Two-piece design includes the thermostat and an equipment interface module (EIM) that communicate with each other using proven Honeywell RedLINK wireless technology.
The EConnect System takes electric heat control to a whole new level, with its advanced design, patented features, accessory add-ons and wireless installation. Optimal sensing and comfort. EConnect does it all.
Works Every Time: The RedLINK signal has been tested and proven to work through concrete, brick and other building materials in homes up to 10,000 square feet with multiple levels. It works every time in every home.
Zero Interference: RedLINK's ability to "hop frequencies" means that the signal is secure. It won't affect or be effected by other wireless devices in the home such as baby monitors and cordless phones — or with neighboring systems.
Trust: Backed by proven Honeywell technology, internal safeguards continuously self-check the signal — so it's never lost. With the Honeywell complete line of RedLINK Wireless Comfort Systems and accessories you get complete control of your heating and cooling systems.
RedLINK Wireless Technology eliminates the need to run wires in many applications and enables homeowners to have advanced comfort control anywhere in the home. With wireless security systems installed in more than 100 million homes protecting people and property around the clock, Honeywell is a leader in wireless technology. Using this expertise and knowledge, Honeywell developed RedLINK™ - the first wireless technology engineered specifically for HVAC applications - now also available for the electrical industry through EConnect.
When it comes to electric heating, EConnect redefines the meaning of comfort. Today, most electric heat is controlled from a knob on the baseboard, or a built-in control on the heater, that is typically located near the floor – not the ideal control or sensing location for maintaining a comfortable home environment. And even though it is possible to add a wall control to electric heat systems, it often means having to open up and re-patch walls for wiring, which can add extra mess, time, and cost. Thanks to Honeywell's RedLINK™ Wireless Technology and EConnect, those days are gone. Since EConnect is completely wireless, your electrician can install your thermostat wherever you want it in the room - improving comfort without requiring any renovation. A single EConnect thermostat can control all heaters in the room, for maximum convenience, energy efficiency, and comfort. And, as part of the EConnect Comfort System, RedLINKenabled accessories give you access to outdoor temperature information, and the freedom to control your comfort from any room in your home or anywhere in the world with our Total Connect remote access service.

An-Najah National University is Palestine's leading academic institution in medicine and health care. Since the inception of its Faculty of Medicine in 1999, the university has made tremendous achievements in the promotion of medical science and care for Palestinians—the latest of these achievements being the An-Najah National University Hospital in Nablus.
Nablus has a population of more than 340,000 and is the second-largest country in the West Bank. The city is central to all northern villages, making it a natural hub for medical services to over 1,000,000 inhabitants. With only 24 government hospitals in the West Bank and Gaza, the ratio between hospital beds and the total population is 1 to 1,000. Recognizing this huge disparity, An-Najah's Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, began construction of NNUH jointly with the Ministry of Health in 2008, establishing Palestine's first university hospital.
Today, although construction continues, the hospital's main facility is operational and currently treating patients. With 120 beds and a total area of 17,000 square meters, the facility hosts a fully running intensive care unit (ICU), emergency room, dialysis treatment, X-ray, ultrasound, and computerized tomography (CT) scan—making the hospital the most advanced provider of medical services in Palestine.
Welcome to the Web site of Al-Quds School of Medicine. As dean of the medical school, I am proud of the programme we offer and the quality of students we enroll since we started in 1994. I am delighted that you are interested in learning more about us.
The medical school is the major faculty in the Health Sciences complex at Al-Quds university., which comprises the other health related schools-Dentistry, Pharmacy, Public health, Nursing and Allied Health Professions
Although the School of Medicine does not own a teaching hospital, it is affiliated with the main hospitals in the locality for the purpose of clinical training of its students. Together they make up a 700 bed secondary/tertiary care facilities. However, The University is in the process of establishing its own teaching clinical center on the university campus with the creation of a level 1 Emergency center
The main mission of the medical school is to educate professionally competent physicians for the needs of the public health care system. The Faculty has recognised that biomedical and clinical knowledge, based largely on natural sciences, is of central importance in medical practice. In addition, medical students should consider health as a multi-factorial entity with cultural, psychological and social dimensions. Accordingly, the Faculty has reformed its teaching and learning philosophy and restructured the curriculum to guide changes in undergraduate medical education.
The purpose of the new education philosophy, is to educate experts of medicine, who are knowledgeable and responsible physicians for clinical work as well as for biomedical and clinical research and administration. It is suggested that the future physician has integrated competence and holistic view of patient treatment, in which scientific thinking, knowledge of behavioural science and ethics are integrated with clinical knowledge.
Our medical school carefully selects applicants who demonstrate the intellectual ability, personal attributes, and motivation to be successful in medical school, in postgraduate training, and throughout their professional careers. We also recognize and appreciate a genuine desire on the part of our students to improve the lives of others by preventing, treating, and when possible, curing disease. Our students enjoy an atmosphere of camaraderie and collegiality with each other and with their tutors. Beyond the academic experiences offered at our medical school, we encourage the development of our students as caring physicians dedicated to providing the very best care, professionally and personally, to all patients.
Dr. Hani Abdeen, MD
The Dean
President Arafat's decision in 1991 to establish Al-Azhar University-Gaza has materialized the overwhelming dream of the Palestinian academic cadres in creating a Palestinian national university, that can fulfill the ambitions and achieve the dreams of the Palestinian upcoming generations, and help them pursue their higher studies under the supervision of highly qualified Palestinian cadres. Having been given limited access to Arab and international universities.
Thousands of Palestinian students have joined Al-Azhar University-Gaza pursuing studies in different academic fields, and acquiring Palestinian values to help them take part in the construction of their own state. In nineteen years of its life, the University has twelve faculties. Besides, the university comprises educational centers, which can meet the needs of the Palestinian community, and help its youth majoring in diverse and fruitful fields of post-graduate knowledge.
Moreover, the University has established postgraduate study programs towards a Master Degree in Pharmacy, Arts, Mediterranean Studies, Law, Education, Agriculture, Water Sciences and Environment, Statistics, Accounting, Business Administration, Economic, Political Sciences, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics.
It will be historically acknowledged that Al-Azhar University-Gaza has positively participated in educating successive Palestinian generations whose main pillars are: planning, hard work, and objectivity, and in helping hundreds of graduates to represent and develop the Palestinian local community.
May God bless our efforts
The College of Medicine from the sun of the most prestigious medical schools Egyptian history since its inception in 1947. Where he graduated many talented and professors pioneers in the field of medicine and management and leadership at the level of Egypt and the world, and having completed its golden jubilee (50 years) has become a proven fact indispensable in the world of medicine inside and outside the Arab world because it includes many of the medical staff distinguished professors of medicine who arrived 's 2808 faculty members and 1002 of assistants who work in 34 departments spread over ten academic departments within the college and 24 part clinically hospitals University, and employs more than ten thousand of employees and the number of students enrolled in college to get a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery 6657 students and 3038 for studies High during the academic year 2011-2012. Located Ain Shams University Hospitals on an area of 24 acres and includes approximately 3,200 beds serving about one million patients a year and outpatient department procedure.
Teaching since 1752
Medical teaching in Manchester began when Charles White founded the first modern hospital in the Manchester area, the Manchester Royal Infirmary, in 1752. He was followed by Joseph Jordan, who opened a School of Anatomy in 1814.
School opens its doors
Various privately-run medical teaching colleges amalgamated to form the Royal Manchester School of Medicine and Surgery. The School of Medicine was officially opened in October 1874 by Thomas Huxley, one of the great exponents of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. It formed part of Owens College, later to become The University of Manchester.
First degrees awarded
In the following ten years, teaching and laboratory space expanded dramatically, culminating in 1883 in a charter to allow medical and surgical degrees to be awarded for the first time. During the latter part of the 1800s and early 1900s many new departments were opened and Manchester Royal Infirmary was re-sited on land close to the University. The School's first female medical student, Dr Catherine Chisholm, graduated in 1904.
Postwar expansion
A further grand expansion started in the 1950s under Lord Stopford, and was particularly focused on clinical departments. The new School of Medicine, in the Stopford Building, was opened in 1973 and took in 200 medical, 60 dental, and 20 nursing students. With a further 75 medical students from the University of St Andrews taken into the clinical years, Manchester had become one of the largest medical schools in the world.
New approach to medical education
In 1994, the School was the first in the country to move to a problem-based learning (PBL) approach to medical education. This develops the key skills required by doctors in the 21st century: the abilities to question and interpret information and, above all, to communicate effectively with patients.
The Consultation Skills Learning Centre (CSLC) was officially opened in July 2012 by Professor Dame Nancy Rothwell, The President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Manchester. In 2011, the Medical School reception was refurbished.
The Society is an innovative and progressive institution, firmly established at the forefront of modern-day medicine and a leading player in the advancement of medical research and knowledge.
We occupy a unique position within the medical profession, offering education and recognised qualifications in vital areas of medical practice that are not provided elsewhere. It is the examining body for eight different Diplomas:
• Diploma in Medical Jurisprudence (for forensic pathologists)
• Diploma in Forensic Medical Sciences
• Diploma in the Forensic and Clinical Aspects of Sexual Assault
• Diploma in Genitourinary Medicine
• Diploma in HIV Medicine
• Diploma in the Medical Care of Catastrophes (also examined in the USA and the Netherlands)
• Diploma in the History of Medicine
• Diploma in the Philosophy of Medicine
Our extensive archives are an important international research resource for doctoral, postgraduate and undergraduate students.
The Society has two Faculties:
• History and Philosophy of Medicine and Pharmacy
• Conflict and Catastrophe Medicine
Between them, they run an active programme of lectures and courses for members, Fellows and members of the public.
Charitable activities
We support a student from every medical school and some schools of pharmacy. We also support a student at the Guildhall School of Music and offer prizes at the London medical schools, Christ's Hospital School and the City of London Academy, Southwark.
Other minor grants are given to City of London, medical and children's charities.
Supporting the Lord Mayor and City of London
The Society's Liverymen form part of the franchise for the election of the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs and the Society supports the activities of the Lord Mayor and Corporation.
We also have affiliated links with HMS SOMERSET, 256 (City of London) Field Hospital RAMC(V), the Middlesex and North West London ACF, 201 RAMC (Harrow) detachment ACF, and 4626 (County of Wiltshire) Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron RAuxAF.
The Society frequently lets its Hall to other City of London Livery Companies, legal organisations, the City of London police, City institutions, charities, and commercial organisations.
Aims of the School
To educate individuals who:
-Are honest, caring, knowledgeable and competent and equipped to maintain good medical practice
-Show respect for their patients at all times
-Are knowledgeable about the scientific basis of medicine, including its most recent developments
-Have excellent communication skills for use in the health care of diverse populations
-Understand the importance of physical, psychological and social aspects of patient care
-Possess a sound appreciation of ethical, legal and community issues

The Faculty of Medicine of the University SAAD Dahlab Blida was reinforced by the arrival of 114 faculty belonging to the body of Teachers (4) Masters Conference Class A and B (17) and Masters -assistants (93), from the competitions during the academic year 2010-2012.
It is necessary to note the satisfaction of the university community who sees her body enriched by these promotions both internal and external to our Faculty of Medicine.
These promotions are illustrated with their peers, self-denial, hard work and the respect of their masters with conviction and fervor to provide the scientific community with experience his knowledge but also to provide medical education quality our students and graduation as well as residents.
The next step requires to undertake the expansion specialties that will enrich our faculty and meet the national training plan Medical Sciences, working to strengthen the programs of studies in Pharmacy and Dentistry with the new perspective of teacher training Diploma of Doctor in both training profiles and ultimately the success of the contest access to residency in 2012.
We wish every success to the new faculty in their professional and personal careers.
Our medicine and hence our dear country will qu'honorés.

The Medical University of Graz is committed to fulfill the mission of the University Act 2002 in relation to the development of a quality management system for quality and performance assurance in all sectors, especially for the power range "study, teaching and training" in a comprehensive way.
For us, a quality defined in this area not only through concerted activities for the achievement of quality in teaching and learning. It is essential that these are not isolated to see and evaluate, but interact.
This means that measures that are agreed to optimizing teaching not recognize certain points, but affect a variety of processes – and thus a large number of people – have. Therefore transparent processes are the basis for purposeful change.
Main processes in the core process "Study and teaching"
The Medical University of Innsbruck stands for outstanding performance in the fields of science, research, teaching and patient care. Together with the university hospital, it is our vision to be the leading centre of medicine in Western Austria.
We employ highly qualified teachers to provide our students with the best possible training. The research results of scientists at the Medical University of Innsbruck are published to international acclaim.

It was just your usual banquet for the Blue Springs High School Golden Regiment Band this past Sunday: Eating dinner with family and fellow bandmates while reflecting on yet another great year. But when Blue Springs High School band director Tim Allshouse was handing out individual awards, a Skype ringtone interrupted the presentation.
Allshouse curiously clicked the accept button on his laptop and a man appeared on a projection screen in the Courtyard by Marriott banquet hall to announce that the Blue Springs High School band program had won the highest award a marching band can receive: The Sudler Shield Award.
Ear-deafening screams and cheers followed.
The Blue Springs High School Golden Regiment was the 2013 recipient of the Sudler Shield Award, an international award from the John Phillip Sousa Foundation that recognizes high school, youth and international marching bands of world class excellence. Blue Springs High School is the first school in Missouri to receive the honor.
�We (Golden Regiment) are very humbled and in a state of shock right now,� said Allshouse. �Never in our wildest imagination did we think we�d be selected as one of the recipients.�
The Shield Award was created in the 1980s by the Sousa Foundation to acknowledge marching bands across the globe that exhibit excellence in musical performance, marching execution and show design, says Dr. W. Dale Warren, Chairman of The Sudler Shield Award Committee and member of the John Phillip Sousa Foundation Board of Directors.
�But we don�t award a flash in the pan marching band or one who has just performed exceptionally well one year,� Warren said. �The band has to be good over a period.�
Warren said the Shield Award is based on a marching band�s legacy where it has to demonstrate growth and development over a number of years, plus the program�s director has to be at the school or organization a minimum of six years as well. He also said the United States is generally represented the most because so many good marching bands are in the country.
�They look for consistency year after year as well as the overall product,� said Allshouse. �Precision, marching, musicianship, entertainment factor, national event participation and other awards over a five to six year period.�
And with Allshouse being part of the Blue Springs High School band program since 1996, along with Golden Regiment participating in the 2009 Presidential Inaugural Parade, 2005 and 2010 Macy�s Thanksgiving Parades as well as performing in past Rose Bowl parades, it was obvious why it would be considered for the Sudler Shield Award.
Any marching band can be nominated, said Warren. A band either submits a letter or email explaining why they would like to be considered for the award, along with a DVD of them performing and a portfolio detailing their legacy of the past three years. A 15-member Sudler Shield jury that is comprised of both university band directors and former Sudler Shield Award winners evaluate the band�s performances on the DVD. However, the catch is that jury members receive unmarked DVDs with no background information on the band they are about to evaluate, said Warren.
But how Golden Regiment became a nominee is a slightly different story.
Being a judicator himself, Warren nominated GR on his own discretion; something that is allowed by the Sudler Shield jury.
�Their show was spectacular,� he said about GR�s original show production called �I�m Not Wendy,� influenced by the �Peter Pan� story. �It may be my favorite high school marching band show ever. So clever, so well-designed. Nothing about the show was at fault. The students performed at an extremely high level of excellence.�
In response to Warren�s nomination, GR submitted their portfolio and DVD for the other judges.
�Everyone in the jury scores each band,� said Warren. �The elimination process is very much like the Olympics.�
The number of bands competing varies each year. Depending on the number of submissions and quality they exhibit, the number of winners � where any group around the world is eligible � ranges from zero to four. Instances where the Sudler Shield Award is not given out are based on too few of entries that relatively scored the same low amount of points.
�But this year we had too many good entries,� adds Warren. �The coolest part is we take the vote and tally it. Those who advance is when we pass their portfolio for evaluation.�
Warren says the 2013 winners were decided at The Midwest Clinic, a marching band conference held in Chicago in December. �Scoring was so tight from the bands.� There were four recipients of the 2013 Sudler Shield Award: Kanagawa Prefecture Shonandai High School Band of Fujisawa-Shi, Kanagawa, Japan; Calgary Stampede Showband of Calgary, Alberta, Canada; James Bowie High School Band from Austin, Texas, and the Golden Regiment.
�Blue Springs deserved it,� said Warren. �The Golden Regiment are exemplary musical ambassadors for their school, community, state, country... and now internationally!�
Although Warren contacted Allshouse about winning a week before their annual banquet, he thought it would be best to keep it secret until then.
�I think the entire State of Missouri heard the screams and cheers coming from the banquet,� recalls Allshouse. �It was an incredible moment in time where I don�t believe any of us will ever forget.�
He said the honor wouldn�t be possible without help and support of the entire Blue Springs community.
�It is really a concert of hard working and committed students, an incredibly talent and dedicated staff such as Assistant Director Clif Walker and staff member Lisa Evans, the literally hundreds of parent volunteers who work day-in and day-out to allow the directors to focus on teaching, the supportive administration and the entire Blue Springs community who always been enthusiastically supportive of our desire to go beyond the walls of Missouri.�
Golden Regiment members cite teamwork for their success.
�An important part of the Golden Regiment culture is understanding that what we can do when we come together as a group,� says Senior Brandon Walls, who is the GR Woodwind Captain and saxophone player. �It is a great life lesson about learning how to give up a little of yourself for the good of the group, and ultimately achieving more than you ever thought you could do with friends.�
�You don�t see us ever without another band kid,� says senior Grace Englehart, who plays bass clarinet, �because our strengths are only as good as our weakenesses.�
The record-breaking doesn�t stop for Golden Regiment. This Thursday, Golden Regiment�s Wind Symphony, the elite group of players, will perform at the Missouri Music Educators Association Conference for the sixth consecutive time � never done before by any high school in the state. Plus GR has been selected as one of six marching bands outside the state of California to perform at the 2015 Tournament of Roses parade.
Warren will be attending the Blue Springs High School spring concert on May 6 to present the Sudler Shield Award on behalf of the John Philip Sousa Foundation.
The Blue Springs community always considered the Golden Regiment a world class act, but now it�s official.

Limited Availavility - FINAL SALE
Our Terra Nova tile collection as its name implies "New Earth" is a new and improved line of handcrafted tile now available exclusively at Tierra y Fuego. It all began with changing and improving the basic composition of the clay, glaze, and firing, which are the basic elements of ceramic tile, and are traceable to their structure and composition. The Terra Nova tile can be used in a wider range of uses, compared to Talavera tile, fulfilling technical needs for applications of greater stress, and at the same time satisfying the taste and aesthetic requirements of our customers.
Compared to our Traditional Talavera tiles the Terra Nova Tiles have greater hardness and mechanical strength, due in part to new mixtures of various raw materials that can be fired at higher temperatures. The proper mixture of raw materials is important because it provides the plasticity and rigidity needed for the tiles to be handled and moved without falling apart. Another important improvement has been in the formulation of glazes. The glaze is the thin layer of glossy material on the body of the tile or (bisque), which provides aesthetic and technical properties, such as color, design, impermeability and hardness. Finally, firing of the tiles at higher temperatures produces a tile with stronger body, better resistance to stains and lower porosity.
Terra Nova Tiles are made using the Maiolica ceramic technique, by applying a tin-glaze layer on a terracotta tile, then the tile is decorated over the glazed surface with other color glazes, and lastly it is fired in a kiln until it reaches the desired finish. The name Maiolica is thought to come from the medieval Italian word for Majorca, an island in the Mediterranean on the route followed by ships bringing Hispano-Moresque wares from Valencia to Italy. Moorish potters from Majorca are reputed to have worked in Sicily and it has been suggested that their wares reached the Italian mainland from Caltagirone, a town in the island of Sicily.
Tierra y Fuego exclusive Terra Nova tile collection delivers the stunning design and esthetic solutions of authentic, old-world handcrafted decorative tiles, and at the same time meets technical requirements for applications of greater stress. Order your samples today and experience for yourself the high quality and uniqueness of our Terra Nova Tiles.
We have taken our handcrafted ceramic tile to a new level of quality and durability. Our research and development team of designers and ceramists have given birth to this new collection of tile. This collection serves as an alternative choice to traditional talavera tiles offering more designs and colors as well as a higher standard of quality.
Terra Nova tiles are available in either an antique white or pure white background. You can request a design to be made on either background if the design is not stocked in the background you specify.
Although Tierra y Fuego maintains high standards of quality control lot variation in size and color may be present from shipment to shipment. There is no guarantee that tiles ordered as add-ons will match those from original orders. This is an intrinsic characteristic in all ceramic tiles, and particularly in handcrafted tiles.
|Due to handmade nature, tiles may vary by up to 1/4 in. Sizes are nominal, meaning that sizes vary from the actual.
|Color, Size and Design Variation
|Slight variations are expected for all Terra Nova ceramic tiles. For instance, size, color and design are all likely to vary due to the hand made process. PLEASE NOTE: shades of color are seen differently on computer monitors and therefore customers should request a sample before making a final selection or purchase. Lot variation in size and color may be present from shipment to shipment. There is no guarantee that tiles ordered as add-ons will match those from the original orders.
|Creamy Off White.
|Tiles per Square Foot
** The following is an estimate number of tiles you will need per square foot. The amount of tiles needed per square foot varies according to tile size and shape. This is a courtesy estimate and we recommend to double check measurements and tile quantities with your tile expert installer as you may need additional pieces to account for cuts and breakage.
|Red body bisque. May be slightly concave or not perfectly flat, but overall the Terra Nova ceramic tiles are consistently flat.
|Tile Thickness
|All our standard Terra Nova ceramic tiles have a 3/8 in. thickness. Larger and smaller tiles may vary in thickness accordingly.
|Suitable for all interiors of residential and commercial wall applications. Light-use flooring as accents or as a border to define an area. Avoid high moist areas in all matte tiles. If used in moist areas, apply a penetrating sealer which forms an invisible barrier that is resistant to moisture and stains while allowing vapor to escape. Outdoor use is temperate climate only. Terra Nova ceramic tiles are NOT frost proof.
|Recommended Grout Type and Width
|1/4 in. grout line suggested. Use sanded grout when doing grout lines of 1/4 in. or more; and non-sanded grout when less than 1/4 in. We recommend to seal tile before grouting and to seal grout after installation. For further advice, contact your professional tile installer.
|Installation Recommendations
|Lay out material prior to installation to properly blend and balance color. Due to size variation, we recommend to shuffle thru several boxes before installation. The application of a penetrating sealer is recommended in accordance with the sealer manufacturer's instructions to further enhance the durability of the tile. Note: Always perform a sample test on an inconspicuous area, before applying the sealer on an entire tiled surface.
|Care Recommendations
|Clean with mild cleanser and damp cloth, do not use abrasive cleaners.

"But Activision really wanted it, the compromise sort of being that we'd get some dev kits for consoles in exchange for doing a World War 2 game," he said. "We always wanted to be on consoles and Activision saw us as more of a PC developer."
"And something I'll add to that, Activision also did not want Modern Warfare. They thought working on a modern game was risky and [thought], 'oh my god you can't do that, it's crazy!' They were doing market research to show us we were wrong the whole time."
"We had to fight for everything," added Infinity Ward's Jason West. "They wanted it to be World War 2. Again."

Brunch Week: Mom's Morning Casserole
The Menu: The super-extra tasty Mom's Morning Casserole from Vegan Brunch! Um, holy heck. This triple-layer treat was made of roasted potatoes, seasoned tofu and tempeh, and melted non-dairy cheese. And, according to our breath right now, about 50 cloves of garlic, about which we are all very, very happy. This savory standout was an awesomely hearty midday meal, and was perfectly complemented by a fresh salad with grated beets.
The Goods: Wow! Judging from yesterday's comments, you're all eager for the chance to win a signed copy of this awesome book! Sadly, there can be only one winner per day. Congratulations to bluebue, whose multi-course ideas caught our attention. Bluebue, send us an email with your name and mailing address, and we'll send your book right out!

My brother, who I love to bits, but just doesn't 'get' the vege lifestyle, my former manager, who was the first person to actually encourage my vegan tendencies, and my mother-in-law, who is an amazing cook herself, and is always super-accommodating of my diet...
so that I could a) convert, b) share and c) thank them with vegan brunch goodies, all at the same time!

1. Laura Beck, the most amazing, awesome, fabulous person, EVER.

Oooh, a garlicky-cheezy casserole with tofu and tempeh? I'd make enough to share that with at least 100 hungry veg*ns, preferably at some epic VegWeb potluck. ;)
...but if I had to choose only three people with which to share this deliciousness at brunch, I could narrow it down to:
Bryanna Clark Grogan
Anna, my lovely vegan "sister" from New Zealand
and Woody Harrelson
...I suspect such a brunch crowd would have plenty of great conversation to share, and the food and drinks would be excellent.

I'd invite a friend who was an amazing cook and we'd make a scrumptious meal for vegan-distainer Anthony Bourdain and Lynne Rossetto Kasper from NPR's The Splendid Table. I'd like Bourdain to have a rich, flavorful vegan meal and inspire Rossetto Kasper to broadcast more about vegan dishes.

Used to like having brunch with my grandmothers before they died; it was always a "can't believe there's no meat in this experience."
Among the living, how about President Obama and VP Biden? Food this good would help them see how tasty the vegan lifestyle can be. And maybe next time they choose to drop in on a local DC eatery for lunch/brunch, they'll GO VEG!

Third person, in addition to President BO, and VP JB, I'd invite Dr. Neal Barnard from PCRM; he'd help answer their questions on the health benefits of the plant based diet, and how this should be a cornerstone of America;s health care policy.

3) Edith Piaf (to 'parle français' and sing and gorge ourselves on delicious vegan breakfast goodies...which would likely consist of cupcakes and hot tea.)

Fav people to have brunch with - I like brunch with strangers, actually. Usually, it leads to refreshing conversation, and good company. If no strangers are available (by strangers I mean whom ever passed out on my couch the night before that I didn't get a chance to talk to that night), I'll take my best friends Pat, Jamie, and Michael, who are all always amazing.

My cousin, because we both love brunch & laugh a lot together, my friend PRW2 because he loves food. He enjoys every bite of a good meal and introduces me to new things and my friend Rox who also loves brunch and always has a great story.

Let the planets align!

Bicycle frames are constructed from materials which place emphasis on being strong, lightweight and stiff to aid power transfer. Aluminium, titanium, steel and carbon are widely used in all levels of frame production.
Cycling forks are made from a wide range of materials such as aluminium, steel, carbon and titanium. Each material has its own unique set of qualities that can greatly impact ride performance.
Bicycle wheels come in a wide range of sizes from 12" wheels found on smaller Kids Bikes to larger 29" Mountain Bike and 700c Road Bike wheels. Larger wheels are normally faster and more stable at speed and their larger contact patch improves grip too. Smaller wheels are normally lighter, more manoeuvrable and have quicker acceleration.
Wheel sizes are defined by the country that first popularised the style of bike that used them - so you'll see some imperial and some metric measurements listed. Wiggle includes the ISO standard in brackets after each for ease of comparison.

Huskers Go 1-1 at Big Ten Match Play
Bradenton, Fla. - The Nebraska men's golf team lost its opening match to Purdue at the Big Ten Match Play but responded in the afternoon with a victory over Wisconsin on Friday at The Concession Golf Club.
The Huskers, who are the 11-seed, lost to sixth-seeded Purdue in the first round, 3-2-0. In the opening match, freshman Kolton Lapa never led in a 5&4 loss to the Boilermakers' Adam Schenk. Nebraska, however, responded in the second and third matches with victories over Purdue.
Sophomore Ross Dickson won the first hole of his match and never looked back in a 3&2 victory over Justin Cho. Junior Matt Record added a 6&4 win over Jonathan Dilanni to give Nebraska a 2-1 lead. Record won the opening hole, No. 10 at The Concession, and was tied with Dilanni after No. 12 before winning four of the next five holes.
Purdue's David Cooke faced off with NU's Kevin Gillick in a back and forth match before Cooke emerged with a 3&2 win. The match was all square thru seven holes before Cooke parred the 17th to take a 1 Up lead. Cooke never looked back, winning Holes 2 and 5.
Sophomore Cameron Palmer, making his first start for Nebraska, fell 4&2 to Jakob Ziegler. After tying the first three holes, Palmer took a brief 1 Up lead before Ziegler's back-to-back birdies on the 14th and 15th holes.
The Huskers moved to the consolation bracket to face Wisconsin in the afternoon matches. Nebraska emerged with a victory following a 2-2-1 tie.
Lapa led off for Nebraska and halved his match against the Badgers' Chris Meyer. Lapa was 2 Up after three but Meyer won the next two holes and battled through a back-and-forth second nine en route to a tie.
Dickson didn't fare as well as he did in the morning in a 2 Up afternoon loss to Thomas O'Bryan. Dickson lost the first hole but took a 1 Up lead into the second nine before dropping the last two holes.
Record added his second victory of the day in a 4&2 defeat of Tom Welk. Record took a 4 Up lead thru five holes and never looked back. Gillick added a 5&4 win over Matt Ross in the next match. The pair was tied in the early going but Gillick won Nos. 8-10 to take a 4 Up lead before cruising to victory.
Palmer battled John Gullberg in a close match but ultimately lost 1 Up. Palmer led after seven holes but Gulberg won the eighth and never trailed again.
The Huskers face Minnesota on Saturday. Live scoring for the match is available at http://www.ajga.org/big10mpc/.

Filling the Vortex
Chris Paul (kneecap) did not play again last night and though reports have said the injury isn't serious, the stock of Eric Bledsoe should be given a bit more credit than just simple 'spot-starter.' Bledsoe is already a late round value guy on a standalone basis for the season, and he could squeeze an extra week or so of starter status if for whatever reason the Clippers are underreporting Paul's injury. I'm not saying they are, but it's illustrative of some extra upside for Bledsoe that those in competitive situations may want to reach for. The backup PG scored a season-high 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting (including a three) with seven rebounds, five assists, and two steals, as he and his teammates picked up Paul's slack.
Jamal Crawford scored a season-high 30 points with five treys, Willie Green scored a season-high 15 points, and Blake Griffin added 19 points, four rebounds, eight assists, one steal, and one block. Matt Barnes scored an empty 18 points with three rebounds, one assist, and one steal, though he did hit three treys to make it an alright night in the win.
Sputtering Rockets
Jeremy Lin's ankle didn't appear to bother him as he scored 12 points on 5-of-11 shooting with 10 assists, but on an inefficient night for James Harden (23 points, 8-of-20 FGs, 2-of-9 3PTs, five turnovers) there wasn't enough extra firepower to keep up with the Clippers. Omer Asik (seven points, nine rebounds) is a punt-only guy, and Patrick Patterson (five points, 16 minutes) isn't worth owning in standard formats right now. Marcus Morris scored 12 points with eight rebounds and three treys and is the player to own right now between the two, though that could change nightly at this time.
From the Depths of the Sea
The Blazers should always struggle against a team with any sort of depth, because they themselves have none, and eventually they gave way to the Nuggets in overtime last night. Wesley Matthews scored 14 points with two threes and a nice line, Damian Lillard hit just 6-of-15 shots but finished with 16 points, eight rebounds, five assists, one steal, two blocks, and three treys, and J.J. Hickson went for 19 and 13 with two blocks and a 7-of-8 shooting line (5-of-5 FTs). Nicolas Batum scored 22 points with seven rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and two threes, and LaMarcus Aldridge scored 28 points with eight rebounds, six assists, and one block. Aldridge has turned it on and avoided any immediate issue with his shooting wrist, and the rest of the team is more or less who we thought they were over the past few weeks.
Ty Lawson (24 points, 10-of-19 FGs, 12 assists) and Andre Iguodala (nine points, 4-of-16 FGs, four assists) continue to trade off good games, Kosta Koufos (eight points, five boards) struggled again, Danilo Gallinari got hot with 25 points on 8-of-14 shooting and a solid line, and Kenneth Faried went off for 21 and 11 with two steals and a block. Wilson Chandler has made his way back onto the radar with a tie-breaking three in overtime late, finishing with 13 points on 5-of-13 shooting, two threes, six rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 18 minutes. He needs a bigger workload before we'll remove our skepticism, and he also has plenty of injury risk. He's a deep league speculative play until he can prove himself.
Buck Shots
The Bucks ran into a hungry Lakers team and no player accentuated that more than Brandon Jennings (12 points, 4-of-14 FGs, one assist), who was shut down by Kobe Bryant's voracious defense. Monta Ellis got his with 17 points on 6-of-16 shooting, six rebounds, four assists, and two threes, Larry Sanders was his typical awesome self with six points, 11 boards, one steal, and three blocks, and Ersan Ilyasova was a quiet but serviceable six-point, seven-rebound, one-steal, one-block shell of his former self. I'd be more inclined to dig into Ilyasova for tonight if the whole team didn't suck. He's starting and a much more consistent fantasy play, which I can live with. Will he be worth all of the trouble at the end of the day? He'll need to pick it up quickly and start tapping into that upside, fast.
Beno Udrih has earned more minutes lately and put up 14 points with seven assists in 26 minutes off the bench last night, but while his five-game average of 10.8 points and 4.6 assists per game looks alright it's probably his ceiling without an injury in front of him.
Defense Leads to Everything
The Lakers got a much needed win to keep the natives from getting too restless, keyed off of Kobe Bryant's (31 points, 12-of-19 FGs, six assists) defense and a 31 and 16 night with four blocks out of Dwight Howard. Metta World Peace scored 12 points with six rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and two threes, Steve Nash went for eight and 11, and Earl Clark (six points, nine boards, four assists, one block) made another start. Pau Gasol (concussion) is going for tests with a neurologist today and they'll be looking for his baselines to be in the right spot and if they're not his status for Thursday's game will obviously be in doubt.
News and Notes
Iman Shumpert (knee) could start in London on Thursday. It's fair not to like his value given the eventual logjam at the guard slots, and also the serious injury he's returning from, but if he progresses well in his rehab he could be looking at a decent role. It's something to watch closely and be ready to move on.
Glen Davis' minutes could rise rapidly as he returns to action according to Jacque Vaughn.
The Sacramento Bee surmised that Aaron Brooks might have a hard time finding minutes with Isaiah Thomas playing well. This is my shocked face.
Jared Dudley (right shooting wrist) practiced in full on Tuesday and is expected to play on Thursday, and like all shooting wrist injuries we should be watching him very closely. He should be owned in all formats after a pretty solid month or so.
Larry Drew promised to make more changes to the lineup after Monday's embarrassing loss, but we've yet to see anything other than minor tinkering from him this year. And he says this every other week or so, too.
Rodney Stuckey (teeth) is expected to play on Thursday in London so use him as you normally would.
Stephen Curry (hyper-extended knee) did not practice yesterday but is expected to play tonight. Plan on using him tonight and hope that he didn't take on any long-term issues in what looked to be a painful tweak.
Kevin Love (hand) underwent surgery and will be out 8-10 weeks and as we've discussed here already owners in playoff leagues have more of a reason to stash than anybody, while the rest need to do a cost/benefit analysis of their league's format and decide if holding the roster spot is worth the squeeze.
Six-game nights seem so quiet these days and the past couple of nights of basketball have not been scorching the nets so to speak. There were still plenty of tweaks to player values, though, so without further ado let's check it out.
Click here to get real-time fantasy news and information on Twitter.
The Hornets were the latest team to go into Philly and leave with a win, as they got strong outings from Greivis Vasquez (23 points, nine assists, three treys, six turnovers) and Eric Gordon (19 points, 7-of-13 FGs, two threes, four assists). Al-Farouq Aminu was quiet with five points, eight rebounds, and no steals or blocks in 23 minutes, showing his stripes as a shaky guy in terms of minutes. Still, though, he had been playing well enough to be owned and owners should probably wait and see if he can get back on track.
Anthony Davis scored 10 points with seven rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in just 21 minutes, and one has to think this is still buy low territory for a guy that could go nuts if and when he is given big minutes. I'll keep my ear to the ground about any trouble with the ankle, as injury reporting in New Orleans has been shaky in the past.
Andrew Bynum (knees) talked about returning around the All Star break, and while he's still not doing much of anything physically this qualifies as a decent update. To that end, as long as he's not filming an action movie with Tom Arnold it's a decent update these days. As for the game last night, it was another mess for the Sixers but it was a bonanza if you own Jrue Holiday, who put up 29 points with five rebounds, 11 assists, four steals, and four threes.
Jason Richardson was very disappointing with just five points, three rebounds, two assists, and a three in just under 20 minutes, but he had a nice game on Saturday so it's not out of the question to hold him for another game in a standard league. Dorell Wright scored seven points on 2-of-6 shooting with six rebounds and six assists in 26 minutes off the bench, and he's worth keeping an eye on but on the whole this is a situation to avoid in general, obviously.
Easy Pickens
The Pacers walloped the Bobcats and fielded a fairly standard box score last night, with George Hill scoring 16 points with seven rebounds, four assists, and two threes, David West going for 15 and eight, Roy Hibbert scoring a welcoming 18 points with seven rebounds and four blocks, and Paul George being his normal productive self with 16 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two triples of his own. In particularly for Hibbert, they're not going to get the Bobcats every night so there's not too much to glean from this outcome.
The Five-Guard Lineup
It's sad to say, but the Bobcats really need Byron Mullens back. Mullens (ankle) has been cleared to do zero-gravity running and that sounds to me like he's a few weeks off, still. Tyrus Thomas (three minutes) and Hakim Warrick (14 minutes) have been mediocre at best and awful at worst, and while we could sit here and pick apart Mullens' game on a lot of levels he at least gives them a chance to win. This leaves the five-guard rotation playing way more minutes collectively than anybody would normally want them to, but it's the only thing the Cats have right now to keep things competitive. Unfortunately, a five-guard rotation between 2-3 slots every night is not what anybody wants in a fantasy league and it's hurting them all.
Kemba Walker (13 points, one assist) is struggling in the assists department lately (3.4 asts/gm last five), and Gerald Henderson (15 points, 3-of-10 FGs, one three, three assists) is the only player truly worth owning in a standard format. Ben Gordon (seven points, 14 minutes) is much too inconsistent to rely on, Jeff Taylor (five points, 20 minutes) isn't producing enough to be considered, and Ramon Sessions (13 points, one assist, 28 minutes) has enough holes in his fantasy game to require large-scale production to justify ownership in standard or moderately deep formats. Walker injured his ankle during the first half of the game and returned in the second half, but without a game until Friday we're guessing he'll be okay.
Lowry's Lament
The point guard position in Toronto was full of craziness as both Jose Calderon (hip) and Kyle Lowry (ankle) are in the post-game injury report, but both managed to finish last night's game and Lowry's situation in particular was peculiar. Lowry left the game early on and was ruled out for the second half, only to come back in the fourth quarter and lead a massive charge. He finished with 21 points on 5-of-7 shooting (including four threes) with one rebound and two assist in just 15 minutes of action, and he's more than questionable for tonight's contest.
Calderon (15 points, five assists, three treys, 29 minutes) is a much better bet to play but is also questionable, and in general the Lowry situation didn't get any clearer. He's not happy with his role and the best way to sum things up is that neither the player nor the situation is stable. There is also injury risk to go with all that upside. I think it's best to treat him like an late-early round, early-mid round guy depending on how you feel.
Amir Johnson played through his dual ankle injuries and scored 15 points on 6-of-7 shooting with six rebounds, one steal, and one block in another solid night. Alan Anderson left the game due to some dental work and did not return, scoring two points in nine minutes. Don't use tonight's game in your evaluations, no matter how painful the result was if he was in your active lineup. Terrence Ross had nine rebounds to go with four points on 2-of-9 shooting in 23 minutes. It's an interesting number on the glass, but as usual we need to see more before getting too excited for the eventual upside play. Landry Fields scored eight points with 11 rebounds and five assists in 40 minutes, and with his current workload I can't see passing him up in a standard 12-14 team league unless I'm stacked.
Little Resistance
The Nets are 9-1 since P.J. Carlesimo took over but in fairness it has been a pretty easy schedule. Still, it has allowed Deron Williams (21 points, seven assists, 6-of-13 FGs) and Joe Johnson (21 points, five rebounds, five assists, two steals, two threes) to get back on track. I've chronicled the holes in Johnson's fantasy game a whole bunch, so yes, I still consider this sell-high territory for him.
Gerald Wallace (ribs) did not play and that cleared up a few minutes, but none of the power forward crew was able to take advantage last night. Reggie Evans (seven rebounds), Kris Humphries (five minutes), and Andray Blatche (14 points, two rebounds) are players to avoid in standard formats, though Blatche could theoretically have upside assuming his off the court issues don't preclude him from any chance at it.

The Olga and Dorothea Dessin Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has again teamed up with the Eastern Pennsylvania Animal Alliance (EPAA) to combat cat over-population.
Dessin will offer 40 feline spay and neuter surgeries for $30 each, through EPAA's surgical van on Tuesday, May 28 at Dessin Animal Shelter, 138 Miller Dr., Honesdale. The event, titled "Avoid a CATastrophe! 4," is also made possible in part by a grant through the John and Helen Villaume Foundation.
Certificates, for the nonprofit EPAA van, and this community service, MUST BE OBTAINED IN ADVANCE at Dessin Animal Shelter, during business hours, beginning 11 a.m., Saturday, May 4. They are available, first come – first serve, and are limited to two, per household, and to Wayne County residents only. Proper proof of residency is required. For shelter hours, visit
www.DessinShelter.comor call 253-4037.As part of its humane education spay/neuter community program, the society will continue to sell ten low-cost spay/neuter cat vouchers, at $10 each, and 25 low-cost spay/neuter dog vouchers, at $50 each, available, at the shelter, first come- first serve, on the first day of each month.
Dessin vouchers may be redeemed for reduced-cost spay or neuter surgeries at eight local veterinarian offices. For full details on Dessin vouchers and a list of participating veterinarians, visit
www.DessinShelter.comand click on "services."In the United States, it is estimated that nearly 8 million homeless animals enter animal shelters, each year. According to the Humane Society of the United States, feral and stray cats are the most significant source of overpopulation.
"Spaying and neutering helps reduce the number of strays and unwanted animals in our community. Stray and feral cats get into garbage, damage property, carry disease and can even cause auto accidents. On average, a non-spayed, fertile cat will produce two litters in one year. In seven years, her offspring can produce 420,000 cats!" says executive director Dara Coslett Granza. Questions about the event should be directed to Dessin Animal Shelter at 253-4037.

Below are some additional, more specific examples of how we use personal information:
Except as described in this Policy, our business practice is to not disclose personal information about you outside of Full Tilt Boots and its affiliates without your consent. We disclose personal information as follows:
We use "cookies" or other tracking mechanisms to help support the integrity of registration and buying processes on our site, to retain changes that you made (e.g., if you personalize a page), and to learn about your possible interest so that we can try to personalize marketing. A "cookie" is a small data file that our site transfers to your computer for storage to allow our server to "remember" specific personal information. We also use cookies or similar information for typical business purposes such as to administer the site, to track and analyze visitor traffic so that we can adjust the site, and to advertise and promote our products and services. The cookies or other tracking mechanisms collect at least the following: your domain name and host for Internet access; the Internet address of the site from which you came; the date and time of your access; and your computer's IP address and information about its operating system and browser. These technologies help us to combat fraud or misuse and to remember things like: (1) the profile facts you tell us about yourself, (2) your specified areas of interest on our sites, (3) the items you've placed in your shopping basket, and (4) the pages you visit as you shop. In our emails we use "pixel tags" to determine if your email software or service can display html-formatted email (this helps us optimize the size of our messages and conserve bandwidth). You can disable some cookies, but the site won't necessarily function as designed (e.g., cookies must be enabled to register or make purchases).
We also allow collection by analytic service provider(s) of site click-stream and cookie data to help us track aggregate and individual use of our site and determine possible interests of users (e.g., if you read a site article about tents, during a subsequent visit we might present you with an article about maintaining tents).
Some advertisers might use their cookies on our site or in their messages to you. If you click on an advertisement, a cookie might be placed on your computer. To find out how these kinds of companies tend to collect and use information or to take advantage of any opt-out opportunities they provide, visit their sites to see their privacy policies. We do not control these companies, and their practices and policies may change over time.It is our hope that you find the display of advertising to you based on your non-personally identifying browsing interests valuable; however, if you would prefer not to participate in the services offered through these solutions, you can always opt-out of this activity by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) website at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.

Accordingly, we will determine what may be accessed and how; we may also keep a record of changes (including deletions) and disclose them for lawful purposes. We keep personal information for as long as we think is necessary or advisable and we reserve the right to retain it to the full extent not prohibited by law. We may discard personal information in our discretion so you should retain your own records. Often it is not feasible or advisable to discard personal information (such as commingled personal information), so we reserve the right to retain it but treat it as inactive or discarded. You may make a request for us to update personal information (that is eligible for updating) by contacting our Customer Service department via email, telephone, or mail (see http://fulltiltboots.com/contact for specific addresses and numbers); typically it takes us about two days to process an update request and we reserve the right to take longer.
Full Tilt Boots takes physical, electronic, and procedural measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure while it is under our control. Even so, security breaches and mistakes can and do happen and we do not guarantee the security of personal information. Except for financial transmissions, you should assume the site is not encrypted. Email communications and online chat are not encrypted, so do not include sensitive personal information in them. "Phishing," imposters, and fake websites are a fact of modern life.
At any time, if you believe personal information about you within our control has been accessed by unauthorized persons, please contact us. An important part of ensuring the security of personal information is your own effort to protect it against unauthorized access or use.

Red Sox - 000 002 006 - 8 11 0If the Red Sox get hot and finally start playing the way we know they can and go deep into October, we should look back on this game -- and, specifically, the ninth inning -- as a catalyst.
Rangers - 200 001 100 - 4 9 0
Down by two runs and facing Frank Francisco in the top of the ninth, David Ortiz got things started. Flo was batting in the #7 spot for the first time since May 2003. He had walked his first two times up, then drilled a two-run homer to right-center to tie the game at 2-2 in the sixth. Tiz looked at a ball from Francisco, then lined a double into the right field corner.
Jason Varitek, after getting ahead 3-0, grounded a full-count pitch to second. Omar Vizquel went to his right and attempted an off-balance throw. It was low and Tek beat it out, with Ortiz taking third. Jacoby Ellsbury singled up the middle, scoring Ortiz. Boston trailed 4-3.
Chris Woodward, who had taken over at shortstop in the seventh, tried two half-assed bunt attempts before striking out. Having failed to advance the runners, Terry Francona put Clay Buchholz in to pinch-run for Varitek. We've heard a few times that Laptop is one of the fastest runners on the team, and now he represented the tying run.
Dustin Pedroia crushed a 1-1 pitch to deep left field. I thought it was gone, but it hit off the wall, beyond David Murphy's leap. Buchholz was between second and third and seemed to have trouble seeing the ball against the different coloured lights of the scoreboard on the wall. He hesitated, then took off once he saw the ball had not been caught. However, that hesitation, and a stumble around third, cost him as he was cut down at the plate. (Happy 25th birthday, Clay.)
With one out to go, Victor Martinez was up with Lyndon at third and FY at second. He feel behind 1-2, fouled off two pitches, then checked his swing for ball 3 (whew!). After another foul, he doubled to right. Both runners scored and Boston led for the first time in the game, 5-4. Jason Bay singled to right and Martinez scored. Four pitches later, J.D. Drew hit a two-run home run to right center and it was 8-4.
Francisco was finally pulled (8 batters, 7 hits, 6 runs) and Jason Jennings came in. He walked Mike Lowell and got Ortiz to pop to third.
Jonathan Papelbon allowed a one-out double to Vizquel, but struck out Michael Young and Marlon Byrd to end the game, giving the Red Sox a 1.5-game lead over Texas in the wild card standings.
Lester (6-6-3-3-11, 117) had a bad first two batters. Vizquel walked and Young cranked a dong, and after only seven pitches, Lester trailed 2-0. But he worked out of his other jams. He got double play grounders in the second and third. After walking the first two Rangers in the fourth, he struck out the next three. In the sixth, after Ortiz had tied the game, Lester allowed a double and a single to give Texas a 3-2 lead. But again, he finished that inning by striking out the side. Lester struck out more than 10 batters for the sixth time this season, the most ever for a Red Sox left-hander.
The Yankees scored two in the top of the ninth to beat Seattle 4-2 and stay 6.5 GA of the Red Sox in the East.
The Red Sox have a slim 0.5-game lead over Texas in the wild card standings. Boston trails the Yankees in the East by 6.5 games. Lester gets the series started tonight, with Brad Penny and Junichi Tazawa following over the weekend.
In the SoSH game thread, they are offering some Shakespeare Mojo:
Infield Infidel
Alas, poor Varitek! I knew him, Martinez: a fellowHowBoutDemSox
of infinite jest, of most excellent captaincy: he hath
borne the Sox on his back a thousand times; and now, how
abhorred in my imagination it is! His bat whiffs at
it. Here hung those curveballs he had hit I know
not how oft. Where be your might now? Your
contact? Your swings? Your flashes of power,
that were wont to set the crowd on a roar? Not one
now, to mock your old Heidi? Quite cap-fallen?
Now get you to Lester's chamber, and tell him paint
the corners an inch thick, to this favour he must
come; make them swing at that.
To score runs, or not to score runs: that is the question:Sprowl
Whether 'tis better in the loss column to suffer
The GIDP and Ks of terrible offense,
Or to take action against some slumping veterans,
And by benching, end them? To sit: to rest;
No more; and by a sit to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That PED-inflated muscle tone is heir to, 'tis a lineup
Devoutly to be wish'd.
Not that I think you did not love the Red Sox;10 PM: Yankees/Mariners.
But that I know love is begun by time;
And that I see, in trade deadline deals,
Time qualifies the spark and fire of it.
There lives within the very flame of trade
A kind of wick or snuff that will abate it;
And no prospect is at a like goodness still;
For pitching, growing to a surfeit,
Dies in its own too much. That we would do
We should do when we would; for this "would" changes
And hath abatements and delays as many
As there are Gonzalez, Halladay, Hernandez
And then this "should" is like a depreciating prospect,
That hurts by failing. But, to the wild card race —
Texas comes back: what would you undertake,
To bring us a competent shortstop in deed
More than in words?

Basketball, wrestling scrimmages are Friday
A scrimmage will be held Friday for residents to have a chance to watch this year's Mexico basketball boys and girls and the boys' wrestling team. Scrimmages will begin at 6 p.m. for wrestling in Gooch Gym and the girls' basketball team on the Gary Filbert Court in the sports complex. The boys' basketball team will follow the girls' scrimmage.
