The two Antipodean stars were reportedly spotted flirting at a Soho House party in New York last month (Jan13) and sources claim they reconnected at the Beverly Hills Hotel over Oscars weekend (23-24Feb13).
But Crowe has wasted no time in dismissing gossip suggesting he has moved on from the alleged break-up of his marriage to Danielle Spencer.
In a tweet on Thursday (28Feb13), he rages, "I am not having an affair with nor am I dating Natalie Imbruglia. She has been a friend for years. No flirting, no whispers, total BULLS**T."
Crowe and Spencer have yet to comment on reports suggesting their marriage is over.

I COLLECTED several different weapons and hundred of thousands of rounds of ammo. A lot of my friends call me paranoid. I call it being prepared.
Ive got a decent collection going. 6 Ak47s of various vintages, a couple of moisin nagants and a springfield garand along with a few others.
I COLLECTED several different weapons and hundred of thousands of rounds of ammo. A lot of my friends call me paranoid. I call it being prepared.
Yeah, with the route that this country is heading who wouldn't have a collection? I don't have a big collection but i'm always looking for a deal.
I started collecting, but budget crunches have made me sell off mostly everything. Anyone looking to buy another rare semi-auto? I need money to go elk hunting.
I dig me an old m-1 garand.
Don't really do the surplus around these parts its all veitnam era stuff and way over priced. I find the deals on the newest stuff and buy it up. As for guns and ammo I take what I can get where I can get it. The shelves are dry most of the time now days. Always gotta be prepared.
"If people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered. I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people."
-Thomas Jefferson

Ohmigosh! I did it! I finally crossed the 100-pound mark! YAY! I needed to lose 3.6 pounds to hit that elusive mark this week. That's a lot to lose this far along in my journey. And I wasn't expecting to hit it. I was expecting a loss (I mean, come on, I kicked my own butt this week.), but not the 3.8 pounds I did lose!
I was squealing with excitement — afraid to step off the scale cuz it might not be true, but afraid to stay on the scale for the off-chance that little number would tick back up if I budged. My WW leader also asked me to share my story. And I did. Every embarrassing bit.
And I cried. Because I've worked really hard to get here. Because people told me I'm an inspiration. Because I'm overwhelmed with what the last 13 months have meant to me. Because I'm happy.
I still have about 20 pounds to go, so I'm not at the end of this stage of my healthy journey. And after that, maintenance — which is a whole different kind of battle. But for now, I'm reveling in the glow of hard work, perseverance and motivation.
This girl is very happy — and proud — tonight.
Now off to the gym to tell Trainer 2.0 my news. I don't think he'll go easy on me just because of my super exciting day. Oh well … bring it on.

Almighty God, many of your children are ashamed today at the unrighteousness in our world and in our nations. Please use us to lead a rebirth of character. And Father, as we seek to live holy lives, please keep our eyes not only on your character, but on your compassion, mercy, tenderness, and grace so we may share those same qualities with those who need to know your love and receive your salvation. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Oh, these two, what can I say. Bright flowers, pink dresses, and squeals of joy -- just a few details that made this the sweetest day. When she booked me last May, I had just acquired the same name :) Kirby for the win! Jared and Kirby have an amazing community of friends and family surrounding them, just listening to the 67 minutes of toasts that were shared at their rehearsal dinner, it is apparent that they are loved and adored by so many. I wanted to include as many sound bites as possible, so their friends could tell the story with me. A few others who made this wedding possible :


text: We're only 11 days away from the start of Becca Kufrin's season of The Bachelorette, and ABC just released a bunch of photos and details, teasing what's to come. It's possible we're jumping the gun by saying this, but based on the limited information we have, it looks like Kufrin's Bachelorette season might be the most lit yet. It will certainly be the scariest. (There's going to be a literal Arie Luyendyk Jr. exorcism, but more on that later.) From dudes arriving on bulls to bubble-wrap-popping on the first date to chicken suits—yup, a man shows up on night one wearing a full chicken suit—The Bachelorette has it all this season.

The emergence and growth of scientific psychology in the period 1855–1914 constituted one of the most important advances in the history of human understanding. For centuries issues such as the characteristics of human and animal mind, the relationship between mind and body, the relative roles of cognition, emotion, and volition in the operations of the mind, techniques for the improvement of memory, variations in character, the psycho-logical status of the child in relation to education, and the nature of mental healing had been the subject of philosophical specu-lation and debate.
This site catalogues and describes in detail a selected number of important works in psychology during the period 1855 to 1914. An introductory essay describes the project and its scope while dozens of links take readers to essays on various works in the field of psychology. Subjects include Francis Galton's "Hereditary Genius," Herbert Spencer's "Principles of Psychology," William James' "Principles of Psychology" and George Romanes' "Mental Evolution in Man." Essays included here are useful and informative without being overly technical.

Terrorism - It's a Crime Thang'
"Go fetch yer shotgun paw! Here come them darn moral relativists agin'!"
My working definition of terrorism:
I find this to be reasonably practical and concise statement to objectively remove the good versus evil way of looking at things that simplifies the world neatly and conveniently into the "with US and for goodness" side and the "against US and for evil" side.
[Sharp craak sound of shotgun pump being pulled back to load shells into the chamber for firing]
Paw says: "I'm a givin' ya two seconds from right now to get your darn godless Jew nigger-lovin' ass far enough away from my property and sight before I'm not accountable for my actions to protect what's mine here."
The US side by definition cannot do anything evil because it is ipso facto good. The "against US" side must therefore be evil because if it were good it would be on the "with US" side.
"You deaf or something Kike boy? You ready to go to hell today for your sins against our Lord?"
Isn't this pretty much the level of explanation and analysis offered to the American people by their government to explain the rationale for the war on 'terror'?
[Booom! Booom!]
Not that I was at all opposed to the need for self-defense in a mean and violent world.
Not that I could have offered any comprehensive global plan to disentangle the tangled, re-tangled, and re-re-tangled web of white lies and alibies that comprise the overhead of "maintaining global stability".
Not that US foreign policies are ipso facto evil because they rely on white lies and alibies to keep them safe from too much distracting public criticism.
Not that the framers of the constitution put foreign policy under the purview of the legislative branch - for that very reason.
Paw says: "Y'know what maw? You can kill a kike, but you can't shut him up!"

Now Is The Time For Miracles! – A Word by Diane Lake
Prophets are declaring that as His manifested presence increases, healing and miracles will break out. The candidates for spontaneous miracles will be those that express the desire for it. He wants you to pray for it.
Start Asking
I understood this dream spoke of a time yet to come. As the woman had clearly been ordinary, what had she done to create such an atmosphere? At that time the Lord identified two simple things. First—the woman prayed and asked God to show up. Then—she simply believed that He would!
Friends, the time in my dream has arrived—now is the time for miracles! Prophets are declaring that as His manifested presence increases, healing and miracles will break out. The candidates for spontaneous miracles will be those that express the desire for it. He wants you to pray for it—it won't be like a reward for who has the most people or outward signs of success. Their lips will be moving—like Hannah when she poured out her heart to the Lord (1 Sam. 1:13).
It's like the Lord is saying, "Start asking… talk to Me!"
There'll Be A Passion For Peace
A similar type of atmosphere now exists in our nation. There's a spirit of deception that keeps people deceived, but it feels like people are desperate for truth. As we believe that heaven rules, there's a "truth forecast"—God's building an army of reformers across the earth ready to stand for truth!
Rebellion looses witchcraft (1 Sam. 15:22-23). One obvious example of recent rebellion is Madonna's expressed desire to blow up the White House a day after Trump's inauguration. More subtle examples include the defiance of those asserting that Trump's "not my president." This category includes believers, which the Lord does not take lightly. (See Num. 16.)
I recently had an intriguing dream which gave some insight. The setting was a house the Lord uses to illustrate His church and I was vacuuming to "clean house." The first thing I noticed was something vile on top of a bed, which the residents did not seem to notice.
Then, in an adjoining room I saw two separate pythons. In yet another room I saw a skunk. As the dream ended I heard, "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" (2 Tim. 2:15, KJV).
The Lord revealed the disgusting mess on the bed spoke of eyesight—the people were unable to see it and had not glorified God for what He was doing. I felt I represented the prophets/prophetic—those with the spirit of Elijah rightly dividing the word of truth (1 Kings 19:18).
Pythons are associated with divination and witchcraft. The Greek term used for divination is "python" and means "to twist." (See Acts 16:16-24.) A python is a large muscular snake that twists itself around its prey until killing it by suffocation. It's interesting there's an expression, "twisting the truth" which means to alter to give a false or unnatural picture or account, to distort the facts. And scripture associates skunks with desolation and confusion, certainly conditions produced by divination. (See Isa. 34:11, MSG and NKJV.)
The Lord showed me that there'll be a passion for peace. A principal meaning for peace is "a state of national tranquility" (Strong's NT 1515). As these reformers stand for truth they will be used by the Lord to bring a spirit of peace to the nation! (See Isa. 32:16-17.)

There Is The Sound Of Abundance Of Rain
Also from 1 Kings 18, I've been hearing the drought is over and "there's the sound of abundance of rain" (vs. 41-46). While certain regions have recently experienced heavy literal rains, I believe an important application of this is spiritual.
Many of the Lord's faithful are about to see the fulfillment of so many promises and dreams. For them it's a season of suddenlies and open doors—of great promotion, upgrades and advancement. Like Nehemiah, they've allowed God to position them, and in spite of opposition they'll see increased favor to accomplish their vision.
On a national level, the Lord showed me a picture of Donald Trump using his own money to decorate his presidential office. I felt it illustrated how this man had a vision from God for this nation and he's executing it at great personal cost.
Through re-covenant the Lord wants to establish something between heaven and earth; I see it like a metal connecting rod. For some, it will mean healing from chronic conditions, especially related to debt and health. Some will be given a plan to get out of debt, while others will be the "middle man," helping get people free from debt. (See 2 Kings 4:1-7.) We will also see restoration of formative years—from abuse, trauma and rejection. It's a season of new wine and new oil.
A photographer must capture a special moment—a window that's all about the light and certain conditions. In a spiritual sense, we must "come up higher" to capture this special moment. From this window we'll see it's a time for miracles, not fear.
Fear comes from lack of understanding… Pray for the Lord to reveal Himself to your heart!
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in His holy people, and His incomparably great power for us who believe… (Eph. 1:18-19, NIV)

It was about 4 years ago, driving up to the cottage I saw the most beautiful fields of sunflowers I've ever seen !! For as far as the eye could see, just blankets of bright yellow flowers .... I think I went back to that field 4 or 5 times that year to take pictures and just walk and stare at the beauty. Every year since I've driven by and they haven't had sunflowers. I'm assuming the farmer rotates his crops .. but it had been 4 years .. and then my good friend Patti mentioned to me last night that the she saw these wonderful sunflowers ........ THEY'RE BACK !!!!
We packed you this morning and drove about 30 min east to get to the field .. flowers were a little wilted, probably about a week late from the best time to be there .. but BEAUTIFUL non the less !!!
Such a wonderful morning !!
Lots more photos to follow on my facebook page ;)

BOOK: Watermelon by Marian Keyes
Ireland Reading Challenge
Summer cover. Chick lit. Great summer book.
In what might be one of the toughest set-ups in chick-lit history (the guy has to do something awful to the girl, leaving her to pick up the pieces), James leaves Claire THE MINUTE SHE GIVES BIRTH. Okay, not the minute, but once the baby is cleaned up and presented to the two of them. Seriously. James certainly starts this book in a desperately deep hole that may be impossible to get out of. Claire gathers her baby, some post-partum symptoms, and a few clothes, and heads home to Dublin from her life in London. Loved Claire's family in Dublin - functionally dysfunctional if you like. [There are several other books about the family, since there are at least five sisters. Maybe more. Someone is in the States. Details aren't vitally important in a book like this.] The mom hasn't cooked in twenty years; Dad does all the cleaning; one sister appears to be a drug addict, but a delightfully wonky one; another sister in uni gathers fellas around her like flies. How convenient, because how else is Claire going to meet a new fellow to help her get over the idiot James?
There is romance, there is growth, there is baby love, there is the idiot husband returning? What will Claire do? Has she outgrown James? Will she go back with him so her baby doesn't grow up in a broken home? Marion Keyes is a chick-lit writer who will stay on my reading list. Fun and humorous, and set in Ireland.This is give me some light Irish reading to replace my beloved Maeve Binchy.

Two weeks ago, we saw the debut of the Prada Spring 2013 handbag collection, where Muiccia Prada put on a handbag showcase with lots of eccentrism. You name it, it was featured on her handbags: studs, fur, and flower prints just to name a few.
So after the Fashion Week hype and with a little time to digest all of the upcoming bold, vibrant and sometimes unconventional designs, sometimes it's nice to look back at the classics. A classic is a classic for a reason; it holds a certain charm, charisma and a timeless appeal that will always be striking. For me, nothing beats a Prada classic like the Prada Saffiano Lux Tote Bag.
What's not attractive about this saffiano leather tote? To be honest, I don't see any faults. The rectangular structure and double handle top handle (one of my favorite features of any bag) give the bag that ageless and versatile quality. You have the option to hold it in your hand, on your arm, or your shoulder (with an optional shoulder strap, which is not pictured), and each of these different ways will give this bag a different look. The dark green color is one of those rare colors that can be worn from summer through winter and everything in between. The golden hardware with the dainty, iconic triangulate metal logo only compliments this vivid color. The inside is just as exquisite, featuring inside pockets, the logo lining, a zipper divider, and a magnetic button closure.
This safiano tote should be considered when wanting to build your handbag collection. It is more than an investment, that I will admit, but this Prada classic does not disappoint. Buy yours through Neiman Marcus for $1995.
P.S. Please consider supporting our small, bag-loving team by clicking our links before shopping or checking out at your favorite online retailers like Amazon, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, or any of the listed partners on our shop page. We truly appreciate your support!

Y'all know am a Man Utd fan right..Anyway it's not about me but about Miley.. It's official – Miley Cyrus is no longer blue, she's all red… Miley showed her love for the underdog as she slipped into a Manchester United shirt today. read more to check out photo…
The twerking professional – who is currently bringing her banging Bangerz tour to cities across the UK – has apparently been so taken with Manchester that she now supports United. It is probably the cleanest strip she has ever done.
The Wrecking Ball hitmaker was spotted arriving in Birmingham after her Manchester tour date where she entertained the city with her special brand of raunchy performance.
Miley chose to support United, despite city rival Manchester City scooping the Premier League title six days ago – showing perhaps she has more in common with the losing side than the champions.
Walking from her tour bus as she arrived in the Midlands, Miley sported the latest Manchester United shirt with a massive coat and some black leggings.
And because she's Miley, she teamed the look with a very snazzy looking Chanel broach.
That's not a look you see all that often – but we reckon Juan Mata should get on this asap.

The Kahn Vesuvius orange range rover sport is just one of those cars that you almost feel guilty for liking.
However, let Afzal Kahn obliterate all that guilt from your mind and allow you admire the choice many are sure to make.
The Vesuvius style and concept been copied by many since Afzal Kahn originally developed the range in 2005. However, the revamped 2012 model range rover sport Vesuvius has a range of upgrades including enhancements to the performance, fuel economy and gear ratios. It also receives an upgraded audio and infotainment system with the new generation's seven-inch touch screen that features the dual view technology and rear-seat entertainment with screens mounted in the front headrests.
The Kahn LE exterior upgrade fitted to the Vesuvius edition SUV includes a wide track aerodynamic styling package with vented wide wheel arches and integrated LED daytime running lights, quad stainless steel exhaust system, liquid gold calipers, RS front grille with 3d mesh, grille insert in carbon fibre, exhaust side vents and Kahn branding. Paint detailing includes: matt pearl grey door handles, Vesuvius orange side vents and a grille surround.
The 3.0 liter SDV6 diesel engine produces an improved 256hp at 4,000rpm with maximum torque of 600Nm at 2,000rpm. The engine uses a parallel sequential turbo charging system improving the throttle response with a maximum torque already available from only 2,000rpm. The 3.0 liter diesel delivers 500Nm in only 500 milliseconds from idle. This means instantaneous access to 83 percent of maximum torque in the lower rev ranges, which was felt from the moment you hit the throttle.
The engine is linked to the new ZF 8HP70, eight-speed automatic gearbox, offering smooth shifts and improved fuel economy. The gearbox has brains too. In hot conditions it selects a lower gear to run the engine and air conditioning pumps faster to cool down the cabin quickly. In cold conditions it runs the engine faster to reduce warm-up time and emissions. The Kahn Vesuvius has also been equipped with the Drive Select rotary gear shift and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Kahn added his personal luxury touch to the surface of the round gear shift button.
Inside is the bespoke touch and this particular vehicle comes complete with a Kahn LE interior package consisting of bespoke RS front and rear seats in diamond quilted perforated black leather with Vesuvius orange inserts, matching centre arm rest and door tops, carbon fibre interior facia trim, speedo & rev counter in red, diamond gear selector, Churchill time clock with Swarovski diamond bezel, Kahn illuminated sill plates and machined foot pedals.
Inside this tailored cabin, you are being powered along by a super-refined new engine, improved chassis setup and the true Range Rover style. Isolated from the rest of the world, Afzal Kahn delivers a feel-good factor that very few others offer.

Late last month, a Missouri social worker named Janie Faville posted a photo of a medical bill to Facebook. The total amount billed is $5,584; after discounts and insurance coverage, the amount owed is $1,369.57. "This is how much a miscarriage costs with good insurance," she wrote in the caption. "THIS is why we need Planned Parenthood and the ACA." She also posted her bill to the Pantsuit Nation group, where it has since been shared over 10,000 times and has 800 comments, many of which commiserate and depict similar stories.
Nine weeks into her pregnancy, Faville experienced what is known in the medical community as a missed abortion. This condition, when the pregnancy is not viable but the uterine contents are not expelled, is also called a missed or silent miscarriage. As she explains to the Huffington Post, she "had been experiencing very minimal bleeding … and no cramping to speak of."
Women like Faville in their first trimester are usually given the option to miscarry on their own (which has infection risks), or to have a dilation and curettage (D&C), a procedure where the cervix is dilated and tissue is removed from the uterus. Laura Streicher, M.D., an associate professor of clinical obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University, told Self, "It's not unusual for a 'simple D&C' for a miscarriage to have a total price tag of $15,000."
In conversation with a friend, Faville mentioned the cost of her procedure and was met with disbelief, which made her want to share the financial aspect of her experience with others. "Luckily cost didn't prohibit me from being able to choose how best to proceed for my mind, body, and soul," she wrote on Facebook. "Unfortunately not everyone has that luxury."

Beautifully Lonely
It's a common question: do you get lonely?
The answer: Yes. Most definitely yes. I'm not sure what it is about me, but that feeling doesn't seem to bother too much. Perhaps it's because I always have my camera and notepad and an image or thought I want to capture. Perhaps something's wrong with me. Probably a little of both.
I got so busy living up in Alaska (and those stories will trickle out for years to come) that I'm already on my way back down to the lower 48. The Alaska Highway is empty, all the people hauled out in August (it's now October). It's cold, but the light is so pretty, so low in the sky it's almost an eternal sunset. I'm really lonely now. I'm feeling the depths of that feeling... that emptiness. And I'm ready to see friends or people I will soon call friends. At least I have the vibrant Yukon fall colors and smooth skipping stones to pass the time.

Expertise Matters
If you find yourself responsible for an estate or a trust, getting it set up properly is the first thing. The next thing is protecting the assets and limiting tax liability, which means you're going to need an estate or trust tax preparation expert.
Estate and trust taxes are complicated. While many certified public accountants don't understand taxes for estates and trusts and don't want to, I do. I stay on top of estate and trust tax laws, rules and regulations so I can ensure full compliance and minimize tax obligations.

The below is a sample of some of Evan's journalism work.
Today's a special day because the pitching prospect that the team has been extolling for three years is finally making his major league debut. This player is going to save the team from mediocrity, maybe even send it to a World Series championship over the next decade. He can strike batters out at will with that powerful arm of his and other teams tremble in fear, wary of his potential.
He dazzles in his first start and for the rest of the year, is a beacon of hope. Fans flock to the park to see him go the distance, notching win after win. Every pitch that comes out of that arm is another step to the World Series and not one person, not even the manager, dares to consider removing him from the game. The team doesn't make the playoffs, but everyone knows that it's only a matter of time. The pitcher is too good to not lead them to the promised land.
Spring training rolls around the following year and as occurs every spring training, expectations run high for the team. The welcoming sun, in hibernation for months, shines on the baseball diamond, with the promise of long summer nights spent at the ballpark chowing down hot dogs and cheering on the young ace on the cusp of realization.
Then the young pitcher starts complaining of arm trouble. He's babied in spring training and people say it's only a precaution. The regular season comes, but he's not himself – still good – but not the lights-out pitcher he was last year. Then he goes on the disabled list with an injury. He comes back and gets injured again as the team misses the playoffs. He's plagued by arm injuries for the next three years and he slowly slips away from baseball, as the hopes of the team slip from playoffs to "wait 'til next year."
Every team can think of at least one heralded prospect ended up like this. The Chicago Cubs had Kerry Wood, the Detroit Tigers had Justin Thompson, the New York Mets had Bill Pulsipher. It doesn't stop there – the New York Yankees had Bob Tewsksbury and Al Leiter, the Seattle Mariners had Ryan Anderson and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays had Tony Saunders. The Texas Rangers currently have a minor-leaguer named John Hudgins who was abused in the College World Series in 2003. Hudgins is still feeling the effects. They had the future of their franchise in their hands and then they let the potential of the pitcher slip away, all because they rode him too hard and wore out his arm.
Glenn Fleisig, a doctor at the American Sports Medicine Institute, based in Alabama, takes it one step further. At ASMI, whose mission is to improve the awareness and treatment of sports-related injuries, Fleisig explains that injuries suffered by pitchers are due to quality of mechanics, amount of pitches thrown, types of pitches, physical conditioning and genetic make-up. He continues, saying that a pitcher cannot just deal with one of the causes of injury and ignore the others. "There are interactions between these issues," he says.
Will Carroll, considered by many to be the injury expert in baseball and a writer on Baseball Prospectus, says that "pitching arm injuries are cumulatives. Ligaments and tendons break down and fray, labrums tear, muscles break down when not allowed to recover. It's like driving a car too hard with bad maintenance." Fleisig agrees, saying that most serious injuries come from the cumulatives, which, when he reviews surgical findings, always look 'worn'. As coaches and instructors become more aware of what causes injuries, especially to young pitchers, more pitchers are finding themselves treated with kid gloves as their pitch counts have become limited.
In 1988 – which was not so long ago – 151 pitchers threw between 121-130 pitches when they started a game. Compare that to 2004, when only 11 pitchers threw from 121-130 pitches. This is a marked change, even more so when one considers that even in 1988, old-time baseball greats were complaining that pitchers weren't throwing as much as they used to. If someone pitches 200 innings nowadays, he's considered to have good endurance. Contrast that to the early 1900s, when pitchers routinely threw twice as many innings as that. Steve Treder's study, featured in "The Hardball Times," found that baseball pitchers today routinely throw 10 percent less pitches than they did in earlier decades.
This is not to say that sometimes a pitcher can go beyond his fatigue threshold. A scout for the Washington Nationals, Mike Alberts, also a hitting and pitching instructor in Worcester, Mass., mentioned that there have been times when he or other coaches have pushed a pitcher past his threshold to get a "big win." Alberts, a former professional catcher as well, continues, remarking that he remembers "a game in college we won 14-0, and I threw a complete 134 -pitch game. I was on cruise control, so I didn't really fatigue my body or arm. There were times when I threw 60-70 pitches in a playoff situation and my arm and body were cooked. Pitch counts depend on the situation, but as a rule they should stay within reason."
The rule within reason has been found to be between 100-110 pitches. Baseball Prospectus, a company which does extensive statistical research on every aspect of baseball based in San Diego, conducted a study in the book titled "Mind Game" in which it looked at a chart of the number of pitches per game a pitcher threw, which focused on the 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2004 seasons. Some interesting trends are that in 1988, 60 pitchers threw more than 141 pitches, while that number is three today. Another set of pitches is dropping slowly, the 131-140 set. The watershed year was 2004 as 131-140 pitches per game decreased from 60 to 11. From 121-130 pitches, a decline from 2000 to 2004 has been noted at 56 percent. Nowadays, pitchers hover around 100 to 120 pitches. The reasoning for this marked decline has to do with simple research.
Prior to 1988, pitch counts were not kept as a statistic, so it took a while after 1988 to realize how important pitch counts were to maintaining the health of a pitcher. In 1989, Orel Hershiser, the defending Cy Young winner for the Los Angeles Dodgers, threw 170 pitches in one game. The next year, he blew his arm out. Also in 1989, 23-year old pitcher Al Leiter threw 174 pitches in a game and had arm injuries for the next three years, limiting him to only nine innings over eight games. This was two years after yet another heralded Yankees pitcher, Bob Tewsksbury, was throwing 97 mph and then blew his arm out. He topped out at 89 mph after the injury. Former director of baseball operations and interim general manager for the Cincinnati Reds', Brad Kullman, says that there have been studies done which "found correlations between heavy workloads in years prior to turning 25 resulting in career-limiting or threatening injuries." Leiter has since retired, bowing out after he participated in the inaugural World Baseball Classic. While he will be remembered as a solid pitcher, he could have been so much more, fans will always say.
A contributor to this data becoming available was Baseball Prospectus' Keith Woolner, who created a statistic called Pitcher Abuse Points. Woolner found that pitchers who throw more than 100 pitches and especially 120 pitches, show a decrease in effectiveness the weeks following that effort. Pitcher Abuse Points, now charted regularly, shows which pitchers throws the most pitches in baseball past the accepted limit, which is 100.
In the last three years, Livan Hernandez of the Montreal Expos/Washington Nationals has placed in the top three for Pitcher Abuse Points. Two Cubs pitchers also have made appearances in these years – Kerry Wood and Carlos Zambrano. Wood has long been a lightning rod for those who cry against abusing pitchers, as he blew out his elbow in 1999, a year after he averaged 112 pitches a game and as many as 137 in a start. His arm injuries, contributed to by being overworked, are well documented. Zambrano, 24, has been ridden hard the last two seasons, and red flags are sprouting everywhere from his workload, as he had arm trouble in the beginning of the 2005 season. Hernandez, who just completed his age 30 season, has avoided injury in the years he has been throwing, but as Carroll explains, Hernandez is the exception, not the rule. "Pitchers that break down young don't often make it to their age 32 or 36 seasons. Pitchers that make it to those ages are special, beyond the specialness that being a major leaguer entails."
Carroll, Fleisig and Kullman all agree that fatigue is the more important barometer to measure, not pitch counts. Kullman says that "pitch counts are the antiquated way of attempting to measure fatigue." Kullman goes on to explain that he means antiquated because with the current technology available, "somebody is going to come up with a much better way that will make pitch counts virtually obsolete." Pitchers consistently suffer micro-tears within their muscles, tendons and ligaments, leading to pitchers feeling sore. This is normal, because when the body detects micro-tears, it repairs the tears, making the repaired site stronger to withstand future tears. This is the basic concept behind exercising and then resting after the exercising to allow the body to repair itself. As Fleisig goes on to explain, "pitching injuries happen over the course of time when a pitcher gets micro-tears, doesn't have sufficient rest for the tears to completely repair and then gets more micro-tears the next time out. If a pitcher pitches past the point of fatigue or pitches with poor mechanics that apply larger loads, then he will have more tears than typical and will have his micro-tears add up to larger tears sooner."
Every pitcher has a different limit at which point he starts experiencing fatigue. This is based on various issues, such as previous workload, build, stamina and off-field issues. The simple thing to do, according to Fleisig, is to remove the pitcher when he becomes tired. Professional baseball teams are moving towards this conclusion, as they pay close attention to visible fatigue signs to craft individualized pitch count limits. The Reds organization is attempting to change conventional thinking around baseball with regard to starting pitching and Kullman was at the forefront of it all. He oversaw a unique system in the Reds' minor league system at the Class-A level and below. Instead of one starter going as long as he can, the Reds pull their pitchers after three to five innings and replace them with another pitcher who then goes a maximum of three to five innings. The former general manager of the Reds, Dan O'Brien, hired prior to the 2004 season, implemented this strategy. The reasoning was that if pitchers were to continually decrease in endurance to save their body from injuries, why not decrease it significantly, to three to six innings, so they can exit while their arm is fresh and bounce back quicker? "If we, as an industry, are going to continually limit starting pitcher workloads with arbitrary pitch and inning counts, why not at least get them out there one day sooner?" asks Kullman.
Critics say that this method is not utilizing the talents of a great starting pitcher correctly. However, as Kullman argues, what is the difference between a starter giving you seven to eight innings every fifth day, or five to six every fourth day? In addition, those great pitchers who can go eight innings consistently without significant harm to their career is a list so small that it can be denied in favor of the more advantageous system the Reds are slowly implementing. Kullman believes that this system should one day reach the major league level, for it will lessen the risk of the pitcher becoming fatigued, which leads to injury. University of North Florida's Joshua Papelbon, a junior and brother to the Boston Red Sox's young pitcher Jonathan Papelbon, says that "your arm and body can only take so much. The longer you continuously throw in a game the more and more you put yourself at risk of getting injured."
Papelbon, 22, did not start pitching until senior year in high school, which he believes has impacted his arm. According to Bill Thurston, Amherst College's head coach since 1966 and the winningest coach in any sport in college history, Papelbon is on the right track with his theory. "Pitchers under the age of 12 or 13 have poor mechanics as the No. 1 cause, while ages 14-18 are probably over-use, or over-load, poor mechanics, poor conditioning and preparation," said Thurston, who is also a consultant with ASMI.
Papelbon takes care to properly warm up prior to each game and is a proponent of long-tossing, where baseball players play catch with each other, gradually increasing the distance until they are throwing hundreds of yards away. "I learned that long tossing and keeping your arm and body in shape helps you stay strong," says Papelbon. He also believes that his pitching style, which is submarine, has helped keep his arm healthy but says his hips and lower back become sore, so he needs to keep these areas healthy as well.
Fleisig notes that there have been some specific "anatomatical realities" found about pitching mechanics that every pitcher should follow to minimize injury. The most important is abduction (the angle of the arm is lifted from the side) of the shoulder joint, which is the most effective when it is at 90 degrees. Thurston includes attempting to throw too hard too early in the season, for the arm cannot handle the sudden increase in what it is being asked to do. In addition, throwing a curveball or a slider incorrectly can impact the arm, as well as lack of game preparation.
There are also realities dealing with physics, says Fleisig, such as the "proper timing between pelvis rotation and upper trunk rotation [which] maximizes the energy passed up the body to the throwing arm. With poor trunk timing, the energy produced to rotate the trunk is not passed up to the arm and the arm must generate a greater portion of the torque." If any of these realities are not met, it then becomes much easier for pitchers to get injured.
Colleges are becoming more attuned to these issues, as Papelbon was taught in college that legs were vital to a pitcher's health and effectiveness. He now spends a lot of time maintaining and building his leg strength. Papelbon also believes that colleges take good care of pitchers, as they have medical trainers, planned exercises, and other precautions to ensure the player remain healthy. Colleges also take care to rest players should they become fatigued.
Common injuries among college pitchers, according to Thurston, are a lack of long-term throwing and conditioning programs, over-use (throwing too many pitches in one game), over-load (lack of recovery time), improper pitching mechanics and over-exertion. The most important element of preparation is the training done in the off-season. "You need at least a month without pitching, then be built up slowly for the season," Thurston says.
Young pitchers need good training, for they often do not know the effective way to pitch. After Bob Tewsksbury recovered from injury, he was able to remain an effective pitcher for the Minnesota Twins, despite the drop in speed. Tewksbury started to pitch more efficiently and pitch with his smarts and not his physical ability. This is the same reason why Greg Maddux, a future Hall of Fame member on the Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs, has been able to remain so effective for so long.
Roland Carlstedt, the chairman of the American Board of Sport Psychology, says that if "clear reductions in performance can be established based on late inning fast-ball speed reductions and a pitching coach's evaluation of "stuff," then it is entirely justified to rely on [relief pitchers]." Carlstedt then goes on to explain that one thing relievers have going for them is the fact they have fresh arms – they are not expected to pitch around seven innings every five days. This is similar to Kullman's thinking about getting pitchers out there one day sooner.
Injuries in baseball refuse to go away, not even with the evolution of the five-man starting rotation nor with pitch count reduction. However, as Kullman points out, medical technology has advanced to the point where injuries are diagnosed quicker and more specifically, allowing the pitcher to successfully rehabilitate his arm. He also believes that too much rest may contribute to injuries. An example Kullman uses is pitching one single pitch every day for 162 games. He believes that such a strategy would cause less harm and fatigue to the pitcher rather than having the pitcher throw 200 pitches every 20 days, a reason why he believes the system implemented by the Reds will be effective.
Carroll offers simple guidelines that baseball organizations should utilize to reduce injuries to pitchers. Organizations should "draft with an eye to work ethic, past injury and usage. Err on the side of caution with pitches and innings and have early and consistent instruction with focus on correct mechanics and pitching theory. The organization should also build stamina using an interval approach, abandon usage patterns and roles that don't work and lastly, promote success."
Alberts takes this a step farther, saying that a good pitcher needs good instruction from a pitching coach who knows mechanics, a year-round throwing program, and a general exercise program, focusing on cardiovascular exercise. "[A pitcher should] meet with someone in physical therapy and learn a complete rotator cuff strength program," Alberts adds. A good sports doctor is also a must, for when a pitcher is injured, he needs to trust the doctor who is in charge of rehabilitation. Reading up on the subject can also be beneficial to pitchers in learning what to do and what not to do.
Young pitchers are more susceptible to injury and have to exercise caution to make sure they do not get injured. It is vitally important for a pitcher and everyone around him – from his parents to his coaches – to make sure that what is being done is keeping his arm as healthy as possible. One single game can change the course of a pitcher's career. Baseball and its students may not be close to an answer, but they work every day to find ones. Glenn Fleisig will continue studying injuries caused by baseball to find out where the line between health and injury exists. Will Carroll will proceed with putting all the pieces together to find out how fatigue can be measured. Mike Alberts hopes to continue scouting for that perfect pitcher who never gets injured. Joshua Papelbon has plans to continue figuring out how he can remain healthy. Brad Kullman will keep implementing new strategies in the minor leagues. As he says, the Reds are working on more studies, and while nothing is implemented yet, "when it is, it is going to rock the industry. Mark it down."

A sorta fairytale
A secret school of Magic. A dying prince, sole Heir to the Throne. A lurking evil. All thrown into what we like to call "postmodern fantasy."
The Book currently totals 41,798 words. Of the three parts outlined, only part one is partially complete.
But this is November, known to many around the world as National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). The goal is to write 50,000 words in one month. And Fae and I are going to take it on. In 50,000 more words we could get well into the second part of The Book and make great steps towards finally completing it.
Due to other time commitments, neither us have ever attempted NaNoWriMo before. But, since we've both been thinking seriously recently about a career in writing, it's time for us to try.
I really shouldn't be further distracting myself from the 3 essays I have for grad school, but in truth I have more passion for this than I can ever even dream of having for my MA program. Plus, with two of us, it's only 25,000 words each and we wrote that easy in the first weeks we started.
Wish us luck!

Creation contains an astonishing abundance and variety of beauty that constantly surprises and delights us. Every individual tree is a work of art, yet trees come in an immense variety of sizes, colors, and shapes. Each day we're barraged not just by beautiful sights of cedars, oaks, and firs, but by sundry smells of wildflowers and ripening fruit, or the sweet sounds of songbirds and rustling wind. The deeper we explore our world, the more beauty we find. How did all this come to be? Understanding creation isn't just about explaining matter or the complex moving parts of living things, but "added beauty." Experience tells us that beauty doesn't come by accident — it offers no obvious survival benefit, and many existing natural laws promote deterioration and decay. So what created and sustains the earth's beauty?
Of course, people might object that beauty is partly subjective, which is why it is not possible to give an exact score for the degree of beauty in an object. However, many aspects of beauty are objective, universally recognized by design experts who readily identify features that contribute to beauty, such as patterns, curves, borders, brightness, contrast, purity, and smoothness. Every architect, for instance, can prove that the United States Capitol Building has objective beauty because it has many beautiful features that are combined to produce a beautiful overall effect. This beauty is real, not an accident, and it points to a designer.

Pediatric Orthopaedics
I am a pediatric surgeon who loves taking care of children with any orthopedic problem. I have a special interest in developmental hip problems.
General Orthopaedics; General Pediatric Orthopaedics & Spinal Deformities; Orthopaedic Surgery; Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery; Pediatric Orthopaedics; Sports Medicine - Pediatrics
I have been in the practice of pediatric orthopedics since I finished my fellowship training at the DuPont Institute in 1981. I continue to find it extremely rewarding to work with children with musculoskeletal needs. The gamut of by practice is really quite broad from trauma to neuromuscular conditions to scoliosis and congenital anomalies, infections and sports medicine, etc. I continue to receive a great deal of satisfaction in helping the children with whom I am privileged to treat and find it especially rewarding to know that a potentially very serious and devastating injury or other condition can be treated and allow the patient to enjoy many decades of normal function after the intervention. As part of my practice I am involved with the medical school orthopedic residency program and have been an assistant clinical professor of orthopedics for going on 34 years now and I also tremendously enjoy tremendously watching the residents grow and in their development of their skills and of treating musculoskeletal conditions. I was trained in our local orthopedic department residency program and was one of the early residents who went on for fellowship training. and I have devoted my career here to treating the Western New York and Northern Pennsylvania pediatric population and I was for many years the only Pediatric Orthopedist in Western New York. We have an expanding program in pediatric orthopedics at Women's and Children's Hospital of Buffalo and we are fortunate with this resource to be able to provide state of the art care for nearly or all pediatric orthopedic conditions.
Hip Arthroscopy; Pediatric Orthopaedics; Sports Medicine
As a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon, my clinical expertise is the treatment of pediatric orthopaedic trauma and general pediatric orthopaedics. My aim is to ensure that all the children under my medical care are able to participate in a physically active lifestyle, because the benefits of a healthy musculoskeletal system translate into overall physical and emotional health. I am also clinically active in hip preservation through arthroscopy and reconstruction/osteotomy. I have a special interest in idiopathic and neuromuscular scoliosis as well. I perform surgery at the Women and Children's Hospital, and I practice at the UBMD Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine clinics, on Harlem Rd. and in Orchard Park. I have active research in a number of areas. In conjunction with residents interested in pediatric orthopaedics, I am studying incidence of benign bone lesions, treatment of open fractures, tarsal coalition, treatment of pediatric femur fractures and rod bending in scoliosis surgery. I am also part of a team developing a pediatric fracture database at the Women and Children's Hospital of Buffalo. We are collecting fracture data that will allow physicians to critically evaluate treatment protocols and ultimately improve the delivery of fracture care for children. Additionally, I am developing a scoliosis surgery pathway as a quality improvement project. The goal of all my research is to examine the care of patients in order to improve outcomes. I train medical students and orthopaedics residents with an emphasis on collaborative thinking and discussion. I also welcome residents interested in pediatric orthopaedics to conduct research with me. Teaching, mentoring and conducting research with up-and-coming surgeons facilitates the development of new ideas and methods to improve medical care, not only to the children of Western New York, but to children throughout the world via our published research.
Adolescent Sports Medicine; General Pediatric Orthopaedics & Spinal Deformities; Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery; Pediatric Orthopaedics; Spine Deformities; Sports Medicine - Pediatrics
I have wanted to be a doctor for as long as I can remember; no other occupation was ever a consideration. I am privileged and thankful to be able to be a doctor and help people on a daily basis. Early in my education I wanted to be an eye doctor, but once I rotated through orthopaedic surgery during medical school, I knew I had found my place in medicine. Although in orthopaedic surgery we do not routinely save someone's life in the sense of preventing death, we do save people's lives on a regular daily basis. As orthopaedic surgeons, we are able to help people continue to live the life that they want to live- whether it is enjoying a sport, working, or just walking; our orthopaedic treatments frequently "save" or restore that life. I am very happy to be part of UBMD via the UBMD Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine group, a great group of doctors, physician extenders, and support staff. We work as a team to help each other provide excellent orthopaedic care for the people of WNY and beyond. We have the privilege and responsibility of teaching medical students and orthopaedic surgery residents, the next generation! One of the things I enjoy most about our profession/specialty is the constant innovation and improvement in the methods and techniques, both surgical and non-surgical, to help "save the lives" of our patients.

The child send in his letter he was "young" so could "learn to think like an alien"
NASA have responded to a nine-year-old child who sent them a letter applying to be a "guardian of the galaxy".
The space agency recently advertised a vacancy for a Planetary Protection Officer whose job would be to prevent "organic-constituent and biological contamination in human and robotic space exploration".
Jack Davis sent NASA a handwritten letter saying why he thought he would be a good hire for the role. "I may be nine, but I think I would be fit for the job," he wrote. "One of the reasons is my sister says I am an alien. Also, I have seen almost all the space and alien movies I can see."
He added that he had seen the show Marvel's Agents of SHIELD and hoped to see Men In Black in the future. "I am great at video games," he continued. "I am young, so I can learn to think like an alien."
He signed off the letter with his name and "guardian of the galaxy, fourth grade".
NASA's Planetary Research Director Jonathan Rall called Davis to thank him for his interest in working for the agency, while Planetary Science Director Jim Green has written the child a letter too, as Digital Spy reports.
"I hear you are a "guardian of the galaxy"," Green began the note. "Our Planetary Protection Office position is really cool and is very important work. It's about protecting Earth from tiny microbes when we bring back samples from the Moon, asteroids and Mars."
"It's also about protecting other planets and moons from our germs as we responsibly explore the Solar System."
He continued: "We are always looking for bright future scientists and engineers to help us, so I hope you will study hard and do well in school. We hope to see you here at NASA one of these days!"

Wrongful Death
The loss of a family member is devastating. What's more, it is even more unsettling knowing that the tragedy could have been prevented but for another person's wrongdoing. Still, taking legal action against the wrongdoer may seem like an additional burden and the last thing you want to take on. Nevertheless, it is important to speak to an experienced attorney to ensure your rights are protected. Arizona law provides that a deceased's surviving spouse, children, parents, or guardian may lawfully pursue a wrongful death claim within two years of the death. Failing to take action within the two year statute of limitations can result in the loss of your right to assert a wrongful death claim meaning not receiving compensation for past, current, and/or future expenses. Contact the Rubezic Law Group at 602-487-7076 for a free consultation today to discuss and preserve your rights under a wrongful death action.

Building our future housing: Introducing the Ontario Affordable Housing Calculator
Our Ontario Affordable Housing Calculator will help policy makers and developers create more affordable units in our cities.
Published on August 14, 2018
Safe and affordable housing is the cornerstone of creating healthy, flourishing cities. Ensuring that everyone has a place to live that is in the right size, location and affordable is an integral part of creating better cities. But building affordable housing has proven to be a challenge in many of our communities, cities and provinces.
That's why we created the Ontario Affordable Housing Calculator, a tool designed to support emerging municipal policies and incentive programs for new affordable housing in Ontario.
Evergreen's Ontario Affordable Housing Calculator, developed in partnership with Economic & Planning Systems Inc. and Grounded Solutions and with support from the Government of Ontario, was designed to support both housing developers and policymakers alike.
The tool visualizes the kinds of incentives needed to build mixed income, mixed-use communities and calculates the feasibility of affordable housing projects, both in rental and ownership buildings.
Similar resources have helped U.S. cities, such as Atlanta, develop nuanced housing policies to better suit local market conditions while also maximizing the effectiveness of the program in terms of producing affordable housing units.
In Atlanta, the mayor was interested in developing a housing policy that would require affordable units in all new market-rate housing projects. Through the use of an affordable calculator, they were able to test various options for the percentage of affordable units required in different prototypes of housing developments most common in the city.
Explore the possibilities through the Ontario Affordable Housing Calculator or through one of our video tutorials of how to use the tool.
To keep informed of our and our partners' work in housing, sign up for Housing Action Lab updates and Evergreen News.

There are numerous employment opportunities available for substance misuse workers within the criminal justice framework in the UK. These specialists support both adults and young people who have significant issues with drugs, alcohol or other substances.
Substance misuse counselors work in a variety of settings, from prisons and residence-based rehabilitation to clinics; they also often serve on youth offending teams.
Hours are typically irregular and may include weekends and after hours work when you are on call. Unlike other criminal justice jobs there are no set qualifications necessary for substance misuse workers.
A good understanding of substance misuse issues gained through volunteer work or personal experience is extremely helpful though.
The substance misuse worker must be skilled in talking and working with people from very diverse backgrounds and life circumstances. They must carefully manage behavior and set reasonable limits, all the while encouraging connection and trust with the client.
Typical Duties of a Substance Misuse Worker
The assessment and trust building process is a critical component of substance misuse counseling. To find out what is going on with the client you should have the interpersonal skills to connect with them and offer an environment of compassion and trust. At the same time, you need the strength to set and enforce appropriate boundaries.
Once you have discovered what the client's issues and situation are you can seek the best services for them and support them on their journey to recovery.
This may include referrals for housing and medical services and supporting them by going to appointments with them. Substance misuse workers will also typically work with families and the individual's wider support system.
Substance misuse workers may work in drop-in centers, specialized clinics, rehabilitation units or in an outreach role. Outreach workers often accompany police on patrols in homeless areas or near pubs.
They can offer needle exchange if needed and provide for immediate needs such as housing or connecting a client with appropriate care. In addition, substance misuse workers typically provide extensive education and guidance as part of their individualized and broader outreach services.
Specialized Roles within the Criminal Justice System
If you are interested in a substance misuse worker job that focuses within the criminal justice system it's helpful to be aware of different specialized opportunities that are available. For instance, police custody referral workers help offenders fully understand the ramifications of testing positive for drugs when they are arrested.
Substance misuse workers are also typically an integral part of prison drug teams and probation venues within a community. In both environments, there is a strong possibility that the specialist will experience uncooperative or even belligerent behavior.
Additionally, substance misuse workers may provide drug and alcohol testing as part of their duties.
If you would like to help people overcome their substance misuse issues and make a new start in their life, consider a specialized role within the criminal justice system. In this environment, you can truly make a difference at both the individual and societal levels.

Great American Ball Park Wedding Cincinnati Ohio GABP Reds Wedding/
Have A Cincinnati Reds Wedding
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of photographing this energetic and creative Cincinnati wedding party. The Great American Ball Park wedding was at the beautiful and historic St. Peter In Chains Cathedral in Cincinnati, Ohio. The bridal party stayed a the Cincinnati Marriott Rivercenter in Covington, Kentucky. We spent a lot of time shooting the bridesmaids and groomsmen with the Roebling Suspension Bridge, Ohio River, Paul Brown Stadium, Great American Ball Park and downtown Cincinnati in the background. The reception was held at the Champions Club at Great American Ball Park. What a spectacular reception venue in Cincinnati. Everything was perfect: DJ, venue, staff, bar, views and more. DJ Jay of Liftoff Entertainment provided a great reception for everyone involved. I highly recommend Liftoff Entertainment.
If you would like to see more image that show was it is like to have a reception at a Major League Baseball stadium, contact me. The dugout photos of the bridal party and bride and groom walking on a baseball field are included in a Great American Ball Park wedding / Great American Ballpark Wedding.
