Thule cargo boxes are durable and strong enough to protect your cargo from the elements. Cargo boxes store equipment and luggage, leaving the interior of your vehicle free for passengers. Available in a range of models, Thule cargo boxes feature a lock so that your cargo is safe when you're not around and an easy-snap system that makes them simple to install on your vehicle's roof rack system.

- 1
Set the roof rack system (if it is adjustable) on your vehicle to the widest position that will fit the mounting holes in the cargo box. The minimum width that the Thule cargo box will accommodate is 23-5/8 inches.
- 2
Lift the cargo box onto the roof rack. You may need someone to help you do this.
- 3
Slide the box forward or backward to position the mounting holes located on the bottom of the box properly over the crossbars of your roof rack. Mount your cargo box toward the rear of the vehicle to minimise wind resistance.
- 4
Open the cargo box and remove the bag of hardware inside.
- 5
Remove the easy-snap mounting hardware and attach the rectangular rubber pads onto the bottom of each of the four easy-snap brackets.
- 6
Lift the red safety tab on top of the easy-snap bracket then twist the blue handle counterclockwise. Do this for each bracket.
- 7
Insert the easy-snap brackets into the appropriate holes on your cargo box support bars. Line up the load bar with the red safety tab lever toward the rear of the cargo box.
- 8
Slide each of the four U-bolts provided under the roof rack load bar and into the mounting holes of the box and the easy-snap hardware. Push the U-bolts up until they fit snugly.
- 9
Turn the blue handle on the easy-snap bracket clockwise until it clicks into place then press the safety tab down.
- 10
Check the rear hatch and front hood to make sure they will open with the box installed. If not, you'll have to adjust the cargo box's position.
Tips and warnings
- All four mounting brackets must be attached and locked through the proper holes between the inside of the box and the roof rack's load bars. Make sure that the easy-snap mounting hardware is fully seated in the holes of your box and roof rack system.
- Secure all loads with the load straps provided before driving.
- Make sure that all loads are evenly distributed inside your cargo box and do not exceed the maximum weight permitted by the manufacturer of the box or your vehicle.
- Clean your Thule cargo box with water and a mild soap that contains no alcohol, chlorine or ammonia which can damage the box's surface. Your cargo box locks should be lubricated regularly with graphite or a similar dry lubricant.
- Inspect bolts, screws and all other fastenings on your cargo box and roof rack system periodically for signs of wear. Replace them if you see signs of corrosion.
- Thule cargo boxes are not intended for use on trailers or towed vehicles or for off-road use.
- Remove cargo boxes when they aren't in use and before entering automatic car washes.

Man I need a new job!
Being in the planning stages of the Grand Escape is daunting as all hell and having next to no money after all the apartment buying and moving doesn't really help matters!
So, I have to find a job that pays more, plus another way to supplement my income, and cut back on expenditure, and at the same time plan (and pay for) the initial outlays for the trip and make sure I have enough savings to be able to survive once I'm out on the road. Errr, yeah...piece of cake...

House-hunting Part Deux
As I said, I have a lot of news on the house-hunting front. Last time I wrote about it was....oh yes. The big not-quite-finished-being-built house in the country. Well, that was a lifetime ago!
10 Months later...
Eh, hi everyone *waves*
So...it's been a while...sorry about that. Life, you know?
I just read over my last post and I guess the best place to start back here is to compare my plans for 2013 to the reality of 2013, right?

Step by Step: Double Flower Topper
Well, well, it's been a busy few days for me so I haven't had a chance to update you guys on everything I've been up to. I do have a few wedding-related projects in the works that I can share with you in 23 days (!) but not until then (sorry, but I can't be giving everything away before the big day or there'll be no surprises left). I do, however, have this lovely little tutorial for you to brighten up what is a dark and dismal Monday here in Cork.
Okay, so first things first - what will you need?

Love: Teal
I really do love the colour teal, so much so that it's our main wedding colour! There's just something so...calm about it. It reminds me of the deepest parts of the ocean, the great below. I also love, love, love Etsy so I thought I'd put together a collection of gorgeous teal pieces sourced only from Etsy sellers*. The best part? Everything here is under €50, so if you're looking for a lovely Christmas gift, look no further!

First of all, I was not paid to do this review and I am not blogging about this because of the brand either.. but I was really impress with this product! Read the rest of this entry »
Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream is an all-natural, multi-purpose skin care balm which is made up of 6 natural most powerful ingredients. It has no synthetic preservatives nor any synthetic fragrance added to the product, which is safe to use by everyone – even those who have sensitive skin. The Egyptian Magic are made up of 100% natural ingredients and derived only from living plants and organisms.
Olive Oil: a great hypoallergenic moisturizer that helps penetrate deep in to the skin to keep it soft and supple.
Beeswax: helps create a protective barrier on the skin, retaining moisture.
Honey: offers natural antioxidant and anti-microbial properties to support the skin's ability to rejuvenate. Also great for absorbing impurities from the skin (especially the pores).Bee Pollen: absorbs free radicals from the skin and due to its high content of nucleic acids, can penetrate the skin to nourish tissue below the top level.
Royal Jelly: contains specific nutrients, including enzymes, hormones and vitamins that can support skin renewal and collagen production.
Bee Propolis: a nutrient-rich substance that promotes healing and the regeneration of skin tissue.
Egyptian Magic is based on an ancient formula that blends olive oil with several bee products in a secret way to produce a skin cream with a remarkably curative and regenerative effect on skin and hair. The combination of ingredients reputedly originates in Ancient Egypt, where it was found inscribed in hieroglyphics in a pyramid at Giza.
The late and historical Egyptian Queen, Cleopatra actually uses it, too! No wonder her skin and beauty is unmatched for!
It's very popular among Hollywood celebrities, fashion icons and even known doctors. This product is mostly known as a healing miracle cream as well as it can be used as a remedy for psoriasis, eczema, used as a moisturizer, reduce stretch marks, acts as a cleanser and eye-makeup remover – you may even use it as an after shave cream, hand cream, night cream scar and bruising reduction ointment for your skin or even as a hair conditioning treatment, as Kate Hudson recommends!
See the results in a day of use to less than a week!
This is the only product who offers a money back guarantee – if you are not satisfied with the results and to make things even more awesome… it's actually available in Manila, Philippines – being sold in Watson Stores preferably in SM The Block and SM Mega Mall as it is not yet available in other Watsons branches.
You can mostly use it for almost anything! You may also use it as a highlighter on your cheekbones, a little around your eyes for a fresh glow, too. It can be used in the hair, dry elbows, hands, feet, etc!
Personally, I use this product during the night (but you can also use it in day time!) I slather the product all over my face to my neck – leaving it overnight. It keeps my skin hydrated and you can immediately see the effects as you wake up the next morning!
"As vouched for by model types like Karolina Kurkova, it gives skin a beautiful sheen." –Harper's Bazaar
"My secret weapon is Egyptian Magic, a great balm for the skin… It's an all-purpose remedy." –Actress Virgina Madsen
"We use it for everything. Our patients love it." –Dr. Eleanor DeVinny
"It outsells all other body care products at Whole Foods Market by 10%." –The New York Times
"Madonna won't leave home without it." –Daily Candy
A suggested way to use it is just to take moderate amount of Egyptian Magic and rub in your palms until it takes the form of oil. (It helps the skin absorb effectively.)
Then, apply over your skin gently! (You don't want to waste the whole product by excessively using it, don't you?)
I did told everyone from my last entry about taking a makeup class on Makeup Design Academy, right? Let me show you the Makeup Design Team first, including our makeup authority, the MDA Director and Founder, Ms. Lanie Acedillo, who even studied abroad specializing in professional makeup.

Despite the fact that I don't really like my eyes… (Well, technically.. I like everything about myself but I would have to admit that my eyes is not the perfect kind that I wanted because one has a single eyelid and the other one has a double eyelid..) but recently, I have been getting so much compliment regarding my eyes and especially regarding my brows.

Since I believe that colors defines our auras and mood, I make it to a point to always have my nails cleaned and changed its polish on a weekly basis. I like a lot of pink shades as my nail polish but this is the first time I was using Revlon's Nail Enamel, Pink Chiffon.
I normally wouldn't use this as my nail polish but since I just watched an American old movie, "Yes Man" few days ago, I decided to just go for it. I mean, what's there to lose? Why not give it a try, right? If it's an opportunity and you know in your heart you wanted it, why not? Okay enough about the movie and my own rambles.
Revlon Nail Enamel gives up to 10 days of lasting color and shine. Their exclusive silk-protein shield works wonders to instantly help even out the surface of the nail while rising above color to automatically smooth away bubbles and streaks.
I did two coats for this nail polish. It was very striking to me at first but after looking at it for some time, I actually loved the results. It's actually nice and it compliments a lot of my shoes and wedges, which happens rarely. It's a pale pink pastel color has this creamy effect. Since it's pastel, you might need to add more than two coats, it's actually up to you but I like its color even with just two coats on.
Seriously, the colors didn't chipped away immediately. Since I'm always busy and doing so much stuff and on the go, it it normally chips off during 2 to 3 but using this nail polish, the color stayed – Impressive!
PS. Pardon me for using my feet in the image above, I just had a foot spa and I really loved how clean and refreshed it went out. I totally love how the colors complimented my feet, too!
Asian Secrets Lulur Whitening Body Scrub is currently one of the most best selling product out in the market lately. Have you tried the product yet?
It a beauty treatment inspired by a Royal Javanese Lulur Ritual, a purifying ritual for princesses as a preparation for their wedding day.
We're not princesses but we could always treat ourselves royalty for our skin, don't we?

Book folks on games: Hail to the Chiefs! It's the ALA and ALIA Presidents!
After finishing the "Game folks on libraries" series with the extraordinary Brenda Romero, I didn't want to drop the bar - so we're winding up this year's "Book folks on games" with a bang too! It's a double-header with the Presidents of both the American Library Association (ALA) and its new partner in IGD this year, the Australian Library & Information Association (ALIA). We're very honoured (and also honored) to have them both contributing their thoughts!
Courtney Young (ALA)
Normally I let people's bios provide most of the introductions, but in this case I feel it's a little understated. As the website she set up for her election campaign makes clear, Courtney is a woman of many accomplishments - indeed, it's remarkable to scroll down her list of "Selected Professional Activities" and realise that all this has been compressed into a mere decade-and-a-bit. (At the risk of making her blush - though there's no reason she should - the Endorsements page also makes for some impressive reading.)
Courtney L. Young is the 2014-2015 American Library Association (ALA) President. She is currently the Head Librarian and Professor of Women's Studies at Pennsylvania State Greater Allegheny, and previously held positions at Penn State Beaver and Penn State University Park, Ohio State University, and Michigan State University. Within ALA, she has served on the Executive Board and the Council, and as President of the New Members Round Table. In 2011, Courtney was named a Library Journal "Mover & Shaker". Courtney graduated from the College of Wooster in Ohio with a B.A. in English and minors in Black Studies and Women's Studies. She received her M.S. in Library Science from Simmons College. Courtney frequently presents and publishes on issues related to academic librarianship, diversity, virtual reference, leadership, and professional development.
Courtney, welcome and thank you! We know you're busy, so we are both honoured and appreciative. Let's kick off with our first question: what is your past experience of play and games?
I have an extensive history with games and play. My older brothers played all types of electronic games, including handheld sports games and early console games.
We also play board games in my house. For example, I loved playing Monopoly... but the rest of the family was not as much of a fan because the game play took so long. Card games featured too. I used to watch my mother play solitaire, and Go Fish was one of my early favorites.
I also had a love for tabletop electronic games. One year for Christmas I received a Pac-Man system (see http://www.geekvintage.com/images/coleco-tabletop-pac-man-system.jpg). I spent a lot of time working on my high score and getting an extra life!
My first foray into computer gaming was Math Blaster!, designed to help me improve my math skills. My first gaming at the public library was as a pre-teen where I played Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? When my older brother went to graduate school he gave me his Nintendo. I owned some games, but would rent others from video stores as this was before libraries started lending games. I've owned a variety of gaming consoles (Sega Genesis, SNES, PS1, PS2, PS3, Game Boy, Nintendo GameCube, Wii). I still do a lot of gaming.
Thank you for sharing that! What do you see as the current state of games in libraries?
Games are being recognized more widely as important in our society. As a reference librarian I've noticed over the past ten years an increased interdisciplinary interest in game theory and gaming for course-related assignments. It is common on campus to see students gaming together between campuses, be it X-Box or Magic: the Gathering. Libraries hosting open houses increasingly include a gaming component for attendees. My public library colleagues host Wii for Seniors events. More academic libraries are developing game collections. As a natural gathering place in the community, the library is a great place for legal gaming to take place, such as chess tournaments.
And of course, the 2014 ALA Annual Conference's Opening General Session featured Jane McGonigal, author of Reality is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World. She designs alternative reality games "that are designed to improve real lives and solve real problems."
I still wish I could have been there... where do you see this going, and where could it go?
I believe gaming will continue to be important and a part of everyday life. We know it can play an important role in learning - from my early experience with math skills software, to flight simulators for pilots. Games allow us to be creative and learn new things. They are also fun!
Gaming is a great way to come together as a family, friends, or a community. Libraries of all types play an integral role in fostering opportunities to come together, so through gaming programming (tournaments or even festivals) and collections that is possible. Games have the potential to bridge generations, cultures, and make the world a better place.
Damian Lodge (ALIA)
ALIA's President, Damian Lodge, is similarly a man of many talents – including, I've just discovered, being both a rock musician and a guitar-maker! I had the pleasure of meeting Damian at the recent ALIA National Conference and discovered that on top of that and the professional achievements below, he is also a very affable chap.
Damian Lodge, is a Lecturer in Information Studies teaching in the areas of technology and management at the Wagga Campus of Charles Sturt University, an Australian university with a strong focus on rural and regional Australia with campuses around the country and over 2000 students studying Library and Information Management courses via distance education. Damian has been teaching in the School of Information Studies since 2003 and came to teaching from working in University Libraries for ten years and public libraries before that. He has a Masters in Library and Info Management and a Masters in Business Administration. He has served on the ALIA Board for a two year period (2006-2008) and is currently the President of ALIA. Damian's research interests are in library management and technology and he co-ordinates the Leadership specialisation in the School. He has written articles on staff development, organisational culture, teamwork and technology in libraries.
Thanks for your time Damian! We know it's scarce, and we're privileged to have you joining us too. So: what is your past experience of play and games?
I remember growing up as a kid and loading games onto my family's Commodore 64 with the tape drive. The tape drive was a little faulty, and would chew up the tapes so the games wouldn't play properly; even when they did work, the graphics were square blocks and the music that played was monophonic… but it was an experience! I was a fan of Space Invaders at the local sports club but I was a very ordinary gamer. Most of my friends in high school played computer games and played Dungeons & Dragons, a game my school tried to ban in the early days (which I think only made it more appealing). I didn't play computer games in high school but did play with a few music software packages to write music, which in retrospect was still a form of electronic play. My family played board games regularly with Monopoly, Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit the favourites. My parents banned me from playing Monopoly against my sister due to my 'buy everything I land on and become the evil landlord' policy. My sister still won't play Monopoly with me.
I have spent the last 25 years working in universities and the student spaces have always been full of games, with my favourite being Daytona USA. Why this game I have never understood, as I own two pushbikes and do not own a car – but the game just appealed to me! These days it's apps, so Words with Friends is very popular and I did get caught up in Flappy Birds.
What do you see as the current state of games in libraries?
Gaming in libraries started slowly, but has really come in to its own with some great new purpose-built spaces in libraries for gaming and play. A brand new library in Melbourne – The Library at the Dock – has some brilliant spaces designed for gaming and play. It has a makerspace, gameplay zone, recording studio and a host of other spaces that really show what you can do with play and gaming in a library environment. As a musician and a guitar builder these spaces in libraries are just fantastic as I can go into the library and lay down some tracks in the recording studio using quality microphones and the latest music creation software then head to the next space and print off some guitar parts with the 3D printer. I may have to try and get a job at this library…
I also recently visited the chess collection and play space at the State Library of Victoria. Every table was in use with a great mix of people playing against each other.
Where do you see this going, and where could it go?
Gaming and play brings people together. My teenage children play games with people halfway across the world. We are all connected and gaming and play allows us to become increasingly connected with people we know – and interestingly, people we don't. I get Candy Crush invites on a weekly basis and my family can easily spend hours in the evening together playing games on the 4 laptops, 2 iPads, 3 iPhones and an android device which are all loaded to the hilt with games.
In the future we are going to see further development of these devices that enhance the user experience, with far better graphics and sound and an amazing level of interaction and immersion. I am fascinated with smart glasses and how this and other wearable technology will be developed over the coming years. Libraries and the spaces we build are adapting well and are really quite innovative. Librarians understand change and the management of change well, as this is part of our everyday work life due to the nature of our business! We are building great spaces and partnerships, and utilising new technologies to provide services that are bring new people into our libraries every day.
Thanks again to both Courtney and Damian for taking time out of their busy schedules to answer our questions!
IGD Anecdotes: Intergenerational connections and meeting new people
As you forge ahead with your IGD plans, you may be focusing on certain age groups: kids, teens, twentysomethings, or beyond! Your target group may shape what type of games you introduce – but fear not should you encounter a mixed combination of groups. Be spontaneous and flexible with adjustments because you'll never know who will show up until the day arrives. You may soon realize that the level of a game could have broad appeal regardless of one's age.
People of all ages can play a good tabletop game together, or even a video game. From past IGD events, various libraries have observed people of all ages teaching and playing games together. For instance, in one public library:
[A] tween came wanting to learn Magic: the Gathering and brought her first deck. A group of college guys mentored her in the game, giving her tips and strategies. She left much more confident in her gaming skills, and very excited to teach her friends. We had a gaming group from a local university volunteer for the day as their service project. They brought games and spent the event teaching kids and adults how to play new strategy games. It was a great success, and awesome to see people of all ages learning together.
(As a side note, this story exemplifies the value of having teachers on-site to make games an opportunity to learn and critically assess both one's play of a game and the structures of the game itself. Games such as Magic teach us how to think strategically, and it's always helpful to get that reinforcement which builds confidence.)
At a library in Vermont there was a large group of teens that came to a game day; as the day progressed more adults joined, and the teens invited them to play a number of games. At one game of Forbidden Island, a cooperative game where players try and beat the island, a teen, a twentysomething, and two people in their fifties and sixties played together. The island won in the end but everyone involved had to work together to form a strategy and problem-solve. This kind of intergenerational interaction can be difficult to get with other programs.
At the UCLA Library, most attendees at the last two IGD events at the undergraduate library were college students. However, librarians and library staff also attended, bringing their children to learn and play games like Settlers of Catan. An 8-year-old boy taught a library staff member how to play Settlers. A group of young teenage volunteers taught another librarian how to play the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game. Games are suitable for a wide range of age groups, and guess what? They do not discriminate!
Consider IGD at your library to attract a diversity of age groups to learn and play together!
Talking Points: Play, inclusion, and community-building
Welcome back folks! This is the fifth entry in our series about the importance of play. If you're just joining us, this series starts here. It also refers from time to time to our series about games last year which you can find here.
I've already covered this topic to some degree in the post on games, sharing culture, and connecting people: games, by providing a framework for interaction, enable a connection between people that requires no other common experience - there's no need to share an age, class, culture, occupation, or anything else; even a common language can be optional.
What I didn't do in that post was call out the fact that this means games and play can not only strengthen bonds that are already there, but work to break down the barriers that artificially divide us - or, if you prefer, to regrow the bonds of our common humanity that have been artificially severed.
They can do this in two ways, which we might label the "active" and "passive" modes.
The active mode is by using the stakes-free experimentation of play and the many tools at games' disposal to explore and undermine the false rationales that justify the mistreatment and exclusion of individuals for things other than the actual consequences of their behaviour.
For instance, games can abstract the systems and dynamics that foster bigotry and division from the specifics of their circumstances. Done well, this can not only give us a certain critical distance and a chance to see them from outside, just as well-written fiction can do, but even to inhabit other positions in those pecking orders. Jane Elliot's "Blue Eyed" sessions can be taken as a relatively extreme, intentionally highly emotional, and not entirely unproblematic example of this.[1]
(Two notes: First, to the extent that calling Elliot's necessarily unfun sessions of behaviour-according-to-arbitrary-rules "games" is a fair description - and before accusing me of trivialising them, bear in mind that I do not consider games any more inherently trivial, or slaves to entertainment, than books are - I would point out that they constitute another example of games tackling vital subjects in ways other media simply cannot.
Second, just as with fiction and other poetic ways to instil empathy or vicarious experience, there are limits on how much insight can be offered. After all, even if for the duration of the work the experience of persecution is simulated perfectly, the simple fact of knowing that it will end - and that you probably have control of when it will end - utterly transforms the experience. It's similar with any draining experience. Being a carer for an abusive invalid, having water drip on your forehead at irregular intervals, even the mild tedium of involuntary social isolation can drive you insane if you don't know when it will end. One of the strengths of Elliot's approach is that just as her blue-eyed audience are starting to refuse to take it any more, she takes that point - that they want to opt out of this arbitrary BS, but you don't get to do that with real-world oppression - and drills it home, by inviting people who have experienced ongoing racism to tell those stories at a time when their audience are primed to be receptive.)
Other games exist that seek to consciously explore these issues: Steal Away Jordan, dys4ia, Dog Eat Dog, Freedom: The Underground Railroad, This War of Mine, and many more.[2] While all these work in different and fascinating ways, and are worth your time and attention, I'd actually argue that besides the value of addressing these divisions consciously and intellectually, play and games do a great job of overcoming them experientially.
This is what I mean by the "passive" mode. Whether or not a game sets out to make us think about these issues, simply by giving us a chance to spend time in the company of those different from us on a somewhat more equal footing - because a game doesn't care who's playing it - we start to break down those barriers. Having to rely on ideas and stereotypes for our understanding of whole groups of people inevitably results in us thinking of them, and relating to them, in those terms. Having experience of a range of specific individuals from those groups means we can relate to them as people, and start to see what they have in common with other people in our life, lessening the power of the group identifier in our reflexive, emotional thinking, and bringing individual humans back into focus.
Again, I'm not asserting that just having a good time together (assuming we can see past our prejudices enough to do so in the first place) is a substitute for actually reflecting on and consciously attempting to dismantle the systems, symbols and generalisations that shape our lives in destructive ways. The bigot who sincerely thinks that <almost all X are terrible people, just not the X he happens to know, who are actually really lovely (for X), which proves he's not a bigot> is a genuine phenomenon, as well as a joke.
But that experience of the humanity of others is an indispensible complement to that more analytic approach: we are emotional, instinctive creatures as well as intellectual ones, and moment-to-moment most of us live in (and react from) our emotions at least as much as we do our intellects. Just as much of a joke (and just as tragic a joke) as the bigot-despite-his-own-experience is the idealist who understands intellectually that we're all equal and decries discrimination in principle, but who somehow still can't quite get comfortable with Those People - or help them feel comfortable around her.
It's possible to change ourselves at those primitive levels by sheer force of reason, but it's extraordinarily hard and almost never produces any kind of social ease. The best and fastest way to shift those basic, primal levels of our thought is by direct experience: by simply spending time enjoying ourselves in the company of people who are, in some way that matters more than it should, unlike us. And games and play give us a framework for doing exactly that: somewhere to bond together over shared effort and experience, where nothing is really at stake to prime our fear and anxiety responses.
You can imagine how these sorts of positive shared experiences could be provided ancillary to other media (book clubs, art appreciation societies, or what have you), all of which are very much to be encouraged. But only in games and similar playful experiences are they innate - and indeed beneficial, because arbitrary social barriers restrict the pool of possible fellow-players - to the form. Games and play give us an inherent incentive to make room in our lives for others as they really are, not as we think of them or as they are represented by someone else. That's pretty amazing stuff.

With the MLB Trade Deadline looming, the Cleveland Indians have two glaring needs: A catcher who can be a threat at the plate, and another bullpen arm (or two or three...). On Wednesday, MLB.com's Jerry Crasnick tweeted that the Indians could possibly kill two birds with one stone in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers in which they would acquire both catcher Jonathan Lucroy and reliever Will Smith.
While Lucroy isn't the defensive-type catcher that either Roberto Perez, Yan Gomes, or Chris Gimenez are, he would be a tremendous upgrade solely due to the fact that he is much better at the plate. So far this season, it's almost as though whoever is playing catcher for the Indians is an automatic out when they step in the batter's box. The right-hander would drastically change that. The 30-year-old has a .301/.362/.487 split with 16 doubles, three triples, 13 home runs, 50 RBIs, and five stolen bases in 92 games so far this season. In his seven-year career, all of which are with the Brewers, Lucroy has a .284/.343/.436 split with 156 doubles, 19 triples, 79 home runs, 387 RBIs, and 29 stolen bases in 802 games.
Of the 92 games he has played in so far in 2016, Lucroy has played 80 as a catcher, six at first base, and three as a designated hitter. The All Star has thrown out 40 percent of would-be base stealers (40 percent) this season. In his career, he has thrown out just 27 percent (176-of-465) but has greatly improved since 2013. While Lucroy may be worse defensively than the catchers who are currently on the Indians, his bat is such an improvement from the other catchers that his defense almost wouldn't be noticed.
Lucroy is in the final year of a five-year, $10.28 million deal he signed in 2012, with a team option in 2017. Obviously, if the Indians were to acquire the right-handed catcher, they would be able to accept that team option for next season as well.
Smith is a left-handed reliever that the Indians desperately need, along with an above-average bullpen arm as well. So far in 2016, the 27-year-old owns a 1-3 record with a 3.72 ERA and 18 strikeouts in 19.1 innings (24 games). In his brief five-year career so far that includes two seasons with the Kansas City Royals before going to the Brewers in 2014, Smith has a 17-18 record with a .395 ERA and 297 strikeouts in 271.1 innings (213 games). While he may not be a shutdown and scary left-hander out of the 'pen, he would still be an upgrade for the Indians.
The reliever will make $1.48 million this season, become arbitration eligible in 2017 and will be a free agent in 2020.
With both of these players being able to fill tremendous needs for the Indians, why not package them in a deal with the same team and acquire them both? While it remains to be seen if this is purely just a rumor of the club is legitimately trying to trade for both of these players from the Brewers, with the trade deadline coming Monday, this would be an easy way to fill two holes in this club.

Co-production and Commissioning Laura Able and Pete Fleischmann
Who we are
What we will talk about Why is advocacy important? What is co-production? Why is it important to co-produce the commissioning of advocacy?
Why it is advocacy important? We are all vulnerable at some points in our life We all need support We all have human rights We live in a democracy
What is co-production "Co-production is a relationship where professionals and citizens share power to plan and deliver support together, recognising that both have vital contributions to make in order to improve quality of life for people and communities." (Co-production critical friends group) "Co-production is about developing more equal partnerships between people who use services, carers and professionals." (SCIE )
Some quotes from IMHA users On the system… " it seems to be like a web these hospitals, once you get caught up in it it's very hard to get back out of it." On being told they were on a section... "If they did, it didn't go in anyway, it all went over my head. I just wasn't with it." On understanding their right to IMHA... "I didn't know I had the right and I wasn't the type to pursue it anyway, I didn't have the courage or the inclination or my sense of my rights to do that."
SCIE's Jigsaw Model
Culture (Organisations' cultures are the beliefs and values that shape them and the way they work) develop their culture so that co-production runs through the whole organisation build their culture on a shared understanding of what co-production means make their culture risk-aware rather than risk-averse.
Structure (The way the organisation is arranged and the systems it has set up to carry out its work) involve users and carers from the start value and reward everyone who takes part in the co- production ensure there are resources to cover the cost of co- production have a plan to make sure that everyone is able to communicate with each other build on existing structures and resources.
Practice (How the organisation and the people who work for it carry out their work) making sure that everything in the co-production process is accessible to everyone taking part ensuring everyone has the information they need to be part of co-production and decision-making providing training for everyone in co-production and any other skills they will need making sure that staff have time, resources and flexibility
Review regularly reviewing to ensure that co- production is making a real difference co-producing these reviews and evaluations using the findings from review processes to refresh co-production and support continuous learning.
Why it's important to co-produce commissioning of advocacy Commissioning is central to service quality Common sense to include service users Incorporate service user's perspective from the beginning of developing a service and throughout Cost benefits Service more likely to be well aligned with community
Good practice: Co-production in commissioning Honesty Ownership Being open to challenge Co-production at each stage Paying people Involvement in the tendering process Monitoring

Bad Doctor
After surgery I called and called and could not get the doctor to call me back. I ended up with pneumonia due to the doctor being on vacation and refusing to send me else where. He has a horrible bedside manner and it seemed I was taking up his time. But he had no problem taking my money.
Oh his wife worked with him and you would have thought they invented simple weight loss tips. Once I had surgery and began going to True Results many of his bad office procedures came to light. No wonder he is out of business. Thank God!!!

very good doctor
Dr. Wilkenfeld was my general surgeon before I had lapband surgery. He removed my gallbladder and did hernia repairs. Then at 320 pounds my health was going south , so I talk to him about the lapband. I had it done in oct 2012 and have lost over 200 pounds. It all depends on the persons body . Some peoples body rejects the lapband or sleeve and he explains everything about that. I think he is a great doctor and I would recommend him to anyone.

Using Escape Rooms to Gamify Learning
Monday, January 23, 2017 CommentEscape Rooms first came to America in 2012-2013 from Asia and Europe, quickly spreading across the country. As defined by Professor Scott Nicholson, "escape rooms are live action team based games where players discover clues, solve puzzles, and accomplish tasks in one or more rooms in order to accomplish a specific goal (usually escaping from the room) in a limited amount of time." It should come as little surprise, but before long, innovative educators were adapting the escape room format for a wide-range of content. Last year, at Minefaire, I met Adam Bellow. Adam was honored
Deconstructing Disneyland: An App-Based Media Literacy Experience
Monday, August 08, 2016 CommentIf Pokémon Go marked the beginning of the era of mass-market Augmented Reality Games (ARGs), Deconstructing Disneyland may mark the beginning of ARGs as mobile media literacy education tools. Media scholars, game designers, technologists, educators, and students at Brigham Young University are finishing an "immersive mobile app that encourages users to critically engage with the popular theme park, expanding their media literacy skills while enhancing their Disney experience." associate professor of design Brent Barson, student Chris Bowles, associate professor of media arts Jeff Parkin, and assistant professor of media arts Benjamin Thevenin plan to present their
The Secret Sauce in Pokémon Go: Big Data
Thursday, July 14, 2016 CommentUnless you've been holed-up in a cave playing Minecraft, you've heard about (and possibly even played) the new augmented reality (AR) mobile game sweeping the globe, Pokémon Go. For sure, AR can be exciting and compelling, when properly designed, offering us an experience of co-presence with a virtual character or object. And, it'd be understandable if you attributed Nintendo's success to its use of the AR camera. But, you'd be wrong. The game's AR succeeds, in fact, because it turned big data into a game. With Pokémon Go, we are offered the opportunity to pretend our
Watchworthy Wednesday: The Minecraft Effect
Wednesday, July 06, 2016 CommentMinecraft, the Lego-like building video game, is such a massive hit that the New York Times Magazine recently made it the subject of a cover story. What makes the game such a global sensation is its power to encourage an interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) — those pesky fields that Americans don't seem to be able to conquer. U.S. students lag behind 34 other countries in math and behind 26 countries in science, according to a Pew Research Center study. "The game encourages kids to regard logic and if-then statements as fun things
How Games Transform Museum Experience
Monday, October 12, 2015 CommentOfficially, James Collins is the Digital Media Project Manager at the Smithsonian Center for Learning and Digital Access, working across all 19 Smithsonian museums, nine research centers, and the National Zoo. But, to me, as someone deeply interested in how games can transform museum visitor experiences, he's the right guy in the right place at the right time. His email sig reads "Games are a series of interesting choices." Yup, the guy I want to speak with. I ran into James recently at the Serious Play Conference in Pittsburgh and we sat down to explore his
Designed Equity: Reflection on Youth-focused Game Jam in South Central LA
Thursday, June 18, 2015 CommentIn his concluding remarks during his DML 2015 session, "Designing Classroom Equity: Connected Learning and Co-Designed Research from Across the National Writing Project," DML Conference Committee member and Columbia University Professor Ernest Morrell noted: "Technologies are tools; love is a foundation; humanity is the end." Dr. Morrell's note pushes educators to move beyond an idolization of digital gadgetry and think purposefully about what work related to connected learning looks like in sustained execution. To this extent, while I spent most of the last week in downtown Los Angeles basking in the inspired scholarship on display at
Game Impact: New Report on Field Cohesion
Thursday, May 21, 2015 CommentAfter more than a decade, the field of social impact games may be mature enough to step back and investigate how "impact" is understood. To start the conversation, Games for Change has released a new report, published by ETC Press. (The report was co-authored by myself, Nicole Walden, Gerad O'Shea, Francesco Nasso, Giancarlo Mariutto and Asi Burak. Our advisory group included game scholars and designers like Tracy Fullerton, Debra Lieberman and Constance Steinkuehler.) Right now may be an inflexion point in the evolution of games in the public interest — from civic learning to fighting asthma.
Looking Ahead to Games for Change
Thursday, March 19, 2015 CommentGrowing to the thousands of attendees and general public that will encounter the games, ideas, and fun that are a part of this year's Games for Change Festival hasn't been easy. Asi Burak, president of Games for Change reflected on the growth that the organization and the movementhas experienced over the past decade. Emphasizing Action As an academic, so much of my time at conferences is spent either presenting to a largely passive audience or quietly consuming (or daydreaming) other people's panels, lectures, and posters. Sure, the conference space can be enlivened through engaging activity and digital dialogue, butconferences are places I spend a lot
IndieCade, Part 2: Anxieties About GamerGate
Thursday, November 13, 2014 CommentThe so-called "GamerGate" controversy about the independent games movement, which has finally reached the pages of the New York Times, has become the big story this fall. I have provided a wrap-up of some of the issues in a blog posting for those who can use a #GamerGate 101. Every celebrity from Joss Whedon to Adam Savage seems to have weighed in with an opinion. There also have been more interesting responses from within the independent games movement, including from Polygon's Christopher Grant and from Frank Lantz, director of the NYU Game Center. Because hostilities to the
Wolf Sharks, Energy Drinks and Learning Standards: Reflections from White House Education Game Jam
Thursday, September 11, 2014 CommentIt's 6:30 Sunday morning and the loft-like space that houses the educational software company Difference Engine echoes the metronome like taps of a ping pong ball flying across the table. It's not clear how much the Rovio team members (the trio from Finland that were partly responsible for unleashing Angry Birds upon the world) have slept, but their energy has yet to slow as they move steadily into hour 20 of intense programming. This is what happens when you throw a bunch of game developers and educators in a room and encourage them to make better,

Our version is a little different, but the same idea. I cut the top and bottom out of a cardboard box, then taped it off in a diamond pattern and spray painted.
I had this piece of cardboard from another box. It fit perfectly for the top. I spray painted it and traced the circle using a small trash can as my template, then cut it out with a box cutter.
This is how it looked before I taped the edges to keep it securely attached.
I cut armholes for the sides, again using the box cutter. I used duct tape to attach the top on the inside and clear package tape for the outside.
And, voila'!
We had these pants from an old jester costume. The belled collar is actually a dog collar from the $1 aisle at Target, and the hat, well that was a Halloween store purchase that will get lots of wear for crazy dress up days at school.
Isn't it cute!
What are your trick or treaters wearing tonight?
