INDIANAPOLIS — First they were on the radio, then they were also on cable TV. Now, the nationally-synduicated Bob & Tom Show, carried locally in Syracuse and Watertown, and formerly in Utica, is back to being a radio-only show.
According to this morning's edition of Tom Taylor's Taylor on Radio-Info e-newsletter, the TV show was cancelled after two seasons on WGN America, a Chicago-based "superstation" that's carried on cable systems nationwide, including most (if not all) the Time Warner lineups in CNYRadio.com's coverage area.
Plans for the Bob & Tom TV show were announced back in August 2008, with a launch date that November. The cancellation of the TV show had no impact on the radio show, which is syndicated by Clear Channel-owned Premiere Radio Networks.
Executives at Tribune, the parent of WGN America, said it was an "excellent" show, but they've revamped their prime-time and overnight lineups with a heavy focus on sitcom reruns instead of original programming.
The arrangement was similar to one Howard Stern had years ago with the "E!" cable channel. Bob & Tom's morning radio show would be videotaped each day. Then, the TV crew would trim it down to a daily one-hour "best of" show. According to Wikipedia, WGN America originally aired the show at midnight eastern, then later moved it to 2am. The last show on WGN America aired on September 10.
The Bob & Tom Show is carried in Syracuse by Citadel's 105.9 The Big Talker (WXTL) and on Community Broadcasters' 94 Rock WOTT in Watertown. The show was formerly carried in Utica-Rome by 96.9 WOUR, back when that rock station was owned by Clear Channel.

Smaller interactive agencies seem to be trending towards more precise specialization. This means they are honing their internal skills to become subject matter experts in a particular space. A specialization could be database marketing, search engine optimization, creative design or email development. As a result, clients are beginning to work with multiple agencies to achieve their online goals, selecting the agency they feel can best deliver a portion of their program. The effect on the agencies is that their internal staff and skill-sets become very narrow. This may drive the need for outsourcing work when client requirements fall outside that core skill set. In fact, outsourcing is becoming a trend in the online world. There are a number of benefits to outsourcing work, and an equal number of challenges. An agency will have to endure a trial period followed by an analysis to determine whether outsourcing is a viable solution. Here are some of the more common issues you can expect:
Quality of sub-contractors: It is undeniable that when you outsource work you often lose a certain amount of control over the quality of the output. It's difficult to manage resources that may be working off-site, and even more challenging to monitor work process and work product until you receive the final deliverable. At this point it's often too late to make significant revisions, and the timeline and cost implications can be prohibitive. Sub-contractors need to undergo a thorough review and assessment period. You'll likely have to identify a pilot project to really put their skills to the test. Don't even consider hiring a sub-contractor if you haven't reviewed a portfolio of their work.
Increased management time: Working with sub-contracted talent will require additional management time. Initially, generating service level agreements, non-disclosure agreements and other required legal documents required to begin working with a sub-contractor must be considered. Once you begin work, communicating with an off-site resource can often be more time consuming than if they were a part of your internal team. As a Project Manager, you will have to determine effective, efficient methods of managing off-site resources. Engage the larger team in status calls or meetings with the sub-contractor so that everyone feels they're working towards a common goal. Try to integrate the sub-contractor into your standard process as much as possible. This will decrease the need for extraneous conversations that splinter your project management time and detract from the bigger picture.
Finding the right people: Simply put, never stop networking! There is legitimate value in leveraging external resources for skills your agency doesn't posses. Each day, new technologies and strategies are emerging, so continually network to meet the people who are cutting edge. Build up a pool of resources and potential partners so that when the needed arises, you can address it more easily. Being able to react and put solutions forward quickly is mandatory in the online world. Having to source the proper credentials in a short time can be stressful, so keep potential resources in your professional circle and call on them when the time is right.
Moving to an outsourced model can be a key factor in supporting a growing, dynamic business. Just make sure you anticipate the additional management requirements, and that your process can adapt to external resources before you begin.

|Figure 1: mTOR signaling cascade (Wikipedia. Author: Charles Betz)
Insulin sensitivity increased in controls (steady-state glucose infusion rate = 7.0 ± 2.0 mg/kg · min pretraining training vs. 8.7 ± 3.1 mg/kg · min posttraining; P < 0.01) but did not improve in MS subjects (3.3 ± 1.3 pre vs. 3.1 ± 1.0 post). Muscle glucose transporter 4 increased 67% in controls and 36% in the MS subjects. Control subjects increased muscle phospho-AMPK (43%), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α coactivator γ (57%),and ATPsynthase (60%), more than MS subjects (8, 28, and 21%, respectively). In contrast, muscle phospho-mTOR increased most in the MS group (57 vs. 32%).These results certainly raise the question, whether everything you read on the SuppVersity, heard on SHR and the BodyRX Show and found on various health and fitness boards was false and increased mTOR-signaling is actually something to avoid!? To cut things short: NO! What you certainly want to avoid, though, is being sedentary and getting obese.
|Figure 2: Changes in body composition in kg
(data adapted from Layne. 2011)
Control subjects had more type 1 fibers in their vastus lateralis, whereas MS subjects had moreare relevant in this context. What is a much more likely explanation is the combination of a too short study period, the absence of dietary interventions and a relative lack of exercise "intensity", despite almost identical workloads, in the severely obese (BMI 33.7) subjects with metabolic syndrome. With a VO2Max of 23.3 ml/kg * min at baseline, their exercise capacity (emphasis on conditioning) was severely impaired if compared to the sedentary controls (31.0 ml/kg * min). Consequently their "adaptive" training program may have forced them to handle relatively high weights and thus induced comparable muscle growth (cf. figure 2), yet at the same time the concomitant reduction in in body mass and more importantly body fat (after all scientifically recognized as a self-promoting organ rather than a passive energy depot) were too small to see major changes in the obesity-induced metabolic derangement (suggested read: Fat or Fire, What Comes First? Scientists Answer: Obesity Alone Triggers Inflammatory Signaling in Mice); supposedly, also because the obese simply made up for the calories spent in the gym by eating more (this would also explain the greater mTOR response, if they did get at least part of their additional calories from protein sources).
type 2 fibers, at a level similar to that reported in type 2 diabetes (51, 52)
If the exercise regimen had been accompanied by an appropriate dietary intervention program and the period of study had been extended to 8 month instead of 8 weeks, I am certain one would have seen beneficial effects on insulin resistance and partial regression of all the accompanying symptoms of the metabolic syndrome. Why people (and even scientists) still cannot or do not want to understand that single-sided (exercise or dietary instead of exercise and dietary intervention) short-term interventions cannot reverse a metabolic pathology that oftentimes took a lifetime to build up, simply eludes me.

The Leinster League v Belfast & District League match took place in PingZone Table Tennis Club on Saturday 27th February 2016.
- Team 1: John Dennis, Romain Barth, Stephen Keenan
- Team 2: Marta Zareba, Brian Keenan, Eddie Hockey
- Team 3: Igor Krasnyanskyy, Jack O'Meara, Dave Gibbons
Anyone who came to see this match was in for a treat. The table tennis was both brilliant and exciting.
Belfast's Phil Jamison got off to a good start winning the first match against Romain Barthin in the 4th set. John Dennis was up next against Gary Crawford and a tough match it was with John winning it in the 5th set. Stephen Keenan won the next against Rodney Mc Kirgen in straight sets to give Leinster the lead at 2-1. The real clincher came for Leinster in the next match. John was up against Phil and at 2 sets all and John down 1/7 in the 5th set it looked like Belfast were about to even up the score but John was not about to give up and came back to 7/9 and eventually won it 12/10 which gave us a 3-1 lead and definitely the turning point in the match. Romain beat Rodney in the 4th set and Leinster now led 4-1. Stephen had a real close match against Gary losing 4/11 in the 5th set. John again saved the day winning another tight match against Rodney 7/11, 12/10, 16/14, 11/9. The last two matches were shared and both were 5 set matches which just showed how tight the match actually was. Result: 6-3
Again Belfast had the better start with Wayne Crawford beating Brian Keenan in 4 sets. Marta made easy work against Tiago Souto winning it in straight sets making it 1-1. Eddie Hockey was on next against Martin Pickles and his funny rubbers. Eddie won the first two sets both 11/6 but unfortunately the rubbers got the better of him and lost the next three. Wayne came from two sets down against Marta to win in the 5th set. Two more five setters followed with Brian losing 9/11 to Martin and Eddie winning 11/8 against Tiago. Belfast now led 4-2. Martin's rubbers came into play once again with Marta losing in the 4th set giving the match to Belfast. The last two matches were played anyway and were shared. Result 3-6
As in last year's match this Division 3 one was a real nail biter. Again Belfast got the better start with Brian Calvert beating Jack O'Meara 10/12 in the 5th set despite Jack having won the first two sets and leading 10/8 in the 5th. Belfast came out tops again with Ivor Kirk beating Igor in a very close three setter 11/13, 8/11 and 12/14. Dave Gibbons got Leinster's first win beating Kris Donagy in straight sets. Leinster won the next two with Igor beating Brian in a five set match and Jack beating Kris in four sets to give Leinster the lead at 3-2. Leinster didn't have the lead for long as Ivor beat Dave in the next match in the 4th set and Kris beat Igor in another really close five setter to now give the lead of 4-3 to Belfast. The pressure was now all on Dave who had to play Brian next. He lost the first set but came back and won the next three. All down to Jack as the score was now 4-4 and fair play to him he came out and won his match in straight sets. Result 5-4
The player of the day went to Wayne Crawford for his three very close wins and he was presented with the Pat O'Brien individual trophy.
Well done to all the players for giving us such an enjoyable day of table tennis and to Roman for providing Pingzone club to us free of charge.

Polls close and counting begins in Turkey
Polls close inTurkey and counting begins in a historic referendum. Report by Pascale Davies.
In a simple Yes or No answer- The Turk's have made their choice, and the votes are being counted in this historic referendum, which will decide whether President Erdogan will be granted sweeping new powers. In this province in the mainly Kurdish south east of the country, many fear if Erdogan wins, it could lead to greater authoritarianism. The divided country is rife with political differences- Nearby, three people were shot dead at a polling station. Reportedly during a dispute over how they were voting. About 55 million people were eligible to vote across 167,000 polling stations, with the results expected to be announced late on Sunday evening. Opinion polls suggested a narrow lead for "Yes" in the run-up to the vote. Reuters David Dolan is in Istanbul. (SOUNDBITE) (ENGLISH) DAVID DOLAN, REUTERS CORRESPONDENT "In the days running up to the vote, opinion polls were putting the' yes' camp at a slight margin- 51 percent, 52 percent, and the numbers we're seeing now at 54 percent probably chide with that in the sense, we're starting to see more votes come in from eastern turkey, from south east turkey, which are boosting the 'no' camp. So of course, south east turkey is mainly Kurdish, and there would be a lot of supporters of the 'no' camp in that part of the country, so we're still watching, of course not all the votes are tallied, and there's been no final declaration, but with three quarters in, we're looking at 54 percent voting the 'yes' camp." If predictions are true, the Prime Minister's role would be scrapped and more power would go into the hands of the President, placing all state bureaucracy under his control. That includes vastly enhanced powers to appoint cabinet ministers, issue decrees, choose senior judges and dissolve parliament. Those voting 'yes' believe their country would be more stable amid Turkey's security challenges, following an aborted coup- and avoid the fragile coalition governments of the past.

Stunning China Glaze Summer Neons!12:49:00 AM
Hey guys and gals! Today I have 3 beautiful summer shades by China Glaze for you. These were released as part of the Summer Neons collection, which you should still be able to find in beauty stores and online.
First, we have a lovely neon with shimmer called Hang-Ten Toes. Now, we have all seen hot pink neons done over and over again, but the strong shimmer in Hang-Ten Toes really makes it special. In fact, it kind of reminds of the shimmer that I love in China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise. Application on this was fine, but it did take 3 coats. Also, since it is a neon, it dries to a satiny matte finish. This swatch shows it with top coat, because that really brings out the gorgeous shimmah!
Click the macro shot for up close shimmer!
Next up is the first of two jellies, Ride the Waves. This blue jelly is totally unique to me! I do have Revlon Royal, which is a very well known and beautiful dark blue jelly. But Ride the Waves stands apart because of it's super bright blue color. And you know me, I love a good jelly. The finish is so squishy! This was 3 easy coats as well, though I do have a bit of bubbling in the photo.
Last, but not least, here's Under the Boardwalk. The Polishaholic seems to have discovered a second version of this jelly... Mine is the bright magenta version. This was the color that jumped out at me the least in the bottle, but boy, do I love it on the nail! First off, it applies like buttah. Absolutely perfect, it practically paints itself. The jelly finish is to die for. It is so juicy, so squishy... just your perfect jelly. I have fallen hard for Under the Boardwalk. It's amazing. 3 easy coats here!
Seriously juicy!
So, there you have it! These three shades are new for Summer 2012 and should be available at your local beauty supply or easily found online. My personal favorite is Under the Boardwalk, but you simply can't go wrong when picking from these three!
Did you pick up any Summer Neons? Which is your fave?

Authors: this is a great opportunity to spotlight a few lines or even a paragraph or two from a new release or backlisted title. Readers: you get to sample some delicious snippets! We'll do our best to tease, titillate and tantalize you into the weekend.
Today I'm offering snippets from my newest release The Order of the Dragon, an paranormal romance, and Book 1 in the Warbler Peninsula series. Drake has come by Aliandra's home to apologize for being rude to her at the library, but he gets a little sidetracked when he can't stop himself from kissing her. On the floor in the middle of her living room. Drake is the first one to speak.
"Sweet Goddess, I'm so sorry, Dr. Cantora. I…I don't know what came over me…"
Drake started to pull away, but she locked her arms around him to hold him still. "Wait."
"If you want, you can get up now, Doctor. I won't hold you here."
She almost laughed since she held him down. "Aliandra."
"The name is Aliandra, and what if I don't want to get up yet?"
He blinked, the thoughts churning behind his eyes as she reached up with one had to stroke his face. "What if I would rather you feed from me again as you make love with me?" She rubbed her thumb against the corner of his mouth, lifting his lip to show one canine.
"No." He closed his eyes and shook his head hard. "No, I came here to apologize to you. To make up for my past transgressions. Not to feed from you again, to dishonor you again."
"What? How could you dishonor me by feeding from me?"
"Because…you're a dragon. Dragons are to be revered and held sacred. They shouldn't be used as food." His jaw clenched.
Aliandra smirked, trying to break his resistance. "Well, that's true." She chuckled as he raised his brows. "But what if I request it because it brings me pleasure?"
Drake looked at her for a long moment. "It brings you pleasure?
She shivered. "Oh, yes." Aliandra wriggled beneath him, grinding her mound against his rigid cock. "So much pleasure."
He groaned as his shaft flexed and sent delicious swirls of excitement through her. "You are a temptation I should resist."
"I don't know about that. I think you should give in." She wriggled again.
"Oh, Goddesss." Drake sighed and swallowed hard. "Let's just start with dinner and go from there, all right?"
"What kind of dinner are we talking here?" Aliandra widened her smirk. "Blood is your main form of nourishment, correct?"
"Aliandra, please."
At least he'd gotten her name right. "Oh, all right." She wriggled once more, this time to get out from under him, but he held her down with his own smirk. "Are you going to let me up?"
"Yes, but only after one more kiss."
Aliandra blinked at him. "I thought I was a temptation you should resist."
"You are, but I'm a glutton for punishment and I want more of your sweet torture." Drake dropped his head and captured her mouth, sliding his tongue between her lips. Her arousal exploded as her pussy spasmed with desire and she whimpered. She found the tips of his canines and stroked, pulling a desperate groan from him, but he pulled back.
"Okay. Now dinner." He used the table to get up.
Aliandra whined, but allowed him to tug her to her feet. "Are you sure you don't need a snack before we eat?"
He chuckled and gave her a dark look. "Don't push me, Aliandra. I don't think 'snack' would accurately describe what I want to do."

True Blue
I'm finding it harder and harder to dress cute as the temperature keeps dropping. I'm in critical need of winter clothing and warm comfy shoes. I honestly don't know how I survived last year when I owned zero sweaters, jackets, scarves, etc. It's so hard to switch from a warm, sunny tropical climate to a cold and gloomy temperate one!
Sweater - Vintage
Scarf- Via my sister
Skirt- Zara via Crossroads Trading Co.

George Christopher, the Greek-born former mayor of San Francisco who won national recognition for persuading the New York Giants baseball team to move west, died Friday of a stroke. He was 92.
The roughhewn son of a vendor who grew up in the tough South of Market area, Christopher served as San Francisco's mayor from 1956 to 1964.
With characteristic bluntness, San Francisco's last Republican mayor said goodbye to a life of politics in 1966 after Ronald Reagan defeated him for the GOP gubernatorial nomination.
In a prepared statement, Mayor Willie Brown said San Francisco "has suffered a monumental loss. . . . George was a dear friend, and he will be deeply missed."

HBO offers $250,000 'bounty payment'
HBO offered $250,000 to cyber criminals who hacked into its computer system, asking them to extend a deadline for paying a much larger ransom, according to an email reviewed by Reuters. Fred Katayama reports.
HBO offered hackers $250,000 to extend a deadline to pay a much larger ransom of $6 million, according to an email reviewed by Reuters. Cyber criminals broke into HBO's system and stole scripts, contracts, human resources documents, and budget details. Then they blackmailed HBO saying they would release what they have if they don't get the money. That's when HBO sent an email offering a chunk of it. But hackers went to the media with details on the breach and an upcoming episode of the network's popular drama "Game of Thrones." The hack comes at a sensitive time for HBO. Its parent, Time Warner, is waiting for regulatory approval to sell itself to AT&T in an $85.4 billion deal. Reuters editor Jim Finkle is covering the story: (SOUNDBITE) JIM FINKLE, CYBER SECURITY & TECHNOLOGY REUTERS EDITOR-IN-CHARGE (ENGLISH) SAYING: "It's a massive acquisition, so, the question is 'could this have any impact on the deal?' If you look back, Yahoo sold itself or its internet assets to Verizon and Yahoo had a big hack. It was the biggest hack in the history based on the number of records compromised and Verizon was able to save some money and cut the price of the deal." A person familiar with the matter told Reuters that the network sent the email "as a stall tactic" and had never intended to make any payment.

According to a CBS News report, a man had his iPad stolen at a mall in Denver and had his finger ripped off by his assailant in the process. The man was shopping in a Denver mall and picked up a new Apple iPad for a coworker who had just received a promotion. He tied the iPad bag around his hand. Apparently, two men on an escalator followed him from the mall out to the parking garage. They were caught on a surveillance video. Jordan felt a sharp pull at his arm and saw a man trying to grab his bag. The man jerked on the bag violently until the skin from the man's hand came off and the bag was released.
The man went into shock and he was rushed to a hand surgeon; however, the report mentions that his hand is permanently damaged. The man claims that he moved his family to Colorado from New Jersey to escape the crime in New Jersey. The police are investigating the incident.
Being accused of a theft crime in Colorado, especially when battery or physical harm is invovled, is not something to be taken lightly. Under Colorado law, robbery as a theft offense occurs when a person knowingly takes anything of value from the person or presence of another by the use of force, threats or intimidation. Robbery is a felony in Colorado and can impose several life-changing consequences upon an individual who is convicted.
If you or someone you know is charged with robbery or any other theft crime, you need an experienced Colorado defense attorney who will work hard for your rights and for an acquittal.

On January 1st,2019 my brother and I stopped at this location to eat. Neither of us had eaten within 12 hours of getting the food. We both ordered the $6 burger meals.

Long Flights Survival Tips
Everyone, at one point or the other, starts disliking flights, when we were kids it was so much fun, but now it looks like the worst few hours we can spend, and on long flights it is almost a catastrophic, spending hours in that very small space, and without much free movement or quality breathing air can make some people really edgy. There are a few things besides the lake of fresh air and space for your feet in most flights, and this is what makes most of us dislike flying long hours.
However there are a few things that you can do to try and combat these long hour flights, and the boredom that comes with them, as well as take care of yourself while flying, here are a few things we thought can help.
On flight
If you are scheduled to fly for 4 hours or more, you probably be thinking of the things to do to kill time while on flight. Remember the following…
Bring pocket books. This will keep you busy while flying and the best way to kill the time. an MP3 player and a portable game console are also good. These things are helpful in case you do not want to watch or could not see the movie shown on the screen.
Exercise. Sitting on the plane for several hours would prevent your blood to circulate properly. Walk for at least 5 minutes every 2 hours during the flight. Shake your legs, bend your knees, and move.
Target the seat at the aisles. This will prevent you from disturbing your neighbor sleeping if you want to get up and take a walk or go to the lavatory. an aisle seat would also give you more legroom to stretch. Try to avoid a window seat; you would only see clouds and skies for most of the time.
Seats at the exit doors are the most comfortable place to be if you want all the legroom. On most airlines, these seats are reserved for disabled persons and are not available on pre-booking but can be requested when checking-in.
Drink plenty of water. Long flights can dehydrate you. Flight attendants will normally offer you water or juice in between flight meals. Go easy with caffeine and alcohol.
When the plane is descending, blow your nose while pinching it closed with your thumb and index fingers to help remove the ear pressure. Yawning and swallowing could help too.
And finally, do not rush to the door once your plane has landed simply to get out first. Relax and do not join the rushing crowd. There is no reason for doing this since you have wait for your checked-in baggage outside.

It's time for another Stampotique Designers Challenge and Corrie is our hostess this week. She wants to see something from the movies. There are so many I love, I had a hard time choosing my quote and characters.
I finally decided on Gone With The Wind. A classic for the ages. I loved Scarlet's line at the end when she said, "Tomorrow's another day." Or, in my best Southern accent, Tamarrah's anotha day! I used a mop-up page in my small Dylusions journal. Roc's Feline is my Scarlet, even colored red! And Roc's Crooked House is Tara.
I could probably do a gozillion of these with some of my favorite movie quotes, but I'll quit with this one.

Photo by Getty/Kevin WinterSince it was leaked that a famous celebrity was going to come out of the closet by way of a People magazine cover, people have been swapping theories of who it might be. So who was it? Country music star Chely Wright.
Okay, not exactly who I imagined (my top guess was Ryan Seacrest), but it's monumental in the fact that she's the first country music star to open up about their homosexuality.
She's struggled for years, confessing that she tried to pray for change and even contemplated suicide. "I was looking at myself in a mirror as I was about to do it," she told Access Hollywood. "I just looked at myself and something snapped and I started to cry, and I realized I have too much to live for."
The award-winning singer-songwriter couldn't have timed it better since both her memoir, Like Me, and her first album in five years, Lifted off the Ground, are being released later this week. However, she's worried that the news will affect her audience. "I may lose my career in country music, that will break my heart, but it's okay," she said. "I have a lot of different pieces of my heart that matter and that's what I've come to learn."
I've always believed that you can't truly be happy if you're not true to yourself, even if you make millions of dollars, so good for her for putting her own happiness first. I'd like to think that her career won't suffer because of this, that people wouldn't stop listening to her music just because she's gay ... but then again, everyone has their own views.
Are you surprised by Chely's news? Would you stop listening to someone's music if they came out of the closet?

Jason Marquis to Arizona– The Diamondbacks, much to the surprise of everyone, enter the trade deadline right in the middle of the playoff picture. While many wondered if the D-Backs would be able to keep pace through the summer to become a buyer at the deadline, they've done just that. A recent run of 8 wins in 11 tries was enough to convince the teams brass that they were indeed in position to stay in contention all year.
The addition of Marquis does two things. One, it bolsters the back end of the rotation that's been surprisingly solid this year. Two, perhaps more importantly, it will strengthen the bullpen. Either Micah Owings or Josh Collmenter will be moved to the pen, where along with the return of a healthy J.J. Putz, they will look to strengthen what was perceived as their biggest weakness. Marquis wasn't the biggest arm available, but he's one who is the epitome of an under the radar name that in the right position can make a big impact. It's still an up-hill climb for Arizona to make the playoffs, but they've managed to hang around this long, improving the staff all around should keep them around through September.
Derek Lee to Pittsburgh- No team was faced with a more difficult deadline decision than the Pirates. Nobody predicted back in April that this team would enter the deadline contemplating being buyers for the first time in nearly 20 years. Sure, everyone knew there was a lot of young talent, and more on the way, but 2011 wasn't the year targeted to make the jump to contender status. With that in mind, surprisingly hanging on in the NL Central, the Pirates had to decide how much of that bright future they're willing to part with for what would still be a very outside shot at winning something this year.
The Derek Lee for Aaron Baker deal is actually one that might work out as well possible. Baker is a big time power prospect, no question about that. However, still at A ball, Baker wasn't exactly in line to break through to big club in the very near future, especially with Matt Hague and Matt Curry higher up in the system. As Braves fans found out last year, there's not a whole lot Lee can offer a club. However, one thing he can offer is a veteran presence accustomed to pennant races, and on this youthful Pirates team, that alone can't be too overlooked. I still don't see Pittsburgh crashing the post-season party, and certainly don't think that if they do they will make any noise. However, they managed to improve this year's team without doing any damage to the exceptionally bright future this organization has. All told, it's a decent move for the Pirates.
Orlando Cabrera to San Francisco- This is one that just boggles my mind. The Giants aren't exactly loaded with top level outfield talent in their minor league system, and while Neal isn't exactly a top level prospect, he's easily the most likely to be ready to play at the big league level. This is critical for the Giants since newly acquired Carlos Beltran is a rental and will be a free agent next year as will Cody Ross and Pat Burrell. Beyond that, Aaron Rowand is about to turn 34, and next year is the last of his deal.
While the Giants aren't blessed with great production out of the shortstop position, Orlando Cabrera has done his best this year to convince Braves fans that Alex Gonzalez is not the worst offensive shortstop in baseball. Parting with big time pitching prospects to get Beltran made sense, but this deal by the Giants goes beyond head scratching.
Ubaldo Jimenez to Cleveland– This is one of those, "talk to me next year", type of trades when it comes to proper evaluation. The Indians, thanks to ridiculously hot start and struggles by the expected favorites in this division find themselves just 1.5 games out of first place. In a division where nobody has taken it and run with it, the Indians may as well be 1.5 up. There is no question the Tribe should be in the thick of the race for the remainder of the year, and adding pitching help is crucial to that.
Once you get past Justin Masterson and Josh Tomlin, little by way of the Indians starters will scare anyone. Jimenez, even with his struggles this year, easily would be the Indians third best pitcher, and probably, with his upside, their number two. Yes, the Indians indeed gave up the farm to get Jimenez, as they sent their two best pitching prospects to Colorado. However, thanks to Jimenez being under team control through 2014, Jimenez offers them an opportunity to obtain the services of a potential true ace without having to ante up in free agency. With the Cleveland financial restraints what they are, it was an opportunity they couldn't pass up.
Koji Uehara to Texas- There's no secret the Rangers desperately felt their bullpen needed to be stronger if they wanted to make another run to the World Series. In fact, with the resurgent Angels, just to make the playoffs may very well call for an improvement. Well, they certainly got it. They give up a nice young pitcher in Tommy Holland, but they add a reliever who's been as dominant as just about any in baseball this season. Being able to have confidence in the guys leading up to Neftali Feliz will be critical in the coming months and possible playoffs.
The Rangers had a goal to improve their bullpen, and when it comes to accomplishing what teams set out to do at the deadline, few hit the nail directly on the head like Texas did.
Hunter Pence to Philadelphia- Sure, this is the second sexiest trade flashing across your screens behind the Carlos Beltran deal, but this might be due in large part to a great deal of airbrushing. Hunter Pence is a good baseball player, there is no argument there. Yes, I would have loved if the Braves were able to obtain him. Well, I should amend that statement. I would have loved if the Braves were able to obtain Pence without giving away a slew of our most talented prospects. A good baseball player? Yes. A Carlos Beltran type difference maker? No. Hunter Pence will absolutely come and make a good team better, and be a strong presence in any lineup. However, he's not a guy who can carry a team, and he's not the end all be all difference maker some have made him out to be. To be worth forgoing the two best prospects in your system, a player needs to be these things.
As a Braves fan, part of me smiles at this deal. Every regular starter for Philadelphia, save Pence now, is 30 years old or older. This not a young team. Cliff Lee is 32, Roy Halladay is 34. Their bullpen is bolstered at the back end by guys in their 30s as well. In other words, the Phillies need to have young prospects at the ready. This even more true in their case as thanks to a ton of money thrown at long term contracts to their aging veterans. Thoughts that the Phillies will just continue to throw money at whatever problems or holes arise may be misguided.
This of course is just looking at it from what Philadelphia gave up. To be fair, we have to also look at what they received closely too. Pence, for his career, has a BAbip of .30 higher at home in Minute Paid Park than he does on the road. This is not a coincidence, it's the product of playing a super hitter friendly park. The good news for Pence and the Phillies is that he's going to another hitter friendly park in Philadelphia. The bad news, the Phillies will still be playing games on the road. Pence's OPS was .115 higher in his home park in Houston than he was on the road. That's a staggering difference. Away from the little band box in Houston, Pence boasts a very pedestrian .325 OBP and an also mediocre .767 OPS. In other words, you get Pence out of Houston, and he's clearly not the type of impact bat that Carlos Beltran has been, and certainly not the type to command the type of ransom Houston got in return.
When it comes to overpaying at this years deadline, Philadelphia takes the cake. Yes, Pence improves their outfield and makes them better. And who knows, maybe his bat is the difference in winning another World Series this year and being put out early. With the pitching as good as it is in Atlanta and San Francisco, the playoffs promise to be full of low scoring, close contests. So it's possible, Pence makes a big impact for the Phillies in October. But on that same token, it's very possible the Phillies still win the World Series with little or no contribution from Pence. And for that, this was a terrible trade.

All I need now is for this (future, maybe a long time away) scarf to grow. To be fair I have given myself the tools to make it grow fast - two strand of yarns and 7mm needles!
I know the colour is not exactly right (despite Mr MiH and I spending an hour trying to work it out) - but I love it. It is a combination of Cascade 220 Superwash in Straw (870) and Drops Kid Silk in dark brown (15) (both quite good value options). I got them from the Wool Warehouse which is a fab (UK) yarn online shopping site - good value, quick to deliver and the site is easy to naviguate (and no, they don't pay me to say this).

I'll never be able to write,
though everything I write
is a poem to my mother."
~Sharon Doubiago
I have talked about my Mother many times on this blog because so much of my life has been influenced and beautified by her. She is my dearest and best friend, and is always the one I turn to when the world becomes in any way a confusing or fearful place. I am constantly amazed by the things she says when I am low. As I have grown up and begun to think that I am a little bit stronger than I once was, a little bit smarter, and a little bit more independent - I often try to bear my minor and not so minor troubles alone. Inevitably, however, sooner or later I turn to my Mum and always, always, she says something that I feel in my heart I never could have thought of myself. Maybe it is just that I need to hear the words spoken in her understanding voice. I love her. I just wanted to say it because this is the day devoted to her, because I feel it, and because she in every way deserves to hear it.
Happy Mother's Day everyone! Here are some photos of my Mum's white roses and a new drawing I did for her...

Where I live, there have been a few things going on and made worse by social media (shocking, I know).
Many, many complaints have played into stereotypes or accepted beliefs when dealing with certain issues.
The problem is that the issues are attacked from an angle that leaves out all information and some logic; it's being played out by emotion.
Because of bias or anger, people are led to believe what they want to believe and then they share that belief with others.
It's an unfortunate thing because it helps no one and even hurts those that they believe they are helping.
It is sad to say, and maybe it's because I can be arrogant, but it seems with more information comes less knowledge.
With more information, you wonder if there really are any "facts" anymore because we all can find some decent information to back up our opinion as, what we believe to be, a fact.
If you are frustrated, be frustrated at the right entity...do not blame a political institution and when you realize how far off you are stay with that story just because you are stubborn.
Admit you're wrong...and beg those you are misleading for their forgiveness because it is you that is hurting more people even under the guise of helping.
And maybe, just maybe, I am wrong, but I doubt it.

Sheffield Wednesday chairman Milan Mandaric has told The Star the club have spoken to one "serious" investor about a possible takeover but stressed a deal has yet to be reached.
Talks have taken place and remain on-going between the Owls and a Thai consortium understood to be interested in a reported £30m buyout of the Championship club.
Mandaric, who watched Wednesday record a 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest on Saturday thanks to goals side of half-time by Kieran Lee and Chris Maguire, declined to comment on who the club have held discussions with about a proposed takeover.
But he said: "We are talking to very serious people and very good people. If it (takeover) happens, then great. It if doesn't happen, it's okay because we are in good shape.
"We have been talking to people but we have been talking to a lot of people. Nothing is over until it is over. It could be close. It could be miles away. We will see how it goes.
"I can't say much as it would be unfair to our supporters, myself and the potential people. When it is the right time and everything has been done properly, that is when something will be announced.
"Sheffield Wednesday is a great club. There are not many clubs like this one in the Championship. The fans have to trust me. Whatever I do, I'm doing the best for them and the club."
Mandaric, who insists Owls stars Keiren Westwood and Tom Lees are not for sale, says his main aim is to help head coach Stuart Gray bring in "two or three" new faces to bolster their play-off bid. Wednesday are four points adrift of the top six following their triumph at the City Ground
"My priority is to keep the club going in the right direction," he said. "When the time comes, if I find a person or a group of people who can accelerate our vision faster than I can, I have no problem stepping aside.
"My bigger goal is to see what Stuart [Gray] needs to improve the team. We need to bring in two to three players. We want to be there or thereabouts. Our manager is ambitious and so is every player."

""Ernest Scared Stupid" is the sequel to "Ernest Goes to Jail" about the loony yet heroic Ernest P. Worrell at it again.
This time, he accindently frees Trentor the troll from his underground home. Freed, Trentor needs to seek five people and turn the into like-wooden dolls to free baby trolls and take over the Earth!
Can Ernest do what his forefather did years ago (trapping Trentor into the ground)? Watch "Ernest Scared Stupid" to find out!"

"As a child, I was scared of this movie because of the troll, Trantor looked scary. Now, I love it because it has Ernest and it takes place on Halloween, and I personally love Halloween!!! Ernest helps Kenny, Joey, and Elizabeth build a treehouse. However, the troll is buried under the tree and Ernest accidentally wakes him up. Throughout the movie, Ernest tries to defeat Trantor with 'Troll fighting technology' and miss Hackmore. Ernest finally figures out how to kill the troll. Trantor needs five children to awaken his troll children army. Kenny and his friends go to the grocery store and buy the supplies in order to kill Trantor. Ernest and Kenny fight the trolls at the treehouse with all the townspeople there. When all the trolls die, Trantor asks the evil demons of the tree to make him stronger. If you love Halloween and Ernest, you'll love ERNEST SCARED STUPID!!!"

Have you been wondering if KStew's recent actions will effect the promo for Breaking Dawn Part 2?
Summit Entertainment has obviously been keeping an eye on the fandom during this difficult time, and has released a message for the fans regarding The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2.
Speaking exclusively to EW, Summit's Nancy Kirkpatrick said;
"While it is studio policy not to comment on the personal lives of actors, Summit is moving full steam ahead and looking forward to this November's opening of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2. We are confident that the film delivers amazing entertainment for our passionate fans and general audience alike."
Do you think the studio's statement was necessary?
Has it ca;med you down, or do you think her actions have tarnished the Saga a little bit?

Hello and good morning...
Happy Tuesday!!! I'm up over on the My Scraps & More blog today.
I wanted to share with you my latest layout, that is also the latest challenge layout for the Got Talent Contest going on over in the forum area.
I wanted to take the rule of threes, that alot of us scrapbookers and artists tend to work in, and use it towards actual techniques on your pages.
I used the Basic Grey Barista collection... one that I was drooling over since I saw it released in the sneaks. I LOVE the muted colors, which I usually don't tend to gravitate towards, but this line was super cool.
I scrapped a photo of my lil one at the park, she was just too excited playing. I used a set of the Evalicious stamps for my "frappe" drink, and paper pieced it together. A technique I haven't used in awhile so it was kinda fun.
I used a few of the Lifes Sweet Evalicious snips throughout the page:
And used a few of the Basic Grey Barista sticker circles and cut them in half and added them on the layout:
I got messy with some gesso and some mist splats through the page and had fun with it.
Thanks sooo much for stopping by and have a great day!!!

Montana Brew Bar has recently rebranded themselves to Montana Singapore following their massive success with their affordable waffles, injecting life into the otherwise unheard of POMO. If you've found the name REALLY familiar, yes, I've blogged about them before and their waffles before!
The rebranding comes with several changes – the slight rise in the prices of their waffles on the menu (don't worry still quite affordable), TWO other new food concepts under the brand and a much larger space spanning across 2 levels.
Whilst Montana Singapore specializes in their UNIQUE waffle offerings, their other 2 concepts – South Bronx Burgers and Fabulous Dough, served up burgers and instagram-worthy doughnuts respectively. Some of you may have caught the really pretty doughnuts from Fabulous Dough on Instagram – the uniquely flavored ones with the syringe injected into the balls of dough, we unfortunately did not get to try those doughnuts as they were still in the midst of tweaking their recipe on our visit.
This review focuses on the menu from Montana. A separate post will be published for South Bronx burgers.
The Place
All 3 food concepts are under Montana Singapore and share a single space, which is 2 storeys high. South Bronx Burgers located on the ground level with walls brightly littered with graffiti, probably to mimic the streets of the Bronx in NYC, while Montana and Fabulous Dough are located on the second level, with a much bigger space, yet with a cosier ambience.
Montana (2nd Level of POMO) The sleek interior of Montana is definitely a draw for most of the foodies hanging around in the area, and it is definitely a HUGE upgrade from their previous space.
While the doughnuts from Fabulous Dough are available for takeout, its location seems to be less than strategic as people craving for a snack have to walk through all these diners to get their doughnuts. So paiseh, I cannot. We heard that some couldn't even locate them as they are hidden within Montana!
The Menu
Here are the menus for 2 different concepts on the 2nd level
The Food
Montana takes pride in their coffee as you can see from the HUGE coffee counter occupying a part of the space. There are several interesting offerings on their current menu, and they are possibly the only ones in Singapore to serve them right now. With a focus on using what they think is the local's favorite flavor – coconut, Montana has came up with several Coconut Cold Brews. Interesting. We love coconut!
1. Regular Coconut Cold Brew ($6.50)
Coconut cold brew served with a coconut ice sphere, which never seemed to melt away. Haha!
The coconut cold brew is less acidic as the usual ones that we have, it also has a light touch of sweetness and aroma of coconut in the drink. If you're not an espresso kind of person, but have always wanted to try cold brew, this might just be a good modification. Really easy and light to drink!
2. Gula Meleka Coconut Cold Brew ($6.80)
This is similar to the above, but laced with gula meleka. I liked it especially with the subtle finish of the taste of coconut. The boy didn't like it though, cause he just doesn't do black coffee in general.
As we all know, Montana specializes in waffles; and they have added a greater repertoire of both sweet and savory waffles on the menu, with some leaving you smacking your lips in delight just by reading the description.
We tried 2 of their newest and highly recommended creations for the savory department:
1. Bulgogi Beef Waffle ($16)
A Korean inspired dish, this waffle was topped with Sous vide Bulgogi Beef, kimchi slaw, and what's even more special? The waffle itself is made with Gochujang rice, this is finally finished off with a nicely poached egg.
The sous vide bulgogi beef was oh so flavorful and GOOD, especially when eaten together with the kimchi slaw. Sweet, savory, spicy and slightly tangy flavors dancing on your palate in one mouthful.
However, for those who are looking for a crisp waffle, you may not find it in this one as the batter is made with gochujang rice, it tended towards the more cake-ish texture. I actually thought that was great as it managed to soak up the juices from the protein and kimchi altogether, a very wholesome experience.
2. Assam Crab Waffle ($18)
This dish is inspired by the Kedah laksa, and the team behind montana had spent months perfecting the taste of Assam to complement the crab and waffles. I thought their efforts may have came to a naught as we didn't think there was anything to shout about. Perhaps it's because we shared it and did not pour the sauce thoroughly on the waffles, hence making it a really underwhelming dish.
I liked dipping the fries from South Bronx into the sauce though. Haha!
3. Black Velvet Waffle ($14)
We also had one other waffle for dessert, and it was their latest creation – Black Velvet Waffle. As misleading as it sounds, black velvet waffle isn't even anything chocolatey like what we are used to. This would be a hit with most people I suppose as it is a BLACK SESAME WAFFLE – and everyone I know loves black sesame, except me. Ugh. There is also a choice of black sesame ice cream or matcha ice cream. I'd think the matcha ice cream will look more photogenic as it stands out against the black waffles, but oh well.
You also have a choice of how you want your waffle to be done – Crispy or Fluffy! I'd think the fluffy one sounded more appealing to me, crisp on the exterior while fluffy within. However, we tried the crispy version, and it was not too bad as well.
You may find certain mouthfuls a little salty because this waffle is laced with black miso caramel, giving the entire dish a sweet-savory combination. I didn't take too well to the miso though as it was a weird kind of salty. I'd rather have the safer option of a salted caramel drizzle with black sesame.
Closing Remarks
Montana Singapore never fails to surprise us with their innovative dishes since they first opened their doors at POMO last year. Mac and Cheese WITHIN waffles? Who'd have thought of that?
Their fusion take on their waffles were also pretty daring, yet was well worth the risk. While I am kind of immune to being wow-ed away by waffles, or even being enticed by the thought of having waffles, Montana has got my attention with their innovative take on the otherwise over-used dish of a waffle.
Well.. I'd think if you're looking for a place for a gathering, the new Montana concept may be a good place to be, as the menu is extensive enough to cater to the different palates and their dishes are pretty well worth sharing the calories for! Stay tuned for the review on South Bronx Burgers next!

blogging (nearly) naked in japan
So here I am in Chitose, Japan. This is the first time in my life I've ever traveled this far, although I've certainly had my fair share of air travel within CONUS. Even my few trips across the border to Canada and south into Mexico (back when Mexico wasn't nearly as dangerous as it is today, and well before 9/11) don't count.
Oddly enough this is the first time I've used my passport, the second update to a passport I originally obtained back in the mid-1990s for travel to Japan. I worked for Mitsubishi Wireless up in Lake Mary, Florida, and I was meant to travel to Japan on a business trip. But the trip never came about, and I left the company. Now, almost 20 years later, I'm using the passport for (almost) its intended reason, but for a far different company and set of circumstances.
|Waiting in Houston to board a flight to Tokyo
My trip from Orlando to Chitose started around 6:30am Thursday morning, and didn't end until 10pm Friday Chitose time. The flight itself took a solid 24 hours across three individual flights, the longest being about 15 hours from Houston to Tokyo-Narita. That flight, fortunately, was on a Boeing 777-200. Even though I was in the back (no business class for this guy!), the seat was still roomy, and miracle of miracles, it wasn't a full flight; the seat next to me was empty. So I could stretch out a bit more than I would have if the seat was filled. The other two connecting flights were completely full 737 commuter flights.
I'd like to stop for a moment and observe how polite the Japanese are, almost to a fault. Not a single Japanese individual I've had direct interactions with so far have been impolite. One of the most intense interactions came at Narita where I transferred to Chitose.
Based on instructions with the tickets, I was under the impression my one checked piece of luggage would automatically be transferred from the Houston-to-Tokyo flight to the Tokyo-to-Chitose flight. Unfortunately for me it did not; I was required by the Japanese to pick up my one piece of checked baggage from the carousel and walk it through customs just like I had done with my carry on luggage. With a 3 1/2 hour layover in Narita I had more than enough time to do that. Instead, I went through customs with just my computer and overhead bag, and headed over to the gate to board the flight to Chitose.
About two hours later, a very polite Japanese voice called my name over the intercom to come up to the gate. It is interesting to hear the Japanese call your name. To give them credit, they did a better job at it than I usually have gotten right here in the US with native English speakers. At least they got the syllable break. That's when they informed me about my luggage, still sitting on the other side of the security barrier back at United Air.
And so, with a little more than an hour before the Chitose flight left, I had to leave the gate, go back through the security area, back through customs, pick up my piece of luggage, back through customs for a third time, then have it checked on the Chitose flight, then back through security again, and finally back down to the gate. All that time, apologizing to everyone I met for being an idiot. At no time did anyone become an obstacle to me. The Japanese officials I came across all seemed to understand what I needed and were most helpful. It took very little time to correct my mistake, and I was able to get to Chitose with all my luggage, which is a nice thing to happen.
|"Please refrain from using your mobile phone"
After getting to my hotel, I went out for a Real Meal (I'd had two airline meals on the Houston to Tokyo run, and that was it). I wound up at a little place across from the hotel called Royal Host, a Japanese family restaurant chain, where I ordered a Japanese turkey and BLT, which tasted remarkably like an American turkey and BLT. Hey, it was late, and I was really tired.
They also ask you not to use your mobile phone, at least not for voice. There were lots of Japanese using there smart phones for every thing else. I noticed the "Please refrain..." notice on all the tables, and I noticed they were all printed in English, not Japanese. Which makes you wonder...
I also noticed I was in Japan, even at a restaurant that looked very American, by how the table was set out for me. For example, I've never had a napkin and silverware placed before me in a box. The drink portions, in this case a diet Coke, came in very small glasses. We Americans are far to fat because our portions are far to large. I've had several more meals since Royal Host and I've noted the small portions, including glasses of water.
What drives home that I've come to a different land was the packet of "French" mustard written in "Engrish." I point this out not to cause any embarrassment, but to show how vital clear communications are. In a perfect world, English would translate to Japanese and back to English again with no loss in understanding. It also shows how a Japanese illiterate, such as myself, is so dependent on any scraps of English. Back in the mid-1990s, when I was originally headed over here, I took a pair of Japanese language courses to become somewhat literate. But I never used it and I've just about lost everything, especially the ability to read some Japanese. Sounds like it's time for a few refresher courses when I get back home. I supposed to return to Tokyo next February.
Today, Saturday, has been my travel recovery day. I tried not to sleep at all today, but failed, and took a two hour nap mid-afternoon local time. Now I'm awake again. If you're wondering I started writing this early this morning local time.
Sunday starts a long thirteen day, 12 hour/day, work marathon. It should be interesting.
