Fartech.
I would definitely make a similar kitchen again!
If you have a small apartment, you can also do it in white to make it a little neater.
We have now moved to a townhouse from the 50's and I almost burst because of all the ideas I have for renovations and furnishings ...
I really like your home "Flutterbymama"!

It will require a $250 permit each time a utility digs into a Rossville road.
Mayor Teddy Harris used a modified version of a similar ordinance that was recently passed in Red Bank, Tenn. It will predominantly be applicable to water and gas repairs or service additions.
Rossville codes enforcement officer Mark Harris will inspect each permit.
The ordinance defines the acceptable paving procedures upon completion by the utility and creates a two-year liability for the restoration work. It also require a permit for road tunneling procedures to protect the integrity of streets and sidewalks.
Additional permit fees of $100 for a sidewalk and $50 for cutting into the curb and gutter are also applied.
Harris assured council members that Atlanta Gas and Light Co. will absorb the cost of installation in the contract with new customers.
The utility or individual must contact Harris with a 24-hour notice prior to cutting into any city right-of-way, except in emergency circumstances.
A recent roadway emergency was mentioned by Harris during the work session prior to the council meeting.
A dangerous gas leak had seeped into the city's sewer system through a nearby manhole on Friday, Jan 11.
It was discovered by the city's public works employees upon taking down holiday decorations.
"The sewer was measured at 'thirty times its explosive rate,' Harris said, as council members breathed a sigh of relief at the averted dangerous situation.
The sewer system was ventilated for a period of time, then the necessary repairs were made.
In other city business:
· The recreation park was formally leased for one year to the Rossville Recreation Association, which is overseen by Carthell Rogers. Council member Rick Buff was opposed to the concept of an exclusive leasing of city property.
Rogers assured the council that a umbrella insurance policy covered all players and league directors. The city holds a similar insurance policy on their properties.
A similar one-year lease with Battlefield Remote Control, for $110 per month, was approved for the dirt race track, which is located on the Rossville Recreational facilities.
· Council member Rick Buff commended first responders for their service and dedication after a recent response. Jerry Holder, with the Rossville Fire Department, cared for Buff's 16-month-old grandson, prior to the arrival of an ambulance. The boy had turned blue during a seizure. Holder assessed the child and reassured the parents that the boy would be fine.
"We will be forever thankful for the attitude Jerry had when he came in the house," Buff said emotionally, "He definitely calmed things down."
Council member Joyce Wall echoed the appreciation of Rossville's first responders from another instance in which her 92-year-old neighbor fell and broke a hip.

text: I just wanted to post that I like cucumber juice now! Is that not crazy? I hated it the first few times I tried it. I am drinking it straight on the rocks (ice) with a little sea salt. Sometimes I put it in a fancy glass and rim the glass with olive oil and rub the edge in sea salt. It looks like a really green margarita. When I am low on my leafy green intake for the day I add some Romaine or Spinich.

Whale of a treat
Ironfish delights with a variety of tasty catches
I was overjoyed to head back for another meal at Ironfish by Pescados, considered the Best New Restaurant in 2011 by both the Richmond Times Dispatch and Richmond Magazine. I agree whole-heartedly with their ratings. Since I first visited the restaurant for my birthday in January, I was waiting for the perfect special occasion to return. I couldn't wait another year, obviously.
Run by the same restaurateurs as Pescados Latin Caribbean Seafood in Midlothian and Eat in Oregon Hill, Ironfish offers the same unique dishes and top-level customer service. > Read more.
