Watch Jacksonville Jaguars vs New England Patriots Live, New England Patriots vs Jacksonville Jaguars Live, New England Patriots Live, Jacksonville Jaguars. The Carolina Panthers will kick off the primary full week of the NFL preseason on Wednesday night without quarterback Cam Newton. The Panthers host the Houston Texans at 6:30 p.m. CDT Wednesday, and Carolina teach Ron Rivera said on Tuesday that Newton might now not play.
The previous Auburn celebrity had surgical operation on March 30 on his throwing shoulder to repair a partially torn rotator cuff, and the rehab work kept him from throwing a pass until June 26. Newton didn't begin throwing to his teammates until schooling camp opened.
After five practices, Newton skilled fatigue and soreness in his proper shoulder. He hasn't thrown in live drills on account that July 30, even though he has resumed passing to running shoes on the side and, on Tuesday, threw gently to strolling returned Chris Samuel.
"Cam's been throwing," Rivera stated on Monday. "That is the 1/3 day he is thrown the ball. i am no longer always involved. What i am being instructed is the doctor's pleased with in which he's."
While the Panthers will play 4 preseason video games, the goal for Carolina is to have the 2015 NFL MVP prepared to play when the regular season kicks off on Sept. 10 against the San Francisco 49ers.
Any other all-famous person with Alabama football roots who might not play in his group's preseason opener is Atlanta Falcons extensive receiver Julio Jones. A former Foley excessive faculty and Alabama standout, Jones had surgical operation to eliminate a bunion in March, which confined his participation within the offseason program.
The Falcons aren't making plans on Jones being a complete player at education camp either as they get him prepared for their normal-season opener on Sept. 10 in opposition to the Chicago Bears.

2. Discover in which players you cherished in university are actually.
We live in a fragmented international. a few human beings decide on college while others are NFL junkies handiest. I'm amazed every now and then how little crossover there is between the 2.
As a ways as I'm involved, football is football, but if you are a university fan with time to kill, finding out where remaining yr's stars are now could be constantly a laugh.
After which there are the ones 2012 All-individuals nevertheless seeking to hold on…
Discover who your subsequent favorite player could be.
All and sundry loves an underdog, proper?
The NFL preseason is ripe with them. I imply there are actually too many to expect each team.
From the countrywide award winners seeking to regulate to the small university all-stars trying to prove they belong, there's drama across the board irrespective of who is playing.
When the Arizona Cardinals take on the Oakland Raiders on Saturday it will be first-12 months quarterbacks coach Byron Leftwich who will be calling the plays in line with a tweet by means of Darren city from the group's legit website.
Head train Bruce Arians sees a massive future for Leftwich, who played ten seasons inside the NFL.
"He's going to be a head train early and rapid," Arians stated when the crew made him a complete-time educates returned in January.
The Marshal product spent four seasons as a backup with the Pittsburgh Steelers, along with three in which Arians become the offensive coordinator. Leftwich, the seventh normal pick in the 2003 NFL Draft, may be operating with Carson Palmer, who became the first select that equal 12 months.
Tomlin broadcasts No big Ben or Antonio
The Pittsburgh Steelers, who're already without walking again Le'Veon Bell and huge out Martavis Bryant, who still hasn't been cleared to practice, can also be without their largest stars in their preseason opener in opposition to the New York Giants.
On Wednesday, head educate Mike Tomlin introduced that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and huge out Antonio Brown will each be held out of Friday's contest. Consistent with the pinnacle guy they may be the only two healthy scratches.
Projected backup Landry Jones has been managing an abdominal harm so that means a heavy dose of fourth-spherical pick Josh Dobbs with undrafted rookie Bart Houston picking up the remainder of the snaps below middle. This is a great opportunity for Dobbs to make a run on the No. 2 role and for Houston to make humans notice, if now not in Pittsburgh then around the league.
Garrett to send 'Message'
The Cleveland Browns open their preseason on Thursday night time against the brand new Orleans Saints and No. 1 typical pick protective quit Myles Garrett plans to send a message.
"They don't have a good deal movie to move off of, at least now not of me now, and they don't know what I must provide," said Garrett (in line with Cleveland.com). "So, i'm searching forward to sending a message thru this primary sport."
Probably, Garrett intends to introduce himself to the opposing quarterback as he plans to dominate.
"It would not depend if it is preseason or a scrimmage," said Garrett. "I am trying to have a dominant performance, whether it's preseason first collection or on every occasion i am getting available."
Consistent with reviews, Garrett has regarded right and flashed the capability to get into the offensive backfield with his penetration competencies in each exercise, as well as the team's scrimmage. What he hasn't been capable of do is hit the quarterback something he is asking ahead to.
"(i am getting to) comply with through," stated Garrett. "it's type of a relief. It's truely more difficult to keep away from hitting him than it's far to absolutely wrap him up and take him down. Now that i will comply with via, i'm able to definitely show that i'm getting there and i'm making big performs."
The Browns launched their unofficial intensity chart on Monday and Garrett was listed as a starter.

Astros pull even in NLCS
Burke, Oswalt lead Houston to win over Mulder in Game 2
By Alyson Footer / MLB.com
And now, Roy Oswalt.
Oswalt, perhaps the least famous back-to-back 20-game winner in Major League history, proved on Thursday why his Houston Astros teammates view him as the ace of the pitching staff.
The right-hander had no margin for error through seven brilliant innings, holding his opponents to a single run as the Astros topped the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-1. Before a sellout crowd of 52,358 at Busch Stadium, Houston evened the National League Championship Series at 1-1.
After falling in a disappointing Game 1 loss, the Astros needed Oswalt to be Oswalt. No one was surprised at how forcefully the right-hander delivered.
"He was determined tonight," manager Phil Garner said. "He was as locked in as I've seen him. There were a couple points in the game where I thought he made a couple good pitches that were really close in key situations and he didn't get the called strike. He didn't let it rattle him."
Garner was referring to the fifth frame, when Oswalt threw at least two pitches to Jim Edmonds that could have easily been construed as strike three. Home plate umpire Greg Gibson thought differently, until the last fastball Oswalt threw to the inside corner. Strike three.
Albert Pujols led off the next frame with a solo homer, narrowing Houston's lead to 2-1, but that would be the end of the Cardinals' scoring threat.
"He makes a mistake to Pujols and just shuts them down after that," Garner said. "That's as locked as you get. When you're playing in these high-pressure situations, it can be easy to wear down. Roy didn't."
Oswalt's finest moments arrived when he appeared to be tiring in the seventh. Yadier Molina doubled to left, and pinch-hitter John Rodriguez drew a walk. After a rather lengthy conversation on the mound with pitching coach Jim Hickey, Oswalt coaxed a fly ball to center field from David Eckstein and escaped the inning when Edmonds knocked a first-pitch ground ball to Lance Berkman.
"That was the ballgame," Garner said. "That was definitely the ballgame, because we opened it up after that. That [seventh] was their shot."
"I knew it was going to be the last inning I was out there," Oswalt said. "The pitch count was getting up. It was a key situation in the game, two men on and the meat of their lineup coming up. To get out of that inning and the next inning, to have to face Pujols with no one on, was a key situation in the game."
Oswalt left the game with a lead, thanks in part to Chris Burke, who proved Garner right by giving him this rare start in left field.
"Hi, Chris Burke-tober," hitting coach Gary Gaetti chortled as Burke strode to his locker to address, for the second time this week, a herd of national reporters, many of whom had never heard of him before last Sunday.
Burke, who homered in his previous two postseason at-bats, tripled to right-center field with one out in the second and scored on catcher Molina's passed ball.
Burke also helped turn a one-run lead into a three-run victory during the eighth inning while facing St. Louis reliever Julian Tavarez. Berkman doubled to right, but was frozen when both Morgan Ensberg and Jason Lane grounded to short. Berkman advanced to third on Tavarez's wild pitch, and Burke drove in the run with a base hit to left.
Adam Everett tripled to left, allowing Burke to plate the fourth and final run.
"He prepares himself very well, and a lot of that goes unnoticed because people aren't here to see that," Everett said of Burke. "He's a big-time player. He likes the spotlight."
Thursday's win was the Astros' first NLCS road victory over the Cardinals, dating back to last season. The Cardinals won all four games at Busch Stadium during the seven-game series.
Leaving St. Louis with a 1-1 split was signficant, considering they left here 0-2 this time last year and then won all three games in Houston.
"It's important," Garner said of the split. "We beat them here, and we haven't done that for a while in these [playoff] situations. They know that, and we know that, too. It's not going to make any of these games any easier, but there's a measure of confidence there that says, 'Yes, we've done it.'
"We'll have to play hard, we'll have to play good baseball. But tonight, this was as good a game as it gets."

Nationally No. 2 USC (17-2, 0-0 Pac-12), which has won the past four NCAA team titles, visits The Farm on Friday for a 1:30 p.m. match.
On Saturday, No. 4 UCLA (14-1, 0-0 Pac-12) will be No. 49 Stanford's opponent during the first-ever televised match on the Pac-12 Networks. The doubles competition begins at 2:30 p.m., with the telecast joining in progress live at 4 p.m. and showcasing the singles matches on courts Nos. 1-3. Ted Robinson will handle play-by-play duties while Paul Goldstein, four-time All-American during his stellar Cardinal career from 1995-98, serves as the color analyst.
Stanford squared off against UCLA and USC in early February, falling 7-0 to the Bruins and 6-1 to the Trojans. However, this weekend's contests have been designated as the Pac-12 counting matches.
Stanford's current string of four consecutive wins comes on the heels of a four-match losing skid that pushed the Cardinal's overall record under the .500 mark for the first time in five years.
The Cardinal's starting singles lineup regularly includes four underclassmen, led by two nationally ranked players. Sophomore John Morrissey checks in at No. 54 in this week's ITA national rankings, compiling a 16-9 overall record and 6-4 mark in duals. Morrissey has played all of his matches at the top spot of the lineup.
Freshman Nolan Paige, who is ranked No. 88, has notched team-best records in overall play (19-9) and dual match competition (8-4) while appearing mostly in the Nos. 2-3 positions.
Stanford's seven victories have all come at home so far this year.
Women's gymnastics
Stanford garnered three first-team and one second-team All-Pac-12 honors, as announced by the conference Wednesday. Ashley Morgan, Ivana Hong and Amanda Spinner received first-team recognition, while Nicole Dayton was named to the second team.
Women's golf
Stanford's winning streak ended after a sixth-place finish at 25-over-par 889, trailing the leader by 35 strokes in the final day of the Anuenue Spring Break Classic at the Kapalua Bay Course in Maui, Hawaii.
The Cardinal (294-299-296) shot three rounds over par, with only Mariah Stackhouse carding two under-par rounds. After posting three low rounds for Stanford, the freshman (69-74-71) tied for seventh at 2-under-par 214.
Women's tennis
The nationally No. 14-ranked Stanford women's team enters arguably the most pivotal weekend of the dual-match season, riding the momentum of a season-high six-match winning streak.
Stanford (10-2, 4-0 Pac-12) will open its challenging Southern California road swing on Friday at No. 4 UCLA (13-2, 4-0 Pac-12) at 1:30 p.m. One day later, the Cardinal faces No. 6 USC (15-2, 4-0 Pac-12) at noon.
Women's water polo
Stanford senior Melissa Seidemann and freshman Maggie Steffens swept the KAP 7 MPSF Player and Newcomer of the Week awards, respectively, for their performances in No. 2 Stanford's 3-0 showing last weekend.

That is the claim made by Acting President of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro, who served as vice president under the late president, Hugo Chavez.
Maduro claims that the US is plotting to assassinate the opposition candidate for president, Henrique Capriles Radonski, who polls suggest has almost no chance to win, and then pin the blame on the Venezuelan government. This, Maduro asserts, will bring about the kind of instability and public protest that the US has encouraged numerous times from the Color Revolutions to the Arab Spring.
It is the kind of claim that sends conspiracy theorists into a feeding frenzy and also allows US government spokesmen to deny the claims with a snicker, knowing how kooky the claimant is made to appear.
Even though it sounds far fetched, Maduro singles out two men he claims are behind these plans, Otto Reich and Roger Noriega, who are well known in Latin America for their decades of dirty work there on behalf of the US government. Reich was recruited by the CIA when he was still in university and went on to play a key role in numerous covert actions and propaganda campaigns, including the Iran-Contra scandal, during which time he churned out propaganda aimed at Americans as head of the State Department's notorious Office of Public Diplomacy.
As detailed in the George Washington University's always fascinating National Security Archive, his transgressions against rule of law and decency are legion. One example:
A staff report by the House Foreign Affairs Committee (September 7, 1988) summarized various investigations of Mr. Reich's office and concluded that "senior CIA officials with backgrounds in covert operations, as well as military intelligence and psychological operations specialists from the Department of Defense, were deeply involved in establishing and participating in a domestic political and propaganda operation run through an obscure bureau in the Department of State which reported directly to the National Security Council rather than through the normal State Department channels…. Through irregular sole-source, no-bid contracts, S/LPD established and maintained a private network of individuals and organizations whose activities were coordinated with, and sometimes directed by, Col. Oliver North as well as officials of the NSC and S/LPD. These private individuals and organizations raised and spent funds for the purpose of influencing Congressional votes and U.S. domestic news media. This network raised and funneled money to off-shore bank accounts in the Cayman Islands or to the secret Lake Resources bank account in Switzerland for disbursement at the direction of Oliver North. Almost all of these activities were hidden from public view and many of the key individuals involved were never questioned or interviewed by the Iran/Contra Committees."
Reich should have been in jail. Instead he moved back into a position of prominence and importance in the George W. Bush administration, where as Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, he was in the center of the short-lived US-supported coup against Hugo Chavez in 2002.
Reich is periodically forced to keep a low profile after his disastrous forays into violent interventionism and covert action and he has been more or less quiet since the "W" administration.
Until now.
With Chavez dead and the possibility of more destabilization, Reich emerges from beneath the shadows to again begin whispering his seductive calls for US action. About those who are filling in until a new election takes place, Reich warns Obama in a recent interview:
"These guys are so tricky and so evil, quite frankly. The people in power in Venezuela today are evil."
Given his ignominious role in the "dirty wars" of Latin America, how much of a leap is it really from his dire warnings about Venezuela to…perhaps a little plan to rid Venezuela of evil?

Conformation of Racehorses
- May 1, 2005
- Topics:
"Forelimb conformation receives lots of attention because of perceived predisposition to injury (with various conformational problems)," began Liz Santschi, DVM, Dipl. ACVS, clinical associate professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, at the Western Veterinary Conference held Feb. 20-25 in Las Vegas, Nev.
Thoroughbred Foals
She discussed a conformation study that she is planning to submit for publication. In her study, nearly all racing-bred Thoroughbred foals were carpus valgus (knock-kneed) at birth, many toed out, and a few had offset knees. But at about 18 months of age, nearly two-thirds had offset knees and the incidence of knock knees had dropped by a large margin. Less than 10% had completely straight forelimbs at any age, and more than half had more than one conformational deviation.
Another finding was that heavier birth weight of the foal was associated with offset carpal conformation at every age.
To look at the genetics of conformation, her study also evaluated conformation of the foals' sires and dams whenever possible. She found several associations between carpal conformation of the parents and that of the offspring. "So it took me a long time to prove what everyone already knows," she said with a laugh.
Santschi evaluated the efficacy of conformation correction as well. More information: www.TheHorse.com/ViewArticle.aspx?id=5604.
Thoroughbred Racehorses
Santschi also discussed her yet unpublished study on Thoroughbred racehorse conformation. To quantify the frequency of conformational problems in the average Thoroughbred, she evaluated forelimb conformation, height, weight, sale price, and racing performance of nearly 300 horses in a 2-year-old sale.
She reported that about half of the racehorses exhibited multiple conformation defects, and that this was quite common in broodmares as well. Only about a quarter of the horses evaluated had straight knees, and only about half had straight fetlocks. Some conformational problems were strongly associated.
Santschi found an association between carpal conformation and the number of starts in the 2-year-old year (horses that were valgus and outwardly rotated in their knees made more starts). At two to four years of age, toed-in fetlock conformation was associated with likelihood of winning, and with likelihood of winning a greater percentage of races.
She concluded that straight forelimb conformation is overrated, and valgus (knock-kneed) conformation by itself is not desirable. "Deviation from straight conformation in the forelimb is common in 2-year-old Thoroughbreds sold as racing prospects, and not all deviations have a similar impact on limb motion and early athletic performance," she stated.
"The problem with conformation and performance is that conformational evaluation is subjective, and the rules are largely based on anecdotes," she went on. "There are very few straight horses where you can't find any fault in their conformation at all, and lots of crooked horses that run quite fast.
"Evaluating a yearling and predicting future performance is like looking into a middle school yard and picking the track star," she explained. "You are going to pick some slow runners, and you are going to miss a few fast ones. Conformation evaluation is about narrowing the possible pool."

Here's the stone Mike uses:http://www.ceramicssf.com/shelves-posts.htmalthough I think he takes it above 600.Here are a few more options:http://www.baileypottery.com/kilnfurniture/kilnshelves.htmhttp://www.highwaterclays.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=247http://coneartkilns.com/index.php/kiln-furniture/shelves-high-temperature-alumina.htmlhttp://www.sheffield-pottery.com/High-Alumina-Cone-11-Kiln-Shelves-s/317.htmhttp://www.dogwoodceramics.com/Products/Paragon_Kiln_Shelves.htmOut of this list, I think the Bailey shelves show the most promise. The reference to cone 11 is encouraging as is the 'dry pressed' reference. I am concerned about the rough surface of the shelves in the picture, though, as well as the possibility for a minimum order.I get the feeling that even with a higher quantity of alumina, these shelves might not cut it at 580. I've written all these companies (and more) looking for specs on their shelves, and, while most of the companies got back to me, no one has been able to give me figures. As long as you get a thick enough shelf (minimum .75" and preferably 1"), these will outperform your present shelf, but I don't think they're going to get you down to a 4 minute bake, which is where you want to be.How long was this last bake?
Peter,Absolutely fantastic results! Congrats. One thing, though, to make the pies even better...concentrate a bit more on the shaping & stretching when opening the skins. There's a little weak spot in the first pic's undercrust. Been there, done that and found that a properly formed skin bakes up much better, imho.Other than that, I'm glad you're enjoying the formula so far.
Peter,Very nice looking pies you've got here. I didn't see it in previous post but what type of flour/flours are you using here?Nate
I tried this dough formulation with the KABF yesterday and had some problems. The dough seemed dryer than normal for a 63% hydration dough. I mixed the oil in with the water, sugar and yeast and then added the flour and salt. I went with it but it barely fermented after 24hrs in the fridge. No rise whatsoever. No clue what happened. I have the dough balls out of the fridge now to see if that helps.Nate
Now it's time to find a cheaper mozzarella source. $6/lbs isn't going to last long

The Marlins take the lead in the second as Dan Uggla hits a solo home run, his third home run of the season, as the Marlins lead 1-0. As both teams starters, Cole Hamels and Nate Robertson, keep both teams off of the scoreboard, the Phils missed a change to tie the ballgame in the bottom of the fourth as, with runners on second and third, via a single to Jayson Werth and a ground-rule double to Ben Francisco, stopping Werth at third, and with one man out, when Werth did not score on a fly-out by Carlos Ruiz to center, by not keeping an eye on the ball as Cameron Maybin makes a bad throw to the plate. The Marlins then added to their lead in the ninth as, with a runner on first, and with no one out, Uggla hits an RBI double, knocking in Jorge Cantu, who had earlier singled, giving the Marlins a 2-0 lead. Leo Nunez then comes in to pitch a 1-2-3 ninth, to record his third save of the season.
Cole Hamels took the lost as he pitches eight plus one batter strong innings, giving up two runs on seven hits, while he strikes out eight. His record is now 2-1 with an ERA of 3.86. Ryan Madson pitches an inning, giving up a hit, while he strikes out two. Nate Robertson got the win as he goes six and a third innings, giving up just four hits and four walks, as he strikes out four. His record is now 2-0 with a 2.20 ERA. Burke Badenhop records his third hold of the year as he pitches an inning and two-thirds, as he strikes out a batter. Leo Nunez records his third save of the season, as he pitches a 1-2-3 inning, striking out two batters.
The Phils had only four hits in the game. Placido Polanco, Jayson Werth, Ben Francisco and Carlos Ruiz had the Phils' hit, with Francisco's hit being the only extra-base hit, a ground-rule double.
The Phils (8-4, 1st), who have lost their first series of the season, while having a 3-3 home stand, will have the day off tomorrow before going on the Atlanta to start a three cities, nine-games road trip.

The head of a goat was delivered to Chicago's Wrigley Field on Wednesday afternoon, officials confirmed.
The "intimidating package," as reported by Cubs officials, was found at about 2:30 p.m. outside Gate K and addressed to franchise owner Tom Ricketts.
The package didn't appear to have been deliveredby the U.S. Postal Service, Cubs spokesman Julian Green said.
The delivery comes in the midst of the organization's ongoing negotiations with the city and small business owners regarding a a five-year, $300 million plan to renovate the Friendly Confines.
The Billy Goat Curse dates back to Oct. 6, 1945, when tavern owner Billy Sianis bought a box seat for his goat, Murphy, for Game 4 of the World Series at Wrigley Field to help promote his establishment. When he was ordered to remove the goat, he claimed to place a curse on the team that would prevent it from ever hosting another World Series at Wrigley Field.
Dead goats were found hanging on the Harry Caray statue outside the field in 2007 and in 2009.

As Good As Gold
Why would anyone want to spend $2,500 or more on a surround preamplifier/processor when he could get a flagship receiver for the same money? The three we've rounded up here - the B&K Reference 30 ($2,798), Lexicon's MC-1 ($5,995), and the Meridian 561 ($5,000) - all duplicate the preamp and surround-processing functions of an A/V receiver, but forgo the power-amp section and, with two of the models, the tuner. All three provide decoding for 5.1- and 6.1-channel soundtracks from DVDs or digital-TV broadcasts, processing for simulated multichannel sound from two-channel music and A/V sources, and a full complement of system-control functions.
So why do they cost so much more than a receiver? Mostly because these are high-end products - and proud of it. Manufacturers tend to save their best, most advanced (and most expensive) technologies for separate components like these, while sparing no expense on their internal componentry to ensure the highest audio and video quality. Also, these preamps allow for degrees of tweakability that go well beyond what most receivers offer. They're for people who insist on having their movies and music sound absolutely right, with no compromises. If you're that hard-core about your sound - or would like a glimpse of how the hard-core live - read on.
B&K Reference 30 - $2,798 B&K Components, 2100 Old Union Rd., Buffalo, NY 14227 www.bkcomp.com - 800-543-5252
Located in upstate New York, just a stone's throw from Niagara Falls, B&K Components is known for its no-nonsense preamps, power amps, and receivers. For nearly a decade it has offered a steadily evolving line of A/V preamp/processors that boast fine performance from comparatively stripped-down designs. And what is even rarer in today's A/V world, all B&K products are designed and manufactured in the U.S.
The latest of these, the Reference 30 ($2,798), is a just-the-facts-ma'am component that delivers THX-enhanced Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Pro Logic decoding, a simple but powerful set of "master component" control options, and a convenient onboard AM/FM tuner in a relatively high-value package. In fact, the Reference 30 is essentially B&K's AVR307 receiver with the amps and speaker terminals removed.

Caran d'Ache: A Creative Beauty with Swiss Charm
29 May
Caran d'Ache is a Swiss company that manufactures fine writing instruments that pay homage to the tradition of Swiss innovation, precision, and excellence. Combining several sought-after raw materials with modern technologies and expert craftsmanship, Caran d'Ache creates distinctly perfect pens down to the last detail. Caran d'Ache is, in fact, the only Swiss manufacturer of "pencils, fine-arts materials and luxury writing instruments."
The Beginning of Excellence
Caran d'Ache opened in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1924 after Arnold Schweitzer acquired the Ecridor Pencil Company (originally founded in 1915) and renamed the company. The name Caran d'Ache comes from the pseudonym of a famous 19th century French satirist named Emmanuel Poire. That pseudonym came from the Russian word for pencil, "Karandash," which stems from the Turkish words "kara dash," literally meaning black stone (referring to graphite). The deep roots to writing materials in Caran d'Ache's name are backed up in their authentic products.
In 1930, Caran d'Ache launched their Ecridor mechanical pencils in both silver and gold models. Next came the Prismalo, the first colored pencil with water-soluble lead, in 1931. Ultimately, Caran d'Ache's first fountain pen was launched in the Madison Collection and thus began the company's intimate workings with myriad writing instrument types. Their creativity and skill has blossomed over the years, and to this day Caran d'Ache handcrafts some of the most exquisite pens and art pencils in the market.
Noble Materials
Caran d'Ache pens and mechanical pencils use quality materials that make for a writing instrument unlike any other. One of these materials is Rhodium, a rare metal valued approximately at 10 times the price of gold. It is an amazing material to use in a writing instrument because it does not oxidize, and therefore preserves the silver shine of the pen.
Another fine material used in Caran d'Ache pens is 18 Carat Gold. This soft metal is used to decorate, engrave, and polish each gold pen, creating unique art. Each gold nib carries the certified mark of the raw material, as well as the trademark of the craftsmen. Caran d'Ache is also one of the few pen manufacturers to use Chinese lacquer, an ancient material steeped in the traditions of Eastern craftsmanship. This magnificent glimmering lacquer goes through an incredibly complex application after the natural process of extracting the sap of a Tsi Cheou tree.
Another innovative practice at Caran d'Ache is the creation of a coat of mail for certain pen bodies to create a unique grip. This material is made from woven links of stainless steel. Once a legendary technology to protect medieval knights, now this material is also engrained in the history of one of the highest regarded companies of Switzerland, Caran d'Ache.
By combining ancient tradition and elegance with modern and artful design, Caran d'Ache creates authentic pens that live up to the Swiss standards of quality and precision. Their products inspire the timelessness and passion of an imagination that is set free at the grasp of a pen.

Eaton announced that Humphrey is the new chief for the Russellville Police Department. Humphrey had served as interim chief since Tom McMillen retired on July 1.
Eaton told The Courier on Saturday the time when McMillen retired was emotionally charged, and he waited for the dust to settle before choosing a new chief.
He added during the months since McMillen's retirement, the mayor had time to observe the applicants and weigh several factors before deciding to hire in-house or go outside of the department.
"We had several well-qualified candidates to choose from within the existing force," Eaton said before announcing Humphrey as the new chief. "After observing Jeff, it is my belief he will be an asset as the next chief and a great leader for the department."
Eaton said the appointment is effective Monday, and Humphrey will be presented at Thursday's Russellville City Council meeting.

Town officials, residents offer input, feedback at SeVEDS meeting
WILMINGTON -- Members of the Dover, Halifax and Wilmington Selectboards, residents as well as business owners attended the Southeastern Vermont Economic Development Strategies regional meeting on April 24 to weigh in on economic challenges.
"People believe economies are zero sum games," said ViTAL Economy Founder Frank Knott. "If you've been in an economy like this one, you believe that if you share, you have to give up something because there's only so much around. We try to show how much bigger the pie can be."
Knott was hired to help create a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy document by SeVEDS. He was in Wilmington to get input and feedback as part of a regional meeting series.
Dover Selectboard Chairman Randy Terk said he liked an analogy Knott had made about an economy being like a swimming pool.
"How do we get people to understand they're sending water out of the pool?" asked Terk.
"Literally, take one by one," replied Knott. "And instead of going to a wholesaler, create an affordable system."
He said that first, you map out assets in the community then figure out what system patterns will need to be changed.
"It's complex but it's not impossible," said Knott. "It just requires hard work."
Wilmington Selectboard member Diane Chapman spoke about college graduates not returning to the area to work.
"People who come out of college cannot come back to this area and make the money they can make in the larger cities," she said. "We need large corporations."
Knott said he did not believe that was the solution.
He thought smaller companies could have a lasting affect in a region like the Deerfield Valley. He also mentioned that due to the recession, smaller companies have not been able to be as successful in recent years.
Windham Regional Commission Planner Cullen Meves brought up her own choice to live in the region. She said her fiancee and other people she knows commute to Boston or Keene, N.H.. Others may telecommute or telecommute part time.
Meves suggested building on the broadband infrastructure so that residents in this region could tap into other regions' economies.
Halifax Selectboard Chairwoman Edee Edwards discussed the broadband issue in her town.
"I think we're still very weak in infrastructure," she said. "My town does not have high speed Internet. There are plans and grants to get it here but I'm concerned with having a back-up plan in case they can't."
Edwards also suggested looking at the transportation infrastructure, referring to Tropical Storm Irene. The roads that are not paved presented a major issue to those who needed to go to work in Brattleboro and other neighboring towns.
A member of the public spoke about how there is barely any alternative to using a vehicle to travel or commute to work.
Wilmington Selectboard member Susie Haughwout mentioned that she had been town clerk during the real estate boom and people would ask her about making the move to the area.
"I asked, 'Do you have a six figure income in your family where you live now? How do you think you can replicate that?'... We are missing an opportunity with second homeowners who have decided they love it here," said Haughwout. "I just don't know if we've figured out a way to promote it."
Towards the end of the meeting, Knott recommended sending ideas and information through SeVEDS.com, where there is a contact page that allows people to send messages to the organization.

text: Interesting suggestions the previous post about tying off the cable somewhere. Another potential fix is to use a pair of vise grips to grab some of the strands that stick out and pull the inner cable for engaging the clutch. I believe Matt Parkhouse had a roadside "bodge" for this situation in his Keep 'Em Flying column in the past 5-7 years.

Fifty-Four teams began but only eight teams remain. The Elite Eight play tomorrow in the Quarterfinals.
In a veritable who's who of top D1 talent, the four do or die games begin at 10:30am EST and end with the last game starting at 2:15pm, with the Semifinals beginning and hour and change later, at 3:30pm. The championship will be on Sunday at 12 noon. These seven exciting wars of attrition will take place to determine who will be this years champion in the iS8/Nike Tip-Off Fall Classic. The strategy is simple. Win every game you play. The teams in the quarterfinals all belong there and have all gotten there in different ways. Here are the match-ups:
10:30am Team Odom vs. Playaz Club-Seniors
The Playaz Club-Seniors are stacked. With 5'11, Fordham bound point guard, Jiovanny Fontan and Rutgers bound shooting guard, Mike Rosario plus Pittsburgh bound Travon Woodall, they are formidable however Team Odom is a scrappy unrelenting team. Team Odom's backbone rests with small forward Ryan Pearson. The recent George Mason commit showed a never say die attitude when Team Odom, which include his Christ the King teammate Sean Johnson, were 'Playaz slayaz' by defeating the Playaz Club-Juniors last Sunday. The Playaz Club-Seniors, however, may simply have too many weapons.
11:45am Mt. Vernon vs. The CT Basketball Club
Kevin Jones and Sherrod Wright of the Mt. Vernon Knights have their eye on the prize against their next door neighbors but the Chris Prescott and his CT Basketball Club see things differently. Prescott and his teammate, BJ Monters will have to play a flawless game and keep the ball out of Jone's hands to win this one.
1:00pm Gauchos vs. Shooting Stars
UConn commit, Kemba Walker wants this one bad and he and his Gaucho teammates Jordan Theodore, Durand Scott, and Chris Fouch will be right there to help him. The Shooting Stars come into this game fully loaded as the have Big men Samardo Samuels and Devin Ebanks plus (oh my gawd) Christian Morris, the beast, coming off the bench. This game, however, will be a battle of the little guys as the Gauchos will have to contend against Shooting Stars, guard and Florida commit, Erving Walker who has a knack for making a way out of no way. If the Gauchos are really hot from the outside they can win it but if not… Then again, the Gaucho's have been winning all summer long.
2:15pm Boy's & Girls vs. St. Ray's
This is the PSAL vs. CHSAA part two as Boy's & Girl's (Brookyln, NY) faces off against the team that upset Lance Stephenson & the Juice All-stars, St. Ray's (Bronx, NY). Truth be told, Lance was probably at 50% awesomeness due to just arriving back moments before from Indiana's Midnight madness but a win is a win regardless. The interesting thing about this game is that it's two "teams" playing each other. Two teams that play with each other all year 'round and run therefore more involved plays and sets. Boy's & Girl's led by Brandon Romain, Pat Jackson and big man, Kyrie Sutton haven't lost a game in the iS8. St. Rays has simply willed their way into the playoffs behind the veteran leadership of Darryl Bryant and Omari Lawrence plus keys buckets from Kevin Parrom. To me this game is a pick 'em.
The two semifinal games begin at 3:30pm and all promise to be "off the hook". The iS8 is located at 108-35 167th St. in Jamaica, NY 11433-2945. Come early and stay late or you can wait to see the webcast of the semifinals and championship game on HSBnetwork.TV, which will be available FREE to all Rivals.com subscribers.

Morneau providing Gold Glove-caliber defense
By Tom Singer / MLB.com
CINCINNATI -- Justin Morneau's Silver Slugger hasn't yet shown up, but his golden glove has had a tremendous impact on the Pirates since his Aug. 31 acquisition from Minnesota.
That's lower case "golden," because the first baseman hasn't earned any Gold Gloves for defensive play during his 11 Major League seasons. However, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire's report to good buddy Clint Hurdle that Morneau's defense will open some eyes has borne out.
"He has definitely brought an edge to everything he does," said Hurdle. "He's a blue-collar guy, no flash, not a lot of style, not the range to knock your socks off."
Sounds like Morneau fits in perfectly with what shortstop Clint Barmes last year branded the Pirates' Vanilla Infield, for its lack of pizzazz while making all the plays.
"Defensively," Hurdle added of Morneau, "he's made more than a handful of plays that made you go, 'Wow.'"
There was a sequence of those in the ninth inning of the Pirates' postseason-clinching victory on Monday in Chicago, which Hurdle called "as sharp an inning as I've ever seen a first baseman have defensively."
It was punctuated by a play Andrew McCutchen likened to Derek Jeter's classic "flip play." In Game 3 of the 2001 American League Championship Series, the Yankees shortstop materialized to the right of home plate to retrieve an errant throw from the outfield and his flip to catcher Jorge Posada nailed Jeremy Giambi to help the Bombers to a 1-0 win and start them toward a comeback from an 0-2 deficit to the AL pennant.
On Monday night, with the Bucs trying to hold onto a 2-1 lead, Morneau picked up a loose ball in front of the mound and his flip to catcher Russell Martin nailed Nate Schierholtz for the game-ending out.
Hurdle installed Morneau as his cleanup hitter against right-handed pitchers, and Hurdle is sticking with that even though Morneau is hitting .260, with no homers and three RBIs in 24 games with the Bucs.
Liriano will get starting nod in NL Wild Card Game
CINCINNATI -- Left-hander Francisco Liriano remained locked in as the Pirates starter for Tuesday's Wild Card Game against the Reds -- only, his leash got a little shorter as a result of the club nailing down home-field advantage for that playoff opener.
Gerrit Cole, who had been slated to start Sunday's season finale between the teams if the Wild Card home field remained unresolved, has been scratched and now instead will back up Liriano should he need early relief.
Cole can't count on getting in his work Tuesday night at PNC Park, where Liriano has lost just once in 11 starts and has a 1.49 ERA.
Manager Clint Hurdle highlighted Liriano's effectiveness at home as one of the key aspects of the Pirates having earned the right to host the playoff game.
"Frankie's been real good at home, so that makes it significant," Hurdle said.
Liriano had been listed as the Wild Card Game starter regardless of where it would have been played. By comparison, however, he was 8-7 with a 4.33 ERA on the road, and had lost both of his regular-season starts in Great American Ball Park.
In four-game series, Bucs carry winning mark
CINCINNATI -- The shot at the National League Central title expired on Friday night, giving Clint Hurdle a head start on his 2014 to-do list.
"Winning the division got to be pushed to next year," the Pirates manager said. "The Cardinals earned their division rights, no doubt. A very solid team that finished very strong."
On the bright side, St. Louis' clincher confirmed that the Pirates are in the midst of essentially a four-game series with the Reds, the three-game regular-season windup here followed by their Tuesday Wild Card Game.
And four-game series have been very good for the Bucs, who did not lose any until the ninth and last, when the San Diego Padres took three-of-four two weeks ago at PNC Park.
"Yeah, we're now locked into a four-game series with this club. Four-game series have been definitely interesting for us," Hurdle said. "They've played out successfully more often than not."
The site of Tuesday's game has yet to be determined. The Pirates are undefeated in four-game road series, winning three and splitting two others.
Worth noting
• Francisco Liriano (16 wins) and Jeff Locke, A.J. Burnett and Gerrit Cole (10 each) are the first quartet of Pirates pitchers to reach double digits in wins since 1997, when Francisco Cordova won 11 and was followed with 10 each by Jon Lieber, Esteban Loaiza and Jason Schmidt. That '97 team finished 79-83.
• Andrew McCutchen entered Saturday's game in the throes of a 3-for-27 lull, but was he really slumping? Hurdle stressed the number of walks McCutchen had drawn in that stretch (eight), and McCutchen was actually working on a string of reaching base in 25 straight road games -- best by a Pirates player since Jason Kendall reached in 28 consecutive road games in 2003.
McCutchen extended his mark to 26 straight road games by reaching base when he launched a solo homer in the third.
First number, last word
40: Number of games Pirates pitching has given up one run or no runs, the team's stingiest performance in that regard since the 1977 Bucs also held the opposition to one or none 40 times.
"We have a feeling we can go further than anyone thinks we can. It's going to be hectic -- but you dream of it, you hope for it."
-- A.J. Burnett, on the postseason voyage on which the Pirates are embarking.

" Paperback: 448 pages / Publisher: John Murray / Published: 29 Sep 2011 "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Everyone knows about the revolution in Russia in 1917 in which the Bolsheviks ousted the Romanovs, the Russian royal family, but in fact plots to seize power from the ruling elite had been taking place for decades. 'To Kill a Tsar' is fiction but it is based on the various attempts of a revolutionary party, 'The People's Will', to kill Tsar Aleksander II in the 1880s.
Central to the story is Frederick Hadfield, a young Anglo Russian doctor who works partly in a military hospital, and partly ministering to the medical needs of the wealthy ex-pat British contingent in St. Petersburg as well as some influential Russians. At a party a left leaning friend from his student days in Zurich introduces Frederick to Anna, who subsequently asks Frederick to volunteer his services at a Sunday clinic for some of the city's poorest people. The doctor is reluctant and his acceptance of the request is more to do with his growing feelings for Anna than it is a sense of duty or an act of charity.
Anna is a member of 'The People's Will', a revolutionary party that has already made several very bold but unsuccessful attempts to assassinate the Tsar. Anna explains to Frederick that the party organises the clinics because the members believe that it is a route into the working classes and that in time they can spread their message more widely and gain support. While Frederick is not unsympathetic to the goals of Anna and her comrades, he does not believe in the use of violence to effect change, but he can't disentangle himself from this alluring woman. Frederick risks bringing himself to the attention of the secret police by being connected with Anna; not only would this be disastrous for his career and damaging to his connections, the methods of the secret police are notoriously brutal and the likely punishment for those found participating in political terrorism is execution.
When Anna becomes more and more distant Frederick starts to wonder what she is up to and after some discreet investigating he realises that The People's Will may be about to launch their most dramatic attempt yet to kill the Tsar. If he goes to the police he risks losing Anna; even if she is not killed or imprisoned she will reject him for the betrayal. By simply saying nothing he not only betrays his own moral beliefs, he fails to stop death and injury; as a doctor this goes against his oath. Will Frederick remain silent? Will the authorities uncover the plot and stop it before the plan is executed?
'To Kill a Tsar' is a gripping read. The dramatic opening hooked me instantly and, though the place alternates between slow and threatening and brisk and exciting, I never lost interest. The author, Andrew Williams, formerly a television journalist with the BBC, evokes the sights, sounds and attitudes of nineteenth century Russia with some wonderfully descriptive writing making not only St. Petersburg but also rural Russia jump off the pages. A blend of historical fiction, romance and political thriller, this novel reminded me of 'Dr. Zhivago' and generally Williams captures a strong sense of Russianness that is reminiscent of the great Russian morality novels.
The People's Will operated in Russia for around two years and during that time it caused major headaches for the authorities; though their attempts to assassinate the Tsar were repeatedly unsuccessful, they did cause death and injury and often it was only through bad luck that they failed. The revolutionaries played a game of cat and mouse with the secret police and though many of their number were arrested and exiled or executed, a core membership continued to work on the grand plan. Williams tries to reflect this dogged persistence but this does become a little tiring in the second half of the novel as the reader is subject to a continual merry -go-round of plotting, police work, arrests and interrogations. Similarly the now she's there, now she's gone nature of Frederick and Anna's relationship becomes drawn out and tedious, with their liaisons following a predictable course that serve only to add more pages to the book with no real impact on the story.
he romance between Frederick and Anna is the crux of the story because it is the link between the revolutionaries and the system they are trying to put an end to. If this were an entirely fictional story this might work better but I found that the romantic element dominates the story at the loss of focus on the more interesting real life figures involved in the movement. I never really 'got' why Frederick remained besotted with Anna; there is no passion in the relationship and it seems unlikely that Frederick could fall for this cold woman.
What Williams does well is presenting both sides of the story and in doing so he gets the reader to consider these questions of morality, not just concerned with what Frederick should do with the information he has, but the use of violence to achieve noble political ends and the use of state sponsored terror to counteract that. You can read this as a simple thriller with a romantic subplot but Williams even handed telling of the story, taking in the points of views of not only the revolutionaries and Frederick, but also key members of the secret police, British diplomats and the international press, highlights the stark contrasts that the story is based around - poverty and wealth, morality and passion, and rationality and idealism.
Using the age old theme of an impossible romance to bridge the gap between two sides of a story doesn't quite work in this case but it didn't affect my enjoyment too much. As an historical thriller 'To Kill a Tsar' is exciting and thought provoking; Williams has struck on an excellent aspect of the Russian revolutionary movement for the subject of this compelling novel and paints an authentic and colourful picture of Russia.
If you've read and enjoyed the novels of Boris Akunin, you'd most likely enjoy this. It's not brilliant in every aspect but it's worth a read if you enjoy historical thrillers.

With Friday's launch of CU Homepage.com, Tammy Holtzmeier, president of business development/marketing firm Profound Communications in Cleveland, has realized her dream of providing an insider's guide to the credit union industry.
"CU Homepage started as a means to solve problem. We're good at reading our own press but that's where we drop the ball," said Holtzmeier, a former credit union CEO who serves as publisher of the aggregate news site, during the official launch party.
"Working at credit unions we all have a finite amount of time to keep up and read about the latest happenings, innovations and I wanted to widen exposure to all the good ideas out there not just within the industry but beyond," she said.
Wanting it to be available to credit union staff across all levels, the free site offers an array of not just news and blog links but also everything from polls, peer advice and a job board to trends and a customizable dashboard, where users can add news widgets based on their interests and needs.
According to Holtzmeier, the move was ultimately designed to help encourage collaboration, as anyone can contribute, share their success stories and challenges along the way.
The site includes an ongoing Twitter conversation– #CUTT25 – comprising credit union industry participants, including Sarah Snell Cooke, publisher/editor-in-chief of Credit Union Times.

The NCAA on Monday morning took a stand for, as president Mark Emmert put it, "maintaining the appropriate balance of our values,'' so that "programs and individuals do not overwhelm the values of higher education.''
In order to achieve that, Emmert and the NCAA draped itself in powers more recognizable to a professional sports league—the president of the governing body for intercollegiate sports as commissioner, backed by university presidents acting as team owners.
Chew on that irony for a few minutes.
Then, chew on this: The NCAA as we once knew it may be no more.
Every aspect of the way it went about imposing punishment on the Penn State football program was almost the exact opposite of how it has handled its business any time before. The hint in advance that their reaction to the Jerry Sandusky child-abuse scandal would be "unprecedented"—what an understatement.
Roger Goodell and David Stern would be proud of Emmert. Why not? For all intents and purposes, he's one of them now.
What remains to be seen, though, is whether this is the right direction in which the NCAA should turn—whether the path to reform in college sports goes through, essentially, an imperial presidency.
Part of that question: Is it worse than the way it did things before? It's hard to imagine it being worse, as borderline-unconstitutional as it has become lately, even more so than it historically has been.
This was an organization that defined itself as the governing body of college sports, charged with securing the best interests of the so-called "student-athletes,'' yet protected nobody's interests except its own, at the expense of those very students and athletes.
Nobody is more to blame for the foulness at Penn State than Sandusky. But the thread of accountability goes straight to the top. Not just to the top of the football program (Joe Paterno, whose coaching-wins record was gutted posthumously by the sanctions), or the athletic department (Tim Curley) or the school (Graham Spanier).
It goes to the top of the institution that enabled football to get so enormous in relation to the rest of the school, covering up multiple felonies to protect it was accepted and embraced.
The NCAA helped make this mess.
It owed it to everybody to clean it up.
The only way to clean it up, then, was to throw out the convoluted, illogical, unjust, unsupportable rulebook and the precedents set on its behalf, and lay down a new framework for governing it all.
Granted, the NCAA has no moral leg to stand on with this. At the same time, it has a history of making up rules and rulings to fit its agenda. Worse of all, the presidents who run the NCAA had the gall to stand in judgment of the creation of one of their own, someone whom they had elevated to a position of authority nearly as high as the one he held at Penn State—Spanier, a former chair of the board of directors and member of the executive committee, the two groups that gave Emmert this power to lay down the law.
But for a second, let's give Emmert and the presidents the benefit of the doubt.
The overwhelmingly heinous nature of what went on at Penn State might very well have slapped some sense of decency, fairness and responsibility into them. It hit them right between the eyes, and when their heads cleared, they might have seen the light: We can't let this happen again.
Under the NCAA as it usually conducts itself, it had no legitimate place in this scandal; this is above and beyond the usual pursuit of athletes receiving "improper benefits" like tattoos, taking no-show jobs and selling bowl jerseys.
On its watch, while demonizing the very concept of athletes sharing the wealth football generates, the NCAA allowed coaches to be elevated to icons, and the highest officials at the schools to become servile to those coaches.
Penn State was "an athletic culture gone awry,'' Emmert said. How many other big-revenue programs, football or men's basketball, does that apply to? The NCAA itself is the walking, breathing embodiment of that culture gone awry.
If the entire system isn't torn down and rebuilt from the ground up, though, the best course for change is for the NCAA to fundamentally change the way it works. Cutting through the maze of self-serving factions and having one person—with a conscience, preferably—oversee it all is far from the worst solution.
It has to stop acting like the NCAA. Act like the NFL or NBA? Not necessarily, but close. If nothing else, they'd come a little cleaner about being a billion-dollar business instead of a not-for-profit educational entity.
Look at the manner in which Emmert and the presidents threw precedent out, hit Penn State hard in the wallet and in the very legacies and entitlements that embodied the corrupt culture, and got Penn State to sign off on it. No investigative procedure, no committee on infractions, no due process.
It's a singular response to an extraordinary circumstance.
It also should be the new model for cleaning up the rot in the system.
To worry about how future schools will be handled next time they set up phony classes for players or sneak cars to recruits, is to miss the point. Those are just symptoms. The disease is so severe, extreme cures are necessary.
Emmert himself might not be the cure. But if college sports is serious about ensuring that there will never again be a fertile place on a college campus for a Sandusky, Paterno or Spanier to grow like a poisonous weed, then one powerful, unilateral voice can get them there.
If that voice is dedicated to balancing those values Emmert spoke about, then that promise can actually be fulfilled.

Stuart Hall: 'I will be lucky to live two years'
Veteran broadcaster STUART HALL has revealed the stress of his rape arrest has sparked a heart complaint that could kill him within two years.
The 83-year-old BBC sports commentator, who also fronted hit TV game show It's a Knockout, was arrested in December (12) and was later charged with rape and multiple counts of indecent assault over alleged incidents in the 1970s and '80s.
He appeared at Preston Magistrates Court on Thursday (07Jan13) for the latest hearing and told reporters he is determined to clear his name but the case has had a devastating impact on his health.
Hall says, "I shall be defending myself. I have never been through so much stress in my life... I'm 83 years old now and I was a healthy 83 year old but I am incubating a heart complaint and I will be very lucky to survive another couple of years, but I hope to survive those two years to regain my honour and my reputation and, more than ever, my life."

text: Threw some new tires on my Triumph Scrambler before heading North on a short trip. Didn't even make it out of Honda's parking lot before the bike slid out from under me as though I was on a sheet of ice. Combination of new tires covered with silicone, a newly seal coated parking lot, and an 865cc motor. Fortunately I was going slow but seeing my beautiful Scrambler sliding on the pavement nearly broke my heart. Not to mention the friction burn I received on my right knee from me sliding with it. Went straight to the store and bought a new pair of jeans. What happens on this forum stays on this forum right? Wife never needs to know (she'll just worry). :) And of course....after the fact everybody wanted to give me advice on being careful with new tires.

Secondly, I clearly said "It ended just fine". At the end of the game, we won, and that is, by any definition, "fine".
The goal of the game is to win, and we did that. I don't think they have ever given points for style in baseball. This isn't figure skating.
But those who came away from that game a little frustrated are not wrong. Chapman would have lost that game had Dusty not removed him. It was just...so to say...a microcosm of what has been a relatively frustrating season to this point for most fans. But you're right - we won, and that's the only outcome that matters.
I heard your record..it's alright.
I never understood people who complain about how "clean" a win is. The Reds are playing another major league club, the competition isn't single a where the Reds are just going to dominate. Friday afternoon the Cubs got to Chapman pretty good in the 9th.. uhhh.. he's not going to have a 0.00 ERA this year, folks. I'd rather him give up his runs in a semi close game like that where we still win without giving up the lead. It almost makes me mad how some people honestly have the mindset to complain about wins.

Team WHIP for pitchers today, under 1.0
That's decent.
Broxtob had one bad/horrid inning or his era is below 3 as well.
The hitting will come.
Great Pitching never really slumps.

I think that in a year or two, one of these guys - Frazier, Dorn, Valaika, Cumberland, Stubbs - will be ready to replace Dunn. They won't hit as many home runs as Dunn, but they should have similar OPS. - 757690, July 22, 2008

Good grief the team wins again, has taken 3 of their last 5 and will be home for a nice homestand soon. The Reds are gonna hit and are gonna win the Central
