Gameday Open Thread / Cubs @ Mariners
The Cubs travel to beautiful Peoria (Arizona) to take on the not-as-good-as-they-think Seattle Mariners. Jon Lieber and Sean Marshall will see the mound for the Cubs. Jarrod Washburn (I've been told we bear a resemblance minus his goofy facial hair) will start, but definitely not finish, for the Mariners. Some site info after the jump....
I appreciate all the suggestions to improve the look of the site and I'll do my best to address all of them. Of course, they have to make sense with the overall site design and all of us writers have to agree on them. I did want to mention something on the "Subject" line in the comments. I know it'll take some time to get use to, but in the end, it should make for a better reading experience.
While the subject line is automatically filled in either with the title of the article or the subject of the comment you are replying to, we do encourage that you change the subject if you are NOT directly replying to a comment. Let's face it, there's maybe 10-20 comments that are directly related to the article written and then the rest are usually folks going off on different tangents. Let's try and use the subject line appropriately. On most sites that I've come across that do use a subject line for their comments, readers usually type the first few words of whatever they were going to type anyway in the subject box and finish the rest in the body section of the comment. Sometimes if it's a short comment, there won't even be anything in the body section of the comment. What I most want to avoid is situations like this (and not to pick on anyone, I just need an example and there are plenty just like this one):
It's a comment with an update on the Brian Roberts talks but the subject is: Re: Cubs Weekend in Review. It would be better to just take the first few words of the comment: More on the Roberts trade situation as the subject and go on from there.
Now, when you do actually reply to a comment, it's probably best to leave the subject with whatever is automatically filled in. That way folks that are viewing in the "flat" versions will know what is being discussed. Of course, if someone didn't change the subject in the first place, that sort of defeats the purpose. So if you are replying to a certain comment and the subject line wasn't changed to reflect the body of the comment, go ahead and modify it to something more appropriate(leaving the Re:) and go on from there.
I realize it's all kind of new and different and it'll take some getting used to, but I do think it will make for a better commenting system...that is, once we all get a handle on it. So I appreciate if you all try to work with us on this and in return we won't completely ignore your site design ideas (I kid, I kid).
Let's see what happens when
Let's see what happens when you leave a subject line blank?
let's see what happens when we replace jon lieber with delicious Folger's coffee with flavor crystals...
...let's see if anyone notices.
Re: stupidity...
now thats an old-school reference. and hilarious to boot.
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Cubs @ Mariners
okay...he can play a deep RF (sans brick) and has a hell of an arm.
that much should be evident now.
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Cubs @ Mariners
Yeah, great defense by Fukodome in the bottom of the 2nd!
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Cubs @ Mariners
Gah, no WGN at work. I take it Fukudome made a nice play?
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Cubs @ Mariners
Fuku made a catch at the warning track and threw a bullet to first to almost double up the runner, according to ESPN 1000 afternoon crew who are at the game.
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Cubs @ Mariners
Yeah, I'm watching on MLB.tv
Nice running catch and throw. He's looking good.
Re: Soriano injury update URL
Re: Soriano injury update URL
Of course it is longer than the Cubs first reported, does that really surprise anyone? But I would be very happy as long as he is ready to go full blow by March 15th, thus giving him a full 2 weeks to be ready. I just want it fully healed and not an excuse in the cold April games as to why he is struggling with the bat.
Re: Soriano injury update URL
But I would be very happy as long as he is ready to go full blow by March 15th, thus giving him a full 2 weeks to be ready.
Soriano has a non-displaced fracture of his long finger distal phalanx. Anyone who grew up in Chicago and has played 16 inch softball has probably had a worse version of what Soriano's injury is. He could play with this owie (if this was softball in a beer league) and it's going to be sore for about 10 days-2 weeks, but it's spring training so nothing is to be gained to have him play with a sore finger. It's really not a significant injury IMHO and in fact will give more playing time this spring to Murton, Fuld and a few others like Fox...which is a good thing.
Re: Soriano injury update
soriano will make a miraculous recovery the day following the murton trade to balt for roberts and payton.
i hope.
and, at least it ain't his legs.
Re: Soriano injury update
"and, at least it ain't his legs."
Re: Soriano injury update
I blame bobby dernier and his 2 handed catch it against the wall trick.
Who is this
Luis Figueroa guy?
Re: Who is this
He's a 33 year old career minor leaguer (only 16 major league at bats in 11 seasons). He did hit .302 in 443 ABs for the Giants' AAA team last season. He might have some speed, but he can't really steal, in fact he was a terrible 7 for 16 last year in SB. And he has no power - at all. What he brings is the ability to play 2B, SS, 3B, and OF. The odds of him making the big league team are virtually nil. He has a pretty good track record in AAA so he'll likely play at Iowa this season, unless he does terriby in spring training in which case he could get released.
Re: Who is this
Ah an older version of Jose Macias...
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Cubs @ Mariners
Fuku can REALLY get the ball back to the IF.
too bad marshall and lieber cant keep the ball in the IF.
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Cubs @ Mariners
The game is on MLB.tv. It's not a Seattle or Chicago broadcast. There are a few games, and this is one, where MLB.tv provides its own coverage. This means a few things: 1) Play by play by Harold Reynolds and some guy who apparently used to play named Billy Sample. 2) Terrible MLB graphics when doing replays, etc. 3) The silent commercials between innings with display ads for the mlb.com store.
The non-commercial issue is not too bad, but when the game comes back on it scares the shit out of me every time.
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Cubs @ Mariners
Nice RBI triple by Fox, then Figueroa hit Fox in. Tied 2-2 bottom of the 4th
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Cubs @ Mariners
samninja getting work
Brian Roberts
Brian Roberts? Where u at, homes?
Re: Brian Roberts
I'm right here.
Oh. You probably meant the famous baseball playing Brian Roberts.
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Cubs @ Mariners
Fox is swinging well. Triple earlier, and then just doubled off the wall.
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Cubs @ Mariners
Big 7th inning for the cubs: 3 runs so far. They're up 6-2
The millonth Robers Rumor
this time from Jon Heyman:
Nothing more than this time it might happen stuff. Though common sense leads you to figure Cedeno and one of Marshall/Gallagher are involved. If Payton is involved, I imagine Marquis could be involved as Bal could use a innings eating vet.
Re: The millonth Robers Rumor
I hope we can get some of those Billy Ripken "Fuck Face" baseball cards in the deal. Mine got stolen in a burglary.
Re: The millonth Robers Rumor
I'm feeling less excited about the rumor if it includes Payton. Some guys are a positive, some guys are a negative. IMO, Payton would be a negative.
Re: Ronny Cedeno
Did he get caught stealing too? It lists a CS and a PO in the box score. Damn he's a dumbass!
Re: Ronny Cedeno
Yeah, Cedeno got caught trying to snag 2nd early on.
Re: Ronny Cedeno
He looked good. Howry's giving up hits left and right though.
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Cubs @ Mariners
Second thing my eyes tell me about the Cubs this ST
(first was that our regulars are a bunch of gimps
who may not be ready to play until, well..., May)
Andres Blanco (SS) has got a GUN! No doubt about it.
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Cubs @ Mariners
That was a bullet of a throw.
Re: That was a bullet of a throw
Shades of Dunston?
Re: That was a bullet of a throw
Re: Howry
Howry struck out the last kid on a high fastball, after Welington Castillo made a nice play to block a ball in the dirt that, had it gone by him, would've scored the runner from third to tie the game.
Re: Lahey?
Samardzija looked strong as he pitched two scoreless innings. He has a nice sinker.
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Cubs @ Mariners
Didn't see much of Lahey, but Ninja looked really good.
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Cubs @ Mariners
"Jarrod Washburn (I've been told we bear a resemblance minus his goofy facial hair)"
That explains why your wife chose you, I guess. Kind of creepy.
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Cubs @ Mariners
Alright, then...
At least she doesn't have a crush on Bartolo Colon.

I'm working on it...sorry.

I just discovered this and it is GREAT.

Re: Cool Feature
That new cool feature just got signed by the dodgers...3 years, $44M I think. Just kidding, btw.
See, I figured out how to reply.
Re: Cool Feature
Wow. Is that what it implies? I had now idea.
I thought that the hyphen separated the two...Joe, servant of Christ, AND fantasy champion. Apparently I am incorrect. Thanks for the insight into the inner workings of my subconscious.
Re: Cool Feature
Ah. So that's what this is about. I was wondering why you were angry with me.
I do not deny that Christ has blessed me with the gift of drafting and trading. But actually, I put the cross there before signatures were fixed; I needed a symbol above my signature so that I wouldn't have to hit enter every time I posted...then I just kept it cause I liked it.
Besides, I'm fully aware that Christ is too busy causing disorder in my church at present.

Re: Cool Feature
I classify this conversation as a hijack on my otherwise interesting comment regardless of years or millions spent.
Re: Cool Feature
Sorry for the hijack...
I especially like the red 'new' tags.
Re: Cool Feature
But besides...
You may have given millions to TCR, but it still has its family to think about.

The nice thing about signatures like that is they always have an expiration date. Enjoy it while you can, Joe.

The new name for Wrigley
Re: The new name for Wrigley
Even SF has realized its mistake and restored the name Candlestick Park, and now were going and doing whatever. It'd be funny if a Wrigley competitor got the naming rights:
Bazooka Joe Park
Re: The new name for Wrigley
Big League Chew Stadium
Re: The new name for Wrigley
Hubba Bubba Park?
Re: The new name for Wrigley
"Monistat-7 Field"
Re: The new name for Wrigley
How about Trojan Stadium?
Re: The new name for Wrigley
Dude, I ALMOST said that exact thing, I even had it typed out. Creepy.
Re: Dusty finds his leadoff men
Read the second comment to that article. I'm gonna be a happy man when Dusty installs Patterson as his starting CF over Jay Bruce...
Re: Dusty finds his leadoff men
I predict Korey as the new cub-killer => Scorey.
Caplan on Roberts...
Dave Caplan on his Comcast cable show (taped, I'm sure), now stated the following:
Roberts deal is indeed hot - latest he knows is the Cubs could get Roberts and George Sherril, Orioles want Pie, Marshall, Cedeno.
George Sherril - NOT George Shearing the pianist (he's dead, I think).
Re: Caplan on Roberts...
Taking Caplan's comments at face value--there's no way it'd be Roberts/Sherrill for Pie/Cedeno/Marshall, is there? The salaries don't work and that seems like less than the Orioles have been asking.
Re: Caplan on Roberts...
"George Sherril - NOT George Shearing the pianist (he's dead, I think)."
Then cross him off the list!
Re: Caplan on Roberts...
Could we send Eric Patterson instead of Pie and when the O's ask about it we'll just say:
"No no no, that's Pie. I don't know what you're talking about."
Sherrill and Pie in the deal makes no sense
Bal wanted him in the Bedard deal because they wanted a guy who can close, also with Adam Jones the Orioles do not need CF that badly to throw him in. I think it will go down as Roberts for Cedeno, Epat, Marshall or Roberts and Payton for The previous 3 and Dempster (him and Payton make the same and they could use a innings eating vet).
I didn't think Sherril
was a true closer.
Isn't he a LH setup specialist?
Sort of like Stevie Ire, but better?
Cubs Season Parking Passes
I just got a hit on my credit card for $567 + $3 service charge for what I assume is the season long parking passes with the ability to buy them for the playoffs. NICE!!! I haven't gotten a confirmation from the Cubs though. You signed up before me, so you must of gotten them. Any other Cubs Season Ticket Holders get them?
I hope we get first dibs every year for them, so they just become a part of our package. That would be a huge asset to help sell the tickets.
Re: Cubs Season Parking Passes
Yep. I just saw it posted over the weekend.
You lucked out!
I have not had official confirmation yet.
FYI, there is now an option, at checkout for single games, where one can purchase parking at "Irving Park" lot, for only $12.
So - price accordingly!
Re: Fukudome to try out the 2 spot
If we get Roberts (which looks likely at this point) this lineup just really doesn't work out well. Ideally, apart from handedness, the lineup would be something like this:
However, I doubt we'll bat two of three lefties starting out. What do you all think would be the best lineup? Or what lineup would Lou go for? I'm thinking maybe
See what I mean? There's no easy solution if Roberts is acquired.
Re: Fukudome to try out the 2 spot
Its a nice problem to have.
Another unfair article on Dusty-
Re: Fukudome to try out the 2 spot
I'm still fine with
Soriano, Roberts, Lee, Ramirez, Fuku, Soto, Pie, Theriot
Agreed. This way you don't have 3 right-handed hitters in a row, giving the lineup the kind of balance Piniella likes (as AZ Phil has pointed out).
Re: Gameday Open Thread / Cubs @ Mariners
I'm watching the Terminator show(not bad, not good) on FOX here in Chicago and they just showed an AT&T commercial with a comedian doing Harry Caray impersonation. Gray hair and glasses at Wrigley.
He started throwing out lines like the Wil Farrell, very sad.

Did you macrame yourself a pair of jean shorts too?
what the hell is marquis talking about?
"That doesn't mean I think I deserve the job over somebody or not. If you come on the basketball court and play defense on me, I'm going to compete. That's a whole different ballgame."
...cause I have no idea
Re: what the hell is marquis talking about?
I think he means that he has to take on a second sport to better support his family.
Re: what the hell is marquis talking about?
I think it means if the Cub's were a basketball team, he'd be a defensive lineman?
Re: New blog
Nope, I agree. Some others have mentioned it before. I'm sure Rob and the boys are working diligently on it.

Yeah, it would make Silent Towel sightings a lot easier.

sale's skills and insane value makes it almost too hard to have a market for the guy...he's got 3/38m owed to him over 3 seasons (2 team options). he could easily pull in 30m/yr if he was on the market as a FA.
he's throwing a bit differently this season, especially with more sliders and less changeups like earlier in his career, but all his stuff still looks great even if the HRs are a little elevated and the Ks are down.
Torres, Happ, McKinney, Jimenez, and Candelario for Sale. Deal or no deal?
"The White Sox are reportedly asking for "five top prospects" for Chris Sale, FanRag Sports' Jon Heyman reports."
Unless he develops 30+ HR power and keeps his walk rate close to his K rate at the MLB level, he's not going to turn into Prince Fielder. And even if he does turn into Prince Fielder, he's gonna have a short prime. His very limited athleticism is likely to also detract some value from his ability to reach base--I don't buy making an out as being preferable to base clogging, but you'd certainly prefer just about any base runner other than Vogelbach, David Ortiz, etc.
seeing as arod has played a total of 27.1 innings of D at 1st/3rd and somehow managed a -0.5 dWAR with his 1 error at 1st and an overall positive total zone rating...he might end up even more in the shitter via the characteristics/flaws/whatever of how some sites determine various WAR values. dWAR doesn't directly lead to a WAR value, but the 2 main entities pushing the most popular variations of WAR sometimes lead to some interesting discrepancies in value.
I have a lot of faith in Baez that he's going to turn into a more consistent, solid player. It looks like it took him about a half season or so of futility at the plate to figure out he was not talented enough to get away with the crazy approach he had. I think his running game will eventually have a more measured aggression.
I hope the D and bullpen show up. Cubs haven't had much luck against Davies, and he's been going well lately. A little uncomfortable with the Cards only 6.5 back--feels like they're right on our tails compared to the 11 game lead I've grown accustomed to.
Cardinals, stop that. Right now.
In a year or two, a lot of fans are going to point at trading him as a mistake. He'll probably be slashing something like 280/400/480 for Seattle at the time. Of course, by WAR, he'll still be worth less than 3, since we're talking zero defensive value.
vogelbomb debut for tacoma (AAA SEA)... 3-3, 1bb, 1 HR, 1 double...DH'd.
while he mostly played 1st considerably more than DH for AAA CHC, DJ Peterson is probably going to see most of the time at 1st for AAA SEA.
Carl Jr.! Very nice!
Baez with another "WTF?" play trying a delayed steal with a runner on 3rd and one out.. Remarkable talent, needs to make better decisions.
m.montgomery up in the pen with a man on 2nd, 2 out, and rondon 20 pitches into the inning.
...and rondon ends it 22 pitches in with a popout to RF.
I gotta say with the crappy defense the Brewers have displayed outside of Fowler I'm pretty disappointed the offense hasn't shown more and Rizzo seems to be very swing happy lately. That said my god am I happy Madden has finally given Carl Edwards a chance after multiple times up with nothing. I don't think he could handle a starting role with his body frame but his stuff plays so well in a relief role and he seems to be able to handle high stress situations very well.
2nd at bat. Fowler is good for the Cubs run differential.
welcome back fowler.
More slow news...
Did Davey Martinez have to bring the shotgun?
glad to see almora going to AAA to get work.
.265/.291/.422 through 86PA...2hr, 7 doubles.
i don't expect too much of an improvement when he's taking over CF next year, but the team doesn't really need him right now as much as they need him to get regular work (imo).

I don't think so no. I've not seen Kriesi go backwards and add in anything like that to previous themes but ultimately its up to him so I'll tag the topic for Kriesi to take a look at and he can answer one way or another :)

Leaving the Prison: Permitting Partner Choice and Refusal in Prisoner's Dilemma Games
We propose a simple rule of thumb on how to choose one's game partner that allows economic agents who care about the future to learn to cooperate in the iterated prisoner's dilemma. This rule of thumb uses partner selection strategically to reward cooperative behavior and teach defectors a lesson. This reward and punishment scheme leads to higher payoffs of non-exploitive strategies and slowly converts defectors, who are attracted by the higher payoffs, into non-exploitive types. Simulations show that the convergence to stable cooperative behavior is rather fast. Copyright 2001 by Kluwer Academic Publishers

AFAI can tell the GPS gets a set of coordinates and refreshes every 5 minutes. So when you move a lot it's almost impossible to get exact coordinates of each shot.

Handy location and nice ficilitiesPosted Jul 23, 2016
Pros: New and up to date facility.

Great Central Business District HotelPosted Jul 19, 2016
Pros: Good location, helpful staff, clean and freshly updated
Cons: At least one free bottle of water and free wifi. Having to pay for both in this day seems antiquated.
Location: Shopping, Coffee, Business
I stayed in the new side of the hotel as opposed to the historic side as it is split between a new high rise and an historic building allowing for something for everyone. Great blending of architecture from old to new and amazingly close to shopping, food and lots of fantastic coffee options. Next time I am in Sydney for business, I would stay again.

Not badPosted Jul 17, 2016
For a five stars hotel I expect more around facilities. Gym opens at 9?? Who does that cater for?? They stuck us in a room surrounded by one big family in 4 or 5 rooms around us. Screaming kids running between rooms, slamming doors every 2 mins, etc.. Complained about noise to staff and nothing was done. Checking out the next morning and weren't even asked how our stay was!!!

Dear friends and random internet folk,
I'm very happy to announce Super Adventure Pals is coming along great!
The past 6 months or so and 12 hours work days have been tought but we're getting closer every day to being near release. We're still a while away from the finish line but getting there.
Jay @jayarmstronggames has written up a little piece about it which i'll post here :)
P.s I'll be attending GDC & PAX South pls come say hello to me!
The game has turned out way better then we had hope for. It's smooth, its alive, its full of personality and everything in it is feeling great. And most importantly, it is not long to go now until the release!
Prepare to enter a world full of zombie cat pirates, hot dogs pooping mines, blob monsters spawning flying jelly fish unicorns, crab people and spooky moon ghosts.
Help the toast people in their revolution against their oppressive dinosaur overloads in a post-apocolyptic wasteland, crown the pirate king in Port O'Potty, seek out your mentor in the underwater world of Crablantis and build a rocket to the moon to rescue your Dad from Mr B's Hot Dog factory!
Keen to see a sneak peek of Pirate Cove? Perhaps a little bit of the action? Sure thing buddy:
For those who like to know a little bit about development, you might like to know that each part of the game is slightly different. The levels are straight up platformer, while the towns control like a brawler game, and the world map is controls like a top-down game.
You can see that the brawler angle let Julian (king of the art) create some really fantastic looking locations. Here you can see the process of design from the pencil and paper concept drawing to in-game footage.
And having that zelda style top down view for the world map helped us create a feeling of freedom in the world and hopefully a sense of exploration and adventure as you roam between levels, towns and different game areas.
We've gone out of our way to make absolutely everything in the game feel 'juicy' and full of feedback. We posted this gif a few months ago. Its the zip line mechanic, but as you can see it rocks and bounces when not in use and then the rope buckles under your weight before springing back in to place when you jump off it.
Further to this, we've used a 'skeletal' animation system as well. This has meant super smooth transitions between animations. Instead of having fixed frames like many 2D games, the various body parts will tween smoothly between positions, like they would in a 3D game. We've used this to great effect on all our characters, bosses and many of the enemies as well.
Here is a great example of it used on the Breakfast Buccaneer, the Pirate Cove boss:
These animations were done by our good friend Jon, who is just ridiculously talented and did all the artwork for Super House of Dead Ninjas. When his animation and Julian's artwork combines, something really awesome happens, and I'm just glad to be a part of it.
We'll be keeping the updates, screenshots and vids flowing now as we head towards a release date.
Thanks for staying with us and I hope you are as excited about the game as we all are!
Follow us on http://superadventurepals.com
Jay & Julian xoxo

Of the clinical varieties of chronic pancreatitis, that associated with alcoholism presents the most difficult problem in therapy. From the reported work one cannot conclude whether the alcohol exerts its effect by direct action on the duodenal mucosa or whether it acts by absorption into the blood stream and secondarily involves the pancreas. Lowenfels et al1 demonstrated an increase in both the volume and amylase content of the pancreatic fluid after the intravenous injection of alcohol. Gizelt2 believed the action of alcohol to be the summation of direct stimulation of the gland by the absorbed drug, direct stimulation of secretin in the duodenum, and an indirect stimulation of secretin secondary to alcohol induced acid production in the stomach. Dreiling et al3 demonstrated that intravenous administration of alcohol neither stimulated the pancreas nor had a deleterious effect on patients with or without pancreatitis. Brooks and

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

Much of IT terminology is often misused and misapplied. Modernization and transformation are two such terms. They are often used interchangeably even though they mean different things and have very different connotations. Indeed, it is somewhat safe to assume that in IT any transformative effort is likely to also have a modernizing effect, and thus, we can see these as levels of improvement efforts. However, many businesses are being led to believe if they don't transform now they risk becoming ...

Patient Comments: Total Knee Replacement - Candidate and Causes
What was the cause of you needing a total knee replacement?
Comment from: russ, 55-64 Female Published: January 27
I was having a 100 meter sprint with grandson, 10 years old, I am 63 and haven't tried sprinting in years. Needless to say I got about 10 meters before injuring my hamstring and thought somebody shot me in the backside. I went down in a screaming heap.
Comment from: BobK, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: January 20
Wear and tear that has eliminated cartilage and spawned arthritis was the reason for my total knee replacement.

I wish I knew why both of my knees were bone on bone so I had to have total knee replacement. I am not particularly overweight. I do not run or abuse my legs.
Comment from: Daveygee, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: December 22
I woke up 24 hours ago with nausea, dizziness and bad headache. I walked around a few minutes and then began throwing up. I would feel better after throwing up (severe, projectile), go back to bed and within 30 to 45 minutes it would start again. I had one episode of diarrhea. I went to the emergency room and was put on an IV and given anti-nausea medicine which helped my gastroenteritis immensely. I have never had an episode like this and the nausea was unbearable. I was sent home a few hours later with anti-diarrheal and anti- nausea medicine. Twenty four hours later I am still very tired but after drinking a fresh tender coconut I am feeling much better.

I'm 31 and about 7 or 8 weeks ago I started having back pain. Then it moved into my front lower pelvic area and then once again moved this time into my right hip so bad I couldn't lift my leg without horrible pain and had trouble sleeping. Then the pain started to spread into my leg. Very tight and crampy! In addition to the pain I had major bloating, the appearance of 6 or 7 months pregnancy, fatigue, hot flashes, and random headaches. After putting up with this for 5 weeks I finally caved in and went to urgent care. She did a full pelvic exam, Pap and urine test (negative). She could feel that something was going on with my right ovary. So she sent me for an ultra sound. The ultra sound showed something on my right ovary, two different technicians thought it was a 6 week old fetus! But I had a negative pregnancy test last week. Thirty minutes after my appointment my obstetrician/gynecologist called me and told me to rush to the emergency room right away for emergency surgery! After 7 hours in the waiting room they call me back and tell me the blood pregnancy test was also negative. So it must just me a hemorrhagic corpus luteum cyst. No surgery go home and call your obstetrician/gynecologist first thing in the morning for a follow up. She doesn't want to see me for 2 weeks! Eight weeks later I'm still exhausted and my leg (buttocks and hip) cramps are debilitating at times. And my hormones are out of control (I cried for 10 hours after the nurse made me feel crazy for trying to get an earlier appointment)! I have a hard time buying their diagnosis. But I haven't even got to talk to anyone about why or what this is and when or how I will feel better. Everyone said to talk to my obstetrician/gynecologist and she is seriously making me wait two weeks! So I had to self-diagnose by googling!

I went to the emergency room with a headache on the left side of my head. I told the doctor that my blood thinner levels had been unstable for the last month and I was extremely hyperthyroid, but my medicines had been adjusted. They did blood tests and an MRI. My MRI was clear, I was still hyperthyroid and I had low potassium, 3.0. They started me on potassium chloride and after 1 week the headache went away. After 2 months, I take a lower dose, but I'm not doing so well right now, I think my potassium is dropping again.

I found this plugin from a post on WPMU. I have to say, this is turning out to be pretty awesome.
In my setup, I have two post types: Services and Locations. Each service is linked to several different locations. My setup can be seen here.
In the content for the services, I'd like to use a shortcode that I've created, that would essentially display the location. But I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to use the p2p relationship to retain the location that was queried.
On the above mentioned example, if I were to click on "Abbott, CA", I can see all the services connected to that location. Clicking on a service, I'm taken to the service post. In the content of that post I'd like to be able to use "Abbott, CA"...even if this wasn't a shortcode and it was just some <php> in the content, I'm still stuck on how to accomplish this.
Any thoughts? TIA!

Tartiflette - Alpine Melted Cheese, Bacon and Potato Gratin
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 35 mins
Fast becoming a classic, Tartiflette is the perfect palliative supper dish for chilly autumn and winter evenings. This delicious, rich and hearty dish hails from the Alpine Haute Savoie region of France. For authenticity's sake, try to get hold of a whole Reblochon cheese. Reminiscent of Camembert or Brie in flavour, texture and shape, Reblochon has the perfect melting quality for Tartiflette. In addition, as this dish can be prepared a day or so ahead, it could make the ultimate Bonfire Night or Halloween centrepiece! This is a truly indulgent dish, which is best appreciated after a strenuous morning on the ski-slopes — or at least a brisk winter's morning walk. It is important to use a ripe Reblochon, preferably bought a few days in advance and left to reach maturity out of the fridge. For this to happen, it should be uncategorised. Of course, if you have a good cheese monger you will be able to buy one ripe and ready to eat. Serve the Tartiflette hot and straight from the gratin dish with fresh salad, crusty bread and assorted pickles. Edited to add: One reviewer made a comment that you should fry the bacon and discard the fat - it IS stated in the main instructions to do just that! Also, if your potatoes are not cooked after 15 minutes plus 25 minutes in the oven, you have not cut them thin enough - try to cut them quite thinly, as shown in all the photos. Reblochon cheese is a very STRONG cheese - do not try this recipe if you are not a lover of strong cheese! Merci:-)
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 kg potatoes
- 1 large onion, peeled and finely diced
- 200 g smoked lardons (8 ozs) or 200 g smoked streaky bacon, diced (8 ozs)
- 25 g butter (1 oz)
- 1⁄4 pint white wine (1 wine glass)
- 4 tablespoons creme fraiche or 4 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and cut in half
- sea salt
- fresh ground black pepper or fresh ground black pepper
- fresh ground black pepper
- 1 ripe reblochon cheese
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 5.
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the potatoes whole, in their skins, for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the onion and bacon in the butter in a heavy frying pan over a medium heat; they should sweat but not brown. When they are cooked, discard the fat and add the glass of wine and the creme fraiche and mix well.
- Drain the potatoes and as soon as they are cool enough to handle peel them — the quicker the better. Slice thinly across.
- Choose an ovenproof earthenware dish and rub it well with the cut halves of garlic. Layer half the sliced potatoes across the base, season them with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then scatter over half the onion and bacon mixture.
- Cut the Reblochon cheese in half through the centre of the cheese, leaving you with a cut edge and a skin/rind edge, then lay one half of the cheese on top of the potato, bacon and onion mixture. Add the remaining bacon and onion mixture followed by the rest of the potatoes and more seasoning.
- Place the remaining half of cut Reblochon cheese skin/rind side up on top of the potatoes. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 180C/350'F/gas mark 4 for a further 20—25 minutes. The Reblochon should melt within its skin and the cheese drip down throughout the dish, while the potatoes will become crispy and golden brown.
- Tartiflette is a filling dish and all you really need to go with it is a mixed green salad, crusty French bread and a selection of pickles.
Most Helpful
Delicious tartiflett , used jacket potatoes cooked not quiet through, peeled and sliced them a little thicker, topped with reblochon skin sides up in in a crueset with lid on for 20 min. removed from oven gave a stir, returned to oven uncovered to brown and form crust.
my new favorite comfort food dish :) this is fantastic. I subbed raclette cheese for the reblochon and it worked well.
I asked the cheesemonger for Reblochon, and he recommended something that was quite a bit stronger than Camembert. It reminded me of some trappist cheese from Kentucky (altho it was from France). The finished dish was not good in so many ways: (1) the flavor was too much and (2) the potatoes weren't done at 15 min and cooking them in the oven did not finish them as I hoped. They were sliced the exact thickness of the potatoes in the pictures. Neither of us liked it, and I discarded the remainder. I used a pinot grigio for the wine; it tasted fine straight from the glass. Originally, this was a one-star review, but I missed the instructions to discard bacon fat.

- American City Business Journals•yesterdayRig counts hold on cusp of more drilling
Rig counts in the tri-state region held steady this week even as a handful of big companies in the Marcellus and Utica shales say they're planning to increase drilling activities in the second half of the year. There were 36 rotary rigs working in the Appalachian states of Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania, according to Baker Hughes' weekly count released Friday . Pennsylvania's 14 were the most, followed by Ohio's 12 and West Virginia's 10.

EQT Corp. said Thursday that it would pick up the pace of its natural gas drilling program, starting about 63 more wells than previously planned in the Marcellus and Upper Devonian shales in the second half of 2016. The Pittsurgh-based driller's move comes amidst growing signs of improvement in the beleaguered natural gas industry, which has seen rig counts and employment fall as production and supply increased and prices fell starting in 2014. The Upper Devonian is another, deeper, layer of shale underneath Appalachia, a drilling program that EQT had previously suspended.

This plugin was perfect for my needs. A simple Call to Action button that I could customize and place on my sidebar and footer. Love that I can change the 'hover over' colors too. Thanks for creating this. =)
It is one thing that I love your plugin, I think it is a very innovative way to convert visitors. BUT the main thing is that I am absolutely amazed how great your support is! I experienced a problem what I thought was because of this plugin, I wrote to support and sent code, and within the same day they helped me solve my case. It turned out that some other plugin was responsible for the issue and now everything works great. Thanks!
I still count how many customization features this have. Great job!
This is also a great plugin, like we are used to from you, guys. Its on the top of my musthave plugins list.

Simply explained- Adobe Anywhere is a private editing cloud that enables film/video businesses to collaborate on the same project, accessing same assets and media, from anywhere that has a robust internet connection.
But the key to the Adobe Anywhere concept is how Adobe approaches the idea of collaboration. I spent an hour at NAB 2013 chatting with Michael Coleman, Senior Product Manager overseeing Adobe Anywhere, throwing all sorts of workflow questions at him to see where the gotcha was. But it became clear that this wasn't a tagged on service – Adobe Anywhere is the opening salvo in a new way of thinking about collaboration and editing.

We regularly hear from readers that their cable company — often Comcast — is charging them rental fees for equipment they either never owned or have already returned. A group of six U.S. lawmakers are calling on the FCC to look into this problem of consumers who face fees for phantom modems and other devices. [More]

4 Reasons Tribal Lands Lack Better Access To The Internet

In Comcast Country, Set-Top Box Competition Will Hurt Innovation, Raise Prices
Earlier this week, FCC Chair Tom Wheeler proposed new rules intended to increase competition in the pay-TV set-top box market. Rather than paying hundreds of dollars a year to your cable company for a device you can't get anywhere else, the idea is that you would be able to buy your own box and save money in the long run. Amazing, Comcast — which stands to potentially lose billions of dollars if this happens — is crying foul. [More]

Groups Ask FCC To Reform Set-Top Box Market, Say New Rules Could Save Consumers Billions Every Year
While the cable industry hasn't fessed up to how much it makes leasing set-top boxes to their customers, in July, lawmakers crunched some numbers and found that it could be a $20 billion industry, with consumers paying up to $232 every year on that equipment. Two advocacy groups are now asking the Federal Communications Commission to begin a rulemaking proceeding to reform the video set-top box market, saying cable and pay-TV companies are overcharging consumers by $6 billion to $14 billion annually.

FCC: Cable Internet Is Getting Faster, But DSL & Satellite Still Likely To Miss The Mark
The FCC's job — well, one of the FCC's jobs — is to make sure that everyone has access to decent broadband connections. You can't understand what you can't measure, though, so as part of that, the commission has to measure just how broadband is holding up. They issue a report, called Measuring Broadband America, roughly once a year to share their findings. The new one, the fifth, has just been released and while there's still a lot of room for improvement, on the whole it seems to be a high note on which to end the year. [More]
More Than 13,000 Comcast Customers Have Complained To FCC About Data Caps
For the last few years, Comcast has been testing out data caps in a small number of markets, charging customers for exceeding their monthly allotment of 300GB (or offering them the chance to pay even more money for "Unlimited" access). More recently, the nation's biggest cable company began expanding the number of data cap markets, and a new report shows that these new limitations have not gone over well with Comcast customers.

Kickstarter, Tumblr, Etsy, Others Ask Lawmakers To Not Use Budget To Ruin Net Neutrality
While the telecom industry is fighting the bad fight against net neutrality through the legal system — the way such matters are supposed to be handled — some in Congress want to ruin the FCC's Open Internet Order by using good ol' fashioned pork-barrel politics, slapping riders that will undercut the pro-consumer regulation onto the omnibus budget bill now being compiled on Capitol Hill.

Net Neutrality Opponents, FCC Get Their Long-Awaited Day To Argue In Court
We all knew from the moment that the FCC voted to reclassify broadband and protect the open internet back in February that ISPs would file every suit they could think of to kill the rule off again, as thoroughly as could be. The suits were formally filed back in April, but the wheels of justice and government roll at something of a slow grind and so the oral arguments in the case were finally heard today. [More]
New Hire At FCC May Indicate More Protection For Consumers' Privacy Down The Road
