Play With Me – a loosely inspired by the film "Saw" escape the room adventure game with optical illusions now available on Steam!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – January 17th, Warsaw, Poland.
Enter the world of a dangerous psychopath and check how it feels to slowly descend into madness. Explore the dark world created by a sick mind and find out who is behind it. However, you will not be alone during this journey – you will be able to win the gratitude of other imprisoned and even get their help with a bit of manipulation and favors. How will you use them? Are you ready to sacrifice your friend to get away from the trap? And most of all will you dare to… "Play with Me"?
Get Play With Me from Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/725780/PLAY_WITH_ME/) as the game is now available for USD 9,99, EUR 9,99, GBP 7,19, PLN 35,99, RUB 259,00 with a 15% launch discount.
An investigative journalist, Robert Hawk and his wife Sara disappear in mysterious circumstances. The police find only their car wreck at the scene of the accident. According to the suspicions of the investigation officers, a man called "Illusion", a serial killer about whom Hawk has been writing investigative articles for a long time, may have something to do with Hawk and his wife disappearance. Apparently, with the help of his friend, private detective Patrick Clark, the journalist was very close to discover Illusion's true identity. Now, as a result of the accident, Hawk finds himself in the "Illusion" and he has to get through a maze of puzzles in order to survive.
Get to a higher level of immersion and use real objects from your surroundings to outsmart the harasser. Blow into the microphone to blow out the candles, make a hand gesture to light the match, shake the box, open the jar or attack someone with a hammer. Use a mirror, a piece of paper or your own hand to cover a part of the screen and solve the puzzle. And be sure, that this is only the beginning of many unique gameplay solutions and original ideas implemented in the game.
Enter the world of a dangerous psychopath and check how it feels to slowly descend into madness thanks to a unique system of determining the mental state of your character. Take advantage of some additional activities – write your own diary in a virtual telephone, read text messages or play mobile games – do whatever that will keep you sane.
Remember that thanks to some random elements, from puzzles, through items' location, to dialogues each encounter with the game will be different. And when in a need for challenge, test your skills in additional modes, including the exceptional survival mode. Finally test your human nature through moral choices and secondary quests which will lead you to many different endings.

Pretty much all week, little Russell has been sick. He threw up Monday night, and then woke up barking/coughing. I stayed home with him Tuesday, because he was running a fever. He seemed a little better Wednesday morning, but by the evening I noticed that he was coughing *a lot*, and he didn't have much appetite. Thursday, his fever was back, and worse than ever. It seemed he slept all day. By the evening, he was acting better, and he said he was hungry, though he didn't eat much. Hopefully, by the end of the weekend he'll be back to his old ornery self!

Grammy nominated guitarist, singer and songwriter Bill Kirchen is one of the fortunate few who can step onto any stage, play those trademark licks that drove his seminal Commander Cody classic Hot Rod Lincoln into the Top Ten, and elicit instant recognition for a career that has spanned over 40 years and includes guitar work with Nick Lowe, Emmylou Harris, Doug Sahm, Elvis Costello and many more. Named "A Titan of the Telecaster" by Guitar Player Magazine, he celebrates an American musical tradition where rock 'n' roll and country music draws upon its origins in blues and bluegrass, Western swing from Texas and California honky-tonk. His current CD Word To The Wise on Proper American features duets with many of these artists he's worked with, including Elvis, Nick, Maria Muldaur and Dan Hicks.

Create your $5k pm biz plan, discover your profitable niche + learn the 3 biggest mistakes new health coaches make (+ what to do instead)
Healthy Business Kickstart is an online course for new Health Coaches that walks you through your first steps in business.
Are you starting out as a Health Coach?
You've chosen to become a Health Coach because you're super passionate about sharing with clients everything you know about healing their bodies naturally, right?
But where do you start? Where will that first client come from, and what steps do you need to take to start up a Health Coaching business? And a successful one, at that!
You've seen Health Coaches doing it, their lives look great and so can yours. You can make a fantastic living doing this!
But you do need to know the steps to take because what you see other Health Coaches doing online is only the tip of the iceberg - the pretty polished finished picture on the surface; but their real secret is in knowing what it takes 'behind-the-scenes'.
I'm going to show you exactly how they do it so you can experience that level of success, too.
Finally a proven system specifically to help Health Coaches create $5k+ pm.
You may already have your certification, but there's a big part that isn't covered yet. And this is going to come from getting clear on your exact action plan to bring in consistent clients to your business, discovering your profitable niche and being aware up-front of the biggest mistakes new Health Coaches make - so you don't have to!
My simple new Healthy Business Kickstart course walks you through exactly what to do, step by step, to fill your Health Coaching practice, even if you're new in business, or have never had a client.
Your Health Coaching career is in good hands
I'm Amanda Jane Daley. I've helped some of the most successful Health Coaches you know - they've quit their jobs, travelled the world while coaching, booked-out their schedules solid (with growing wait lists) and are making incomes of $5-10k per month.
Until now I've only been able to offer that to my high-level UPswing Mastermind clients, but now I am so excited to offer you a 'kickstart' system to get started using exactly the same foundations.
The Kickstart series offers simple training designed for your exact stage in business, in a convenient self-study format and low investment - so you can start building your business TODAY!
I will take you by the hand and help you build the energising, personally fulfilling, profitable health coaching business that makes a difference not only to your quality of life, but also to the wonderful clients who are waiting for your services.
Let me empower you with the tools to kickstart this rewarding and flexible career; to help others and get paid what you deserve.
I've created the Healthy Business Kickstart course so that purposeful women like yourself can get out there and get your health coach on (with a healthy revenue, to boot)
Imagine knowing the exact formula to make $5k per month (or more) in your first year as a Health Coach - building not only the income you desire, but also having plenty of time for that yoga class, a green smoothie with friends, and date nights with your man.
The underlying secret behind creating ALL of this is that when your business is built to fuel you, you will in turn fuel a powerful Health Coaching brand that is untouchable.
That's exactly what I am going to help you do!
The Healthy Business Kickstart course consists of 4 business lessons, packed with easy to follow, easy to finish, engaging video training!
4 x VIDEO LESSONS:
The Healthy Business Kickstart course includes life-changing takeaways on:
- How to create your own $5k per month biz plan as a health coach
- How to know who you are here to serve
- How to understand what your ideal client is really looking to buy (hint: it's not 'health coaching')
- How to target a niche which will be profitable for your business
Supporting worksheets guide you deeper through each process. Nothing will feel overwhelming. You'll be amazed at the clarity, inspiration and aha's that come from the clarity of implementing these worksheets.
Transcriptions of each training to follow along with the training or for easy reading away from the computer.
Audio training to listen to on your commute or morning walk, allowing the lessons to sink in even further.
Slide decks to make notes as you follow along closely with the training, or for a quick visual recap anytime.
On top of this, YOU'RE GETTING MY 15 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN MARKETING AND RUNNING A SUCCESSFUL HEALTH COACHING BUSINESS, lovingly crafted into step-by-step actions to move you along your business path. You'll never have to say you're an 'Aspiring Health Coach' ever again.
I can safely say that this course is what you've been looking for if you are ready to go out into the world and share your tools and knowledge with people you KNOW need a Health Coach like you.

"Even though we have never met, or even spoken, I feel like we know each other. I think it comes down to your genuine need to help. I have really enjoyed the course so far. I was so close to just giving up!!! And now, quite the opposite actually and super excited about my new program and future life. THANK YOU for giving me hope, guidance and confidence that I CAN DO THIS!!!!"
- Michelle Pitt, South Africa
"Before the UPswing Client Kickstart I felt unsure and lost in how to run a Health Coaching Business. The program has given me so much clarity in the areas needed to run a successful coaching business - from becoming clear on my target market to discovery sessions with clients. Amanda walks you through step by step all you need to know when starting out as a coach and a business entrepreneur. My mindset has shifted around marketing and sales too and I now feel confident in what I need to do on a daily basis which is such a relief. I would highly recommend this program to anyone starting out as a coach and entrepreneur."
- Monique Micale, Australia
"The UPswing Client Kickstart has been a fantastic and fulfilling six weeks of learning and exploration. I feel so much more confident and ready to go out and get my business truly achieving what I know it can. Amanda's guidance is clear, actionable, and totally relevant for Health Coaches, and spoke directly to my concerns and situation. In just six weeks I've gone from nothing to having a clear target market, a well-planned coaching package, knowledge of how to market it, AND new discovery sessions coming in each week. I've loved the entire program and feel like Amanda really delivered value above and beyond anything I was expecting. If you're a Health Coach struggling to set up shop and unsure why you're not getting anywhere, give this course a try - I am so happy I did!"
- Samantha Russell, South Korea
"Before UPswing, I felt like I didn't know what I was doing. I had never run a business, and I was struggling with finding clients. A week after talking to Amanda about my money issues and clearing that fear, I found my first client quite randomly. She paid my full package upfront, and I was in shock at how easy it was once I was clear. Since then I've signed up another 3 clients (this was double my initial goal so that's pretty cool). I am now 10 million times more confident that I will get clients -- and have realized that the confidence is key. I've also started building my list and have launched a month-long challenge that I am loving, as it finally feels like I'm nurturing and cultivating my tribe."
— Erin Laishley, Australia
"[Before working with Amanda] I was scared to put myself out there. Now I'm getting consistency with new clients, which feels great. Last month was the first month I've made more money from Health Coaching and personal training than I do in my part-time job. That means financial freedom for me. I've had an opportunity to go to Italy for 3 weeks, and I don't think I would have said yes if it wasn't for this program. In the 3 months I have been in the Mastermind I have doubled my revenue compared to the 3 months prior. And I have to say I'm thrilled!"
— Emma Polette, Australia
"I want to tell you that your Mastermind program is seriously awesome - the value is fantastic.I'm getting more out of this program than I did last year working 1:1 with a business coach - at a fraction of the cost. The community is insanely supportive and I've really connected with the other Mastermind members - we stay in communication each day and this makes a huge difference - through the good stuff and the challenging stuff. Thanks again for everything you do - it is seriously a gift."
— June Melia, USA
"I'm so incredibly glad that I chose to sign up for UPswing Mastermind, it's changed everything! The content, structure and guest mentors have all been awesome, inspiring and so useful. I feel like I'm completely set up to make my business as lucrative as I want it to be going forward. The biggest thing was getting clear on my target, and from there learning the copy and the structure for making a package. I now have 15 new 3-month clients, and am regularly getting 2-4 Discovery Sessions per week, and am converting 90% of them to clients! It's so exciting! I've quit my part-time job and am now working full time as a coach. I absolutely love it, and I am planning to go and work in Bali for two months in August - just because I can! This experience has changed my life and given me the confidence to build my dream freedom business! I can honestly say that I don't think I ever would have got here without UPswing MM. Thank you Amanda!
— Andrea Featherstone, Australia

"a place where craft meets horsepower "
We are said to have five senses: smell, taste, touch, hearing & sight. Some say we have more... I think that we have at least one extra: the sense of quality. It is when we look at something and want to try it because we feel that this specific artefact perfectly suits its purpose. I feel this when I look at Twinline motorcycles.

I just received the Serene Scenery 6x6 stack of papers in my last order and these are all just so beautiful! By simply stamping this starfish from Picture Perfect and adding some Burlap Ribbon you can create a card in a snap!
If you don't already have the Serene Scenes DSP I highly recommend getting this paper! I also stamped the word "love" from the Jar of Love stamp set in the sand along the bottom. I think this is perfect for this masculine anniversary card.
Thanks for visiting today!

The Morning Call
Lire à Douala or Read in Douala is set to kick off this week from the 7th to 10th of this month in Douala. It is an annual event that mainly focuses on literature in Cameroon. The aim of this year's event is to bring together young and old people around their words and expressions, question one another on their relationship with books and to encourage reflection and creativity.

Still in Cameroon, Julie Frankline Cheugue, Miss Cameroon 2016 was recently stripped of her title for speaking her mind concerning the recent protests in the Anglophone regions.
Nigerian artist 2Baba recently called on Nigerians to join him in a nationwide protest against what he described as the unfavourable policies implemented by President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration which have worsened the Nigerian economy. Just hours before the protests, the renowned singer decided to cancel the minute.

Hello Friends!
I've tried blogging three or four times. Once was a weight loss blog that was pretty great, "Get Fit Tommy." It was good writing and fun, but I never did get fit. Or, rather, I did then time happened and I was no longer fit. The second blog was "Geriatric Jazz" which is still up; it reads like the diary of an immature me. Because it was.
I've recently decided that I should start blogging again. I'm hoping it'll be a place where I can share my thoughts about worship, music, books, my family, church, etc. It will be informal because well… I'm an informal kind of guy.
It will also read like the diary of an immature me.
Chances are we're acquainted. But if not here's a few things to note:
– I'm Alyssa's husband and Atticus' dad. You can see them in this picture my good friend Dave took.
– We live in North County San Diego where I'm a worship pastor at New Song Community Church.
– I will often write about my family and my church. Any views or opinions I share are all my own and do not represent Alyssa, Atticus, or the church; although I do hope to represent them well.

There have been 10 communities destroyed by mass shootings this year. Now my community is one of them.
My friend Bruce saw his brother shot in front of him when he was just 6 years old. My friend Camiella has been to more funerals than high school graduations. My friend Sarah's mother survived the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
Then Tuesday, four people were shot to death, plus the shooter, and 10 people were wounded including two children at an elementary school 30 minutes from the home where I grew up in rural Northern California.
Seeing the news break on social media, my co-worker said: "There was another shooting today. This one in California, in Tehama County."

At that moment – when I realized this shooting was in my community – my heart sank.
For two years, I worked on gun violence prevention advocacy at the Center for American Progress, a Washington, D.C., think tank. I helped organize a coalition of nearly 3,000 young people, the majority of whom had been directly impacted by gun violence. On a seemingly daily basis, coalition members would call me to share the hardship and trauma they endured as a result of gun violence. It broke my heart, over and over again.
But gun violence feels different when it hits, quite literally, close to home. As soon as I heard the news, I picked up the phone and started to dial my mom and dad. Fortunately, they are OK.
This was the 166th mass shooting since January 2009, and the 10th mass shooting this year. Even more terrible, this was the 257th school shooting since 2013, and the 49th this year. Every day, 90 Americans are killed with a gun. But what have we done to address gun violence in our communities?
I've spent the majority of the past three years in Washington, D.C. I've closely observed my congressman, Doug LaMalfa, at home in California, and here in the capital. He has fought consistently to protect the rights of domestic abusers, rather than the victims of domestic abuse and gun violence.
We know how to prevent gun violence. We must implement commonsense laws to prevent guns from getting into the wrong hands, and invest in community-centered approaches that address the root causes of gun violence. But whenever a shooting breaks through to the national news, members of Congress extend their "thoughts and prayers," and do nothing more.
Rep. LaMalfa has received more than $6,000 from the powerful National Rifle Association. Accordingly, they have given him a 93 percent score for his positions on "gun rights."
As the community that raised me deals with the aftermath of this shooting, my thoughts will be with the victims, their families, and their friends. But thoughts are not enough.
Now, more than ever, we must ensure that our elected leaders know that we will not accept gun violence as the norm. We can, and must, do better. We can't afford another mass shooting, another child slain walking home from the bus stop, another husband or wife killed in a domestic dispute.
Please call Rep. LaMalfa and ask that he honor his constituents, who were killed, by supporting legislation to prevent senseless gun violence. Here's his number: 202-225-3076.

I have had the good fortune to hook up with three publishing companies, Sports Publishing, University of Nebraska Press, and Triumph Books, to search their catalogs and request books to read. In exchange, I give their publicist a fair and honest review of each book. To date, I have completed nearly 50 book reviews in the previous 15 months. The fruits of my labor can be found at KnupSports.
I expect to finish 6 books in June. Here are the first three books that I received as I expect to get a few more on my doorstep soon.
As a child, Anne Keene's father, Jim Raugh, suited up as the team batboy and mascot. He got to know his baseball heroes personally, watching players hit the road on cramped, tin-can buses, dazzling factory workers, kids, and service members at dozens of games, including a war-bond exhibition with Babe Ruth at Yankee Stadium.
After being drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1961 out of Northwestern University, Cross went on to have a nine-year career in the NFL, appearing in two Pro Bowls. After retiring, he joined the Eagles as a coach and remained so until 1971 when a rare opportunity came along to join CBS Sports with no experience.
The author takes a candid and revealing look at the people and events that made Manning's and his 2007 Giants' success one of the greatest stories in modern sports history. Complete with exclusive interviews with NFL stars, coaches, and executives.

It's time I came clean. Not many people know this fact about me. Some would say they aren't surpised. 🙂 I graduated last in my class in the 8th grade. True fact. I will get back to that later. What I want to let you know about will be from my Junior High school years. I will touch on the 7th grade tournament but I am saving the majority of that for a complete blog all by itself. These are some random thoughts about Junior High School
These years were very cool. It was the first time in your life you got to move around for classes and you had some freedom between classes. It was a couple of years of experimenting and actually being able to participate in sports every night after school that made Junior High a special place. It was also cool to get out of Manito.
There was an odd phenomenon called dancing. It was a horrible thing to do in Junior High school. The problem with this was it required that male and females to touch each other. But what came with it was the stigma of knowing how to dance. The school always had a back-to-school dance about the second week of the year. It was from 7-9 in the gym. The vast majority of the boys hung together and the girls all huddled off to the side. Every once in awhile some couples put on an attempt to dance but that was far and in between. What went on was the gossip that floated around the gym. Some girl would come over to the boys and tell us so and so like one of the boys. Later, a boy floated over to the girls and told what had been said in their group. This went on for about an hour and a half. By the time you worked up the courage to ask a girl to dance there was 15-20 minutes left. It was a definite social experiment.
Another thing that happened was in PE, Mrs. Rossi would have a unit in dancing. This was not good. You could actually get paired up with a girl that carried cooties and you had no control over it. She lined us up and we called out a number and that was our partner. We did that several different times and was quite embarrassing.
We had to take Arts and Crafts. Mr Guy was the teacher and he was a very odd duck. Now for me, this was one of the worst classes that I could be in. I had/have absolutely no talent in art or in the making of crafts. It was a boring class to be in. One assignment was to sculpture something. I didn't do until he announced that it was due tomorrow so those not done should take their sculpture block home to complete. I had done nothing to mine at all. Mid-evening, my brother Lyle asked me what it was and what was supposed to be done with it. I told him and explained I wasn't going to do the work. He said very little and I went to bed. Lo and behold, in the morning there was this great looking sphinx sitting on the table for me to take to class. I was a bit embarrassed because I knew and everyone knew I had no talent. I took it to class and turned it in. Just before the bell was to ring, Mr. Guy called me up and asked me if I had actually completed the project or did someone else do it. What am I to do? Just what I need to do to get a decent grade…. I told him I did it all by myself. I got an A on the project but he and I both knew I didn't do it. Thanks, Lyle!
It was a blast. Two weeks before the first day of class we are practicing baseball every day. I had never experienced anything like it and Junior High was going to be so much fun. As the practices progressed, it appeared I was going to be the starting shortstop as a 7th grader on the 8th-grade team. Until….. one practice the catcher (I don't remember who it was) got a ball fouled off his knuckles and broke two fingers. Coach Rudd took me aside and said I was to be the teams' catcher for the season. I was just happy to play and that year and that position was a lot of fun. Jim Petty was a fireballing pitcher and he and I had played baseball in the summer for years. I loved being catcher as you were into every play of the game.
I remember two particular plays and they likely were in different games. I wasn't a power hitter but a gap man. I was up in the bottom of the 6th inning and we were down 2 runs and the bases were loaded. Do you think I hit one out of the park? Well, not exactly. I hit the ball hard just over the second baseman's glove that rolled on the grass in the outfield and just kept rolling and rolling. I was fast enough to make it a grand slam and we won in the 7th inning by two runs.
Another play I remember was in the field behind the plate. No big deal but I remember this. The pitch by Petty got away from me or he threw it wild with a runner on third base and the baseball rolled to the fence. I went back to get it and tossed it backward towards the plate as Jim Petty dove into the runner and he was called out. Just a cool blind throw that ended the inning. I think I remember that because the umpire told me it was the best play he had ever seen in a Junior High game.
Letting me share two stories with you about getting injured in the 7th grade in PE. One day we were playing flag football. Both the 7th and 8th grade boys played together. I was playing defense when the quarterback threw the ball downfield when I jumped to catch it. Problem was that at the same time on offense Leonard Wheat jumped to catch it and his teeth caught me just above the right eye and I was instantly bleeding all over. Whoever the PE teacher was sent a kid to the office to let Mr. Rudd know we needed an ambulance. He didn't call anybody. He drove his car out to the field, put me in it and drove m to Havana hospital. It was the first time I ever heard a teacher/principal cuss as we were a fes miles from town he said, "You have a hell of a gash there, Tommy. You're going to get damn stitches for that." Well, they called my mom from the school and she met us there. I had 14 stitches. Ten above my eye and 4four on the eyelid. My actual eye had no damage. I went to school the next day.
In the spring I was pitching softball in PE when a line drive smacked me in the right eye. They called my mom and she took me home. I didn't go to school the next day…….. because it was game one of the 1964 World Series and the Cardinals and Yankees were playing.
Basketball was a blast. It was about this time of the year that I really started to like girls. However, I will add that it was also becasue girls started liking me. You see, I was the only 7th grader started on the lightweight team. Mark Thompon, Dennis Specketer, John Middleton, Lynn Vogel and myself were the primary starters. We had first year coach/science teach Frank Gassmann, a new SIU grad, as our leader. The core 5 of the team tried to emulate the players from the starting five of the then Bradley Braves. I was Joe Strawder, somebody else was LaVern Tart, another Bobby Joe Mason and I don't remember the other three.
Our season was loads of fun as we kept winning and winning. We were 22-0 going into the state tournament to be played in Rantoul. It was because of this success that I can remember that my life was a blast. The State Touney brought out the entire towns and neighboring villages along with our own student body with fan busses and such. More on the State Tournament in a few weeks.
Remember this? The Mason County Jamboree. I don't have anything to say about it but I enjoy it and won the baseball toss four years in a row. However, it leads into my next story.
I suppose I shouldn't be admitting this and should be ashamed that I graduated last in my class when diplomas were given out a graduation. I still shake my head but there was to be graduation on Thursday night at the Forman Junior High School. On the previous weekend I was in the Mason County Jamboree on Saturday and all went well. That night I began to feel bad. All day Sunday I laid on the couch in some pain not doing so well. My parents thought maybe I had hurt myself at the Jamboree. They mentioned a rupture and to an 8th grade kid that was an embarrassment.
Finally, Monday morning they took me to the hospital and I was diagnosed with appendicitis. They did emergency surgery Monday afternoon and I got out of the hospital on Wednesday. I missed three days of school for it. Come ThursdayI really hadn't walked very far but about 5pm I insisted I go to the graduation. My parents allowed me if I walked sparingly. The school was in an uproar as they had practiced the ceremony and now I had put everything out of kilter. So they made an administrative decision. Instead of changing everything they just added me to the end. So, they added a chair for me at the end they called my name to graduate and I walked up there slowly to the podium and received my diploma. Since I was last the crowd cheered loudly ( I am sure it was ALL for me) and officially graduate last in my class.
1943 New York entrepreneur William D. Cox purchases the bankrupt Phillies from the National League. The 33 year-old new owner will be banned from baseball in November by commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis when he admits to making some "sentimental" bets on his team during the season.
1954 In their first major trade since moving from St. Louis, the Orioles, formerly known as the Browns, exchange outfielders with the Senators, sending Roy Sievers to Washington for Gil Conan. Sievers will spend five solid seasons in the nation's capital, making the All-Star squad twice, and Conan, playing less than two seasons in Baltimore, compiles a .266 batting average with three home runs, appearing in 155 games.
1960 Walter O'Malley completes the purchase of land just north of downtown Los Angeles as the site of a new ballpark for his transplanted Brooklyn club. The Dodger owner paid a reported $494,000 for the property at Chavez Ravine, believed to be worth $92,000 at the time.
1967 During a special softball exhibition game, pitcher Eddie Feigner strikes out six consecutive major leaguers, a group that includes five future Hall of Famers. The victims include Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Brooks Robinson, Harmon Killebrew, Roberto Clemente and Maury Wills.
1998 Long time baseball announcer Harry Caray dies at the age of 84 after suffering a heart attack four days earlier while having Valentine's Day dinner with his wife, Dutchie. The colorful "Mayor of Rush Street" started his career in 1945 with the Cardinals and also did play-by-play for the A's, White Sox, and the Cubs during his 52 years in the broadcast booth
1999 The Blue Jays trade Roger Clemens to the Yankees for David Wells, Graeme Lloyd, and Homer Bush.
2005 After five months of captivity in a Venezuelan jungle surrounded by explosives to keep her from escaping, Ugueth Urbina's mother, Maura Villarreal, is rescued during a daring eight-hour police raid. The kidnappers had demanded $6 million ransom from the Tigers' relief pitcher for his mom's freedom.
2009 After considering to play for Atlanta, a location which is closer to his family, Ken Griffey Jr. agrees to a one-year deal with the Seattle Mariners. The 39 year-old outfielder joins a list of superstars, Babe Ruth (Boston), Willie Mays (New York), and Hank Aaron (Milwaukee), to choose the city where they played with their first team as the place to end their major league career.
2009 At 11:25 a.m., the last remaining piece of Shea Stadium, the ramp to section 5, is demolished, marking the end of the New York ballpark where the Mets played for 44 years. The space will become a parking lot for the team's new home, the $800-million Citi Field, which will open in April.
2011 The Orioles officially announce the signing of Vladimir Guerrero after the 36 year-old passed his physical. The team's new everyday designated hitter, who batted .300 with 29 homers and 115 RBIs with the American League Champion Rangers last season, agrees to a one-year, $8 million deal to play in Baltimore.
2011 In the first game of the season, Garrett Wittels goes 0-for-4 against Southeastern Louisiana, leaving the Florida International University junior two games short of Robin Ventura's Division l record of hitting in 58 consecutive games, established by the former major leaguer in 1987. The overall NCAA mark is 60 straight games, set by Damian Costantino playing for Division III Salve Regina from 2001-03.
A Joint Congressional Resolution requiring the Secretary of War "to provide for taking meteorological observations at the military stations in the interior of the continent, and at other points in the States and Territories…and for giving notice on the northern lakes and on the seacoast, by magnetic telegraph and marine signals, of the approach and force of storms" was introduced. Congress passed the resolution and on February 9, 1870, President Ulysses S. Grant signed it into law. A new national weather service had been born within the U.S. Army Signal Service's Division of Telegrams and Reports for the Benefit of Commerce that would affect the daily lives of most of the citizens of the United States through its forecasts and warnings for years to come. Gen. Albert J. Myer served as the first Director of the new weather service.
For the Whole Story
he National Weather Service (NWS) is an agency of the United States government that is tasked with providing weather forecasts, warnings of hazardous weather, and other weather-related products to organizations and the public for the purposes of protection, safety, and general information. It is a part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) branch of the Department of Commerce, and is headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland (located just outside Washington, D.C.). The agency was known as the United States Weather Bureau from 1890 to 1970, when it adopted its current name.
The NWS performs its primary task through a collection of national and regional centers, and 122 local weather forecast offices (WFOs). As the NWS is a government agency, most of its products are in the public domain and available free of charge.
In 1870, the Weather Bureau of the United States was established through a joint resolution of Congress signed by President Ulysses S. Grant with a mission to "provide for taking meteorological observations at the military stations in the interior of the continent and at other points in the States and Territories…and for giving notice on the northern (Great) Lakes and on the seacoast by magnetic telegraph and marine signals, of the approach and force of storms." The agency was placed under the Secretary of War as Congress felt "military discipline would probably secure the greatest promptness, regularity, and accuracy in the required observations." Within the Department of War, it was assigned to the U.S. Army Signal Service under Brigadier General Albert J. Myer. General Myer gave the National Weather Service its first name: The Division of Telegrams and Reports for the Benefit of Commerce.
Cleveland Abbe – who began developing probabilistic forecasts using daily weather data sent by the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce and Western Union, which he convinced to back the collection of such information in 1869 – was appointed as the Bureau's first chief meteorologist. In his earlier role as the civilian assistant to the chief of the Signal Service, Abbe urged the Department of War to research weather conditions to provide a scientific basis behind the forecasts; he would continue to urge the study of meteorology as a science after becoming Weather Bureau chief. While a debate went on between the Signal Service and Congress over whether the forecasting of weather conditions should be handled by civilian agencies or the Signal Service's existing forecast office, a Congressional committee was formed to oversee the matter, recommending that the office's operations be transferred to the Department of War following a two-year investigation.
The agency first became a civilian enterprise in 1890, when it became part of the Department of Agriculture. Under the oversight of that branch, the Bureau began issuing flood warnings and fire weather forecasts, and output the first daily national surface weather maps; it also established a network to distribute warnings for tropical cyclones as well as a data exchange service that relayed European weather analysis to the Bureau and vice versa. The first Weather Bureau radiosonde was launched in Massachusetts in 1937, which prompted a switch from routine aircraft observation to radiosondes within two years. The Bureau prohibited the word "tornado" from being used in any of its weather products out of concern for inciting panic (a move contradicted in its intentions by the high death tolls in past tornado outbreaks due to the lack of advanced warning) until 1938, when it began disseminating tornado warnings exclusively to emergency management personnel.
The Bureau would later be moved to the Department of Commerce in 1940. On July 12, 1950, bureau chief Francis W. Reichelderfer officially lifted the agency's ban on public tornado alerts in a Circular Letter, noting to all first order stations that "Weather Bureau employees should avoid statements that can be interpreted as a negation of the Bureau's willingness or ability to make tornado forecasts", and that a "good probability of verification" exist when issuing such forecasts due to the difficulty in accurately predicting tornadic activity. However it would not be until it faced criticism for continuing to refuse to provide public tornado warnings and preventing the release of the USAF Severe Weather Warning Center's tornado forecasts (pioneered in 1948 by Air Force Capt. Robert C. Miller and Major Ernest Fawbush) beyond military personnel that the Bureau issued its first experimental public tornado forecasts in March 1952. In 1957, the Bureau began using radars for short-term forecasting of local storms and hydrological events, using modified versions of those used by Navy aircraft to create the WSR-57 (Weather Surveillance Radar, 1957), with a network of WSR systems being deployed nationwide through the early 1960s; some of the radars were upgraded to WSR-74 models beginning in 1974.
The Weather Bureau became part of the Environmental Science Services Administration when that agency was formed in August 1966. The Environmental Science Services Administration was renamed the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on October 1, 1970, with the enactment of the National Environmental Policy Act. At this time, the Weather Bureau became the National Weather Service.[5] NEXRAD (Next Generation Radar), a system of Doppler radars deployed to improve the detection and warning time of severe local storms, replaced the WSR-57 and WSR-74 systems between 1988 and 1997

Greetings Dostoyevsky fans,
Ever wondered how much time one should spend reading the works of Dostoyevsky, the Master of Petersburg? The answer is of course, as long as it takes to read everything! But for those not sure, I wrote a post about a minor work of his, Netochka Nezvanova. To say that it was an important work for Dostoyevsky is a given: it was his first attempt at writing a full-blown novel. But to me this has a special place as it led me to realize not only the enormous greatness of Dostoyevsky as a writer in general (if a minor work of his resonates as well as a major one, that is a good sign right?) but as one of my favorite authors of all time.
Need more convincing? Read the article here.
A happy Advent to you all!
- Felix

Definitely should have done this at the beginning of the All-Star Break but now that the #NBATradeDeadline was more Dead than [on]Line what a great time to check in on the 89.5 Club Rankings!
If you missed the introduction to The 89.5 Club, then you can find that here. Ok…Since you didn't click on that link the 89.5 Club is based on this fact that:
89.5% of recent NBA Champions ranked in the top 12 in both Offensive and Defensive Rating.
*Recent includes the last 19 NBA Champions
**Offensive Rating is how many points scored per 100 possessions and Defensive Rating is the inverse, how many points allowed per 100 possessions.
A full list of those Champions, their rankings, and a more in-depth explanation can (again) be found here.
Last month there were seven total "Qualifiers" for the 89.5 Club (Warriors, Spurs, Heat, Cavs, Hornets, Raptors, Thunder) and five "Lurking" teams (Mavs, Magic, Pacers, Hawks, Clippers).
"Qualifiers" are teams that are in the top 12 in both offensive and defensive rating and "Lurking" teams have one or both of their ratings in the 13-15 range. (Last month I called them "On The Verge" teams).
Check out last months rankings here.
Since then:
- Five teams remained Qualifiers (Spurs, Warriors, Thunder, Raptors, Cavaliers)
- One jumped from Lurking to Qualifying (Clippers)
- One new team leapfrogged right into Qualifying status (Celtics)
- One team (Hornets) slipped from Qualifying to Lurking
- One team (Jazz) just started Lurking
- Joining one team (Hawks) who remain Lurking
- Three teams (Mavs, Pacers, Magic) have ceased from Lurking
- One team (Heat) has completely fallen off the rankings…
Here are the rankings through the All-Star Break.
89.5 Club Power Rankings
Teams are ranked in order of lowest combined rankings, grouped by Qualifiers or Lurking, and the previous months rankings are in parentheses.
Golden State Warriors
Offensive Rank: 1 (1)
Defensive Rank: 2 (3)
While the Dubs are still ahead of schedule in "The Chase for 73 Wins" their defense has improved two Rankings in a row. They initially ranked 5th in November's Rankings, but jumping to 3rd in December's Rankings, and are now in 2nd. However, they're still a full 4 points behind the Spurs in Defensive Rating. Even with Duncan missing time…good luck catching those guys…
San Antonio Spurs
Offensive Rank: 3 (3)
Defensive Rank: 1 (1)
The Spurs are holding their ground in both Offensive & Defensive Rating. Which is interesting because they scored 5.2 more points per game and allowed 10.9 more points per game in January than they did in December. This is obviously due to a change in pace (number of possessions per 48 minutes). The Spurs were on a 95.6 Pace this year but amped that up to 97.38 since the last 89.5 Rankings; probably due to the fact that Tim Duncan missed 9 of the last 19 games. Even without their mainstay franchise player the Spurs find themselves as Qualifiers.
Cleveland Cavaliers
Offensive Rank: 4 (9)
Defensive Rank: 7 (5)
In December the Cavs' offense diminished to the tune of 95.2 points per game but in January and the start of February they've ramped up to 107.3. Some of this improvement seems to be a direct result of the firing of David Blatt/promoting of Tyronn Lue. In 41 games under David Blatt the Cavs scored 101.4 points per game and in the 11 games since Lue took over they've scored 108.5. However, there was a lot of talk that the Cavaliers were going to "play faster" but look at the numbers:
- Pace Under Blatt: 95.05 (28th)
- Pace Under Lue: 95.55 (26th)
Boston Celtics
Offensive Rank: 9 (18)
Defensive Rank: 3 (2)
Dang. What a leap. The Celtics have been mostly doing this, like they do most things, by committee. In this stretch the Celtics have seven double digit scorers (Thomas, Bradley, Crowder, Olynk, Sullinger, Smart, Turner) with all seven of those guys increasing their scoring averages from the months before. Now in the Top 10 in Offensive Rating, the Celtics are a legit contender and now qualifiers.
Oklahoma City Thunder
Offensive Rank: 2 (2)
Defensive Rank: 10 (12)
These rankings for the Thunder don't tell the whole story. The Thunder remain at #2 in Offensive Rating despite increasing their Rating by 0.7 points, but even though they jumped into the top 10 in Defensive Rating their rating increased by 1.1 points (which is bad on the defense end). These changes are fairly insignificant the Thunder are still rolling winning 81% (17-4) of their games in January & February and still qualify for the 89.5 Club.
Toronto Raptors
Offensive Rank: 6 (8)
Defensive Rank: 9 (8)
Fresh off hosting a great All-Star weekend the Raptors are still cruising comfortably in the 89.5 Club. Four teams have two 20+ Point Per Game Scorers:
- Thunder: Durant & Westbrook
- Warriors: Curry & Thompson
- Trailblazers: Lillard & McCollum
- Raptors: Lowry & DeRozan
Lowry & DeRozan seem to be genuinely enjoying playing together too.
Atlanta Hawks
Offensive Rank: 15 (6t)
Defensive Rank: 5 (13)
In the same fashion as the Thunder the Hawks ratings barely change (-0.7 Offensive Rating, -1.1 Defensive Rating) but their Rankings completely flipped, weird. Atlanta's core survived the Trade Deadline but didn't make any other changes either, so they're probably going to just remain lurking through the end of the season.
Utah Jazz
Offensive Rank: 10t (15t)
Defensive Rank: 14 (18)
Defensively the Jazz's defense was bolstered by having Rudy Gobert back after missing 20 games in the first half of the season. The Jazz win 60% of the games when Gobert is playing and their Offensive Rating is almost 5 points higher when he's on the floor, the Stifle Tower is a pretty big deal. The Jazz are trending in the right direction; sliding right into the 8th spot in the West and the five teams below them are either a mess (Rockets, Kings, Pelicans) or just young (Nuggets, Timberwolves).
Charlotte Hornets
Offensive Rank: 13 (6t)
Defensive Rank: 12 (9t)
The Hornets may have made the best deal of the Trade Deadline by not acquiring Dwight Howard. I was having a conversation about Howard with resident Hornets-Fan-Friend Ian Hill today and we both decided that Dwight is basically an instant team killer. Take a look at his last three destinations:
- Orlando: Stan VanGundy fired…
- Lakers: Mike Brown fired…
- Rockets: Kevin McHale fired…
The fit on the court might be there but Dwight wants to be a first option on offense and that doesn't match what the Hornets are trying to do. So Hornets fans should be happy they didn't get Dwight, but Steve Clifford might be even happier.
