NEW YORK — Once Juan Lagares saved the game with his glove, he gladly let Mike Baxter win it with his bat.
NEW YORK — Once Juan Lagares saved the game with his glove, he gladly let Mike Baxter win it with his bat.
Lagares robbed Andrew McCutchen of a go-ahead hit with a leaping catch at the wall in the top of the ninth inning, then Baxter's pinch-hit single in the bottom half sent the Mets over the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2 Thursday night.
"At home plate, I didn't do very well with the bat," Lagares said. "I tried to forget it and play defense."
Baxter delivered his second winning pinch-hit in three days. His 10th-inning single Tuesday beat the Chicago White Sox.
This time, Baxter batted for Lagares and won it.
"Very enjoyable. Good feeling," Baxter said.
Lagares was equally responsible for the victory. Before the game, Mets manager Terry Collins said the rookie center fielder might win a game with his defense — he was right, maybe sooner than he expected.
Called up from Triple-A on April 23 because of his bat and mitt, Lagares preserved the ninth-inning tie with his gem.
With a runner on first and two outs, McCutchen hit a loud shot into faraway right-center field. Lagares glided back, perfectly timed his leap and plucked the ball at the top of the fence as he rammed into the padded wall. It was a fantastic play, yet he seemed so under control he made it look almost routine.
"I got a good jump," he said. "I saw it all the way into the glove."
Asked if he thought the ball would've cleared the wall, Lagares said it was close. Either way, it would've at least been a tiebreaking extra-base hit.
"That was huge," Baxter said. "Lagares saves the game."
McCutchen wasn't so surprised.
"I thought he was going to catch it at the wall. I didn't think I got enough of it to get it out," he said.
Marlon Byrd singled to start the Mets' ninth off Jason Grilli (0-1). Andrew Brown sacrificed and Baxter followed by grounding a single up the middle, easily scoring Byrd.
It's been quite a week for Baxter, who grew up in the shadow of Shea Stadium — just a few minutes from where Citi Field now stands.
Baxter is now 5 for 9 as a pinch-hitter this season. Not bad for someone who, before this week, might've been known solely for making a sensational catch to preserve Johan Santana's no-hitter last year.
Bobby Parnell (4-0) pitched the ninth. The Pirates have lost four of five.
Pedro Alvarez hit a solo home run with one out in the eighth off Mets reliever LaTroy Hawkins that made it 2-all. Alvarez began the day batting .168 and in a 1-for-16 rut before a single, sacrifice fly and long drive for his sixth homer.
Slumping Ike Davis put the Mets ahead 2-1 in the seventh after entering in the top half during a double switch. He took a terrible swing at a first-pitch slider, then hit the next pitch for an RBI double just beyond the reach of a sliding McCutchen deep in the right-center field alley.
Pittsburgh starter Jeff Locke left for a pinch-hitter in the seventh. He gave up three hits, all of them singles in the second inning.
The Pirates tied it at 1 in the sixth. They loaded the bases with no outs when McCutchen and Garrett Jones singled and Russell Martin was hit by a pitch, finishing starter Dillon Gee.
Reliever Brandon Lyon avoided major trouble, yielding only a sacrifice fly by Alvarez that made it 1-all.
The Mets scored in the second on singles by John Buck and Justin Turner and a sacrifice fly by Byrd. The run ended a streak of 15 scoreless innings on the road for Locke, a span that included outings at Dodger Stadium, Philadelphia and St. Louis.

Cookbook Author Katie Workman and Sam's Club Introduce Vitamin-Packed Meal Solutions
Simple Solutions for Adding Fish and Vegetables to the Family Table
Jan 21, 2013, 10:00 ET
BENTONVILLE, Ark., Jan. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Many Americans are resolving to try healthier foods during this annual 'resolution season,' but following through can be tough. In fact, of the 45 percent of U.S. consumers who report setting a goal for the year ahead, only eight percent will be successful in achieving it.[1] To help families highlight health and great flavor in the weekly meal menu, Sam's Club enlisted Katie Workman, mom and author of The Mom 100 Cookbook, to join the Sam's Club Simply Delicious Chef Brigade. Recommending simple, vitamin-enriched food swaps and flavorful accents sourced from Sam's Club, Workman makes healthy eating a tasty treat.
Even the pickiest of palates will embrace the fresh quality ingredients in Workman's three recipes exclusive to SamsClub.com/meals. Mix Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Mustard Vinaigrette to turn the often-snubbed green into a sought-after side. Workman's Citrus Marinated Salmon with Tangy Sauce and Sweet Potato Pie recipes are comforting, flavorful and deceptively nutritious. Members can find Workman's easy-to-follow instructions on the SamsClub.com/meals "Tips & Videos" tab or view photos and printable recipes on the "Easy Recipes" tab.
"As a mom, I'm familiar with the wrinkled noses and protests that come with serving traditionally healthy recipes," said Katie Workman. "Fish and vegetables aren't always at the top of everyone's list but with a few extra flavors you can turn these staples from 'yuck' to 'yes, please.' The key is to start with fresh, quality ingredients as the base of your meal and to be open-minded about how flavors can work together to create something delicious."
"The start of a new year brings renewed consideration for healthy eating habits and healthy spending habits," says Shawn Baldwin, senior vice president of fresh food for Sam's Club. "Sam's Club provides members with premium quality along with great savings in the grocery aisles, from staples like Daily Chef Extra Virgin Olive Oil to sustainable salmon and fresh, great-tasting produce. With the promise of a 200 percent fresh department guarantee[2], Sam's Club shoppers can realize both resolutions all year long."
Simply Delicious and Nutritious: Katie Workman's Sweet Potato Pie (RECIPE)
Taste buds are in for a surprise with this sweet but vitamin-rich dessert or breakfast treat. Sweet potatoes are a nutritional powerhouse, packed with vitamins A, C and E. Ground cinnamon enhances the sweetness in this delectable dessert while also providing a dose of fiber and calcium. All ingredients listed are sourced from Sam's Club (while supplies last).
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Serves: 8 to 10
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 refrigerated pie crust for a 9-inch pie
- 3 large eggs
- Grated zest of 1 orange
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup light cream
- Sweetened whipped cream made with Daily Chef™ Whipping Cream to serve, if desired
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prick the sweet potatoes in several places with a fork, and bake the sweet potatoes for 1 hour until soft. Leave the oven on. Remove and slightly cool the potatoes, then peel and puree in a food processor (or pass them through a ricer) and place in a small bowl. You should have about 1 ¼ to 1 ½ cups puree.
- Unroll the prepared pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Attractively crimp the edges of the crust with fingers or a fork.
- For the filling: in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and orange zest. Whisk in the pureed sweet potatoes, and then add sugar, cinnamon and salt and whisk into the sweet potato mixture until blended. Slowly whisk in cream until well combined. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake the pie for about 1 hour, until the filling is set. You can test this by inserting a sharp knife near the center; when it comes out clean, the pie is done. Cool completely on a wire rack. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days. Serve sliced with whipped cream, if desired.
In addition to recipe essentials, Members can pick up pantry staples such as spices and Daily Chef Extra Virgin Olive Oil which is bottled right after olives are harvested to guarantee maximum freshness.

Quick Tip: How to Quickly Trim a Big Pile of Beans
Let's face it: trimming green beans is a chore. Laboriously snipping the tops and tails off of each bean with a paring knife definitely gets old after a while. Particularly when you've still got most of the pile left to go. Here's what we do to make the job go by a little more quickly.
You can use a chef's knife or a paring knife for this, whichever you feel more comfortable using. Start with just a few beans at once, and then you can work your way up to more as you feel comfortable.
1. Line Up the Beans - Use the edge of your knife or the side of your hand to line up a handful of beans on one side. (I'm right handed, so I line them up on the right.)
2. Trim Off the Tips - In one slice, cut off all the tips at once.
3. Repeat with the Other Side - Flip the beans around, line up the tips again, and trim off the other side.
Once you get into the rhythm of lining up the ends and trimming them off, prepping the beans goes by so much more quickly than doing each individual bean. You can also trim the other end without flipping (like in the last picture above), but the knife gets a little close to our fingers and we have a harder time holding the beans steady.
Do you have another method for trimming green beans?

Allegedly, Women Don't Like Men With Beards
According to a new study, growing a beard might give a fellow an advantage in the boardroom, but it could very well hurt his prospects in the bedroom.
Researchers from the University of Lethbridge in Canada showed photos of men with full beards — and then those same men clean shaven — to 200 women in New Zealand and Samoa. Women from both cultures rated the beardless photos "significantly" more attractive. If we can't trust the women of New Zealand and Somoa to give an honest opinion, who the heck can we trust?!?
On the bright side, for the bearded, they are viewed by both men and women as being of higher social status than those without the face fluff. The study also found men, in particular, are impressed and somewhat intimidated by those who can grow full beards.
This suggests the evolutionary purpose of a beard is to fend off other man and not attract women. However, there is still a way you can use your facial hair to your advantage, when it comes to the fairer sex. Previous research suggests men with light stubble are rated most attractive to women. So, in another four or five years when you can grown facial hair, you've got it made.
Oh that's a beard? We thought you slept face-first in coffee grounds.

Team Ratings
B. Jones
Made a save from Ryan Bennett early on, and he hardly touched the ball at all for the rest of the game. Received a few back-passes, but that was probably only because his team-mates felt sorry for his lack of involvement.
D. Agger
Carragher was the one often dealing with Holt, allowing Agger to sweep up. However, with Norwich offering very little attacking threat, Agger had a comfortable afternoon, and that will have come as a relief following the defeat at Manchester United last weekend.
A. Wisdom
Another good display from the youngster. Absolutely bossed Elliott Bennett and proved a decent outlet going forward, crossing well when the opportunity arose and passed well.
J. Carragher
The veteran defender may have expected a tough afternoon against the physical Grant Holt, but he had a very easy 90 minutes. If Holt went for a ball in the air, Carragher often kept some space before pouncing on the floor instead. It was a clever tactic and it worked continuously.
G. Johnson
People often highlight defending as Johnson's weakness, but Norwich offered such little attacking threat that he almost certainly spent more time attacking than in his own half. His use of the ball was good and linked up with Suarez well. He would have hoped to have got more crosses in, however.
J. Henderson
The England international has not had an impressive Liverpool career so far, but this was definitely up there with his best performances in a red shirt. He never jumped away from tackles, helped the Gerrard-Lucas partnership and opened the scoring with a sublime strike in the first half.
S. Downing
After a very quiet first half, the winger was a serious problem for Norwich after half-time. He supplied the assist for Sturridge's goal and was a general nuisance on the right.
S. Gerrard
The Liverpool captain was absolutely everywhere, tackling well spreading the play whenever he was able to and he even sat deep on the few occasions that Norwich threatened to get into the Liverpool area. He capped off his performance with a fantastic strike to give the Reds a 4-0 lead.
Lucas Leiva
Patrolled the midfield for the best part of an hour, making sure Howson was as ineffective as possible, and he did the job well. His passing was kept simple, but one saw him get an assist for Suarez as Sturridge stepped over it near the halfway line. Taken off fairly early so not to risk him.
D. Sturridge
Following his move from Chelsea, Sturridge is certainly having an impressive start to his Liverpool career and the Norwich win was no different. His link-up play with Suarez was delightful at times, with his dummy for the Uruguayan's goal testament to that. He effectively ended the match as a contest just after half-time with his third goal in three games and was given a great reception after being replaced by Borini.
L. Suárez
The Uruguayan was chasing a record today as he hoped to become the first player to score three hat-tricks against one team in the Premier League. When he got Liverpool's second it seemed he was on track, and although he could not add the other two goals, his all-round play suggested he deserved them. He never gave the Norwich defence a second of peace, and every time he got the ball Liverpool looked like creating something.
Norwich City
M. Bunn
Made some important saves, but aside from the opening 20 minutes, he was not given much support by his defence. Liverpool gave the ex-Blackburn man no chance with their finishing.
Javier Garrido
Former Manchester City defender Garrido was probably Norwich's least busy defender on the day. Suarez and Sturridge rarely attacked down the right, while Stewart Downing was very quiet before half-time perhaps partly down to Garrido's attentions. A few attacks seemed to form between him and Bennett, but Garrido would not be held responsible.
R. Martin
Had a tough test in the shape of Glen Johnson, with the Liverpool full-back playing extraordinarily high. The Scotland international was playing in front of his new national team manager, Gordon Strachan, and will be pleased with his showing as he stood up well to the challenge of Johnson, allowing few deliveries from his side.
R. Bennett
Norwich began the match well and probably should have taken the lead through a Bennett header, but Jones made the save. From then on Liverpool dominated and he could do little to prevent that. The first four Liverpool goals probably could not have been prevented by him, but his own goal late on made the scoreline look that bit more embarrassing.
M. Turner
Started fairly well, putting in a number of last-ditch tackles and blocks, winning several headers in and around his penalty area. However, all that went to waste as he shied away from Henderson's strike and was taken completely out of the game by a Sturridge dummy in the build-up to Suarez's goal. Later in the game, he was completely terrorised by Sterling before Bennett put the ball into his own goal.
R. Snodgrass
Showed glimpses of his ability, getting on the ball a few times and winning the foul which saw Glen Johnson booked, but his set-piece deliveries were wildly erratic and he did not seem to offer much support in-field or in defence.
A. Tettey
Tettey's Norwich career started impressively, producing a number of good displays, but he seems to have come off the boil in recent weeks. At Anfield, he was willing to throw himself into tackles, but not many of them were particularly good and his concentration was poor.
B. Johnson
The midfield of Johnson and Tettey is far from the most creative as they look to sit and break up play, but they were not even doing that well against Liverpool today. Gerrard and Co. completely ran the midfield, and although some of Johnson's passing was accurate, he was ineffectual against a superior midfield.
E. Bennett
Usually a right-winger, Bennett was playing on the left and although he was up against the inexperienced Wisdom, he was not much of an outlet for Norwich. The rare occasions he had possession, he did not even try to run at his marker.
J. Howson
The midfielder had impressed in recent substitute performances and was therefore given another start. Early on he looked to be Norwich's most potent midfield weapon, with Wes Hoolahan only taking a place on the bench, but as the match went on, Liverpool's dominance only seemed to grow and he had little impact on the match.
G. Holt
You would have been forgiven for not realising the forward was even playing in truth. Norwich's service to the big man was poor, but the simple fact of the matter was that Liverpool nullified practically any creativity Norwich possessed, giving Holt no chance of making an impact.
F. Borini
Has been plagued by injuries since joining in the summer, but he showed a few glimpses on his ability during his cameo, most notably a delightful turn near the corner flag.
R. Sterling
Came on for about 20 minutes and played a key role in Liverpool's fifth goal, beating Turner and then crossing for Bennett to score the own-goal.

Hello, pg friends! Boy this thread has been quiet lately. Thanks, Scully, for recommending the other board too. I've enjoyed reading posts there as well.
Not too much new for me to report. The m/sickness continues at it's yucky pace and I am trying to cope. Still having some bleeding off an on too, although nothing major.
How's everyone else doing?

Hi all. Not much new with me. I have my first ultrasound in 2 weeks, I'll be almost 13 weeks then. No morning sickness yet, I'll feel quesy once in awhile, grocery shopping can bring on an upset stomach but so far no actual vomiting. Yesterday I had a small order of onion rings and that almost did me in. I felt so sick I though for sure I was going to puke but I kept it down. Well I now know what NOT to eat!
I've been so sleepy I haven't exercised in 3 weeks. I finally got on the bike today for 30 minutes. I feel better for it so I'm going to try and get more exercise. well I'm almost done the first trimester so I should be getting that energy back. I hope!
Sara - sorry to hear that you are still having the ms. I hope it passes soon.

This board sure has been quiet lately.
Sara - I hope that ms leaves you soon. I was very blessed (with both pregnancies now) to have never gone through anything like real ms.
Jen - I, too, went through the sensitivity to certain smells. There were times that I thought just the odor of something would make me sick. But, I am very lucky that that passed before the second trimester began.
Things had been going well for me until last week. I have had some horrible back pain lately. Of course, living here in the Northeast in the winter brings many colds. So I thought it might just be muscle aches from that. But we have had rain lately and I have noticed that when the humidity and pressure rises, my back will hurt more. I was told when that happens to put up my feet and wrap a heating pad in a towel for a little while. I am praying that it is not sciatica. I have not been able to exercise as much as I want to. I guage it by how I feel when I get out of bed in the morning. If my back hurts when I get up, I won't workout. I am looking forward to Spring when I can go for a walk. I have learned that the right sneakers make a big difference too.
I hope all of the other moms-to-be out there are doing well.

Hi Everyone!
I am doing well, and getting past what I call m/s. My stomach feels yucky a lot of the time, but no vomiting. I also have sensitivity to smells! So much so, I find food less appealing. I have my tired moments, but not too bad overall. I really want to get back into my exercise regime, and keep fit. I am going to the pool tomorrow to do water aerobics. It is so wonderful to be in a warm pool! It reminds me of how the baby must feel surrounded by amniotic fluid.
My DH was in California for several days and sent me a dozen long stemmed red roses.
It was a delightful present to get while he's away. He is coming home tonight and we will all be happy to be together.
It's gonna be a busy week starting today. The kids have a half day today and tomorrow and off on Monday. Fortunately, there is always something to do. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can send them outside when they get rambunctious! It will be nice to sit on the deck and be out in the fresh air again. I miss it!
Well, my next Dr. Appointment is on March 6 and at that time I will be about 11 weeks. I am hoping that I will be able to hear the heartbeat on the doppler. Since my last appointment with the Midwife, I changed my mind and I want to go back to the doctor who delivered my second child. I wasn't totally happy with the experience there. It's too long to get into, and you'd be bored with it anyway. I guess that I need the comfort of having an M.D.
Anyway, I am glad that you are all doing well. Sara, I hope that the M/s subsides and disappears by the second trimester! I know you must be miserable. I'm not sure there is a worse feeling than being neauseas all the time.
Well, gotta go!
Warmest Regards,
Scully and bellybean

Hello friends! Good to read about how many of you are doing again. Sorry that I've been so down lately. I really am normally a happy person, really! This sickness is getting to me. I hope it only lasts a few weeks more, because I have been so down-in-the-dumps. I really want to enjoy every moment of this pregnancy, but I've been miserable... I can relate to what everyone said about smells, they do me in all the time! That and riding in traffic, that gets me every time. (We live in the Denver area, so there's plenty of that.) I keep a garbage can in the van and have had to use it on many occassions. (Sorry for the gritty details!)
Jen -- Enjoy that ultrasound! It feels SO good to see that little heartbeat!
I am very anxious to get back into exercising (I miss it, believe it or not!) so I'll be glad when the doctor lifts that restriction. I start a pre-natal water aerobics class in March if dr. okays it -- can't wait!
Take Care of yourselves, Mommies to Be! (Get lots of rest!)

Hello to everyone. Haven't posted in quite awhile. Everything is fine with me. Had 2nd Dr.'s appt. Monday. Gained too much weight and blood pressure up a little other than that everything ok. Said should be able to hear the heart beat next month. We are still trying to decide on the amnio test. Highly recommended because of my age. But so scary.
The tiredness is getting better and this would have been a good week except that I had to get a cold so I have felt miserable along with all the pregnant stuff. Have worked all week also. Trying to save as many sick days as possible. Sometimes I just seemed overwhelmed by all of this. Having to start it all over again. But I know that I am just remembering all of the bad things and I've got to start concentrating more on the good things that go along with having a baby!! Sorry if I sound down. Do any of you experience lots of emotions? I don't remember that from my first pregnancy. But I can just be sitting and I will just start crying for no reason. And I'm not a crier. I guess it's just hormones. Plus my almost 18 year old baby will be graduating and going to college and I guess it's just all of it together. Well I've written a book and lots of is depressing. I'll be better next time and I will try to post more regularly. Everyone take care.

Sara, I totally understand about you feeling down. I hate being sick to my stomach, I hate throwing up, I always feel rotten afterward. Having to go through it on a daily basis, not knowing if it is ever going to end has got to be very depressing. I hope that when you are in the 2nd trimester that it will pass.
Cassandra - I'm looking forward to Spring too. I want to get back out and do some walking but I hate going out in the cold and snow.
Scully - water exercise sounds fantastic. I can't remember the last time I was in a pool.
ckn - talk about emotions! I've had days where I've been watching tv and just bawling at something. Also is tired an emotion? At this point it feels like it should be. I can hardly wait until my energy level increases in the 2nd trimester (keeping my fingers crossed!).

Yes, ladies, I'm still hanging around here! Only 4 more weeks until my due date--yikes, I'm starting to panic. We had a shower last weekend, which was small but fun, and another on Sunday. We've planned to go out on Monday and buy all the stuff we'll need that we don't/didn't get at the showers, and that'll be cool. We've also decided we need to go ahead and pack our bags for the hospital--did I mention that this is starting to scare me????? Help, I'm not ready!!!
Sorry to hear that so many of you are feeling lousy; just think, that stage will be over soon and you'll get your energy back and be feeling much better.
Ckn, I know someone who recently had an amnio, and she said it really wasn't that bad. Not great, of course, but OK. She said it was the kind of thing that if they told her they had to do it again, her reaction would be "Oh, yuck" rather than being scared or refusing to do it. Hopefully it'll be OK if you decide to do it, it might be worth it to have some piece of mind.

ckn -- boy, am I ever emotional -- I can totally relate! I think what you are feeling is totally normal. Like Jen, I cry at half of what I see on TV! Plus, you are going to go through a major life change with this new little one, putting you at a whole different stage in life. Not that it won't be good, but it's a lot to try to take in.
You know, I always thought I would never want an amnio, but lately I've been thinking I would if the doctor said I should. They do it SO often now, it must be pretty safe. Plus that reassurance that all is well would be really nice.
Jeanne -- you are getting so close! Wow! It's going to be great! I'm so excited for you! Before you know it you will be on here telling us your birth story and making all us first trimester people cry our eyes out!
I am feeling a little better today, a gift from God. Maybe the m/s is starting to get better? Today I end my 11th week, whatever that means. I can't keep all the weeks/months counting quite straight. When exactly is the first trimester over???

Isn't pregnancy something else? For some people it is 40 weeks of horror and for others it is just like any other day. I am amazed at all of the differences each person goes through. I honestly believe that for something that so many (millions) of people go through, it can only mean that God is controling this particular part.
Scully - That is a great website you recommended. I am enjoying it immensely.
Have a great weekend everyone! I hope you all feel great!

Hello, friends!
It's great to see this thread active again -- thanks everyone for writing!
2beslim -- Welcome! We're glad to have you join us! I don't have any reason to have amnio, I was just thinking while I was typing about if I ever did have to face the issue!
We are expecting our third baby too.
Cassandra -- I know what you mean about the m/sickness and other complications. I keep thinking, if everyone had to go through ms to have a healthy baby, I would understand, but why do some women have it and others, nothing? The other day my DH said, "maybe some women just tolerate it better" (which of course ticked me off and made me cry, because it was like saying I'm not handling it well, but that's another whole story!), but I don't think that's true. Some women really don't HAVE it. I don't get it.
But on a positive note, I've felt pretty good for the past TWO days! Hooray! I still have waves of nausea at times, but nothing like the constant-head-in-the-toilet life I've been living. I'm trying not to get my hopes up that the worst is over, but I admit that's what I'm praying for!

Hi everyone! Welcome 2Bslim!
Well, it's Sunday morning, and I am ready for the new week.
Sara, I've been thinking about you, and what you said about feeling like you are normally a happy person...I know that you are. I have to tell you, that since I found out that I was pregnant, I have went through big hormonal changes. I've not been feeling so well myself. (And you had BAD morning sickness) I told my husband just last night that I was thinking how I needed to take better care of myself. I've just been so blah lately and my stomach constantly is bothering me. When someone asks me how I feel, I say okay--but not great. Then I feel guilty for admitting it outloud, because we are supposed to be so happy about the pregnancy. (Which I am) but, I keep thinking that I hope this feeling is temporary, and first trimester. A friend of mine reminded me that I'd feel things a lot faster now since it is my 3rd pregnancy and I am now 35. I'm just not so sure that I believe that totally. I constantly have stomach aches, and my tummy is so bloated. I can tell a difference in my jeans already, and I am being really good about not overeating. I am constantly aware that I am trying to NOT gain weight in the first trimester because I know that I don't need to. I find myself so selfconscious, and I told myself that I must try to work on my body image really bigtime now. It wouldn't be healthy to be depressed about
NOW! Anyway, I just wanted to share with you that you are not the only one who feels like it is not permissable to complain about feeling bad. What is that anyway? They say that every pregnancy is different, and I can honestly say that this one will be the biggest challenge, because I [b]hate[b/] feeling sick too, and I don't feel like my "normal" self. Hopefully this will pass us first trimester people soon! I also wanted to tell you that I have also had days of light bleeding (still brown), but it is everyday. It bothers me too. I feel like I want to run to the doctor for them to check me out, even though I know that a lot of women experience this throughout their pregnancies. I sure hope that this is something that passes too. No cramping or anything...but it still is always on the edge of my mind. I am 8.4 weeks along today. I read that the first trimester ends at the end of week 13. So I suppose that second trimester officially begins the first day of the 14th week.
Check this out, you mommies will [b]love[b/] this site!!!
Other than that, I highly recommend the water aerobics. I feel like it is going to be a special bond between the baby and myself. I never did it with my other 2, and I inntend on doing this until I deliver. It is optimal for feeling light--and boy will I ever need that! LOL
Hope everyone is well!

Hi all. I'm at work right now. feel like crap. I'm coming down with a cold or something. my chest is feeling really tight and i've got swollen glands. is there anything i can take for cold relief? i usually take nyquil but i'm certain i can't take that. can you take the nasal sprays for stuffy nose when pregnant?
otherwise nothing new. this is week 11 for me. i think the first trimester is over after week 12, so the beginning of week 13. I think I have gained a pound or 2 but nothing major. my diet hasn't been fabulous but i've been taking my supplements. i've been trying to keep up with my fruits and veggies. but it just depends on whether or not I have any appetite.
take care all

Scully, thanks for sharing your feelings. It helps to know there are people experiencing the same feelings and I am not totally crazy.
Jen -- sorry to hear you are feeling sick! Here's the list of meds the doctor gave me that are SAFE (although different doctors have differening opinions, I've learned.)
Dimetapp, Sudafed, Chloroseptic, Robitussin (plain), Vicks drops or rubs, Sucrets, Theraflu, Tylenol Sinus, and Tylenol Cold and Allergy, and of course plain Tylenol.
Get well!
P.S. Scully, I KNOW this is so much easier said than done (because I do it too!) but please try not to worry about weight gain. I know you are a healthy person and exercise -- you will do just fine!

Avey - I'm Your Eagle Kisser
edited April 2011 in Side Projects
Yeah it's probably one of my favorite songs from Avey. I don't remember when, but I thought he said it was recorded a while back before he released it... so maybe when Pullhair came out? 2005ish? I know it wasn't recorded when it was released, which was 2008.
hahaha!!  I was just about to post about this!! It was on a compilation called [i]Living Bridge[/i] from rarebookroom records. His sister Abby's band Rings also has a track on there. Check it out!!  Compilation info: http://therarebookroom.blogspot.com/200 ... ridge.html I'm Your Eagle Kisser Track: http://letsgetknown.blogspot.com/2011/0 ... isser.html
I wish there was a tangible copy of this, along with some of his other rare solo stuff. I really love it all.
what's not tangible about it? The link is to the studio version. Just download it. Great piano work!! I'M DRUNK ON YOUR POTATOES!!!
Yeah, that's what I mean. I'd like this in CD form, because a cd is something I can hold in me wee little fingers.
[quote="SpritBear1"]Yeah, that's what I mean. I'd like this in CD form, because a cd is something I can hold in me wee little fingers.[/quote] Why don't you order it from rbr? it's only $13
That is true sir, but that's only one track of Avey. The rest isn't him, and if I bought an album for the purpose of getting his music, I'd just want it to be ALL him. Everything I just typed sounds so nit picky (is that how you type that saying?) when I read it to myself. I apologize.
No i hear ya, a compilation of just Avey Tare b-sides, rare, and early recordings would be tits!!
[quote]I'M DRUNK ON YOUR POTATOES!!![/quote] the hell are you talking about avey!
isn't vodka made out of potatoes??
that can't be right?
Yes, vodka is made out of potatoes. Also, kissing, fondling, hugging, or touching an endangered species in any way is a federal offense punishable by death. Run. [b][u][size=200]RUN!!![/size][/u][/b]
i want to make a head dress out of eagle feathers! beagle leathers!
Illegal Pleasures and a Regal Carl Weathers.
my favorite random avey track is judy biworker. it's soooo pretty
i'll forever treasure the original version of FOETUS NO-MAN kria's little bjork like animal noises [!] and REWRRR rewrrrr reweerr rrewwer the noises avey makes! so great! are you oKAY! [avey are you ok! would you tell us? if you were nokay!]
Oh yes! Her squeels and whatnot are amazing in that song. I love her voice. And his with hers! It was a perfect combination. I miss them. Are you oKAY KAY KAY.
i want a mash-up with ANNIE ARE YOU OKAY / smooth criminal! [alient ant farm version!] but man the fact they had that magical song and what it became on the album [forwards OR reversed] is just sad and one time avey threw it in the fangs faces saying there WAS a studio version of the song but we would never hear it! ... that was so mean! but it was a thread where people were talking about it being reversed and putting him on the spot and someone badmouthed his wife which was a really low blow / stupid move! but still! all this time later and i can only wonder about the studio version! though at least we have the early live version ... i mean a studio version wouldn't be too much different... oh well
I'd love to hear that studio version. When did he say there was one?
on the AC board! not this one! that OTHER one! also may of 09 i asked him personally in ze flesh and he acted like don't worry it'll surface some day! but that was MAY! almost 2 years ago! it IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!
What boot is this magical version on?
Oh Right Dwight. That OTHER board. I like dis one. And I'd really like for the supposed "studio version" to rise up from the dust clouds. Eat the couches!

[WHY would i be on booth!] yes booth! but this one won / survived the other one died! and the guy who made it LIED __<" title="mad" /> [turns out he "grew out of" AC which angered me so!]
AC's not something you "grow out of" small cracker! That makes me sticky.
in general i don't trust people that get REALLY REALLY into a band then cool on them so much they don't even consider themselves even a casual fan... where they act like "oh that was just some phase! i'm so embarassed that i liked them!" when at the time they were super into them!~ ... that's sucha con!
I don't trust people when they hit up transsexual escorts on Craigslist and then never follow through on their offers.
i can see how that would be frustrating too!
what the damn hell dave! haha!

ASUS Sabertooth X58 Review
The Intel x58 chipset has been out for a while now and the market has been well served with motherboard choices carrying this chipset. Currently, designs are shifting towards improving upon the old and becoming more trendy. Basically, they're attempting to offer more than their prior counterparts. Some aim to lower power consumption through more efficient designs while others try to provide improved reliability or deliver lower operating temperatures. Another common ploy is adding SATA 6 Gb/s and USB 3.0 to make the boards more future proof. Promises of overclocking capabilities, longer life spans and more efficient operation are all strong reasons to choose a product. With that in mind, we are here to announce that ASUS has returned with their TUF line to bring forth the Sabertooth X58! The Sabertooth claims to do all of these and more with stringent quality testing and a five-year warranty. The color scheme looks similar to army camouflage colors. The green heat sinks are all coated in some sort of ceramic coating that appears related to the automobile industry and which supposedly helps temperatures (although the automotive coat usually holds in heat as in high temperature exhaust systems). The TUF line seems to have a strong following and this board looks good next to the Noctua fans and heat sink!
Closer Look:
The box in which the ASUS Sabertooth arrived has a dark blackish background that looks similar to brushed aluminum plate. The TUF (The Ultimate Force) badge hangs at the top left and also exposes an image to the right. The top right shows three Intel badges proclaiming it's six core 32nm CPU ready and offers X58 chipset and Core i7 compatibility. In bold bright yellow, the words Sabertooth X58 sit to the lower left portion with the word "motherboard" in a smaller white font. At the very bottom is another metallic design and the ASUS company logo. Flipping over to the back shows the same TUF and motherboard badges along with the ASUS logo at the bottom with contact information. The middle is dedicated to showing the primary specifications and features such as CeraMIX heat sink coating technology, TUF components and E.S.P. (Efficient Switching Power Design). Immediately below all of this are thirteen different languages briefly explaining the USB 3.0, SATA 6 Gb/s, and TUF Components.
The front cover is also a flap. Opening the flap shows several of the features in-depth with some pictures and icons. The first item is the CeraMix heat sink coating that is supposed to conduct heat from the system and keep the metal from oxidizing. The surface area has been increased by the rough coating allowing more room for heat transmission into the surrounding air (in theory). Next is E.S.P, (Efficient Switching Power Design). Electrical and heat efficiency are increased for the CPU, memory and chipset. Third, is the TUF Components (chokes, capacitors and MOSFETS) for great performance even in harsh conditions. Most of the electronics are shock, humidity and heat resistant (more so than standard components would be). Two SATA ports on the motherboard support SATA 6.0 Gb/s and RAID. The next side has another three features starting with USB 3.0 support which is backwards compatible with prior generations of USB devices. When using high-end memory or odd configurations, not all systems will boot happily. With the Sabertooth, a MemOK! Button has been added that forces the motherboard to load fail-safe memory settings which should allow the system to boot. This is a handy feature for anyone who has run into that problem and had to scrounge around for more memory just to get into the BIOS. Lastly, the ASUS Q-Design feature, built up from the Q-LED, Q-Slot, Q-Connector and Q-Shield devices make DIY assembly and diagnosis simpler. A few more features are shown with pictures at the bottom.
The side of the motherboard box continues the box art trend, nothing new is introduced but at least it isn't empty. Opening the box, users are greeted by the accessories. SATA cables, back panel and Q-Connectors which make up the hardware accessories along with a user guide, five-year warranty notice booklet, certificate of reliability and case badge with the driver disk.
Underneath a layer of cardboard and accessories is the motherboard protected by a clear anti-static bag. This bag allows for a decent sneak peek at what the motherboard looks like and how it is configured. The earth tones remind me of military camouflage and although the color scheme isn't too common (brown, green, and black), I think it would look good next to Noctua fans or other similarly colored products. The I/O plate has foam padding with a mesh backing to give it a tight seal with the motherboard I/O panel.
Time to get a closer look at those accessories!

Genre: Contemporary Young Adult that eventually morphs into Historical YA
My dad slipped a brittle manila envelope into my hands as he turned to smile at a slim woman with close-cropped gray hair, impeccable posture, and a uniform from airport security. At that moment, Grandma Orshina's demand to see the oh-so-mysterious family relic seemed like sound evidence of debilitating dementia. Of course Dad was oblivious to the obvious. His mother's insistence on stepping straight off the plane from Iraq and immediately snatching up the envelope was a surefire passport to a pair of cold handcuffs and a humiliating search if anyone saw our questionable package.
I stood in the company of a tall dark Assyrian man (my father) whose not-even-mildly-American name (Abrohom Yaqub Dayan) was sure to draw unnecessary attention. And although Emma sounds like an innocent enough moniker, Emma Nirari Dayan most certainly does not. Add to that the most annoying infant in the history of all Chicago, cooing with deceptive good humor from his stroller, and an enormous basket of walnut kifile, and we were not the most inconspicuous family picking up relatives at O'Hare that day.

Earth : Asia : South Asia : India : Plains (India) : Uttar Pradesh : Doab : Kanpur
Kanpur is a city in Uttar Pradesh.
Kanpur a major industrial and commercial city located on the banks of the River Ganges. It has an area of over 1,200 km²(5th largest city in India) and had a population of around 6.1 million in the 2008 census. Kanpur is home to several educational institutions, including an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT-Kanpur), CSJM University, Harcourt Butler Technological Institute (HBTI), University Institute of Engineering and Technology, GSVM Medical College and Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology (AITH).
Get in
By rail
Being located on the national corridor of railways the city of Kanpur is well connected with the rest of India by rail services, eg. Shadabti Express from Delhi to Kanpur.
It also lies on the Kolkata-New Delhi rail link and hence is connected with Rajdhani expresses (multiple of them, Howrah rajdhani, Guwahati rajdhani, Bhubaneswar rajdhani).
Main Railway Stations in the City
By air
Even though Kanpur has an airport, there are only six flights per week to Delhi and three per week to Kolkata operated by Air India. If flying from any other city, you can take an Air India (formerly Indian Airlines) flight to Delhi (get your luggage checked through to avoid confusion - Air India offers the service), and then take an Air India flight from Delhi to Kanpur.
Many travelers to\from Kanpur also use the airport at neighbouring city of Lucknow. Lucknow Airport is well-connected to many cities in India and Middle-East. It is about 70 Kilometers from Kanpur. From Lucknow airport one can take taxi to come to the city rail or bus stations from where can take bus (both AC and non-AC) or train to come to Kanpur. Please note that buses are available from 'Alambag Bus Stop, Lucknow' which is 6 KMs away from the Airport and Trains are available from 'Charbagh, Lucknow' which is 10 KMs away from the Airport. However taxies can be taken from airport itself.
The flights to Kanpur and Lucknow are generally reliable and timely, but may get delayed or diverted during winter (Dec-Jan) when the region often experiences dense fog. Trains too get affected. Plan your travel accordingly and allow for possible delays.

Get around
City Bus
There are Air Conditioned city buses running by UPSRTC under JNNURM. These buses offer cheaper rates than Auto Rickshaws. For more information see the page Kanpur Metropolitan Bus Service in Wikipedia.
You can travel using auto rickshaws or the tempo (three wheelers) called Vikram. Vikram is the cheapest mode of transportation. Vikram drivers have a fixed rate for point-to-point travels and its an experience in itself. The quality of auto rickshaws in Kanpur is not very comfortable and there is no system for charging the fare by Kilo meters.
Cycle Rickshaw
Cycle rickshaws have no fixed fares for the destinations. They are very convenient way of travel, especially for the short distances. One has to bargain for the fare for taking their service.
Car Taxi
Private car taxis are available at various hotels and thru travel agencies.
Kanpur is a great place for Chat lovers, the city is planked with chat shops serving pani puri, allu tikki, dahai chat etc.
A popular food junction is the lane at arya nagar, with eatries serving everything from chat, south indian, biryani, egg rolls, burgers, chats to ice creams.
For a range of multi cuisine restaurants vist The Mall, Naveen Market, Civil Lines, Sarvodaya Nagar (Moti Rave) and Swaroop Nagar, restaurants open to 11PM. Check out Aromas in Swaroop Nagar for some awesome burgers. Try the mushroom burger if you are the adventurous kind, you will not be disappointed.
No meal in Kanpur can be completed without eating pan, hence, if you are near cantt, the mall road, near phool bagh gives you excellent paan options, or may just drive till birhana road and grab a pan there. Around the other side however, the lane near halet, is a haven of pan vendors. With alternating medicine and CT scan clinics, the pans here are the best in the city. The pan shops are open comfortably till 2AM. Perfect reason to go out on a drive.
eat A small standing-only place near the Parade Chauraha, the aroma of mouthwatering Chicken Biryani will wipe out all thoughts of chicken flu from your mind. After you dig into the food, you may even end up walking away with a parcel for the evening. I say a parcel for dinner because this place shuts at 3 pm. So drop in between 11.30 am and 3 pm. And, it is closed on Tuesdays.An apology to vegetarians. This place does not cater to them.

BEDFORD, N.H. — GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry told New Hampshire voters Wednesday that he does not believe in manmade global warming, calling it a scientific theory that has not been proven.
"I think we're seeing almost weekly, or even daily, scientists that are coming forward and questioning the original idea that manmade global warming is what is causing the climate to change," the Texas governor said on the first stop of a two-day trip to the first-in-the-nation primary state.
He said some want billions or trillions of taxpayer dollars spent to address the issue, but he added: "I don't think from my perspective that I want to be engaged in spending that much money on still a scientific theory that has not been proven and from my perspective is more and more being put into question."
His comments came at a packed breakfast meeting with local business leaders in a region known for its strong environmental policies. And he made his global warming comment in response to a question by an audience member who cited evidence from the National Academy of Sciences.
But Perry's opinion runs counter to the view held by an overwhelming majority of scientists that pollution released from the burning of fossil fuels is heating up the planet. Perry's home state of Texas releases more heat-trapping pollution carbon dioxide — the chief greenhouse gas — than any other state in the country, according to government data.
Global warming has become an issue for contenders for the Republican nomination to run away from, since many conservatives question overwhelming evidence showing climate change is happening and the big government solutions to stem it.
Jon Huntsman, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney — who all at one point supported steps to curb global warming pollution — have since tempered their stances. But unlike Perry, both Romney and Huntsman acknowledge the scientific evidence.
On Wednesday, Perry promised to return regularly to a state that was not kind to a past Texas governor; Arizona Sen. John McCain upset GOP frontrunner and former Texas Gov. George W. Bush here in the 2000 presidential primary.
For many New Hampshire voters, Wednesday offered their first close look at the longtime Texas politician, who formally launched his White House bid over the weekend.
At the breakfast, Perry also questioned the loyalty of the Federal Reserve, just days after saying that if the Federal Reserve puts more money in the U.S. system, it could be considered a treasonous act that would be treated "pretty ugly" back home.
He noted the criticism he took for the comment, but did not back away from them. And he called on the institution to open its books.
"It would go a long way toward either finding out whether or not there is some activities that are improper of that they've been handling themselves quite well," he said. "But until they do that, I think there will continue to be questions about their activity and what their true goal is for the United States."
Perry also said he would not have signed the debt-ceiling compromise brokered by congressional leaders and the White House to avoid a national default.
"No I would not have signed it," he said. "We got to quit spending money."
Perry was meeting with more business leaders Wednesday before touring the seacoast region Thursday.

Not to mention dubbing anime is very challenging and according to some posts at the AnimeonDVD forums big names have tried but apparently don't have what it takes a lot of the time. And most of those on the cast have given solid performances in other roles.

Command of the Revenants
Despite the size of our little anime community, it's still a niche. This may also be transferred to the people willing to act for them as well.
The companies can only make so much money since it's a rather small community among the English-speaking world. Real actors (I'm guessing, what, Patrick Stewart here? Or maybe Samuel Jackson, if we take Afro Samurai into account.) would also be much more expensive.
Being new, I must ask: Do dub threads tend to veer from the actual dub a lot, usually going into justifying the meer existence of it? I mean, I can't say too much since I've never seen Code Geass. We need another trailer or something.

My stance towards dubbing is neutral. If a dub brings in a whole new audience (and knowing Adult Swim, Code Geass's dub will), then I'm all for it. The dub watchers are still experiencing the same exact story that I did when watching the sub. More people viewing the epicness that is Code Geass can never be a bad thing. All it means is that I'll have new people to discuss it with. Criticizing a particular dub is fine, but to tear it down prematurely when you don't even intend to watch it seriously is just lame.

what do i know

by real actors i just mean people who can read off a verse with the emotion thats supposed to be there (kinda like the Japanese voice actors do it)
i was really just wondering why the choices are so limited to the same people it just i think some of these anime (especially this one) deserve better

I read in an interview that Yuri prefers listening to anime in its original language since he is fluent in Japanese (you can tell by the way he pronounces Japanese names with an accent in Naruto). Obviously the market for new actors in the US is pretty low and get recycled over and over again. Anime is a part of Japanese culture (as can be seen in Genshiken). It's not a phenomenon here in the US since the country didn't create anime. It all comes down to money and delivering lines from the director. Why do you think we have celebrities making millions in contracts? Here, VAs are near the bottom of the food chain when it comes to income and have to join unions (or using aliases) just to make a certain amount. These VAs are not in it for fame, glory, and wealth. It's just to do what they wanted and to survive to make ends meet.
Code Geass would be perfect on Adult Swim to replace Blood+. If I get criticized for doing a poor job at it, then I improve on it. Bosch doesn't have a lot of range like Higgins, but he seems to get plenty of lead roles lately in anime and video games. He does fit for Nero in DMC4 like Ichigo. As Lelouch, I have to watch and hear if it is any good. If I want to watch subs with my eyes straining from reading the text without looking at the actual anime, then I'm not actually watching it as I have to shift my eyes often. The dub in Death Note is pretty good (except for L which is probably deep) and seems to be interesting. Some of these VAs really need range like Bridget Hoffman (can do just about any role). I'll have to wait in Spring to see if it does live up to the Jap. VAs. I think the Jap. director did this on purpose just like the Jap. VAs for choosing English VAs.

I'm definitely not in the intended target audience for this...but the dub trailer seems to be fairly OK in my opinion, though it's still too short to know how well the actors will perform in their roles.
As for editing...as long as they don't edit the overall story itself, including the fact that murders and massacres happen, I suppose the show can survive shortening or cutting out a few scenes here and there.

I have high hopes for the dubb of this anime. BAndai usuallly makes great dubbing. There have been some great series that their dubbings are from quite good to stellar. Specially with CowBoy Bebop. Many people loved the dubbing that was made for this series from Badai.
I cant wait for this series to reach on DVDs ^_^. Remember everyone to support this series .

CC sounds good.
Kallen sounds too old.
Zero. . . power ranger dude doesn't fit Zero.
Suzaku. . . doesn't match up very well.
Terrorist A. . . good!
Zero and Suzaku should switch places. Yuri forces his voice a little deeper and I buy him as Zero. Bosch would make a better Suzaku or Lloyd. Bosch needs to make his voice deeeeeeper.

They're trying to pull off what Taniguchi pulled off with Fukada and whats his name...
Anyway, Suzu's jap VA is more evil and Fukuada is more Happy, so Taniguchi switched them up with roles.
Yuri has done more dark based characters such as Haseo from GU games, and Sasuke.
Johnny is the upcoming hero Nero in Devil may cry and our lovable Power Ranger from our childhoods.
Thus they have roles that are complete opposites of what they usually get.

Suzaku's VA did Haseo in Jpn version. Hence some fans call Suzaku the "Terror of Death".
I believe Johnny will do a deeper voice. In the trailer, Lelouch's "well then" is deep enough.
In fact I love that line. It made me upload the trailer to Niconico and subbed it so Japanese fans could enjoy it as well.
Taniguchi picked the VAs for the main cast in US version, BTW. I also think he's trying to pull this trick again.
But this time without Taniguchi around to keep telling Johnny to lower his voice and Yuri to lighten up, we can only hope.
