New here? Like us on Facebook below:
With fall upon us, I had to repost this great recipe that I shared with all of you last fall! Even though the weather is still warm (okay, HOT) where I live, I am finding myself craving pumpkin pie, pumpkin donuts, pumpkin bread, pumpkin coffee… basically anything pumpkin. This recipe is SUPER easy if you are craving pumpkin too! You only need two ingredients take make the cake!
When I first saw this recipe, I immediately thought I was missing something. I mean really. Who makes a cake with just two ingredients? And is the cake even going to be edible? Well, I'm here to report that this recipe ended up turning out really good! The consistency is denser than regular cake (probably because you aren't using eggs). I would say that it is more of a pumpkin bread consistency. This cake tastes great, made my house smell yummy and impressed hubby. What more do I need than that?
I added a third ingredient by topping the cake with powdered sugar. However, you don't need to top it with anything. Or, if you are someone who likes toppings, you could melt chocolate chips, pour on some caramel sauce, make a cream cheese topping, the possibilities are endless. The nice thing about this recipe is you can add to it. If you want to throw in some nuts or raisins or chocolate chips into the batter, go for it! In fact, report back to here with any recipe variations you come up with!
Frugal Tips
- Cake mix goes on sale 2/$4.00 or BOGO quite often. During your store's next sale, try to match a coupon with the sale to really maximize your dollar. If you get a good deal (cake mix for under $0.80/box), buy more than one box and put it in your pantry to be prepared for last minute moments when you need to make a quick dessert. Check out Addicted to Saving's coupon database to see the available cake mix coupons.
- Canned pumpkin religiously goes on sale every fall. Because of holiday baking, stores and manufacturers know we are going to need canned pumpkin. Stock up with enough canned pumpkin during the fall season to last you through the upcoming year!
Healthy Tips
- The cake mix in this recipe is definitely not the most figure friendly. Because we are not adding oil or eggs to the cake mix, we are saving on calories.
- Canned pumpkin (especially organic canned pumpkin) is SUPER healthy. On average, 1/2 cup of canned pumpkin contains 40 calories and contains no saturated fat, trans fat or cholesterol. And, each serving contains 4 g or 16 percent daily value of dietary fiber. I like to keep canned pumpkin on hand year round because it is perfect for those moments when my puppy has tummy trouble. Just 1 teaspoon (or less since my pup is small) of canned pumpkin is enough to make him regular!
Two Ingredient Pumpkin Spice Cake
1 box Spice Cake Mix
1 15 oz canned Pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9×13 baking dish with no-stick spray
2) Mix cake mix with canned pumpkin. Batter will be thick.
3) Spread batter in cake pan.
4) Bake 25 – 35 minutes until knife comes out clean.
Let cool, top with a topping (if desired) and enjoy!

+1 what he said! And if he's paying to shut it down my money's on the table too.
Posted by JPR:
I would pay to see this monstrosity of a thread locked down and put out of it's misery... although it has been a great place for people to make meaninglessly broad requests like "fix the GUI". (To be fair, there has been some substantive discussion here too.)
This thing is well over 2 years old, and take a guess how many times the person who hires UI designers has posted here? (Hint: it's less than one) If there is something you don't like, start a new thread... be specific about what you don't like and maybe suggest how you think it should be changed.
Your idea will get put on the list, and then you'll have something to reference later on when your brilliant idea hasn't been implemented as fast as you want it. And please, please don't title your post: "Please hire a UI Designer". Shockingly, this phrasing has not been persuasive.

And as Jake is clearly too modest to nag, it is nice when you go to iTunes for the update to say something nice about Toodledo
If Toodledo helps you be more productive, please consider giving us a rating/review in the iTunes App Store. Even if you have rated us before, you can rate us again with each new update that we release. It really does help us to have good ratings.

There are many users on these forum who will tell you all the reasons they gave up on RTM and how TD is so much better. I am one of them. Many would agree that the key to productivity is finding a system that works for the individual. I think it's odd that someone who teaches productivity would boycott one system over another. TD has so many advantages over RTM mainly because of the flexibility it allows even though that requires a degree of involvement from the user. Also, your sign off of 'Otherwise, great app' leads me to assume that you use it and like it. Even more confusing.

From Topic: Attach outlook messages to tasks
Did you know you can email your tasks in to Toodledo? Set up your special TD email address as a contact. There is also quite a lot chat in these forums regarding recent improvements to the syntax you can add to automate tasks added by email. Personally, I simply have them set to go to a folder called INBOX that I organise periodically.

I'm pleased that worked for you but I'm curious, why would you need a task to disappear without you having to mark it complete?

From Topic: indentation in notes
It's a pity that Notes hasn't kept up with the rest of the app's development. There are some great notes apps out there now but it would be so much better to have them integrated. Meanwhile, if you're looking for indented notes, try Workflowy, it's pretty good.

What is an optional task?
You can set a due date for your task to be Optional, look in the Help files under Due Dates (https://www.toodledo.com/info/help.php?sel=42). If you're saying that the task doesn't actually have to be marked as done, it just needs to appear then disappear, this could do it for you.

Would it be better if we said "We won't comment...". It seems nicer to say "can't".Perhaps it is nicer but it is not true.
See: http://www.toodledo.com/forums/2/14224/-69032/read.html
You could say "Thanks, we've added your request to our list for future consideration" and then quote your own words -- "It is our policy to keep our roadmap a secret and we generally do not comment on release dates for feature improvements" -- or provide a link to the quote.
Actually, I believe that your suggestion is on the to-do list but its not possible to comment on a date for implementation :-)

OK, thanks for an honest reply.
Looks as if it wont be soon :-((
I would add that over the years, I have tried a number of other systems, mainly through curiosity, including GQueues and Producteev. Both of these are much better than Toodledo when it comes to Google integration. Problem is, on every other measure, they're just not as good. The thing with Toodledo is that it's so flexible and doesn't force you into a specific way of working. It's totally reliable and continuously developed. I seem to get restless once in a while and go looking for 'better systems'. All that does is to reinforce that there isn't one.

From Topic: Buying Pro Version
I don't know the answer to that, I never let it end ;) I usually have a year or two in hand. Over the years I have come to completely rely on Toodledo and it has never let me down. Nor, with all the many questions and problems on this forum have I have heard of someone losing data. So, once it becomes your main, trusted repository, it makes sense to me to commit and pay a year or two up front.
On a slightly different note, as you start using it I would offer one bit of advice. There are many alternatives to Toodledo out there but the USP with TD is that it almost doesn't have a system. Instead it is incredibly flexible, allowing the user to mould it to suit. This can be daunting at first. It's usually safe to assume that as your personal system develops and you require more features, they are in there somewhere or someone here has a workaround. Many of the people on this forum are aware of or have tried other products, myself included. I always end up back with Toodledo.
Posted: Dec 14, 2011
From Topic: Buying Pro Version
From my own experience as a long term user you will never doubt that Toodledo is amazingly good value. In terms of support and reliability alone if it doubled in price it would still be cheap. Clearly, I don't speak for the company but it would seem like a pretty dangerous business model to fix your price forever.
Posted: Dec 13, 2011
Just wondering which bit of this relates to Toodledo?
Posted: Nov 08, 2011
Actually no, that's not what I meant. I would like only tasks that have specific times to show up in my calendar, not just dates. So, if I have to do something next Tuesday I don't want to see it. But if I have to do it next Tuesday at 11:00 then I do want to see it. And, unless I'm mistaken, that's not currently possible.
Posted: Nov 07, 2011
Huh, I thought I knew most of TD's tricks but there's a new one. That's exactly what I need, thanks.

Posted by Salgud:
You indicated you backed up after PI had apparently deleted your data. I was thinking that maybe you had backed up prior to this and forgot. Or something. Apparently not.
I suggest what once you're up and running again, you add a task to back up your TD regularly.
I'm ahead of you, already done!
Posted: Nov 03, 2011
Posted by Salgud:
So I'm guessing you haven't been doing any regular backups before this happened?
Salgud I think you missed the point. I did a backup, did the restore, still no data
It seems that your tasks are in your backup file but you're having a problem restoring the data.
Is the backup file XML or CSV? What do you see when you open the file on your computer?
Purveyor thanks, that's how it appeared, however...
I realised that the data that appeared to be in the backup file was in fact old, completed tasks that were stored so actually, my data had been wiped. Meanwhile I did have a fairly recent backup (just a few days) so not too much damage done and a lesson reinforced.
Note: Salgud, when someone says on this forum 'I've lost my data' the last thing he needs is 'You should've backed up' ;-)

Oh dear, big disaster!
I decided to give Pocket Informant another try and somehow, whilst fiddling with some settings, I wiped all the data from my Toodledo account. I went straight to TD and made a backup and that file appeared to contain data. I tried restoring from that file but, although the pop up info window showed that the file contained 600+ tasks, etc., the restoration hasn't worked. I still have no tasks.
I have also submitted a support ticket but, any help would be gratefully received. Thanks.
Posted: Nov 03, 2011
1) Thanks, that fixed it. Need to refresh the page each morning.
2) Sorry, I wasn't clear. I'm talking about iCal sync (in my case with Google). The only tasks I want to show up are the ones with specific times but all the tasks with dates and no times fill the 'all day event' space. On the iPhone that often takes up most of the screen.

Santa Fe Favorites
Date January 21, 2010 at 11:00 PM
Author Annie Lux
Publication SantaFe.com
Categories Health & Beauty
Eating out in Santa Fe can be expensive, but you don't have to break the bank to have a special lunch. Sure, we have our share of the usual fast food places. A few of the chains—say, Bumblebee's and Bert's Burger Bowl—serve good food at reasonable prices. But here in Santa Fe, local is the way to go. Whether you're exploring the downtown Plaza area, are out and about, or heading out of town on a day trip, you'll find some wonderful restaurants that feature a variety of entrées under $10. Here's a sampling of some of the best:
113½ East Palace Avenue
The Shed, located in a charming old adobe tucked into the historic Prince Patio just east of the Plaza, serves some of the best and most popular local fare in town. Most everything on the lunch menu is just under $10, from their great selection of soups and salads (although the soup and salad combo is a bit over $10) to the burgers and sandwiches to the local favorites the Shed is famous for. The enchiladas are fabulous, served with pinto beans and posole. They tend to feature their red chile, which is vegetarian and to die for, though green is of course also available (and also delicious). I'm a green chile girl myself, but at the Shed I order Christmas chile: red on one enchilada, green on the other.
133 West Water Street
4056 Cerrillos Road #G
Another popular spot for local food is the Blue Corn Café. If the ambience isn't quite as special as the Shed's, it's still a great bargain. Lunch specials include such New Mexico favorites as enchiladas, tacos, and huevos rancheros. The carne adovada (slow-cooked pork cubes in red chile) is especially good here. They also feature soups (including their famous grilled corn and chipotle soup), sandwiches, wraps and burgers. Their microbrewery features a variety of ales, lagers and a Sleeping Dog Stout; if you'd rather not imbibe, try their yummy prickly pear iced tea. The Blue Corn Café is located downtown at the corner of Water and Galisteo Streets. Their south-side location, convenient to south-side shopping, is on Cerrillos and Rodeo Roads near Pier One (entrance on Rodeo).
50 East San Francisco Street
Not in the mood for chile? Another moderately priced downtown lunch spot is the San Francisco Street Bar and Grill. Relocated to their present site (happily still on San Francisco Street) since late 2003, this self-described American Bistro serves a creative array of sandwiches, salads, soups and snacks in a casual and lovely open space. My favorites include the chicken breast sandwich with provolone, roasted red peppers and basil aioli on a fresh ciabatta role and the grilled Swiss and tomato sandwich with basil pesto on black bread. Salad fans won't be disappointed: these aren't the same old boring greens. Try the Cobb, sesame chicken spinach or tuna nicoise salads, or, if you're in the mood for Middle Eastern food (a tough itch to scratch in Santa Fe), there's a Mediterranean salad plate and a red chile hummus appetizer. Look for the San Francisco Street Bar and Grill on the upper level at the corner of East San Francisco and Don Gaspar Streets.
187 Paseo de Peralta (in the De Vargas Center)
Under the same ownership as the San Francisco Street Bar and Grill, the Santa Fe Bar and Grill provides a nice selection of local foods, salads and sandwiches at lunchtime. I seem to order salads here (my favorites are the grilled gulf prawn and avocado salad and the NY strip steak salad); the portabella and mozzarella sandwich is also a winner. I hear the local cuisine entrées are also good, but keep in mind that Diego's is just a short walk down the mall.
193 Paseo De Peralta (in the De Vargas Center)
This friendly, casual restaurant, also located in the De Vargas Center, serves (in my not-so-humble opinion) the best green chile in town: sweet and not too spicy, but with just enough of a "bite." I'm especially addicted to their chicken enchilada, smothered in the yummy stuff and served with a fresh sopapilla. My other favorite here, although there's no green chile involved, is the chicken flautas, served with a spicy salsa on the side. This family-friendly place has a children's menu; there's a full bar for the grownups.
510 North Guadalupe Street (on the north side of the De Vargas Center)
Jinja calls itself an "Asian bistro," but don't be put off by the contradiction: this cozy restaurant serves delicious pan-Asian appetizers, soups, salads, wok bowls and lunch entrées. Adding an appetizer to your lunch will take you over the $10 mark, but the lettuce wraps and pot stickers are worth it. I'm a big fan of the jungle green curry with shrimp, rice and vegetables. When I can manage to order something else, though, I'm never disappointed. The rice paper salmon is especially good, as is the Five Tigers (lemongrass marinated tiger prawns with pineapple salsa). A few entrées are just over $10, but most come in just under the mark.
500 Montezuma Street
Sanbusco Market Center
Order at the counter and take a seat overlooking the Sanbusco Market at this local lunch spot serving authentic New Mexican food at, you guessed it, reasonable prices. Have your taco with chicken, shrimp or salmon, or try the vegetarian enchilada: all are made to order with fresh ingredients. Not in the mood for local food? El Tesoro also offers sandwiches (try the spinach and goat cheese on foccacia or Cajun chicken on whole wheat) and salads.
319 South Guadalupe Street
Does anything say "Santa Fe" like the Cowgirl? This is a spot that manages to be both family-friendly and a hot night-spot. Have your lunch at the old western-style bar or in one of the tiny rooms filled with cowgirl-themed decorations, or out on the patio (partially covered during winter months). The barbecue specialties and entrées are more pricy, but there's plenty on the menu that's under $10. The fare tends toward barbecue (try the brisket on a bun), southern (sweet potato fries), or Tex-Mex (everyone's favorite indulgence: Frito pie, available with Texas-style beef or vegetarian chile) and New Mexican (although you can have your quesadilla with brisket or smoked chicken if you like to mix things up). In addition, many of their Cajun-Creole lunch specials (gumbo, po'boys, jambalaya) are also priced under $10. For the best deal yet, try the $6 Blue Plate Lunch Special: at that price, you can treat yourself to the chips and Texas caviar (black-eyed pea salsa) and still stay on your budget.
504 West Cordova Road
This popular local hangout is busy all day long (they're open at 6:00 a.m. every day and stay open till 8:00 p.m. every night except Sunday, when they close at 6:00 p.m.). Breakfast (omelets and other egg dishes, waffles, pancakes, and cereals) is served all day, so if you're jonesing for a breakfast burrito past 11 a.m., this is the place to go (try it with their sweet red chile). But that's not the only reason to lunch at the Santa Fe Baking Company and Café: they have a great selection of sandwiches and wraps, a fresh juice and coffee bar, a lovely array of baked goods (the chocolate chip cookie is seriously scrumptious) and daily specials, all at great prices. This super-casual café is the place that locals meet, greet, and run into each other all day long. Free wireless internet and lots of outlets are available, along with a computer where the laptop-less can check their email.
NM 599, Tesuque
Located in the charming, tiny village just north of Santa Fe, Tesuque Village Market is the best place to have lunch in Tesuque. Okay—it's the only place to have lunch in Tesuque (El Nido Restaurant, just up the road, is open for dinner only); luckily, this popular little spot serves up a great lunch at a moderate price in a very casual atmosphere. Tesuque Village Market uses fresh ingredients (beef, lamb and chicken are roasted in-house) for their sandwiches and salads. Also a popular breakfast spot (the breakfast burritos are great), you can get huevos rancheros (made with organic eggs) all day long. Some of the native New Mexican dishes are priced higher, but sandwiches, burgers, soups and salads are all under $10. There's a full bar here, and lunch is served all afternoon (till they switch to dinner at 5:00). The market itself has a great selection of wines as well as groceries. To get there, take either Tesuque exit from NM 285 (it's a loop) and drive in a few miles. You can't miss it. For a more scenic adventure, Bishop's Lodge Road will take you from downtown Santa Fe right into Tesuque.

David Yates to direct 'Tarzan' for Warner Bros
Because of course he will
By Corwin Neuse Nov 8, 2012 11:13AM
It's well known that, given its way, Warner Bros. would only employ three or four high profile directors: "The Dark Knight's" Christopher Nolan; "The Hobbit's" Peter Jackson; the, uh, other guy, whose name we're conveniently forgetting; and, of course, "Harry Potter" director David Yates, whose efforts have earned the studio literally billions upon billions of dollars. It seems like every new project Warner Bros. picks up is invariably linked to one of them at some point or another in its development. Of course, being in such high demand allows said directors the enviable luxury of being extraordinarily picky with the projects they actually choose. So what's next for Mr. Yates? According to Vulture, a reboot of Edgar Rice Burroughs's "Tarzan."
Why reboot "Tarzan?" Considering that the Burroughs-inspired "John Carter" recently became one of the biggest flops in Hollywood history, now would seem an inopportune time to seize upon his other well-known property, especially given the thematic similarities between the two projects. And the fact that they both center around bland beefcakes who spend most of the story shirtless. But who are we to question the wisdom of Hollywood pencil pushers? There must be something about the idea of a shirtless up-and-comer—like, say, Taylor Kitsch?—swinging through the jungle in crisp, digital 3D that sets accountants' and stockholders' hearts aflutter.
Despite our misgivings about the project, Yates at least seems like a natural fit. He proved with the latter "Harry Potter" movies that he can successfully balance a certain darkness of tone with family friendliness, qualities that should serve him well here. And we haven't even mentioned his panache for insanely expensive special effects or huge action set-pieces. Does the world really want a new "Tarzan" movie? And who will/should Warner Bros. seek to play the vine-swinging hero? Only time will tell. More details as they become available...

St. Louis – With the Braves getting continued dismal production from leadoff hitters, Yunel Escobar was moved to the top of the order for Monday night's series opener at St. Louis.
Braves leadoff hitters were a majors-worst 7-for-77 (.091) with a .165 on-base percentage and .143 slugging percentage, worse statistically than the team's No. 9 hitters (.121/.190/.207).
"We've tried just about everybody but him, might as well," manager Bobby Cox said of the Escobar move. "He's had some good at-bats lately."
Escobar has slumped like so many other Braves lately, batting .167 with one extra-base hit, two RBI and a .271 on-base percentage in his past 13 games before Monday.
The Braves were desperate to find a spark from someone in the No. 1 spot, however, and had tried every other obvious candidate except team batting leader Martin Prado, who Cox wants to keep in the No. 2 spot ahead of Chipper Jones.
Escobar had good numbers (.309 average, .371 OBP) in 320 career at-bats in the leadoff position, but last had more than 11 at-bats in the role in 2008. He hit .285 with a .358 OBP in 158 at-bats from the leadoff spot in '08 and a robust .351 with a .400 OBP and 17 extra-base hits in 151 at-bats in 2007.
He flied out deep, just in front of the right-field wall, to start Monday night's game.
Entering Monday, Braves Matt Diaz (.130) and Nate McLouth (.167) had the two lowest leadoff on-base percentages in the National League, and Melky Cabrera (.212) was the fifth-lowest.
Diaz went 3-for-5 batting leadoff on April 18 against Colorado, and Braves leadoff hitters were 4-for-72 (.055) in the other 17 games before Monday.

At least Yunel won't likely stand there and take called third strikes… but then, Matty D doesn't either. It looks to me like Yunel has his head out of his bass tonight… maybe so. IMO, he has as much natural talent as anybody out there. Nothing better than a scoring rally started by a pitcher. Let's keep it going guys.
April 26th, 2010

Oh… wasn't the last homer the Glaus, Hayward, McClouth trifecta of last Tuesday night?
April 26th, 2010
9:15 pm
Youngerthan Thatnow, I think that was the last time they hit a homer.
April 26th, 2010
9:17 pm
Now the last time we played like homers was last night. I think we have a consecutive game streak going right there. It might get broke tonight though, with Hudson on the mound.
April 26th, 2010
9:23 pm
Get rid of Glaus.Too many strikeouts with people on third base with less than two outs.Bring Anderson back.
April 26th, 2010

And Hudson's pitch count should be low for this point of the game. And the Trivia question answer is… Lonnie Smith.

Heyward is looking pretty bad at the plate now and is batting a crisp .234. Now he looks like an Atlanta Brave. Might be time for Bobby to call on his buddy Terry Pendleton to take him under his wing and straighten him out.

That's the problem now J Holcomb. Pendleton's tracks are all over this team. Wouldn't you agree it's time to quit swapping players and instead swap the hitting instructor?
April 26th, 2010
10:57 pm
Fans are merely in the hunt to experience something competitive…lest my reference includes our beloved Bravos…tellingly, when fans revert to this practice–wait, Chipper just got a mouth full of dirt stretching to pretend high level effort…so sad…down and out–of it…anyway, the fans are simply teaching Escobar a little math–number recognition. This will certainly help Yunel keep track of his daily screw-ups.

6 loses in a row and no hope in sight. Maybe we will get 5 runs with DLOWE pitching, but he will give up 6.
Braves are back to the 80's. They might as well put on the uniforms that DAREL CHANEY and Darrell Evans wore.
Look at the Minnesota Twins. They do not have the payroll the Braves do, nor the Florida Marlins,and they both play better than the Braves. It is definitely the manager. COX needs to go and right now. I hope he reigns.
Could he actually be fired by the same team twice. I hope so.
April 26th, 2010
11:22 pm
I hope he resigns. My bad.
April 26th, 2010
11:58 pm
Yes, only if he's packaged in a trade for Adrian Gonzalez.
Bad teams find a way to lose. This is a bad team.
April 27th, 2010
12:05 am
With the success Kelly Johnson, Frenchy, and Kotchman are having right now, it is becoming more apparent the problem lies in the top. Specifically with Terry Pendleton. It just can't be any other thing, not with this many guys slumping at one time.
The players won't even listen to Terry's comments and teachings, so what the hell makes Bobby Cox think that Terry Pendleton needs to spend another day as a coach.
If Bobby Cox wants to finish strong in his career, he needs to strap on a set of balls for the first time since his quit, and get a hitting coach. Period.
Braves are in last place, Bobby. You want to go out that way?!
April 27th, 2010
12:25 am
This team needs someone to light a fire to their a**. Watching the base running of Escobar and then Glaus pouting with a fly ball and making it close at second base with the ball lost in the sun. Worse part is they both start the next game. With a right hander on the mound the next day, Cox should have started Hinske at first. Don't know if Conrad should be at short, but wound have liked to see a hard nosed player hustle vs. what is being put on the field. I know the Braves don't have blazing speed, but they need to get moving on the base paths. Reyes getting from 1st to home during Bay's at bat shows what aggressive baserunning does. I can't stand the excuse of not running, so they pitch to the 3rd, 4th, and 5th hitters. They are not getting the job done anyway. St. Louis Cardinals had a play with over 100 rbi's with only 5 home runs due the players in front getting on base and getting in scoring position. This Braves team does not have the power for the players to be passive on the basepaths. Put some pressure on the opponents defense and pitchers for crying out loud. I can respect Cox for not blasting his players in the media, but last I noted Ozzie Guillen's White Sox have been in and one a World Series in the past decade. They are certainly playing better than the Braves are now.
April 27th, 2010
12:38 am
This team is in a bad spot. They have no leadership in the club house and simply don't know how to win. We have plenty of talent and hopefully they figure it out soon.
April 27th, 2010
12:39 am
I like having Escobar down in the order, but this team really needed a leadoff hitter. There were some good signs tonight. Escobar, Cabrera and McLouth all had better at bats tonight. Our friend Glaus even hit a few balls hard. The problem, though, is that the better at bats happened against an average pitcher. Let's see how things go tomorrow. For tonight, I'm encouraged.
April 27th, 2010
12:48 am
INFANTE should be lead-off & left field, can't get any worse!
April 27th, 2010
1:43 am
I would not mind seeing Infante getting more of a run in the leadoff spot; he's hit well when given the chance. In fact, if he did not get hurt last year Prado may have never been given a chance.
April 27th, 2010
2:12 am
Infante needs to be in the lineup someplace everyday.
Glaus and the Dud need bus tickets. Without peanut butter sandwiches, though, I don't have time to make them.
Hinske and Ross need using more as well.
I am in favor of going one less arm and bringing up Sammons for stretches in order to get Ross more ABs off the bench, and McCann a little more rest.
A) Our pitchers will be going longer than average in 3 of 5 games very soon.
B) McCann is one of the few guys we can count on nightly, and he needs to be fresh. I'd love to see more split games with Ross.
What I don't like is having a supposedly competitive icon of a manager not try any new combos in his final year? You'd think he'd be breathing fire at the unproductive scrubs.

TEAMS: Detroit Tigers
Torii Hunter, as speculated in this article yesterday, has officially signed a 2-year, $26 million contract with the Detroit Tigers. He got a bit more money that the speculated 2-year, $20M deal that was floated out there but the Tigers feel like they got their man. Torii Hunter is pumped to be a Detroit Tiger Hunter will bat 2nd and play right field for Jim Leyland in 2013 and '14. The contract is pending the formality of a physical. Consider it a done deal. The new Tigers lineup for 2013 should look like this: Jackson – CF Hunter – RF Cabrera – 3B Fielder – 1B Martinez – DH Dirks – LF Peralta – SS Avila – C Infante – 2B If Peralta and Avila can improve on their down 2012 seasons this will be one of the elite lineups in all of baseball. And if they don't, that top 5 is still as deadly as it gets. Hunter, 37, will turn 38 in July. He hit a career-high .313 in 2012 while playing with the Angels. He also belted 16 homers and drove in 92 runs. The short-term deal will allow him to serve as the perfect bridge for up and comers Avisail Garcia and Nick Castellanos. In Hunter, the Tigers get a true professional, who is desperate to win a ring, and they didn't sacrifice the farm system to fill their need. Job well done.

Keibul Lamjao National Park
Renowned for being the only floating park in the world, the Keibul Lamjao National Park lies 53 km away from Imphal, in Bishnupur district of Manipur. Islands formed by mats of dense aquatic grass gives it an appearance of floating on the lake.
The unique wetland ecosystem of the national park is spread over 40 sq km. The park encompasses three hills of Pabot, Toya and Chingiao. The park is surrounded by marshes and hillocks. The hills provide shelter for its large mammals during the monsoons.
The park is situated on the southern shore of the Loktak Lake - the largest fresh water lake in Eastern India. The Loktak Lake has floating islands on it called Phumidis (locally called phum) which are inhabited by fishermen. The thickness of phumdi varies from few centimetres to two meters. The phumdi floats with 4/5 part under water.
The national park is home to the endangered brow-antlered deer more commonly known as Sangai. Rare and endangered, the sangai or the Brow-antlered deer (Rucervus eldi eldi), numbered 14 in 1975. The forward protruding antlers appears to come out from the eyebrow which lends it its name, the brow-antlered deer. After the declaration of the area as national park and with strict conservation measures, the fear of its extinction has been greatly reduced.
The brow-antlered deer is also called the dancing deer. The deer has also been inspiration for Manipuri dance traditions. The Sangai was reported extinct in 1951, but after being re-discovered it has become Keibul Lamjao's prime attraction.
Rare wild cats like the marbled cat and the Asian golden cat are occasionally seen in the national park. Other animals like the Himalayan black bear and the Malayan bear are also seen. A variety of fishes and reptiles like tortoises, snakes like viper and cobras are also found.
Where to stay
The government tourist bungalow on Sendra Island located in Loktak Lake is ideal option. Rest houses are also available at Phubala close to the park. Imphal provides better accommodation facilities.
Where to eat
There are no eating options in the national park. There are numerous restaurants offering Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Italian, Mexican and French cuisine in Imphal. Keep in mind that even fish is considered vegetarian by the locals. So if you're looking for pure vegetarian cuisine, ensure you specify your requirements.
Best time to visit
The best time to visit Keibul Lamjao National Park is between October and March.

I have been pining for a service like Last.fm, except for pictures, for some time already. To my amazement, I had an email waiting in my mailbox last week relating to such a service. It's called Filmgator and it's still in beta, but the service works in the way you'd expect it to.
FilmGator is a Finnish start up, based in Helsinki. The service aims to reply to the query: What are folks watching? I have always liked last.fm a lot. It aggregates your music in the background and is in a position to pull up statistical data referring to your music habits. I have attempted to Google for something similar to this for films now and then because, although there are lots of pictures produced, I believe that finding good flicks is a lot tougher than finding good music. Not only does FilmGator total the flicks you have studied, but it's also a review site for movies. On each film page, the user is ready to review the film or add comments. Furthermore, there is a chance to add it to your timeline. Your watched films are placed on a timeline and the user is ready to go back their history and see when they have studied what.
While FilmGator has the standard functions in use, it pretty much does not have the likelihood to find new flicks thru recommendations. The only possible way to find new films right now is thru timelines and watchlists of other community members. The concept in itself is great and I appreciate the basics of it I do wish that FilmGator had implemented a little more sociality into the service although it's still in beta. There's no business design in the service yet and when it comes to pictures, the last.fm streaming model may not work. This does not imply FilmGator has no technique of earning profits though. In reality, there are loads of ways. For instance, if they can make a good recommendation engine for flicks they could license the technology to other sellers. FilmGator will shortly have plenty of data on how folks watch pictures and how sociality has effects on this. This is valuable info when planning such technologies.

Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
2011 MINI Cooper Countryman S: Flash Drive
This 2011 review is representative of model years 2011 to 2012.
By Staff of MSN Autos
For anyone that has always wanted a MINI but couldn't live with only two doors, the Countryman is a dream come true. With four full-size doors, it is far more convenient than any other MINI, especially if you have children who need a child safety seat. Yet the Countryman manages to be almost as much fun as the standard MINI, with better handling and performance than any similar vehicle in spite of the smallish turbocharged 1.6-liter engine. While that engine is the same one found in other MINIs, it doesn't deliver the same fuel-economy in the Countryman. The "utility" vehicle's larger size and weight had a noticeable impact at the pump, as I managed only about 26 mpg in mixed driving (5 mpg less than I average in my own 2-door Mini Cooper S). And while the trunk space is larger than in a 2-door MINI, it is not massively so. –Paul Hagger
The MINI Cooper S Countryman is bigger and more versatile than any other MINI model, with four doors and available all-wheel drive. It is taller, wider and heavier than its siblings, and in the process has lost some of its MINI-ness. But maybe it's not fair to compare the MINI Countryman to its siblings at all, because when compared to other compact crossovers, the Countryman is still nimble, sporty and fun to drive, especially in Cooper S trim with a turbocharged 181-horsepower engine and 6-speed transmission. Bottom line: The Countryman is quick and responsive, relatively easy on fuel and accepts four passengers and more cargo than any other MINI. Not bad. –Mike Meredith
If you love the way a MINI Cooper drives, but feel a little cramped inside, they've now made the perfect car for you. The MINI Countryman gets you a true back seat that doesn't feel claustrophobic, and with actual rear doors this small crossover is easy to get in and out of. The car still looks like a MINI, but perhaps one that's been munching on steroids. Many will say that there's no way this taller, larger vehicle can handle as well as the go-kart-like Cooper, and they'd be right. But you get about 90 percent of that fun-to-drive feel, and for most people, 90 percent of MINI performance is still better than almost anything else out there. Our tester was the higher-performance Cooper S, but it wasn't equipped with the available all-wheel drive, which would have been useful. I had a hard time getting traction in the rain with 181 horsepower going through the front wheels. –Perry Stern

Herbs for Kids (cont.)
Herbs can also indirectly harm children if parents use them in place of prescription medications. "When a child has a serious condition, you don't want to take away proven remedies in favor of untested alternatives," Kemper says.
Kemper only recommends easy-to-recognize herbs of time-tested value. For instance, a child with an upset stomach might feel better after a cup of chamomile and peppermint tea or some juice with a quarter-teaspoon of ginger grated into it. Then again, she says, a little Pepto-Bismol would help, too, but only if the child doesn't have a fever: Pepto-Bismol isn't recommended if kids have fevers because of the risk of Reye's syndrome. If parents still want to take a chance on questionable herbal treatments, capsules, powders, and potions, Kemper suggests sticking with brands manufactured in developed countries -- especially the United States and Germany -- to reduce the risk of contamination.
Clearly, many parents are willing to take a risk on herbal remedies, and many are glad they did. Sunny Mavor, founder of Herbs for Kids and co-author with White of Kids, Herbs, and Health, says she has a huge stack of "love letters" from satisfied clients, and she's never received a complaint about unwanted side effects.
Final Advice
Skeptics and herbalists do agree, however, that parents should use caution with herbs, which means keeping all herbal products out of children's reach and never giving more than the recommended dose. (In general, the dose for a child should be one-third to one-fourth of an adult dose, according to the Herb Research Foundation in Boulder, Colo.) Most important, parents should tell their pediatrician about every herb their child takes.
All sides also agree that scientists aren't likely to settle the questions and uncertainties about herbs any time soon. If parents waited for scientific trials to prove herbs worked for kids, Mavor says, "it would keep herbs out of the mouths of children forever."
Of course, not everyone would say that's a bad thing.

The "La Peregrina" pearl is one of the most famous pearls in the world with a recorded history of nearly 500 years. It is a large pear-shaped white nacreous pearl whose original weight was 223.8 grains (55.95 carats). In 1913 after the pearl was drilled, cleaned, and polished, it had a weight of 203.84 grains. The drilling was necessitated in order to secure it firmly to its setting, as the pearl was nearly lost on three different occasions after it had fallen off from its setting.
The "La Peregrina" pearl was at one time the largest pearl discovered in the world, but until today remains one of the largest pear-shaped pearls ever discovered. Pearls found in nature can be classified into eight basic shapes :- round, semi-round, button, drop, pear, oval, baroque and ringed. The most desired shape of pearls is the perfect round shape, which are also the rarest and the most expensive. Round pearls are used in strings of pearls or necklaces. Drop and pear-shaped pearls, which are also known as tear-drop pearls are often used in earrings, pendants, or as centerpiece of necklaces. During its 500-year history the "La Peregrina" pearl had been variously used as a pendant to a brooch, pendant to a necklace, centerpiece of a necklace, and centerpiece of a hat ornament. Mary I used it as a pendant to a brooch, King Phillip IV of Spain used it as a hat ornament, other queens of Spain used it as a pendant to a necklace or the centerpiece of a necklace.
Today, the "La Peregrina" owned by Elizabeth Taylor's Estate is set as a pendant to a necklace made out of pearls, rubies and diamonds. The necklace was designed by Cartier, after the pearl was purchased by Richard Burton at a Sotheby's auction in 1969. The necklace is a double-stranded pearl necklace interspersed with equally spaced floral patterns eight in number, each having a ruby as its centerpiece, surrounded by diamonds in a floral pattern. The outer strand of pearls is composed of larger drop-shaped pearls, and the inner strand composed of smaller round-shaped pearls. The "La Peregrina" pearl is attached to this necklace as the lower part of an elaborate pendant. The centerpiece of this pendant is a floral design consisting of a central pear-shaped ruby surrounded by diamonds in a floral pattern. The necklace created by Cartier is indeed a masterpiece in its category, and represents the highest standards of jewelry designing for which Cartier has an international reputation.
The Pearl, in the above setting, goes up for Auction next Tuesday

I have a slight different view. I do play on a pvp server and there is the occasional ganking her and there but I would say that in the entire time I have been playing on a pvp server, which is about 1.5 years, I have been camped all of 3-4 times.
Either your experience or mine was unusual. I got ganked a lot until I was high enough to hit back for effect. Even then, you couldn't avoid getting hit from behind while fighting 3-4 mobs at once.
I'd be camped at least once a month, and ganked 3-4 times a week
