Looking for upgrades: The pitching staff • 06.27.11
Two weeks from the all-star break and a little more than a month before the trade deadline, the Yankees are at a point where they can — sort of — figure out what they need to add for a second-half push toward the playoffs. Making this picture a little less clear is the status of their injured players who could provide a significant boost if/when they get healthy.
On the pitching staff, the preseason concern has become a surprising strength, and the preseason strength has become a surprising concern. These are three areas where the Yankees might look to upgrade their pitching staff in the second half.
Starting pitcher
The Yankees rotation has been better than anyone could have expected, and that's despite injuries to Phil Hughes and Bartolo Colon. The Yankees, though, will surely kick the tires on alternatives, if only to add depth and peace of mind.
Trade market: Hit-and-miss.
A starting pitcher will be traded before the deadline, history tells us that much. The question is whether an addition would be an upgrade over the Yankees in-house options. If Hughes and Colon come back and pitch well – and both Freddy Garcia and Ivan Nova continue to pitch well enough – then the need for a starter will be minimal (though the want might still exist). If Hughes or Colon suffers a setback, Garcia or Nova regresses, or A.J. Burnett falls into last year's habits, then the Yankees will need someone. Carlos Zambrano and Brett Myers seem to be available targets, but are they worth the headache? The Twins have been disappointing and could shed starting pitchers at the deadline, but are they more reliable than what the Yankees already have?
In-house: The kids.
Dellin Betances and Manny Banuelos are still in Double-A and both are pitching well (though still working on some control issues). Not so long ago, the Yankees had Hughes and Alan Horne dominating in Double-A as highly regarded prospects, but the Yankees left them there, and there's not much reason to expect the Yankees to change course and suddenly rush Betances or Banuelos without at least a brief stop in Triple-A. More likely options might be Carlos Silva, Hector Noesi or someone from the David Phelps-Adam Warren-D.J. Mitchell trio in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Warren is probably at the top of that pecking order with Phelps is currently on the DL.
Setup reliever
Joba Chamberlain is lost for the year, and Rafael Soriano is almost certainly lost until after the all-star break. Dave Robertson has been terrific in the eighth inning, but the Yankees are mixing-and-matching in the sixth and seventh, still searching for one-inning relievers to complete that bridge to Mariano Rivera.
Trade market: They're all relievers. Last year, the Yankees took a chance on Kerry Wood, and that move completely changed the bullpen. At the time of the trade, though, Wood was coming off injury and had ugly numbers with Cleveland. He came to the Yankees as a complete wild card and became a dominant setup man. The Yankees could go looking for something similar, but relievers are an unreliable group. Based on what Wood was doing at this time last year, he would not have looked like an especially attractive target. There will be risk in anyone the Yankees go after, though some big names seem to be on the market, including Padres closer Heath Bell.
In-house: Untested. The Yankees have had success plugging minor league starters into bullpen roles, and that's occasionally worked as a stepping stone to the big league rotation. Right now, they seem to be trying something similar with Noesi.* They also might have found something in Cory Wade, though his innings have been limited. Andrew Brackman has moved to the Triple-A bullpen, but the results have not been encouraging. The Yankees have looked at Kevin Whelan and they've run through a series of long-relievers, but so far Noesi has been the call-up standout and Luis Ayala has been better than expected. George Kontos still seems to be pitching himself toward a call-up in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Left-handed reliever
The Yankees top two left-handed relievers should be Pedro Feliciano and Damaso Marte, but those two proven veterans have yet to pitch this season because of injuries. In their place, Boone Logan has been erratic, unable to repeat last year's second-half success.
Trade market: Still relievers. The same problem that applies to the setup trade market applies to the lefty trade market: These guys tend to be unpredictable. The Yankees could take their chances on a veteran, with hopes that he doesn't fall into either the Logan Trap of ineffectiveness or the Feliciaino/Marte Trap of arm problems. The Phillies just released J.C. Romero, who actually had solid numbers against lefties this season but passed through waivers without a claim. Logan has struggled all season, and the Yankees haven't traded for a replacement yet, which might say something about the market.
In-house: Minor league veterans. The Yankees have signed some lefties for the Triple-A pitching staff, and those might be legitimate options. Randy Flores has pitched well out of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre bullpen, holding lefties to a .233 average with nine strikeouts, seven hits and one walk. Greg Smith has pitched well out of the rotation, but that's only 14.2 innings and he has almost zero bullpen experience. If he could pitch in relief, Smith could give the Yankees a second lefty who doubles as a long man. It's also worth noting that Whelan has had tremendous success against left-handers, but he's currently on the DL and his first stint in New York was so short, it's hard to imagine the Yankees trusting him with the bizarre role of right-handed lefty specialist.
* In my mind, this is why it makes sense to have Noesi playing a bullpen role while Brian Gordon gets a few spot starts. Noesi's role could be a long-term thing. The Yankees have a very real need in the late innings, and if Noesi adapts to the role, he could be a significant boost the rest of the way. The current rotation opening is a no-doubt-about-it part-time job. Gordon is going to get one or two more starts before Hughes is ready, and obviously they're going to skip him when they can. He had great numbers this year, so the Yankees are riding the hot hand for a while. They're hoping for more than a short-term contribution from Noesi.

"I don't like spiders and snakes…" are the lyrics to the catchy 1970s tune by singer Jim Stafford. Although the song has little to do with wildlife, the sentiment holds true for many whose fear, when they cross paths with a common snake or spider, is real even when the perceived danger isn't.

Xavier Mascareñas NewscityHomeless Services Under Pressure To RelocateWill Albuquerque's homeless population still have access to necessary resources?The city's homeless might soon have to thumb a ride to get the help they need. Mayor Martin Chavez and the Albuquerque Planning Department are pushing to relocate many Downtown services to disperse the concentration of homeless out of the Barelas area. In a recent phone interview, the mayor offered the reason why: Putting many homeless services in the same area is "incredibly destructive to neighborhoods," he said. "You can't get your neighborhood up if someone is urinating or taking drugs in your yard. This gives us an opportunity to rebuild Barelas." Thin LineOCD—It is one of the least known of all government agencies. Some say it doesn't exist at all. It's the Office of Celebrity Distraction (OCD). News BiteBy the NumbersA new report shows that the status of women falls shortModern-day America seems to be under the impression that equality, in terms of equal pay and treatment for women and minorities, is a reality. Indeed, our country has had 43 years to get it right, after the passage of the Civil Rights Act. Yet if you're a woman working in Los Alamos County, you're likely to be paid 57 cents on the dollar of what the man with a comparable job gets paid in the office next to you. For the whole state, the gap is raised, although far from erased: Women in New Mexico are paid 75 cents on the dollar of what men are paid for comparable jobs—$25,700 a year to $34,200, pegging our state at 24th in the nation for the wage gap. This is all according to a new report by the New Mexico Commission on the Status of Women that looks at women's equality on a county-by-county basis.

The citation mentioned several occasions when Hunter ran through heavy fire to retrieve wounded comrades. Proclamations honored seventh-grader Matthew Evans, who made it into the final round of the Scripps National Spelling Bee competition, and Goldie Ann Steadman, who recently died at the age of 96 after a life filled with community activism. Perennial Council junkies relished the final episode (maybe) of the city's very own "Survivor" drama, starring the Del Rey Mobile Home Park residents. The 50 families remaining of the park's original 270 have fought eviction for more than two years as the property's owner tried to sell it. Now, Stillbrooke Homes and Argus Development are negotiating an arrangement to create a first-class, mixed-use neighborhood on the land that will allow current residents to buy their own lots.

Mariners outfielder Ichiro Suzuki was ejected from Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Updated: September 26, 2009, 11:55 PM ET Ichiro draws first career ejection Associated Press TORONTO -- Seattle Mariners outfielder Ichiro Suzuki was ejected from Saturday's 5-4, 10-inning loss to the Toronto Blue Jays for arguing a called third strike in the fifth inning. It's the first ejection of the season for the Mariners and the first of Suzuki's career, including his years in Japan. Suzuki used his bat to draw a line on the outer edge of the plate, indicating that David Purcey's strike three pitch was outside. Home plate umpire Brian Runge immediately ejected Suzuki, who argued briefly before being escorted off the field by manager Don Wakamatsu. Michael Saunders replaced Suzuki in the lineup and played left, with Bill Hall moving to right. Suzuki went 0-3, dropping his average to .353. He's second to Minnesota catcher Joe Mauer in the AL batting race. Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press LINK |

Anybody have any contact info for Verdun Manor/Thrillvania? The contact page of their website doesn't seem to be working. I'm going to be in Dallas this week on business and was interested in maybe meeting up with someone for a peek at the place.
i too am intrested in this info, as Im in the area aswell...
That's spelled "Roswel" not "Aswell", Steve. hahahaha!
(then there's that bee sting/thing " assswell".)
try the whole myspace thing , it has a few good connects
Well this discussion is from last month, but if your still interested- their phone # used to be 214-559-5779. Not sure if it still is the #, but it's worth giving it a try.
Actually, I was able to contact them once I got to town. Greg (I think) took about an hour out of his day and gave us a complete walk thru of all four attractions. The place was amazing.
Along these same lines, I'm in Denver now and will be in Phoenix in three weeks. If there are any haunts willing to give a fellow haunter a sneak peek I sure would appreciate it.
There are a bunch of haunts in Denver. You can visit haunteddenver.com for all of their info. If you happen to be near Colorado Springs at any time, you are welcome to visit us, too.Originally Posted by DeadManWalking

Clippers keep their man, Del Negro, for another season
[caption id="attachment_2411" align="aligncenter" width="560" caption="The Clippers picked up the option for a third year on coach Vinny Del Negros contract on Tuesday. / MICHAEL GOULDING, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER"][/caption]
It turns out there wasn't much uncertainty after all.
With Vinny Del Negro leading the Clippers to their best record in team history and into the second round of the NBA playoffs, Neil Olshey, the Clippers' vice president of basketball operations and general manager, and the other important voices in the Clippers' front office always wanted him back.
"We were all in unison from Day 1 that Vinny as going to come back for his third year," Olshey said.
The Clippers made it official Tuesday, announcing that the organization has picked up the third year of Del Negro's contract. Olshey maintained that the team never was looking in any other directions. The club just wanted to take its time in making the first decision of a very important offseason.
"(Donald) Sterling, (team president) Andy (Roeser) and I kind of knew this was a fait accompli right after the season. It was just a matter of we had other housekeeping things to deal with," Olshey said. "We dealt with those, and now, we're ready to move on to our offseason. Our first order of business was to exercise Vinny's option and make sure our coach and staff was in place as we moved towards the draft and pending free agency."
While Olshey was happy to state that keeping Del Negro on board was early on the team's offseason to-do list, he wouldn't say where his unsettled contract situation fell on the Clippers' priorities.
"I don't have any comment on my situation or anyone's in the front office, right now…" Olshey said. "We have a chronological order of things that need to take place in this organization to assure that we're playing at this time next year. The first one was to make sure we solidified our coaching situations and made sure we had stability there in that regard.
"We took care of that piece of business today, and the rest of that will work itself out as we forwards this summer."
Olshey reportedly spoke to Portland owner Paul Allen about their general manager opening since the Clippers were swept out of the second round by the San Antonio Spurs. True to his word, the conversation centered on Del Negro Tuesday.
"It's a nonstop process with the things I need to get better at – time management during practice, different things to push guys' buttons a little bit, in-game decisions on some things, whether it be offensively or defensively," Del Negro said. "…We're always trying to improve, myself and the whole organization."
Olshey praised Del Negro's ability to keep his team believing this season, even when things looked bleak during the darkest times of the lockout-shortened season.
"Clearly, Vinny had one of the most successful seasons as a coach in Clippers' history. Vinny and I talked, and we're not going to judge ourselves by Clipper history, but we're going to judge ourselves by NBA history," Olshey said. "And I think we're on the right path. Vinny does all the right things, and there's no greater compliment for a coach than to see how hard his players are playing at the end of the year. And that wasn't always the case in this organization."
Del Negro said he hasn't spoken with the team about an extension beyond the 2012-13 season, and that the status of his assistant coaches and training staff still need to be discussed.
Olshey wouldn't explicitly say whether Clippers' stars Blake Griffin and Chris Paul signed off the decision, but he certainly implied it.
"I speak to anyone who could have a valued opinion in any decision that I'm going to make, anything to do with this organization," he said. "Sufficed to say, all the appropriate parties that people are concerned with were all on board with this decision and supported and embraced Vinny's return to coach the team for another year."
The team now shifts its sights towards picking in the NBA Draft, signing Griffin to a long-term extension and becoming active in trade talks and free agency.
"I'm just happy for the opportunity to be back and the opportunity to continue the plan we put in place," Del Negro said. "Now we have to execute that plan as well as possible and have a very productive summer in a lot of areas."

I'm grateful for the opportunity to preach fairly regularly as I travel throughout the church. I will post them periodically, as I do three recent sermons here.
Presbyteries around the country are considering a new translation to the Heidelberg Catechism which was jointly undertaken by the Reformed Church in America, the Christian Reformed Church, and the Presbyterian Church (USA).
I wish when I traveled to Great Rivers that I had had access to an excellent new video completed by Dr. Gary Neal Hansen of the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary. Gary served on the special committee that looked into this translation.
Starting the week with worship, though, is a great way to put first things first. Even when it's snowing. Even when we lose an hour. Even when the kids are fighting and we were out too late and it's a guest preacher. Even when it seems like there's much more business to be done during what seems like an abbreviated weekend.

Since 1840, Punch Cigars have been delighting smokers around the world with their bold flavor and superior quality. Punch originated in Cuba and was marketed specifically for the English market. Today, Punch Cigars are produced in Honduras from Cuban-seed tobaccos grown in Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic. While most of the Punch Cigar lines such as the original Punch and Punch Rare Corojo lean more to the full-bodied end of the spectrum, other lines like Punch Grand Cru and Punch Deluxe are slightly less intense, but still packed with flavor. Punch cigars pack a big taste experienced smokers can truly appreciate!

It packs a Punch |
Punch Pita EMS Toro 5 Pack |
By Grumpy Butt |
This cigar is medium bodied cigar that really smokes like mild, which is what I smoke. The flavor is great with a very smooth draw. This is priced in the everyday mans price range and for that I am grateful. This ranks in my top five favorites. Only RP 1999 Vintage Connecticut and Cuvee Robusto (in the blue label) are higher. |
Power Punch of the Little Bowling Pin. |
Punch Rare Corojo Champion Figurado Cigar |
By Rasputin |
This cigar looks like a bowling pin but with a consistent Strike every time. Powerful for such a size but when you hold it and light it up, that first draw brings to you a mouth full of Leathery goodness, no, Leathery Greatness ! Try the 10th Anniversary too ! They may look small but these cigars are not jabs But powerful Punches. Yummy all the way. |
Creamy |
Punch Rare Corojo Magnum Corojo Robusto |
By Peter |
I am a relative newcomer to cigars. I've been hitting the samplers and have probably smoked about 25 different cigars. The Punch Rare Corojo is the best I've had. The smoke is plentiful and has an amazing thick, creamy texture. The flavor is mainly chocolate. I'm not very good at picking out flavors but I will say this cigar just seems to smell and taste like I imagine a cigar should. I've had some wrapper issues, but the flavor far outweighs that drawback. |
Great Price/Taste even smoking Cigar! |
Punch Deluxe Royal Coronation EMS Corona |
By RP2U |
NO CONS! Nice size, burns evenly, great taste! Inexpensive for a quality cigar. Would highly recommend |

Does anyone flip cases of new release gaming ?
Was wondering if it can be profitable to flip gaming cases (yugioh, pokemon, magic, wow) right when they are released like you would do a sports or non sport product when they are newly released. Anyone tried this or have any experience in it ? I figure there would be a profitable way to do it and I'm sure certain ones are more profitable than others. Any information is appreciated. Can be via PM as well if it is extra top secret.

Two factors would make this difficult:
1. The most powerful cards are not always known until a few months after the release, after people play with them inside the game and learn how they interact with other cards. 2. Especially in Magic, the game is played half the time with sealed packs in draft format. Tournaments determine the value of the rares, and sealed packs are valuable for testing and practice.

Return to Ravnica (the most recent MTG expansion) had a return of 150%+ ... which is out of the norm... some large dealers were bringing very close to 200% returns. Of course this is all within the first few weeks of release then aggregate prices go down somewhat.
With MTG, sets are hit or miss and many times box/cases jump in price as soon as it's realized the set is "loaded." But the game is very strong right now and lately there have been some great sets. However looks like mostly thanks to Return to Ravnica, presell box/case prices are inflated somewhat so becareful. If you have a brick and mortar store and fill out the paperwork, you can get "dealer" prices which is the best way to maximize profits and cushion yourself from inflated presell sealed product prices.

I looked into this and ran into some issues with getting allocations on MTG (distributor level).
The real problem with gaming cards, is that unless you play the game or you are current with tournament rules and what not - it's real hard to know what your doing. A card can be good one day, then be banned in tournament play and not be good the next day. It's no where near as clear cut as sports and non-sport cards.

Negotiations Continue Over SD Sales Tax Increase
Thursday, July 29, 2010
SAN DIEGO Negotiations are continuing at San Diego City Hall over how to get a half-cent sales tax increase on the November ballot. Special City Council meetings are scheduled for Friday and Monday.
The council will hold the meetings to consider a compromise measure spearheaded by Councilwoman Donna Frye.
Frye previously voted against putting a sales tax increase on the ballot because it wasn't linked with reforms. She has since come up with a list of financial reforms that would be included in the sales tax measure. San Diego would have to make the changes by November 2012 or the sales tax would be repealed.
Frye said she had several reasons for proposing the reforms.
"Probably the most important is to get the business and labor community and come to a more moderate solution rather than having the very far, more strident voices continue to drive this discussion," she said.
Frye said she's also in talks with the mayor's office about her proposal.
If approved, a half-cent sales tax would generate over $100 million a year for San Diego. The city is facing multi-million-dollar deficits in the coming years.

Donna Fry is an idiot!!!! She wants to sell it to the citizens that the public safety workers of San Diego should take pay cuts, pension cuts and benefit cuts, in order to get this half cents sales tax through. These folks will be paying the tax along with all other citizens! The mayor and city council NEED the fire/police to get this tax voted in! At leu of taking pay cuts.....keep your brownouts and citizens at risk. It's not the fault of public safety workers that the citizens of San Diego don't EVER want to pay for core services. They get what they pay for. Public safety is demonized in this city!!! WHY? look at all the cities around us, they ALL pay their employees better and have better benefits. Who would want to work for this screwed up town?
Dandy | July 29, 2010 at 2:23 p.m. ― 6 years, 8 months ago
Why is public safety demonized? Look a the fat pension deals for the firefighters and police officers that have been coerced from the city with back room sweetheart deals under fear of service cuts in city services. It is obvious that we cannot afford to pay people 98% of their final pay as retirement. That is not a sustainable economic model, never has been and never will be. Illegal, immoral, and self-serving "public servants" who feel that they are "entitled" to bankrupt our city and that they are somehow "owed" this egregious amount of money is a nauseating proposition foisted on us by threats of brownouts and cuts in service. If this fine city were to do what a business would do to preserve itself and bust the union, fire the whole lot of them and rehire at half the cost the hundreds of highly qualified and employable people who would love to do the job for half the price we wouldn't have brown outs and citizens put at risk by the rape of our coffers by these bandits.
citizenj | July 29, 2010 at 2:33 p.m. ― 6 years, 8 months ago
Get your facts straight!!!! Your making up lies to make your point sound better. It's 90% of their one highest year not including overtime. They CAN'T threaten brownouts!!! They can't even strike if they wanted, and they don't. You live in a fantasy world where you make up your own crazy ideas. San Diego public servants are paid lower and have worse benefits than any other public servants around this area. I'm sure if it was up to the likes of you the fire and police departments would just be volunteer. Why not? Pine Valley gets away with it. What's the difference between Pine Valley and San Diego City, really?

Prejudiced? Not Me!
Today's Scripture
"Be honest in your judgment and do not decide at a glance (superficially and by appearance); but judge fairly and righteously." John 7:24 AMP
Thoughts for Today
Are you a prejudiced person? You are most likely thinking, "Not me!" But is that really true?
Prejudice is the act of prejudging someone on the basis of something other than fact. Most people, when hearing the word prejudice think of racism, but this is just one of the many kinds of prejudice.
When we meet someone for the first time, we tend to "pigeonhole" them in some way. We may judge them by the way they are dressed … by their vocabulary … or by a tattoo or multiple earrings or hairstyle.
Prejudice involves prejudging someone before we know the facts. Sooo … if we decide that they are irresponsible because other family members have proved to be that way … that they are not trustworthy because they are Muslim … that they are a notch beneath us because of the way they are dressed … or maybe unapproachable because of their standing in society—are we not demonstrating prejudice?
Consider this…
Jesus looked beyond all these outward characteristics and guilt by association—he looked at the heart. If we want to demonstrate his love toward others, we need to do the same. To care about each individual enough to get acquainted, to understand them, and to love them unconditionally.
Father, I haven't considered myself to be a prejudiced person, but as I think about it, I realize that I do sometimes prejudge people. Help me to do as Jesus did—to look beyond the superficial appearances and see the heart. In Jesus' name …
These thoughts were drawn from…

Living in a Tipi
Brett Butler grew up with Paul Goble's paintings of tipis in his bedroom, which Brett's mother believes may have subliminally encouraged him to live in one. Besides living in a 256 square foot tipi, Brett lessens his impact in just about every way – he rides a motorcycle instead of driving a car, eats organic and local as much as possible, uses a composting toilet, recycles, dumpster dives, and even scrapes up fresh road-kill (yes, road-kill) at times for food. He also runs an educational company called Field Trips Delivered, which brings environmental field trips to educators, students, and camp directors versus having them plan and embark on an expensive trip themselves.
Why did you decide to live in an alternative home?
After attending college for a few years [at Appalachian State in North Carolina], I was sharing a house and paying way too much for rent and really having an unhappy time working a lot to pay bills and all that jazz. I had lived in a tent for a month between living in the dorms and moving into that house, so I decided that I would take the plunge, and move back to the woods and live outside and see how it went.
I bought the cover and liner and had a friend of a friend cut some poles for me, and one day a friend and myself cleared a place to set the tipi up on a farm where I was working, and with permission from the farm owner, I set up and moved out of the house and into the tipi. I haven't looked back since then.
Why/how did you choose a tipi? How did you build it?
A tipi is an extremely simple structure. Canvas and wood, and a few pieces of rope, and you've got yourself a home. And not just a little home; it's big and spacious and warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and comfortable pretty much all year round.
The cover of the tipi is made from a special canvas called Sunforger, which is used to make sailboat sails since it is mold and mildew RESISTANT, and UV light-degredation resistant. I say resistant in bold because it is starting to mildew on the outside and looks a bit rough, but it looks lived-in. [Appropriate,] since "tipi" is actually two Lakota Sioux words, ti pi, meaning "place lived in."
The actual set up process is quick once you've got the hang of it, and I can set up a tipi in about 6 minutes now, and have it staked down in another 5.
What's the hardest part about living in a tipi?
Everything is just DIFFERENT. I don't flick a light switch to turn my lights on, I strike a match and light my beeswax candles and oil lamps. I don't turn the thermostat up or down, I put more wood in the woodstove to heat my place up, or roll up the sides to get a little breeze flowing to cool it down in the summer.
To get water, I fill up 5-gallon water jugs either at a spring or from the faucet at my host's home and use a small hand pump to get it from the jug to pots, pans, water bottles or my teakettle. I guess I would say the thing I miss the most is running water.
Life in a Geodesic Dome
Jake Weller is a student at Juniata College in central Pennsylvania who decided to live in a geodesic dome for the 2009-2010 school year when he figured that he could live in his own structure more cheaply than the other options.
What is a geodesic dome and how did you choose to live in one of these versus another type of alternative home?
A geodesic dome (GD) is a geometrical structure based on a mathematical formula developed by R. Buckminster Fuller. It is a relationship between the side lengths and angles of struts which follow a set pattern.
It is one of the strongest and most efficient structures possible, in terms of materials. And the only one (that I know of) where the strength of the structure increases with size.
I chose a GD for several reasons, including: structural strength, the possibility of using recycled and recyclable materials, aesthetic preference, portability, and ease of fabrication.
What is the hardest/worst part about living in the geodesic dome? The best part?
The most difficult part was deciding on a cover design, especially considering that the structure had to be portable.
The best part has been the experience of actually doing it, and seeing how feasible such a project would be. I have really enjoyed it so far.

Do you want to make Ohio.com your homepage?
XJust found out from a friend who's on one of the Glenmoor Gathering committees that this year's show field will be loaded with more great cars you never see in northeast Ohio. He said there will be at least eight Duesenbergs (they aren't German; they're American) plus a group of cars designed by an Italian auto designer named Bizzarrini, who also worked at Ferrari. There will be another great group of motorcycles this year called Italian Super Bikes, which will include bikes by MV Agusta, Ducati, Laverda and Benelli. The feature is Historic Motorcars of Cleveland and, believe me, I had no idea how many cars were built in Cleveland. The rarest one is an all-original 1932 Peerless 16-cylinder sedan that is one-of-a-kind. I added photos of two of the cars I know will be therea 1929 Duesenberg phaeton and a 1968 Bizzarrini Spyder S. I. Targa . Show date is Sunday, Sept. 19 but there is other stuff happening on Friday and Saturday. www.glenmoorgathering.com

Sixty-eight years before Mount St. Helens blew, Alaska's Mount Katmai erupted—and nearly brought on a second ice age
October/november 1980 | Volume 31, Issue 6
Closer to the site of the eruption but partially protected from its effect by a range of mountains were a small group of native fishermen at a summer camp 30 miles from Mount Katmai. On June 9 one of them wrote a despairing letter to his wife. "A mountain has burst near here, so that we are covered with ashes, in some places 10 feet and 6 feet deep. All this began on the 6th of June. Night and day we light lamps. We cannot see the daylight. In a word it is terrible, and we are expecting death at any moment, and we have no water. All the rivers are covered with ashes. Just ashes mixed with water. Here are darkness and hell, thunder and noise. I do not know whether it is day or night.… The earth is trembling; it lightens every minute. It is terrible. We are praying."
Although the explosions were heard as far south as Ketchikan, 900 miles away, the outside world was slow to realize the magnitude of the eruption. It was not until the lives and property of the people in the city of Kodiak, 100 miles to the west of Mount Katmai, were threatened that authorities began to understand that a volcanic eruption without precedent in North America was in progress.
A range of mountains to the east obstructed the view of the mainland and blocked all signs of the explosions, and so the five hundred inhabitants of Kodiak had no warning of what to expect. The island had been rocked by severe earthquakes, but jolts of that kind were common in the area and no notice was taken of them. June 6 dawned fair and clear with a strong breeze from the northeast. About 5:00 P.M. a peculiar dark cloud appeared on the horizon and began to move toward the town, a cloud unlike any the townspeople had ever seen before, shapeless, grit textured, and expanding. A few moments later the first ashes fell, large gray flakes like dirty snow. At first the people treated them as a great curiosity, carefully collecting samples as souvenirs.
But the ash fall increased with frightening rapidity and by 6:00 P.M. it was so thick that people had trouble discerning the shapes of buildings more than a dozen yards away. By 6:30 the last vestiges of daylight disappeared and total darkness settled over the countryside—this at a season of nearly twenty-four-hour daylight. The air grew thick and almost impossible to breathe. Thunder and lightning rumbled and flashed.
The rain of ashes continued throughout the night, and by early morning 5 inches had accumulated. At 9:10 A.M. the ashes ceased falling, and the townspeople believed their ordeal was over. They had no idea what had happened. The wireless station had burned down after being struck by lightning, and the static in the air rendered useless the wireless on board the U.S. revenue cutter Manning, which had docked to take on coal at the time of the eruption.
At noon on June 7 the ashes began to fall once more, and by midafternoon the cloud of dust was so thick that it became impossible to see a lantern held at arm's length. Sulfurous fumes filled the air, and the rumble of avalanches of ashes down distant mountain slopes could be heard. The confidence that had carried the townspeople through the first stage of their ordeal now broke. Many spoke of the destruction of Pompeii. Some panicked. Others, lost in the darkness, gave up and lay down in the ashes.
Hildred Erskine, one of the town's schoolteachers, said: "The ash was falling so heavily that our greatest anxiety was whether we should be able to get another breath. The gases were nauseating and to add to our terror, earthquake shock became almost continuous. The terrible bombardment grew louder and louder; and the ash sifted through cracks around the windows and doors. … We were sure our time had come."
The next morning the town's doctor brought Hildred and her cousin to the Manning . "We tied dampened cheese-cloth over our faces, but the ash penetrated several thicknesses of the material. We followed fences and ditches and somehow reached our destination. The officers of the Manning turned on the searchlight, but the ash was so dense that even its powerful light gave no aid."
Conditions worsened, and it was decided to evacuate the island. Many crowded on board the Manning ; others had to go aboard the barge St. James , which was towed by the tug Printer. In midmorning on the eighth of June the Manning , followed by the Printer , pulled away from the dock and headed out the narrow channel toward the open sea, leaving behind a broken settlement of crushed roofs, ash-flooded houses, and massive drifts of dust.
On board the Manning Hildred Erskine noticed that "the men who had shoveled ash from the decks were worn out and their eyes were in a pitiful condition; the ash had penetrated the bandages they wore over their eyes and had painfully cut their eyeballs. A little native woman, ill with tuberculosis … somehow found her way to the ship, but died very shortly. …"

"That's the way it's going to have to be in this series," first baseman Aubrey Huff said of the Giants' waste-not, want-not offense. "The pitching's so dominant."
Cain, who recorded a team-high 25 quality starts this season, helped continue that trend.
The 26-year-old right-hander led the Giants to their second home postseason shutout, matching Tim Lincecum's two-hit, 14-strikeout effort in Game 1 of the Division Series against Atlanta. The Giants hadn't accomplished this since the 1917 World Series,when they blanked the Chicago White Sox in Games 3 and 4. Cain also extended the Giants' streak of postseason quality starts to 7-for-7. He stranded seven baserunners, including four in scoring position. Cain kept pouring low fastballs and changeups past the Phillies, who have gone 2-for-27 with runners in scoring position since the eighth inning of Game 2 of the Division Series. "Really, the main goal today was to try to keep the ball closer to the knees and stay at the bottom of the strike zone," said Cain, who had never defeated Philadelphia in five career regular-season starts. Combined with his Division Series outing against Atlanta, Cain has allowed nine hits and one unearned run in 13 2/3 innings this postseason. "I pretty much feel like we're going to be in for something good every time he's out there," catcher Buster Posey said. Initially, the same could have been said of Hamels. He opened the game with three perfect innings before Renteria's hit opened the Giants' fourth. Renteria moved to second base on Freddy Sanchez's sacrifice bunt and appeared destined to languish there after Posey struck out. But Pat Burrell coaxed a walk to prolong the inning for Ross. Once again, Ross prevailed. Having homered three times in the series' first two games, he reached for a 2-1 fastball that couldn't have been more than eight inches above the ground and lashed it into left field, scoring Renteria. Burrell went to third on the play and scored on Huff's single, a grounder that second baseman Chase Utley dove for but only deflected. Hamels marveled at Ross' bat control."I don't know too many guys who can lift that up over a third baseman," Hamels said. "Most guys normally hit it into the ground."
Ross has five go-ahead RBIs this postseason, becoming the first player to reach that total since Houston's Morgan Ensberg and Jermaine Dye of the White Sox did so in 2005. "For the most part, it's about confidence, going up there and knowing you're going to get the job done or do something to help your team," Ross said. Renteria, who appeared in only 72 regular-season games, endured three trips to the disabled list and is contemplating retirement, avoided dwelling on himself."It's hard. It's hard," he said, referring to the adversity he has weathered this year. "But it's not time to think about that. It's time to think about how we can win ballgames."
Rowand echoed that sentiment when asked about coping with losing his starting role to Andres Torres."It's a lot easier when we're winning," said Rowand, who started partly to replace the slumping Torres and to give San Francisco a right-handed presence against the left-handed Hamels.
Rowand hit a career-low .230 this year, but looked sharp while drilling Hamels' first pitch into the left-field corner leading off the fifth."I was looking for a cutter, and he threw it," Rowand said.
With two outs, Sanchez hit a 1-2 pitch to Utley, who was torn over whether to charge the low, looping liner or play it on a bounce. He chose the latter approach. The ball short-hopped him and caromed toward second base as Rowand, who was running freely with two outs, scored easily. The play was changed to a hit after originally being ruled an error. Either way, it gave the Giants another run. After Cain departed, having thrown 119 pitches, the Giants showed off their airtight relief pitching. Javier Lopez worked a scoreless eighth before Brian Wilson completed his fourth postseason save by inducing Raul Ibanez's double-play grounder. Wilson's handiwork ensured that the Giants would bring the series back to Philadelphia, at the very worst. It also silenced the many skeptics who believed that the Phillies would easily vanquish the Giants. "You have to take the team that has more wins in postseason," Wilson said, accepting Philadelphia's status as the series favorite. "But you can't count the Giants out because we keep winning and winning and pulling things off. I like our chances."

Have you talked to your pediatrician about this?!?! Babies this young should not be drinking anything except formula or breastmilk. Babies this young are at high risk for water intoxication that can cause brain damage. Do not give her water or sugar water without discussing it with your doctor first!
Marianna - posted on 06/23/2010
My midwife (I'm living in New Zealand) also advised me to give my baby half a teaspoon of brown sugar dissolved in 30 ml of warm water as he went on for days without taking a poo when we switched from breastmilk to formula. My midwife also added that I should only do this a couple of times, when he is really constipated and looks uncomfortable while pooing. Giving this concoction regularly to the baby makes his bowels lazy. If your baby poos rarely but has soft poo (toothpaste consistency or softer) you don't need to be concerned. Babies poo irregularly and some of them can go without it for a week.

My daughter is fully b/f & poos only once a week. My son was the same & once went 12 days without any signs of discomfort. When i told my gp about this he said to give him 1oz of fresh oj once a week.....it seemed to work, he started going every 3 days.

hey guys my doctor assures me the brown sugar and water is fine believe me i did ask!!! ive also been told i can use just water by my doctor and ive checked with other mums and theyve done the same so ill be sticking to the brown sugar and water!
Jordan - posted on 06/23/2010
I agree, to much water is not good. It last nutrients. If you are breastfeeding you need to breastfeed more, your baby might not be getting enough hydration since your milk is mostly water. If you use any amount of formula, your baby could be reacting to that. I used half pear juice half water with the formula mix and she wents to the bathroom every other day. Although the docotor would have rather me give her just the water, h owever it was not working with her constipation.
Gayla - posted on 06/04/2016
I've done the same with my child. Recommended by the dr. They actually gave me ready made bottles of sugar water. No problem
Charl7773 - posted on 07/16/2014
Your baby cannot get brain damage from cool boiled water with sugar in it. This is a common use if your baby is constipated in our country.And I started giving her cool boiled water since 2 weeks old. It is good for them and helps with digestion. And if you are using S26 all my friends who gave their babies this got really constipated. We here in Namibia use NAN if we cannot breastfeed. They say if you are breastfeeding your baby should not normally get constipated.
Tarek - posted on 04/25/2014
How about using diluted formula? Rather giving water straight away, would it be preferable to add few more ml of boiled cool water (for example, using 75ml water for a scoop of s-26 rather than 60ml water).
Rachel - posted on 06/21/2010
my daughter has the same problem, the doctor told me to give her a half an ounce of water every after feeding...

So, I just recently purchased a pair of denons ah-d2000 from ebay, but unless i equalize the treble REALLY low, it hurts my ears A LOT when they sing anything with ''s'' in it.
I was thinking it might be my cheap amplifier, i'm using a Fiio E3 that i got for my old sennheiser.
My budget is at 200 bucks, I got a xonar ds soundcard (with the lm4562na opamp if that makes any difference on the sibilance.) so i don't think a DAC is necessary upgrade at this time, and i will only be using it for my PC anyway.
Any suggestions would be appreciated =)

I went on saturday and Cypress and Immortal Techniques to me were the best acts. The two things that pissed me off was the fact Giza wasnt with Wu Tang and they tried to play it off as if he was there, which he wasnt. And also the fact that Public Enemy alows Flava Flav to go on stage with them... he acted as if everyone was there to see him. Despite these two things it was an epic show.
Jul 30, 2007
This was not the best venue for rap and hip hop artists but most of the acts were great, despite the heat. Rage took the show as expected. They simply rocked the island. I loved it.

I went to the show on Sunday and stood in the rain for most of the day. The show was great despite being cold , wet and muddy!! My favs were Cypress (who rocked it out in the rain and brought back a lot of memorys) and Rage( who sounded like they been touring this whole time). I agree that Flava Flav brought a lull to Public Enemy's act by drawing out there introductions and going on about his VH1 shows! Who cares!!! Flav I liked you better before you did those shows! All in all it was the best show Ive seen in a long time.

We will definitely have to trade up. Indy and Washington are 100% taking QB's and we should be weary that Cleveland may take one. Im also starting to think Jags could take on too. The top 10 are cluttered with teams that could go QB. We need to lose out!

Cobalt risks 'did not stand out,' NHTSA chief tells lawmakers
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration twice decided not to investigate crashes involving Chevrolet Cobalts and Saturn Ions because its staff calculated that the rate of injuries was not significantly higher than for other cars, the agency's acting chief told members of Congress Tuesday.
During a hearing of the House Energy and Commerce Committee's oversight panel, David Friedman said the regulatory agency decides when to open investigations in part by comparing the number of crashes in which occupants were hurt with how many of the affected vehicles are on the road, and how old they are.
"When the team did that comparison, the Cobalt did not stand out," Friedman said. "It was a little bit above average, but other vehicles were higher."
Friedman said NHTSA was missing three key pieces of information -- which he said General Motors provided when it initiated the recall in February -- that prevented the agency from identifying a defect in the cars' ignition switches sooner:
The fact that GM changed the design of the ignition switch in 2006.
Conversations that GM had with suppliers about algorithms related to airbag deployment.
A direct link between the cars' ignition switches and the ability of their airbags to deploy.
He said the lack of that information contributed to decisions in 2007 and 2010 not to go forward with internal agency proposals to investigate airbag issues in the Cobalt and Ion. About half of proposals to open investigations are approved, and the other half result in no further action, Friedman said.
"If we had any of those pieces of information I truly believe it would have changed how we handled this," he said.
Friedman said the circumstances of the crashes GM has now linked to the defect are "complicated." Many of them involved unbelted drivers and passengers, several of the drivers were legally drunk, and the crashes mostly happened after cars drove off the road into terrain where Friedman said it can be difficult to determine whether the airbags should have deployed.
"I wish these crashes were as simple as they appear to be," Friedman said. "I wish the connection was as direct as we now know it is."
Friedman said he didn't know how much information NHTSA had asked GM for related to the crashes. He said NHTSA may explore having more detailed conversations with automakers before a formal investigation is opened.
He also said NHTSA staffers, based on the agency's past experience and information available from GM at the time, operated with the understanding that an ignition switch turning off wouldn't prevent airbag deployment.
Many of the committee members appeared less than satisfied with the explanation of why NHTSA didn't probe injury and crash reports further.
"It appears we have a flaw in NHTSA's decision-making process," said Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., noting that NHTSA is "short-staffed and underfunded."
Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Texas, said crash investigations commissioned by NHTSA in 2005 and 2009 showing that the airbags failed to deploy should have raised more concern at the agency. He pointed to a 2012 investigation of some Hyundai models, which led to the recall of 190,000 vehicles last year, stemming from just one complaint.
Friedman responded that it's easier for NHTSA to take action in cases where a defect is more obvious than it was in the GM cars.
"All it takes is one," he said, "if that's clear."

There's a question I find myself forced to answer more of late than ever before. It's about books, and why I cram my living space with so many. Why do I buy books? The answer seems clear: because I like to read. But again they say, why? Usually, I mumble something about using books for research, or reading to cure boredom—not purely a lie. Because, really, I don't know why I read. I just do. It's the way it's always been. Eat, go to school, hug mum, read: life's essentials.
Perhaps, I figure, I read to be informed. Although the first book I ever memorized was a book of Christmas Carols that's never really helped me in later life, and no amount of explanation would suffice for Jeffrey Goddin's Blood of the Wolf being on my nightstand for educational purposes. I read Erica Jong to be educated, Woody Allen to be entertained, Norman Mailer to be enlightened. Be it Hamlet, The Stand, Night of the Iguana, a pocket-sized Kama Sutra nicked from beneath the parents' bed, a Neil Young biography—whatever was there had a purpose. It existed to inform, in some way. Intimately, casually, jokingly, junkily beautifully.
I got this question the other day at work: Doesn't reading the book first ruin the movie? That was a question I couldn't answer. I tried my best to fashion an answer in my head before simply sputtering and splurting and looking decidedly unread. The question was in relation to Children of Men, a fascinating film, but an exquisite novel.
'Cause why would we read when we have the movies, the Internet, everything else fighting to grab our attention? Well, because although the readers' life has altered, it's yet to completely change. We've got the eBook option, but we've never had to re-buy our collections or risk never being able to read them again. We don't have to worry about HDs and Blu-Rays and MP3 or AVI compatibility, but we continue to have more choice than ever before. Logging onto eBooks, eBay, or Amazon gives us access to brand new novels from Asia, Argentina, or the Ukraine simply by keying in a credit card number.
We can read interviews with authors, peruse a writer's back catalogue, or check out pictures of Margaret Mitchell's frocks. We can communicate with authors, join their websites, buy their CafePress mugs. We can check out an author's favorite books. We can even download the music an author composed their bestseller to as if it were a Broadway soundtrack. And here's a little secret—with Amazon's excellent Search Inside tool, wide reading for a post-grad degree has never been easier. Book technology might ruffle some feathers, but most eager readers have to admit it's a better world for the bibliophile.
Re:Print aims to step into that world, to dissect and discuss a large range of book-related topics. Will reading the book ruin the movie? If it does, our diverse, dutiful contributors will let you know. Re:Print is our place (and yours) to discuss everything books, from what's on the bestseller list, to who's making writerly waves across the globe. We'll be chatting with authors and exploring new technologies. We'll be looking at forgotten books that deserve fresh eyes, book art, industry gossip, and provide short reviews of genre fiction from large and small publishers. Re:Print will incorporate PopMatters' Bookmarks, featuring short reviews of new and noteworthy titles. The Reading Room will appear here, too, providing excerpts of upcoming books.
So, why do we read? Jesse Lee Bennett might have the best answer: "Books are the compasses and telescopes and sextants and charts which other men have prepared to help us navigate the dangerous seas of human life." So, let's go…
