I usually lurk on here, butĀit seemsĀthat most of us are dealing withĀrelatives who have made some unreasonable demands of us. Why not have a thread to share some unreasonable demands that your relatives have made? I've seen wedding drama, delivery room drama, bad habits, annoying things they say, etc.
I will start.
- Husband's great-grandfather was Jewish, but married a Lutheran woman (husband's great-grandmother) and converted to Lutheranism. This couple raised mil (mother-in-law) from 2 yrs. old to adult. They never practiced the Jewish faith. Never practiced any Jewish customs. I am Lutheran. My husband believes in God, but has no desire to join or practice any religion. Our kids are baptized Lutherans-with husband's blessing. Mil demanded of me once that she be allowed to take our kids to a synagogue so that they could "study Judaism". This was after finding out that I was taking the kids to church with me. Uh, no. Mil is not a member of the Jewish faith, or any other faith. I think that taking a child to any house of worship, expressing an interest in the child learning about that faith, and having no intention of following through with it is wrong.
- My oldest child once fell down on a sidewalk at my mother's house. He broke his front tooth (fortunately a baby tooth). Mil demanded that I make my mother pay the dentist's bill because it was her sidewalk my son fell on.
- My parents have demanded to never be invited to a birthday party, family gathering, etc. where my il's are present, because they don't get along. Sorry, not holding two birthday parties for one child.
- Mil getting upset because I booked a plane ticket to visit relatives in another state, this was to go to a baby shower that was the same weekend as mil's birthday. Mil and I aren't close, she never celebrates her birthdays. Mil was mad because "husband never has it worked out and I will end up at your house, doing your job". Yeah, I leave plenty of pre-made meals, clean clothes for everyone and diapers for the baby. Sorry, don't see your name on our marriage license. If I want to leave town for the weekend, for any reason, the only person I need to check with is my husband.
- Mil demanding that my mother check with her before going on vacation. Other than wanting to control EVERYthing, I still haven't figured out the why? of that one.
- Mil demanding that she be invited to my brother and sil's wedding. Um, the wedding is 700 miles away from where you live, sil has never met you and brother doesn't like you. Sure your grandson was the ring bearer, but that's what photos are for.
- Fil and mil (mother-in-law) getting mad at me and husband for hiring a baby-sitter so that we could go out with friends for dinner and a comedy show. Mil saying "you really should stay out and raise your kids". Don't know what she thinks I do, but one night out every 6 mos. does not equal child neglect.
Come on-surely we all have heard a few unreasonable demands! Post them for entertainment value.

So…rummaging through some old YouTube uploads, I came across an old homemade music video of my old band from 2005. Had to have a good laugh… oh, we had so much to learn. We were such kids… I'm behind the drums.
here's the music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gff56k_ygGg

Beavers Look to Tame Cougars on the Palouse
FIRST TRIP TO PULLMAN: This the Beavers first trip to Pullman since No. 20 OSU defeated the Cougars 42-10 on a blustery Nov. 21, 2009 day in front of 16,167 fans. Two current Beavers played in that game: Michael Philipp started at right tackle and Jovan Stevenson, both true freshman, played running back accounting for 61 yards and a late fourth quarter touchdown on a three-yard run. Jacquizz Rodgers led the Beaver attack with 165 yards rushing and two touchdowns, while Sean Canfield passed for 231 yards and two touchdowns. WSU leads the overall series 48-46-3, but OSU has won five of the last six, including a 44-21 win in 2011 at CenturyLink Field in Seattle.
LONG RIVALRY: The Beavs-Cougs rivalry is one of the lengthier ones in the Pac-12 Conference, ranking tied for sixth in terms of number of games played with 97. Here is a look at the most contested games – Civil War (116), Big Game (115), Apple Cup (105), UW vs. UO (105), Cal vs. USC (99), OSU vs. WSU (97), OSU vs. UW (97). This is the deepest into the season that the Beavers and Cougars have played with both teams boasting more wins than loses since an Oct. 25, 2003 meeting in Pullman that featured the No. 22 5-2 Beavers against the No. 6 6-1 Cougars – WSU won that game 36-30.
ROAD BEAVERS: OSU is currently in a stretch where it plays just one home game over a six-week span. Following Saturday's game the Beavers finish the current span with a game at California. It's the first time OSU has played three of its first four conference games on the road since the 1998 team opened the year with three away games. Following the game at Cal, the Beavers will have just one remaining trip that requires a charter flight (@ ASU), while all remaining Pac-12 teams have at least two with Utah, Colorado, USC and Arizona State each having three.
A LONG NIGHT IN THE PALOUSE: It figures to be a long night with two of the most prolific passing teams in the nation battling it out. OSU ranks second in the nation for passing yards per game at 420.7 while WSU is eighth at 359.7. The Beavers' average would erase the current Pac-12 record of 373.4 yards per game by Arizona State in 2005 and would be the 11th-highest average in NCAA history. All of that means even a longer night for the Beavers as the team returned from earlier road games at Utah at 4:30 a.m. PDT (5:30 a.m. MDT) and 3 a.m. from San Diego State.

Made from 100% washable cashmere, this luxurious activewear set is woven from one of the world's rarest, softest fibers yet retains its supple feel and shape after countless wash cycles. The cashmere is spun using a patented, high-tension knitting technique and is exposed to a proprietary, non-toxic treatment, creating extra-tight, durable fibers that withstand machine washing. Hand-combed from the fine, downy undercoat of Cashmere goats in Inner Mongolia, the cashmere fibers are spun into a 2-ply, 25-weight yarn, and knitted to create a warm fabric with high napability and loft. The garment is woven for optimal breathability, yet it retains body heat, ensuring comfort during brisk walks outdoors or while running errands. Includes a zip-front hooded jacket and a pair of drawstring elastic-waist pants. Imported. Machine wash. Specify Gray or Black. Women's sizes S (4-6), M (8-10), L (12-14) or XL (16-18). (1 lb.)

Not quite as thick as I expected
By Rosie
from Los Angeles, CA
This very pretty cashmere lounging set is a whole lot prettier than sweat pants and a sweat shirt. I haven't washed it yet so cannot attest to its washability.Nonetheless, the two ply cashmere is a bit thin...I expected it to be thicker. I wear it with a t-shirt underneath and that adds a layer of warmth.I am in California where we do not keep our houses as warm as easteners do.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

my wife enjoys them
By randy
from sarnia, canada
my wife enjoys wearing the garments i ordered as a surprise. It is always dangerous to order for one's wife without consulting her but i was quite certain that she would be appreciative. she is.
Not Quality Cashmere
By dlj
from Kettering, OH
The cashmere was rough and scratchy - not the quality of cashmere that I usually buy, but you take that chance when you buy material you haven't been able to feel. I sent it back. Nice design, though. Hammacher usually has better quality.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

NEWBERRY, S.C.-Brevard College's Katie Williams hit a pair of free throws to make it a one-point game with one second remaining but the Tornados couldn't find the equalizer in a 61-58 loss to the Newberry College Wolves in Eleazer Arena on Saturday afternoon.
BC (4-10, 3-7 SAC) was forced to foul following Williams' free throws, and a Shelby Wolfe personal sent Tasia Holdorf to the line for Newberry (9-5, 5-5 SAC) with less than a second remaining. Holdorf hit both foul shots to make it a three-point game and the Tornados were unable to get a shot off after inbounding the ball with less than a second on the clock.
The Tornados were trailing 59-54 with 17 seconds remaining in the game before a furious Tornado rally pushed the game to the wire.
Madison Lenox hit a layup with nine seconds remaining to make it 59-56 before BC took a 30-second timeout. A steal by Taylor Hiatt with three seconds left resulted in the Newberry foul that put Williams on the line.
The Tornados led 27-26 at the half but the Wolves used a 15-4 run midway through the second half to take a 10-point lead, forcing BC to work from behind for the rest of the contest.
Williams paced BC with 18 points, including an 8-for-9 effort from the foul line and a team-high three assists. Wolfe added 15 points and a team-high eight rebounds.
The Tornados return home on Wednesday night as they host the Anderson Trojans in Boshamer Gymnasium for a 6 p.m. tipoff. The Trojans took round one 90-54 in Abney Athletic Center on November 20th.

Brevard, N.C. - With the holidays coming up, the Brevard College softball team reached out to the community, volunteering at the Bread of Life on November 13th and 20th.
The Tornados were given a tour of the Bread of Life facility and helped in food preparation during their two days at the organization.
The Bread of Life is a non-profit organization that works closely with the sharing house and with churches in the community to provide food to those in need. The organization spends two days a week to prepare food to serve for the rest of the week. The Bread of Life serves food to an average of 150 people per day and will not turn anyone who comes in away.
The Bread of Life receives donations from people within the community and does not accept anything from outside sources. For more information on how to contact the Bread of Life, contact softball head coach Britne Stubbs at (828) 884-8346.
The softball team will continue to reach out to the community as they are planning to adopt a family for Christmas, and are excited about other possibilities to reach out and help others.

WEPL Premier One second XI
Bridgwater II 207-8 beat Frocester II 183 by 24 runs
BRIDGWATER second XI remain top of the pile in Premier One after a 24-run victory over Frocester on Saturday.
A match-winning partnership of 118 between Andrew Skidmore and Tom Pople helped Bridgwater recover from 83-6 to post 207-8 from their 45 overs - before Chris Singleton and Matt Habberfield took four wickets apiece to dismiss Frocester with four balls to spare.
A destructive opening spell from Frocester's Nabi Ahmadzai (4-30) had reduced Bridgwater to 45-4 as he accounted for the top four.
And when Alistair Witts fell for just five and Ed habberfield without scoring, Bridgwater were in a whole heap or trouble at 83-6.
Andrew Skidmore could only watch as the wickets tumbled at the other end, but he found a sturdy partner in Tom Pople and the pair combined to dig Bridgwater out of a hole.
Pople scored a fluent 63 at quicker than a run-a-ball, while Skidmore was more watchful with 81 from 109 balls - as Bridgwater finished on 207-8.
In reply, Frocester lost wickets at regular intervals and Scott Clapp joined Habberfield and Singleton in the wickets column.
It was Singleton who took the final wicket, having Downey (24) caught by Kitch to keep Bridgwater's title dreams well and truly alive.

As the Caribbean's third-largest island, Jamaica has no shortage of beaches, ranging from the North Coast's tourist-filled stretches of sand lined by exclusive resorts to the nearly deserted beaches of the South Coast, where beach action often means a fisherman cleaning his catch.
North- and west-coast beaches tend to be busy, well supplied with amenities, and blessed with large expanses of sand. Both Negril (and its lovely Seven Mile Beach) and Montego Bay (which has both Doctor's Cave and Half Moon Bay) are renowned for their beaches, and both have many resorts directly on the beach to choose from. Beaches on the South Coast are generally less crowded but are smaller, with fewer services. The best South Coast beaches are in the Treasure Beach area near Calabash Bay. Kingston-area beaches are generally congested; ask your hotel concierge before heading out to any of them. Some of the best beaches are private, owned by the resorts and accessible only to resort guests or travelers who have purchased a day pass to gain access to the facilities.

Charges Against OC Fire Authority Vet Dismissed
The dismissal of the charges was part of the plea bargain Gregory Mark Konishi, 49, struck with prosecutors in May. Konishi, of Rancho Santa Margarita, pleaded guilty in May to two misdemeanor counts each of second- degree burglary and petty theft.
The case was dismissed because Konishi finished a "life skills" class that focused on theft issues and because he stayed out of trouble before sentencing today, according to Deputy District Attorney Brett Brian, who negotiated the plea deal with Konishi.
Konishi agreed to pay about $200 in restitution to his co-worker, a fire captain he worked with who was his friend, Brian said.
When the captain noticed money missing from his wallet he set up a "snoop camera" and called police when he caught Konishi stealing, Brian said.
According to police, Konishi stole $40 on two separate occasions.
Konishi was arrested Nov. 8 and retired the following month, OCFA Division Chief Kris Concepcion said.

Monroe Community College '09
I'm from…Farmington, N.Y.
My major is...Engineering & Management
I transferred to Clarkson because…I knew it was one of the best engineering schools in the country and it had a unique interdisciplinary major where I could combine business with engineering.
Being a student at Clarkson has helped me…broaden my horizons for how many opportunities are out there for me. I recently interviewed for summer 2010 internships with Johnson & Johnson and Lockheed Martin's nuclear power plant!
I was well prepared for Clarkson because…I was able to break bad study habits, grow mentally, and figure out what I really wanted to do with my future while at MCC.
On campus, I'm involved in…The Clarkson University Transfer Student Association, the Outdoor Club, and a bunch of sports clubs like biking, skiing and hockey. They definitely keep me in shape!
What's hot on my plate right now…is getting involved as much as I can on campus and competing in competitive bicycle races on the weekends.
When I graduate, I want to…be successful in whatever I do and be able to give back to my community because not many people are fortunate enough to go to college. I'm hoping to work in the bicycle industry for a company like Colnago Bikes (they work with Ferrari) and design innovative bike frames out of new materials.
Check out more Clarkson student profiles here!

KEYNOTE SPEAKER...Presented by Veolia Water NA
Doc Palmer, PE, MBA, CMRP
Author of McGraw-Hill's Maintenance Planning and Scheduling Handbook
"Maintenance Planning and Scheduling: Increase Your Workforce without Hiring"
Doc Palmer has over three decades of industrial experience as a practitioner primarily within the maintenance department of the Jacksonville Electric Authority, a major United States electric utility. From 1990 through 1994, Palmer was responsible for overhauling the existing maintenance planning organization. The resulting success played a role in expanding planning to all crafts and stations owned and operated by the utility. Publisher McGraw-Hill subsequently sought out Palmer to author the Maintenance Planning and Scheduling Handbook published in 1999 and now in its third edition (2013). Palmer also directed the purchase and implementation of a CMMS and administered the preventive maintenance program. Additionally, he has delivered numerous well-received maintenance articles and presentations for industry. Currently Palmer provides guidance, mentoring, and training for companies internationally for maintenance planning success.

Sounds like your friend is breaking the law. I suggest you don't follow his lead - accessing computer systems without appropriate authorisation is illegal, and we wont tolerate discussion of illegal activities here, so Im asking everyone to keep this in mind when responding.
If you want to know whether what your friend says about it being likely that you can get caught doing this type of thing is true, my answer is Yes. He is right about that. Especially if you are an amateur.
Once you get enough experience in the area of penetration testing you will understand that capturing information from a compromised server is not really that complicated. However given the context of this thread, and given how hard it is to tell someone without the proper background knowledge "How to Hack" I am obviously not going to go into detail about it here.
If you want to learn about the subject that's good, there's plenty of information here and on the Net for this. Make sure you learn on your own test systems though, and don't go breaking into other peoples systems without permission.

10 ways to prevent infections in pregnancy
I came across this resource today produced by the centres for disease control and prevention that lists ten things every woman can do to help reduce the chance of infection during pregnancy. I thought I'd share it here as I find this type of information helpful.
Most of the list I had already heard of (e.g. washing your hands, not touching cat litter, avoiding certain foods) but I was surprised to read this:
"Try not to share forks, cups, and food with young children. Wash your hands often when around children. Their saliva and urine might contain a virus. It is likely harmless to them, but it can be dangerous for you and your unborn baby." CDC
I do share cutlery with my toddler but apparently there is a risk of contracting a virus called CMV by doing this. Does anyone know any more about this and how great a risk this is?

LJ ~ I agree knew about all the things on that list, well I didn't now about the Strep B until I had that test done while I was pregnant. I think they tested me twice now that I think about it midway and then later closer to giving birth. I however never heard about CMV and not sharing cutlery. I thought the worst that could happen was getting a runny nose or something I guess it's good to avoid doing that just in case.
22nd March 2012 10:32 PM #3
I didn't have a Strep B test carried out during my last pregnancy - do you know if this is routine?
Yes I agree DoubleSunshine: don't want to take any risks!

I was told it was routine but it may not be that way everywhere. I think they are usually done close to giving birth and I had one done at around 25 weeks when I had a threat of preterm labour and was placed on bed rest and then they did another one closer to my actual due date. I believe that it was just a simple swab test similar to a pap.

Has anyone tried this and found any successful results?
rjoday....... I have been taking milk thistle once a day. A couple others on this site take as well. As far as working or successful results, my liver tumor remains stable is all I can say. I surely don't think it has done any harm.
Take Care!
Jeff G.
I have been taking milk thistle three times a day since I was diagnosed four years ago. I'm convinced it's one of the reasons I'm doing well and that, though I had a recurrence, it hasn't gotten into my liver.
Good luck!
I take milk thistle every day. Before I started taking the milk thistle, I never had a platelet count above 95k. (I have chronic low platelets from 20+ years of hepatitis B infection and cirrhosis). After starting the milk thistle I have consistently had platelet counts of 103-123k, which is my best ever in 15 years. I am convinced the milk thistle is responsible in part for this change.
In addition, milk thistle is thought to potentiate chemotherapy treatment. There is a phase II study regarding milk thistle in conjunction with chemotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma. (see www.clinicalstudies.gov)
Anyone else out there taking milk thistle?

Letter From Dr. Stephen I. Katz: The Effects of Sequestration on the NIH
Dear Colleagues:
In follow-up to last month's letter about grant applications that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) receives and the peer review process through which they are evaluated, I wanted to take this opportunity to update you on the NIAMS' budget. Ultimately, the Institute's budget dictates the number of outstanding grants that we can fund. Like the rest of the NIH, the NIAMS is operating under the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2013 (Public Law 113-6), as well as the Budget Control Act of 2011 (Public Law 112-25 [PDF - 190 KB]). The mandatory budget cuts required by the Budget Control Act (which you may have heard referred to as "sequestration") are having a real impact on the NIAMS, on investigators across the nation whose work relies on federal funds, and on patients and their families who are eagerly awaiting the next advances that will improve their lives.
James Katz Named Director of the NIAMS Rheumatology Fellowship and Training Branch

NIAMS To Host Upcoming Twitter Chat on PROMIS®
The NIAMS (@NIH_NIAMS) will host its first Twitter Chat on September 19, 2013, from 1–2 p.m., to discuss the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS), an initiative supported by the NIAMS and other NIH Institutes through the NIH Common Fund. PROMIS® experts will be on hand to answer your questions. PROMIS® is a system of highly reliable, precise measures of patient-reported health statuses for physical, mental and social well-being. PROMIS® tools can accurately measure what patients are able to do and how they feel when asking questions. More information is to come.
NIH, Lacks Family Reach Understanding to Share Genomic Data of HeLa Cells
The NIH recently announced in Nature that it has reached an understanding with the family of the late Henrietta Lacks to allow biomedical researchers controlled access to the whole genome data of cells derived from her tumor, commonly known as HeLa cells. These cells have already been used extensively in scientific research and have helped make possible some of the most important medical advances of the past 60 years. These include the development of modern vaccines, cancer treatments, in vitro fertilization techniques, and many others. HeLa cells are the most widely used human cell lines in existence today. Access to the whole genome data of these cells will be a valuable reference tool for researchers using HeLa cells in their research.
Therapy for Severe Vasculitis Shows Long-Term Effectiveness: NIH-Funded Study Finds That Rituximab Is as Effective as Standard Therapy, Requires Shorter Treatment Duration
Administering the drug rituximab once weekly for one month provides the same benefits as 18 months of daily immunosuppressive therapy in people with severe forms of vasculitis, or inflammation of the blood vessels, a study has found.
Ultrasound Patch Heals Venous Ulcers in Human Trial: NIH-Funded Study Finds New Technique Could Significantly Accelerate Tissue Repair, Reduce Costs for Chronic Wound Management
In a small clinical study, researchers administered a new method for treating chronic wounds using a novel ultrasound applicator that can be worn like a band-aid. The applicator delivers low-frequency, low-intensity ultrasound directly to wounds, and was found to significantly accelerate healing in five patients with venous ulcers. Venous ulcers are caused when valves in the veins malfunction, causing blood to pool in the leg instead of returning to the heart. This pooling, called venous stasis, can cause proteins and cells in the vein to leak into the surrounding tissue leading to inflammation and formation of an ulcer.

Weekly and Twice-Weekly Yoga Classes Offer Similar Low-Back Pain Relief in Low-Income Minority Populations
Results of a National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine-funded study found that once-weekly yoga classes relieved pain, improved function and reduced the need for pain medication just as well as twice-weekly classes in minority and low-income populations with chronic low-back pain. Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine, Boston Medical Center, Boston University School of Public Health, Group Health Research Institute and the University of Washington published their findings in the online journal Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Individual Development Plans for NIH-supported Trainees
The NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) continues to make progress on implementing the recommendations proposed by the Advisory Committee to the NIH Director (ACD) working group, which studied the biomedical research workforce. The NIH has just posted a Notice in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts announcing that the NIH encourages grantees to develop an institutional policy requiring an Individual Development Plan (IDP) for every graduate student and postdoctoral researcher supported by any NIH grant, regardless of the type of NIH grant that is used for support. The NIH encourages grantee institutions to describe the use of the IDP in the Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) for all projects reporting graduate student and/or postdoctoral researchers. Instructions for reporting IDPs in the RPPR will be available on October 18, 2013.
NIH Director's Blog
Strengthening Clinical/Translational Research in the U.S.
At the NIH, our job—in a nutshell—is to turn discoveries into health. Even if you've only read this blog a few times, you know we conduct and support basic science advances, clinical breakthroughs—and everything between. We call that "between" process, "translation." And it takes sustained creativity, innovation, attention—and collaboration—to do it well. In this blog, Dr. Collins discusses the recent Institute of Medicine Report on the NIH's Clinical and Translational Science Awards program.
Promoting the Long-Term Marriage of Bone and Implant
Hip, knee, and shoulder joints get worn over time, or damaged by disease or injury. They often require replacement because they cause pain and inhibit movement. Orthopedic surgeons perform more than 1 million joint replacements each year. The worn bone is replaced with plastic or metal implants and cemented in place. The surgery can provide immense relief and restore mobility. But sometimes, these implants don't integrate well with the bone, and ultimately they break free. Replacement surgeries are costly, increase the risk of infection and are a major challenge for the patient to endure. But recently, an NIH-funded team of chemical engineers at MIT developed a special coating for implants that promotes a stronger connection to new bone.
Transforming Big Data Into Big Knowledge
As technology allows us to tackle mind-boggling tasks like sequencing an entire human genome (or 10) in a few hours, or recording thousands of neurons chattering in the brain, or imaging an entire organ or body in super high-resolution, we are generating enormous quantities of data—think tera, peta- and even exa-bytes. The challenge presented by this revolution is the need to develop and implement hardware and software that can store, retrieve and analyze this mountain of complex data—and transform it into knowledge that can improve our understanding of human health and disease.

FDA Reminds Consumers To Always Use Acetaminophen Safely
On several occasions, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has asked its expert advisory committees for advice about acetaminophen, which is used to treat pain and fever. Based on this advice and extensive review of the available scientific evidence, the FDA continues to believe that acetaminophen's benefits outweigh its risks. With that said, however, no medicine is without any risk, and that includes acetaminophen.

MWL notes: Vasquez proud of roots
Tigers prospect adjusting after leaving Venezuelan homeland
By Curt Rallo / Special to MLB.com | May 16, 2013 6:00 AM ET
When Detroit Tigers prospect Danry Vasquez shows up at the dusty diamonds of baseball-mad Ocumare Del Tuy, Venezuela, gloves drop, bats drop and the players sprint to get a high five or a hug.
Vasquez, an outfielder with Class A West Michigan this season, unleashes a magnetic personality in his hometown that has youngsters flocking to him.
"I'm from a really small town in Venezuela, but we have 10 baseball teams," Vasquez said. "When I go to the baseball fields, the children always run to see me.
"I always bring some things to the teams -- batting gloves, baseballs, bats. They always want me to get out and play. I'm not a big leaguer, but I'm helping them as much as I can. The children make me feel good. I always try to talk to all the people and be nice, I get a lot of questions on Facebook from the younger players who want advice on hitting. I always answer them."
Vasquez's roots are important to him as he seeks to work his way to Comerica Park, but the transition from the baseball he grew up with in Venezuela to professional ball has been a culture shock at times for the 6-foot-3, 177-pound outfielder.
"In Venezuela, baseball is for fun," Vasquez said. "It's like a hobby. Here, in the pros, you're playing like a war. You have to do everything right every day. You have your routine every day. You have to get more serious every day. Today's a new day. I have to be more serious today than I was yesterday. I have to work hard today to get better than I was yesterday. I get paid to play baseball now. It's so different now, but I'm glad I play professional baseball."
Detroit signed Vasquez, the No. 4-ranked prospect in the Tigers organization, according to MLB.com, for $1.2 million when he was 16 years old.
"The scouts saw me when I was 14," Vasquez said. "The Detroit Tigers did a good job. They never put their eyes in another place if I wasn't playing there. They were at every game for me. They kept saying, 'We want Danry.' They took video of me hitting and fielding and spent a lot of time with me."
The left-handed hitter is batting .248 with the Whitecaps. He led the short-season New York-Penn League with 90 hits last year, batting .313 for the season.
"Danry has a natural knack for hitting," West Michigan hitting coach Scott Dwyer said. "It's something he really has a passion for. As a 19-year-old, he's maturing into a fine young hitter in the sense that he really likes to work at it. It's exciting to watch. He's so young. You don't know what the future holds for him. It's exciting to see him grow within our organization. He's one of those types of guys who can go to the plate, and you don't know what's going to happen.
"He does not like to fail," Dwyer added. "He's handling failure better as he's maturing, but he still doesn't like it. He puts in the time to make sure that he doesn't fail -- he watches video, he puts in extra work. He's made adjustments from when he was in this league last year, and you can definitely see it."
After Vasquez signed with Detroit, the Tigers switched him from shortstop to outfield.
"I always played shortstop, some third base," Vasquez said. "I never played outfield. But the Tigers wanted me to play outfield. It's different. I like outfield. I can play outfield. Tt's just catch the ball and throw the ball to a cutoff man. It's not a big deal. I love left field -- that's my position. I'm learning the little things about the position, my coaches have helped me a lot."
Dwyer said Vasquez has shown positive development as an outfielder.
"When Danry came to the States, one concern was his fielding," Dwyer said. "Now he's realized that in order to get to the big leagues, you have to do more than hit. He's putting in his time as an outfielder. Gene Roof, our outfielder coordinator, has done tremendous work with him and spent a lot of time with him. His defense has gotten better."
In brief
Ex-Bandits haunt QC: Quad Cities was haunted by players who wore River Bandits uniforms when the club was part of the Cardinals' farm system. Tyrell Jenkins, Jordan Walton and Quad Cities are now affiliated with the Astros. Pitcher Jenkins and outfielder Walton, who played for the River Bandits last season, helped Peoria score a 6-3 victory over Quad Cities on May 11. Walton blasted two homers -- the first ones of his professional career -- to power Peoria's offense. Walton hit .149 in 18 games late last season for Quad Cities. Jenkins, a first-round pick by the Cardinals, earned the victory. He was 4-4 last season in Quad Cities.
Streak setback?: West Michigan's Devon Travis had a 20-game hitting streak, the longest of the season and the second-longest in Whitecaps history, but he could see it reduced to 18 games and dropped to third on the all-time Whitecaps' hit streak list -- West Michigan will complete a game from May 10 that was suspended due to rain on May 19. If Travis goes hitless in the completion of the suspended game, his hitting streak ends at 18, since the continued game will count as having been played May 10. West Michigan's Jeff Holm has a 26-game on-base streak that could also be affected by the suspended game.
Seager sidelined: Corey Seager, a first-round pick (No. 18 overall) last season and the No. 4-rated prospect in the Dodgers organization, was placed on the seven-day disabled list with a hamstring injury. Seager, a third baseman, is hitting .267 for Great Lakes this season.

text: Yes I can get it for about 180 with the 20% off coupon. Just checking if there are any other alternatives to shop around (aka for the best fit etc). I actually just got their double breasted peacoat for a very good deal. Same. I couldn't pass up the 250 pc for only 175--especially since just down the mall hall the GAP and Express versions, and even the Ralph Lauren, looked like utter crap for nearly the same price. In spite of the BR hate around here, I think BR is exceptional in the area of outerwear, especially for the price. $180 is not bad for a trim overcoat like that. The thing about BR's outerwear, too, is that it's trim without feeling supermodel tight. Let's me feel like I can have that extra pint in the evening without worrying if that middle button will close.

BREVARD, N.C.- The Brevard College men's lacrosse team made history on Saturday afternoon by defeating the Lees-McRae Bobcats 11-4 in the first ever lacrosse game on the campus of Brevard College.
The Tornados (1-1) scored six unanswered goals over the final two quarters to hold off the Bobcats (0-1), who made it a one-score game at the 12:15 mark in the 3rd quarter before the run by BC put the game away.
Freshman Alsharif Blackman led the Tornados with four goals and a pair of assists while teammates Blair Alexandersen placed in a hat trick and an assist. Andrew Bonnie added two goals and distributed three assists for the Tornados.
Lees-McRae's Kyle Judge got the Bobcats on the board with the game's first goal less than three minutes into the action before Alexandersen tied the game at one apiece at the 10:06 mark.
The game was tied at 2-2 and later 3-3 before BC scored two straight to take a 5-3 lead into halftime, thanks to goals from Bonnie and then Blackman.
BC goalie Andrew Reilly collected 12 saves on the afternoon, and kept the Bobcats out of the net for the final 27:15 of action.
Brevard continues their three-game home stand against Mercy College on February 15th at 3 p.m.

JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn.- Four Tornados scored in double figures but it wasn't enough for the Brevard College men's basketball team (3-10, 3-6 SAC) as they fell 101-73 to the Carson-Newman Eagles (9-4, 6-3 SAC) in Holt Fieldhouse on Wednesday night.
Darius Moose scored BC's first five points to help the Tornados take an early 7-2 lead before the Eagles were able to get their offense out of the gate.
Carson-Newman then stormed to a 15-point lead on the shoulders of a 23-3 run that put the C-N in front 25-10 with 12:46 remaining in the opening half. The Eagles held a 59-35 advantage at the half.
The Eagles continued to build their lead and were able to coast to the win in the second half. Ishmael Sanders and Antoine Davis anchored the Eagles by scoring 29 and 27 points, respectively.
Dominique Pickett was the front man offensively for BC, scoring 17 points and adding a team-high six rebounds. The senior was 6-of-10 from the floor, including 3-for-6 from beyond the arc.
Moose and Trevon Shaw were not far behind for BC, both going netting 16 points and combining for seven rebounds. Moose also had a team-high four assists.
Jake Pifer also tallied 11 points for the Tornados, his second consecutive game scoring in double figures after a 15-point effort against Catawba on Saturday.
The Tornados continue on the road on Saturday afternoon as they visit the Newberry Wolves for a 4 p.m. tipoff from Eleazer Arena.

If given the opportunity would Bradley Cooper hook up with Lindsay Lohan?
39 Comments on "Your Turn"
Bad analogy Ramon. Even if yer eating fillet mignon every night, sometimes a greazy and sleazy burger is a nice guilty treat.
Lilo grosses me out but am i the only one wondering what the fuss is about? I mean, people actually pay to ride her..
No. Mr. Cooper is a pussy gourmand. Lohan would be like going from Kobe steak to a McDonald's cheeseburger.
These comments are cracking me up!!!
Only if he could keep his helmet on.
He did the Ho bag. That's what turned him
Bradley bats for the other team, so highly unlikely.
Geez, with all those cool questions people were offering up the other day, wtf kind of dumbass question is this?
No. If Leo and Franco wouldn't go there, Bradley wouldn't either.
Judging from the size of her bruises in photos lately, he already has.
That depends, is Lindsay Lohan a man, baby?
Would he? Only if he thought no one would find out. So No, not now.
What I was thinking about Enty posing this question is… He heard some tea and he's questioning the likelihood of it, therefore he's turned to the masters of assessing celebrity behaviors.
@Rose L
@ Lady H
Good ones. Lolz!!
No. Michael Lohan can't wipe his own ass let alone perform a hair transplant procedure, so there's nothing in it for BPoop
Only if he had spare coke and a penchant for punching chicks in the ribs while ejaculating in their colons.
Two of enty most hated celebs. That such a random question but yes, he seem to bang anything with a pulse,
Him and half the world done hit that.
I think he already has.
Maybe if she grew a dick.
Thank you fill in the blank equation! I've got a Scrubs question for her.
Probably already has.
Maybe in her prime.
I think I just threw-up a little in my mouth.
Totally, completely, OT: Tara Reid doing AMA today on Reddit at 3:30
They said no freaking way.
This is one for the ages Enty…must consult the seers,mystics,shamans and clairvoyants I have in my inner circle and get back to you……
What an odd question, lol. Who turned in this question, I wonder?
no he would have to have sex with her
It'd harm his penis too.
Well she prob wld do anyone, but he is too narsassistic. It may harm his rep to boldly go where everyone has gone before. Yeah, he'd turn her down and then tweet about it. Ass balloon.
Bisexual doesn't mean desperate. I'm sure even he has certain standards.
I think he would. He seems to want to do anything-man, woman, animal, vegetable, etc.
Wife beater, mother lover, closet homosexual – I'm quite sure he'd add junkie hook up to that list without a second thought. If only so that Enty could write a few more blinds about him.
Deep Thoughts….. By Enty.
Isn't he on the list? At this point a guy has to be pretty desperate to want her and her beat up bruised body and sagging tits and cigarette breath.
I thought he already had.

ndiswrapper doesn't seem to work either...oh well...my wlan card sucks...any ideas at all?
hey there,
just got my bt2final hd install up and running. i like to think i know my way around computers...but since im new to linux i don't really have a clue how to get my wireless card to work with bt. so if someone would take the time to give me some advice i'd really appreciate it i've been trying to work it out on my own for some time now, but i didn't really find anything on google, this forum or elsewhere.
i'm using bt on an acer aspire 5051awxmi with a "Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller", at least that's what's bt says when i use iwconfig...on the label on the back of my notebook it says "Broadcom BCM94318MPG" - dunno if that makes a difference since only bcm43xx chipsets seem to be supported?
anyways, bt seems to recognize my card. it lists it under iwconfig as eth1, lspci lists it as well. and according to lsmod the driver is loaded, too. so now, if i use ifconfig eth1 up it says "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device". but according to linuxwireless.org my chipset should at least be partially supported. my next step would be to try ndsiwrapper, but i'd think it only provides limited support that probably won't be enough to run kismet?
what did i miss?
thanks a lot
edit: i can connect using my ethernet card just fine...just the wlan doesnt work :-/
ndiswrapper doesn't seem to work either...oh well...my wlan card sucks...any ideas at all?
This was needed on the beta, it's been fixed on the final. I should keep better notes.
The bcm4318 does work whit aircrack 0.9, but only whit ábout 10 pps, download the module for aircrack here
IF you are using the live cd
it worked for me today ...... after 6months testing
I have an Acer 5050-5554 with BCM4318 chipset. It works for me, but not so good.
I can connect and use wlan, but the signal is not good, I lost packets and with an AP near (about 2 or 3 mts) the signal is about 50%.
I dont know how can I fix that, but I think this is a new problem of a new chipset. I hope the support get better soon.
At least did you get to connect in AP ?
Broadcom support is sketchy at best, it can sometimes work for one person, but not at all for another.
To be honest with you, ditch the broadcom cards you will be much better off.
When I tried using the 1.0-dev version of Aircrack-ng my broadcom 4311 did not work for some reason. So when I tried the 0.9 version, it worked just fine. Very weird. Hope you get your card working.
If you use ndiswrapper, and it is working pretty good, please tell us. Maybe I can follow your steps and get working better.

August 05, 2013
If you lean against a bright red convertible parked outside a car dealership on a beautiful sunny day, it's easy to imagine yourself driving the car—on the open road, cool wind blowing in your hair, and without a care in the world. But research suggests you might be better off walking away from the dealership before you make a decision you may come to regret.
People are substantially more likely to buy a convertible on an unseasonably warm day, according to a study by Devin G. Pope, Chicago Booth associate professor, and his colleagues. When shopping for cars on a sunny day, people make the mistake of projecting their current tastes onto their future ones, much like we do when grocery shopping on an empty stomach. When you're hungry, you stock up on more cans of soup than you're ever likely to need. Similarly, when you're at a dealership on a sunny day, a convertible looks especially appetizing. The mistake of assuming that the way we feel today is how we'll feel in the future—a mistake psychologists call projection bias—has been studied before, but never with a decision as consequential as purchasing a car, and rarely with such statistical rigor.
Using data from more than 40 million car transactions from 2001 to 2008, Pope and his colleagues—Meghan R. Busse of Northwestern, Jorge Silva-Risso of UC Riverside, and Pope's brother Jaren C. Pope of Brigham Young—tracked the relationship between car purchases and the weather in the specific area in which each purchase occurred. Their weather data included the temperature on a given day, as well as other factors including rainfall and cloud cover. Controlling for the time of year, the researchers determine how convertibles typically sell on a particular day, then look at what happens when the weather is colder or warmer than usual.
A rational consumer should be equally likely to buy a convertible on a sunny day as on a rainy one. But for every 20-degree increase in a day's temperature, dealers sold 8.5 percent more convertibles than average. This was as true in November as it was in May, although the warmest months of the summer proved an exception, as temperatures then were already so high that a day that was 20 degrees warmer than usual made driving a convertible less attractive, rather than more so. A clear sky increased sales by about the same amount as a 16-degree increase in temperature.
The researchers conducted several additional analyses to ensure that the differences they found couldn't be easily explained by another factor. For example, they tested for and ruled out the possibility that consumers simply shift their purchasing behavior from cold days to warm days, and they rule out the possibility that the results are driven by the ability to test drive a convertible on a warm day. They also find the same behavior holds true during chilly weather—people are more likely to buy 4x4 vehicles when the weather is abnormally cold, and particularly after a snowstorm.
But letting the temperature drive car purchases is a mistake. Pope and his colleagues find that convertibles purchased in nice weather, rather than on an average day, were 1.3 percent more likely to be traded in within a year.
The researchers suggest that consumers might benefit from a "cooling-off period" following their purchase, when they would have the opportunity to return the vehicle to the dealer at no additional cost. Even if a consumer doesn't cool off immediately after buying a shiny new convertible, perhaps the weather will.
