Regardless of whether this Braves' season ends in a division title, a wild card berth or one minor spasm short of the playoffs, this much can be said about them: They chose the most difficult way to get there.
Fall behind? Rally late.
Lose four regulars? Start an outfield worthy of camp Disney but somehow get by.
Drop game one of the series (again)? Feh! Come back and win the next two (again).
"I don't know what the [expletive] is wrong with us – we lose the first game every time," Bobby Cox said Sunday, the sting of those words softened by a slight smile and a post-game victory cigar.
They won again Sunday, 7-5. They won after blowing an early 3-0 lead and falling behind, 5-3, thanks to another dreadful start by Derek Lowe (20 hits and 13 runs, 11 earned, allowed in his last 8 2/3 innings). They won despite missing Nate McLouth and Garret Anderson and Martin Prado and Ryan Church or any semblance of a bench (pinch hitter: Javier Vazquez).
"Shorthanded is an understatement," Chipper Jones said. "We've got nobody."
Slight overstatement. They've got Brian McCann, who drove in five runs with a three-run crush job in the first and a tie-breaking two-run single in the eighth. They've also got a bullpen that held the Marlins to two hits after Lowe was carried out in the fifth.
Mostly, they have resolve.
They have lost game one in seven straight series of three games or more. But they have come back to win four of the last five of those series.
Just to be clear, Matt Diaz said: "We prefer not to lose game one. We would like to reverse that trend."
How does this end? We can't possibly know.
But this team is unique. It scraps, maybe like no Braves team we've seen in a while. Many point to the improved depth. That's a factor. But it goes beyond that.
"You have a team where everybody wants to play," coach Terry Pendleton said. "You have a team of guys who all know how to prepare themselves and work hard in the cage and in the field. We've had a few other teams where guys showed up every day. But this one stands out because a number of guys have been hurt but guys have stepped in to help the team keep pace. That says a lot."
They are now a season-high eight games over .500 (66-58). Since June 28, they own the second-best record in the National League (32-18). The Phillies remain furlongs ahead in the East (6 ½ games with three games in hand). But Colorado is only four ahead in the wild card race, and the Braves have moved to within a game of second place San Francisco in that chase.
How did they make it this close? Still trying to figure that one out.
Cox: "We've been scrambling."
Frank Wren: "There's some resiliency there."
Jones: "I like the fact that guys don't hang their heads and remain confident and play better than we did after losing the first game. We come back late, we win on walk-off hits – all those things build character.
"If we can get to 10 games over .500 by the end of this month, with a ton of games left in our division, I like our chances, if not in the East, then the wild card."
Lose one, win two. It's not the path most chosen. Or preferred.
But the math works out the same.

Jeff, The Braves have been playing very well lately, especially with basicially their entire outfield gone.
I keep hoping that we can hit an even hotter streak, to catch Colorado. At 66-58, with 38 games left, if we play at our current pace of 8 games over the rest of the way, that would mean we would go 23-15, and finish with 89 wins. In other years, 89 would have gotten us a wild card, and even an NL East title. I'm thinking that we have to hope Colorado hits a dry spell, and that we can play something like maybe 25-13 or 26-12, to get us into the 90 plus win column. Joe Simpson and John Shambi said on Sports South today, that they thought 91 wins would be enough for the wild card. The way we've been playing, we can do that, but we have to hope a few other teams slow up.
Hopefully, our injured guys can get back soon. I really like the way this team is playing lately. Hopefully, we can make a run and get the wild card.

Why Chipper always the one quoted and talking about the resolve and "having no one" and sure outs earlier in the year? The sure out is Chipper – followed closely by Johnson and Norton. Since Cox will not release Norton I can only hope he will not be hitting once the September call ups arrive. I realize Chipper has earned the right based on career performance not be benched – but thinking Cox should give him a series off when Prado, McLouth, Church return – can stick Infante at 3rd for a series, maybe then Chipper will get in gear. They need him down the stretch as I doubt McCann, as good as he is, can keep up this pace.
August 23rd, 2009
7:29 pm
The Braves have a proven pinch hitter in Brooks Conrad at Gwinnett. Or, he could be starting at 2nd base, if KJ continues to struggle. Norton just isn't a viable pinch hitter this year, for whatever reason.
August 23rd, 2009
7:29 pm
It has been years since I enjoyed a Braves season like I have this year.
Injuries are killing the Braves but they are winning anyway. Four to five starters out this entire series & they win anyway.
God I love baseball!
August 23rd, 2009
7:33 pm
We was doing the math and Jeff is right, this is doable. Now, Jeff has a quote from Chipper so we know they was talking today. What we want to know is if Jeff asked Chipper about the deerskin glove? Rumor has it that Chipper's switched to deerskin and that's why he can't catch a cold. We was at the game Saturday night and a ball landed in that deerskin glove and popped right out.
Made on the ranch was what we was told. Lots of deerskin on the ranch.
We was wondering if we'd get a call tonight from New York. Somebody hit into an unassisted triple play to end the game and let Lidge escape from another beating. When we was playing ball together back in school we was always talking about the triple play but we never seen one. Now, we've hit into one.
We was watching Bobby in the dugout last night and he was leaning against the wall and strategizing real hard about the three run homer. We was pretty sure that's why those runs didn't score with men on and nobody out.

I'm just glad we are in the playoff hunt in late Aug. Last year this time the Bravos were toast. Fun to watch a gritty team and notice we are winning even while Chipper is battling a horrible hitting slump.
August 23rd, 2009
7:37 pm
Man, is Lowe a train wreck. If someone had told you that 124 games in, the biggest pitching acquisition would have an ERA nearing 5 and the Braves would still have a chance, would you seriously have believed it? Not me. But here they are.
August 23rd, 2009
7:43 pm
Gotta get Prado and McClouth healthy and Chipper being Chipper and Lowe being Lowe again! They are a fun bunch to watch though. The Braves keep teasin' and I keep believin'!
August 23rd, 2009
7:58 pm
Once the outfield is healthy does Bobby pull Diaz right away against righty pitchers? Really to me it's better for either McClouth or Anderson to be hurt, because that keeps Diaz in there every game where he should be. But I know how Bobby acts in those situations many times.
August 23rd, 2009
8:13 pm
I really hope we make the playoffs, but if we don't, I will still view it as a great season. We are doing much better than I expected back in April. I always thought that 2010 was when we would break out and contend. I really like this team, and I have to commend Frank Wren for what he has done to improve this team.
I hope he gets the credit he deserves for the Vazquez trade. Javy has been one of the best pitchers in the National League, and is pitching like the ace we always wanted. Now, the question is, would there be any possible way to move Lowe to make room for Hudson? I would like to see this rotation: Vazquez, Jurrjens, Hudson, Hanson, Kawakami
August 23rd, 2009
8:22 pm
Whether we make the playoffs or not this has been a really enjoyable season. I've got more hope for the future than I've had in a long time.
August 23rd, 2009
8:23 pm
Great day for baseball. We had 10th row behind home plate to see the Braves rally for a 7-5 win over the Marlins, propelling us into 2nd place.
Meanwhile in NY, Jeff Francouer hits into only the second game-ending unassisted triple play in history.
Man, I love this game.
August 23rd, 2009
8:25 pm
Ok enough of this "FIRST" bull$#!T. Seriously, grow up folks.
August 23rd, 2009
8:25 pm
Jeff, we was reading up on deerskin. Deerskin leather is very soft and supple. It is ranked as the third strongest leather available but because deerskin is so elastic the leather can stretch out too much and then catching becomes difficult. We suspect that is what is going on with Chipper Jones. Playing with a deerskin glove makes sense when everybody else is using something else and you want to sell them some deerskin gloves made on the ranch. Still, catching something every now and then will make it work better. Marketing is marketing, though. We was never much into marketing when we was playing ball together back in school but we marketed Delta for a little while before we messed up.
We was noticing last night what a good pitcher Gonzales is. He works fast and the team seems to pick up when he's in there. He goes after the hitter. We was always doing that back when we was playing ball together.
Last thing is, we was thinking Bobby looks a lot smarter when the pitchers are going good.
August 23rd, 2009
8:26 pm
"Scrambling" is putting it mildlly. I just don't see how they can continue to "scramble" and be in the playoff mix. Consistency – something the Braves lack significantly on offense – is critical.
August 23rd, 2009
8:30 pm
This has been quite an achievement, especially considering the number of injuries on top of Chipper's slump. This team has had quality pitching most of the year, but now it is showing much more intelligence at the plate and they have developed heart. I think they started developing heart and gain confidence in themselves during the series against the Red Sox at Boston (when that jerk umpire Hohn stole a game away from us and threw Cox, Chipper and the pitcher out). Also, credit needs to go to the man who is guiding them – Bobby Cox.
August 23rd, 2009
8:31 pm
Jeff what happened to all that "I'm gonna blog about coolstandings, and how to actually think about the odds that the Braves make the playoffs" talk???
August 23rd, 2009
8:33 pm
And nice to see Greg "Rally Killer" Norton at the plate today with men in scoring position.
I'm sure the guy is a fine fellow, but for the life of me I can't figure out why the H-double-hockey-stickes he is still on this team.
August 23rd, 2009

The Bravos in the postseason hunt; the Falcons; Tech about to start their season; college & pro football about to dominate the media. Now this is the time of the year we can all enjoy.
August 23rd, 2009
8:39 pm
Stinky Wintes was one of the best pinch hitters in high school ball. Stinky come to the plate ready to do some damage. When the pitcher rared back, so did Stinky. Then, he swung real hard and if he made contact that ball would go. If he didn't get contact the scent of Stinky Wintes hung in the air and the ump would try to get him on base as quick as he could and away from the plate. Norton may be the next Stinky Wintes. He's got nothing to lose.

August 23rd, 2009
8:41 pm
I love the team. I'm behind Frank Wren all the way, his moves proving themselves again and again, Not sure what he could do about all the injuries, nor Lowe's current downturn. But there is one move left: Norton. Great guy, but they need a better bat in those situations. Maybe Brooks Conrad, maybe someone else. But Frank, it's time. Could be a difference maker in one or two games, and as tight as all this is getting, that could spell OCTOBER BASEBALL. Or could spell FISHING and HUNTING for our guys.I still think they are built for the the post-season. Just gotta get there, which is proving harder than playing in Fall baseball itself might be for this gritty, pitching solid team could prove itself to be.

Jeff, we was wondering if you could use some help moving to Dunwoody? We was always moving people when we was out of work before we caught on with the second shift. We could move you over there with no trouble at all and without breaking nothing. We was wondering if the sports department is going to have its own room anymore or will it be merging with somebody else like gardening? If the new offices is narrow like the new paper we could help you find some narrower stuff to move. Let us know what you think.
August 23rd, 2009

We need Matt Holliday and one more big bat!
August 23rd, 2009
9:02 pm
Schultzie – I'm loving the spunk in the Braves lately, but I'm thinking that Lowe is going to cost us big time. Two straight games he coughed up big leads early. This is Jo Jo Reyes/Chuck James style. They can't afford to have this guy go to crap right now. What do you think?
Are you getting excited about the upcoming high holiday season? Tekiah!!! Shevarim!!! Teruah!!!
August 23rd, 2009
9:07 pm
It's easy math right now. To win the wild card, the Braves have to gain a game on the Rockies every week for the rest of the season. I think there are five weeks left, so that would put Atlanta on top by a game. This assumes that nobody else in the wild card goes Phillies hot, but that's a pretty good strategy. Shoot, gain a game four out of five weeks and you at least get a playoff.
As far as the division, forget that mess unless there's a sweep of the last series with Philly. They're just too good over the long haul to make up 6 or 7 games unless Atlanta pulls off one of those insane streaks.
August 23rd, 2009
9:11 pm
It is interesting to see Colorado loading up with veterans that nobody else wants for the roster expansion…is that a better gamble than pulling up kids from triple A? Also unless the Rockies fall of the map I think the wildcard will take 93 wins…that is where the Rockies will be if they go 23-15 (.56) the rest of the way which based on their schedule is almost easy to do
August 23rd, 2009
9:48 pm
We need Chipper now more than at any time this season, but it doesn't appear its coming. The elephant in the room, i.e. The question everyone is painfully yet transparently trying to avoid (and somebody, oh maybe a sports JOURNALIST with some stones should really ask) is "Is Chipper just having a bad year, or, is this finally the "beginning of the end" for the 37 year old everyday player with all the bad toes and strained oblique's? The lack of HR's was surely just chalked up to age, but we could always rely on the Average and RBI right? Now Mr. Wren finds himself surely avoiding this question.
Because the GM who clearly showed his strategy of Waiting-till-next-year with the (painfully Vanilla) LaRoche trade at the deadline, forget to tell the actual players on his squad! Now he has a team scrapping like Heck to make this post-season, missing THE one ingredient the GM THOUGHT he had…Mighty Chipper at the Bat. Taint happenin.
August 23rd, 2009
9:52 pm
Unfortunately, the way the Phils and Rocks are playing, the Braves need to wine about 90% of the rest of their games to have any chance. Maybe 90 wins total…may not be enough for even the wildcard. But hey! I will take just missing the playoffs knowing that we will rock next year to fading back to last years' team.
August 23rd, 2009
10:01 pm
We saw Julia and Mike last night and we was hoping to maybe catch on with the new paper at moving time. We was thinking maybe me and you could ride in together. That way, we could give you some questions to ask at the ballpark and it wouldn't be so hard and all with writing all the blogs, too. When we was playing ball together sometimes we would interview Jeff after a big game and write it up for the school paper so we've got some credentials. When we was playing ball together we was almost inseperable unless we wrote something Jeff didn't like. That's why we understand you not wanting to ask Chipper about the deerskin glove. The glove may not be the only one that's a little tender.
August 23rd, 2009
10:08 pm
Chipper's career is on a downward spiral and he's the highest paid player on the team, man did management blow it again. Shades of Andruw Jones repeating history, coming off a big year with a big contract and fading for the rest of the contract period. Something should have been obvious to the top guys from last year. He hit over .340 and had less than 100 rbi's, which means a lot of those hits were when men weren't on base in front of him. We know he never hit well in the world series (and mostly not during the playoffs either). I wonder if the Braves could trade him before next year to a team that's one player away from being a good team, like Minnesota or Cleveland, and maybe unload some of his contract as well. It should be obvious now that the Braves have a couple of players that can fill in for Chipper and hit for a higher average, and probably play better defense.
August 23rd, 2009
10:15 pm
Pretty stoked about having Lowe for the next two years @ 20 mil.
Medlin deserves some recognition; kid has come around.
Greg Norton must be real close with Bobby Cox – the commitment to this guy is amazing.
We left eleven on base today….
August 23rd, 2009
10:16 pm
OK, Schultz, you cracked me up with the High Holidays riff. To what address shall I send my basket o' sweetness? (And is the Sept. stretch drive the reason we've seen so few top-notch Jewish ballplayers, Hank Greenberg notwithstanding? And even he refused to play ball on Yom Kippur, I must add…)
August 23rd, 2009
10:17 pm
Hey Navigator shut the hell up, Chipper is the man.
August 23rd, 2009
10:27 pm
Now the team has guys like Ryan Church, McCann, Matt Diaz… that play HARD. Chipper is older but he's still got great focus. While that isn't normally Laroche's forte… guys got decent pop isn't an easy out this time of year and he plays a good first base.
If they didn't have Lowe they wouldn't have a chance this year, if they didn't overpay Lowe… he wouldn't be here. At least he's pitching. Slumps happen, he'll come out of it, and he's not just making 50 million while "rehabing his sore pectorals…"
Still love what Frank Wren has done so far.
August 23rd, 2009
10:35 pm
I think missing a start would be beneficial for LOWE. He's just older. I think he needs a break. Let MEDLIN have a start in his place, and later in the season HUDSON if he's ready.
BTW JEFF, we buried the BRAVES in late-June, but these zombies just keep rising from the grave. Maybe they should adopt that nick-name this season. They just won't be stopped.
August 23rd, 2009
10:36 pm
Looks like teams will start pitching to CHIPPER again with BRIAN back on the tom-o-hawk trail.
August 23rd, 2009
10:44 pm
Is there a stat in baseball on the average number of pitches a batter takes per at bat? Maybe a player like Kelly Johnson has more value than most of us give him credit for. In today's stats versus the Marlins, Johnson had 29 pitches thown him. McCann had 16 pitches. Making a pitcher go deep into the count shortens the time a pitcher will be in the game.
Also — could you ask some of the Braves if fouling off pitches a skill that they work on in batting practice. Does Kelly Johnson work on this or is it just something that happens?
August 23rd, 2009
10:46 pm
GG…. 2 bad Colorado didnt loose. We gotta go on a winning streak while Colorado has this tough schedule coming up.
How about SMOLTZ!! wheres all the idiots that said he was "washed up"!?? I told everyone on here he wasnt done, and i was right! 9k, 5in, 0 runs. Look for Smoltz to be an important piece of the Cardinals run to the World Series!
August 23rd, 2009
10:55 pm
"We've had a few other teams where guys showed up every day"
Was that a shot at Jeff Francour? Cause up until last year, Jeff had the longest active streak for consecutive games played.

If I had to sum up Berlin in one word, I would probably say… tote bag. It is simple, easy, cool and stylish without pretention. More than tote bags, the city is full of bicycles, little cafés, bearded boys and short haired girls. Oh and art. Berlin seems to be the perfect place for street artists and other thinkers who want to share their message with the world.
Before going into details and copy pasting a dozen flickr codes, let me introduce you to my 2 companions. Or should I call them, the littles! Little cousin Eli from Montreal and her very good friend Arca, who just came back from a year off in the Philipines. I'm telling you, these kids are cool at an early age nowadays. Here they are at Bateau Ivre, checking out the wine menu when we were actually there for breakfast. The yummiest breakfast I ever had by the way, but I will go back to this subject later.
Allright, allright. I'm lazy talking. Pictures it is.
It was very hot. And that's what Berliners do when it's hot. They hang out by the river while listening to minimal electro music and smoke weed.
Berlin-raised Katharina happened to be in town at the same time, we had to celebrate with one of these yummy Eiskaffees ;)
She even took us on a nice ride in the warm night. Awesome.
Beer makes me happy. Especially when it's 2€ a bottle.
Graffiti and bikes seem to get along well.
And here are my favorite spots… the cafés. I know Paris is already full of them, but it seems that each café in Berlin has its own identity and fun design.
Not to mention their delicious snacks!
Yeah we're food lovers. One night we were craving chocolate cake, it only took us a few minutes to find that cute little spot by Oranienstraße.
The infamous €3 watermelon cocktails…
And so here we are. DAS Frühstück. At Marx cafe. I think the picture pretty much talks for itself.
Most of the pictures above were taken in the Kreuzberg area a.k.a. the coolest area ever.
On another note, it's obvious that despite the current good economic context in Germany, Berlin still suffers from its DDR days. Hopefully things will get better soon, without changing the atypical look of this singular city.

Comments about RODE K2 Multi Pattern Condenser Microphone:
I've been shifting away from electronic music and working on more indie/shoegazey material as of late, and I've been fighting my vocal takes tooth and nail. I've been using a Neumann tlm-103 and have also tried an AT-4040 and the results have been less than spectacular. The 103 has been coming off as too up-front and lacks dynamics, and the at-4040 has been giving me a lot of midrange discoloration. The major x-factor in my process is the room I record in, where I have some padding put up to flatten things, but could be much better insulated. Basically, I'm saying that results could vary for you.
I got the K2 home today and did back-to-back-to-back recordings with the 3 mics for comparison. I got the usual results with the 103 and 4040, but I must say that the K2 has completely decimated the other mics in all of my testing so far. Where the 103 is very in-your-face and the 4040's been real heavy in the middle, the K2 has a steady and balanced character. In cardoid mode you can hear the higher range boost, but it's been complimentary on both my vocals and acoustic guitar work I've recorded tonight. The end result has been a bright and vibrant product where all of the frequencies come through nice. I also like the fact that everything I've recorded tonight has been sitting well in my mixes with little work done. Normally with the 103 I'd have to pull out some bass and spike the high end a bit, but this hasn't been the case at all with the K2. In Omni mode very little changes, you can hear the brightness fall off like the frequency response chart indicates, but it's not drastic or detrimental. Omni mode really exposed my room for its bad acoustics during some scratch vocal takes, but an acoustic guitar take recorded in Omni felt like I had reverb on it with a small room setting, and none-the-less came out really clean.
Rode has been getting really high marks lately for putting out mics that exceed their price tag in terms of quality. And I must say, I've worked with many different mics aside from the ones I own and the K2 stands toe to toe with the best ones I've worked with. A review I'd read of this mic had the author guessing it'd be selling for $2000, and I'd agree with that assessment. For its price, you're paying substantially less than what the mic could reasonably sell for, and IMO it's a must-have, especially if you're limited on funds and need something that will perform strong and be versatile.

If you don't have one. You don't know what you're missing. It truely has the sound of far more expensive mic. It's up front and thick and quiet as can be. I've cut scratch vocals with it with no prep and without even trying to get a great take and it still sounds unbelievable!
Comments about RODE K2 Multi Pattern Condenser Microphone:
"Absolutely stunned with this mic the second I hooked it up. It was WELL worth $[...], and performs flawlessly next to a $2,000 Neumann...hands down. Very low-noise, outstanding overall warmth, unmathed construction, and great accessories. If you have [...] to spend on a mic, spend it. I swear you won't believe your ears! "

text: SNOQUALMIE PASS, Wash.-Three people are dead after a wrong way driver-involved crash on Snoqualmie Pass. Two other people are critically injured. The driver was traveling eastbound in the westbound lanes of interstate 90 and hit one car, causing it to roll over. The wrong-way driver then continued for several miles before colliding head-on with another car. Both the driver and passenger in the wrong-way vehicle, and a person from one of the struck vehicles died.

There's an old wives' tale, dating back to the days of the bubonic plague, that sliced onions placed throughout the dwelling will ward off the illness. The onion, it's true, is absorbent like a sponge. Its ability to soak up bubonic plague (or cold and flu) nasties? Though there's no scientific evidence to support this, you'll find those who swear by its magically absorbent flesh.
Here's the way I look at it – it's like a winning streak in any area of life: if you're on roll because you're wearing a certain pair of undies or eating a particular breakfast cereal, then you are! If you believe you didn't get sick this flu season (or had a shorter run of flu symptoms) because there's a sliced onion next to your bed, then you did. What do you have to lose this cold and flu season? It's a couple of bucks for a sack of onions. So buy 'em up and see what happens. And in the process, you'll enjoy some of these non-cooking related benefits:
- Rust removal: Those rust spots on kitchen knives or utility slicers are no match for the onion. Rub a sliced onion on the blades or simply plunge your knife into a large onion several times.
- Elimination of odors: That new paint on the walls is great to look at, but the smell can linger. Place a few onion slices in a bowl of water in the room and giddy-up.
- Clean the grill: Stick a fork in a sliced-in-half onion and rub that baby on the grill grate to prep your grill for storage or just the next go 'round tomorrow night.
- Onions are natural remedies for bee stings, a solid smelling salts alternative (you know, because most of us don't have smelling salts handy), and can polish up your metals. You can even use the skins as a dye. If you need a recipe, let me know – or just Google it up.
Happy slicing, and here's to a healthier cold and flu season!

Q&A: How soon after a loss can you get pregnant again?
I recently lost a baby mid January. I was in a car accident. I wanted to know how soon after delievery does ovulation occur? I have symptoms that I may be pregnant again nausea, sore breasts, and elevated bbt, is it possible to concieve so soon after a delievery?
It's probably too soon to be pregnant. However, depending how far pregnant you were after losing your baby, you may still have some hCG in your blood that could still give you a positive pregnancy test, confusing everyone. I am sorry for your loss, and it's hard not to fixate on trying to replace what you've lost, but it takes about 3 months to get over something like this enough to deal with it psychologicially, so I'd wait until then before aggressively trying to conceive again.

Fire tore through the clubhouse building at the Horse & Hunt Club in Prior Lake, Minn., early Tuesday morning, destroying plans for a New Year's Eve celebration in the process.
The cause of the fire is unknown, but the owners hope to find out soon. One of the main attractions of the business was the clubhouse restaurant and bar with the banquet hall, known as Trigger's Saloon and Supper Club -- but that hosting area is now reduced to rubble.
SKYFOX9 caught footage of the flames from above the clubhouse, located at 3300 220th St. E, after the fire was reported just after 6 a.m. By the time firefighters arrived, the clubhouse was fully engulfed.
No one was injured, but crews struggled to extinguish the flames on what was a brutally cold and windy day. In the end, the building was gutted. With the structure deemed a total loss, the owners canceled the big New Year's Eve bash they had planned there.
Despite the devastating loss, the owners have already pledged to rebuild -- and quickly.
"This operation is 600 acres, and out on the grounds is where the real heart of the Horse & Hunt Club is," Bill Urseth said. "What it is is a building, and it was important -- but it's a building we can rebuild; a place we can replace. The core of the business is the outdoor recreation, and that continues."
The Minnesota State Pheasant Championship hunting competition will still be held at the location this weekend as scheduled.
Many weddings had been booked at the banquet hall, but owners insist they will have a new building built in time for wedding season so they can honor all the reservations they have already set for this summer.

PlayStation All-Stars likely coming to Vita
The PlayStation Vita was essentially pitched as a portable PS3. While that's not quite accurate in raw technical prowess, Sony and some third-parties have been eager to produce cross-compatible games that can work in tandem between the platforms. So it only makes sense that PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, Sony's own franchise-blending super group of a game, would fit this mold as well. We've gotten one strong new hint that indicates that's the case.
A Superannuation tweet points to a domain registration for BattleRoyaleTheGameVita.com. It was registered on May 24, to (shock) Sony Computer Entertainment America. The conclusion seems pretty obvious.
This is likely to be part of Sony's revelations during E3, as it makes the case for Vita's upcoming year after a somewhat rocky start. We'll be there to cover the official announcement with any as-yet unknown cross-system features.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – Art Sherman received the package from California last week. A package always arrives early in the week when Sherman's precocious 3-year-old, California Chrome, is scheduled to race.
The package contains jockey silks, the trademark purple and green silks with the buck-toothed jackass on the back, the ones that represent Dumbass Partners stable.
Every time California Chrome wins a race, Steve Coburn, one of the colt's owners, asks Sherman, his trainer, and jockey Victor Espinoza, to sign the silks. Coburn puts them in a glass case. History, memories, preserving the moment and all that good stuff.
Well, I'll let Sherman take the story from there.
"So now (in Louisville) he sent me three new silks," Sherman said. "One of them was for the Kentucky Derby. The other one is for the Preakness. The other one is for the Belmont.
"So I said 'Wow, let's roll.'
"We got the Kentucky Derby one done, let's see what the Preakness looks like."
What the Preakness looks like is a race that California Chrome should win. It's a sixteenth of a mile shorter than the Derby -- and the colt was cruising by closer to five lengths at that point in the race at Churchill Downs.
The colt won the Derby the way a good horse is supposed to win the Derby – by stalking the pace for about a mile and then running away from the field the rest of the way.
This wasn't a victory you could credit to racing luck or tired horses blocking the path of other contenders.
California Chrome was the best horse. The end.
He's been the best horse in the race the last five times he's moved into the starting gate, even though knocking California Chrome was something I heard everywhere at Churchill Downs last week.
Doesn't have the bloodlines. Hasn't won outside of California. Doesn't like having dirt kicked into his face. Acts up in the starting gate and doesn't leave the way he should. His trainer had never prepared a horse for a Triple Crown race. Bad breath. Silly name.
Am I forgetting anything?
"Maybe they had their doubts this horse wasn't a runner," Sherman said. "You always hear, 'Oh, he didn't look good on the track. He didn't do this. He didn't do that.'
"If you run against him, you find out, he's the real McCoy, this one."
You do. But you don't.
Sherman is about to find out about that, too. Skeptics line both sides of the track when a horse pursues a Triple Crown. It's mandatory.
Even though California Chrome won the Kentucky Derby with gusto, you're already hearing reasons why the colt might not carry his dominance to Baltimore May 17. His winning time – 2:03.66 – was uninspiring for a fast track.
Write this down as something critics will be chirping about until the starting gate opens at the Preakness:
California Chrome's Beyer speed figure for the Derby was 97. That is the slowest winning speed figure for any Derby or Preakness winner since The Daily Racing Form started using handicapper Andrew Beyer's figures in a horse's past performance charts in 1992.
That is guaranteed to make the next two-to-five weeks more fun. There will be non-stop squawking about how good this colt really is.
Coburn is already thinking Triple Crown and said so in the post-Derby press conference. Sensible racing fans aren't ready to have that conversation yet, not with memories of I'll Have Another, Big Brown, Smarty Jones, Real Quiet, Sunday Silence, Spectacular Bid and the others who learned how unforgiving the Triple Crown can be.
For now Sherman says he will try not to worry about it. The post-Derby party lasted until 1:30 in the morning. He slept 2 ½ hours before returning to check on California Chrome.
Sherman will fly home to California Monday and rejoin his colt in Baltimore at Pimlico on May 12.
Can California Chrome win the Triple Crown?
"I don't know," Sherman said. "I just know that when you lead him over there, he'll be the horse to beat."

A second snap of severe weather whipped through the region on Easter Sunday, leaving two Shreveport families shaken up after a huge tree crushed one house and damaged another.
"It felt like something had hit the house like a car or something," said Rachel Sharp, whose Easter holiday took a turn, when strong winds slapped this tree onto her house, sticking limbs through this window and crushing two cars. Once Sharp realized her family was okay, she asked her husband to check on the family of five that lives next door. "I didn't know it was this bad, until we walked out the front door," said Sharp's husband Scott.
The neighbors house was crushed. He and another neighbor kicked in the door, to find all of the walls had caved in."Finding someone not alive, that was my worst fear," said Sharp. But that fear, didn't come true because nobody was home.
Katrina Hanely stood in front of her ruined house Sunday, wiping away tears. "I knew it was bad, but I didn't know it was going to be bad as it was," said Hanely. Although everyone is safe, its hard for her to not wonder what could have happened to her family, had they been home. Now as they begin picking up the pieces, support from the neighborhood is pouring in. Both families say they are counting their blessings knowing everyone is safe.

The Clinic
Dr. Joshis' Homoeopathic Clinic is situated in the plush and quiet suburb of Vile Parle East in Mumbai. The couple has been associated with Homoeopathy since the past 19 years and believes it is the right answer to several problems of today's
Modern World.
The meditative room
or the Study is where you are interviewed for the first time.
Here the ambience is set to make you comfortable and put you at peace and cut you off from the rest of the world. The talk in this room starts from knowing your complaints and deepens to know more about you and your personality .All patients go into a meditative and introspective phase during the interview and experience and understand so many things deep within their subconscious that they had no clue existed .
The consulting room:
Here the ambience is set for a proper medical examination, investigation and evaluation. During follow-ups you will be examined and further evaluated in this room.
The waiting room
A brightly coloured room, the ambience of it welcomes you to the world of healthy living. You will be offered a cup of green tea to relax yourself and gather yourself well before the consultation begins. You can read Dr. Bhawisha's book and ideas on healing and health while sipping your tea or watch David Attenborough's series on different animal behaviours. After all aren't we animals too. Games and books for children along with special chairs and tables make it a pleasant wait for our little friends who otherwise are terrorised by the idea of clinics.
Three fold regime:
Our prime concern is to give immediate attention to the existing complaints of pain, pressure, fever, cough etc.
But the next target is to see that the immunity is raised to a level that the problem does not strike again.
The ultimate target, however, is to diagnose minute stress points and loop holes in the personal-ity. These are gradually reduced to a level where they do not cause strain and therefore do not lead to any other physical problems.
Minimum wait time:
The clinic infrastructure, schedule and facilities are designed in such a way that every patient gets adequate quality time with the doctors.
Dr. Joshis Care
has the policy of minimum waiting time. Hence all appointments, New case & follow-ups, are strictly by appointments only. This nullifies our patients' waiting time and their inconvenience.
You will often not see long queues at the clinic for the same reason.
The first intake
The first consultation is a two hour- long interview .The entire interview is video-recorded. It is essential that everything said, every gesture made and all the dynamism at the time of the interview is captured and nothing misses the doctors attention.
To know more about the process of case taking & its experience
The unique features of the Clinic
Computerized Analysis:
The next step is analysis of the interview and coming to the remedy. The doctors use the most advanced and extensive software in Homoeopathy-
"The Mac Repertory and Reference Works" for every patient.
The medication is dispensed from the clinic itself. The medicines are high quality natural products obtained from reliable pharmacies across the country & from Helios pharmacy, London & Remedia Homoeopathic pharmacy, Vienna, Austria.
Along with the medication you receive instructions and precautions regarding the medication.
Diet and Regimen:
You can also avail the facility of dietary advice taking into account your weight, desired calorie intake and your nutritional requirement.
Ask the clinic for an appointment and charges for the same.
The patient is called in every month to assess the progress of the treatment. These visits are also video-recorded to note the changes in the patient during the course of treatment.
Follow-ups through video conference:
Patients who have consulted with Dr. Joshis have the advantage of visiting Dr. Joshis' for a follow up via video conference if they cannot make it to the clinic for a follow up.
Assistant Doctors:
The clinic always has assistant doctors who are trained under Dr. Joshis. The doctors are available at the clinic to answer all your queries & help you in acute emergencies. When Dr. Joshis are travelling abroad for their seminar the assistant Doctors are available as per the clinic scheduled timings.
Dr. Priyanka Salvi
A graduate from Aurangabad, and perusing her master's degree in Homoeopathy, Dr. Priyanka has been working at the clinic for the past 1 year. Dedicated, intelligent & hardworking are some of her important attributes. She is good clinician & is assisting the doctors in making of their forthcoming book on Animal remedies. She is available at the clinic every day & until 8 pm on Wednesdays & Thursdays.
Dr. Karishma Jumani
A fresh graduate from Mumbai. She is very enthusiastic and eager to learn. She has been working as an observer at the clinic for few months & now has joined the clinic as an assistant.
Emergency Medical Kit:
Common problems of travel like diarrhoeas, infections, sunstroke, coughs, and colds, minor injuries etc. can be handled with our First-Aid kit effectively. The kit comes with all the necessary instructions for its appropriate use.
Our travel kit is on display at the Science museum, London.
Long distance and Overseas patients:
Our medicines are regularly posted and couriered to different parts of India and the world except for countries which have custom prohibition on import of medications.

The New Jersey Devils raced to an early 3-0 lead, saw is slip away, then broke the tie late in the third period to claim a 3-2 series lead, winning Game Five against the New York Rangers, 5-3, at Madison Square Garden.
In the end, it was the Devils' fourth line that made the difference. Ryan Carter, who scored with less than five minutes remaining in the third period, played 7:44 in Game Five, less than any other Devil.
Carter had eight points and was minus-12 in 65 regular season games and now has five points and a plus-5 rating in 16 playoff games. Carter was set up for the winning goal by Stephen Gionta, who also scored the first goal of the game.
If Carter is an unlikely hero, he had to be considered more likely than Gionta, a 28-year-old who played one regular season game for the Devils and scored all of 16 points in 58 AHL games this year. With a goal and an assist in Game Five, Gionta now has six points in 17 playoff games. While the totals from Gionta and Carter seem modest, they are valauble contributions from the fourth line. (Gionta, by the way, played 9:49, second-lowest on the team, ahead of only Carter.)
Once the Devils had established a 3-0 lead before the midway point of the first period, it looked daunting for the Rangers, but there is a benefit to falling behind by three goals with more than 50 minutes remaining -- there is more time to climb the mountain when the deficit is established so early.
Even when the Devils were building their lead, they weren't controlling the play and the Rangers outshot them 28-16 for the game. The Devils had fewer than 16 shots on goal twice in 98 previous games this season, including a game against the Rangers at MSG on February 27.
With a sense of urgency, the Rangers clawed their way back into the game, first with Brandon Prust sliding a backhand under a sprawling Martin Brodeur, then goals in the first minute of both the second and third periods, when Ryan Callahan deflected a pass in off his leg and then Marian Gaborik banked a shot in off Brodeur after Brdoeur was caught out of position when the puck got away from him into the corner where he couldn't play it.
Once the Rangers tied the game early in the third period, they continued to hold the momentum, but couldn't take the lead, opening the door for Carter to play the unlikely hero.
While the Devils' fourth liners made a difference, it's worth noting that Ilya Kovalchuk and Zach Parise each finished with two points after Parise iced the game with an empyt-net goal.
Rangers defenceman Michael Del Zotto had a tough night, finishing minus-3, while Brad Richards and Mike Rupp were minus-2.
Rangers centre Brian Boyle won 13 of 14 draws (92.9%).
When the Rangers had all the momentum, it looked like they might find a way to win a series that has been largely controlled by the Devils, but after New Jersey stole a win, in a game in which they were outplayed, the Blueshirts now face a huge challenge, needing a win on the road in Game Six, just in order to have a chance to win the series in Game Seven. One thing is certain, if Henrik Lundqvist isn't at the top of his game (unlike Game Five, when he stopped just 12 of 16 shots), then the Rangers won't have a chance.

Bond was denied Friday for a Naperville man charged with the fatal shooting of a man in a McDonald's parking lot in the Lincoln Square neighborhood Monday night.
Cordero H. Sims, 26, of the 1300 block of Normantown Road in Naperville, was charged with one count of first-degree murder early Friday for shooting and killing Irbinzon Gonzalez in the 4800 block of North Lincoln Avenue, police said.
Gonzalez, 25, was shot in the head about 7:30 p.m. in a dark-color BMW sedan, according to police and the Cook County Medical Examiner's office. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Judge James Brown on Friday denied bond for Cordero H. Sims, who, along with two other people, arranged a drug deal with the victim, according to court records. Sims allegedly shot the victim in the head over a money dispute with Gonzalez and another man.
The two other people who were with Sims have not yet been charged, according to prosecutors.
Sims is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Dec. 11.

A new study finds obese men with binge eating disorder are more likely to develop metabolic syndrome. The study finds that includes high blood pressure, elevated glucose and high cholesterol.
The new study defines binge eating disorder as the repeated consumption of large quantities of food in a short period of time without some other compensatory activity, such as vomiting seen in bulimia. People with binge eating disorder also report feeling of a loss of control over their eating.
According to Health Behavior News Service, part of the Center for Advancing Health, the study, examined 190 people (141 women and 49 men) who were seeking treatment for obesity and binge eating disorder in a primary care setting. Even after adjusting for race and body mass index, men were three times as likely to meet the criteria for metabolic syndrome, a condition that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
The study group was comprised of people who sought help with their weight.
Overall, the study found few psychological differences between men and women with binge eating disorder, except that women were more likely than men to become overweight earlier and to attempt dieting earlier and men were more likely to say that they engaged in strenuous physical activity in an attempt to lose weight.
The study is published in General Hospital Psychiatry.
