Rolen continues to amaze
TORONTO — One play that kind of got lost among the pile of twists and turns in Wednesday night's 5-4 extra-inning victory over the Twins was an absolute gem of a grab by Blue Jays third baseman Scott Rolen.
In a 4-4 deadlock, with two outs in the top of the 10th inning and a runner on third base for Minnesota, Alexi Casilla smoked a pitch down the third-base line. Rolen glided to his right and made a swift back-handed stab at the ball as he dropped to his knees.
Rolen recovered quickly, rising to one knee — just high enough to provide enough leverage to fire the baseball across the diamond to first baseman Lyle Overbay. If Casilla was safe, a run scores and the Twins grab a 5-4 lead. But Rolen — as he's done so often this year — made a rocket of a throw that retired the runner in time.
"Like I've said, Rolen is the best third baseman I've ever been around," Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston said. "Rolen continues to amaze me with the plays that he makes, and the accurate throws that he makes after he catches the ball from his knees."
Shortstop John McDonald was hustling over to back Rolen up on the play, so he didn't have the greatest view of the catch — not that Johnny Mac needed to see it. Once he figured Rolen had it in his glove, the shortstop knew it was inning over.
"As soon as [the umpire] called it fair I knew Scotty was going to make the play," McDonald said. "He's the best third baseman in the game, so you kind of start jogging off the field once he gets the ball in his glove."

JUST FOR FUN: Since Gaston took over as Toronto's manager on June 20, the club has been one of the best in the American League. Here are the the AL East standings since Gaston's arrival:
Overall, the Jays have the fourth-best mark in the league since Gaston came on board, trailing only the Angels (43-24), Rays (43-29) and Twins (40-26). Soooo, if the season started on June 20 and ended on Wednesday, the Jays would be hanging a Wild Card championship banner in the Rogers Centre rafters. Ah, well…

Rolen is the best third baseman in the league.I just hope his shoulder is okay next season so his bat comes around.When he started the season he was great,now he will have another off season to heal ,I wish him all the luck in the world and thats a lot.
Gsumner where are you????.
It looks like that stint in the minors did Litsch a world of good.When he threw 58 pitches in 3 INN I thought it was going to be a short night for him.Instead he goes the distance,Good for him.
Good for Litsch indeed and how about Snider's night ? What i've liked about him most is that he looks comfortable even with 2 strikes. Great stuff. Let's not forget Adam Lind either still above .300. I guess this team does have some young talent after all…
Every Jays fan out there knew about Lind and Snider now where are the rest of them.A dig is a dig Let's put THIS JP THING TO REST.
This will be my last comment for the night because i'm heading to bed but I find it funny how a couple of people on this blog can rip apart J.P. and at one point Gibbons all night but as soon as someone like Plus or me give Riccardi some credit (you know talk about some positives about this team for a change.) it's like it's forbidden or maybe we're just "J.P. lovers." I'll try and avoid this type of stuff again but I far one wasn't exactly enlightened when most of the time on this blog I kept reading about how crap the team is and how they'll never get passed 4th again. Not to mention the nickname "Abner" to Gibbons, completely unnecessary.
As for the rest of them: Litsch just threw a complete game shutout. Marcum at one point had a great ERA this season (still does) Janssen is injured. Hill is injured. Arencibia will be playing for a spot on the 25 man next year. Purcey is at the majors. Wolfe, Accardo, McGowan are all young and will contribute to the team next year.
I stand corrected on yesterday's comments. If Lind and Snider keep building on what they have done thusfar,signing a Manny in the offseason wouldn't be needed.Take the extra and extend Doc and go after Ben Sheets. Rolens work at rehabbing the shoulder seems to be bearing fruit.
So you liken yourself to the blog police now huh? No one pressures you to read anyone's entries and no one pressures you to respond to them. So keep your not so subtle inuendos to yourself.
In all your raves about Riccardi you continually miss one fact. Since he's been here, we've only risen above 3rd place once and currently sit in 4th place. That, as always is the bottom line. It's about winning, not having a bunch of nice players who are over paid and under perform. Please do some research and let us know how many GM's keep their jobs with similar performance.
And since you bring up Lind, I don't remember you jumping on Lind's bandwagon when I suggested he should have been brought up at the start of the year and played. That didn't happen because JP signed Stewart, Mench and Wilkerson. IF Cito hadn't have pressed for him to be brought up, he'd likely have spent the year in AAA.
I don't remember you supporting MCGowan either. We kept changing him from starter to reliever to AAA to MLB so many times, we damn near lost him in all the confusion. THe only reason he was put into the starting role and played is we had no other alternatives.
I also don't remember you suggesting Abner should be fired, when in fact he should have been canned a long time ago. Facts are facts-Cito has this team playing a lot better than Abner did.
We do have some potential good young talent, I post about them more than anyone else. The point is though it's very thin at upper levels since JP drafted so poorly for so many years.
The other fact is we need to bring them up and play them. I'll give you two perfect examples right now. Why is Thigpen up here instead of Arrenciba? Thigpen didn't make it up here before, had a terrible year in AAA and has been passed in the depth chart-so why is he here?
Why bring up Richmond instead of Dobriak? If we are going to get better next year, these kids should be up here. We should be playing them like we are Snider and see what they got.
jpriccardisucks.LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL.
It looks like J.Mac will play a bench role again next year,How can you leave Scuttaro and Mighty Joe's bat on the bench.
terence.I have to agree with you,If Snider keeps this pace up we will have our Manny so let's hope he does.
Enigma. Like I said were are the rest of them.Look at any other teams minor league system and you will see a hell of a difference,So please don't tell me we have drafted well.Every one knows that drafting is a crap shoot,Iguess OUR GM must have been playing roullett instead,Let's face it it's time for a change before it is to late.
To jpriccardisucks:
I suspect that Arrenciba and Dobriak were not September callups because they are not on the 40 man roster. Although there is currently room on that roster, they may be leaving room for moves during the off-season, such as Janssen and Hill coming off the 60 day DL.
So far it doesn't look like any of the September callups are going to get much playing time.
BTW I would like to see Richmond get another start.
Hey gsumner! Nice to have you back. I missed your nonsense. jpricciardisucks, haha, that is so clever.
Plus why don't you change your handle to Plus-263 to match your brain cells lol.
LOL, brilliant.
I agree with Steve re: why Arrenciba and Dobriak weren't called up with the expanded rosters. I don't know the ins and outs of it, but it's pretty rare for teams to shuffle their 40 man rosters just for the sake of September call-ups (unless, of course, you're a budding superstar like Snider). For example, that's why a guy like Mench was brought up instead of Wayne Lydon, who would be a nice, late-inning pinch runner to have on the bench. Lydon isn't on the 40 man roster, but Mench is.
But why JP brought up Mench instead of Buck Coats, on the other hand, is another story altogether….
Plus the clever part is he actually has you typing jpricciardisucks.LOL.
Mench and Wilkerson [spelling may be wrong] can't help this team anymore so why not cut them loose and bring up a pair of young players like a Coats or Lydon and see what they have.The Thigpen move dosn't make any sense when you have Greg Zaun who is making over 3 mil. sitting on the bench,Maybe Cito just dosn't like Zaun although I can't see it,Can anyone figure this one out,
Didn't type jpricciardisucks – used cut & paste.
Many teams carry three catchers all season. To me it's a no-brainer to call up a third catcher in September. And since Thigpen is the only other catcher on the 40 man.
BTW, I don't think that Cito thinks about how much $$$ a player is making when he makes up the line-up. If he did Lind and Snider wouldn't be playing, and Eckstein would have gotten many more starts.
It really isn't odd to have three catchers up in September. If I remember correctly, last year in September the Jays had Fasano, Thigpen, and Zaun all up.
I think Zaun's riding the bench because not only is his bat looking pretty feeble, but he's looked pretty bad defensively, too. Zaun's never had much of an arm, but he's been pretty good in the past at blocking pitches and blocking a runner coming home from third. Maybe it's just me, but this year he hasn't looked good behind the plate. Barajas, plain and simple, has outperformed him in all facets of the game. Maybe Zaun's time even as a back-up in the Majors has come to an end?
Not to mentin Zaun asked to be traded and there were, literally, no takers….
Then why not cut Zaun loose and bring up Arrenciba,how hard is it to put him on the 40 man roster.
Steve.I know the money doesn't allways come into play when making the line up card all I said is it seems like a waste to sit Zaun.
Hemgold you may be right about Zaun not performing but at the first third of the season he was okay.This team is going nowhere this year so why not let him play a few games who can it hurt, Can you imagine how Zaun feels after all he gave this team all he had and then some.I myself was never a big fan of Zauns but I just think it's a shame that he is going out this way.
Prediction – Jays go 15-8 to close out the season, to end up with 88 wins. The most in the last 10 years.
It is interesting to note the level of excitement and optimism in some of these posts regarding Snider. This should not be unexpected, since that is what real talent can do. The problem, as gsumner correctly points out, is that it is too little too late. This team is almost 10 games out of the wild-card race, and there is no reason to believe that they will not be in the same situation next year. Yes, the team can potentially play better. But surely this is more or less true of the other teams in the league. Yes, we have a few prospects in our system with some potential, but according to those in the know, other teams have more, highly-ranked talent on the way. I would rather see the Jays take a page from the leafs (can I really be saying this?) and fire JP. Then, bring in a new general manager who does not have the pressure of making short-term decisions. Allow him to try and move some of these big contracts making room for some of precious little talent we do have, while re-stocking the farm system with more tier 1 players, like Snider, through trades and judicious drafting. I would rather watch a .500 team with young kids with the potential of Snider, than watch a .500 team with a mixture of old and young talent. We need to get the young talent in place, then build around it. The Jays have numerous decent utility players, but precious few tier 1 players. With the Yankees likely to spend 1/4 billion dollars on free agents, and a host of excellent young talent in AAA, we are going to have a plan in place for the future, or we are going to on the outside looking in, as usual. I, like everyone here enjoys the little run we are on. But it will take a run like this over an entire season just to contend.
I don't understand why people think this team needs to rebuild. I'd like to see a full year of Cito and Lind, a healthy Hill and Wells, and a capable DH before I put up the white flag. I don't see why this team should rebuild when they have the best pitching in the League, and enough offensive potential which they have shown since Cito took over, whether it is his doing, or due to the fact that they had nowhere to go but up.
Blog police ? Correct me if i'm wrong sumner, but wasn't it Garry the one who told me to put something to rest. That seems like just as much policing as what I typed out. How convenient that you ignored that. You 2 also have a history of telling people here that they aren't welcome and that they shouldn't rip others for their opinion when in most cases they're just disagreeing with you. That's policing.
I never asked for Gibbons to be fired because I felt it wasn't justified. It wasn't his fault that Overbay, Rolen, Rios, Stairs and at the time Hill were underachieving. IT WAS THE PLAYERs. The guys I just mentioned were the same guys that performed well last year UNDER GIBBONS (with the exception of Overbay and Rolen for obvious reasons) It's true that they've played much better under Cito and it could also be a coincedence. I remember you stating that the teams biggest problem was always Gibbons. He's gone now so why is it that you say things like: this team will never finish above 4th for a long time.
One more season in triple A wouldn't have killed Lind. If he's as good as you believe he would've won a spot next year and it's always better to bring a player up a year too late than a year too early. FACT J.P. still drafted him. The one thing I can criticize Gibbons for is that when he was up here under him he never had a chance to prove himself against lefties. Also if Stewart had been healthy he'd be capable of putting up similar numbers minus the power.
McGowan went back and forth so many times because he wasn't ready..Halladay also went back to single A, it happens. Hence the signings of Thompson and Ohka. They turned out to be brutal it's true but it gave Dustin time in triple A. When Ohka continued to suck more so than his previous years, that's when Marcum got his shot (I think that's how it went.) The reason I don't ever ask for them to be called up is because in triple A I don't ever see them play. I don't know enough about the minor leagues to make a case for anybody to be called up so I don't pretend to.
Those kids you speak of likely wont get a shot next year unless a bunch of injuries happen again (the main reason why the Jays didn't finish in a better position last year) or as September callups. They don't need to be rushed. I'll give you Arrencibia because if they plan to use him as the primary catcher (according to what i've heard) next year then they should let him get his feet wet and thus cut Zaun as Garry suggested.
Why does it not space out….I used triple space!
Why not bring up J.P. Arencibia? Because he has sparkled at each level of the minors. Makes no sense right? Wrong. He's in his first full season of professional ball. Let him build on the success he's had by tearing up the AFL, and have him come into spring training strong competing for the backup role in 2009 behind Barajas (sorry Zaunie, you're a gamer, but it's getting near the end). Bring him up now, you run the risk of him having a rough patch competing against teams that may actually be in a pennant race and losing some of that swagger he must have right about now. From the business end, why put him on the 40-man and start his Major League service for essentially a run at third place. With Snider's early success, I'm as excited as everyone else about Arencibia potentially pulling the same trick, but the season is done for the titles (for us) – no sense in gorking the future too.
I guess I was wrong when I said to put the JP isue to rest.after all he is the GM and some of us are not happy with the way he has run the ballclub and some of you are happy with the job he has done.BUT we have to stop calling each other MORONS just because we don't like what others post.
Tonights game should be a good one, The Rays have always played the butts off of the Jays.Let's hope we give them hell tonight.
Enigma I have begged for more people to post on this blog so I don't understand why you say Different please explain.My little feelings are hurt.lol.
Enigma.I hit enter three times and it works for me.
It's very simple on Arrencibia. Why wouldn't you bring him up and have him hang out and learn from Zaun, Cito and Barajas, making the transition easier next year. The sooner he gets here the better-or is JP thinking of signing another 40 year old dead wood and pay them 3 million instead?
Arrencibia just hit more hr's than any catching prospect in recent minor league history and you guys are worried we need to change the 40 man roster. I won't bore anyone with the dead on the 40 man roster who should be moved off anyway, Thigpen being one of them, not withstanding a few guys coming off at the end of the season because they won't be re-signed.
Sorry that excuse doesn't buy any ciigars lads. And let's face reality. The ONLY reason JP recalled Richmond was to calm down some of the flack he took from the Olympic screw up-nothing else. He played politics instead of trying to build the team for next year.
You are one of few Toronto fans that didn't think Abner should have been fired. If JP is fired this year and I hope he is, his tardniness of firing Abner will probably be one of the major nails in his coffin.
Leaving Lind at AAA, signing Stewart, Mench and Wikerson was a collosal mistake-and the results prove it. Why is it, you want to keep signing these old has beens and keep the young kids with so much potential in the minors? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Fact is the sooner they're here the sooner they settle in and grow into their position. Not calling up Arrencibia is a dumb move. By the way these kids are also a lot less costly and give us budget room to sign better free agents.
You are dead wrong on McGowan. We messed him up by changing his slot from a starter to a short reliever, to a closer, to a long reliever and then back to a starter. We're fortunate we had so many injuries and was forced to do what I said should have happened right at the start. Run him out there, give him 10-15 starts and let him settle in. If we want young pitchers, we need to play them through thick and thin, UNTIL they settle in.
Right now, I stand by my prediction of finishing 4th next year. NY will lose about $80 million in payroll this year and you can bet they will spend it signing every single good pitcher available with Sabathia being the first one signed. I see TB getting stronger next year and Boston will re-tool as need be to contend. I also see Baltimore making a significant improvement next year and do not see us having the horses to compete now or making the changes we should be making now to improve ourselves next year. You think differently and that's your opinion. Lets compare notes on that this time next year.
One last point. I don't lie nor like liars and you lied about me or Garry telling people they aren't wanted here. That is pure b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t. There's been a lot of times only Garry and I were the only ones posting here and we both encouraged others to post. I do not attack anyone, unless I'm attacked first and even then, I have tended to give everyone a few mistakes. So, you've now had yours. Post another lie with me involved and expect to get it back. Along with a different posting name comes a different level of patience and mine is thinner than it used to be.
Arencibia is in AA right now. I have no problem with having him go the AFL, then start the season in AAA next year. He probably gets called up midseason, if all goes well, which I expect it would. Apparently, he's got to work on his command of the strike zone. Let him get a little bit better, and then call him up TO STAY.
Just my opinion though. I'm not too worried, because he's young. He'll get up to the majors soon, and Barajas starting 80% of the games next year, at least to start, is fine with me.
Dopirak on the other, I wish they had called up. They have nothing to lose with him and he's not reporting to the AFL to my knowledge. It'd be an excuse to put him on the 40-man roster, as he's a free agent next year, unless he gets on the 40-man. I would have liked to see him get 20-25 at bats in September.
Relax. You take this blog thing too seriously. It's supposed to be just for fun. We're not making any decisions that affect the Blue Jays, or anything anywhere for that matter. No need to get emotional. A good argument is fun. And it's OK to lose one once in a while. Happens to me all the time.
Hey dipshi-t (yeah you gsumner), were you calling for Gibbons to be fired after that 20-10 May? Why don't you go cheer for the Leafs.
You've got to take it easy.
And that's all I've got to say.
heydipshi-t. I called for firing abner last year jerk.
Oh thats right, he's JPs boy, so you have to not like him. Why are you even a Jays fan? If you think the team is destined for 4th next year, why are you still around here? Go watch the CFL with the 6 other fans they have.
hey if you like to continue finishing 3rd or 4th go stay with the Maple Leafs like the rest of the lossers.
Ok, fine, but you'll still be a moron who can't spell loser.
and you will simply be a moron
but I can spell
true, but it is too bad you forget your comma's, like the one you should have put after but. Now, grow up sonny boy.
If we're going to nitpick, you forgot one after the and two posts ago. You need to learn your apostrophes too. I need to grow up? Your name is extremely mature, but if being right all the time means I suck, then you definitely don't suck.
careful son, your immaturity is starting to show in your posts. lol
JP, if he is still the guy, needs to add a closer to his off-season shopping list or groom League for that spot. Ryan is consistently erratic and an accident looking for a place to happen and one of the only real areas of concern in an otherwise very solid pitching corps.

Treatment Options
Surgical treatment of breast cancer has made great advances over the past few decades. The most significant has been the replacement of the once common and only surgical option available, radical mastectomy, with less disfiguring, yet highly effective surgeries and other therapies. Today the total removal of chest muscles, breast tissue, and lymph nodes is likely to be done only when a tumor has invaded the muscle beneath the breast. There are three other types of mastectomy, which may be offered by your surgeon — modified radical mastectomy, simple mastectomy, and subcutaneous mastectomy. In the modified radical mastectomy, the chest muscles are spared and the breast and lymph nodes are removed. Over the years it became clear that survival was not increased by the removal of the chest wall muscles, so modified radical mastectomies replaced the radical mastectomy. Prosthetic reconstruction is easier than in a radical mastectomy and problems with the arm are not as likely to occur. In a simple mastectomy, the surgeon removes only the breast. A subcutaneous mastectomy removes only the breast tissue, leaving the skin and some superficial tissue.
Breast conservation therapy, or lumpectomy, is the removal of the malignant lump and the lymph nodes under the arm, leaving the remainder of the breast intact. A lumpectomy is a viable choice for breast cancer treatment when the tumor is small. The procedure is almost always followed by five to six weeks of radiation therapy to destroy any remaining cancer cells. Studies have revealed that in early stage breast cancer, the combination of lumpectomy and radiation therapy has the same success rate as modified radical mastectomy. Some women prefer a lumpectomy because it allows them to keep their breast. However, it should be noted that lumpectomy may not be an option for pregnant women; those whose tumor is large relative to the size of the breast; those who have had previous radiation therapy to the breast; and those who are unwilling or unable to have radiation therapy.
Early studies demonstrated that lumpectomy alone may not eradicate the presence of breast cancer. In fact, breast cancer will recur in approximately 20 percent of lumpectomy patients who do not also receive radiation therapy. Radiation treatment to decrease risk of local reoccurrence almost always follows a lumpectomy and is recommended whenever the cancer has reached the lymph nodes. Before treatment, the patient's skin is marked to identify the area where radiation must be targeted. The painless treatment usually involves five to six weeks of x-rays to the chest and/or underarm area for a few minutes at a time. When cancer metastasizes to the bone, radiation is often used to ease the pain. The specialist who administers this treatment is a radiation oncologist or radiotherapist. There are several side effects to radiation. Fatigue is commonly experienced toward the end of the radiation series. The skin in the treated area will look and feel slightly sunburned. This problem fades about a month or more after the treatments end. Care should be taken when exposing the treated area to the sun. Protective clothing and sunscreen are advised.
Surgery and radiation therapy are intended to treat a localized area of the body. If the breast cancer cells migrate or metastasize to other parts of the body, medicine is needed that can be distributed throughout the body. Chemotherapy is that medicine. Chemotherapy drugs — chemicals that destroy tumor cells — are given either intravenously, in pill form, or through a combination of the two methods. The course of treatment may be over a four to six month period in three or four week cycles. A medical oncologist provides the chemotherapy. Because chemotherapy can also injure healthy cells, a medical oncologist must adjust the dosage and combination of drugs for each breast cancer patient. Chemotherapy works best for women who have not yet gone through menopause. Several side effects are associated with chemotherapy. They are nausea, vomiting, hair loss, mouth sores, vaginal sores, and fatigue. Certain chemotherapies also cause infertility and premature menopause.
In treating breast cancer, hormone therapy may be used on its own, in conjunction with chemotherapy or following chemotherapy. The most commonly used hormone drug is an anti-estrogen agent called tamoxifen. The role of estrogen in causing breast cancer is still debated, but scientists have found that the hormone can be used to block the production of cancer cells. In order to determine whether anti-estrogen treatment will be effective, a pathologist will study the biopsied breast tissue. If the tissue is found to be estrogen-receptor positive, hormone therapy may be able to fight the cancer. The side effects of hormone therapy can include weight gain, mood swings and hot flashes. One serious side effect of using tamoxifen is an increase in the risk of endometrial cancer, or cancer of the uterus. Many physicians believe that the benefits of using tamoxifen outweigh that potential risk.
Reconstructive surgery and cosmetic prosthesis are two options for breast cancer patients who have had surgery to remove part or all of their breast tissue. Those who prefer to have breast reconstruction may choose an implant or an autologous reconstruction. The latter uses a woman's own fatty tissue, muscle, and skin from her back or belly to create a breast shape. In either case, it is also possible to have the nipple and the areola reconstructed. Responding to reports that implants were making women ill, the United States Food and Drug Administration now regulates the use of breast implants. Implants are made of either saline or silicone. Silicone-filled implants may only be used by women who have had a mastectomy, and then only if they agree to participate in a clinical trial. Mastectomy patients may also use saline-filled implants, and they are encouraged to participate in a clinical study. By participating in a study, a woman will receive close follow-up for five years and may also get some financial assistance..

About 25 percent of New York's local governments have indicated that they may override...
About 25 percent of New York's local governments have indicated that they may override the property-tax cap in 2013 — up from 19 percent at this same time last year, Gannett's Albany Bureau reported over the weekend.
where you can look at whether your local government plans to override the cap. It's not all the governments yet; about 58 percent already reported their plans to the state Comptroller's Office.
Municipal officials said the overrides are the result of a squeeze on their budgets. Some counties, towns and villages are overriding the cap as a precaution to ensure they are not penalized if they accidentally exceed their tax limit.
"Basically, it's so difficult on how to come to that figure on the tax cap, you almost have to override it to protect yourself as a town," said Dewey Decker, supervisor of the town of Sanford, Broome County.
About 1,575 taxing entities in New York, including fire districts and libraries, had filed their cap plans with the state Comptroller's Office as of Thursday, or 58 percent of them. Of those, 387 said they planned an override, Gannett Albany Bureau's review of the data showed.
The governments run on a fiscal year that starts Jan. 1.

VICE travels to West Africa to rummage through the messy remains of a country ravaged by 14 years of civil war. Despite the United Nation's eventual intervention, most of Liberia's young people continue to live in abject poverty, surrounded by filth, drug addiction, and teenage prostitution. The former child soldiers who were forced into war have been left to fend for themselves, the murderous warlords who once led them in cannibalistic rampages have taken up as so-called community leaders, and new militias are lying in wait for the opportunity to reclaim their country from a government they rightly mistrust.

"Smash" returns, retuned for season 2
"Smash," the great TV hope of theater lovers everywhere when it debuted last year, spun wildly, famously out of control. It returns Tuesday with a two-hour season premiere on NBC, 8-10 p.m. locally on Channel 9. Much of the insanity that drove viewers to "hate-watch" the show in its first season has been scrubbed. Competence reigns. The results are mixed.
Season 1 descended into a riot of crazy story lines, unlikable characters, over-the-top production numbers (even a Bollywood effort) and meandering themes. Some hate-watchers even ridiculed the wardrobes (Debra Messing's scarf choices took a beating online). Season 2 brings order. The revamped series trims the Ellis story, thankfully, and keeps Messing's character centered on her work rather than her failed marriage and adoption plans. New characters, notably Andy Meintus ("Spring Awakening") and Jeremy Jordan ("Newsies") as songwriting team, are both more interesting and more logical to the story. The best news may be the addition of Jennifer Hudson, who brings the diva population to three with Katharine McPhee and Megan Hilty.
A more disciplined "Smash" is better, even if it's not as much fun to deride. The crazy is mostly gone and the more straightforward premiere is easier to take semi-seriously. The concept and direction are refined, Hudson adds style and energy, competent TV showrunners have made the project –formerly under (Denver Center alum) playwright Theresa Rebeck–somewhat more realistic. Through it all, the viewer may have the sensation that a hard-working committee has done its job. "Smash" is now safe from hate-watchers, but that may significantly reduce its joyfully derisive audience. Safe TV doesn't usually amount to much.

Just a wee tip for anyone doing this, if you're planning on using the train/subway, get a Roundabout ticket, its £5 covers you from Motherwell to Dalreoch, down to Paisley Gilmour St, and along to Drumgelloch, and Springburn, Barrhead, Croy and all of the Neilston, Newton and Circle stations £2.50 for kids.
Unlimited travel valid all day sat/sun, can get it from manned stations and on train at un-manned stations.
Alternatively the Daytrippers are still available too...1 adult/2kids £9, 2ads/4kids £16 or the Kids Go Free 1ad/2kids, 2ads/4kids (price dependant on the cost of the journey), issued same as the roundabout.
Hope this helps

• Sean Penn is in talks to star in the action thriller Prone Gunman, based on the novel by the late French author Jean-Patrick Manchette about an international assassin who runs afoul of the organization that hires him after he says he wants out of the business. (Silly assassin; shadowy global organizations are never keen on quiet retirement.) Peter Travis adapted the screenplay; there is no director yet attached. [THR]
• John Hawkes, lately winning Oscar buzz for The Sessions, has signed on for Low Down, a biopic of jazz pianist Joe Albany. He replaces Mark Ruffalo, who had originally been attached to tell the story of Albany's relationship with his young daughter Amy through the 1960s and 70s. That same daughter co-wrote the screenplay as an adult, with Topper Lilien (Where the Money Is, Dungeons & Dragons). Commercial director Jeff Preiss will make his directorial debut with the project. [Variety]
• George Clooney is in talks to star in Disney's tightly guarded sci-fi project 1952, which Brad Bird is attached to direct. Damon Lindelof co-wrote the film with EW senior writer Jeff Jensen. [Variety]
• Modern Family's Ty Burrell will play a love interest for Bill Hader in the indie dramedy The Skeleton Twins, about grown siblings (Hader and Kristen Wiig) who reevaluate their lives after they both have a near-death experience on the same day. Luke Wilson plays Wiig's husband. Director Craig Johnson (True Adolescents) cowrote the film with Mark Heyman (Black Swan). [Variety]
• Eric Bana is negotiating to star in the paranormal thriller Beware the Night, about a cop who investigates possessions — and not the drug kind. (Cue scary organ music.) Scott Derrickson (The Exorcism of Emily Rose) will direct from the script he penned with Paul Harris Boardman (The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Urban Legends: Final Cut). Jerry Bruckheimer is producing. [TheWrap, Variety]
• The cast for the drama You're Not You — starring Hilary Swank as a woman living with ALS (i.e. Lou Gehrig's disease) and Emmy Rossum as the self-involved co-ed who is hired to care for her — has filled out its cast. Marcia Gay Harden, Loretta Devine, Jason Ritter, Ernie Hudson, Frances Fisher, Ali Larter, and Julian McMahon have all joined the cast, which also includes Josh Duhamel. George C. Wolfe (Nights in Rodanthe) is directing the script from Shana Feste (Country Strong) and Jordan Roberts (Around the Bend), adapted from the novel by Michelle Wildgen. [THR]

On this page, you will find the prices for Luxury car rental in Nizhny Novgorod - Railway, Russian Federation from the best rental companies. Our service allows you to compare the prices for different cars and choose the best option of Luxury rental car for you.
Below are the lists of Luxury cars, available for rental in Nizhny Novgorod - Railway, Russian Federation, as well as nearby locations. These lists contain the models and basic characteristics of cars, as well as their approximate prices. They allow the estimation of the level of prices and the range of the possible options. To learn about the precise prices and availability of the cars for the required dates, please fill in the dates of the beginning and the end of the rental in the search form above and press the "Search" button, or just press the "Check" button below the image of the car you prefer.
Nissan X-Trail
Mercedes E Class
Audi Q7
Volkswagen Touareg
7 seat people carrier
Volkswagen Caravelle
BMW 3 Series
The presented lists contain the data obtained by our system from the previous car rental requests in Nizhny Novgorod - Railway, Russian Federation and the nearby locations. Since the prices depend on the season of rental, the actual prices on the requested date may be different from the represented ones.
The premium cars on our site vary from Compact cars to SUVs. Here you can find any car you like.
Renting a luxury class car consider the fact that the size of the trunk may be pretty small (like in cabriolets), so if you have a lot of luggage you may rent railings or a roof rack.
VIP-cars are very powerful so they have higher fuel consumption (20% higher than the Standard group cars). We recommend you to get familiar with the fuel policy of the rented car beforehand and mark the fuel stations on the map.
Using the list of the available locations near the required Luxury pick-up spot, you can easily decide which one will be the most convenient for your rental.
If you'd like to rent an elite car, mind the fact that the minimum age of the driver is higher than that of the rental of a lower class car. The luxury cars may be rented only by drivers who have reached the age of at least 25-26.
The minimal age is higher because the luxury cars are more expensive, and the company has to make sure that the driver will safely get to the destination point.
On the other hand, you won't have to pay additional fees. The acceptable age of the driver depends on the company policy, as well as on the country where you are going to rent a car.
If your car lacks some options which could be useful during your trip, you can add them when you are ordering. Here is a short list of additional options and equipment you can add to your car if required:
Yes, you can get a specific car model if you see the "Guaranteed car model" sign by the image of the car.
Don't forget to print out a confirmation voucher for your car reservation after you have filled all necessary fields and completed the booking of the car, as contact number of the rental company is stated there. You can always call them and clarify if you're going to get the required car model.

After decades of pursuing trade with western Europe, Finland is becoming dependent on Russia again as that country's burgeoning middle class and wealthy investors provide opportunities for growth lacking in recession-hit Europe.
While some Finns still view their eastern neighbor and former ruler with suspicion, expectations of only a slow European recovery mean more businesses are likely to embrace closer ties with Russia, signaling a readjustment after two decades of close commercial relations with Europe.
Recent trade data show a shift has already begun. Finnish exports to the rest of the EU fell 4 percent year-on-year in the first five months of this year, while those to Russia rose 4 percent.
Judging from second-quarter corporate results, which showed a wide range of companies hit by uncertainty in Europe, Finland may become even more dependent on Russia.
Top companies such as retailer Kesko and department store chain Stockmann have cited Russia as their strongest card. Kesko, which controls about 35 percent of Finland's grocery and hardware trade, opened its second Russian food store in May and plans eight more in the next three years.
The expansion, which capitalizes on strong consumer trends as well as Finland's high reputation for food safety and product quality, comes as Kesko has cut hundreds of jobs in Finland and lowered its profit forecasts.
"The growth potential that the Russian markets offer to Finland is truly remarkable in the longer term," chief financial officer Jukka Erlund said.
Stockmann on Friday reported a surprise rise in quarterly operating profit, saying strong earnings in Russia, particularly at its department store in St Petersburg, offset weak spending in Finland.
Tire maker Nokian Renkaat started production in Russia in 2005, and has since been boosting capacity at its Vsevolozhsk factory near St Petersburg, enough to make it Russia's market leader in passenger vehicle tires.
"Finland and Finnish products have an excellent reputation in the country. Culturally, we are considered honest, almost naive," said Kim Gran, the tire maker's chief executive. "Finland's small businesses should make a stronger effort to establish operation in Russia."
Exports to Russia have almost tripled since 2000, led by growing demand for a range of goods including mining machinery, wood products and chemicals in addition to gadgets such as Nokia's mobile phones.
While Russia's growth has recently shown signs of slowing down amid falling oil and gas prices, economists say it still provides much-needed support for the small Finnish economy that is running a current account deficit and is expected to contract this year for the second year in a row.
While official relations with Russia are now mostly cordial, there is still a feeling of mistrust, particularly among older generations who experienced the 1939-1940 Winter War and subsequent Continuation War against the Soviet Union.
However, businesses are putting aside such historic grudges as roubles make up for a lack of domestic and European funds.
Russia's Rosatom recently emerged as the primary candidate to supply a reactor for Finland's nuclear consortium Fennovoima. Rosatom has said it may invest in the project, estimated to cost around 4 billion to 6 billion euros (US$5.34 billion to US$8 billion), which would put to rest funding concerns after German utility E.ON announced its exit from the consortium.

@CES 2019, are you sure you are allowing Remy Ludo Gieling in your building? He has yet to rectify KEES € 45,000,000 in turnover. He is together with the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs in the US at #CES2019.
Theresa May, Nissan UK + Unilever UK
September 2019, British people, after Brexit, we don't need your Nissan cars and Unilever products. It will be the end of UK economy. My name is KEES and Unilever used my name for a product. Keep Unilever in the UK. We don't need Unilever in The Netherlands.
Often brushing with OralB's electric toothbrush has the side effect that your gums can gradually disappear. Many elderly people (aged 55 and 60) suffer from it. Ask your dentist if you should stop using OralB.
I'm a new user of an electric toothbrush and starting experience a localized spot of gum tenderness/sensitivity. As of two days ago, I have been informed that I have a receding gumline and exposed root on one tooth. This hasn't been a problem before. Could my use of an electric toothbrush be to blame? YES , my dentist answered.
"On The Way To Plant Proof" is a new Dutch sustainability quality mark.
Friesland is a province in the north of the Netherlands. Belgium is located south of the Netherlands. The sustainability label "on the way to the PlantProof "has a collaboration with Friesland Campina that calls the milk from Belgium "Friesche Vlag", as if the milk comes from Friesland, which is 400 kilometers to the north.
In the Netherlands the Unilever product FLORA is called BECEL.
Magazine and website Sprout (part of MT media group) does not correct the error of € 45,000,000. KEES (part of listed Value8) did not expect 50 million sales but only 5 million in 2016. This is a difference of 900%
The journalist involved now works at RTLZ
Under the guise of PRESS FREEDOM, it is possible to increase the turnover of a listed company by 900% through an RTL journalist or a journalist of MT mediagroep. The price of the share can therefore increase. Value8 has also succeeded.
we ask very diplomatically whether Unilever, Sprout and RTL can restore the meaning of the name KEES.
KEES is the name of a person and not suitable as a name for a product
Karin Husslage from Sprout, now from RTLz, refuses to rectify 45 million.
The end of the trademark attorneys is near, because Unilever pays since1971 for the trademark OMO, but OMO.nl is not from Unilever.

Gender-Neutral Words and Terms
As English speaking Western cultures and societies have evolved over the past few decades, the use of gender-specific language has (is becoming) a thing of the past. Although the extent of this may still vary from country, it is now becoming more common and acceptable to use gender-neutral terms when writing and speaking in English.
Following is a list of gender-specific words/terms with their recommended gender-neutral equivalents. The words/terms that I have included on the list are what I consider to be the most frequently encountered in day-to-day writing and speaking.

Message LIFTKEURMERK.nl Keurmerk is the Dutch name for quality mark
The source of this story is the Dutch lift institute liftinstituut.nl april 2017
Safety hazard braking lift installations Lift institute has found that the safety of braking of lifts, older than 5 years and provided with speed control, is insufficiently guaranteed in a number of cases. The chance of an accident is small, but if this happens, it can lead to very serious injury. Lift Institute asks lifts to discuss this risk with the lifton maintenance company. Together, it is possible to determine which lifts this might apply and to what extent additional security or other action is desirable.
Potentially unsafe situations
The reminder of the reminder may be due to a single error that is not detected, such as:
• Burned brake coil or fuse in brake circuit, defective brake relay etc.
• Voltage drop in brake circuit by, for example, many serial relay contacts connected in series
As a result, the brake does not light or is not sufficiently illuminated while driving. Because the lifting motor drive clutch can be larger than the brake clutch, the engine can pull the lift 'by the brake'.
• Overheating and excessive wear on brake
• Failure braking operation
• Uncontrolled lifting movement
What installations are it?
The failure of the braking action was noted in the case of elevators without controlled drive due to discrepancies. This is not the case with lifts with a controlled drive. A brake failure is usually not detected in a different way. Additionally important to report: more and more lifts are modernized with a controlled drive. In many cases without detection of braking. This because this is not mandatory.
Only the latest lifting requirements (NEN-EN 81-1 + A3 and EN 81-20 / 50) require measures against uncontrolled movements. For all lifts of 2012, the risk of uncontrolled movement is not covered by the rules.
Rem Examination Lift Institute 2014
In 2014, Lift Institute conducted a limited investigation into controlled-drive lifts with the aim of obtaining an estimate of the likelihood of uncontrolled movement due to a failure in the brake circuit.
• Number of lifts tested: 54 = 100%
• Number of good: 33 = 61% (almost no chance of uncontrolled movement due to slip braking)
• Amount of moderate: 11 = 20% (there is a chance of uncontrolled movement due to removal of braking action)
Number of bad: 10 = 19% (highly probable chance of uncontrolled movement due to failure braking action)
Risk analysis:
Also, the Institute of Health has conducted a risk analysis with the following principles:
• Risk of accident: relatively small
• Ernst injuries if such an accident occurs: big / fatal
Support for measures
Initially, there was insufficient support for additional security measures. It is now evident by advancing insight, partly due to a number of near-accident and incidents.

A Rare Standing O
Once in a while, something will happen on the field that just simply amazes everyone in the ballpark. One of those moments came this afternoon in the third inning, when White Sox third baseman Josh Fields drilled the first pitch from Jays starter Scott Richmond down the third-base line.
It was an incredibly well-struck grounder that was destined for the left-field corner. The only problem for Fields was that Scott Rolen — one of the top third baseman this game has seen — was positioned perfectly. Well, positioned perfectly enough to deliver a play that stunned just about everyone inside Rogers Centre.
Rolen dove to his right and snared the grounder with an unbelievable lunging grab. With little time to spare, the Jays third baseman shifted swiftly to his knees and fired the ball across the diamond to first baseman Kevin Millar. The throw beat Fields in plenty of time, while Rolen watched from the ground.
"Unreal. He's unreal over there," Richmond said. "He's made a few great plays like that when I've been starting. Fields — I played with him at Oklahoma State — he tattooed that fastball in and, Scotty, I just quickly did a quick look and all I saw was him sprawled out down the line. He's got that arm to go with it."
Even Fields acknowledged the incredible effort, not that Richmond noticed that.
"I was too busy looking at Scotty like, 'Wow,'" Richmond marvelled. "It was just a great play."
The fans inside the stadium, after being hushed in awe foe a few seconds, began cheering loudly and the crowd moved to its feet. Rolen, the old-school player that he is, stood stone-faced and moved back into position for the next batter. He wasn't about to let the reaction inside the Dome break his concentration.
"A standing O from the crowd — that doesn't happen too often for just a single play in the game," Richmond said. "He's unbelievable and it's a pleasure having him out there. … His defense, as you guys know, is second to none. As a young staff, if somebody hits the ball to the hot corner, we know he's over there and he's doing his best to help us out, too."
Jays manager Cito Gaston routinely refers to Rolen as the best third baseman he's ever seen. Bench coach Brian Butterfield, who oversees the D, says the same. So did former Jays manager John Gibbons. I never saw Brooks Robinson man third, but I can say it is a pleasure to watch Rolen work in the field on a daily basis.
Catch you all in Boston tomorrow.

Hey Jordan, just curious – listening to Jerry on the radio it sure sounded like the SkyDomers [almost?] booed Jesse Carlson when one of the best low-ball homerun hitters to ever play baseball took a decent down and away pitch opposite field for a two-run homer… for the five hundred and whatever-odd time in his career. Jesse has been one of the top-10 best relievers in all of baseball for two seasons now, did the fans really do that to him?
Three outs later, while I was stewing in frustration at the fans idiocy, the place was nearly silent when Rrrrrios came up with a runner in scoring position and two out in the eighth. Rios may not be putting up the kind of numbers that warranted the Lincecum proposal, but he's hitting .375-ish with two outs and runners in scoring position…. it all seemed to add up to a real shame on the fans. Did it seem like that at the park?
Ok [ok], Blue Jays [blue jays], let's [let's], play [play], ballll.
See you all in town! lol! Nothing like a good defensive play to get everyone excited.
Holy Rolin' Scott Rolen!! I was going to post about how glad I am that we have him, but you said it all, Jordan. Every time he makes a play like that, I am just in awe over how quick he is. I mean, this guy is no shrinking violet! And I don't think I have seen a better arm anywhere. I am sure he could hit the first baseman from standing on his head! Eight Gold Gloves? Bring it on!
By the way, guys, who do you think has the best game face on the Jays? I give it a tossup between Rolen and the Doctor, with Rolen having the edge, because he plays every day.
That was a fantastic play by Rolen. This is just great to watch.
This team is so fun to watch. I was hoping that they would put a series proof lead on Boston and they did. Now even if they do get swept and I don't think they will, they'll still be in first place. Gotta love that!

Rockies' Chacin disappointed start moved back
Jhoulys Chacin shook his head when told the news. The Rockies moved his next start from Saturday to Tuesday in Atlanta because of forearm stiffness.
"I am fine. I want to pitch. I played catch the last two days and it's good," Chacin said. "I want to be out there."
The Rockies chose the cautionary route for the obvious reason. If Chacin is lost for any length of time, there's no chance the Rockies will contend for a playoff berth. Chacin has been the team's ace, going 8-5 with a 3.10 ERA.

Fluticasone oral inhalation is used to prevent difficulty breathing, chest tightness, wheezing, and coughing caused by asthma. Fluticasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It works by decreasing swelling and irritation in the airways to allow for easier breathing.
Fluticasone comes as an aerosol to inhale by mouth. Fluticasone is usually inhaled twice a day. Try to use fluticasone at around the same times every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use fluticasone exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Talk to your doctor about how you should use your other oral and inhaled medications for asthma during your treatment with fluticasone inhalation. If you were taking an oral steroid such as dexamethasone (Decadron, Dexone), methylprednisolone (Medrol), or prednisone (Deltasone), your doctor may want to gradually decrease your steroid dose starting at least 1 week after you begin to use fluticasone. Special care will be needed in certain situations for several months as your body adjusts to the change in medication. Ask your doctor for more information.
Fluticasone helps to prevent asthma attacks (sudden episodes of shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing) but will not stop an asthma attack that has already started. Do not use fluticasone during an asthma attack. Your doctor will prescribe a short-acting inhaler to use during asthma attacks.
Your doctor will probably start you on an average dose of fluticasone. Your doctor may decrease your dose when your symptoms are controlled or increase it if your symptoms have not improved after at least 2 weeks.
Fluticasone controls asthma but does not cure it. Your symptoms may improve 24 hours after you begin using fluticasone, but it may take 2 weeks or longer before you feel the full benefit of the medication. Continue to use fluticasone even if you feel well. Do not stop using fluticasone without talking to your doctor.
Tell your doctor if your asthma worsens during your treatment. Call your doctor if you have an asthma attack that does not stop when you use your fast-acting asthma medication, or if you need to use more of your fast-acting medication than usual.
The inhaler that comes with fluticasone aerosol is designed for use only with a canister of fluticasone. Never use it to inhale any other medication, and never use any other inhaler to inhale fluticasone.
Each canister of fluticasone aerosol is designed to provide 60 or 120 inhalations, depending on its size. After the labeled number of inhalations has been used, later inhalations may not contain the correct amount of medication. You should keep track of the number of inhalations you have used. You can divide the number of inhalations in your inhaler by the number of inhalations you use each day to find out how many days your inhaler will last. Throw away the canister after you have used the labeled number of inhalations even if it still contains some liquid and continues to release a spray when it is pressed. Do not float the canister in water to see if it still contains medication.
Before you use your fluticasone aerosol inhaler the first time, read the written instructions that come with it. Look at the diagrams carefully and be sure that you recognize all the parts of the inhaler. Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or respiratory therapist to show you how to use it. Practice using the inhaler while he or she watches.
Do not use your fluticasone inhaler while you are near an open flame or a heat source. The inhaler may explode if it is exposed to very high temperatures.
To use the aerosol inhaler, follow these steps:
Clean your inhaler once a week after an evening dose. To clean your inhaler, follow these steps:
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before using fluticasone oral inhalation,
Talk to your doctor about drinking grapefruit juice while taking this medication.
Skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not use a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Fluticasone may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
Fluticasone may cause children to grow more slowly. There is not enough information to tell whether using fluticasone decreases the final height that children will reach when they stop growing. Your child's doctor will watch your child's growth carefully while your child is using fluticasone.Talk to your child's doctor about the risks of giving this medication to your child.
In rare cases, people who used fluticasone for a long time developed glaucoma or cataracts. Talk to your doctor about the risks of using fluticasone and how often you should have your eyes examined during your treatment.
Fluticasone may increase your risk of developing osteoporosis (a condition in which the bones become thin and weak and break easily). Talk to your doctor about the risks of using this medication.
Fluticasone may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while using this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at Web Site] or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
Store your fluticasone inhaler with the mouthpiece down.Store it out of reach of children, at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Do not store the inhaler near a heat source or an open flame. Protect the inhaler from freezing and direct sunlight. Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication. Do not puncture the aerosol container and do not throw it away in an incinerator or fire.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Inhaling too much fluticasone on a regular basis over a long period of time may cause the following symptoms:
Keep all appointments with your doctor.
Do not let anyone else use your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

Rancho Bernardo High bounced back from its recent loss to rival Torrey Pines in the San Diego Section boys tennis team finals to sweep the Falcons in the individual singles and doubles championships Friday on a windy, overcast afternoon at the Barnes Tennis Center.
Defending champion Tyler Pham defeated top-seeded J.P. Boyd 7-5, 6-0 in singles, which followed a 6-2, 7-5 doubles win by Chris Bernhardt and Aiku Shintani over Connor Eck and Adam Levie.
After serving at match point in the second set, Pham punctuated his second straight individual title with a "Go RB!" cheer as he approached the net to greet his longtime opponent.
"Losing the team championship and then coming back to do this …" said Rancho Bernardo coach Mike Parrinello. "You could tell he wanted to win this for the school, too."
Parrinello said Pham was excited to have the opportunity for both him and his brother, Tom, who reached the finals twice but never won.
"It feels amazing," said Pham, who has committed to play at UC Irvine next year. "It feels twice as good."
Boyd beat Pham 6-2 in the team finals. Pham said he had learned from that.
"I guess I didn't play as smart in the (team) finals," said Pham. "He played really well and overwhelmed me. Today, we had a really tough first set. I barely pulled it through. But once I won the first few games of the second set, I was able to run away with it."
Boyd, who has committed to USD, said he was confident entering his first singles finals. But after a disappointing first-set loss, which included smacking his racket against the back wall, frustration seemed to get the better of him.
"It's very discouraging to lose that first set," said Boyd, who noted that he started the first few games of the second set unfocused, which helped Pham get on a roll offensively. "When that started happening it was kind of a downward spiral."
In the doubles championship, junior Bernhardt and his freshman partner Shintani baffled their opponents, seniors Eck and Levie, in the first set while winds gusted up to 15-20 mph.
"The wind was tough on both teams," said Bernhardt. "We just moved our feet better than they did in the first set."
But with the Broncos up 3-1 in the second, they opened the door for a comeback by the more experienced Falcons.
"It started getting in our heads a little bit," said Bernhardt. "We're up a break against one of the best teams in San Diego County. It made us play tight."
The Torrey Pines pair won the next four games for a 5-3 lead, before Bernhardt and Shintani charged back to take the final four games and clinch the win.
"I thought we had them at 5-3 and serving," said Levie. "They played too tough."

Just rode from Omaha to Northern Minnesota - 550 miles. Outdoor temps 90-100. Heat index 100+
Heat from bike? If I checked by squeezing my legs extra hard I could feel a certain warmth, but I would not call it hot. That's with Motoport mesh kevlar pants on.
I think the stock screen makes a difference. I'm much more aware of warmth from the bike when I have the V-stream wind screen on in winter and it's 35 degrees. But under those conditions warmth is a good thing.
