Julio Lugo of the Atlanta Braves scores the game-winning run in the 19th inning against Michael McKenry of the Pittsburgh Pirates at Turner Field on July 26, 2011 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Scott Cunningham/Getty Images)
Yes, the throw beat Julio Lugo and it sure looked like Michael McKenry tagged Lugo. But isn't it possible that umpire Jerry Meals saw something the rest of us didn't?
Call me a sensationalist or an iconoclast if you like, but I just gotta say something this morning ...
Jerry Meals might have been right.
I'm sorry, but I still have not seen a conclusive replay. I've read a lot of Tweets from people claiming the replays or screen-captures are conclusive, but I'm looking at the same things and I'm just not seeing it. I'm not seeing a for sure in any of them.
Yes, the throw beat Lugo by 10 feet and that's usually an automatic out. And hey, don't we get pissed off at umpires who assume outs, just because the throw's there in plenty of time? I do.
It might not be likely, but it's possible that Jerry Meals saw something, something real, that none of the cameras were able to see. If there was an eighth of an inch between Michael McKenry's mitt and Julio Lugo's pants, would the cameras have caught that gap? Not from what I've been able to tell; none of the cameras were placed in just the right place to see that gap, if there was one.
Yeah, I know Lugo behaved as if he were out. Players do that all the time. Sometimes they just don't know. Sometimes they assume they're out because the throw beat them by 10 feet. Usually they're right. Not always.
Meals did talk to the writers after the game -- he deserves some credit for that, by the way -- and he seemed less than supremely confident that he'd gotten it right:
"I saw the tag, but he looked like he oléd him and I called him safe for that. I looked at the replays and it appeared he might have got him on the shin area. I'm guessing he might have got him, but when I was out there when it happened I didn't see a tag.
"I just saw the glove sweep up. I didn't see the glove hit his leg."
Yeah, he probably missed it. Probably blew it. But it's less than fair to accuse him of missing the call because he wanted to get back to his hotel. Umpires, for all their faults, are highly professional and especially when everyone's paying attention. They just don't miss 'em on purpose.
You can blame Jerry Meals for the Pirates' loss, and I suppose there's a pretty good chance he deserves it. But what about Clint Hurdle, who lost a 19-inning game and never used his best relief pitcher, instead asking another of his relief pitchers to throw more than 90 pitches? What about McKenry, who employed the swipe tag when he could have planted his glove squarely on just about any part of Lugo's person?
Hey, I wanted Lugo to be out, too. Watching last night's game with hundreds of my best (Twitter) friends was the most fun I've had all season. I wanted the game to last forever. But I can't sit idly while so many usually reasonable people just assume something that's not actually in evidence. Not according to my eyes, anyway.
What's the chance that Jerry Meals got that game-ending call right?

Anyone else excited about this game?
Yep, been following it since its release in Japan last December. Can't wait for it to be released this March.
FF13 was the reason that I bought the PS3 when it first came out. The recent trailers have been beautiful, especially the cinematics, damage floaters and the overall UI system.
Now I have to get my crapbox 360 fixed!
I was excited, then I started to read more and more. It's really starting to sound like a big letdown. Previews and reviews have not been good, it's supposed to be extremely linear and soulless, with no towns and very little NPC interaction....
I am not having much faith at the moment.
Sounds to me like the game is low in the character devolpment. If this is the case, how can you call this a true RPG?
Hang on, no towns, low character development? That doesn't sound like FF at all - it should be a spin-off (sounds a bit like Mystic Quest on SNES actually), not a numbered installment. Personally I think that should've applied to XI and XIV as well, because they're MMORPGs and thus have no character development whatsoever.
The linearity and lack of towns and all that stuff contribute to the story-driven experience rather than game.
I like video game Stories or I would't play FF games. Character Development is always been apart of that. IDK though cus Tails: Dawn of the new world had lower character development compared to the original game and for the most part It was a good game. My main problem with it was the 360 veiw camera. I got the game the day it came out and I still can not get used to fighting with it.
So I guess if the story remains good and the battle system does'nt blow I will enjoy the game. That if I get my XB-360 fixed.
I would call that a lazy excuse on the part of the developers though, I have played plenty of games that have had fantastic engrossing stories that have lasted me hours upon hours and the towns, developing and side development have been there.
I was reading on a CVG interview with the developers the reason they didn't make towns and detailed NPC's is it would have been too hard to render in HD! To me that's the worst excuse, Look at Mass Effect 2, that's a huge game with loads of mini stories and arcs going on and a much more complicated design, you get what 5 or 6 city/ town like environments.
I feel like final fantasy games have really going downhill as of late, I had so much hope for this one but the more I read of it, user reviews and comments, I just feel like It is graphics over game play and substance.

Comments about Little Bear Training Toothpaste - Berry Blast:
I gave this product 4 stars because it contains parabens, which I'm not thrilled about. BUT, it does a great job, tastes good (to our 18-month-old), and is a good value. The smell reminds me of my own childhood.

Zoosk.com Advice: Ask Julie Spira, Online Dating Expert
March 17, 2010 at 3:41 pm Zoosk 7 comments
by Julie Spira, online dating expert
Congratulations! You've found a Zoosker that you'd like to get to know better. You've chatted online and now you believe that you'd like to take the chatting offline. How do you create the excitement online that will guarantee you a fabulous date in real life?
It's time to take notes and follow the 5 F's of Getting to a Fabulous First Date. First of all…
1. FIND someone that piques your curiosity. Search through Zoosk Date Cards to see what you have in common behind the smiling faces by viewing "Your Likes" and answering their Icebreakers. Watch your ZooskBox fill up with potential girls that you'd like to get to know better who will be eager to meet you. Then, ramp it up and…
2. FLIRT like crazy. You have to be in to win! Engage in quick fun, and flirty emails and wait for the responses to pour in. Contact women whose Date Cards make you smile and turn up the volume on the flirting techniques. There's over 50 million single Zooskers, so there's plenty of women waiting to hear from you. Make sure to keep it…
3. FUN – Make sure your Icebreakers are filled out on your date card to get started. Send emails about some of the most fun activities that you have experienced to let your personality shine. If you've jumped out of an airplane in a parachute let her know. Camped out in Yosemite? Add it to the list. Win an award for a spelling bee? It can be as simple as this. Don't forget to find the…
4. FACTS – After 3 emails, it's time to dig deeper and find out more about your potential date. Is she allergic to cats? Has she been out of work for a period of time? Still not over her ex? Drinking while driving? It's time to find out what the possible deal breakers could be and dig in and do a little homework. If she passes the test, it's time to put a date on the calendar. Finally, remember to…
5. FOLLOW-THROUGH – The old saying, "The squeaky wheel gets the deal" holds true for online and social dating. Respond quickly to the Zoosk Flirts when you're notified that someone has taken the time to write to you. Waiting a few days may send her the wrong message that you aren't interested. If she's truly a catch, other Zooskers will realize that as well.
Remember to follow the 5 Fs in your first few emails. FIND someone interesting. FLIRT like crazy. Keep it FUN and light. Get the FACTS before you meet. FOLLOW THROUGH before your potential date goes from hot to ice-cold. With these F's in mind, get out there and date, FEARLESSLY.

Hi Jerzlem!
Thank you for your comment. It's easy to get frustrated and lose interest, and no, it's not the 6th F on my list.
By dating different women in a wide range of ages, you will see who you are most comfortable with. Attraction often comes from the inside out, so take the time to get to know someone and go on that extra date. You might be pleasantly surprised at the results.
hi how do i find some romantic dates?
Nice and interesting tips about online dating
Always shop aroud before you buy or make any major decision. Finding a spouce isn't any different that anything else.

- Its a safe product Review by Nettie
Price Value Quality It seems to be working but rather slowly! I had some damage to my skin from trying to remove freckles from my cheeks using laser and it left me with dime size light brown patches..It seems to be working on the right side much better than the left side for some reason..its a slow process with the product but I have seen some improvement..I will probably have to always use it.... It doesnt have the harsh cancer causing agents in it..and well its expensive but it will last a long time because a little goes a long way...its worth the price..I gave it a four because its not overnite nor drastic results..!!
- Using to clear stubborn melasma Review by Angela
Price Value Quality For those of you that have been fortunate enough to not have experienced melasma you should thank your lucky stars as it is one of the most difficult skin issues to clear. I, unfortunatly do know it all too well. It is dark brown splotches caused from horomones from pregnancy, birth control pills and other causes. While there are many products that claim to clear melasma, I have never, ever fully been able to see a full resolve. I have tried many expensive products and many expensive procedures at dermatologists offices. I like that this product is hydroquinone free since that causes cancer. Thank you for creating a safe product. I received several samples and I am amxious to see the end result and I will difinitely follow up here with my results as they transpire.

- Best product for evening out skintone! Review by JYD, Morriston, FL
Price Value Quality I've used Obagi, Renova, Somme, and Ole Henriksen for years to try to even out hyperpigmentation around my jawline. The Ole Henriksen products made a difference, but I've seen more difference from using Immaculate Correction for two weeks than I saw from the Henriksen line in two years. I've even watched normally stubborn hyperigmentation from near-miss zits fade in days!
- Works wonderfully... Review by H.L., Albany, California
Price Value Quality I am in my early twenties, with very oily skin, and I've been dealing with quite a bit of residual acne from my late teens. As a result, I have stubborn acne scars that refuse to go away and hyperpigmentation that's accumulated over the years. I've tried products from Murad, Shiseido, and Philosophy, but nothing's worked like Immaculate Correction. I've only been using this product for a week and every morning, I find myself looking into the mirror at a clearer, more even complexion. My boyfriend has even commented on how bright my skin looks. It's a great, effective, yet gentle product. It is definitely expensive, but well worth the restored self-confidence it provides. I would assume that after achieving your desired results, you may not need to use it continuously...Thus, the product should last longer than your daily-use products. Highly recommended.
- really a miracle Review by Los Angeles, CA
Price Value Quality Your product had help my sun spots to literally disappeared! I was so depressed after just a week vacation in the carribean and developed leopard spots on my hand that I felt like crying- I felt my whole vacation was ruined because of these spots. Your product is really a miracle
- Great moisturizer but that's all Review by KL, Mesa, AZ
Price Value Quality I used this product faithfully until it was gone and the only thing it was good for was as a moisturizer. Nothing else about my skin changed. It's a lot of money to pay for a moisturizer. I would not recommend this to someone looking to clear up blotchy darkened skin patches.
- I think this is really working! Review by st, Sunny California
Price Value Quality I spent a lot of time researching products for melasma. After I read the article on this site (fabulous info there!), I finally decided to try this product. I had been using prescription hydroquinone 4%, but it was really hard for me *not* to get it on my normal colored skin. I've been using Immaculate Correction instead, and I think it is working! I have melasma on my forehead and it is slowly improving. This product cost me the same as the HQ 4% product, but I really like it a lot better.
- Remarkable Review by Happy!, Baltimore, Maryland
Price Value Quality I am 37 years old, and LOVE the sun. While I have been able to keep wrinkles at bay I have been left with an uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation especially on my nose and above my upper lip. After using this product for just a few short weeks I am now able to go without foundation - NO MAKEUP - because my skin has improved so dramatically. Don't let the price scare you. It is worth every penny. And since you don't need to use very much each day you won't need to buy another bottle for a few months.
- I can't believe I'm seeing results already!!! Review by JM, Chicago, IL
Price Value Quality I have been using samples of Immaculate Correction for about a week (along with my usual regime)and I am really noticing some results. I was really shocked to actually see some of brown spots on my fact lightening up after such a short time. Especially when most lightening products say that you should see results after 4-6 weeks. I am definitely going to buy the full version of this product and hopefully I can forego the foundation/concealer in mornings to come.
- a little greasy Review by boston, ma
Price Value Quality it's ok, I have been using it for about one week and I have seen some results.I'wait to see What happens.the downside it leaves your face with a greasy shiney look.

Andrew Bynum's progress reason for renewed optimism for Sixers
PHILADELPHIA — Andrew Bynum doesn't display a wide spectrum of emotion — a landscape of subtle undulations is more like it.
Although he wasn't jumping for joy Monday — that remains a banned activity, per doctor's orders — there was a distinct rise in optimism in the injured center's words as he discussed his ailing knees following 76ers practice at PCOM.
"There's still no timeline," Bynum said of his return to practice or games, "but I know I'll be back. My knees are feeling good."
Bynum has been doing brisk walking on the treadmill, stationary bike riding and resistance training on his knees, which have kept him out of the Sixers' first 35 games. During a recent visit to the doctor he was told that as long as he continued to progress, he wouldn't need a return visit.
"It's all a go," Bynum said.
While the All-Star center hasn't started full-weight running, he said that running and set-shooting — his first basketball activities of any kind since training camp — will be the next step in "the next couple of days."
It's doubtful Bynum will be on the court for the Sixers in January, but his progress has him believing he'll have enough time on the court to make a difference this season. The Sixers limped home from a 2-6 road trip that dropped their record to 15-20, two games behind the Celtics (16-17) for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
The Sixers have been suffering immensely from a lack of low-post presence. They are minus-74 in rebounding differential, and their 18 free-throw attempts per game is second-worst in the NBA.
"I know what kind of a player I am, and that I can come back and play this game effectively," Bynum said. "I see where I can help the team, and that's what I'm going to do. Rebounding clearly is tough for us, and that's something I do very well. And we need to play a little out of the low post to take some pressure off Jrue (Holiday) and Evan (Turner)."
Bynum said even though he has been but a rumor on the court this season, he and Holiday have become close. Holiday is having a stellar season in his fourth year as the Sixers' point guard, but he would prefer to share his team-leadership responsibilities with Bynum. Continued...
"One, I think he's one of the smartest basketball big men I've ever talked to," Holiday said. "Obviously, I think they see the game a lot differently than I do. Coming off screens on offense or on defense, to hear what a (center) thinks ... so I can make a read is big for me.
"I didn't know him that well before, but (getting to know him) has been good for me."
The return from the long road trip and the progress Bynum made seemed to change the climate. Before the Sixers couldn't allow themselves to picture Bynum on the court Monday, the anticipation started to creep into the conversation.
"Defensively, we would have more of a presence with him down there, having someone down there to alter shots," Holiday said of a potential Bynum return. "He can play any big one-on-one. Offensively, he's one of the most skilled big men in the league, so those extra points, extra free throws, the easy buckets would be big ... but you never know until he gets out there."
Even Doug Collins, who has struggled to keep his team in playoff contention, allowed a little optimistic anticipation to seep in Monday.
"Until we see him on the floor, no setbacks, I don't want to start taking my mind to that spot," Collins said. "Would it be great to have him back? Oh yeah. That would be a great gift.
"I'm sensing in him a better energy. I think he feels better about where he's headed right now. I think he's starting to sense that there's a light at the end of the tunnel."
l l l
NOTES: Arnett Moultrie returned to the Sixers Monday after averaging 9.7 points and 6.1 rebounds in seven games with Sioux City in the NBA D-League, including 12 points and 10 boards in his last game Friday. "It was a learning experience," the rookie forward said. "No matter how much extra conditioning I do, that's still not game-ready shape. I just tried to take the opportunity and play hard." ... Collins said Villanova point guard Maalik Wayns, who was released Sunday, was let go for payroll flexibility as the Sixers seek a veteran point guard. "We brought him in here to be a third point guard," Collins said. "But with Royal (Ivey) being hurt we need to see if we can find another guy who has more experience, play pick-and-roll, when Jrue is off the floor. Because we really take a hit (when Holiday is on the bench)." ... Kwame Brown wasn't at practice as he returned home to tend to a personal matter. It's unclear whether the center will be in uniform today when the Sixers host the Nets.

April 17, 2012
Okay just a quick update on outfit post... It's been FREAKING hot lately in town and I wasn't in mood for wearing layered outfit or anything with too many details. The denim bralette top that Auburn & Ginger sent me was one of the most comfortable top to paired my old black pants with, so I wore those separates together and braid-up my hair, trying to get as simple as possible, but still with good presentation. Believe me, sometimes all we need is to be careless yet confident. Whatever we wear will looked great, while when others think it wasn't, we didn't have to care! Once in a while we need to follow what we really want rather than bothering our heart about people's subjective judgment.
P.S. : By the way, join my MAIVE giveaway here - there are still more days to win free clothing from them!
P.S.S : Yes I put on a pair of fake eye-lashes, they did make my eyes looked bigger eh?

Herefordshire Policing Board Praise Work Of Territorial Policing Unit
The Herefordshire Policing Board has praised the work of the Herefordshire Territorial Policing Unit (TPU) following a recent meeting with TPU Commander Superintendent Charlie Hill in Hereford.
At a meeting that took place on Tuesday 15 May, the Board - which is made up of the three Herefordshire members of the West Mercia Police Authority, Paul Deneen (Chair), Councillor Sebastian Bowen and Paul Dunford - received the latest updates on policing locally from Superintendent Hill and then offered their own observations on the work of West Mercia Police in Herefordshire.
Speaking after the meeting, Chair Paul Deneen said: "This was the last meeting of the Herefordshire Policing Board and the report we received from Superintendent Hill was very positive. The updates he was able to give us reflect the hard work being undertaken by officers' right across Herefordshire. In the year ending 31 March 2012, it is pleasing to report that total recorded crime was down by 2% and that the overall detection rate was up by 14%. The detection rate in each of the three individual policing areas was up by 13% in Hereford City and Rural, 19% in North Herefordshire and 13% in South Herefordshire, while overall crime rates were down by 2.8%, 1.2% and 1.4% in each of these areas respectively. One of the most pleasing aspects of Superintendent Hill's report was the news that recorded violent crime was down 3.8% in 2011/12 and that the detection rate for these offences has risen to 56.6%. Equally, it is also worth noting there was less then one house burglary per day in Herefordshire during the year from 1 April 2011 to 31 March 2012 (290 in total) and that in 32% of these cases the offences were detected."
Mr Deneen added: "Local Policing Teams (LPTs) continue to do a first-class job for the communities they serve. Their focus remains on anti-social behaviour and unfortunately many of these issues are related to the misuse of alcohol. Community Support Officers (CSOs) remain a key part of the policing family and the relationships they build up in communities are a vital tool for the police in terms of informal intelligence gathering. Local Policing Teams are also playing a key role in Operation Ignite - the Herefordshire Territorial Policing Unit's (TPU) ongoing operation to tackle rural crime - and they continue to work alongside response and CID officers to address the problems caused by criminals intent on targeting metal theft, plant and farm equipment from isolated locations. In addition, the Herefordshire TPU continues to work closely with partner agencies such as Herefordshire Council and NHS Herefordshire on many projects and this partnership working remains very important. Overall the Herefordshire Policing Board is very encouraged with the work being undertaken by the Herefordshire TPU and I would like to take this opportunity to thank and congratulate Superintendent Hill and his team of Police Officers, Police Community Support Officers, Police Staff and Specials for their work in ensuring that Herefordshire continues to be a safe place to live, work, visit and to study. Finally, I would like to remind local people that if they have any concerns about criminality of any sort in their community, then they should contact West Mercia Police on the non-emergency number 101 as soon as they are able to. Alternatively, please remember when an urgent response is required, the emergency number 999 should be used immediately.

6. | Apron | ||
A woman; a wife; a bartender Hey apron ! Bring me a shot of scotch and a cold beer chaser. I had a hard day at work today !!!
1. | apron | ||
A green lap-cloth that Mormons don during the Temple Ceremony. It should be representative of the apron Adam and Eve put on themselves after they disobeyed God. It is green. Even though God told them to take off their aprons, and He gave them clothing made out of animal skins, Mormons keep "The Apron of Disobedience" on when they go through the Veil into the Celestial Kingdom. A constant reminder through all the eternities, of their primal disobedience against God's word, their fall from grace, and their shame over their own nakedness. Brethren and sisters, put on your aprons.
We are instructed to clothe you in the Robes of the Holy Priesthood. Place the robe on your left shoulder. Place the cap on your head with the bow over the right ear, replace the apron, tie the girdle with the bow on the right side, remove the slippers from your feet, and put them in again as part of the temple clothing. You may now proceed to clothe. |
2. | apron | ||
apron - a sagging, hanging flap of gut often seen in older ladies who have long since lost the weight of their youthful pregnancies, but also their elasticity. The result is a flap of flesh, sometimes slightly hanging over their upper pubic region/ gunt Often a haven of foul body odor. " During her weekly shower, aunt Ruth lifted her apron to wash, and the smell peeled paint off the wall"
3. | apron | ||
The paved portion of a racetrack on the extreme inside. Analogous to a highway shoulder, the apron often flattens out considerably -- a marked transition from the banking of the actual racing grooves. Daring or desperate drivers sometimes use the apron to pass, or to compensate for a tight condition in their racecars and get them to turn. However, the abrupt transition of the apron can also snap a car loose and force a spin.
4. | Apron | ||
The overlapping gut on a morbidly obese person. To be a true apron it must cover no less than 40% of the genitals. The lower the apron, the greater the obesity. Apronage Did you see the apron on that enormo? It was a real knee-banger!
5. | apron | ||
like a superman, but instead of throwing the sheet on the girl's back, you throw it on her chest i came all over her chest, threw the sheet on her and gave her an apron

Adam Larsson & Goons Feature in Recent New Jersey Devils Offseason Signings
The New Jersey Devils made several signings in the past few days. I praise Lou's brilliance in trading Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond and signing Adam Larsson to an ELC without bonuses. I criticize him for then signing two goons in Cam Janssen and Eric Boulton.

Byng —
Odds are pretty good that Ada or Byng will end a long state tournament drought in baseball this spring. Unfortunately, at least one is guaranteed to be at home when the Class 4A State Tournament begins next week.
The Cougars, who haven't played on the final week of the season since they went to the 2007 State Tournament in Class 5A, and the Pirates, who haven't been to the 4A State Tournament since 2006, have achieved their highest season-ending rankings in years, but only one will survive this week's regional tournament at Byng.
Robbie Burch will send his 15th-ranked Ada squad against old rival Madill in the regional opener at 11 a.m. Thursday, then Shawn Streater's second-ranked Pirates — 26-3 and the regional's top seed — will play Broken Bow for the other spot in the 3 p.m. winner's bracket final. The regional championship game will be played at 2 p.m. Friday, with an "if-necessary" game scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday.
While the area's two 4A heavyweights slug it out close to home, Class 2A power Latta will be on the road for the second round of the playoffs. Eddie Collins' fourth-ranked Panthers will travel to Oktaha, where they will be the top seed in a regional that also includes Hominy (Latta's first-round opponent at 1 p.m. Thursday) and No. 12 Warner and No. 16 Oktaha, who will meet in the regional opener at 11 a.m.
"I didn't think we had any respect all year, and maybe we didn't deserve, but (the draw) could have been worse," veteran Latta coach Eddie Collins said. "It's one of those (regionals) that if we just go play we should be all right."
Byng beat Ada, 7-2, in their only meeting so far this spring to stop the Cougars' season-opening seven-game winning streak, and both teams have had their ups and down since then. Despite losing just three times in 29 games, the Pirates struggled a bit in midseason, suffering early-round losses to Tecumseh and Shawnee at the McLoud and Shawnee tournaments, but since the loss to Shawnee they have won 11 games in a row.
"Every season is a rollercoaster, that was one of the little dips in our season," Streater said. "The boys know what's expected of them this week, and I expect them to come ready to play."
Ada, meanwhile, capped another seven-game winning streak with 4-2 victory over Madill on April 13 but had lost three of four before sweeping Dickson in last week's district tournament to improve to 19-6.
"I think we're playing okay," first-year Ada coach Robbie Burch said Tuesday. "We're pitching well and playing good defense. We're going what we need to do to be successful."
While Streater has a proven, veteran rotation in seniors Jake Wellington and Clint Humphers and sophomore Reid Wall, Burch has spent a good portion of the spring searching for complements to ace lefty Jordan Boone. Cody Johnson was shelled early and late in an 8-2 loss to Coalgate at Byng's Hill-Prescott Memorial Tournament two weeks ago, but he was dominant in the middle innings of that game and sandwiched that loss between impressive efforts against Madill and Dickson. Tim Simpson — the team's regular catcher — seems to have moved into the No. 3 spot in the rotation, and Jake Boone, Micah Simmer and Walker Whitworth have all had their moments this spring.
"We've got kids who have come in and given us quality innings through the spring when we've needed them," Burch noted. "In order to get to the state tournament, you have to have more than one pitcher, and we have more than one.
"There have been times when Jordan's command hasn't been as good as it should be, but he gives us a chance to win every time he's on the mound," Burch said. "When Cody has command of his stuff he's going to be good and when he doesn't, he won't, but that's true of anybody."
Wall finished the fall campaign (which ended with Byng as the runner-up to Dale in Class A) as the Pirates' ace, but Wellington has taken over that role with an impressive spring during which he has won seven straight decisions.
"We're healthy and our arms should be ready to go," Streater said. "Hopefully we'll throw strikes and not make errors. The good thing is we get to stay at home (where the Pirates have played just five games this spring because of renovations to Stokes Field through March) and not have to get on an orange bus going somewhere. We've done enough of that this year."
The Cougars and Pirates have both had their ups and downs offensively this spring, but Byng has averaged almost nine runs during its current winning streak, and Ada — which has one of the fastest lineups in all of 4A — outscored Dickson, 18-2, in their two meetings last week.
"Our biggest deal is we've got to get kids into scoring position — if we do that, we can be effective; if we don't, we're not going to score a lot of runs," Burch said. "The last couple of games we did a very good job of getting on base, and lately we've gotten hits when we've needed them, which is encouraging."
Although Byng appears to be the biggest obstacle between his team and the state tournament, Burch said he wants to take things one game at a time.
"We're just focusing on Madill," he said. "We're not even thinking about Byng right now. We've played Madill twice, and they were close ball games both times (8-4 and 4-2, with Ada winning both). They're very athletic, and they're tough, hard-nosed kids. It should be a dogfight.
"I think 4A is probably top to bottom the toughest class there is," he said. "There's a lot of parity. There are teams without a great record who can go out there and beat anybody on a given day. It's a very difficult classification to be in, and I don't know if there's a clear-cut favorite."
As the favorite in the regional, Streater said his focus will be on giving the opposition as little help as possible.
"We want to limit our mistakes and force the other team to make mistakes," he said. "Hopefully we'll be able to do that Thursday."
Latta has played one of the state's toughest small-school schedules again this spring, and the Panthers have stayed in the top four in 2A despite a 15-8 record. They had a dogfight before beating Wayne, 2-0 and 10-0, at last week's district tournament at home, but they will enter the regional with a pitching staff that is on a serious roll.
Over their last five games — against Seminole, Sulphur and Coalgate at the Byng tournament and the two wins over Wayne — Latta ace lefty Taylor Dunnigan and junior right-handers Brandon Mills and Jake Collins have allowed a TOTAL of four runs and 10 hits. Dunnigan and Mills bookended the streak with solid efforts against Seminole (by Dunnigan in a 5-1 win) and Sulphur (by Mills in a 3-1 loss) and capped the streak with back-to-back one-hitters against Wayne Thursday. Collins, meanwhile, pitched five shutout innings in a 10-0 rout of Coalgate in the third-place game at Byng.
"I would feel a lot better if we got more consistent at the plate," Eddie Collins said. "For the most part, we have given ourselves a chance to stay in ball games because of the way we've thrown it. I know this — we can't stop pitching it and catching it. If we do, we're in trouble."
Collins said Mills or son Jake will probably start against Hominy Thursday, with Dunnigan pitching Game 2.
"If we win that first game, I'll probably send Taylor out for the second game," he said. "Other than the Plainview game (when he squandered an early 10-2 lead at the Ardmore Tournament), he's been pretty good all season. He was real good against Seminole, then he wasn't as sharp in the district tournament, but he still pitched a shutout. He's given us about what we expected from a senior. He's given us a chance to win.
"Brandon Mills has thrown it better than his (3-4) record," Collins noted. "He lost to Ardmore (2-1), Washington, Byng and Sulphur. We haven't used Jake as much as we would have liked, but he's looked good when he's been out there."

Interview: Documentary Filmmmaker Charlie Minn
By Vanessa Dabovich
A new documentary premiering in the border region focuses on the past year in the city of Juarez, Mexico. The film analyzes the city's violent image as well as the upcoming 2012 election. In 2011, the murder rate in Juarez, was down 33% from the previous year. While many might consider this is a small victory documentary filmmaker Charlie Minn says it's not. Minn joins us in the studio to talk about his new film "Murder Capital of the World."

I am 28 years old and gave birth to my first baby, a gorgeous baby girl, on 4th August 2012. Before I got pregnant I had recently got married and lost a fair amount of weight. Although still i was overweight. After having my baby my weight ballooned to over 16stone so I have decided to do the Cambridge diet in a bid to lose weight for good and in order to be fit and healthy for my baby girl.
Just before Christmas my husband and I started the Cambridge diet and i lost 6lb in the first week and had other good weight loss.However due to family events and Christmas we decided to restart in the new year an with a new consultant who we both felt we would have more in common with.
So this is the beginning of the end of both my husband and I being overweight. I am looking forward to starting and feel ready to embrace the "suck" of getting through the first few days and sticking with it!! Any support and advice would be well received by both my husband and myself who will both post here regularly to keep a journal of our progress.
I'm 25 and have been overweight for as long as I can remember. Losing weight has always been a "should", but I've now made it a "must".
I lost a stone and a half in two weeks before Christmas, so I'm looking forward to smashing through the tough first few days.
We have a combined 14 stone to lose, which I hope we can do before our daughter's first birthday. As much as we need something drastic to kick start things, I'm also hoping to learn how to eat healthily once I've worked through the Cambridge steps.
Bring on day 1 tomorrow!!

This dish a tapas recipe, I cook regularly at home & with guests on my cooking courses at La Rosilla, using the finest locally produced Morcilla ( Blood Sausage / Black Pudding ) which is hand crafted in my local pueblo Colmenar. I find it is a dish that converts those who think they don't like the sound of Morcilla, after they have tasted the earthy, herby and sweet flavours they always ask for the recipe
Morcilla & Apple with Cana Miel
Morcilla is Spanish black pudding, made locally with herbs and spices, rich but light. This is a
delicious dish, ideal for a tapa or dinner party starter.
1 Morcilla (black pudding)
1 Onion finely sliced
1 tsp Cumin Seeds
1 green apple, peeled and chopped
dash of sherry
Drizzle of Cane honey
Fresh Parsley chopped.
• Pan fry the sliced Onion in a little Olive Oil, till soften and lightly browned.
• Add cumin seeds & fry to release aroma.
• Add apple and saute until lightly browned
• Add Morcilla cut into 1 cm rings, pan fry.
• Add a dash of sherry to deglaze the pan.
• Serve in a terracotta bowl, with chopped parsley, & drizzled with Cane Honey.
To make a more substantial supper dish, add a jar of drained and rinsed chickpeas, after the apple, or even add slivered almonds or toasted pine nuts.
Season to taste.
Take a read of 'Morcilla, love it or hate it' an insight into our life on the mountain.

Thread: disconnect co2 at night?
OK great, cheers, now I need to try and find an air pump that is REALLY quiet (my tank is in my bedroom).
What?? I have been told all plants will benefit from having co2, in fact the guy at the store told me to put the co2 in, take a picture, then a week later take another picture to compare because the difference would be that big. He the Dwarf Sagiteria I have will grow much thicker due to co2 being added.
Was it all sales crap? This guy is well known to us and someone I thought was very trustworthy for info.
BTW something im wondering about using this method for co2 is the PH, I will have to refill the container ever 40 or so days, and as it takes 24 - 48 hours for the co2 to build up surely my PH will be all over the place?Last edited by serbusfish; 02-04-2013 at 02:21 AM.

I'll defer to Lady Hobbs for a more detailed response, but "will benefit from" is different from "needed".
Maybe it's possible the fish guy just didn't know? Give him the benefit of the doubt.
I have a question though, reading these posts. If you have an airstone on during the day with your CO2 operating, will the CO2 still be effective, or will the airstone dissipate it too much?"That which you manifest is before you"Journals Here

02-04-2013, 03:06 AM #14I'll defer to Lady Hobbs for a more detailed response, but "will benefit from" is different from "needed".
And now you are being told differntly: CO2 CAN BE a factor - It is not THE ONLY factor and as mentioned without strong lighting you don't even need additional CO2.
In combo with good lighting & ferts, CO2 can be a tremendous boost. CO2 without good lighting and ferts is not going to be what you are expecting at all.
Good lighting and ferts can get you an amazing tank with a LOT fewer headaches than going with CO2. It's all in how much time you want to spend on maintenance in time and money.
If he suggested CO2 without quizzing you about all aspects of your lighting & ferts regimen, I would suggest that either he is either simply a salesman or doesn't actually understand what he is talking about.
Don't worry about your pH. I also wouldn't take the 40 day thing as carved in stone since you are dealing with some variables.

William, What decade will all that 'hit-n-run crapola spam' be deleted from 'Buy & sell'?
I do dose liquid ferts and I have T5 bulbs.
I guess I will run it til it needs refilling and see if it improves my plants growth/looks, if as you say the PH changes are safe for my fish I guess I dont have anything to lose.
Im probably going to have to add a air pump though, im paranoid of waking up one morning to find all my fish deadJuwel Rio 125

Here's my opinion. I dont think you need to do anything. There are lots of people who run pressurized CO2 using a Ph controller. The CO2 runs 24/7 and the controller determines the amount of CO2. It doesnt out gas at night because the controller keeps the CO2 level constant. If it doesnt bother them, it shouldnt bother you.
I realize you dont have the same level of control with a DIY system so I would just watch the fish and see how they react. If they're all at the top of the tank gasping in the morning, then you obviously are running too much CO2. But if they dont seem to mind it, then let things be.
Also, all plants can benefit from CO2 no matter what the lighting level is. If you're running high/med light, then CO2 becomes more of a necessity than if you have low light but that doesnt mean it has no effect in a low light tank. If you're having to fertilize, then I'd say some sort of CO2, whether liquid or DIY or pressurized would have some sort of benefit to the plants.
I diffuse my CO2 using a Duetto in tank filter. It runs on the same timer as my lights. So, when the lights are off, the Duetto is also off, meaning the CO2 isn't getting "chopped up" and more easily escapes out the surface of the tank.
"The Dumpster Tank" 26g flat back hex - Betta albimarginata, corydoras, checker barbs, pork chop rasbora
"Nano Fish Tank" 20g long - Celestial Pearl Danios, microrasboras, Corydoras habrosus
"Mbuna Tank" 75g - Ps. saulosi, I. sprengerae, M. pulpican, M. joanjohnsonae
"Time Out Tank" 29g - dominant male Cynotilapia sp. "hara"
Well its been 4 days since setting up the co2 unit and it doesnt seem to be causing a problem for my fish at night, no gasping or any behavior out of the ordinary. So I was wondering how many plants I can have in my tank before it does become a problem? Here is my tank atm:
The red outlined are fake, the rest are real, generally how many more can I expect to get away with before co2 causes problems for my fish? I want to at least replace the red plant at the back as it doesnt really blend well with the live plants around it (IMO).Juwel Rio 125

Plants canNOT use Co2 at night; plants use oxygen when the lights are off. So, besides being a 100% waste of CO2 in your cylinder, it does stress the fish even if they appear ok. Consider a timer to control the CO2 flow control.

We did a project for Fatigue and Performance assessment of Modular Bridge Expansion Joint (MBJS) according to requirements of American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and NCHRP 402,467 (National Cooperative Highway Research Program) guidelines. The test was witnessed by customer and related parties; Kuwait Municipality, MPW, Louise Berger Group Inc (consultant) and China Harbour Engineering Company.
The MBJS is placed in bridge decks to accommodate relative movement between superstructure segments of the bridges and movement between superstructures as a result of daily thermal expansion and contraction and earthquake. The MBJS is required to satisfy two groups of physical test; Fatigue and Performance. While fatigue test is aimed to assess the fatigue category of each detail in the MBJS, the performance test is aimed to assess the function of the MBJS throughout the required service lifetime. The OMV test is a test to evaluate the ability of the MBJS to withstand the repeated movement of the bridge superstructure while being subjected to a simulated traffic load due to daily thermal expansion and contraction of the superstructure. The test is performed by opening and closing the expansion joint with an actuator while traffic loads are simultaneously simulated by attaching a powerful pneumatic vibrator to one of the center beams. This test was specific to the evaluation of the performance and function of the specimen to be equivalent to approximately 75 years of service. The SPO test is a test to evaluate the seal resistance to detachment and rate effectiveness of the seal to resist vertical load. This test is to be performed after OMV test. In addition, water tightness is another necessary function of the MBJS which is required to be performed during OMV after 25 years equivalent.
