DES MOINES, Iowa (KGO) --An Iowa zoo welcomed its newest addition - a baby rhino. She is just one of seven black rhinos around the world to be born this year in a zoo.
The calf is an eastern black rhino, which the World Wildlife Fund listed as critically endangered.
She was born last Tuesday at the Des Moines Blank Park Zoo.

Roque Santa Cruz could end his Manchester City nightmare with a move to Championship side Leeds United.
That's according to his father, Aproniano Santa Cruz who speaking in an interview with Paraguayan newspaper ABC spoke of his son's desire to leave the Etihad Stadium and the clubs interested in the former Paraguay international.
Aproniano is reported to have said of this son, "He has a contract with City until June 2013 and is available to the club but it is up to them what they do. They are looking for another club for him because Roque wants to go to another team where he can have more chances to play. There are teams interested and if he had not had so many injuries there would be even more teams,"
Cruz Senior then went on to specifically mention Simon Grayson's Leeds side saying "The second division is very competitive in England, with powerful teams who were in the top division and have huge stadiums, like Leeds United, but the future will be decided by Manchester City."
Injury has plagued Santa Cruz's City career and the striker is well down the pecking order however interest in the former Bayern Munich and Blackburn forward remains strong.

The day after Gov. Steve Beshear told a joint session of the Kentucky General Assembly he won't support pension reform without reforming the tax code to provide more money for education, the Republican-controlled Senate passed a bill to try to rein in pension costs.
The bill, sponsored by majority leader Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown, would end cost-of-living increases for pensioners, move new hires into a hybrid, cash-balance plan; and states the legislature's "intent" to fully fund annually required contributions to the funds.
Kentucky maintains multiple pension plans — for state and county employees, for teachers, and for Kentucky State Police. Additionally, some quasi-government agency employees are allowed to participate. In total, the plans face a $30 billion unfunded liability.
Thayer's bill and its provisions are based on the recommendations of a bi-partisan Senate and House task force that studied the issue and recommended the changes. It addresses the Kentucky Employees Retirement System (KERS) that has an $18 billion unfunded liability but does not affect the teachers' plan.
Several factors over a couple of decades led to the problem. In flush times during the 1990s, lawmakers enriched retiree benefits and then, in tight times, lawmakers deferred making the annual payments in order to fund other services.
During that time the plans also suffered investment losses during two recessions as well.
That makes the recommendation to begin fully funding the system beginning with next year's budget critical. Next year's cost is estimated to be about $327 million, though not all of that will have to come from the General Fund. Some funds will be paid from the road fund and federal funds for employees paid by those sources.
But the Democratic-controlled House and Speaker Greg Stumbo, D-Prestonsburg, are hesitant to approve the changes without a predetermined plan to fund the ARC.
And Beshear wants lawmakers to pass some form of tax reform to generate more revenues before taking on pension reform. So even though the measure passed the Senate 33-5 with four Democrats and one Republican voting no, it faces an uncertain future in the House.
Those were reasons given for no votes by Sen. Tom Buford, R-Nicholasville, and two of the Democrats, Walter Blevins, Morehead, and Robin Webb of Grayson.
"You've got to show how you're going to pay for this," Buford said on the floor. "You've got to show a little backbone."
Buford reminded his colleagues that Beshear, on Wednesday night during the annual State of the Commonwealth Speech, wants pension reform and tax reform to be linked. The governor also vowed not to allow education to go further underfunded to pay for a pension fix.
"We should do the funding at the same time to show the will to do it," Blevins said after the vote.
Webb recalled for colleagues that she was once a $16,000 a year attorney for the state and that employees "work hard and they've earned their benefits." She conceded her vote was largely "a symbolic one."
Even supporters of the measure expressed reservations about not coming up with the money.
"We're not directly dealing with the underfunded portion of our system for us to truly succeed at this task before us," said minority leader R.J. Palmer, D-Winchester, said during a floor speech, although he voted for the bill. "But it's a very positive first step and it's worthy of our support today."
Thayer said he and some Republicans would've liked to go farther — moving new hires into a 401-K style plan — but he said "politics is the art of the possible and it is possible for the General Assembly to pass this bill."
He said lawmakers have put off action on the problem for too long already and pointed out the plan does not change benefits for current employees or retirees.
"We must do something and act now," Thayer said. Otherwise the state faces "fiscal calamity."
Jim Carroll, spokesperson for a state employee retiree group, said the group is "bitterly disappointed" the Senate passed the bill.
He said the bill's call for implementation of the cash-balance plan by July 1 is impractical and the bill "utterly fails to address the massive unfunded liability."
Carroll endorsed Stumbo's idea of a dedicated funding source.

Multitask with cat-like reflexes
npm install -g flinch
Flinch provides an easy to use API for blocking and signaling on events. When you have multiple terminal sessions open and need to queue up long running commands, flinch comes to the rescue.
Organizing your code into several, small and reusable packages is great. Unfortunately, you may find yourself needing to build and run tasks in several repositories at once. When that happens, things can get difficult. Anyone who's tried to use Git submodules can testify to that.
Flinch exposes a few simple commands
flinch serverspawns an HTTP server that acts as the mediator for event blocking and signaling
flinch on <event>will block until the specified event has fired
flinch at <event>will signal that the specified event has occurred, causing anything blocking on it to exit with a status code of 0
flinch gg <event>will signal that the specified event has failed, causing anything blocking on it to exit with a status code of 1
flinch flushwill clear the list of events the server remembers having been fired at
By default,
flinch at and
flinch gg announcements have a TTL of 10 minutes,
which helps to alleviate race condition concerns of
flinch on not being run
until after the event is flinched at. This time can be explicitly set via the
--ttl flag.
Usage: flinch [options] [command]
server [options] start a flinch server
s alias for server command
on <event> block on the specified event
at [options] <event> announce that the specified event has occurred
gg [options] <event> announce that the specified event has failed
flush clear list of announced events
f alias for flush command
-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number
-p, --port [port] specify which port to use [Default: 3030]
Options for server command:
-g, --growl enable growl notifications
Options for gg and at commands:
-t, --ttl [ttl] set time to live for event success announcement in minutes
Contrived usage example
After starting
flinch server, you may do something like this:
# Terminal 1make clean && make && make test && flinch at model# Terminal 2make clean && flinch on model && make && flinch at worker# Terminal 3rake clean && flinch on model && ./some_script && flinch on worker && rake deploy
How it works
Flinch works by having an HTTP server running in the background that acts as a
mediator between blockers and signalers.
flinch on blockers will poll the
server once per second for updates on the event they're waiting on.
flinch at
flinch gg will send a POST request to the server to announce the event
status. That's all there is to it.

Hey kids, Dink Floyd.
- WHY did Oakland even bother showing up to their series with the Yankees? They got 1 hit today. Thanks for nothing.
- DID everybody welcome new commenter "Bvthurtin"? Is that Russian? In any case I hope you said hello because he's never coming back. I think because his caps lock got stuck.
- WHO'S pumped for the big Indians/Mariners series? Oh well. At least there's FISTER.
- ARE there any meaningful games tonight? Sorta, there's this makeup game for the Phillies and Rockies. Don't look now but it could be a memorable Roxtember. They've won 7 of 8 and are 5.5 back of the Phils in the WC.
- WHAT is the funniest thing you've heard about that mindbending Jan Brewer video? I'm going with this Seth Meyers tweet. Her potential reelection reminds me of the old adage: "Fool me... can't get fooled again."
Good night princes and princesses of Kingdom Shrimp. Your love makes me whole. Same WoW channel.

How Do I Deal With So Many Shows? Your Pressing TV Questions, Answered
We've lost TV as a general option for ingroup/outgroup signaling.
Get stay tuned delivered every week.
Welcome back to Stay Tuned, Vulture's TV advice column. Each Wednesday, Margaret Lyons answers whatever TV questions are weighing on your heart. Well, your TV heart, anyway. To submit your own questions, you can email firstname.lastname@example.com, leave a comment, or tweet @margeincharge with the hashtag #staytuned.
Looking at the fall TV schedule and knowing I'm still not caught up on shows from last season, I'm already overwhelmed. How do you prioritize? Is there just too much TV? How do you watch it all? —TA
You don't watch it all. You can't! No one can. I can't, and it's my job to try. You prioritize it the way you prioritize reading books, or watching movies, or trying recipes. It's "too much" in the sense that no one person could possibly watch all of it, but no one person can eat at every restaurant or see every painting or hear every song. Of course there's too much TV. That's good.
And I want more. Not just longer seasons, ideally, but more shows about women. More shows about people of color. Queer people. People who use wheelchairs. How about shows written and directed by people in marginalized classes? Do we have too many of those? Hell, no, we do not. Do we have too many bizarre, sensationalized violent-crime shows on garbage channels? Yeah, for my taste, but someone out there wants to watch both Evil Kin and Blood Relatives on ID, even though they are the exact same show and also horrendous. Shine on, you marvelous weirdo.
The feeling of "too much" is often a feeling of disconnection because part of this massive increase in the amount of programming is the erosion of the expectation that any two people watch the same series. We're not all watching Survivor or whatever anymore, so elevator chitchat is, I guess, more difficult (I am a sullen and silent elevator rider, so I don't know). We've lost TV as a general option for ingroup/outgroup signaling: There's no one set of TV habits that seem "normal" now, and no one set of shows that can serve as cues about who and how you are — both in terms of popular, mainstream shows serving as gathering points, but also fringe or cult shows feeling like secret clubhouses.
Your plan of attack for the fall is just to jump in with the new shows. Catch up on returning favorites if you want, but your TV schedule is not supposed to stress you out. Maybe just declare TV bankruptcy and start anew?
I've just started watching Alias for the first time, and while I am totally loving it (up to the beginning of season two so far), there have been several instances where I've been distracted by the fact that Sydney goes into dangerous situations without a gun, unlike her numerous male counterparts. I'm personally very anti-gun, but I find it pretty sexist that a woman, as kickass as she is, isn't given every protection that her male colleagues are when entering a dangerous situation. My friend who grew up watching Alias, Buffy, and Dark Angel, among other similar shows, argues that it's an empowering trope and that these leading ladies are just too awesome to need a gun. What do you think? Is it sexist not to give Sydney a gun? Or is it empowering? —Amanda
Oy, are those my only two choices? It's neither: It's narratively helpful. And it's cool! It's like Indiana Jones — yeah, he uses a gun once in a while, but it's way more fun to watch him whip stuff.
And to be clear, over the course of Alias, Sydney uses guns a lot. Like, a ton. If you don't want to spoil yourself, don't click this, but here is a list of "Kills by Sydney Bristow," and about 60 percent are with guns.
The reason Sydney doesn't use guns as much in season one is that guns are not super-easy to tell a story with. When we see Sydney's hand-to-hand combat skills, the way she improvises weapons based on what's around her, her dexterity with rigging explosives — we learn stuff about her and her talents and the depth of her knowledge. We also see her emotional endurance, those moments in the fight where she thinks, Oof, I am tired … and yet I battle on! and then we love her. Once we get onboard with Sydney, then the gunplay starts making more story sense; we have access to Sydney's interior life in other ways as the show progresses.
As for Buffy, I always assumed it was that guns are not particularly mythological. Demons, vampires, dragons, a She-Mantis: Do you picture those creatures with guns? I don't. The iconography is all swords and pitchforks and crossbows and whatnot. I don't picture Satan lording over hell with a rifle in his hands. (Again, firearms are present in the Buffyverse, so this is just in general.)
Finally, re: Dark Angel: I ... have never watched Dark Angel, and I'm never going to.
My question regards Suits, which, for reasons I don't quite understand, I started watching this season. So far, two of the major story threads involve:
- Two wealthy, powerful white dudes trading a female subordinate back and forth like property while also talking about her as if she is literally magical, and
- One of these same wealthy white dudes being threatened with losing some small percentage of his exorbitant compensation to some kind of pay-equity scheme (about which we are supposed to be outraged).
This leads me to wonder: Who (besides me) watches Suits? Do people like it? How/why? —Dianne
I watch Suits! I love Suits, but this season — blegh. That show really overestimates how much I care about "the firm" and underestimates how much I care about kissing. I care zero — hard zero — about corporate takeovers and who owns what shit. I care infinity about kissing. Also, they are so mean to Louis, it causes me genuine distress. I always hated on Parks and Rec when they were mean to Jerry, but he didn't seem to mind. Louis, however, does mind, and yet Harvey is a monster to him. Sometimes Donna is, too.
Here's what I liked about Suits: It's sharp, and there's some solid, Sorkin-lite banter. The characters are all smart. They are all beautifully if impractically dressed. Early on, the show's ability to weave romantic and professional tension was terrific. There was an edge to it, an energy that made it one of those summer shows you find yourself falling for. And, hey, the show is maybe responsible for the resurgence in popularity of the name Harvey. What a great name! It was ranked 858th in 2011; it's now 493rd. Thank you, Suits.
Alas, it seems Suits is just out of juice. It's had a good run, and there's a sixth season coming (yipes), but it's burned through its premise and hasn't figured out a new path. What would happen if everyone found out Mike's big secret? the show wondered for way, way too long. But the answer was, "It would be fine." What would happen if Mike and Rachel really got together, ayeeee? the show teased us. And the answer was, "It would be fine." Okay, what if Donna and Harvey have just more bullshit and never get together, except in a flashback, and even then, boooooo? Guess what: It's fine.
Everything being fine is not much of a story, and so all the conflict now feels arbitrary and replaceable because it's not character-driven. I'll probably stick it out one more season, but at least half of that is because I think we might get a Josh-and-Donna endgame for Harvey and Donna, which is what I want.

Last Friday I decided to bake a Marching Band-themed cake for a big Birthday party. A bunch of us from University Marching Band still keep in touch -- and a few of us also have May Birthdays -- so we decided to combine all of the Birthdays into one big party.
I scoured the internet for Marching Band cake inspiration and I found some amazing creations:
Music Radar
Cake Central
Deviant Art
I decided to make a Bass Drum cake. I baked two cakes and stuck them together with a filling. Then, I flipped the massive cake on its side, like a bass drum, but one half of the cake decided to almost fall apart. I quickly changed my mind and made a Snare Drum instead. I also had a hard time icing because of the crumbly cake, but in the end, the cake somewhat resembled a drum. And drum roll please.......
The drum sticks are actually shortbread cookies painted with black food colouring.
I also made adorable shortbread cookies with Royal Icing faces for all of the May babies:
I placed the cookies around the cake and voila!

Geelong region water storages have topped the elusive 90% mark for the first time in more than nine years. The last time storages were above 90% was in December 2001 (prior to that: November 1996).
Rainfall at the West Barwon reservoir, in the Otway Ranges, has been well above average this year. July rainfall was the highest since 1978.
Storages in the Moorabool system are collectively 97% full, the healthiest they have been for over 15 years.
Lal Lal reservoir began spilling at the end of last month, the first time it has overflowed since December 1996. (Lal Lal reservoir, south of Ballarat, is jointly managed by Barwon Water and Central Highland Water).
Lal Lal and Korweinguboora reservoirs are both at 100% capacity.

It's a funny thing — when a band names themselves after a genre they purport to be working in, the listener may approach the band with unwarranted expectations. It's only on rare occasions throughout the course of Another Sound Is Dying, that dub, in the classic sense, ever surfaces. Punk Trio, Metal Trio, or Thrash Trio seem more accurate most of the time, in a strict genre sense. It's only after the listener puts on a pair of headphones, that it becomes evident that this band does owe as much credit to King Tubby as they do to Bad Brains.
The stuff is raw, powerful and unbelievably precise. Owing to their collective experience as session players (drummer Joe Tomino, bassist Stu Brooks, and guitarist D.P. Holmes have recorded and/or toured with the likes of Gnarls Barkley, The Who, 50 Cent, Mos Def, Common, The Fugees, Tupac, Matisyahu, and Gogol Bordello) it's their experience with Mike Patton (Mr. Bungle, etc.) that really defines their style. The trio stood as the only regular members of Patton's project Peeping Tom. Accordingly, Patton guests on the politically-charged "No Flag," which stands alone on the instrumental-heavy album. Through all the meaty riffing and stop-on-a-dime transitions, it's producer/engineer Joel Hamilton who truly stands out, arranging all the bedlam across sonic space.
Not for the faint of heart, this is the brand of reggae (if you can even call it such) that is more concerned with revolution than peaceably abiding in one love. Dark, aggressive, and occasionally cocky, if anyone's taking the genre new places, it's these guys.

From Lee's Summit, Missouri, USA:
Can diabetes destroy the tissues or ligaments surrounding the knees?
Diabetes can involve the skeleton, especially in the hands and feet where there are tendons that slide through tunnels that attach to digits. (When this occurs, there is also an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.) The large joints in the hip and the knees receive so much wear and tear that their involvement from diabetes is less clear, especially if subjects are overweight.

Louisiana lawmakers have approved funding to continue the Greater New Orleans Community Health Connection, a network of 40 community clinics serving the area's uninsured.
At the recently-concluded session, Legislators allocated $10 million from the state budget, which will enable the program to draw down an additional $16 million from the federal government to help care for low-income residents who don't qualify for Medicaid and don't have private health care.
The measure now goes before Gov. Bobby Jindal for approval.
"We're thrilled to see the state legislature fund this important healthcare program, and we're hopeful the governor will sign it into law in the coming days," said a statement from Susan Todd, executive director of 504HealthNet, a network of 19 nonprofit and governmental organizations who participate in the program.
Continued funding for the clinics this year was not assured, with current year money due to end in August. This was the second year funding for the program appeared to be in limbo.
Supporters rallied to save funding, writing legislators about the potential impact of losing preventative and mental health care for 53,000 people in Orleans, Jefferson, Plaquemines and St. Bernard parishes.
"We appreciate everyone who worked to get the funding passed," Todd's statement said.
The Greater New Orleans Community Health Connection is essentially a Medicaid waiver that covers primary and mental health care visits for qualifying patients.
Many of these patients would have been able to obtain health care coverage through a Medicaid expansion provision allowed by the Affordable Care Act. But Jindal and many state lawmakers have opposed expanding that federal health care program in Louisiana. The governor has argued that a Medicaid expansion would shift too many patients from private to public insurance, and would cost the state too much.

Your cart is empty.:( Let's fix that!Close
Perhaps one of the greatest challenges of parenthood is dealing with just how rapidly children change, and especially during the early childhood years. It seems that just as you're beginning to get a handle on how to deal with your child as a two year old, he's now a three year old! Not only that, but if you have a second (or third) child you soon discover that your prior experience with a two year old often has little practical benefit for this entirely different child, with her very different style and personality.
Many of the hundreds of parents I've worked with and counseled over more than three decades want so much to do this parenting job just right, that they often set a very high standard for themselves. In striving for perfection they read every book they can find on parenting and early childhood development, and often labor over every decision and intervention. In following this route they all too often miss the bigger picture, and instead get overly focused on each tiny detail of their child's growth and development.
At the other end of the continuum are those parents who go into the experience with little knowledge or understanding, and instead rely almost totally on their instincts. These folks often find themselves acting and behaving toward their children much the same as their own parents did with them. There's no downside to this strategy for those who had the benefit of highly thoughtful and enlightened parenting, but in my experience this is a very small group indeed!
So, as with most of life's big challenges, a balanced approach is usually what works best. For sure educate yourself on the basics of child development to increase your understanding of what your child is experiencing during the various stages of her growth. But resist the inclination to overdo it, which can easily lead to confusion and the paralysis of over analysis. And every parents is almost certainly going to call on their own experience of being raised. But the wise parent will discriminate between those experiences in their own childhood which had a positive impact, and those which are better avoided.
Having a relationship with a child is just like having a relationship with any other person. Each child has his or her own unique personality, temperament, interests, needs and feelings. I always urge parents to try to imagine what their child is experiencing in any situation, and as a first step to honor and be respectful of the child's feelings and position. From the child's perspective, just feeling understood and the experience of a parent's loving empathy is often all that's required. And if all else fails remember the golden rule, and try to respond to your child as you yourself would want to be treated.
Years later what your now adult child is likely to remember and benefit from is not whatever discipline approach you adopted, or theory of child development you adhered to. Instead she will recall that you were present, that you took the time and interest to cultivate an intimate relationship with her, and that you loved her without condition.
Beautifully said and heard - I might add that "informed empathy" goes quite far in many different areas as well. Thanks for your reassuring words, and it means so much more coming from someone who knows children in all their variety such as Mr. Grillo.

Loving Vincent
Thursday December 7th, 2017 at 7 PMEvent Website
DOROTA KOBIELA & HUGH WEICHMAN · UK/Poland · 2017 · 95 mins · NOT RATED
– Melbourne International Film Festival
Stand in front of a painting by Vincent van Gogh and your brain starts to react in strange ways. Even today, more than a century after the artist's death, the brushstrokes pack an almost psychedelic energy, vibrating with an intensity that seems to have sprung directly from van Gogh's tortured personal life. Now imagine staring at one of these paintings for 90 minutes straight — or crazier still, watching a series of them actually start to move. Such was the vision Polish animator Dorota Kobiela had for this truly awe-inspiring portrait of the great Dutch artist that boasts the distinction of being "the world's first fully painted feature film." That means every one of the nearly 65,000 frames in this near-lunatic labor of love was rendered by hand with oil paints, following a style intended to mimic that of the master — which has precisely the effect you might imagine, pulling audiences into the delirious, hyper-sensual world suggested by van Gogh's oeuvre.
The artist himself has been dead a year when the story begins, so we aren't seeing things through his eyes so much as in ersatz homage to his style, where bold colors and thick, energetic strokes of paint transform traditional live-action footage into living tableaux, rendered all the richer by Clint Mansell's gorgeous score. It's an impressive conceit, and one that allows us to float through van Gogh's "Starry Night Over the Rhone" or pop in for a drink at the "Café Terrace at Night" — just two of nearly 130 actual paintings that Kobiela weaves into the relatively conventional detective story (of all things!) that frames this one-of-a-kind work of art. --Variety

1989 .... 2008. Yes, this was a 19 year reunion for me, and for some one of us it had even been longer (KYS was even beyond the 2 decade mark!). We chose Zanzibar, a new locale at Desa Sri Hartamas, near Fahrenheit, row in between Maybank and True Fitness, for this meeting!
Familiar faces :-) AT, G, JS, TW, KYS, and N too. R appeared a little later to join in the fun.
Cheers bros!
It was brilliant recounting the days when we were in La Salle Klang ... Our first Brother principal, BMW, as well as subsequent headmaster, RM, as well as memories of the canteen (20 cent bowls of noodles!) and cross-country races through Palm Grove, were the hottest topics!
Macallan 12 never tasted so sweet :-) Cheers!

I don't know whether I'm so eager to "kick off" International Picnic Day this year because we had an unusually frigid Winter or because I am sooooo... ready to welcome Summer! I suppose both reasons are somewhat related. No matter! International Picnic Day has arrived and whether you are celebrating Summer or Winter in your little corner of the world, we're going on a picnic!
And, here's a novel way to get you in the Picnic mood courtesy of Betty Crocker's Celebrate cookbook.
Picnic Game 2014
Can you believe it's year six of the Picnic Game? For those of you who are joining us for the first time, the "kick off" of the annual virtual Picnic Game is how we celebrate International Picnic Day here at Months of Edible Celebrations. What? You've never heard of the Picnic Game? Not to worry, there's a terrific sample by Howcast which should give you the general idea. Who knows, it may even bring back some childhood memories:)
Of course, we've added a few of our own tasty nuances:)
Basically, it's very simple. You choose a letter of the alphabet which matches the title of the dish you would like to bring to the picnic and post it on your blog.
The traditional memory game starts when one player recites: "I'm going on a picnic and I'm bringing an ___." (a delicious dish) that starts with the letter A; for instance Apple Pie)
The second player says, "I'm going on a picnic, and I'm bringing an Apple Pie. (the same "A" word(s) the first player used, in this case an Apple Pie) and ___." Here's where you add the B word like, Blueberry Muffins.
Each player recites on their blog what the person before is bringing and adds what they're bringing until we reach the end of the alphabet. Not too difficult, right? Of course, if you have any questions, just leave a comment or email me acalenda [at] gmail [dot] com with Picnic Game in the subject line and I'll do my best to get you toting. If you would like to see any of the previous totes from the past years, I have a Pinterest Picnic Game board you can visit too.
1. Since this is a virtual picnic game, Anyone, Anywhere can play. I do request that recipes be posted in English or have easy access to translation.
2. Choose your letter but don't take too long. The "easy" letters seem to go pretty quickly. Leave a comment on this post with the letter you have chosen. For instance, if you want to bring a dish to the picnic, that begins with the letter "A," your comment must be left before another person chooses that letter. We can only have one letter of the alphabet for each dish. Note: If you would like to choose a backup letter just in case your chosen letter is taken, that would be GREAT too.
3. I will let you know if you can bring your dish to the picnic by leaving a You're Invited! comment on your blog. "You're Invited" will be your signal to grab a copy of the Picnic Game logo above and prepare a post for the Picnic Game Round-Up. If you really want to get a feel for how the Picnic Game is played, and of course set your eyes on some fine looking "baskets", you really should visit last year's International Picnic Day Celebration in honor of National Picnic Month! I'll be putting last year's dishes in the side-bar in the coming days:)
Now, here's the difficult part. Since the Picnic Game is listed in alphabetical order, you may feel a bit like a contortionist trying to get your post up while still leaving room for the letters and delicious looking images that will be preceding yours. Just make a mental note and it should all work out fine. I'm always here for any questions and once we get going, I'll have many samples to show you I'm sure:)
Summary1. Select a recipe that begins with your chosen letter and write a post about it on your blog. You must list what the people before you are bringing. That's why it's called the Picnic Game! I will email you with those links and images, as soon as they are emailed to me.
2. Include the Picnic Day Logo in your post with a link back to this post.
3. Email me at acalenda {at} gmail {dot} com (it would be really nice of you to include Picnic Game in the subject line) In the email please include the following.
a. Your name
b. Your blog's name
c. Your post URL
d. The name of your recipe
e. An image of your dish and also let me know if you give me permission to pass the image along to other picnickers and whether you mind if it is included on Pinterest.
4. If you would like to bring more than one dish to the picnic, you are more than welcome. Just note it in the email and include items C-E for each additional dish.
5. Please email me as soon as you know what you are bringing so I can forward your link to the other picnickers. Please no later than Saturday, June 28, 2013, midnight EST.
6. I will be posting the entire list of Picnic Game recipes by midnight July 1st just in time for National Picnic Month! If for some reason, there are not enough entries by that time, I'll do my best to fill in the blanks.
7. If you would like to host the Picnic Day Game on your blog, and get your visitors involved, be my guest. The more the merrier. Just let me know. (this would require another set of picnic letters from A-Z and a bit of enjoyable work on the part of the hostess:) We'll "link our picnic "blankets" together:)
8. I'll be doing blog updates with available letters and such during the course of "playing."
So, are you ready to play the Picnic Game? Choose a letter, leave a comment and let the toting begin!!!
Just in case you're debating as to whether you want to play the Picnic Game with us, here's a Melon and Ginger Basket to get you in the Picnic mood:)

Many of you have expressed concern about my "on the mend" injuries. Thank you. I'm actually doing much better since finding just the right chiropractor. She's amazing! When the doctors mentioned the word surgery, I knew I had to find a another way. So far, so good. As for my broken toe, it too is on the mend. I'm going to try driving this weekend. We'll see how that goes. Meals have gotten better around here too. Although Marion and I are thrilled to "play" with the Nutribullet, there are just so many meals one can drink! So, I've actually begun to cook no fuss meals without too much trouble. Marion is a huge help with the prep work. Boy, oh boy, can that lady whiz a peeler, lol…So, thank you for your concern. We are doing GREAT and I don't see a problem with keeping up with the Picnic Game this year. Of course, it would be a huge help if picnickers get their letters in as soon as possible:) Louise:)

March Madness & NIT Betting
Mitchell's long 3-pointer with 3.9 seconds capped a wild finish and gave the fourth-seeded Tigers a 58-57 victory over No. 12 seed Texas A&M in the second round of the Atlanta Regional on Saturday.
3-2-1 so far this tourney on all posted plays. The only problem is being able to post all my plays as I make them. With an incredibly busy schedule recently around work and life, making bets and getting to the computer to post them has been very difficult, and might soon get even harded...
Anyway, not to fear, this won't inpact my football picking abilities next season since I'll have a full week to bet and post football picks, but I'm worried that I might not be a goood person to follow for baseball. But I'll still try to post bets as I make them.
Good Luck as always.

A fantasy draft is all about obtaining the most value with each selection. There is value available throughout a draft, and grabbing it is one of the most important keys to a successful fantasy team. This article specifically targets deep sleeper value (players that can be found very late in a fantasy draft). In an attempt to point out this value, we asked our staff to look deeper than the top 160 players and identify players that should significantly outperform their late draft position. These players should be your targets after the 12th round of your draft.
Player with 4 Votes
Ryan Broyles, Lions
Sigmund Bloom: Two ACL tears in two years isn't usually a recipe for success, but Broyles was able to hit the field less than a year after his first injury. Broyles will resume his role as the #2 opposite Calvin Johnson when he returns, which would make him the most neglected #2 in the league - at least by opposing defenses. A late pick of Broyles in early drafts is not risky at all because you can always drop him early in the season if his recovery is not coming along.
Chad Parsons: Broyles was on the verge of having a great second half of the season before another ACL injury derailed his rookie season. Veteran Nate Burleson and rookie Corey Fuller are gaining steam as possible secondary receivers of note behind Calvin Johnson, but Broyles, if healthy, has the most upside of the bunch. Broyles has rehabbed successfully from an ACL injury already in his career and had three games of more than 50 yards during his short stint with significant playing time in 2012.
Mark Wimer: Ryan Broyles has the opportunity to play across from Calvin Johnson this year - if he can get back on the field and stay healthy. Note that Broyles suffered a torn right ACL on December 2, 2012, and underwent reconstructive knee surgery on December 7, 2012. As of May 29, 2013 the team stated that Broyles was making good progress in his rehabilitation, but the team hasn't set a return date for Broyles just yet. Broyles did participate in individual drills during the Lions late May OTAs. However, the guy currently penciled in as #2 across from Johnson, Nate Burleson, has missed 12 out of a possible 48 games since arriving in Detroit, including 10 games lost last season due to a broken leg. If Broyles can get into training camp and looks good he'll likely have a shot to crack the starting lineup at some point during the 2013 season.
Jason Wood: Broyles entered a tailor made situation last year as a rookie, for the NFL's most pass happy team yet still desperate for a consistent threat to line up opposite Calvin Johnson. Broyles was just rounding into shape, posting a 6-catch, 100-yard game against the vaunted Texans defense, when he tore his ACL. Broyles is still recovering, but barring unforeseen complications, the door remains wide open for his stepping into a major role at some point early this season.
Player with 3 Votes
Donnie Avery, Chiefs
Stephen Holloway: Donnie Avery has had reasonable success in three of his four NFL seasons. He is coming off career highs for catches with 60 and receiving yardage with 781. He is an excellent addition for the Chiefs who have Dwayne Bowe and role players. He should compete with Jon Baldwin, the team's 2011 first round pick who has caught only 41 passes in two seasons. The quarterback play will definitely be improved with Alex Smith coming off three successive seasons where he has improved his completion percentage and ypa statistics. I think that Avery's consistent play will win out over Baldwin and he will be the Smith's second favorite target in 2013.
Jeff Pasquino: Donnie Avery re-built part of his career last year in Indianapolis, where the former Ram and Titan pulled in 60 of 131 targets for 781 yards and three scores last season. Now Avery finds himself penciled in as the second starter for the Kansas City Chiefs this season for new head coach Andy Reid, where he will compliment Dwayne Bowe and be a deep threat for new quarterback Alex Smith. Avery has great upside if he can hold down this role and can get anywhere close to his 2012 numbers with the Chiefs as he is often available as one of the last wide receivers in fantasy drafts this year.
Jason Wood: Donnie Avery has never lived up to his position as the highest drafted receiver in the 2008 draft class, and has never finished higher than WR39 among fantasy ranks. Yet, he looked excellent in a defined role for a surprising Colts team in 2012 (60 receptions for 781 yards) and parlayed that into a new deal in Kansas City. New head coach Andy Reid has fielded consistently productive offenses and while Avery will initially be looked upon as a WR3, I'm not sold on Jonathan Baldwin who is his only road block to a starting role.
Jeremy Kerley, Jets
Adam Harstad: On a terrible Jets squad, Kerley very quietly put up more than twice as much receiving yardage as the Jets' second-leading receiver. If he can remain New York's top receiver going into his second season, he should get an opportunity to improve on last year's 800 yards receiving.
Jeff Haseley: I don't foresee Jeremy Kerley as someone who will win your league, but he is someone that I believe will outperform his ADP of WR 80. The Jets have Santonio Holmes and Stephen Hill on the outside, but Kerley will see plenty of looks in the slot as the WR3. There are not many receivers available late in the draft that have 50+ catch expectations. Kerley is someone who can provide just that.
Andy Hicks: Jeremy Kerley is currently getting drafted among the journeyman, question mark rookies and underachievers. That is a mistake. Kerley was one of the few bright lights in the Jets offense last year and didn't really become a factor until week 5. Sure the unhappy and frequently injured Santonio Holmes is back, and the green as grass Stephen Hill will be there too, but Kerley will be the only stable receiver for whoever the Jets throw out as their QB. I wouldn't expect starting numbers just yet, but his upside is as a WR3, which is fantastic for where he is getting drafted.
Andre Roberts, Cardinals
James Brimacombe: Heading into his fourth NFL season, Roberts is often being overlooked as he has both Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd ahead of him on the depth chart. Would you be shocked if I told you Roberts was the 39th overall ranked wide receiver last year? He ended the year with 64 receptions, 759 yards, and 5 touchdowns for a player that is pretty much just an afterthought.
Heath Cummings: Roberts was the #1 scoring receiver for the Cardinals last season. Let that sink in. While it's a testament to the down year that Larry Fitzgerald had, it's also illustrates how far the fourth year receiver has come. I expect a bounce back from Fitzgerald and a better second season from Michael Floyd, but that certainly doesn't mean that you should forget about Roberts, especially in PPR.
Matt Waldman: Michael Floyd is one of the "it" wide receivers this year as the popular fantasy sleeper and I agree with the take. However, it has been said for a couple of years that Roberts is capable of becoming a special slot receiver. Now that the Cardinals have the quarterback and head coach to execute at a higher level, I think Roberts will continue to out-play his PPR value. He was the No.31 WR last year and I wouldn't be surprised if this Cardinals offense supports three fantasy receivers – Fitzgerald as an elite No.1, Floyd as a low-end WR2, and Roberts as a low-end WR3 or high-end flex.
Players with 2 Votes
Stephen Hill, Jets
Jeff Tefertiller: Stephen Hill has the potential to be a fantasy WR2 this season. Santonio Holmes is still recovering from the foot injury and Hill could quickly emerge as the top receiver for the Jets. He has the upside to hit big if he can put it all together.
Jason Wood: Stephen Hill had a rookie season to forget (21 for 252 with 3 TDs) due to both circumstances in (studying the playbook, handling the pressure) and out (Mark Sanchez' quarterbacking, an inept offensive game plan) of his control. Yet, at 6'4", 215 lbs. his physical tools continue to entice. As long as his knee swelling abates from his late season injury, Hill's fantasy fates look bright as new OC Marty Mornhinweg has proven time and again to be an effective steward of the passing game.
Greg Little, Browns
Sigmund Bloom: We associate Little with the dropsies, but he actually had a relatively error-free second half of 2012. He came on to 22 balls for 287 yards and a pair of scores in the last five games of the season, which projects out to solid WR3/flex numbers. If Brandon Weeden takes to the Norv Turner offense and Little makes the most of the additional downfield routes he and Josh Gordon are excited about, then the third-year wide receiver could have the classic breakout that we used to expect from young pass catchers at this point in their careers.
Matt Waldman: It's been easy to be hard on Little, who has great ability but underachieved in Cleveland due to suffering a two-year case of the dropsies. So far, Little looks great in camp and I think is finally at the appropriate value to feel like he's a bargain three years into his career. I'll take the chance on a receiver with his skill to generate big plays after the catch.
Joe Morgan, Saints
Sigmund Bloom: Morgan's recent DWI has put a chill on building positive buzz, but the Saints seem ready to stand by their man and give this upgrade from Devery Henderson a chance to be more than a deep threat. He proved that he can get behind the defense and make the deep circus catch last year. This year, Morgan is working on running the full route tree. The addition of more snaps and targets in the short/intermediate passing game would make Morgan at the very least a boom/bust WR3/Flex, and an injury to Marques Colston could thrust him into a prominent role in one of the best passing games in the league.
Adam Harstad: New Orleans has lacked a true game-breaking deep threat since Devery Henderson has slowed down. In limited action last season, Morgan showed himself capable of being that deep threat, averaging a mind-boggling 37.9 yards per reception on his 10 receptions. New Orleans throws the ball a lot, and anyone who can carve out a niche is potentially valuable.
Brian Quick, Rams
James Brimacombe: The Rams currently are a team filled with a lot of "What Ifs?" at the wide receiver position. With a mix of rookies and second year players in Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey, Chris Givens and Brian Quick, the position is wide open. Quick could be picked as a flier at WR and might put up a season in the WR3 range.
Jeff Haseley: The small school rookie admitted to struggling out of the gate in his first year, but the sky is the limit for this kid once he does figure it out. His size and speed combination is not something to ignore and word is that he is looking very good in offseason training activities. Quick is a great late round pick with loads of potential with very little risk.
Mohammed Sanu, Bengals
Matt Waldman: After Marvin Jones Jr got hurt Sanu got his chance and was a short-term, red zone monster before injuries derailed his rookie season. Sanu is a great runner after the catch and a physical receiver in the mode of Marques Colston and Michael Crabtree who plays well from the slot. If Jones doesn't earn the starting role, I believe it will go to Sanu. Since rookie tight ends rarely post starter fantasy production, I think it's wiser to look to the No.2 receiver in Cincinnati while others are betting on Tyler Eifert.
Mark Wimer: Mohamed Sanu had only 16 receptions last season before his campaign was cut short due to a stress fracture in his left foot (he's said to be 100% recovered from the injury as of April 2013), but he snagged four TDs among those 16 catches. He is considered to lead the pack in the race to start across from A.J. Green this year - which means that Sanu will often face single coverage if he wins the #2 job. I plan to draft Sanu in a lot of leagues this year as he could be one of those 'surprise' second-year wide receivers that explode for a lot of fantasy points.
Rod Streater, Raiders
Andy Hicks: Rod Streater may not be a WR1 in the making, but as demonstrated by his last 5 weeks performance in 2012 (18-351-1), he will be significantly undervalued heading into this year. Oakland lost Darrius Heyward-Bey and Carson Palmer, but crucially Streater remains as a probable starter on an offense likely to be playing catch up most of the season. It would not surprise to see Streater make improvement and become a borderline fantasy starter as the year unfolds and his upside is well worth taking the risk at his current ADP.
Jeff Tefertiller: Rod Streater will be the starter in Oakland across from Denarius Moore. Streater has the speed to get open deep and will see his share of pass targets. It was his rookie performance that allowed the Raiders to give Heyward-Bey his walking papers.
Markus Wheaton, Steelers
Andy Hicks: Markus Wheaton is the latest effort from the Pittsburgh scouting staff that has found Antonio Brown, Emmanuel Sanders and Mike Wallace in recent years outside the first 2 rounds. Wallace is now gone and Sanders is hardly the most convincing WR2 in the league. Wheaton has electric speed and should get plenty of looks in the Steelers offense, more if he develops well. At his current draft slot, he can be drafted very late and has very little downside.
Jeff Pasquino: The Pittsburgh Steelers lost Mike Wallace to the Dolphins in free agency this offseason, but by drafting Markus Wheaton they could have a long term solution to that loss. Wheaton will contend immediately for the WR3 role with the Steelers and may push Emmanuel Sanders for playing time by the end of this season, especially if Sanders does not sign a contract extension. If that is the case, Pittsburgh may plan for Antonio Brown and Wheaton to be the starting duo in 2014. An increase in Wheaton's playing time toward the end of 2013 makes him a great sleeper for 2013, as he could be a fantasy monster in December. I would recommend drafting both Wheaton and Sanders if possible.
Robert Woods, Bills
Ryan Hester: While in college at USC, Woods provided a constant presence for his quarterbacks. He showed great ability to get open often and haul in passes in all parts of the field. Woods and fellow-rookie EJ Manuel could build a similar rapport, making Woods Manuel's security blanket – something that would give him better fantasy value than his current ADP would suggest.
Sigmund Bloom: Taking a rookie starting wide receiver in an offense that could potentially feature a rookie quarterback might seem ill-fated, but Woods is especially polished for a youngster, and Stevie Johnson should draw the best opposing corner every week. The Bills' new offense could be very productive for fantasy if they run the uptempo attack (including read option runs) that head coach Doug Marrone and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett used at Syracuse.
Players with 1 Vote
Nate Burleson, Lions
Andrew Garda: People forget this because of the broken leg, but Burleson was being frequently targeted by Matt Stafford before the injury. He won't put up huge numbers, but he can still be productive, and as the Lions have yet to add receivers to this mix, Burleson will have to step up and help Stafford and Calvin Johnson out.
Michael Crabtree, 49ers
Ryan Hester: Crabtree is obviously only this low because of his Achilles tendon injury that will cause him to miss a significant chunk of the season. Should Crabtree recover quickly like Terrell Suggs did last season after suffering the same injury, he could still play a role in many fantasy championships. If he isn't put on Injured Reserve, draft him late and stash him if you can afford to keep the roster spot locked up.
Aaron Dobson, Patriots
Stephen Holloway: Aaron Dobson was a 2nd round selection by the Patriots and although their offense typically challenges all newcomers and particularly rookies, he has an open path to getting playing time. The team has very little in the way of outside receivers and his 6'-3" 210 pound frame seems to be a good fit. He ran a 4.42 forty yard dash at his pro day so he has decent speed as well. He impressed most scouts at the Senior Bowl practices, so it really comes down to whether he can pick up the play book and make a connection with Tom Brady. His athleticism alone seems enough for him to get a shot.
Tandon Doss, Ravens
Jason Wood: Two seasons into his career, Doss has just seven receptions – so it's understandable he would be far off the fantasy radar. Yet, the 6'2", 201 lbs. Indiana Hoosier has remained in the coaches' good graces and by all accounts has developed nicely as a practice player. With the Super Bowl champions parting ways with playoff hero Anquan Boldin, the door is wide open for Doss. Now, to be fair, it's also wide open for the other young receivers on the roster so Doss is the very definition of a last round, deep sleeper.
Harry Douglas, Falcons
Mark Wimer: Harry Douglas is worth considering as a depth fantasy pick this year. He plays on an explosive offense down in Atlanta and if either Roddy White or Julio Jones were to miss time during 2013 for whatever reason, Douglas would step into the lineup and become an instant fantasy starter at wide receiver. Injuries and suspensions being very common in the NFL, Douglas is a player worth considering late in your draft.
Malcom Floyd, Chargers
Stephen Holloway: Malcom Floyd has quietly produced for the Chargers for the past four years. Even while missing 11 games over the past three seasons, he has finished as WR36, WR32, and WR36. His 6'5" frame makes him a good red zone target and he has scored 16 TDs over those three years. His current ADP is WR57 and he should provide value above that rank. His chief competition comes from Danario Alexander, who has even more issues staying on the field and Vincent Brown, the Chargers' 3rd round pick in 2011 who caught 19 passes in his rookie campaign and missed all of last year. I expect Philip Rivers to have a nice bounce back season and it is possible that Floyd winds up as the most productive wide receiver for the team.
Darrius Heyward-Bey, Colts
Jeff Pasquino: The Indianapolis Colts signed Darrius Heyward-Bey to a one-year, $2.5M contract in April. Heyward-Bey comes in as a likely third wide receiver for the Colts, a role that suits him well and was productive for the WR3 in Indianapolis last year (Donnie Avery and T.Y. Hilton both had over 100 targets each while combining for 110 catches, over 1,600 yards and 10 touchdowns as the second and third wide receiver in 2012). While T.Y. Hilton is the likely WR2, there are plenty of chances to go around for three wide receivers in Indianapolis to be productive.
Domenik Hixon, Panthers
Mark Wimer: Domenik Hixon has shown flashes of NFL capability during his career, and I think he's got a legitimate shot at beating out the pedestrian Brandon LaFell for the #2 wide receiver job in Charlotte. Cam Newton is still maturing as a passer - if he forms a good chemistry with Hixon during training camp, Hixon could easily attain fantasy starter status. He's worth a late-round pick just based on his potential upside this year.
Justin Hunter, Titans
Andy Hicks: Justin Hunter has a lot of obstacles if he is to become a fantasy factor this year, but most importantly he will have opportunity. Kenny Britt looks more likely to wash out than become the WR1 the Titans were hoping for and Kendall Wright is a complementary receiver at best, as evidenced by his 9.8 yards a catch. Hunter meanwhile is 6'4 with great speed. He should be fully recovered from a knee injury in 2011 and has a very high upside if things go well. Well worth taking a late risk on.
A.J. Jenkins, 49ers
Adam Harstad: With the injury to Michael Crabtree, former 1st round receiver A.J. Jenkins will get plenty of opportunity to shine. Colin Kaepernick is a quarterback on the rise, and as a potential starting WR in his offense, Jenkins' stock arrow is definitely trending up.
Marvin Jones Jr, Bengals
Matt Waldman: The Bengals were expecting big things from Jones when he earned a starting role against Pittsburgh midseason and got hurt early in the game. Jones was never fully recovered the rest of the year. However, he's healthy now and he was the best route runner and most underrated vertical talent among the 2012 rookie class. If he can stay healthy and play to his level of talent, he could provide 800-1000 yards of production opposite A.J. Green.
Brandon LaFell, Panthers
Heath Cummings: LaFell was a breakout candidate in 2012 and really disappointed. Part of that is on him, but a larger factor was the Panthers' confused offensive approach. The team desperately needs someone to step up opposite Steve Smith and I have hopes that with a more focused plan in 2013 LaFell should be that guy.
Quinton Patton, 49ers
Jeff Pasquino: San Francisco drafted Quinton Patton in Round 4, thinking that he could be a project that would develop over time and possibly push Anquan Boldin in a year or two. Now with Michael Crabtree lost for at a minimum six months, the door opens much bigger for Patton to contend for playing time in his first season. He will compete with second-year wide receiver A.J. Jenkins and also Ricardo Lockette for the chance to line up on the other side of Boldin and start in Week 1. If Patton can translate his big numbers from Louisiana Tech (104-1,392-13 last year after 79-1,202-11 in 2011) to the NFL then he could be one of the biggest impact rookies this year.
Nick Toon, Saints
Chad Parsons: When picking late round flyers for upside plays off the waiver wire, high-powered offenses are a good place to start. The Saints and Drew Brees are a virtual assembly line for passing production. There is room for another fantasy-viable option past Jimmy Graham, Marques Colston, Lance Moore, and Darren Sproles. Toon will be in the mix with Joseph Morgan and Kenny Stills for significant work. In addition to that role, Toon is the one of that trio that fits the Marques Colston-type role if injury were to strike as an added bonus.
Jarius Wright, Vikings
Andrew Garda: It might be a bit crowded in Minnesota with Greg Jennings, Cordarrelle Patterson and Jerome Simpson there, but Jarius Wright proved last season that he can be a potent weapon in this offense. Patterson is raw, Simpson is inconsistent and Jennings gets hurt so if QB Christian Ponder can get his act together, Wright could have a very nice season.

TORONTO -- Someone asked Pete Harnisch if he had been walking the short distance between his hotel and SkyDome the past few days. Harnisch smiled. He knew this was coming. "Yeah,"he said yesterday, pointing to his feet, "and I'm wearing shoes with steel-plated heels."
That was what he needed on the last weekend of the 1989 season, of course, when he stepped on a nail walking home from a game and had to scratch from the biggest start of his career. He was 22 and pitching for the Orioles, who were two games behind Toronto with two to play.
It was just a piece of bad luck, but Harnisch's lot seemed to run that way in his years in Baltimore. He had a satchel of potential evident to everyone, but he was inconsistent and jittery and the pieces of his puzzle just never seemed to fit. He won some games and threw a lot of innings, but the wrong things were always happening. He stepped on nails. He threw too many balls.
