Yankees - 030 000 10x - 4 14 0
Beckett: "When I was younger, I used to try to pitch like him in the street when we were playing home run derby. My dad worked with his brother in the oil fields, and [Clemens] actually signed a ball for me. I was about 11 or 12. I've got probably a whole binder full of his baseball cards."
Pound that pinata!
Out for the day. Back shortly before the game. See you then.
"I used to try to pitch like him in the street when we were playing home run derby."

back now.
did the globe misspell billy's last name?
Yes, looks like they did. I just copied it directly from the web site. Since then the site has been corrected.
WEEI had Bucky Dent on - asked about the race "The Yankees will close the gap, they always close the gap in September. For 100 years the Yankees always close the gap in September".
hopefully they will have the interview on WEEI's web page later.
Bring the bats boys, its time to knock fat billy out of the game early.
second day in a row the Globe has listed Melky Cabrera as Miguel.
Maybe there's a Melky Cairo playing somewhere tonight...
Espn preview on Beckett - He is 9-1 with a 1.90 ERA in 10 road starts, not allowing more than three runs in any of them and winning his last three.
Of course his last road start he did allow three! He needs to come up big tonight.
For 100 years the Yankees always close the gap in September."
100 years out of 100 years!
Every single year!!!
The Red Sox have never finished ahead of the Yankees. Never. Bucky says so. Obviously, history is not his strongest subject.
And why did WEEI have this nobody on? Trying to get Sox fans to be afraid of the boogeyman? Pathetic.
Since 1901, the Red Sox have finished ahead of the Yankees 31 times.
Not a majority, but it's not 0, either.
I'd like to think whoever was on 'EEI slammed Dent after he said that with some actual FACTS, but I have my doubt that happened.
Besides, it's in October that these Yankees can't win the big one. They look strong for six months, but they always choke on the big stage of October. You can set your watch by it.
Last night's hand-written scorecard didn't go very well. So I'm scrapping it and making a new one. Not sure it'll be done by game time, but we'll see.
Actually one of the hosts asked him about the greatest choke job in the history of baseball!!!! God I love 2004!!!
Manny out tomorrow too. =(
Taste of the NY tabloids.
And tomorrow morning the Yankees will be done.
A taste of Bill Simmons' latest ESPN magazine article about pink hatters:
Of course, it's tough to ignore three-fourths of a crowd in Tampa screaming for "Yooooooooook" as the alleged Boston fan behind me asks, "Why are they booing?" Back in the old days, we used late-season collapses and crushing playoff defeats to weed out these fair-weather knuckleheads. Now they're multiplying like Body Snatcher pods.
how true, how true.
i've been at work all day w/o access to news...what is the latest on manny?
Score early tonight. Get Beckett a lead to work with. This year it seems like Clemens is 50/50. Either on or off. But the Red Sox can grind out at-bats against him.
Not sure how I feel about our lineup, but we've been able to get the job done when it has looked like this.
Manny Ramirez has a strained left oblique muscle (likely aggravated on a swing last night). They say he's day-to-day, but will probably be rested for the rest of the Yankees series.
Some papers say Buchholz will start on Saturday, others say Sexy Lips.
Mirabelli is eligible to come off the disabled list on Saturday.
Also: With a 17.69 ERA in his last three starts, Mike Mussina has been demoted to the pen,
Buchholz start on Saturday? That would be something to look forward to. Of course, the way Jules has been pitching, I wouldn't be surprised if they stick with him.
Ian Browne of MLB.com says it will be Sexy Lips on Saturday. What are we going to a six man rotation?
I wasn't aware that the division was clinched.
Sounds like Manny needs to use some "oblique strategies".
I was born in Wisconsin, but moved to Mass when I was 4. For a long time the Brewers were my favorite team (with the Sox close behind). I remember many a call of "Coooooooop" for Cecil Cooper. [just looked him up and saw he's now the Astros coach; I wish him luck.]
Last night I went into Boston to see Spectrum at the Middle East. Listened to the first 1/2 of the game on the radio on the way in and watched the last couple of innings over hummus. Disappointing, but not too surprising. Still, we're looking good.
Looks like the Angels got the M's number. 6-2 in the 8th.
BR Stats!
Last 5 starts v Red Sox for Billy (all in 2003): 27 IP, 38 H, 29 R, 8.67!
Are we forced to endure espn tonight?
Your moderator this evening is trollzapper, a/k/a L-girl. Go Sox!
"For 100 years the Yankees always close the gap in September".
Except for the years they don't, that is.
ok im back.
tonight we will win...and tomorrow old man of the mountain will put his bloody-socked foot on the neck of the yankees.
Game is on NESN also, so we are not stuck with ESPN. But with all this glowing over Clemens, I could hardly tell.
wow our lineup looks like a red-headed stepchild....ugh
well we're stuck with steve phillips and friends.
Wow. I never thought I'd say this, but... Nice play by Giambi.
"well we're stuck with steve phillips and friends."
i'm glad i can't hear him. i hate that guy.
Giambi pulls one out of his *** and Pedroia gets plunked by FB - payback for A-rod?
We need Papi to go deep!
so Remy thinks he hit Pedroia intentionally?
Glad Pedroia didn't make anything of that beaning.
The Yankee fans were joking about beaning Dusty with Manny out. But I'd be rushing to judgment if I said I thought it was intentional. Though it was a fastball.
Looks like he got in there... TWICE! Too bad it was out of the line of sight for the ump.
By the way, did anyone ever hear back from Bradford about that apostrophe? I am still curious.
Re- Dustin - Remy thinks there is no doubt about it being intentional. This is Rahger and he dotted the I in the eye for an eye.
I don't see how it could *not* be intentional.
there's a dh tonight so billy can act tough.
I don't see how it could *not* be intentional.
Agreed. Fastballs don't get away from Clemens very often.
Rushing to judgment? This is Roger Clemens - and the Red Sox. No rush needed.
By the way, did anyone ever hear back from Bradford about that apostrophe? I am still curious.
Nope not a peep.
I did just hear the youk call from the crowd.
Bah. Drew got a bad read on that one. Took a step in.
orel has enjoyed watching slappy's emotions blossom and grow this season.
Josh to Slappy: HA!
orel has enjoyed watching slappy's emotions blossom and grow this season.
Love is in teh air
.... and that was after he gushed like a schoolgirl over CI.
Drew looked bad at first on the double but not so bad on the replay.
The K on A-Rod was awesome.
i like the weak hack by arod
Weird, ESPN here isn't even covering the game. I sure am not missing Orel's commentary.
NESN saying that Manny may miss the next 10 days. Aaaaaargh!
Sounded good off the bat.
8 straight balls from william
Two walks. Is he toying with us or losing control?
who will beckett hit?
I do not give a flying shit about what celebrities are at Yankee Stadium tonight, or last night, or tomorrow night. Or ever. There's a ballgame on. Kthx.
shemp K
roger is no longer good enough to toy with anyone.
dan shulman talking about beckett being more of a thrower this season than a pitcher.
come on beckett. stop nibbling
Steve Phillips is without question one of the 5 dumbest people in the world.
strike him OUT
goddamn it.
"Steve Phillips is without question one of the 5 dumbest people in the world."
would joe morgan be in the top 5 as well?
Yikes, what is going on? I cannot bear to watch this....
johnny damon: red sox killer.
we are in for a long night?
orel: "the red sox are not out of this at all."
thanks, idiot.
You know, I never really believed in the ESPN pro-Yankee bias, but man, listening to these guys, you wouldn't know there were 2 teams on the field.
The only thing they say about the RS are Manny's injured and Drew sucks. Other than that, all Yankees all the time.
wow, im glad we stepped it up for this series right?
what a bunch of fucking horseshit.
this team has no balls. we cannot put these fuckers away?
OK, I am really NOT enjoying this. Is Beckett really intimidated by the thought of Clemens his hero pitching tonight?
uh-oh, here comes the gloom and doom. only the 2nd inning folks. take it easy.
How come you people aren't getting NESN? I am in western MA. Where are you all that you are stuck with those guys?
Extra Ininngs package has ESPN feed tonight. We often don't have NESN.
sox down 0-3 with 7 innings to go.
sigh ...
i guess i'll be reading books and watching movies in october. oh well. see you guys in ft myers.
I'd hate to be a water cooler in the Red Sox dugout tonight.
frustration, i understand.
You're right, L-Girl. I will take a deep breath. Just too many bad memories...I have to tap into those 2004 memories instead.
yeah Amy!!
hey sox: make billy crytsal cry!
did you all hear, hilly krystal (cbgb's) died. 75 y/o. lung cancer.
ahh, Extra Innings. I am on regular cable. Our ESPN isn't showing any game at all.
more sad news: billy crystal is still alive.
my daughter consulted her magic 8-ball. WIll the Red Sox win tonight? "definitely yes" There ya go. watch and have fun.
we live outside of nesn area. by a wide margin. :)
Amy - You are in NESN country, the espn is blacked out in Western Ma and all of CT (except for fairfield, CT).
Well, I guess Dent was right, by the time the spankees come to fenway next month the Sox will be looking up in the standings at them. As Redsock said - see you all in the spring.
Leadoff BB. Good AB. Good start.
from 1977 to 2006, the home team has had a 3-0 lead after 2 innings 3119 times.
they won 2572 of those: 82.5%.
"we live outside of nesn area. by a wide margin. :) "
Well, Red Sox Nation is everywhere. (How do you folks quote a prior post here? I had to improvise.)
Giambi wins a footrace against Lugo. picture that.
I hope you folks are kidding (I am new here so not sure about the personalities yet). You are starting to scare me!
with < and > instead of [ and ]
wow we are really hitting well...
kidding? who?
i was kidding. i can't stand the "woe is us, the game is lost" stuff. so i was making fun of it.
(i assume s1c knew that, too.)
Giambi actually looks relatively slim.
sorry amy. we should watch the sarcasm, i guess.
allan (redsock) always posts those ".... is throwing a shut-out..." (or whatever). it's supposed to be a jinx.
fuck you aprod.
PEDORIA! My man! And big props to Hinske for getting that one back in quickly. Good play all-around!
[if there are big delays in comments, it's because i keep losing my connection to blogger... very annoying]
I saw that ball leave A-Rod's bat and let out a resigned "oh, fuck!" then "OH FUCK!" nice turnaround by dusty.
it's supposed to be a jinx.
it always works.
espn saying alex showing leadership, he was hustling, not a mistake. god the mfy cannot made a mistake to these guys
(they did mention almost as an afterthought that the sox have the best mlb record)
(i assume s1c knew that, too.) of course, he says in his best stooge voice.
Amy - Sarcasm here is used as a safety valve. No matter what, the lead won't be less than six in the morning, but I have faith that the boys with the red numbers will pull this out.
Fragging shemp.
Superman couldn't have gotten that one, oCoC. Hope he didn't hurt himself.
pointless dive for ococ.
get dumbo now.
sit down dumbo!!!
dumbo K!
get juicy and let's go pound fatass
phillips saying giambi must bunt here
That a boy!!!!
Remy is trying to jinx the no-hitter by giving away 20 tees at the rem report. Go sign up now!!!
then thank goodness we don't have nesn tonight
when the sox go bad, remy always does a commercial for himself, thinking that will get them winning.
so why don't the sox go 162-0 every year?
Clemens is pitching a no hitter!
Clemens is pitching a no hitter!
Clemens is pitching a no hitter!

Clemens is pitching a no hitter!

Ok, I am feeling better. I sort of assumed you were all being sarcastic (as I can be), but you never know for sure!
Had a phone call during the last inning, so didn't get to scream about that ARod putout. What a move!
People answer the phone during baseball games???
well this is annoying.
My mother...what can I say? Even at my age, I have to answer a call from Mom
Nixon, is your caplock stuck? lol
thank god the mighty damon didn't slam the dagger in any deeper. :<#
If my mom called during a red sox - yankees game, i'd know something big had happened. :)
moron phillips says jeter will get 4000 hits without fail.all 3 of these guys are polishing ci's knob like there's no tomorrow.
i admit it: i need remdawg nation!!!!!!!!
phillips says if jeter doesn't play his whole career with mfy it'll be "a disservice to everybody".
i admit it: i need remdawg nation!!!!!!!!
give in to the dark side, it will make you powerful
OK, let's get a hit. Beckett has settled down.
My parents live in NY...need I say more? I am the family rebel, having become a Red Sox fan when I moved to Boston in 75. My husband is still a Yankee fan. That's why I need this blog! I need the support of other fans while I watch the games. Glad I found you all. :)
BB Tek.
let's go crispy.
amy, you know about l-girl's conversion in 03?
(we had a mixed marriage too)
dear anyone on the red sox: get a hit off of this FAT MOFO!
Remy says Clemens tonight is the 35 year old version. Why are these guys so kind to this arrogant blowhard?
Why are these guys so kind to this arrogant blowhard?
It's ESPN.
He is a Yankee.
Wow, Amy, cool. Is your husband really into baesball?
Allan and I were diehard fans on each side of the rivalry for 15+ years. Then I had a religious experience.
That's why I need this blog! I need the support of other fans while I watch the games. Glad I found you all. :)
Yay, me too!
When we were in NYC, SOSH was Allan's lifeline.
this is bullshit. i'm not buying any of it. fatty roger pitching a no-hitter against us when he's been CRAP elsewhere this season?
Just got back from dinner... Did anyone else get annoyed at Youk when he went to play that ball hit between first and second? And then it looked like he had some choice words for Beckett.
Hitless through five. But this is why I don't like the general concept of no-hitters. You could walk eight men, have a no-hitter, and be mobbed at the mound and always be known for throwing a no-hitter.
Justin Verlander had four walks in his no-hitter. Curt Schilling allowed one base runner (on an error) and then gave up one hit. Who's outing was more impressive?
Holy Crap, I am going to blow a gasket! I want to see killer instinct.
amy, you know about l-girl's conversion in 03?
Nope---are you two married? Like I said, I am a newbie here.
Another man LOB. So annoying.
espn shows 1978 and you-know-what - and that's it. no footage exists from 2004, i guess.
We need to wake up here!
No hits agains the fat turd. C'mon!
espn ad for baseball tonight:
sox and yankee logos, they show dent and 1978 and .....
nothing else.
L-O Walk wasted
It CAN"T be that hard to hit that bastard.
(Note to self - shut the hell up, you couldn't do it if your life depended on it)
It's ESPN.
He is a Yankee.
No, I was talking about REMY on NESN.
Allan and I were diehard fans on each side of the rivalry for 15+ years. Then I had a religious experience. Is that why you hate the Mets?
ENOUGH WITH THE CELEBRITIES! Radio won't shut up about them and the TV keeps showing them.
Phew. I needed that.
its gatting late early boys...
My husband is a die hard Yankee fan. He sold soda at Yankee stadium, grew up in the Bronx, yada, yada, yada. I keep hoping for the same kind of conversion since we have lived in New England since 75, but no luck so far. My two daughters are Sox fans, though.
getting, rather.
angry typing...
I'd like to see Lugo bunt for a hit next inning.
espn = brotherhood of evil.
supporting NY-anything always wins.
Hot potato...
L hates the Mets. I do not.
She'll have to give you a link re: the whole amazing tale.
Pedroia works his magic again.
fucking christ. beckett's fielding has left me uninspired.... DP ok.
yes. fuck. god. finally a dp!!!afjkhsjdhf
Arod the arrogant hits into a DP. At least there is some justice here.
How do you luck into THREE infield hits in 5 innings
HITS HITS HITS HITS HTIS HTISHDIHIUFHSDJFN:SKDJNFSKJDNFKJSNF:KJSDFGOIKSdbv
Alright Lugo... BUNT!
Amy - don't feel bad, counting the in-laws its a 10 yankees / 10 sox split. Makes the gatherings on the holidays lot of fun. Especially if the two teams are playing.
Fortunately butterfly broke up with the yankee fan.
Whoops. Looks like I missed something.
My bad.
Go Pedroia!

Amy, very cool. I would think that being in New England would make your husband dig in to his Yankeeness even more.
THere's no wishing for conversion. Allan would have never guessed it could have happened to me - neither would I! If he had ever tried to convert me, it would only have made it worse.
And yes, that is why I hate the Mets. :)
tcm at 75 pitches to start the 6th.
working on his NO HITTER
In an hour I've gotta go to the radio show. My cohort is a die-hard MFY fan. I could really use a Sox lead to deal with him. Whatya say guys? a few hits please.
come on guys, do it for nick!!
I could really use a Sox lead to deal with him.

LOVE that Papi
There goes your no-no FB
alright! I think Papi heard us. Now lets see another back-to-back-to-back ....
ups. guess not..but ice is teh broke.
NOW Remy says Clemens hasn't been that great. About time he sounded like a Sox announcer.
i forgot to say dong :)
we need more runs, yook.
Print out a copy of the AL East standings.
Duly noted, Redsock. That plus a crushing comeback would do quite nicely.
NOW Remy says Clemens hasn't been that great. About time he sounded like a Sox announcer.
About time he sounded like he knows the facts.
My son in law is a Mets fan. Why do hate the Mets? I hated them in 86, but generally feel pretty neutral about them and love when they beat the Yankees.
Why do hate the Mets?
Because I grew up in NY as a Yankees fan, and some things do not die.
I love to hate the Mets! It's fun. :)
Gee, maybe it helped that we weren't picking on Drew tonight.
JD! Let's go Captain!!!
Going from 1st to 3rd on a single.
BIG TWO OUT HITS! lets go!!!!

This could be big - although just how big remains unclear. "There you have. 1,000,001 Apple Devices UDIDs linking to their users and their APNS tokens. The original file contained around 12,000,000 devices. We decided a million would be enough to release. We trimmed out other personal data as, full names, cell numbers, addresses, zipcodes, etc." How did AntiSec get this data (they claim)? From an FBI laptop. Why an FBI laptop would have a file with personal information on 12 million iOS users, we don't know - especially since 10000 of them are Dutch/Belgian, and last I checked, those do not fall under FBI jurisdiction. Did the FBI obtain it from an application developer, or from Apple itself? Then again - 12 million users? From a single iOS developer? I find that hard to believe.

Gambucci, wrestling with confidence, provided the fireworks for the Blue Devils throughout the day. After outlasting Joey Ward of North Carolina 3-2 in his opening bout, Gambucci answered any questions of him qualifying for NCAA Championships by upsetting top-seeded Geoffrey Alexander in an 11-2 major decision.
Seeded fifth overall and up against No. 2 seed George DiCamillo of Virginia in the title bout, Gambucci turned in an outstanding performance. The Mansfield, Ohio native grabbed the first lead of the match with a takedown in the first period. Gambucci and DiCamillo continued to trade points, but a takedown in the waning seconds gave the Virginia freshman enough time to tack on the extra seconds of riding time for the 10-9 decision.
Gambucci is 19-5 overall and becomes the 34th Blue Devil to earn a spot in the NCAA postseason. He improved two spots from a year ago after placing fourth in his inaugural championship.
Joining Gambucci on the podium with a third-place showing was redshirt freshman Conner Hartmann at 197 pounds. Competing for the first time since Jan. 6, Hartmann performed well for the Blue Devils. The Port Orchard, Wash. native cruised through the opening bout with a 13-2 major decision before losing to top-seeded Christian Boley 3-1 in the semifinals.
Hartmann quickly rebounded in the consolation semifinals with a 6-1 decision in the consolation semifinals against North Carolina's Frank Abbondanza to set up a third-place match with Derrick Borlie. Looking to help solidify a chance for an at-large bid to the NCAA Championships, Hartmann scored first with an escape and then added a late takedown to post his 20th victory of the year with a 3-1 decision.
Redshirt freshman Trey Adamson and junior Brian Self advanced to the consolation finals and placed fourth overall at 174 and heavyweight, respectively. The finish was the highest for Self in his second ACC Championship appearance, while Adamson made his debut.
Adamson, in search of one of three berths at 174 pounds, made his way to the consolation finals with wins over four seed Tanner Eitel of UNC and Patrick Davis of NC State. Up against Austin Gabel of Virginia Tech, Adamson fought to the very end as he lost on a takedown in the early moments of the third overtime. Overall, Adamson is 22-16 and went 3-5 against ACC foes this season.
Self put himself in position for a top-three finish as well with a thrilling triple overtime victory in the consolation semifinals. Wrestling outside of his normal 197-pound division, Self scored a takedown early in the third overtime to outlast Maryland's Dallas Brown and earn the opportunity to wrestle one more time. In the consolation finals, the Oklahoma City native met Mike Kosoy for the second time of the day, falling to the Wolfpack heavyweight.
At 141 pounds, sophomore Tanner Hough started the day by upsetting No. 3 seed Joe Spisak of Virginia by a 5-3 decision. Hough, in search of his second consecutive NCAA berth, fell in the semifinal round to second-seeded Zach Neibert leaving him still in need of a victory to secure a bid. Hough came up short again in the consolation semifinals, dropping a 9-0 major decision to Maryland's Frank Goodwin.
Redshirt sophomore Immanuel Kerr-Brown also just missed the consolation finals with a 7-5 overtime setback to Chris Mears of North Carolina in the consolation semifinal. Kerr-Brown won his first match by major decision, fell in the semifinal in a 5-2 decision to set up the heartbreaking defeat against Mears. The regular season meeting between the duo also finished in overtime as Kerr-Brown emerged victorious in that bout.
Gambucci will wrestle again at the NCAA Championships March 21-23 at the Wells Fargo Center in Des Moines, Iowa. Hartmann will await word on whether he receives and at-large bid to the NCAA field. The NCAA officially announces the field March 13 on NCAA.com

A Need for Healthy Senior Housing—Q&A with Eric Paine
The National Council on Aging reports that there are more than 23 million Americans aged 60+ that are economically insecure (living at or below 250% of the federal poverty level). For housing developers in the southwest, this number is of particular concern. A recent study by the Arizona Housing Alliance showed that more than 200,000 residents are paying upwards of 78% of their income in rent.
Addressing the Need in Senior Affordable Housing
There is a void of affordable senior housing in the southwest region and throughout the United States. Recognizing this void, a team of real estate experts and developers called Community Development Partners (CDP) came together to build affordable housing for seniors. Founded in 2012 and led by Eric Paine, the professionals have overseen the development of over 2,000 affordable units and 500 market-rate units throughout California and have expanded into the Phoenix market. The organization has a strong focus on building efficiently and with an integration of sustainable building practices.
Paine is working on a number of projects for seniors, including:
- The Marquee Senior Apartments: Phoenix, AZ, 34 Units
- Morgan Hill Retirement Residences: Morgan Hill, CA, 138 Units
- Cypress Senior Apartments: Glendale, CA, 18 Units
- El Rancho Family Apartments: Mesa, AZ, 66 Units
- Las Casitas Family Townhomes: Phoenix, AZ, 26 Units
With an interest in this developing need, we got in touch with Eric Paine. Below is our conversation.
Home Energy: Does CDP build all these housing developments from the ground up or do you also do remodels?
Eric Paine: The organization was founded to provide a holistic approach to affordable housing development. CDP does both renovations of existing structures and new construction. From a sustainability standpoint, we perceive the upcycling of an existing and obsolete structure to be the epitome of sustainable building.
HE: It's obvious that efficient, affordable senior housing is a necessity. How does CDP address this need different than other housing developers?
EP: CDP is nimble and able to spot trends and shifts in lifestyle which leads to our unconventional approach. Our Marquee project in downtown Phoenix is a perfect example. We created a senior affordable housing project in the middle of a vibrant, art-centric downtown. The project is in close walking distance to the light rail, YMCA, restaurants, parks, and other services.
HE: What specific energy efficiency measures are included in the housing developments you've worked on?
EP: This short list is not exhaustive but represents some examples: no VOC for applied finishes, solid surface flooring throughout (no carpet), low-flow fixtures, dual-flush toilets, advanced Energy Star lighting packages, high efficiency hot water distribution systems, roofing that exceeds IECC standards and has a high solar reflectivity index, efficient furnaces, and solar infrastructure.
HE: Do you inform your occupants about the health benefits of living in energy-efficient, comfortable homes?
EP: Yes, we do an introduction tour with each resident upon move-in.
HE: What is the future of affordable senior homes? And how does that directly affect the housing market as a whole?
EP: As we continue seeing the Baby Boomer generation aging we will see the demand continue to rise for high quality, safe, affordable housing. The demand will keep developers focused on the housing type and with continued support in the form of Federal tax credit programs more projects will come to fruition.
Through regulatory language, the state housing agencies will be able to continue to push an agenda of requiring sustainable building practices and components on every project. This development of quality, sustainable housing for seniors is a great benefit to the individual communities in which the projects are located as well as the surrounding city.

New XULE carbon fiber main bodies for automags.
-Angel feedneck and dual detent threads
-Autococker barrel threads
-Will work on almost any AGD mag except classic RT/sydarm
-25% lighter than a AGD ULE body
-Real Carbon fiber construction.....breech area is 7075 aluminum.
-Two piece carbon body allows you to change the front tube to different styles...creating a new look
-Once piece carbon body features a bolt on feedneck adapter block....the prototype has angel threads but other threads may be avail if there is enough demand.....another great thing about this design is you can change it if you damage the threads....Its a heavy duty piece made of 7075 aluminum and bolted on with 4 8-32 screws.
The Bodies shown below are prototypes....I am in the process of testing them. The Two Piece body is going to be cheaper to make/buy....The one Piece body has allot of extra steps/more pieces involved in its construction and will be more expensive. Its to early to say but the carbon fibers will be slightly more expensive than my RT/Minimag ULE bodies i produce out of aluminum. Carbon Fiber is expensive and a pain in the ass to work with....But it sure does look cool!!!!
Make sure you do the poll at the top of the thread....only one design is going to make the cut and be produced.
Post on here and let me know what you guys think.
One piece is on the top and the two piece is on the bottom...both have RT Front
One piece with RT Front

"Credit to Illinois for stepping up in singles tonight," said head coach Ramsey Smith. "This loss hurts but I believe it will make our team tougher in the long run. It was an exciting college tennis environment and an experience that we can certainly learn from."
Illinois' Jared Hitzlik gained the early advantage over junior Fred Saba on the decisive court two singles match in the first set, 4-1. Saba, a native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was able to come from behind in the frame to take a 6-5 lead, before ultimately falling in a tiebreaker, 7-6 (4). The third-year player responded by taking the second set, 6-4, before Hitzlik, ranked 114th in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings, clinched the 4-3 victory for Illinois, 7-6, 4-6, 6-3.
Senior Henrique Cunha, the 11th-ranked player in the rankings, overwhelmed Stephen Hoh in straight sets from the No. 1 position, 6-1, 6-2, while junior Chris Mengel earned Duke's second victory of the evening in singles, defeating Brian Page in the No. 5 spot in the lineup, 6-1, 7-5.
The Illini took the first singles point of the match on court three, as freshman Michael Redlicki dropped the first dual match of his Duke career against Tim Kopinski, 6-3, 6-2. The Blue Devils faced their first deficit this season, 2-1, after freshman Bruno Semenzato was defeated in his collegiate debut by Bruno Abdelnour, 6-0, 6-3, in the No. 4 position in the lineup. Sophomore Raphael Hemmeler dropped his first dual match of the season at the No. 6 spot against Ross Guignon, 6-2, 6-4.
In doubles, the tandem of Saba and Mengel, the 37th-ranked duo in the nation, claimed the first victory of the evening over Alex Jesse and Hitzlik on court three, 8-3. The top-ranked pair of Henrique Cunha and Hemmeler clinched the doubles point and continued Duke's undefeated streak in doubles from the No. 1 position over Abdelnour and Hoh of Illinois, 8-3. The pair extended their winning streak to 14 consecutive matches dating back to the fall.
The 39th-ranked duo of Redlicki and Tahir were down 6-5 in their match on court three against Illinois' Guignon and Kopinski before the match was left unfinished.
Up next, the Blue Devils will travel to South Bend, Ind., to face No. 30 Notre Dame on Sunday at noon.

It's called the Battle that Saved Washington.
July 7, 2012, the National Park Service celebrated the Battle of Monocacy that took place on July 9, 1864. It was to have been a two day event, but the temperature was in the 90's, so they backed it off to one day. Monocacy is a couple of miles south of Frederick, Maryland.
So what was it like in 1864? Don't know, as I haven't found any temperature readings for that date and place, but there was much to be learned about this battle.
There were three farms along the Monocacy River, where this battle took place. One on the North side of the river, the Best Farm, Two on the South, the Thomas and Worthington Farms.
The Best Farm:
The Thomas Farm:
And the Worthington Farm:
The owner of this farm was John Thomas Worthington (1826-1905) who is my 4th Cousin, 3 Times Removed. His ancestor was the oldest son of Capt. John Worthington (1650-1701), while my ancestor was the youngest son of Capt. John.
Judge Glenn Howard Worthington (1858-1934) was the son of John Thomas Worthington who wrote the book "The Battle that Saved Washington". It should be noted, that Judge Worthington was involved in creating this National Battlefield before his death in 1934.
The re-enactor's for the day, were "in uniform", as they may have been 148 years ago, and had a number of demonstrations to give a hint as to what the battle might have looked like.
The story teller, gave us a hint into the life of the Confederate Army at the time of this battle.
The above photography was demonstrating a Skirmish Line, as an advanced party ahead of the Confederate Army that was behind them.
The Union story teller, walked us through "by the 9 count", and what that was so important.
The Union Army was demonstrating "by the 9 count" way of firing. Oh, did you know that 4 teeth and 2 fingers were required to be in the Army? We learned why.
The National Park Service provided information about the importance of this battle. This was the only battle that the Confederate Army won on Union Soil?
The Confederate Army was going to take Washington, DC. The Union Army was "out of place", and were trying to get re-enforcements back to DC to fortify the city.
The Union Army was able to slow down the Confederate Army for "a day", allowing those re-enforcements to get back into place.
The heat of the day, watching the demonstration, helped put this battle into perspective, from the stories of this battle, at this place, 148 years ago.

Pa., 21 other states default on essential health benefits decision
Pennsylvania was among the 22 states that did not choose an essential health benefits benchmark plan by the Dec. 26 deadline and defaulted to their largest small-group products.
Generally speaking, the components of the benchmark plan will become the minimum requirement for all nongrandfathered individual and small-group health insurance offerings beginning in 2014. The model is complex, also involving federal requirements, and within certain guidelines plans can substitute different actuarially equivalent coverages.
Pennsylvania's benchmark will be Aetna Health Inc. PA POS Cost Sharing 34 1500 Ded.
"We also understand that the financial pieces of the coverage options need to be determined as outlined in HHS' proposed rules, and that those rules are not expected to be finalized until sometime in the early spring," said Rosanne Placey, spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Insurance Department.
Small-group products also dominated among 29 states that made selections by the deadline, with 21 choosing them, according to statereforum.org. Five states chose their largest HMOs, with only two states choosing a state employee plan and only one state choosing a Federal Employees Health Benefits program.
According to Pennsylvania's preliminary study of benchmark options, the difference in total cost among the benchmark options was about 1 percent, or about $5 per member per month.

Pottawatomie County voters on Tuesday will decide whether to pay 50 percent more in the fees currently paid for landline 911 tariffs to further improve the county's 911 system. If passed, most residential customers will pay 48 to 88 cents more each month in tariff fees.
Pottawatomie County voters on Tuesday will decide whether to pay 50 percent more in the fees currently paid for landline 911 tariffs to further improve the county's 911 system. If passed, most residential customers will pay 48 to 88 cents more each month in tariff fees.
The election mostly affects voters outside of the Shawnee city limits, although some residents just outside the city with Shawnee phone numbers also are affected.
Tommy Arnold, director of the Pottawatomie County E-911 Center, said residents who have Shawnee phone numbers in the 273, 275, 878 or 214 exchange and also live outside of the city limits of Shawnee are included in the county 911 service area just like those living in Bethel Acres, Tecumseh, Maud, Tribbey, Pearson, Wanette, Earlsboro, and McLoud.
The county currently collects a 10 percent fee of the landline telephone tariff rate for purposes of providing and operating 911 services. For most customers, that tariff is a tax that ranges from 95 cents each month on the low side in Maud to the highest rate of $1.75 per month for customers in Tecumseh. The amounts vary based on different phone service providers in the county.
The ballot asks voters to approve the maximum tariff amount allowed for landlines, which is a 15 percent tariff rather than the current 10 percent being collected. If approved, customers will pay 50 percent more in tariff fees than what they are paying right now, which amounts to anything from 48 cents to 88 cents more each month.
The additional tariff is being requested for operations of enhanced 911 services and equipment, Arnold said, and to increase capabilities such as having the ability for texting 911 services and upgrading to next generation 911 equipment.
At 10 percent, the Pottawatomie County E-911 system collected about $121,131.93 for the first six months of the fiscal year that started in July 2012.
Based on those collections, a tariff increase from 10 to 15 percent could bring in about $120,000 in additional funding each year, although Arnold said collected 911 tariff fees have been on the decline because of decreases in landline phones. Arnold said they are losing about $30,000 each year from a reduction in the number of landline phones.
The election on Tuesday falls on the same day many county voters also head to the polls for annual school board elections.
Polls are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Estimated landline 911 fee increase for Residential customers

Cameroon Judge Frees 2 Men Jailed for Looking Gay
A court has overturned the conviction of two men who were sentenced for five years in prison for "looking gay" and ordering Bailey's Irish Cream.
The Court of Appeals Monday acquitted the men and ordered their release. The two men had already spent more than a year in jail where they were subjected to abuse from guards and other prisoners, according to human rights advocates.
The new ruling has been hailed by human rights lawyers and gay rights advocates who urged President Paul Biya to release all other prisoners found guilty under the country's harsh anti-gay laws.
On December 17, a Cameroonian court upheld the five-year-sentence of another man, Roger Jean-Claude Mbede, who was convicted of sending a text message that said "I love you" to another man.

On Feb.15, 2011, the Florida Departmentof Environmental Protection awarded the Cedar Key School the statewide Recycle Pledge Drive Award at a special awards ceremony.
The Sharks won this award because they solicited more recycling pledges per student than another other school in the state.
In addition to receiving this recognition, the school received a new computer. The Energy Advisory Panel, who helped with the pledge drive, also announced the establishment of its new Environmental Scholarship.
For the next four years, a $1,000 scholarship will be awarded. The Energy Advisory Panel hopes to increase this program, when positive results are seen at the school. The goals of the scholarship are twofold: first, to help our children get more education and second, to help the Cedar Key School become a model for energy awareness, conservation and sustainability throughout the state.
Scholarship criteria are based on the following: Senior student must be accepted into a trade/technical school or college.The number of "environmental" points the student has earned throughout their academic career. Scholarship applicants are also required to submit an essay that is 500 words or less.
Every time a student participates in an environmental activity that is verified and recorded, they acquire points. Five points for organizing an activity, three points if you are a team leader and two points for participating.
Activities can range from participating in the Coastal Cleanup program to improving recycling on campus, from attending environmental educational programs at the library, planting trees or the students may come up with their own ideas.
Miss Jenni-Lynn, at the school, kindly offered to keep track of points for the students. This year the Arts Festival will be a "Sustainable Event", with a goal of recycling one half of all waste produced. There will be two monitored Recycle/Trash stations in the City Park. Volunteers are need to help with these stations by working two and a half hour shifts on Saturday or Sunday.
Volunteers will educate festival goers, so that the recyclables go in the recycle bin and that the trash goes in the trash bin. Students will get double scholarship points for this event. Call 543-6042 if you would like to volunteer - even if you are not a student.

All law enforcement agencies that responded to the prank 911 call on March 6 have submitted restitution amounts — more than $12,000 in total — to the McDonough County State's Attorney's Office.
According to court documents, the Western Illinois University Office of Public Safety is requesting $1,384.56 in restitution for the costs it incurred during the incident.
OPS Chief Scott Harris said when broken down, the amount submitted accounts for 30.7 hours of overtime spread out over 15 personnel who were either called in early or had to stay late on their shifts to assist with the call.
If the call had been legitimate, Harris said OPS would not have sought restitution.
"That's part of doing business," he said, adding that his office is seeking restitution because the call was ultimately a hoax and caused community resources to be taxed unnecessarily.
During the March 6 incident, a five-hour investigation had ensued around a house on West Murray Street after sighting of an armed individual was reported. Shortly after 11 p.m. that night, police informed media the house in question was found to be empty, and WIU pre-law enforcement and justice administration student Alvin Montgomery, 25, of Macomb was apprehended the following day.
Sydney John, victim/witness coordinator for the McDonough County State's Attorney's Office, said restitution is submitted on behalf of the victims of crimes — in this case local and state law enforcement.
The defense is notified of the amount of restitution being sought and, ultimately, the judge presiding over the case must sign off and approve the request.
However, John said a judge can request clarification of the restitution amount if he or she feels there isn't enough documentation in the state's file.
If the defendant pleads guilty or is found guilty by a jury, they will — as part of sentencing — be ordered to pay the restitution amount agreed upon by the judge. John said the defendant can pay the restitution in full if they are able to do so, but in most cases, defendants enter into a payment plan. Typically, victims do not receive their restitution all at once.
"It may take several years to pay off depending on the amount," she said.
The Macomb Police Department is seeking $2,406.55 in restitution.
Macomb Police Chief Curt Barker said his department's restitution amount accounts for 62.5 man hours across 14 officers called in to assist during the incident. Each officer had a different assignment, Barker said, and each worked a different number of hours.
The McDonough County Sheriff's Office incurred a total cost of $1,032.39 while responding the the call, said Sheriff Rick VanBrooker. The amount submitted tot the state's attorney's office covered about 26.5 hours of work. Two additional officers were called in to assist during the incident, he said.
The largest amount of restitution — $7,868.41 — came from the Illinois State Police. District 14 Trooper Dan Hill said the amount submitted figures in man hours spent during the incident and the vehicle mileage used by troopers who were called in while off-duty to respond.
"We had people coming in from some distance away," he said, "The mileage figure basically covers officers who were called back in."
All in all, Hill said 12 state troopers responded to the call. However, he added that he does not have the exact number of man hours spent or mileage used during the incident.

Maine Notaries Required to Marry Same-Sex Couples
Notaries in the state of Maine who can officiate weddings have been warned that they cannot discriminate against same-sex couples who want to to tie the knot, Think Progress reports.
Notaries who do turn down same-sex couples will be violating the Maine Human Rights Act, which protects against discrimination based on sexual orientation. The Maine Secretary of State recently sent an email and explained that the new gay marriage law will go into effect by the end of the month and does not exempt the state's 25,000 notaries the way it does religious clergy.
"If you are a Notary Public who performs marriages and you refuse to perform a marriage for a couple due to a person's race, color, sex, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, religion, creed, age, ancestry or national origin, you may be subject to a claim of discrimination," Cathy Beaudoin, who is in charge of licensing notaries in the state, wrote. "The new law authorizing same-sex marriage does not provide any exemption from liability for Maine Notaries who refuse to perform marriages for same-sex couples."
On Dec. 29, same-sex couples will be able to legally marry in the Pine Tree State, after Gov. Paul LePage signed off on the certified election results on Nov. 29, as the Associated Press and others reported. On Nov. 6 voters in Maine, Maryland and Washington approved laws that legalized gay marriage.
When the National Organization for Marriage, a group that wants to ban marriage equality from the country, reported the story on its official blog, it noted that some Notaries resigned after Maine voters approved the marriage equality law. When the ultra-conservative website Life Site News reported the story, readers reacted with outrage.
As one reader wrote, "Where is their accommodation of dissenting notaries? Their talk is now of punishment of all disagreement with their ever-expanding agenda. The next step will be the demand to criminalize any and all disagreement. Freedom of expression will no longer exist."

SHIRLEY -- Ayer Shirley Regional School Committee member Patrick Kelly is proposing that the committee go paperless in the neat future, and instead view all necessary handouts for meetings on Google Drive, which could be accessed at meetings by Chrome books bought by the district for committee members.
Currently, the district office photocopies entire agenda packets for the six members of the committee, who must keep them for a number of years in their homes if someone were to ask for copies of them.
"I think as a committee we need to be in the 21st century," Kelly said. "We need to be as green and efficient as we can be. There are technologies we have access to where we don't have to print all these papers, make all these binders, and hang on to them for so long."
He said that he and Laura Callahan, the administrative assistant to the superintendent, have been communicating with other school districts who have made this move to see how effective it has been.
A Chrome book, he said, are similar to other tablets but also resemble laptops, and run for about $200 and have internet access that could be used during meetings. Currently, the superintendent, assistant superintendent, Callahan, and building principals have iPads to be used for school functions.
"Even at about $200 a device, we'd be spending only about a quarter of what we're spending now in ink, toner, and paper costs in addition to postage," Kelly said.
If the information is out there, he said, it could not only help committee members but parents and community members as well.
"If we could do this electronically, we can make it immediately available for everyone. We want to make things even more accessible then they are today. More people would know more about what's going on if the information was more readily available," he said.
School Committee Chairman Joyce Reischutz said that she's not sold on the idea that it will save nearly as much money as predicted, but said that it's at least worth considering going forward.
"That's fine. The thing is, what happens when anyone goes paperless, is you sometimes wind up printing it out yourself. We're always glad when the district can cut costs. We're volunteers and I'd rather not use my ink and toner and paper but we'll see," she said.
Reischutz said she understands people are moving more toward being green and doing things electronically, so she's not opposed but know that some people may not like watching the committee from behind computer screens.
"People do it. It is the thing that's coming. At one point, they were talking about laptops or something like that. I think it's hard. You're a committee discussing things, you shouldn't be behind a screen. It's the new thing coming," she said.
She said that the committee has to be careful that if the documents are put online, that the open meeting law is still followed.
"Once it hits the airwaves, you're open to people having it. There are very few things that would be a problem," she said.
Kelly said the kinks have to be worked out before anything is done.

BaddieBey or Sasha Fierce?
Beyonce is on Instagram.
It's big news, ok?
It's why her Tumblr became such an obsession. You would understand if you're familiar with her Tumblr. Because Beyonce doesn't f-ck around. When Beyonce does something, it will be better than everyone else, whatever it is. Or, in this case, BaddieBey will be better...
Hey Instagram, it's me, Bey.
And there it is...
Bey in glasses bigging up her President.
Bey's handwriting in perfectly proportionate marker on a lined pad pissing off Republicans.
Doesn't it seem like Beyonce has a pro-quality photo at the ready at every opportunity? And the turnaround time involved in making this happen is quick without compromising her excellent standard?
Like, she must not only have a studio built into their home, I wonder if the photographers and makeup artists and hair people aren't just on call but are required to LIVE IN, like a nanny or a housekeeper, so that she can have her picture taken, you know, for her Tumblr or her Instagram, whenever she wants, as soon as she wants. Which wouldn't be impossible for the Beys and the Mimis of the world. I just don't understand why B's sh-t always ends up so deluxe and Mimi sh-t always looks like it's happening in a stairwell.

Over the University of Colorado's winter break, three graduate students headed to Nicaragua in preparation for the spring semester.
The students are part of a four-person team that will be helping the Solar Program Foundation for Nicaraguan Women, which supports the country's rural women via solar cooking stoves, develop a plan to support the organization's efforts this spring.
Graduate students Lora Golann, Emily Deemer and Devon Wilton spent nearly a week in Nicaragua meeting the foundation employees, sifting through financial documents and talking to the local clients.
"We wanted to get an idea of the type of people we were working with and see first person the tangible benefit of the work they're doing," Wilton said. "One of the benefits of working with the women in-person, is it made me feel more like we were working on a real project rather than just a class project."
This spring, the students will use the experiences and information gained over the break to develop a business plan and break-even analysis of the organization's newest venture in their Social Entrepreneurship in Emerging Markets class.
The foundation, known as FUPROSOMUNIC, was founded by Mercedes Alvarez, a Nicaraguan native who currently lives in Boulder. The foundation's goal is to improve the country's rural population by exchanging wood-burning stoves that emit deadly fumes for solar-powered stoves that are healthier for the environment and the locals. The organization started selling dried fruits and herbs in order to financially support the project.
The CU class -- through the Leeds School of Business's Center for Education on Social Responsibility -- will cover doing business in the developing world by working with environmentally and socially responsible companies, said professor Francy Milner.
"Students used to create their own social ventures but they were never launched since they were hypothetical," Milner said. "So if we want to make a difference in the world, then our students have to have real-life, hands-on, meaningful projects."
Milner said while the other groups will communicate with their companies via Skype and email, being on the ground gives the students a better understanding of their organizations and how to contribute.
Gathering company documents is often difficult since many of the companies do not have the technology to send digital files, Milner said. Wilton's team used their cell phones to photograph paper documents during their trip.
The cultural and social effects of a company's efforts are also hard to gauge through video chats, she said.
"On site visits, students can learn things that I'm not sure you can draw out during Skype conversations and emails," Milner said.
Wilton's group was the first to have a site visit funded by CESR as part of their experiential learning efforts, Milner said.
"A couple of years ago we had a team go to Honduras, but the students went on their own and paid their own way," Milner said. "Ideally, we'd like to grow the site visits every year but that takes funding."

Attorneys disclosed scraps of information about Torralba detailing his personal life, criminal history and the grand jury investigation against him before the judge moved discussion to a conference room.
When they emerged, Torralba's $250,000 bond was reduced to $75,000 and the court had set a future status conference for Jan. 24, 2013.
Kayla Chadwick, 18, was last seen in late March after an argument with Torralba. A grand jury convened to investigate her disappearance and later found there was probable cause to believe Torralba had interfered with the investigation by destroying, tampering or removing evidence. In this case, according to court arguments, the grand jury found evidence the defendant may have moved or hidden a gun used as evidence.
They indicted Torralba, and he was arrested Nov. 8.
Defense attorney Thor Bauer requested a bond reduction, citing the suspect's local ties to northeast Colorado, his low financial means and the fact that the top charges he faces – the perjury counts – are only a class 4 felony.
He described Torralba as a lifelong Colorado resident, born in Greeley, whose whole family lives within either Weld County or Morgan County.
Torralba graduated from Fort Morgan High School with honors, he added, held a position as a welder at Delta Oil Field and takes care of his 13-year-old sister when his mother works night shifts.
Assistant District Attorney Brittny Lewton objected to a reduction, arguing that Torralba had a lengthy juvenile criminal history, including once being caught possessing a weapon on school property, two prior probation violations and three minor in possession charges.
She also cited the gravity of the allegations against Torralba and the danger he posed to the community.
"He lied to a grand jury," she explained. "The proof of that is fairly significant."
Bauer said the defendant had been "completely cooperative" with investigators and had made several statements.
Because the information involved in the grand jury investigation is secret – and because the investigation is ongoing – Singer requested additional information about Torralba outside of the courtroom. The exact reason for the bond reduction wasn't disclosed after the conference, but Lewton said $250,000 was a "very high bond" for a class 4 felony and that she wasn't surprised by Singer's decision.
Torralba would also be monitored with a GPS tracker as a condition of the bond.
Though the investigation continues, evidence has not yet shown that Torralba committed a crime against Kayla Chadwick or is linked to her disappearance.

Only a few months ago, new homeowners moved into their first house. This property has many desirable qualities. The size of the lot is large, the architecture is contemporary and the windows look new. They are surrounded by mature hedges and trees ... but what's with the roof ? It's unknown whether it was the original concept or if the previous resident reinvented himself as an architect.
Because the roofing is tired and the look is all wrong, they've decided to address the problem by fixing the ugly overhang and have new shingles installed at the same time. I suggest a solid neutral dark brown which pairs well with the beige bricks.
The cornices, the horizontal gutters and the four top windows would also be painted a dark chocolate brown in a matte finish. To unify the base of the house, the two windows could be painted the same tint as the brick, again in matte. Presuming that the window lattices are removable, they ought to be cut to one-third of their height and painted brown. If they are permanent and inside the two layers of glass, the windows, cornices and horizontal gutters will absolutely have to be white. In either case, a simple new door with a frosted glass and twin side windows will also be the colour of the roof but in a semi-gloss finish.
The wooden siding needs a good mechanical sanding. I propose to cover the surface with an opaque stain in a strong camel-hair colour. The shed will also have to replicate the new scheme.
A made-to-measure nine square trellis made out of 1 ½'' posts and stained brown will connect the ''L'' shape flower box to the roof. In summer, reliable and droughttolerant annuals could effortlessly display clusters of cascading pink blooms. In winter, the container would lend itself beautifully to decorative pine branches and miniature white lights.
The choices of materials available for the construction of a pathway are numerous and will be decided according to the budget of the homeowners. I recommend the same beige tint as the bricks on the facade. The walkway will be much larger than the door and will go straight from there - then the direction will shift toward the driveway in a leaner width and at an angle. On the exterior side of the pathway, the same angular line should be extended all the way to the left side of the house to form another flower bed.
I would remove the rounded islands of vegetation in the centre of the lot. It looks too rustic in comparison with the style of the house. A miniature decorative tree was awkwardly planted on the lawn and in the middle of the lot. On the property, randomly positioned shrubs near the home are fighting for attention and for a place in the sun. The present vegetation around the area ought to be reused in a more coherent marriage and necessary spacing. After blossoming, an annual trim is recommended to retain the rounded shape and density of the flowering shrubs.
On the exposed soil, flowering ground cover could fill the void and discourage uninvited weeds. As a hedge, a repetition of white blooming perennials is tailored for the clean lines of the residence. A new crawling grey green conifer is installed below the left lower window. It will show off its purplish shades during the cold months. In the flower bed on the right, the owner's yellow evergreen bush will be planted away from the wall to help foster the sunlight into the basement.
The scattered rocks on the lawn could be recuperated and placed in the natural carpet under the ornamental tree.
On a lot of this size, one huge tree or three medium ones wouldn't be excessive if planted in a triangular formation and placing the one in the centre closer to the street.
Oh, I almost forgot ... for a trendier statement; a bigger simple light fixture in bronze or silver and bolder address numbers positioned vertically would be the finishing touch.
Vegetation (from left to right):
--Mugo (owner's evergreen bush, on the side of the house)
--Hemerocallis X Hybrida Double Cream (perennials, white)
--Juniperus Horizontalis Plumosa Compacta (grey green conifer)
--Pelargonium X Peltatum (annuals, pink, flower box)
--Campanula Capartica (per-ennial hedge, white, walkway)
--Spirea (owner's green leafed shrub, pink)
--Owner's yellow conifer
--Caragana (owner's, decora-tive tree)
--Aubrieta Deltoides (peren-nial ground cover, pink)
--Hypericum Kalmianum (owner's, near entry of new fence)
--Spireas (owner's, along the rest of the fence)

Business in Hudson County improved considerably, and sales and profits were up for a third consecutive year in 2012, according to a New Jersey Business and Industry Association 2013 Business Outlook Survey.
"The findings of this year's survey are encouraging," said NJBIA President Philip Kirschner, who presented the findings in a news conference at the association's Trenton headquarters. "Business is picking up, business confidence is rising, and growing numbers of businesses believe New Jersey is on the right track."
Almost all local businesses have recovered from the devastation from Hurricane Sandy, and those that are still closed have set reopening dates (Hoboken's ShopRite expects to reopen in February).
In one less promising statistic, Hudson County's unemployment rate was 10.5 percent, higher than New Jersey's 9.7 percent for October. But a few new developments and stores promise to offer more jobs to residents in the future.
Recovering from Sandy
Hurricane Sandy inflicted serious damage on the economy right before the holiday shopping season, but most businesses were able to regain their bearings by December.
Hoboken suffered from flooding and a crippled transportation system. By the end of November, the city sent out a release saying that more than 97 percent of the city's businesses had reopened. On Dec. 19, the PATH trains started running to and from 33rd Street in Manhattan again.
In order to boost business, the city came up with two free parking programs. During the holidays metered parking is free. Also, visitors can park for four hours for free from 9 a.m. to midnight in December in municipal garages if they spend $20 at local shops.
Among those businesses struggling to reopen, Hoboken's massive ShopRite supermarket announced that it will reopen some time in February with new features. The city has three other supermarkets, but with a population of 50,000, all are needed.
The city's A&P was able to reopen soon after the storm.
In Jersey City, most businesses have reopened as well. Businesses such as Edward's Steakhouse, Tommy 2 Scoops, and Skylark on the Hudson vowed to re-open in the new year after major repairs have been completed. Michael Anthony's, which is located on a pier in the Newport area, re-opened after having been closed for 14 days.
New jobs on the horizon
For individuals trying to support their families, jobs are on the way.
West New York did its part by sponsoring a job fair in November at which around 50 companies accepted resumes and offered advice to interested job seekers.
Overstock Rugs came to Secaucus in September, landing on 20 Wood Ave.
A new supermarket, Metropolitan Citymarket, plans to open in the spring at the Xchange development.
North Bergen kept pace by welcoming JLA Floor Contractors Corp. and new restaurant MPS (Mom's Pop Shop) Café, both of which opened in September. MPS's location in the busy Broadway district is in close range of Robert Fulton School, so it's likely to see steady business.
In February, an educational company, Pearson, announced they will be the anchor tenant in a 14-story, 500,000-square-foot building on Hoboken's south waterfront. Pearson will relocate 900 employees from its current offices in Upper Saddle River and Old Tappan. The project will result in 600 construction jobs as well.
In the Meadowlands, neighbors are looking forward to the completion of the gigantic retail and recreation project formerly known as Xanadu, now named American Dream. The project on Route 3 in East Rutherford is expected to add 4,000 permanent full-time jobs. The completion date has not been set.
Financial problems have bedeviled the project over the years, but it has slowly but steadily progressed. The project is eligible to receive a $350 million tax break under the state's Economic and Redevelopment Growth program once it resumes.
According to an article in the periodical Good News for Builders, "Ugly Mega Project Gets New Look and New Lease on Life," upon completion, direct wages will be in excess of $120 million a year for the full-time jobs. According to a report, there will be 19,000 temporary jobs during the construction phase.
While businesses like Harmon Cove Outlet Center and Daffy's Inc. closed their doors in Secaucus, other stores are staying. Children's Place relocated to 210 Meadowlands Parkway and reopened for business on Dec. 20.
Prato Men's Wear Outlet will be opening soon at 210 Meadowlands Parkway.
Hartz Mountain is also in negotiations to relocate Gymboree, Van Heusen and Bass from the Harmon Cove Outlets on Fifth Street to 210 Meadowlands Parkway. Lenox and East West Bridals was recently relocated within the Harmon Cove Development and are now open for business.
In addition, the Perfume & Cosmetic Outlet and Candyland were relocated to the Plaza at Harmon Meadow in Hartz's mixed use development, and will open soon.
Large events should spur revenue, tourists
Xanadu won't be the only tourist destination in the Meadowlands.
Upcoming events such as Super Bowl 2014 and Wrestle Mania 2013 will bring thousands of tourists to the area, filling hotels and restaurants.
This past June, travel and tourism professionals from New York and North Jersey were invited to network to find out how to take advantage of local opportunities for the upcoming events. The gathering led to the conception of tourism packages for businesses throughout Hudson County and beyond.
Some hotels are sold out for Super Bowl weekend. In Hudson County, the hotels are concentrated in Jersey City, Secaucus, and North Bergen, with one in Weehawken and one in Hoboken. Local residents have also contributed by offering rooms in their apartments for rent during Super Bowl 2014.
An estimated 150,000 out-of-town visitors are expected in the area during the event.

The South Carolina Budget and Control Board violated the constitution when it voted to split the cost of increases in public workers' health insurance premiums between employers and employees, an attorney argued before the state Supreme Court on Wednesday.
"The General Assembly alone has the power to tax and spend," Allen Nickles told justices, saying the panel infringed on the separation of powers when it raised rates on both by 4.6 percent.
Nickles represents public workers who are suing the Budget and Control Board over its August vote to split the cost of the increases. Lawmakers had already agreed to fully cover the premium hikes as part of a larger compromise on worker pay, seeking to provide workers who had gone four years without a raise with a noticeable increase in their paychecks.
The final budget increased most state workers' salaries by 3 percent, but also required them to contribute more toward their retirement. It also distributed the necessary $20.6 million to agencies, school districts and public colleges to fully cover premium hikes.
But Gov. Nikki Haley, chairwoman of the board, convinced a majority to disregard the budget and split the cost of the hikes between employers and workers. The board ultimately voted 3-2 to raise rates on both by 4.6 percent starting Jan. 1. On average, agencies will pay an extra $19 monthly, while employees and retirees will pay $7 more.
Some public employees sued, saying that the panel lacked the authority to raise premiums in spite of lawmakers' action.
"The Budget and Control Board is empowered only to act within its delegated authority," Nickles said Wednesday. "Where the heck do the Budget and Control Board … get the authority to substitute their judgment for the General Assembly?"
If the board's vote is deemed invalid, the ruling would automatically apply to the more than 234,000 public workers and retirees who have health insurance through the state health plan, Nickles has said. More than 400,000 residents are covered through the plan, when including spouses and children.
Mitchell Brown, an attorney representing the Budget and Control Board, told the court that lawmakers could have submitted a proviso directing the money to be spent in a certain way but didn't.
"There is a pot of money available to spend, but there is not a mandate to spend it," Brown said.
Chief Justice Jean Toal questioned Brown, wondering that, if the court ruled that the Budget and Control Board could reconfigure state spending in the absence of such specific instructions from state lawmakers, then millions of dollars in funds could be called into question.
Justices have blocked the increase from taking effect until they decide the case, which likely be in several months. Proposed legislation would keep premiums the same throughout 2013 regardless of the board's decision.

Phillies - 001 002 000 - 3 6 0MVP: Shemp (8-for-13, 3 HR, 8 RBI; 6 RBI in Game 6).
Yankees - 022 030 00x - 7 8 0
Two old goats out there doing the best they can and having fun with it. I don't have enough words to describe how excited I am about being here. This is just a great gift to me.
[T]here have been 57 previous best-of-seven World Series that reached a Game Six. In the sixth contest*, the trailing [team] has amassed an impressive record of 35-22. Not too shabby. Actually, it was achieved in a very odd manner. The first two dozen such games were split evenly 12-12 between leaders and trailers. The most recent 18 games have been likewise split down the middle, 50% each. However, from 1955 to 1975, 15 World Series reached Game Six - and the trailing team went 14-1 in those games. Only in 1959 did the Series end in the sixth contest. Weird.
[*:Note: for purposes of this research, the tie in the 1912 World Series never happened. Thus Game Eight is considered Game Seven, and so on down the line).]
Anyhow, that's only half the battle. After going 35-22 in Game Six, the survivors went 17-18 in Game Seven. Overall then, teams trailing 3 games to 2 in a best of seven World Series go 17-40 in their quest for the World Championship, so odds are a bit over one-third.

ROCKFORD — The first railroad line to reach the Forest City in 1852 will host passenger trains again in 2015.
Gov. Pat Quinn, Sen. Steve Stadelman, leaders of Union Pacific Railroad, Illinois Department of Transportation Secretary Ann Schneider and area mayors announced the pact Thursday.
"Beginning this spring and summer, we will build passenger rail from Chicago to Elgin to Huntley to Belvidere and Rockford," Quinn told about 75 people at a news conference at Davis Park.
The train will start running in 2015, with one train a day each way. A second train will be added in 2016.
Quinn first promised a train for Rockford in 2010, but dealing with the Canadian National Railway proved frustrating.
"They wanted way too much money," Quinn said, so the governor began talking to UP, which was more favorable to the idea of running passenger trains on its route into Rockford.
State infrastructure money will pay for the $233 million project, Quinn said. The route is the one Rockford and Belvidere leaders originally wanted, before the state chose the southern CN route through Genoa.
The UP route will connect to Metra tracks at Big Timber, just west of Elgin, and the train will end at Union Station in Chicago. A schedule was not announced.
Providing service west of Rockford isn't possible on the UP because its tracks west of Rockford were torn up in the 1970s and early 1980s. The right of way became a hiking/biking trail. Quinn said he'll continue talks with CN to continue the train on to Freeport, Galena and Dubuque.
Lance Fritz, UP's president and chief operating officer, said the railroad "is very happy to be able to take an underutilized line and refurbish it so, if at some point we would have an opportunity to see increased freight traffic, we would be able to do that."
UP, one of six major railroads that operate in the U.S., has 4,000 employees in Illinois and recently hired 200, he said.
The UP serves the Fiat-Chrysler plant in Belvidere on the line but has few customers west of there.
Amtrak, which will own the rolling stock and engines, "wants to run at 79 mph," Fritz said, which will require signalization on the "dark," or unsignaled, line as it reaches Rockford. Schneider the train initially will be restricted to 59 mph, with the speed increasing to 79 mph in 2016.
Mayor Larry Morrissey said the week has been an exceptional one for Rockford, with aldermen giving the go-ahead Monday for the Amerock/Ziock hotel project.
"We're here to celebrate because of the state of Illinois partnering with us in so many areas," said Morrissey, who talked about all the downtown projects taking place with state support, including rebuilds of the Morgan Street bridge and South Main and West State streets, and the redevelopment of the old Ingersoll building into an indoor sports facility.
"The governor has been a huge supporter for us," the mayor concluded.
"Rockford's on the verge of accomplishing great things," Stadelman, D-Rockford, said. "We need to change the dialogue from what we can't do to what we can do."
The city originally intended to build a passenger station on the CN line at South Main Street and Kent Creek. Morrissey said a new downtown site will have to be found on the UP line.
In the meantime, the train will stop at the old Chicago Northwestern Depot, 703 Seventh St., where thousands of immigrants from Europe, especially Sweden, first set foot in Rockford.
Rockford last saw Amtrak service in 1981. Passenger service on the UP line was discontinued in the late 1940s.
Illinois' state-supported Amtrak lines saw record ridership of 2.2 million in 2013.

Marvin Durboraw
Warehouse Manager, Williamsport, MD
I didn't really have much interest in becoming a lead or supervisor when I first started working as an order selector at Dot a little more than six years ago. But, after the birth of my daughter, I started looking at ways I could better myself for her.
I started concentrating on being a better employee and doing what was right, instead of just getting me out the door with a paycheck. After two years as an order selector, I became a warehouse lead and started working with the warehouse manager to develop a personal development plan to get me ready for the next steps in my career. My PDP helped me focus in on what I wanted to achieve, and I became a supervisor three years later.
There are a lot of warehouses in this area of Maryland, and I've pretty much worked at all of them. When I came to Dot I realized, if I was going to make a career in warehousing, this was the place I was going to do it. It's hard to explain, but you're treated more like a person than a number to get the job done.
Now, I've started taking college classes and am looking to continue my Dot career even further.
