Middle school English teacher Laurie Miller Hornik is the author of two books that, not surprisingly, focus on school: Zoo School and The Secrets of Ms. Snickle's Class. A humorous story about third graders and an unconventional teacher, The Secrets of Ms. Snickle's Class focuses on freedom and trust. Although class rules specifically state that secrets must not be revealed, one student, Lacey, is determined to rock the boat. Using the Internet, as well as more devious means, Lacey uncovers all her classmate's hidden truths, but when she delves into her teacher's life she learns that sometimes keeping things secret is for the best. Noting that Ms. Snickle is "a wacky combination of Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and Ms. Frizzle," teacher character from other popular children's books, School Library Journal contributor Terrie Dorio called The Secrets of Ms. Snickle's Class "an amusing read."
In Zoo School Ursula, Drake, and three other single-minded students enroll in an eccentric new school where, instead of books and tests, they learn from zookeepers who help them study the animals around them. Besides, they're really not sure who is in charge, because the principal, Ms. Font, never seems to be around. While the five classmates, who were chosen for the new school due to their own personality quirks, at first miss the structure of a normal school, they reconsider when school inspectors visit the school one day, and then shut it down the next. Joining forces in an effort to get Zoo School reopened, the children learn a valuable lesson in the process. "Hornik's characters are amusingly eccentric, and children will enjoy the idea of a classroom filled with animals," commented Kay Weisman in Booklist, while Jean Gaffney wrote in School Library Journal that Zoo School is "humorous" and "evenly paced." Gaffney went on to note that Hornik's "characters are clearly developed" in a novel that is "evenly paced," while a Publishers Weekly reviewer dubbed the book a "silly caper."

VIDEO: Innovation has shaped the last two decades
What are the top 10 innovations in the last 20 years in the marine industry?
We asked a half dozen of the leading designers, builders and safety experts. GPS-generated electronic navigation, joystick helm control and computer-aided design stand out as the top three. The innovations fall under four categories: electronics, boat design and construction, safety and propulsion. New ideas, methods and products have made boating easier for consumers and boatbuilding more efficient and less time-consuming.
Click play to watch.
The development of the 4-stroke outboard and cleaner, more efficient diesel engines, the increased use of resin-infused composite construction, the EPIRB and inflatable PFDs also rank high on the list. Surprises? Gyroscope stabilization.
"With every boat we draw now we have to have a planned space for [a gyroscope]," said Michael Peters, president of Michael Peters Yacht Design in Sarasota, Fla. "Five years ago we didn't even think about this. It's a huge development."
We delve deep into these developments in the next issue of Trade Only.

Meh. If papa wanted the identity to stick, he would have told something to nergal about keeping the picture private.
Damn, ghost and behemoth on one bill. Must have been pretty cool.
Meh. If papa wanted the identity to stick, he would have told something to nergal about keeping the picture private.
Damn, ghost and behemoth on one bill. Must have been pretty cool.
Having a hard time deciding whether I should post this here or in the "random stupidity" thread...
I'll leave this here for now...
so it looks like Ghost have recruited a "new" singer for album number 3 and new single will be out in June!
Interestingly the album's producer is Klas Åhlund from the Teddybears who usually produces pop stuff. Cannot wait!
lol wonder what papa 3 will look like... i quite liked the john waters/anton lavey incarnation
After awhile, the second album grew won me to where I like these guys now more than I did previously. So there's going to be a new vocalist? I'm sure it'll sound similar.
Its an inside joke. It will still be the same guy under the mask.
they say Papa III is Papa II's younger brother by 3 months... lol
new album out August 21st!
Titled "Meliora" with first single "Circle" out by June
Fuck yesssssssssssssssssssss!
Here is a Ghost ad that was spotted on TV that teases some interesting changes from the band coming soon.
The quality is not the greatest, since it is taped directly off the TV using a camera or phone, but you get the idea.
I laughed when she said "3 months younger"
Damn I can't wait!
01. Spirit
02. From The Pinnacle To The Pit
03. Cirice
04. Spöksonat
05. He Is
06. Mummy Dust
07. Majesty
08. Devil Church
09. Absolution
10. Deus In Absentia
so looks like the first single is Cirice, and not Circle as earlier reported
Cirice! Hail Papa \m/

what a band, so excited for this record!
What a fantastic track! This may be my most anticipated album of the rest of the year now. Especially after already hearing Lindemann's first single, yuck. Ghost takes the award for album of the year, I can feel it now!
Looking forward to seeing these guys live again as well. Hopefully we get some tour dates once the album drops.
Refused and Ghost in the same year, never would have dreamt of this. The only Swedish bands I kinda listen to hah!
Awesome song. Not sure if I missed it, but is the artwork an intentional reference to Silence of the Lambs, or was the Silence of the Lambs cover created off of some satanic symbolism?
Their first and second album covers are based off of movie posters, the first being Salem's Lot and the second being Amadeus. They didn't keep up the trend with the third album, but the single cover for this song does.
Cirice is excellent. Also, spöksonat translates to ghost sonnet.
Oh, since no one mentioned it. The new single, Cirice, is for free download on their official website.
I like the song. As said some time ago, they've grown on me.
Really like the Silence of the Lambs cover. Cirice is very good. I wasn't too sure about it the first listen but it's growing on me. Kind of the same way Secular Haze did, which means in a week I'll love it.
Thought this was interesting.
Fuck, how good is the riffage in Cirice?
Papa III?!
he looks very much like this older brother....
saw this on the Metallica forum, Papa II passing the reigns to Papa III haha!

Learning how to swim can be both easy and difficult for adults. While adults are able to grasp certain concepts better than children, they are often plagued with low-confidence and uncertainty. Their fears of what they may look like in a swimsuit, or how silly they might look while learning how to swim, may hold them back and prevent them from giving their best shot. The key to overcoming this is learning the basics of swimming, developing confidence, and becoming comfortable in the water.
Getting the Right Gear
1Get a proper bathing suit. Find a suit that is comfortable, fits well, and that you can move in. It shouldn't fall off if you jump in the pool. Leave the embellished bikinis and baggy swim trunks for the beach or pool; you need something that is streamlined and easy to move in.
- Be extra cautious about the color white. Depending on the lining, it can be see through when wet.
2Put a swim cap on. Not only will it protect your hair against the chlorine, but it will also make your body more streamlined and reduce water tension. If you have long hair, be sure to tie it up first, and then tuck it under the cap.
- Some swim caps contain latex. If you are allergic to latex, read the label, and make sure that you purchase a latex-free swim cap.
3Buy good goggles that will not leak. Nothing ruins a swim faster than water in the eyes. Get goggles that fit over your eyes, and make sure that they are comfortable. Never get ones that cover the nose and mouth. If possible, try the goggles on in the store before purchasing– if not, be sure to get goggles with an adjustable nose bridge. This will ensure a proper fit. If you normally require glasses to see, you may want to consider prescription swim goggles, which are not much more expensive than normal goggles. You'll be able to see your instructor clearly, and they can make your swimming experience more enjoyable.
- Some contain latex. If you are allergic to latex, be sure to check the packaging before you buy anything first; it will tell you whether or not it contains latex.
4Consider getting some other swimming supplies. Many people find that items, like pool noodles, kickboards, and flippers help them with various aspects of swimming. If your swim teacher recommends these items, then you might want to consider buying them as well.
- You can also purchase nose plugs and ear plugs to prevent water from getting into your nose and ear.
- If you are swimming in an outdoor pool, be sure to get sunscreen.
Learning to Breathe
1Get comfortable with putting your face in the water. Make sure your goggles are on. At this point, you may need to adjust the goggles by tugging on the straps so that they don't leak.
- If you don't feel comfortable getting into the pool yet, you can practice this part in a bowl of warm water. The bowl should be twice the size of your face.[1] X Research source
2Practice inhaling and exhaling. Take a deep breath through your mouth first, then place your face into the water. Exhale slowly through your mouth, just enough to keep water from entering your mouth.
- Some swimmers like to exhale through both their nose and mouth. If you find this to be more comfortable for you, then you should do it.
- Some swimmers find that wearing a nose plug helps them exhale better underwater.
3Keep your exhaling slow. You should take twice as much time to exhale as to inhale. If you find this difficult to keep track of, try timing your exhalation to the count of ten.
4Relax while lifting your mouth out of the water to breathe and having your face in the water. You will likely get water in your mouth at some point while you are underwater. While this may feel uncomfortable, it is not a near-death experience. It happens to a lot of people, especially when they are first learning how to swim.
- One way to reduce swallowing water is to position your tongue as though saying "Keh."
5Remember to keep your focus on the bottom of the pool. Even though you are not swimming yet, this is a good practice to get into. It will help keep your body straight and aligned. If you keep your head out of the water, your body will be tilted upwards, and create more drag and resistance. It will make it harder to swim.[2] X Research source
- If your pool has those black lanes, use those as a focal point.
Gaining Confidence in the Water
1Get in the water, and move your arms sideways and up-and-down. You'll feel the pressure of the water resisting you, and you may even find it shifting your body around. Moving your arms sideways will cause your body to turn. Pushing downward will cause your body to move upward. moves your body up. Moving your arms backward will tilt your body forward.
- You can do this standing or sitting, but you should be in the water up to your shoulders.
- This is sometimes referred to as "sculling."
2Move into slightly deeper water, where you can still stand. Make sure that your head is out of the water.
3Hold on to the wall and start bobbing up and down. Use your feet to push off of the pool's floor, and remember to breathe out through your mouth.
4When ready, bob and release your hands from the wall. Push off the bottom with your feet to come up and grab the wall. Scull and kick while coming up.
5Keep doing this until you feel comfortable being in the water without holding onto the pool's edge. If you want, you can even step away further from the pool's edge. Remember to go no deeper than where you can still stand. This way, if your confidence fails, all you have to do is stand up.
6Play in the water until you feel comfortable and relaxed. Become accustomed to having your face in the water and your body stretched out. Try to reduce your dependence on using a flotation device and being afraid of going underwater. You can even swim a little underwater before coming up. Your primary reaction in the water must be to stretch out on the surface, scull, kick, breathe and relax.
- Don't get discouraged if you accidentally swallow some water. It happens to everyone, even experienced swimmers.
Learning to Float and Move
1Get into the habit of keeping your body straight, like a needle on water. If your hips are lower than your shoulders, your body will tip upwards, and you won't be able to stay afloat. You can practice this by trying to balance on a bed, bench, or chair.
2Try floating on your back first. Try to keep your body as straight as possible, with the back of your head between your shoulder blades. Move arms to your side and wave your hands, palms down, away from the hips. This will help you stay afloat and move around.
- Back floating is one of the easiest ways to learn how to float.
- If you are having trouble with this, get someone who is experienced in swimming to help you get into position.
3Roll your body slightly side to side and turn your head to the side to breathe. Face down to exhale, then turn over onto your chest and stomach. This is the body position for most swimming styles, including freestyle and breaststroke.
4Practice your arm strokes. You can do this in the water, or on a bench/chair. Move your arm behind your head, over your head, and out in front of you in a circular motion.
5Practice your flutter kicks. Hold onto the side of the pool, a pool noodle, or a kickboard, and gently kick your legs in a soft, flutter-like motion. Try to keep your toes pointed, and your legs as straight as possible. Don't kick from your knees or kick too hard, as this will create too much drag and slow you down.[3] X Research source
- This is the basic kick for swimming, be it on the back or face down.
- Your kicks should be low effort. Harder kicks won't necessarily make you go faster.
- You can also practice your kicks while balancing upon a bench.
6Hold a kickboard or noodle, stretch out with your chin in the water, and kick. Go for 5 to 10 yards (4.6 to 9.1 m) while dipping face in the water to exhale. Do a few laps like this until you get comfortable. You can go the first length keeping your face out of the water, but try to work your way up to where you can swim with your face under the water. This way, you will be able to practice breathing. You may also find it easier to swim![4] X Research source
- Start practicing in shallower waters until you feel comfortable, then you can move on to deeper waters.
- Once you feel confident, try it without the kickboard, and add the arm movements.
7Use a water exercise or flotation belt around the waist while improving your skills. It is a great form of exercise to use after you learn to swim. This can be done while treading with the belt on.
- You can also wear swimming fins while practicing your kicks. Don't wear them all the time, however, especially for warm-up and warm-down exercises.[5] X Research source
8Remember to stay safe at all times. Learning how to swim is not a competition; save that for when you are more experienced. Don't force yourself to move into deeper waters if you don't feel comfortable at your current depth. If you feel tired, take a break, and get out of the deep end.
- Everyone started with the basics, so don't feel discouraged by the experienced swimmers around you. They will not think less of you or make fun of you. After all, they were in your position at one point too.
Community Q&A
QuestionI'm not able to do a full length in the swimming pool with the breathe-in, breathe-out freestyle. What should I do?Community AnswerI have the same problem and I find it easier to relax and move my arms slower and kick faster. My instructor told me that I could breathe out as much as I can in the water and when I come up I can take as long of a breath out of the water as I wish while still kicking. That method has helped me.
QuestionI am not able to breathe in between strokes. When I lift my head up, my legs are going down. This makes me fumble. I am 60 years old. What can I do?Community AnswerTry turning your head to the side instead of lifting it straight up. The movement of lifting your head up instead of turning it to the side is what forces your legs down. In freestyle, try to think of your spine as a pivot point. All of your motions need to rotate around your spine. By rolling your body to the side as you reach your hand forward to continue the stroke, you should be able to turn your head for some air while keeping your body parallel to the bottom of the pool.
QuestionCan I learn to swim as an adult who is in good shape?Community AnswerIt is never too late to learn how to swim. It just takes a lot of practice, but once you get the hang of it, it will be really fun! Swimming is a very important skill for both fitness and survival. I've seen people who are middle aged that still are learning how to swim.

About This Article
To prepare for your first adult swim lessons, buy a well-fitting bathing suit that is easy to move around in, and a good pair of goggles to keep water out of your eyes. Then, put on a swim cap to protect your hair from the chlorine and start acclimating yourself to the water. If you aren't sure how to get started, practice learning to breathe in the water. To do so, take a deep breath through your mouth, go underwater, and exhale slowly for at least 10 seconds. Resurface, take a deep breath, and repeat! Once you're comfortable breathing in water, move to slightly deeper water, but make sure you can still touch the ground. There, practice moving your arms up-and-down, which will control how far up or down you go in the water. You can also practice bobbing up and down and kicking with your feet until you feel comfortable in a pool without holding on to the edges. Keep reading to learn how to float!
Reader Success Stories
"I read the article once, kept it my mind and then jumped into the swimming pool. I practiced some theories. I could float already but still holding the swimming pool wall. Not bad at all. Thank you so much. Thumbs up."..." more

On June 27, the Church honors the Memory of St. Cyril of Alexandria, best known for his role at the Council of Ephesus in AD 431 defending the traditional title of the Virgin Mary as Theotokos, translated "God-bearer" or Mother of God. Note how he argues his case – the exact word "Theotokos" is not used in the New Testament, but the meaning is there. Then he has recourse to one of the earlier Fathers of the Church, Athanasius, who explicitly uses this title. This illustrates the importance of the authority of the Fathers of the Church in resolving disputes and answering questions not explicitly answered in Scripture.
That anyone could doubt the right of the holy Virgin to be called the Mother of God fills me with astonishment. Surely she must be the Mother of God if our Lord Jesus Christ is God, and she gave birth to him! Our Lord's disciples may not have used those exact words, but they delivered to us the belief those words enshrine, and this has also been taught us by the holy fathers.
In the third book of his work on the holy and consubstantial Trinity, our father Athanasius, of glorious memory, several times refers to the holy Virgin as "Mother of God" [Theotokos]. I cannot resist quoting his own words: "As I have often told you, the distinctive mark of holy Scripture is that it was written to make a twofold declaration concerning our Savior; namely, that he is and has always been God, and that for our sake in these latter days he took flesh from the Virgin Mary, Mother of God, and became man."
Again further on he says: "There have been many holy men, free from all sin. Jeremiah was sanctified in his mother's womb [Jer. 1:5], and John while still in the womb leaped for joy at the voice of Mary, the Mother of God." Athanasius is a man we can trust, one who deserves our complete confidence, for he taught nothing contrary to the sacred books.
The divinely inspired Scriptures affirm that the Word of God was made flesh, that is to say, he was united to a human body endowed with a rational soul. He undertook to help the descendants of Abraham, fashioning a body for himself from a woman and sharing our flesh and blood, to enable us to see in him not only God, but also, by reason of this union, a man like ourselves.
It is held, therefore, that there are in Emmanuel two entities, divinity and humanity. Yet our Lord Jesus Christ is nonetheless one, the one true Son, both God and man; not a deified man on the same footing as those who share the divine nature by grace, but true God who for our sake appeared in human form. We are assured of this by Saint Paul's declaration: When the fullness of time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law and to enable us to be adopted as sons.
the bishop Cyril courageously taught
that Mary was the Mother of God.
May we who cherish this belief
receive salvation through the incarnation of Christ your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

This statement by St. Cyril of Alexandria (Pist. 1: PG 77, 14-18, 27-30) strongly defends the divine motherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Theotokos or God-bearer. It appears in the Roman Catholic office of readings for the liturgical memorial of St. Cyril of Alexandria on June 27th.
St. Cyril of Alexandria was born in AD 370, was ordained a priest, and lived a monastic life until he succeeded his uncle as patriarch archbishop of Alexandria, Egypt in 412. In 431 he presided over the Ecumenical Council of Ephesus which opposed the teaching of Nestorius and defined the inseparable unity of the divine and human natures of Christ, and thus the appropriateness of invoking the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of "Theotokos" or Mother of God. He died in 444 and is revered by Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and Coptic churches as one of the greatest of the Fathers of the Church. Roman Catholics also recognize him as a Doctor of the Church.

As for the collection itself, it's a mix of Kenzo old and Kenzo new. "The idea is to celebrate where Kenzo Takada began and where we've taken it—not only the archive of what he did but what we've worked on," Leon continued. "We're taking a look at how the two can merge in a true conversation."

World's 26 richest own same as poorest half of humanity: Oxfam
The world's 26 richest people now own the same wealth as the poorest half of humanity, Oxfam said Monday, warning that "out of control" inequality is stoking popular anger and threatening democracies.
"We are seeing rich people running away with wealth and poor people sinking in poverty," Oxfam executive director Winnie Byanyima told AFP in an interview.
A new report from the charity was published ahead of the World Economic Forum in Davos—a week-long meeting of the global elite, with three of the 26 richest people set to attend.
The report found that billionaires around the world saw their combined fortunes grow by $2.5 billion (2.2 billion euros) each day in 2018, an annual increase of 12 percent, and urged governments to slap more taxes on the wealthy.
The world's richest man, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, saw his fortune increase to $112 billion last year, Oxfam said, pointing out that just one percent of his wealth was the equivalent to the entire health budget of Ethiopia, a country of 105 million people.
"Oxfam is saying in this report with evidence that extreme inequality is out of control," Byanyima said.
The 3.8 billion people at the bottom of the scale meanwhile saw their relative wealth decline by $500 million each day, or 11 percent last year, Oxfam said, stressing that the growing gap between rich and poor was undermining the fight against poverty, damaging economies and fuelling public anger.
'Angry and frustrated'
"Citizens are angry and frustrated," Byanyima said.
"They are seeing themselves working really hard, but they are seeing that... the things that they expect, a good education for their children, health when they fall ill, social protection when they get older... aren't there for them."
At the same time, she said, "they are seeing a few people running away with wealth and without paying their fair share."
The numbers are stark: Between 1980 and 2016, the poorest half of humanity pocketed just 12 cents on each dollar of global income growth, compared with the 27 cents captured by the top one percent, the report found.
Oxfam warned that governments were exacerbating inequality by underfunding public services like healthcare and education at the same time as they consistently under-tax the wealthy.
Calls for hiking taxes on the wealthy have multiplied amid growing popular outrage in a number of countries over swelling inequality.
In the United States, new congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made headlines earlier this month by proposing to tax the ultra-rich up to 70 percent.
The self-described Democratic Socialist's proposal came after President Donald Trump's sweeping tax reforms cut the top income rate last year from 39.6 percent to 37 percent.
In Europe, the "yellow vest" movement that has been rocking France with anti-government protests since November is demanding that President Emmanuel Macron repeal controversial cuts to wealth taxes on high earners.
And in Britain, a populist campaign helped persuade a majority of voters to opt for quitting the European Union in the country's 2016 referendum on Brexit.
"The super-rich and corporations are paying lower rates of tax than they have in decades," the Oxfam report said, pointing out that "the human costs—children without teachers, clinics without medicines –- are huge".
'Inequality undermining democracy'
Byanyima lamented that governments faced with growing public anger are taking dangerous shortcuts.
"Instead of solving the problem by fixing the economies, making them work for most people, (they) are finding distractions," she said, pointing to scapegoating of immigrants and other outsiders for social ills.
"Inequality is undermining democracy," she said, warning that "politics (have become) poisonous."
The Oxfam report said "piecemeal private services punish poor people and privileged elites," stressing that every day, some 10,000 people die due to lacking access to affordable healthcare.
The report, released as the world's rich, famous and influential began arriving for the annual gathering at the luxury Swiss ski resort town, urged governments to "stop the race to the bottom" in taxing rich individuals and big corporations.
Oxfam found that asking the richest to pay just 0.5 percent extra tax on their wealth "could raise more money than it would cost to educate all 262 million children out of school and provide healthcare that would save the lives of 3.3 million people".

Dear readers, I wish to draw your attention to the real brutality that is taking place on a daily basis that the vile media is silent about. The daily mass murder being conducted against innocent babies. Babies being torn apart, butchered with brutal savagery. This, the lying, vile media does not want you hear about. Today: babies have been butchered, there has been a massacre. The media does not want you to know that babies are torn apart; their brains vacuumed out etc.
You will also notice, dear readers how the same vile media immediately place the Planned Parenthood incident (a Manchurian Candidate?) on their headlines: yet, they remain silent on the innumerable videos documenting brutal child butchery that would make a Nazi blush. These videos are deemed "controversial" because they show the truth about abortion.
The vile media speaks about "unknown casualties" at the abortion mill incident. Dear readers, there are casualties: millions. Millions upon millions of dead, butchered babies.

Becoming a rabbit owner can be fun and relaxing. But on the other hand its challenging because bunnies are delicate animals.
Click here for a complete guide to raising rabbits…
But if you know very well what you are doing then you will be a happy owner. If you are new to raising rabbits then its recommended that you learn all you can in raising these creatures. Once you learn about rearing bunnies then you will be prepared for what is in front of you.
Rabbits are high maintenance animals which need a lot of attention plus affection. Although they are cuty creatures that you might think are not harmful, in actual fact they may hurt you if you handle them in a way they don't like. Their back legs are very strong and they use them to beat you off. So before you make the decision in raising bunnies they are some things that you may want to learn.
– There are different sizes of rabbits. They are little bunnies that can be kept in small houses and are not good for producing meat. Then they are the bigger ones that require a lot of space to live in. These are the rabbits that are kept for meat production and reproduction.
– When it comes to feeding rabbits you need to understand that they are vegetarians, so you can't feed them meat. You should feed them chewy vegetables like carrots and cabbages. You can also give them rabbit pellets since they have a lot of nutrients which will help them grow more powerful and healthier. A supplementary diet of hay or alfalfa may be provided to them as well.
– You must decide if you wish to keep indoor or outdoor rabbits. If you want to keep outdoor rabbits then you must ensure you offer protection for them. You must build them shelter and a safety fence. Rabbit houses must be made from metal cages or wood cases because bunnies may eat on the wood.
Raising bunnies is not the easiest thing to do but at the same time its not that difficult. Just care for them by giving them good housing, feeding them right and also some bit of cuddling.

The wait is finally over for one of Major League Baseball's best free agents available as Jake Arrieta has agreed to sign with the Philadelphia Phillies, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today.
The National League East just became a lot more interesting with this signing, as the Phillies will now have their rotation led by the 2015 National League Cy Young Award winner. Arrieta becomes Philadelphia's fourth big offseason acquisition along with Pat Neshek, Tommy Hunter, and Carlos Santana. It is clear that the Phillies are planning to make a legitimate run at the National League East division crown.
Arrieta, 32, is coming off a 2017 campaign that saw his performance dip from the elite level it had been at the previous two seasons. He went 14-10 with a 3.53 ERA in 168.1 innings pitched. Arrieta also struggled with his command last season as he recorded 14 wild pitches, the second-highest number of his career next to the 16 wild pitcheshe threw in 2016.
Another concern surrounding Arrieta is the fact that his average velocity also took a dip in 2017. He went from throwing consistently in the high 90's to hovering more around the low-to-mid 90's last season, according to FanGraphs. Despite all of that, however, there is no denying that the signing of Jake Arrieta will immediately elevate the Phillies within their division.
His postseason experience will be invaluable to a young, up-and-coming team looking to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2011. Arrieta will be anchoring a young Phillies rotation that consists of promising talents such as Aaron Nola, Jerad Eickhoff, and Vince Velasquez.
The addition of Arrieta will give the Phillies a strong chance to contend in the upcoming 2018 season, especially considering the current landscape of the NL East division. The Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins are in the midst of massive rebuilds, and the New York Mets are a fringe team at best. The door is open for the Phillies to go toe-to-toe with the Washington Nationals, the perennial favorites in that division. Should Arrieta return to his 2015 or 2016 form then the he will undoubtedly become the biggest steal of the offseason.

Class I/II affix
PHONOLOGY/MORPHOLOGY: classification of (English) affixes. Class I and Class II
affixes can be distinguished in terms of their different phonological and morphological
EXAMPLE: the English Class I affixes can cause stress shift
prodúctive-productívity), while their class II counterparts
are stress neutral (párent-párenthood,
prodúctive-prodúctiveness). Furthermore, class I affixes may appear inside
class II affixes, but not vice versa (*hopefulity). This generalization is
usually referred to as the
Affix Ordering Generalization.
The distinction between Class I and Class II affixes is equivalent to that between formative-boundary and word-boundary affixes (Chomsky & Halle, 1968), Level I and Level II affixes (Pesetsky 1979, Kiparsky 1982), and Stratum I and Stratum II affixes (Halle & Vergnaud 1987).

According to British computer scientist Sir Tim Berners-Lee, who is credited with inventing the Internet back in 1989, the modern Web is at a crucial tipping point. We've reached a point, he says, in which huge corporations fail to respect our personal data and online privacy, governments can no longer be counted on to provide affordable and accessible Internet to everyone, and citizens no longer are interested in building online communities that promote civil discourse. In order to deliver a better Internet, his nonprofit World Wide Web Foundation has created a new Contract for the Web that includes 9 core principles.
How the Contract for the Web will create a better Internet
The concept for the Contract for the Web first started gaining momentum in 2018, when Tim Berners-Lee gave a speech at the Web Summit in Europe, in which he warned of a "digital dystopia" brought on by corporations, governments and citizens failing in their duty to make the web a positive place. With the Facebook Cambridge Analytica scandal making headlines at the time, it seemed like something had fundamentally changed online – the very companies that we were trusting with our personal data were actually abusing it. Tim Berners-Lee also warned that 2019 would become a major tipping point for the Internet, because in May 2019 half of the world's population would be online. As Tim Berners-Lee sees it, the Contract for the Web will act as a sort of "blueprint" to safeguard the web as a force for good going forward.
Currently, more than 150 organizations and companies – including Facebook and Google, as well as nonprofits like the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) – have signed up as supporters of the Contract for the Web, which outlines a set of principles designed to fix the Internet and protect people. Supporters all say that they want a better Internet, and they have pledged themselves to help follow through on the 9 key principles and 76 different clauses contained within the Contract for the Web. As Tim Berners-Lee has pointed out, this is not a "10-year plan" – this is an immediate course of action that has to be taken in order to fix the web and create a better Internet.
Erich Kron, Security Awareness Advocate at KnowBe4, comments on the need for this new Contract for the Web: "Like the highways we drive on, there are rules and regulations. However, the information superhighway that we all call the Internet does not have a similar set of rules or regulations. Using the Internet, like any tool, has to be used correctly or it ruins people, corporations or governments. In recent years, the Internet has become a tool to help people find each other, deliver education, and increase productivity. However, its use is unmanaged and only regulated by company policies or a few countries with their own privacy requirements. Other organizations are making similar statements to work together and implement guidance on how the Internet should be used."
Nine key principles
Importantly, the Contract for the Web recognizes that three major groups of stakeholders – corporations, governments and individuals – need to play a role in creating a better Internet. As a result, the Contract for the Web lays out three core principles for each of these stakeholders.
Government, for example, must ensure that everyone can connect to the Internet. In the modern digital era, access to the Internet is a fundamental right for all citizens. Moreover, government must keep the entire Internet available, all of the time. This means that governments cannot create the equivalent of an "Internet kill switch" to shut down the Internet at certain times, such as when anti-government protesters are in the streets. Finally, governments must respect online privacy and the personal data rights of its citizens.
For their part, corporations must make Internet access affordable and accessible to everyone. This has special meaning for Internet Service Providers (ISPs), which should offer special pricing for the least-advantaged members of society. It also echoes the basic concepts around Net Neutrality, which suggests that corporations should not be able to "throttle" the Internet connections of some users or block certain content. In addition, corporations should respect and protect people's privacy and personal data. This principle is clearly a reference to the big Silicon Valley tech giants, which have a poor track record of respecting people's privacy online.
And, finally, the Contract for the Web spells out the obligations of individual citizens. They have a duty to be creators and collaborators on the web, and to build strong communities that respect civil discourse and human dignity. They also have a responsibility to "fight for the web" and hold both corporations and governments accountable for their actions. If the current situation is to improve and a better Internet to emerge, then everyday users must become more proactive in how they use the web and how they safeguard their fundamental human rights.
Is the Contract for the Web really workable?
In many ways, the Contract for the Web precisely targets and singles out what is wrong with the modern Internet. However, it is not binding at all, in the way that legislation or regulations are. The World Wide Web Foundation has promised to provide a follow-up on how it plans to keep companies and governments accountable, as well as a summary of what would happen if one of the charter supporters of the Contract for the Web starts to act in a way that will not lead to a better Internet.
Another controversial aspect of the Contract for the Web is the involvement of big Silicon Valley tech giants like Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Twitter (but not Amazon). On one hand, the involvement of these companies is needed to craft a vision for a better Internet, simply due to their power, influence and global reach. However, on the other hand, how can any major changes really take place to the structure or architecture of the web if the very players that have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo are part of this Contract? It will literally require a "revolution from within" for a better Internet to appear.
Key issues for the Contract for the Web to resolve
In various speeches and interviews, both Tim Berners-Lee and key officials from the World Wide Web Foundation have mentioned some of the most important issues that the Contract for the Web must resolve. These include political ads, the potential need to break up monopolistic tech giants, and the rash of data and privacy scandals over the past two years. In addition, they have mentioned the need for a way to track progress and hold people accountable. Doing so will be the only way to ensure that the next 30 years of the Internet are just as dynamic, innovative and positive as the first 30 years of the Internet. A better Internet starts today, with corporations, governments and individuals all playing a role.

Low-priced stocks can be very attractive to investors. The ability to purchase thousands of shares for relatively cheap sometimes gives the illusion that these cheap stocks may be better than more expensive ones.
But, that's not exactly the case. Cheaper stocks tend to be significantly more volatile, with their low volumes and small market cap. On the flip side, stocks that trade for under $5 a share can also produce explosive returns. Like many things, higher risk can grant higher rewards.
With that being said, here are some of the best stocks for under $5 right now. All the stocks in this article are also currently a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) or better.
Blueknight Energy Partners
Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) – Market Cap = $53.34 million
Formed in July 2007, Blueknight operates midstream energy assets, dealing with asphalt and crude oil. Blueknight operates an Oklahoma crude pipeline system and provides crude oil transport throughout Kansas, Oklahoma, and parts of Nebraska and Texas. Meanwhile, the company's asphalt operations are spread throughout the U.S.
Currently, BKEP is trading around $1.35 a share and is up 14.8% YTD, essentially performing equal to the S&P 500. Our Zacks Consensus Estimates predict fiscal 2019 earnings growth of 65.52% along with 5.24% revenue growth. And in the past 60 days both BKEP's fiscal 2019 and 2020 EPS estimates have surged over 50%.
Xcel Brands (XELB - Free Report)
Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) – Market Cap = $52.97 million
Founded in 2011, Xcel attempts to provide customers with a shopping, entertainment, and social experience through its interactive television and internet channels, as well as brick-and-mortar stores. Xcel stock has posted impressive YTD growth of 148.7% and was up over 16% through morning trading Thursday to $3.26 per share.
Even with this recent price jump, Xcel is only at trading at 6.91x earnings, significantly below the industry average of 12.81x. Additionally, Xcel is expected to have solid fiscal 2019 and 2020 growth. Our Zacks Consensus Estimates forecast fiscal 2019 top-line growth of 27.99% and earnings growth of 33.33%. Fiscal 2020 estimates anticipate an additional 25% earnings growth on the back of 14.86% revenue growth that would see it hit $51.8 million. The expected growth and recent gains, can provide investors with optimism that the stock may continue to add to its positive run.
Ring Energy Inc. (REI - Free Report)
Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) – Market Cap = $230.56 million
Based in Midland, Texas, Ring Energy is an oil and gas exploration, development and production company. The firm owns and operates land on the Permian Basin located in West Texas. REI is the most commonly traded stock on this list, with an average volume of 839,000. Ring was added to the Zacks Rank #1 list Tuesday and also carries with it an overall "B" VGM (Value, Growth, Momentum) grade in our Style Scores system. Over the past five years, REI has traded with a median P/E of 26.83, which is higher than the industry average of 18.12. But, Ring stock is currently trading at 4.29 times earnings, its lowest multiple in 2018 and 2019 and significantly below the industry average of 13.08. These numbers might suggest REI is undervalued at the moment.
Ring is also expected to post significant earnings and revenue growth over the next two years. Our Zacks Consensus Estimates call for 57.45% earnings growth along with 72.93% revenue growth in fiscal 2019. Following these expectations is another 27.52% earnings and 25.98% revenue growth in fiscal 2020. Ring's fiscal 2019 EPS estimate has surged 111%, from $0.35 to $0.74, over the past 90 days. Meanwhile, its fiscal 2020 estimate is up 51%, from $0.62 to $0.94. YTD, REI is down 33%, but the expected growth could help the stock to bounce back.
Atlantic Power Corp
Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) – Market Cap = $269.85 million
Massachusetts-based Atlantic Power is a power producer that also owns power generation assets in nine states and two Canadian providences. The company sells electricity to large, creditworthy customers, primarily under long-term agreements. Atlantic has the largest market cap of the stocks on this list, currently around $269 million. Atlantic's fiscal 2020 EPS estimate has jumped 170% over the past 60 days, with fiscal 2019 up over 100%.
Our Zacks Consensus Estimates predict earnings growth of 50% in fiscal 2019 and an additional 12.5% growth in fiscal 2020. Both years are also expected to see single-digit revenue growth, bringing expected fiscal 2020 revenue to $229.20 million. Atlantic has also posted positive earnings surprises in the past four quarters, for a 127% average. AT stock is up 13% YTD.
WidePoint Corp (WYY - Free Report)
Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) – Market Cap = $36.41 million
WidePoint is a tech company based in Virginia that delivers "secure, cloud-based, enterprise-wide information technology-based solutions." WidePoint has provided the U.S. government with its services for 20 years and also serves Fortune 100 companies. WYY is currently trading around $0.43, the cheapest stock included in this list. It also has the smallest market cap, sitting around $36.41 million.
With that being said, WidePoint is supposed to grow significantly over the past two years, which is why it holds an "A" for Growth in our Style Scores system. Our Zacks Consensus Estimates anticipate 150% earnings growth on the back of 10% top line growth in fiscal 2019. Following that is another expected 200% earnings growth as well as 9.37% revenue growth to bring its expected fiscal 2020 revenue to $100.76 million. YTD, WYY has gained 3%, underperforming the S&P 500 significantly. But with significant expected growth in the near future, the stock could receive a strong boost.

On 29th January 2018, the Band of the Brigade of Gurkhas flew to Nepal to provide musical support for various UK Defence Engagement activity. We hear from one of the newest and youngest members of the band about the trip, Musician Jhanak Dhungana who only joined the band at the end of 2017.
The Band led by the Director of Music (DOM), Major Tony Adams and the Assistant Director of Music (ADOM), Captain Basu Dev Gurung were also accompanied by pipers from 2 Royal Gurkha Rifles, Pipe Major Hem Karna Rai and Corporal Hemraj Rai, Pipe Major Saroj Gurung and Corporal Raman Rai from the Queen's Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment.
The band has visited Nepal many times in the past but being the newest member of the band (Intake 2017) it was for me and my three numbaries our first visit since joining the British Army and leaving Nepal.
After checking in all our instruments, uniforms and luggage eventually we were ready to board the plane. After a 13 hour of flight we arrived at Tribhuwan International Airport, Kathmandu, Nepal. After collecting all our instruments and luggage, we went to the British Gurkha Kathmandu camp, where we stayed throughout our tour.
From 1st February we were back with our musical hats on. It was nearly a week since the musicians had seen their instruments therefore we needed to practice to bring our musical standards back to the required levels expected of a British Army military band.
Daily from 3rd to 6th February, we travelled to Singh Darbar, the Nepalese Army Officers Club and Tudikhel for musical and marching rehearsals with the Nepalese Army Band.
On 7th February, we traveled to British Gurkha Pokhara for the Attestation parade for new Gurkha recruits of Intake 2018. Next morning, we gave those new recruits an experience of marching to a bass drum beat around the camp.
The 9th February was a huge day for Intake 2018. There were hundreds of family members who came to see their sons at the Attestation parade before they bid goodbye to them as they make their journey to the UK to start their basic training. It was like a flash back for me and my numbaries who were in the same position just a year ago. It was good to be back there again. In the evening our band performed a sounding of retreat for Intake 2018, for staff and guests of the Brigade of Gurkhas Pokhara.
On the 11th and 13th February, the band was engaged in the Shivaratri program at Tudikhel collaborating with the Nepalese Army Band and an Indian Army Band. This was a celebration for the Nepalese Army which they celebrate every year in style where hundreds of personnel participate with many VIPs present, including the President and Prime Minister of Nepal. It was a pleasure to see our Director of Music and Assistant Director of Music presented with a gift from Nepal's first female President Mrs Bidhya Devi Vandari on behalf of Nepal.
We also took part in a joint concert with the Nepalese and Indian Army Bands at the Nepalese Army Officers Club, which was very successful and enjoyable.
On 16th February, we travelled to a British school to give a short musical display for the students and staff. We could see our young audience were very pleased with our slick display and made them smile with our cornet section's funny act in "The Huntsman". We let our young audience participate with the band in our Brigade march "Yo Nepali".
On the evening of 21st February, the band performed a "Sounding of Retreat" at the British Embassy, Nepal. The sleek display by the band and flawless act of our Khukuri dancers amazed the audience from start to finish. The Ambassador himself came personally to express his gratitude to all the members of the Band of the Brigade of Gurkhas.
On 22nd of February, our brass quintet did the final engagement of the tour at the Officer's Mess, Kathmandu.
Finally after biding a farewell to family and friends we flew back to the UK on 5th March 2018.

UFC star overcome with emotion when asked if his title loss to Chris Weidman was rigged.
Former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva has wept on a Brazilian television show when asked if his fight to Chris Weidman at UFC 162 was fixed.
Silva, who has a testy relationship with media from other countries is prone to opening up more with some journalists and talk shows in his home country.
Since his stunning loss to Weidman in Las Vegas rumors and innuendo has swirled that Silva threw the fight, after being knocked out in the second round with the champion barely blocking a strike from the challenger.
In the video, Silva was upset by the fact people accuse him of throwing the fight, saying the belt, the UFC and his fans around the world mean too much to him.
"I get a little upset because when I go to fight I get to represent my country. Represent all Brazilians outside of Brazil and inside Brazil," Silva said.
"This upset me a lot, people think I sold the fight. I always said that this is a title Brazilian independent being with me or another Brazilian.
"I always say I do not like to fight because Brazil is a world title if another Brazilian to win this title I'll keep rooting for this title continues in Brazil."
Silva will get a shot at redemption when he fight Weidman again for the middleweight title when the pair lock horns in Las Vegas in the main event of UFC 168 on December 28.


text: I have a BA in studio arts from the University of Nebraska at Kearney. I also studied at Creighton University and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.Whether viewing or creating a painting I find myself questioning whether I understand what it means to see. It's obvious to me that I take this gift for granted and that my understanding of it is limited. Sight and seeing do not exist in a box. They're attached to the other senses of course but they are also attached to the will, intent, thought, psyche, spirit and belief and purpose of a person.All people naturally curate their world and set up the stage for what they see. We do this based on a "feeling." That "feeling" exists the way it exists because of exploding stars and thousands of millions of years of human history on Earth. It also exists because of personal experience but for most, it is a small number of definitive experiences that shape our beliefs and thus our sight. Moments from childhood reverberate throughout a lifetime. So, one could theoretically say that "Sheena is a punk rocker" because a significant negative experience imprinted itself on a 4.6 billion year old physical system in her body thus solidifying a nihilistic belief into her spirit and psyche. "Nothing's real man."I've known people who have spouted that philosophy with passion. That claim can be explored to some degree. There are even calculations by astrophysicists and others who are working out the mathematical maps of the universe that conclude that all is empty and illusive, everything from an electron to a tear of joy in your happiest moment. My explorations of this idea are not definitive and are for sure limited. I know that some say they find freedom in meaninglessness, but I reject this philosophy. I'm even prepared to reject it if it's mathematically accurate.Instead I believe, pursue and see the exact opposite of this idea. That is that "Everything is real." I find this idea much more useful in life especially as an artist. The world without some spiritual belief, pursuit of the mystical or belief in God is totally dry. As an artist I try not to overplay my immersion in mystical things or my belief in God because it can dangerously and arrogantly suggest that I have somehow managed to understand existence to some final conclusion or at least uncover some mystical secret. I have not. The point I'm moving toward is one that many have adhered to before me. The idea that life is infinitely real and is imbued with substance and meaning in every tiny building block of its structure is one that I believe allows for a deeper experience and is even a pre-condition for Joy. Many people pursue happiness and happiness is good, but Joy is an adventure!With my paintings I intend to invite you to journey into mystery in pursuit of joy. I hope that as some of these works catch your eye and you look deeply into them you find unexpected surprises that remind you that these walls and this day are much more than meet the eye. Remember that just because a thing is unseen doesn't mean it is hidden. Look deeply, explore meaning in all things, use your heart and see.Contact info:308 440 email@example.com: @joejoejijoeJoe McHale

Majestic Wine has reported a first-half loss of £4.4m, but sales rose and boss Rowan Gormley insists the "plan is working". The retailer, which acquired online wineseller Naked last year, said the reported loss in the six months to September 26 was due to costs relating to the £70m deal.
In the same period last year, Majestic reported profits of £4.3m.
It comes off the back of a profit warning issued in September, when Majestic said earnings would fall below expectations due to "isolated" factors.
However Majestic today reported strong sales as first-half revenues jumped 13.2% on a reported basis to £205.6m.
Retail like-for-likes rose 5.7% despite a "very challenging market", Majestic said. Customer numbers rose 9.1% to 820,000 active customers, the company said.
Sales at Naked Wines in the period jumped 26.7%.
Gormley said: "Our plan is working. We said that we would deliver sustainable growth, not by opening more stores, but by investing in better customer service and better customer retention.
"Now that we have built a solid platform for future growth, future cost growth will be much lower."
He also reitereated a committment to hit sales of £500m by 2019.
"We believe that will translate into healthy profit growth now that the step change in investment is complete."

Product Description
Important: Don't Forget To Access The Short Video Download.
Known the world over and famous for makers of magic and publishers since 1898! We have obtained, with permission, from Ms. Betty Davenport, London, England, to once again, produce this famous clever and original effect! Mental Ropes is a very magical rope effect that we are bringing back from years ago! It's original, self-working, clever with audience participation and very entertaining! Expertly crafted by master builder Louis Gaynor!
You show a brightly-colored wooden box, in which lies five different brightly-colored ropes. Both ends of each rope dangle outside both sides of the box. A magic wand (or similar such device), is placed cross-sectionally inside the box across from the ropes. The ends of the wand are thus sticking out of the box in full view at all times. To prevent interference, a lid is placed on top of the box covering the ropes and wand. An audience member is asked to simply select one of the colored ropes of their choice. They can change their mind if so desired as the effect plays out!
The remaining ropes that were not selected are pulled out individually. The spectator can ALSO choose which colored ropes to remove—and in what order—from the box. It's important to highlight the control the spectator has both in choosing the colored rope they want to remain in the box, and also choosing which ropes are removed and in what order. When the lid is removed, it is revealed that the spectator's selected rope is the ONLY one that is tied around the magic wand that's been there from the very beginning!
Complete with cleverly designed box and rope and wand. IMPORTANT: Please note due to changes in suppliers colors and designs of rope are subject to change without notice. The photo used here is for illustration purposes only. Based on availability you may get different colored ropes The wand that comes with the unit is best used to help you source a wood wand or a wood crafted stick (if you want to avoid the magic wand look). We wanted to keep the price lower on the apparatus,.

Your spouse had an affair. You followed the steps to end the affair, and now you and your spouse have made the decision to try to save your marriage and recover. You listened to our series about Recovering After an Affair. But now you want to learn more about the tools you can use to help you reconcile (the final step).
Today we continue our series all about the Reconciliation tools, how to use them, and why they are helpful. Although there is no guarantee your marriage will be saved, but these tools can help you build a new, more healthy marriage.
In today's episode we talk about the fifth tool–Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), developed by Dr.Albert Ellis in 1955. Since REBT is such a big topic, we broke up this subject into two parts: Part One, last week, is a background on what REBT is, what it means, and why it is important. THIS week, in Part Two, we will show you the technique, how to use it, and then tips on making REBT a habit.
When something negative, or bad happens to you, your inner dialog gives you it's take on the situation. As a result, you experience an emotion. You are then left with the choice of how to deal with whatever has happened.
As Christians, we know that our inner dialog is tainted by sin. Jeremiah says: "…The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?…" (Jeremiah 17:9) Dealing with our sin is the responsibility of all Christians. Our sin is a product of, the result of, and caused by our thinking: "…For out of the heart come evil thoughts–murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander…" (Matthew 15:19), and so on.
REBT is a tool that helps you investigate that inner dialog – to address and change that inner dialog to be one that is more helpful, wiser, and less prone to error. We also would point out that as Christians, changing that inner dialog is part of growing as a Christian. And as a Christian, we have the Holy Spirit who helps us grow and change. In this instance, REBT is used as a tool to help us focus directly on where sin and error have been so influential.
We have added several new REBT resources on our Affaircare Quizzes page!
NOTE TO SELF: This is a self-help tool – it is not meant for use on your spouse: you use it on yourself. This tool gives you a method to ease your aching heart, to calm yourself, and to give yourself the strength to handle the difficult road ahead of you. It gives you some clarity of mind with which you can then prepare and make better decisions. It can help you avoid those bad situations which arise from acting on impulse, or without considering further consequences.[audio: https://s3.amazonaws.com/affaircare-podcast/2016/Reconciliation+Tools-REBT+2+audio.mp3]

Red Sox Beat: All not lost for Red Sox
With their season teetering on the brink of irrelevance, a pair of Boston's Lost Boys had one of their better days.
Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford — part of a group of Red Sox veterans who have either produced far below their career norms or lost vast portions of time to injury that includes Dustin Pedroia, Jacoby Ellsbury, Josh Beckett and Jon Lester — were the driving forces in a 6-4 win over the visiting Minnesota Twins on Sunday.
Gonzalez had two hits and drove in three runs. His biggest hit was a two-run home run into the Monster Seats in the fifth inning that gave the Red Sox a three-run cushion. It was just the fifth time all season Gonzalez had at least two hits and drove in three or more runs.
Crawford, celebrating his 31st birthday, had three hits, stole a base and scored two runs.
"It was a big win," said Gonzalez. "Like I said a couple of days ago, we have to start winning these games. Hopefully today is the start of a good run."
While satisfying, the victory did little more than save Boston from the embarrassment of being swept four games by the lowly Twins, who have the second-worst record in the American League. The Red Sox remain 10 games behind the first-place Yankees in the A.L. East and are 4.5 games behind the Angels for the final wild card spot.
And at 54-55, Boston is a game under .500 with less than one-third of the season remaining.
"Every win is important from here on out," said Crawford. "We really can't afford to lose too many more."
With the game scoreless in the third inning, Gonzalez and Crawford made their initial impact.
Mike Aviles led off against Nick Blackburn (4-7) with a single, which Ellsbury followed with a double. Crawford grounded out to the right side to bring home Aviles and give the Red Sox a 1-0 lead. And after Pedroia singled, Gonzalez drove a single to center to knock in Ellsbury for a 2-0 edge.
Two innings later, with the score 2-1, Crawford singled with one out, and after Pedroia grounded out Gonzalez hit a no-doubt home run for a 4-1 lead.
The two even played a role in the fifth Red Sox run.
With one out and Crawford on second after yet another hit, the Twins intentionally walked Gonzalez to face Cody Ross. Ross made Minnesota pay with a single up the middle to drive in Crawford.
They had nothing to do with Boston's sixth run, which Ryan Kalish scored in the eighth. He doubled, stole third and came home on a sacrifice fly by Ellsbury.
Gonzalez is now hitting .304 with 11 home runs and 66 runs batted in. Five homers and 21 RBIs have come since the All-Star break.
"One of the things I really like was (Pedroia) and Adrian getting big hits in the same inning back-to-back," said manager Bobby Valentine. "And obviously that was a big home run for Adrian."
Crawford raised his average from .254 to .279 Sunday.
"I'd like (Crawford's) birthday to be every day," said Valentine. "He's hitting with two strikes, he's hitting the ball hard, stealing bases. He had a damn near perfect game, and when he's like that it can make a big difference."
While it was a couple of Lost Boys who did the most damage at the plate, it was one of Boston's misfits — the rookies and journeymen who've outperformed expectations to keep the Red Sox on the fringe of the playoff race, Will Middlebrooks and Ross chief among them — who delivered the kind of pitching performance the staff leaders so often haven't.
Franklin Morales, pitching in place of Josh Beckett, who suffered back spasms last Tuesday and won't pitch until this Wednesday, gave the Red Sox six superb innings.
He allowed one run on three hits, struck out four and walked three. Morales (3-2) will likely go back to the bullpen when Beckett returns despite five strong outings in six starts.
"That's not my decision," Morales said. "I'm here for the team, to help the team in any situation the manager needs me. I just try to take the hitters out."
The lone run Morales gave up came without the benefit of a hit. He walked Alexi Casilla to lead off the fifth. Casilla stole second, moved to third on a groundout and scored on a sacrifice fly. Vicente Padilla, the third of four relievers for the Red Sox, gave up two home runs in the ninth inning and three runs overall before Alfredo Aceves retired three straight hitters for the save.
"It's the same thing he's done all year long," catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia said of Morales. "He came in and threw strikes, mixed in his off-speed pitches for strikes, which is huge. ... He just pitched great."
On Monday, in Game 110 of 2012, the Red Sox will host the Rangers, and try to build on Sunday's win so they can be something more than the barely relevant team they've been for four months. For it to happen, it will likely take excellence from some of the Lost Boys, with contributions from a few misfits as well.

text: Tattoos have been around for centuries - different cultures across the globe have used tattoos to decorate the body, to mark major milestones, and sadly in some cases, as identification. However, in the past decade, there has been a huge rise in popularity of tattoos and as with any trend, there is the inevitable regret that follows. Unfortunately, getting rid of a tattoo is not as easy as say, returning a pair of ill-chosen trendy sandal/boots. However new technology, laser tattoo removal has made erasing your ill-chosen tattoo possible but at a price.Laser Tattoo Before and After Photos by Dr. Janee SteinbergRecently featured on The Doctors, laser tattoo removal is also growing in popularity as more people are facing tattoo regret. "There are many people who come to me and they say, 'I did this when I was young and foolish and now I'm grown up and in the business world," says Boca Raton dermatologist Dr. Janee Steinberg. And while Dr. Steinberg has seen many tattoo designs come, her job is to help them go.Dr. Steinberg stresses that tattoos that have many colors will require several different lasers and at least 6-10 sessions to successfully remove the tattoo. It is not possible for laser tattoo removal to be performed in only one session since the laser treatment would be to aggressive and would cause severe scarring. Another important thing Dr. Steinberg points out is patient expectation, "Greens, purples, oranges and yellows are very difficult to remove. The patient has to understand from the very beginning, that you may not be able to remove every bit of ink that they have." Black and blue tattoo inks are the easiest color ink to remove with laser tattoo removal.Laser Tattoo Removal Results of Dr. Janee SteinbergAs discussed on The Doctors, the patient that underwent laser tattoo removal said on a pain level of 1-10, it was an 8.5. Laser tattoo removal is not an easy and pain-free procedure and may hurt even more than when the tattoo was put on. "It probably hurts a lot more to remove the tattoo than to put it on," states Dr. Steinberg, "But with numbing creams, topical lidocaine anesthetics, local injections and maybe sedation in some cases, it's doable most people put up with it they're motivated they want that tattoo off." The patient on The Doctors set did say although the pain was pretty bad, it was bearable - especially since she really wanted the tattoo to be removed.The larger the tattoo, the more expensive it is to treat. Cost of laser tattoo removal will vary from market to market and availability of the procedure. Most practices charge by the square inch and patients can expect to pay $30-$55 per square inch. Depending on how large the tattoo is, this can translate to $6,000 to $12,000 to remove a tattoo since 6-10 sessions are required.The best way to avoid the time and expense of laser tattoo removal is to really re-think getting a tattoo. In a culture that is as impulsive and trend-driven as ours, this may be difficult. But getting a tattoo is a commitment and it is permanent unless you willing to spend a lot of time and money to get it removed - which is something worth considering before going under the needle.

FBI: Murder suspect could be in Sierra Nevada
A Pasadena man recently listed as one of the FBI's 10 most wanted fugitives could be hiding near California or the Sierra Nevada, FBI officials in Las Vegas said Thursday.
William Bradford Bishop, Jr., now 77, and once described by investigators as the "family annihilator," is wanted in connection to a 1976 cold case homicide involving five of his family members.
In March 1976, Bishop's family was bludgeoned to death with a hammer in Maryland. That included his three sons, ages 5, 10 and 14, officials said on the FBI website.
Investigators said they believe Bishop drove to North Carolina with the bodies in a station wagon, buried them in a shallow grave and lit them on fire.
"Nothing has changed since March 2, 1976 when Bishop was last seen except the passage of time," Steve Vogt, an special agent with the Baltimore Division, said on the FBI website.
Vogt had teamed up with Maryland law enforcement to find Bishop.
He was last seen one day after the murders in a sporting goods store in Jacksonville, N.C., where he bought a pair of sneakers.
Investigators said there is a strong possibility Bishop could have returned to familiar places near Southern California or the Sierra Nevada.
Bishop was described in 1976 as 6 feet tall and 180 pounds with brown hair and eyes. He has a vertical 6-inch surgical scar on his lower back.
He's known to be outdoorsy and also enjoys riding motorcycles. He was also a licensed amateur pilot who learned to fly in Botswana, investigators said.
Bishop was also described as intense, self-absorbed, prone to violent outbursts and neat.
Officials had formed a task force last year to further investigate the case and to engage the public in locating him. The goal was bring international attention to the case, investigators said on the FBI website.
"If Bishop is alive ... we are hopeful someone will call with the tip we need to catch him," Tom Manger, chief fo the Montgomery County Police Department and member of the task force, said in a statement. "Wen you have a crime of this magnitude, no matter how long ago it occurred, the police department and the community never stop trying to bring the person responsible to justice."
Since the publicity campaign began earlier this month, the FBI Baltimore Division has received a large number of tips in the areas where Bishop lived and worked.
FBI officials are offering a $100,000 for information leading to the Bishop's capture. Anyone with tips can contact their local FBI Field Office or call 1-800-CALL-FBI or leave information at www.fbi.gov.
