Fun with first-half stats
You've heard it before. If you dissect the numbers enough, you can pretty much get them to say whatever you want them to say. But, sometimes, they'll say things you might not have expected, too. Such is the case when poring through the first-half splits for the Blue Jays.
Did you know that Brandon Morrow hates the road? Or that Jose Molina has stats to back up being a leadoff man? How about the fact that Edwin Encarnacion performs better when he doesn't work the count? And that whole run support issue with Ricky Romero? Well, hey, he pitches better without it.
So let's have some fun with the first-half stats…
Shaun Marcum, RHP: The right-hander held lefties to a .177 average. Impressive stuff. Right-handed hitters defied conventional thinking, though, and raked at a clip of .304 against the pitcher.
Brett Cecil, LHP: Opposing teams might consider moving their best run producers out of the heart of the lineup when Cecil pitches. He held No. 3 hitters to a .154 average and no homers.
Brandon Morrow, RHP: What's the opposite of road warrior? In nine starts outside of Toronto, Morrow went 0-5 with a 6.80 ERA.
Ricky Romero, LHP: The Jays' offense went quiet on many nights Romero toed the rubber. When the O put up 0-2 runs, though, the left-hander fashioned a 1.17 ERA.
Brian Tallet, LHP: The lefty meant it when he said he preferred to work as a starter. In nine games out of the 'pen, he posted an 8.40 ERA with six homers yielded in 15 innings.
Jesse Litsch, RHP: The sixth inning might as well have been the 666th inning. Litsch had an 18.90 ERA (six runs, 3.1 IP) and gave up nine hits (four homers) in the sixth.
Kevin Gregg, RHP: A little rest did wonders for the big fella. When he pitched with three days of rest, Gregg had a 2.25 ERA with eight strikeouts in eight innings.
Jason Frasor, RHP: Opposing teams' No. 1 hitters combined to go 0-for-13 against the righty. Those pesky No. 2 hitters? Try 8-for-16 against Frasor.
Scott Downs, LHP: The left-hander rarely flinched when batter's worked ahead in a count. In such scenarios, he held hitters to a .232 average.
Shawn Camp, RHP: Are there two outs and runners in scoring position? Camp is the guy to turn to. In that situation, hitters went 1-for-20 (.050 average) against the right-hander.
Casey Janssen, RHP: The righty did not fare so well against the bottom of the order. Nos. 7-9 hitters combined to hit .352/.429/537 off Janssen in the first half.
David Purcey, LHP: In his first tour as a big-league reliever, Purcey has performed well, especially with men on base. Batters managed to hit just .148 (4-for-27) in that scenario.
John Buck, C: Overall, the Jays did not do so hot against lefties in the first half. Buck, on the other hand, had a .471 BAbip (batting average on balls in play) against southpaws.
Jose Molina, C: Who says you need blazing speed atop a lineup? Toronto's backup catcher hit .400 (8-for-20) with a .478 on-base percentage when leading off an inning.
Lyle Overbay, 1B: Manager Cito Gaston might want to keep Overbay down in that seventh hole. The first baseman has hit .315 out of that spot, compared to .195 as the No. 5 man.
Aaron Hill, 2B: It's been a rough season thus far for Mr. Hill. But, hey, he's hitting .341 when swinging at the first pitch. When he gets two strikes on him, though, he's batting .137.
Alex Gonzalez, SS: Now that he's with the Braves, the Jays will miss Gonzalez's clutch hitting. With two outs and runners in scoring position, he hit .361 with Toronto.
Edwin Encarnacion, 3B: Let the pitcher throw a strike, Edwin. You hit .421 when swinging at 0-1 pitches. Encarnacion also hit .194 when ahead, but .245 when behind.
Jose Bautista, OF: He's batting third for the Jays, but 14 of Jose's 24 Bautista Bombs came as a sixth or seventh hitter. When pulling the ball, he hit .507 in the first half.
Vernon Wells, OF: Welcome to Bizarro World. For his career, Wells has hit .299 against left-handed pitching. This season? He's hit just .186 vs. southpaws.
Fred Lewis, OF: With no outs or two outs, Lewis has hit .294 and .290, respectively. Very consistent. With one out, though, he's hit at a .230 clip.
Adam Lind, DH/OF: In 351 plate appearances, Lind worked ahead in the count 78 times. When he got ahead, his OBP was .448. It sunk to .192 when even and .198 when behind.
Travis Snider, OF: Last year, Snider opened the season in a platoon and rarely saw left-handed pitching. In the first half this season, the young slugger hit .350 vs. southpaws.
John McDonald, SS: Who needs a Matt Stairs-type slugger off the bench when you've got Big Johnny Mac? As a sub, he has gone 3-for-8 with two home runs.

I love the stats, thanks for them. Keep up the great work Mr. Bastian
Apparently AGon got a standing ovation when he walked into the Atlanta clubhouse yesterday, and he had a fine game last night. Let's hope YE proves Atlanta wrong!
In defence of Brian Tallett, I would like to point out that his last 9 games have been against Colorado, San Francisco, Philly, Cleveland, New York, Minnesota, and Boston, with the only softy being Cleveland (2.0IP, 0ER). He only really got shelled by San Francisco, New York, and Boston, who make a habit of doing that to pitchers. He has only been called in when the game is in the dumper anyway, and his job is to take one for the team and save the bullpen for next day. He has thrown 15 innings in his last 9 outings, or 1.667 innings/appearance, so I would say he is earning his money.

After such a successful day on the KPWT Santa Cruz Ocean Spirit yesterday, today was far more subdued.
Yesterday stamped its mark in the history books with a huge Wave Masters event! Strong and constant 20 knot winds and 3 meter swells! Jesse Richman pushed himself and challenged the conditions with everything he had yesterday and really put on a great show.
Kirsty Jones showed most of the male riders why they don't want to square up against in a heat! Her strong and powerful style proved she handles even the biggest of conditions with great bottom turns and hard cut-backs!
A skippers meeting was held at 11h00, unfortunately the wind from the North didn't arrive today.
We were stuck between two fronts, the cold usually bringing the wind and the warm not. Today, to the delight of those who wished to work on their tans, got to enjoy the warm front.
Those who had come down to Santa Rita beach were not only able to enjoy the sun, but also some world class kayaking and longboarding.
At 17h30, the Sunset Stage began its usual entertainment, inviting all to sit, relax and enjoy a beer and some local music on the beach.
A final skippers meeting was called at 18h30 and the decision was made to come back tomorrow and hopefully the wind does the same so we can complete the highly anticipated double elimination Wave Masters 2009
Thank you to Bruno Melo and his local organization for putting together such a successful event. This year has proved that Santa Cruz is a TOP spot in Europe for waves and wind!

"You got your nachos in my breakfast." "No, you got your breakfast in my nachos." OMG, it's breakfast nachos!
These are loaded with all of the brunchy requirements: scrambled tofu, roasted potatoes, avocado salsa and a creamy, cheesy, cashew sauce. They're great for sharing with a crowd or for a slightly messy breakfast in bed. It's definitely "company food." You don't want to eat breakfast nachos alone, unless you really really love yourself.
You can make a few huge plates for everyone to share, perhaps as the savory component of a brunch. Because, yes, nachos are a great appetizer before pancakes. Or make little individual servings. Either way, just remember to layer ingredients between the layers of chips. I hate when all of the fun stuff is just dumped on top and you're left with empty chips at the end. An empty chip is just a crime.
There are a few components here, but it's very easy to put together. None of them are crazy difficult. While the potatoes roast, you can pretty much prepare everything else, just remember to set a timer because you don't want to burn the taters. It's always been my opinion that brunch without potatoes is like going whale watching but seeing no whales. It's fine, but next time, gimme some whales.
Anyway, dig in! I swear there are some chips under there. Here's the Instagram pic where you can actually see 'em.

Time of Poss.
TIFFIN, Ohio -- Jasper Collins (Geneva, N.Y./Geneva) matched a Mount Union record with four touchdown receptions and the defense held Heidelberg to a season-low 195 yards of total offense as the Purple Raiders scored a 56-7 Ohio Athletic Conference win on a windy Saturday in Tiffin.
Collins finished with a career-high 159 receiving yards on eight catches and his four touchdowns match the single-game marks of Brian Stafford vs. Wilmington in 1968 and Adam Marino vs. Ohio Northern in 1999.
Mount Union (6-0, 5-0 OAC) also got a sixth straight 100-yard rushing game from Jeremy Murray (Martins Ferry/Martins Ferry) who had 139 yards on 26 carries while the quarterback tandem of Neal Seaman(Louisville/Louisville) (7-for-15, 137yds., 3 TD's) and Matt Piloto (Rotonda West, Fla./Lemon Bay) (7-of-9, 108yds. 2 TD's) combined to toss five TD passes and lead an offense that generated 501 yards.
Heidelberg (4-2, 3-2) came into the game with the OAC's No. 2 total offense and the Purple Raider defense surrendered just 195 yards with four turnovers (3 interceptions and a fumble). Jorge Carbonell (Miami, Fla./Archbishop Carroll) had a team-high eight tackles and forced a fumble.
The Student Prince was led by Germany Woods 63 yards rushing on 24 carries and three catches for 17 yards, quarterback Michael Mees was 6-of-22 passing for 66 yards and ran for a score while Dawson Gore had 15 tackles.
With winds between 25-40 miles per hour, Heidelberg was with the wind in the first quarter and tossed a pair of interceptions but the Purple Raiders did not score and the game was 0-0 after the frame.
Collins and the offense got going with the wind in the second quarter as he caught two touchdown passes -- from 24 and 15 yards from Piloto that sparked a 28-point quarter and put Mount Union in control.
The other two scores were a 35-yard touchdown pass from Seaman to Chris Denton (Plantation, Fla./South Plantation) and a 12-yard run from Murray. Meanwhile the defense held the Student Prince to just 14 yards on 13 plays for the quarter as it was 28-0 at the break.
Collins got his other two touchdowns in the third quarter as he caught 46-yard and 12-yard passes from Seaman to extend the margin to 42-0.
On the final play of the quarter, Mees scrambled on fourth down 19 yards for a score to get Heidelberg on the board.
The Raiders tacked on two more scores in the fourth quarter as Jake Simon (Parma Heights/Holy Name) had a seven-yard run and Wes Ryder (Dayton/Belmont) had a two-yard run.
Mount Union extended its regular season win streak to 58 games and will try to extend its 102-game regular season road win streak next Saturday at 1:30 pm in an OAC matchup at Capital.

"According to a 2005 interview, about a month after filming the last episode of Angel, Hallett suffered a dental infection which spread through the bloodstream to his heart, leading to a case of cardiomyopathy, for which he spent five days in the hospital. Although he recovered, his heart muscle and valves were weakened and he found himself easily fatigued afterward. He did not return to acting (except for a voice part in the animated film Geppetto's Secret), but pursued his music career and frequently appeared at media conventions for Buffy and Angel and for science fiction and fantasy in general.
Five years after first experiencing heart problems, and after at least three additional hospitalizations, Hallett died from congestive heart failure on March 29, 2009 at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles with his father by his bedside"

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) Ed McMahon, a fixture on U.S. late-night television for 30 years as the full-throated announcer and sidekick for Johnny Carson on NBC's "The Tonight Show," died on Tuesday at 86 after battling a series of illnesses in recent months.
The veteran TV personality best known for his nightly introduction of Carson in a deep, booming voice with the drawn-out line, "Heeeeeeeeere's Johnny!" died at a Los Angeles-area hospital, and was immediately hailed by friends and former colleagues as an icon of American popular culture.
"He died early this morning with his wife and loved ones by his side," his spokesman Howard Bragman said. McMahon had been battling pneumonia, among many other illnesses.
Outgoing, affable and possessing a robust, baritone voice, McMahon began his career with stints as a bingo caller, carnival barker and boardwalk pitchman before becoming a broadcast announcer and TV host.
Trained as a U.S. Marine fighter pilot during World War II, he flew missions in Korea in the 1950s.
He went on to become one of the most celebrated sidekicks in TV history as Carson's right-hand man on "The Tonight Show" from 1962 to 1992, when Carson retired as host.
The gregarious McMahon, a frequent comic foil for the Carson during ad-libbed banter at the top of the show, was familiar even off camera for his "Hi-oooooh!" and frequent guffaws at Carson's monologue jokes, especially when a punch line fell flat. Carson died in 2005 at age 79.
"Ed's introduction of Johnny was a classic broadcasting ritual -- reassuring and exciting. Ed was a true broadcaster, and an integral part of Johnny Carson's 'Tonight Show.' We will miss him," talk show host David Letterman said on Tuesday.
McMahon's signature introduction of Carson endured as a catch-phrase. Jack Nicholson's maniacal character in the 1980 movie thriller "The Shining" announced "Heeeeeeere's Johnny!" as he burst through a door to menace his wife with an ax.
McMahon was a leading figure on several other TV shows, too, including the talent show "Star Search" in the 1980s.
He was a long-time co-host of Jerry Lewis' annual telethon benefiting the Muscular Dystrophy Association, and he became well-known as the presenter of the American Family Publishing sweepstakes, as well as a pitchman on numerous TV commercials.
Lewis said McMahon was "a dear, dear friend. We were always making jokes, cracking each other up ... It's hard to imagine doing the (telethon) without him."
California governor and former movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger said America had lost "one of its greatest and most memorable television personalities."
"From 'Star Search' to the 30 years he spent in our living rooms as an integral part of the 'Tonight Show,' Ed brought joy and laughter to millions of Americans," Schwarzenegger said in a statement.
McMahon made headlines a year ago when he defaulted on a $4.8 million mortgage on his six-bedroom Beverly Hills mansion, although he later found a buyer and avoided foreclosure.
The star blamed his financial woes on having broken his neck about 18 months earlier, leaving him unable to work. He also sued Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, accusing it of failing to diagnose the neck fracture and botching two operations.

There's a quick way to describe Disney's latest animation – and that's to call it 'Cars with wings'.
Unfortunately, the 92-minute running time will make it feel like you're in danger of going round and round in crop circles for a day before crash landing.
Disney boss John Lasseter allowed his Pixar work of genius (Toy Story) to become diluted years later when he listened to his children's ideas. He then made Cars and its laboured sequel. Planes is about a likeable, spirited underdog called Dusty Crophopper (Dane Cook), a field sprayer keen to challenge the big boys in the global Wings Across The World competition.
While forklift-mechanic Dottie (Teri Hatcher) worries that he'll die, Dusty's unlikely training mentor is a warplane with a dark secret called Skipper Riley (Stacy Keach).
Compared with an extended, barely edited trailer doing the rounds, this isn't as bad as I feared.
The film's message about how to train to be good at adventure is well meant after an unexpected 'drug-cheat' moment.
But the awkward distance from the planes' mouths (below the propellers) to their eyes (lacking emotion on flat windscreens) is never quite solved, especially when the characters are simply shouting at each other early on.
With the flying sequences always over-emphasised at the expense of a heartfelt story, many youngsters in a packed charity screening I attended were fidgeting and talking.
And those big black 'clouds' floating across the sky? Those would be parents walking across the rows in order to take their little ones out to the loo or for yet more 'refreshments'.
Meanwhile, I'd taken my own 13-year-old and he hated it, which suggests the film's best age range will be relatively narrow – possibly six-eight.

Dionysius the Areopagite
The holy, glorious and right-victorious Hieromartyr Dionysius the Areopagite (also Dionysios or Denys) was baptized by Saint Paul in Athens and is numbered among the Seventy Apostles. His feast day is celebrated on October 3.
Prior to his baptism, Dionysius grew up in a notable family in Athens, attended philosophical school at home and abroad, was married and had several children, and was a member of the highest court in Greece, the Areopagus. After his conversion to the True Faith, St. Paul made him Bishop of Athens. Eventually he left his wife and children for Christ and went with St. Paul in missionary travel. He travelled to Jerusalem specifically to see the Most Holy Theotokos and writes of his encounter in one of his books. He was also present at her Dormition.
Seeing St. Paul martyred in Rome, St. Dionysius desired to be a martyr as well. He went to Gaul, along with his presbyter Rusticus and the deacon Eleutherius, to preach the Gospel to the barbarians. There his suffering was equalled only by his success in converting many pagans to Christianity.
In the year 96, St. Dionysius was seized and tortured for Christ, along with Rusticus and Eleutherius, and all three were beheaded under the reign of the Emperor Domitian. St. Dionysius' head rolled a rather long way until it came to the feet of Catula, a Christian. She honorably buried it along with his body.
Four theological works are attributed to Dionysius: The Divine Names, The Mystical Theology, The Celestial Hierarchy, and The Ecclesiastical Hierarchy, as well as eleven letters. While there were occasional questions raised regarding the true authorship of the Dionysian writings in the Middle Ages, it is Hugo Koch and Josef Stiglmayer's works (1895)[1] that definitively laid to rest the idea of tracing the texts back to the apostolic age. The scholarly consensus now identifies the corpus as the work of a fifth-century Syrian student of the pagan Neoplatonist Proclus.[2] Pseudo-Dionysius has been accused of "employing Neoplatonic language to elucidate Christian theological and mystical ideas."[3] But, while some recent Orthodox scholars have been critical of the influence of the Dionysian corpus, recent defenders include Igumen Alexander Golitzin, who sees it as a fully Christian liturgical theology (Et introibo ad altare dei: The Mystagogy of Dionysius Areopagita [Thessalonika, 1994]), and Vladimir Lossky, who sees the Dionysian interpretation of the unknowability of God as fundamental to any Christian thought and as setting the stage for the work St. Gregory Palamas (The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church). However controversial the texts, their theology was incorporated into the mainstream of Orthodox theology through its adoption by St. Maximus the Confessor and St. John of Damascus.
His Letter to Titus is quoted by St. John of Damascus in his work On the Divine Images, a defense of icons during the iconoclastic controversies.
Troparion (Tone 4)
- Having learned goodness and maintaining continence in all things,
- you were arrayed with a good conscience as befits a priest.
- From the chosen Vessel you drew ineffable mysteries;
- you kept the faith, and finished a course equal to His.
- Bishop martyr Dionysius, entreat Christ God that our souls may be saved.
Kontakion (Tone 8)
- As a disciple of the apostle caught up to the third heaven,
- you spiritually entered the gate of heaven, Dionysius.
- You were enriched with understanding of ineffable mysteries
- and enlightened those who sat in the darkness of ignorance.
- Therefore we cry to you: Rejoice, universal Father!

The Phillies have a new television contract with NBCUniversal - owner of Philadelphia's Comcast SportsNet - a deal that reportedly will pay them $100 million per year for a quarter-century. Although there is some partnership between the team and the CSN in decisions, there is one area in which the Phillies have ceded most of the control to the network: the broadcasting team.
That became apparent Wednesday afternoon when word leaked to the Associated Press that NBCUniversal was removing longtime broadcaster Chris Wheeler and former Phillie Gary 'Sarge' Matthews from the TV booth.
The Phillies and Wheeler put out statements on the move, with the organization stressing that both Wheeler, a 37-year veteran of the team's broadcasts, and Matthews would remain with the organization in some capacity.
'As the longest-tenured member of the Phillies broadcasting team, Chris Wheeler will return to his club roots after stepping down from his role as a Phillies broadcaster,' the Phillies' statement said. 'With 37 years of broadcasting experience, combined with his front-office background where he began his Phillies career, 'Wheels' will take on a new role allowing the organization to continue to benefit from his knowledge, experience and dedication to the game. Additionally, Gary Matthews will continue to work with the Phillies, bringing his exceptional background as a major league ballplayer, broadcaster and commentator to new roles at the Phillies.'
'It has been an honor and a privilege to be a part of the Phillies broadcast team for 37 years,' Wheeler, a 1963 graduate of Marple Newtown High, said. 'I certainly respect the decision that was made and I look forward to my new role in the Phillies organization.'
It could be premature to declare this the end of Wheeler's broadcasting career, since the Phillies remain in control of their radio broadcasts. Although Larry Andersen and Scott Franzke remain the primary team on the radio, they had shared the duties with Flyers TV play-by-play man Jim Jackson for portions of the past several seasons. According to an organizational source, the role Wheeler, 68, will serve moving forward has not been firmly established.
What also remains unclear is who will step in and replace both Wheeler and Matthews alongside play-by-play man Tom McCarthy. Comcast SportsNet has in-house options in former Phillies reliever Ricky Bottalico and Aston native and former big-league catcher Ben Davis, both of whom have provided analysis on the network's pre- and post-game shows.
Whoever is hired will be stepping in for the last remaining member of a quartet of broadcasters who were the voices of the team from the 1970s into the new millennium. Richie Ashburn, Harry Kalas and Andy Musser were the other three, with both Ashburn (1997) and Kalas (2009) remaining in their roles until their respective deaths. Musser was part of the broadcasts until he retired in 2001. He passed away in 2012. Wheeler and Kalas were the only two who had an opportunity to broadcast games in the Phillies' only championship seasons in 1980 and 2008. A pair of YouTube videos of Kalas and Wheeler in the booth, calling the final out of the 2008 World Series on the radio, has more than 200,000 views - the main attraction Wheeler silently punching his fists in elation while Kalas makes the call of Brad Lidge's strikeout.
Wheeler, who started his career with the Phillies in the public-relations department, was the last play-by-play TV announcer in the majors who never had been a professional player. He made up for the lack of pro experience inside the game by learning from the men he covered. He was particularly close with former Phillies president and manager Paul 'Pope' Owens and player and coach John Vukovich and broadened his baseball knowledge from them and countless others.
Whereas Kalas and Ashburn seemed to have widespread affinity from the fan base, Wheeler had split camps when it came to his broadcast style, which included a great deal of strategic dissection.
What cannot be questioned is that an era has come to an end.
• • •NOTES: The Phillies made a couple of other announcements on the same day as the Baseball Hall of Fame vote, revealing that five minor-league players not on the 40-man roster had been invited to big-league camp. The biggest (and least surprising) names were those of third baseman Maikel Franco and southpaw pitcher Jesse Biddle, the team's top hitting and pitching prospects. Perhaps the most surprising name was that of right-handed reliever Ken Giles, who pitched at Class A Clearwater, but has a 100 mph fastball and performed well in the prospect-packed Arizona Fall League. Also joining the Phils in camp are left-handed starter Mario Hollands (7-, 2.86 ERA at Double-A Reading) and catcher Sebastian Valle, who recently was removed from the 40-man roster. … The Phils also announced their minor-league coaching staffs, with Mickey Morandini moving from manager of Clearwater to a coach for Triple-A Lehigh Valley the most significant change. Ramon Henderson, the former Phillies bullpen coach whose alcohol addiction had gotten him fired and landed him in jail four years ago, continued the inspiring comeback that began a year ago by being named manager of the Threshers, replacing Morandini.

Are tablets computers? That is the question that analysts will soon be asking if Apple continues its upward trajectory.
Research firm Canalys said the Cupertino-based company is on track to sell more PCs than Dell and Hewlett Packard -- but there is a catch.
For Apple to wear the crown of PC king, the Steve Jobs outfit will have to admit that its popular iPad is actually a personal computer.
That may not sit well with the late Apple co-founder.
"Pads, and particularly the iPad, have radically changed the dynamics of the PC industry over the
last year, already propelling Apple into second place in the worldwide PC market" Canalys analyst Tim Coulling wrote.
He said Apple already has about 15 percent of the global PC-plus-tablet market and that is good enough to be right behind HP, who has 18 percent of the market.
The report says that it may take the release of the iPad 3 to push Apple over the top, which may not come until the second half of next year.

Red Lentil Curry
This is was my night off so to speak, I don't normally use prepackaged food but when I do, I try and get the least amount of weird stuff listed in the ingredients. Being a vegan it is difficult to find these types of foods so when I do I am stoked! I have experimented with Asian Home Gourmet products a few times the ones that I have tried are spice pastes. This is the first time I used red lentils and the family had seconds! I added a lot more coconut milk then the recipe called for (a full can), added a bay leaf, cinnamon stick (broken), chopped fresh tomato, red wine vinegar, and a sea salt. I also added peas, the little ones favorite:)
This is what I did:
Melted 1 tbsp of earth balance in a pot, add sliced onions, sauteed until very soft, added the spice package(that is all this product is, and oily spice). 2/3 of a cup of rinsed red lentils (until the water runs clear),
added 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup of coconut milk, bay leaf, and the broken cinnamon stick. Brought to a boil, added more coconut milk. Simmered until lentils were cooked (almost to a mush), added the vinegar, seasoned to taste, and added 1 cup of frozen peas & fresh chopped cilantro.
Served it with basmati rice.

Yum! That sounds easy and really delicious:)ReplyDelete
That looks good! I wish I could make Indian food more often now that I have a better appreciation of it. My hubby does NOT like it. :(ReplyDelete
Kirsten, that dish looks totally delish! I agree with pre-packaged phobia--I share this as well.ReplyDelete
And double-agree with you on "taking second helpings"--rarely with a lentil dish will DH have seconds, so when he does, it's a big deal!
3 Studies PROVE How Coconut Oil Kills Belly Fat.ReplyDelete
The meaning of this is that you literally kill fat by eating Coconut Fat (including coconut milk, coconut cream and coconut oil).
These 3 researches from large medical magazines are sure to turn the conventional nutrition world around!

Consumers Energy launches online outage map
Consumers Energy has launched its first-ever online outage map which provides current information about electric outages and an estimate of when service will be restored. The new outage map is at www.ConsumersEnergy.com/outagema
"We're pleased to provide our customers with this new on-line tool which provides up-to-date information on electric outage status in the 61 Michigan counties where Consumers Energy provides electric service," said Garrick Rochow, Consumers Energy's vice president of energy delivery. "Customers, local officials, emergency response personnel and the news media may also find this new outage map to be a helpful information resource."
The map geographically displays information 24/7 to show communities affected by power outages across Consumers Energy's electric service territory. Map users can also zoom to outage and restoration information for a specific area by entering a Michigan address, city, township or ZIP code.
In addition to showing the location of outages, the map provides the number of customers affected, time of outage, estimated time of restoration and status of the outage.
Customer outages are displayed as colored polygons of varying sizes to indicate the approximate area and scale of an outage. Different map backgrounds can be selected, including both a street map and satellite map. Additional outage information is available for viewing at city or county levels. The outage numbers shown in the detail are estimates and may change as Consumers Energy gathers more information.
The map can also be accessed using a smartphone or tablet. This new map complements Consumers Energy's existing mobile website, which allows customers to report electric outages and get restoration information.
"Our in-house business technology services group, in a partnership with our vendor ESRI, helped to refine and bring to life this new outage map," said Mamatha Chamarthi, the utility's vice president and chief information officer. "This is a great example of how advances in technology are benefiting our customers."

People spend millions of dollars on yachts, fuel and fishing gear for the opportunity to catch a bill fish.
A local woman is proving you can do the same thing for a fraction of the cost.
Captain Linda Cavitt was very into kayaking, before she took up paddleboard fishing about a year ago.
"I wanted something that would push me a little bit more and challenge me," said Cavitt. "I was fascinated with it and thought, I want to do that. Honestly, I'd wake up in the morning thinking about it."
Her goal was to catch a Sailfish and it did not take long for that to become reality.
In September Cavitt was fishing near the county pier, when something hit her line.
Her GoPro video camera told the story.
"There's parts you can't see where the Sailfish jumps into the air. It's called tail walking," she said. "When they're completely out of the air and just skimming across the water. It took me and spun me around 5 times; the whole time the fish is jumping out of the water."
It took Cavitt 30 minutes to land the fish, but she said she was prepared to fight it a lot longer.
"I would have been towed to Cuba before I let that fish go."
After the fight, Cavitt practiced good conservation and released the fish.
She said Sailfish typically run this area in the fall, but she is still surprised she actually caught one.
"I'm just in shock, when I realized what I'm actually pulling in."
Cavitt is now preparing for her next adventure, fly fishing from her paddleboard.
To see more of Cavitt's fishing videos and pictures check-out her website www.captlinda.com.

Devastating storms and lives lost, houses destroyed, sweltering heat waves, menacing bushfires, plunging winter temperatures, droughts, floods and even snowstorms in the desert: this is the reality of our weather – it's not a forecast. And it's going to get worse if we prolong our addiction to fossil fuels.
A new Greenpeace International report, Point of No Return, identifies 14 major coal, oil and gas projects that will add an extra 6.34 gigatonnes of global Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions annually by 2020. That's a 20% increase on current levels and more than the annual emissions from the US.
This comes on top of the record high CO2 in 2011, as we jointly pumped out 31.6 gigatonnes of the greenhouse gas responsible for global warming into the atmosphere, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).
Such a massive jump in CO2 emissions would set the world on a path of 5 to 6 degrees Celsius of warming, locking the planet into catastrophic climate change. To avoid the worst impacts of climate change the UN says we must keep the rise in global temperatures as far below the UN target of 2 degrees as possible.
The projects that are threatening our future range from massive coal expansion in Australia, China, the US and Indonesia, to oil expansion in the tar sands of Canada, the Arctic and Brazil to new gas production in the Caspian Sea and the US.
Companies such as Shell, BHP Billion, Arch Coal, Ambre, Peabody, Xstrata, Enbridge, Gazprom, Cairn Energy, Petrobras or BP are profiting from climate change.
There is an alternative, as President Obama championed in his inauguration speech on Monday:
"The path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult … We cannot cede to other nations the technology that will power new jobs and new industries – we must claim its promise. That is how we will maintain our economic vitality and our national treasure – our forests and waterways; our croplands and snowcapped peaks. That is how we will preserve our planet …"
Ecofys, a clean energy consultancy that carried out the research and calculations for the report, shows us that there is a 75 percent chance of avoiding climate chaos if emissions peak by 2015 and then drop by 5% a year.
The new CO2 emissions avoided by canceling these 14 dirty energy projects would cover about one-third of the total reductions needed to avert future catastrophic climate shocks.
Coupled with that Greenpeace's Energy [R]evolution shows that renewable energy and energy savings can deliver the energy our economies need to survive and grow: that renewable energy and energy saving can deliver the "promise" that President Obama spoke of.
In 2011, renewable energy accounted for 30% of new electricity production, up from less than 5% in 2005. This explosive growth can and must continue.
Increased investment in renewable energy will not only pay off in jobs and economic growth, it will also pull the world back from the brink.
The governments approving these projects have all talked with grandiloquence of tackling climate change and of preserving the environment for future generations. Their hypocrisy is placing our future at risk.

I am STILL wondering why Rainbow Warrior went down all the way to New Zealand with Petrobras having cancelled all its plans something like a year ago?
I am also wondering why a spiritually enlightened Greenpeace employee tries to make NZ the home of green movement and sustainablility...and of Rainbow Warrior?
Hey Sweetie, we are at war, you got this?
And although I said to be a friend of these nostalgic moments earlier on I do believe there is more important issues besides sentimental stuff at the moment.
I am waiting for Rainbow Warrior visit to New Zealand...for going there it used about 2 TONS of fuel-oil for aproximately 60 days which this journey took...please just tell me you got a good reason for it!!!

All reactors are bizarre device for mother nature... They destroy our atmosphere mother, our atmosphere protector by electricity. They destroy of three manner... and the nuclear is worst way.
All devices:
a) All they need is make steam. They all are like a steam engine. In that process they destroy atoms.
b) The steam is a decay of the atmosphere... rather soft when by nature, example: the sun on ocean, river or lake (the temperature about 100°C in that case, on little time in a day. The boiler of the nuclear plants, how the HTR - High Temperature Reactor- its have a temperature of work of 600 a 900°C an nuclear plant have several reactors). The boiler work 24 hour! You can reckon how more fast this might destroy our planet? I think than much water must to be spending.
c) And all that work don´t make the electricity. That steam will do the turbine to extract the electrons of your atoms.
a) In the heat to make steam, atoms are destroyed.
b) heat destroys atoms and water.

I am totally unable to understand your attitude of climate change. CO2 has nothing to do with climate change. CO2 in air is the only and the lonely source of food for the whole kingdom of vegetation. every plant absorbs CO2 in air, takes carbon as the basic and essential source for its food next releases oxygen back to air. Consequently, whenever any animal and every human being open his mouth to eat anything, the source of this food is CO2 in air.
Climate change is due to our increase of energy consumption, we have now more cars, more chimneys, and more industries, all these are dumping in air extra heat through their exhaust.
Now you are claiming to be a protector of the environment, however your understanding is totally irrelevant and wrong. CO2 in air is the primary source of our food, climate change is due to the excess of dumping hot exhaust gases in air.

I think everything starts from legislation - why someone is going to invest in more expensive energy source, if cheaper one exist? I see this in my country - just couple days ago company which plan to invest in huge marine wind farms abandon this project, because of government lack of good will! We need strong lobbies, which can push eco -friendly law changes, and encourage renewable energy investments.

DETROIT, Feb. 9 (UPI) -- A Michigan judge has been suspended without pay after allegedly impregnating a woman involved in a custody dispute before his court, officials said.
Wayne County Circuit Judge Wade H. McCree's salary will be held in escrow by a judicial oversight panel until it makes a determination in the case. McCree, who was censured in December after sending shirtless photos of himself to a female bailiff in his courtroom, allegedly had sex with a woman appearing before his court and coached her on how to proceed in seeking back child support from her child's father, The Detroit News said Saturday.
The woman provided text messages allegedly from McCree to WJBK-TV, Detroit, as proof of the affair.
Curt Benson, a professor at Thomas M. Cooley Law School's Grand Rapids campus, told the Detroit Free Press an unpaid suspension has only been done a handful of times and likely means the allegations against McCree are serious and credible.
"I can tell you that this is, I believe, only the fourth time in history that the Supreme Court has suspended a judge without pay pending a [Judicial Tenure Commission] investigation. Normally, judges are suspended with pay," Benson said. "In the other three cases, two judges had already been convicted of felonies and their removals were mere formalities. In the third case, the judge had admitted dereliction of duty before the investigation had even begun. So the evidence against McCree must be quite compelling."
Prosecutors said no criminal charges were warranted.

Yet physicists are still struggling to develop a consistent theory that bridges quantum mechanics and gravity. One approach to "quantum gravity" is string theory: a mathematical description of particles and forces at scales 1031 times smaller than a proton. String theory attempts to link particle physics, the forces of nature, and the earliest moments of the universe into a fresh theoretical framework. Hard evidence remains elusive, but theorists are applying string theory to important problems, such as explaining the exponential growth of the early universe and the paradoxes introduced to physics by the existence of black holes.

Chuck Froelicher and a group of 16 investors formed Copper Mountain Associates in 1968, purchasing the 280 acres at the base of Copper Mountain from Eugene Sanders, who was alleged to agree to the purchase only if Chuck Lewis would be in charge of developing the ski area. In a 1971 U.S. Forest Service study of 2,500 acres, the government said, "If there were a mountain that had terrain for skiing it would be Copper Mountain. It is probably the most outstanding potential ski area in the Arapahoe National Forest, and possibly Colorado. … The mountain has good snow and sparse tree cover created by old burns, which offers a tremendous opportunity to create natural-type runs that blend in with the surrounding countryside." Copper Mountain opened with snowcat operations in the winter of 1971. Construction of Copper's mid-mountain lodge, Solitude Station, began on July 4, 1972, and was completed by Copper's opening day in early December of that year. During the previous century, the junction between the Tenmile and Gore mountain ranges, where copper was discovered and miners and trappers traded with the Ute and Arapahoe, thrived under the inspiration of founder Judge John S. Wheeler.According to old timers, Chuck Lewis was the real brains and vision behind Copper Mountain. "It is unbelievably amazing how closely the present-day Copper Mountain aligns with the original master plan," said Chris Colman, Copper's director of planning, who served as a project manager for Solitude during the summer of 1972.Colman said that, aside from a few modifications such as lift technology changes and an alternate location of the Shuttle Road, today's village area and mountain maps closely resemble the original master plan. "I think Chuck Lewis would be proud of what this place has become," said Colman. Lewis formed the Thick and Thin Lumber Company to mill trees from trail cutting into the lumber that was used to construct the original buildings. The cover of Copper's first trail map proclaimed: "Copper Mountain's for the Powder Buffs," and described amenities that Copper planned to offer in the years to come: a complete village complex with condominiums, lodges, shops and restaurants, a ski school, an 18-hole golf course, convention center and more – and all of these amenities are available today and appeal to an enormous range of guests.In the first year of operation, the daily lift ticket price was $7.50 and season passes went for $140; these accessed five lifts servicing 20 numbered runs (later they would be named through a trail-naming competition), and 120,463 skiers rode the lifts that year. Copper Junction was open for lodging and retail for the 1973 winter season.Snowboarders wouldn't be allowed until 1987, beginning with the Copper Mountain Snowboard Series, currently the nation's longest-running amateur snowboard series. Lewis served as president of the resort until 1982. Super Bee lift – Colorado's first six-passenger, high-speed lift – opened more of the east side of the mountain in 1988-89, and the resort installed Excelerator lift and built Copper Station and Copper Springs Lodge that same year. Copper constructed two more chairlifts, Mountain Chief in 1995 and Black Jack in 1997, adding 600 acres in Copper Bowl and Tucker Mountain. According to the resort, skier visits jumped from 770,973 during the 1994-95 season to 967,074 during the 1995-96 season. In 1997 the resort was purchased by Intrawest. The construction of the Village at Copper in 1999 marked the beginning of the area's current landscape."For me it's really been about the people," said Colman, who has 40 years of service at Copper. "It's [about] working with folks that are passionate about the mountain lifestyle," he said. "The natural beauty of the place even today still kinda knocks my socks off."

Munich Agreement
Munich Agreement, (September 30, 1938), settlement reached by Germany, Great Britain, France, and Italy that permitted German annexation of the Sudetenland, in western Czechoslovakia. After his success in absorbing Austria into Germany proper in March 1938, Adolf Hitler looked covetously at Czechoslovakia, where about three million people in the Sudeten area were of German origin. It became known in May 1938 that Hitler and his generals were drawing up a plan for the occupation of Czechoslovakia. The Czechoslovaks were relying on military assistance from France, with which they had an alliance. The Soviet Union also had a treaty with Czechoslovakia, and it indicated willingness to cooperate with France and Great Britain if they decided to come to Czechoslovakia's defense, but the Soviet Union and its potential services were ignored throughout the crisis.
As Hitler continued to make inflammatory speeches demanding that Germans in Czechoslovakia be reunited with their homeland, war seemed imminent. Neither France nor Britain felt prepared to defend Czechoslovakia, however, and both were anxious to avoid a military confrontation with Germany at almost any cost. In mid-September Neville Chamberlain, the British prime minister, offered to go to Hitler's retreat at Berchtesgaden to discuss the situation personally with the Führer. Hitler agreed to take no military action without further discussion, and Chamberlain agreed to try to persuade his cabinet and the French to accept the results of a plebiscite in the Sudetenland. The French premier, Édouard Daladier, and his foreign minister, Georges-Étienne Bonnet, then went to London, where a joint proposal was prepared stipulating that all areas with a population that was more than 50 percent Sudeten German be turned over to Germany. The Czechoslovaks were not consulted. The Czechoslovak government initially rejected the proposal but was forced to accept it on September 21.
On September 22 Chamberlain again flew to Germany and met Hitler at Godesberg, where he was dismayed to learn that Hitler had stiffened his demands: he now wanted the Sudetenland occupied by the German army and the Czechoslovaks evacuated from the area by September 28. Chamberlain agreed to submit the new proposal to the Czechoslovaks, who rejected it, as did the British cabinet and the French. On the 24th the French ordered a partial mobilization; the Czechoslovaks had ordered a general mobilization one day earlier.
In a last-minute effort to avoid war, Chamberlain then proposed that a four-power conference be convened immediately to settle the dispute. Hitler agreed, and on September 29, Hitler, Chamberlain, Daladier, and Italian dictator Benito Mussolini met in Munich, where Mussolini introduced a written plan that was accepted by all as the Munich Agreement. (Many years later it was discovered that the so-called Italian plan had been prepared in the German Foreign Office.) It was almost identical to the Godesberg proposal: the German army was to complete the occupation of the Sudetenland by October 10, and an international commission would decide the future of other disputed areas. Czechoslovakia was informed by Britain and France that it could either resist Germany alone or submit to the prescribed annexations. The Czechoslovak government chose to submit.
Before leaving Munich, Chamberlain and Hitler signed a paper declaring their mutual desire to resolve differences through consultation to assure peace. Both Daladier and Chamberlain returned home to jubilant welcoming crowds relieved that the threat of war had passed, and Chamberlain told the British public that he had achieved "peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time." His words were immediately challenged by his greatest critic, Winston Churchill, who declared, "You were given the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour and you will have war." Indeed, Chamberlain's policies were discredited the following year, when Hitler annexed the remainder of Czechoslovakia in March and then precipitated World War II by invading Poland in September. The Munich Agreement became a byword for the futility of appeasing expansionist totalitarian states, although it did buy time for the Allies to increase their military preparedness.

After Justin Bieber sported a tee with Kelly Kapowski's likeness on it at Canada's Much Music Awards, Tiffiany-Amber Thiessen showed up to the premiere of Horrible Bosses wearing a tee with Justin Bieber on it last night. And then, two more photos surfaced: one of Dustin Diamond wearing a shirt of Tiffiany-Amber Thiessen wearing a shirt of Justin Bieber, and one of Mario Lopez wearing a shirt of Dustin Diamond wearing a shirt of Tiffany-Amber Thiessen wearing a shirt of Justin Bieber.
It's like an inside joke that went outside when it probably shouldn't have.

Trump-Kim meeting hits a big hurdle: Denuclearization
WASHINGTON, U.S. - Threatening weeks of diplomatic progress, North Korea, on Wednesday, called off high-level talks with South Korea and said the fate of the U.S.-North Korea summit was also in jeopardy.
North Korea's official KCNA news agency confirmed that Pyongyang had called off high-level talks with Seoul and that the planned summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un may be under threat too.
KCNA quoted the First vice minister of foreign affairs Kim Kye Gwan as saying that the fate of the U.S.-North Korea summit, as well as bilateral relations, "would be clear" if Washington spoke of a "Libya-style" denuclearisation for the North.
In what came as the first sign of trouble in what had been warming ties, Pyongyang is now demanding that Washington doesn't insist on pursuing a one-sided denuclearisation deal.
Kim Kye Gwan said, "If the U.S. is trying to drive us into a corner to force our unilateral nuclear abandonment, we will no longer be interested in such dialogue and cannot but reconsider our proceeding to the DPRK-U.S. summit (Democratic People's Republic of Korea - North Korea's official name)."
Further, Gwan is said to have specifically criticized the U.S. national security adviser John Bolton, who has called for North Korea to quickly give up its nuclear arsenal in a deal that mirrors Libya's abandonment of its weapons of mass destruction.
This is not the first time that North Korea has directly clashed with Bolton.
The reclusive nation had criticized Bolton even when he worked under the Bush administration.
At the time, North Korea dubbed Trump's new National Security Adviser as "human scum" and a "bloodsucker."
Gwan said, "We shed light on the quality of Bolton already in the past, and we do not hide our feeling of repugnance towards him."
Now, North Korea is also miffed with the joint military drills by South Korean and U.S. warplanes, which have marked a dramatic reversal in tone from the country from recent months when both sides embraced efforts to negotiate.
On Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that during his recent visit to Pyongyang, he told the country's leader that if North Korea gives up nuclear weapons, the country would enjoy crucial economic aid from America.
Pompeo even stated that the country aspires to have North Korea as a "close partner" and not an enemy and that he had told Kim Jong Un of that hope during his brief visit there.
Pompeo said that Kim Jong Un was informed that the U.S. would agree to lift sanctions on North Korea if it agreed to fully and irreversibly dismantle its nuclear weapons program.
The U.S. said that in return, it would aid the North Korean economy by lifting sanctions and allowing private capital to flow into the country.
At the same meeting, he even stated that he had finalized details of the upcoming June 12 summit between the U.S. and North Korea and had secured the release of three Americans imprisoned in North Korea.
However, on Wednesday, Gwan's statement appeared to reject such an arrangement.
He clarified in the KCNA report that North Korea would never give up its nuclear program in exchange for economic trade with the U.S.
Gwan further added, "We have already stated our intention for denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and made clear on several occasions that precondition for denuclearization is to put an end to anti-DPRK hostile policy and nuclear threats and blackmail of the United States."
Earlier this week, North Korea announced that it will dismantle its nuclear testing site later this month and even invited the world to watch as it blows up its Punggye-ri nuclear test site.
North Korea said that it will hold a "ceremony" between May 23 and May 25 and foreign journalists have been invited to witness the "transparent" event.
Now, if the country cancels the meeting with Trump, it would serve as a major blow to the U.S. president Donald Trump, who has already touted the progress in Korean talks as the biggest diplomatic achievement of his presidency.
