Understanding The Status Quo
One of the biggest curiosities going into last off-season was what to do with the middle infield logjam. All-Star 2nd baseman Ian Kinsler had just completed the first year of his 5-year, $75 million contract extension. All-Star shortstop Elvis Andrus had just agreed to an 8-year, $120 million extension. And Jurickson Profar, the #1 prospect in all of baseball prior to the 2012 season, had little left to prove in the minors.
The Rangers needed some more pop in the lineup. 1st baseman Mitch Moreland hit a meager .232 with 60 RBIs from a spot on the diamond which profiles as a power position. Lance Berkman was a colossal bust at DH, collecting $10 million only to play in 37 games, hitting 6 home runs and driving in 34 runs. The offensive output desperately needed to be improved upon.
In a totally unexpected move, the Rangers and Tigers agreed on a rare star-for-star swap. The Rangers sent Kinsler, who had shown a reluctance to move positions, and at age 31, had begun showing signs of offensive decline, to the Tigers in exchange for slugging 1st baseman, Prince Fielder and $30 million in cash. The left-handed slugger had fallen out of favor in Detroit after showing what Tigers fans felt was a lack of emotion and a sense of indifference in an unsuccessful postseason showing.
However, Fielder had a reputation for being an iron man. He had only missed a handful of games in his entire career and is nearly two years younger than Kinsler. Fielder had averaged 34 home runs and 105 RBI for his career. The Rangers also needed an additional threat to protect Adrian Beltre in the lineup. Despite posting a career low in homers in 2013 in Detroit, the Rangers thought that a change of scenery would serve Fielder well. Rangers Ballpark is tailor-made for Fielder, a left-handed, power-hitting slugger.
Detractors of the deal would argue that the Rangers were picking up a long-term risk, as Fielder had 7 years remaining on his deal, with an average annual value of $24 million. However, the only years the Rangers would pay the full annual amount would be the first two. (Likely to be the most productive) The Tigers would kick in $6 million per year for the final five seasons, meaning the Rangers would be paying him $18 million annually. Despite what many pundits will say, that is not an outrageous number for someone with Fielder's track record, especially when compared to the Pujols, A-Rod, Cano contracts of the world.
One of the knocks on the Rangers in 2013 was the inability to work the count. (While that was a horribly annoying strength of the division champion A's) The Rangers, determined to address this area of need, made another big splash by signing free agent outfielder, Shin-Soo Choo to a 7-year, $130 million deal. This was probably an admitted overpay, but the veteran outfielder made a lot of sense in the Rangers' lineup. He had a reputation for being a machine at getting on base and working the count. In 2013, Choo walked 112 times with an on base percentage of .423. He ranked 8th in the Majors in pitches per plate appearance with 4.23. Combining Fielder and Choo with Beltre in the middle of the Rangers lineup seemed to make perfect sense. With Choo setting the table and working the opposing pitcher, Fielder and Beltre would seemingly get a plethora of early RBI opportunities.
Where it went wrong:
The headline of the 2014 Rangers' season wasn't another playoff race, a Yu Darvish Cy Young campaign, or a Prince Fielder MVP discussion, but simply, injuries. The Rangers' plans all went horribly wrong. The club used a major league record 64 players. The team also lost 2,116 games to the disabled list, shattering the previous major league record of 2,007. Before the season even started, Derek Holland suffered a knee injury and lost for several months. Yu Darvish, Colby Lewis, and Matt Harrison were all deemed not ready for Opening Day. To fill the voids, the Rangers gave Tanner Scheppers, Robbie Ross, Nick Martinez, and veteran Joe Saunders their spots in the rotation. Scheppers, Ross, and Martinez had a combined zero major league starts between them.
Prince Fielder got off to an awful start with the Rangers, hitting only .247 with 3 home runs and 16 RBI. After finding out he had a herniated disc in his neck that would require surgery in May, Fielder was shut down for the rest of the season. Soon after the loss of Fielder, Mitch Moreland was also lost for the season due to an ankle injury. Losing Fielder and Moreland led to the Rangers having to use Carlos Pena, Mike Carp, and Brad Snyder, among others, at 1st.
Shin-Soo Choo had a very good April, hitting .319 with a .446 OBP, but struggled the rest of the way battling elbow and ankle injuries. Choo would miss all of September.
Martin Perez, the Rangers' young lefty, was the lone bright spot in the rotation early on. Perez tossed back-to-back complete game shutouts in April and looked like he was on track to finally cement his spot as a staple in the Rangers' rotation. But like almost everything for the Rangers in 2014, it didn't work out that way. Perez struggled in his first two starts in May, only to find out he needed to have season ending Tommy John surgery.
Perez and Saunders each made only eight starts. Harrison managed four. Holland returned late in the season and was fantastic, but made only six starts. Yu Darvish made 22 starts before being shut down late in the season. Colby Lewis lead the team in starts with 29. After a rocky first half, he was more than serviceable in the second half. At that point, the damage was already done.
The rotation and the bullpen was a constant revolving door of whoever the next warm body was. Joakim Soria was very good in the closer role for the Rangers and when the team fell out of the race, he was dealt to the Tigers for pitching prospects, Jake Thompson and Corey Knebel. Talented, but enigmatic reliever, Neftali Feliz was reinserted into the closer's role. Steady set-up man, Jason Frasor was dealt to Kansas City in exchange for reliever Spencer Patton. Aside from those swaps, a lot of names that emerged on the Rangers' pitching staff seemed to come out of nowhere. Seeing names like Phil Klein, Jon Edwards, Ben Rowen, Jerome Williams, Ryan Feierabend, and Hector Noesi, among others, was an obvious indicator that 2014 did not managw to go as planned. One of the biggest problems in 2014 was that the Rangers didn't have nearly enough depth to cover the overwhelming amount of injuries to the pitching staff.
2015 Off-season thus far:
After such a successful run from 2010-2013, and such a disappointing 2014 campaign, fans wanted to see the Rangers be very active this off-season. Thus far, it has been an uneventful and relatively quiet offseason. The most important transaction so far is the re-signing of Colby Lewis to a one-year deal to fortify the starting rotation. After regaining his strength and form in the second half of 2014, Lewis proved that he is capable of being an innings-eater workhorse for this staff again. The team then traded minor leaguers Abel de los Santos and Christopher Bostick to the Nationals for lefty starter, Ross Detwiler. The moves outside of those have been of little substance. Some of the transactions include:
*Re-signed INF Adam Rosales.
*Signed 1B/OF Kyle Blanks.
*Selected IF/OF Delino DeShields in the Rule 5 Draft.
*Signed P's Ross Wolf, Anthony Bass, Mitch Atkins, and David Martinez to minor league deals.
These moves seem to be more about covering the issue of depth, rather than bringing in "difference-makers." The team is trying to ensure it has some pitchers with Major League experience so that should a starter go down, they have a reserve unit in Triple-A. Also of note is that the majority of the Rangers' top corps of pitching prospects have now reached the upper levels. Chi Chi Gonzalez, Luke Jackson, Jerad Eickhoff, Alec Asher, and Andrew Faulkner all pitched in Double-A or above last season. That next wave of pitching is now knocking on the door of the major leagues, whereas last season, none of those kids were quite ready for major league action.
The reason for standing pat:
It is not unreasonable to think that Jon Daniels and company still have a big move or two up their sleeves. The club has a loaded farm system with plenty of prospects that are coveted by other teams. If the Rangers decided they really wanted to make a run at any of the big names that have been made available in trade, they could have had them. The prospects are there to make a trade and JD has openly said that the team would include some of their top prospects in the right deal.
That being said, it is understandable that the front office would be a bit gun-shy to pull the trigger this offseason. Ownership has given JD a limited amount to spend this winter, and the Rangers have been burned by recent trades and free agent signings. When the team was in "go-for-it" mode, they sent pitchers, Kyle Hendricks, Justin Grimm, Neil Ramirez, and CJ Edwards to the Cubs in separate deals for Ryan Dempster and Matt Garza. Hendricks, Grimm, and Ramirez all would have been helpful to the Rangers' pitching staff in the nightmarish 2014 season. Edwards stands to be the biggest loss in those deals, as he is one of the top prospects in the Cubs' system. Young, controllable, inexpensive arms are becoming increasingly more valuable in baseball every year. The Rangers have nothing to show for the trades of Dempster and Garza.
Arguably the best pitcher to have been traded this off-season that would have made sense for the Rangers, is Arizona lefty, Wade Miley. Miley is still under contract for three more years, is left-handed, and has a solid track record. But Miley is probably a #3 starter, at best. Would the Rangers really be interested in trading some of their most valuable chips for someone who isn't a game-changer? For example, would you want to deal Joey Gallo straight up for Miley? What about Jerad Eickhoff, Luke Jackson, and Lewis Brinson for Miley?
The Rangers aren't interested in closing their competitive window early for a player who is only a marginal upgrade. While the club isn't making headlines, they are likely making a wise decision. After such a miserable, injury-riddled 2014 season, it seems reasonable for the team to see what it has at full health before they go making a big splash. Why go overpay for James Shields or Max Scherzer when you have a healthy Yu Darvish, Prince Fielder, or Shin-Soo Choo? If the Rangers have another disastrous season, health wise, in 2015, that would just be another big contract taking up space on the payroll. The biggest acquisition for this team is health.
If Yu Darvish, Derek Holland, Colby Lewis, Prince Fielder, Shin-Soo Choo, and Mitch Moreland all have healthy seasons, this team will compete. And at that point, the Rangers will still have all of their young trade chips available to make an impact trade when the time comes. However, if there are significant injuries again, hanging onto the young pieces are what will keep this team's competitive window open for years to come.
As a fan, it is easy to be frustrated at the Rangers for their lack of "sexy" moves thus far. But if you step back and look at the big picture, it really makes a lot of sense. Every offseason, teams make deals that they look back on and regret. It is rare that a team looks back and feels remorse hanging onto its young, controllable players, in lieu of taking on large contracts. Just ask the A's how they feel about giving up Addison Russell for a first round exit in the playoffs. Ask the Braves how they feel about giving up Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Matt Harrison, Neftali Feliz, and Elvis Andrus for one year of Mark Teixeira and missing the playoffs. Sometimes, being patient and standing pat is the move that pays the biggest dividends.

Hi everyone! Let's talk pattern, I have always loved paisley but it's been hard for me to get my hands on it for a while. It's a classic print, so hopefully it will trend soon and be up for grabs everywhere (I'll be stocking up if that happens). Until then, this Charlotte Russe kimono is getting plenty of use, added to a simple black one piece, it becomes the main attraction. The fringe detail makes me even happier! Simple outfits like this make for quick mornings also. Happy Monday! XOXO

Siofok (Hungary), May 8 (Reuters): A train sliced through a coach carrying German holidaymakers in Hungary today, killing 33 of the mainly elderly tourists and their driver as it hit the bus and dragged it down the tracks, police said.
The Budapest to Nagykanizsa train slammed into the coach just after 8.30 am (0635 GMT) as it crossed a railway line near Siofok on the shores of Lake Balaton, Hungarys leading tourist area, police spokesman Laszlo Gelencser said.
The coach was carrying 37 passengers when it tried to drive across the railway line even though red stop lights had warned of an oncoming train, the head of the local disaster unit, Gyorgy Heizler, said. Twenty-nine people were killed in the crash, three died later in hospital. The driver was among the dead. The other six passengers were hurt, four seriously.
The train, which was going full speed, practically sliced the bus in two and flattened one half, pushing it around 200 metres down the track, Heizler told a news conference.
He said the death toll had risen after parts of one passengers body had been found among a mass of twisted metal from the coach which was wrapped around the front of the train.
Zoltan Mandoki, the head of Hungarys national railways, blamed the accident on the coach driver, saying he had jumped the stop light.
A full investigation is under way, but it looks like its the fault of the bus driver, he said at the scene. The bodies of many of the dead, pulled from under the partially derailed train, were laid out by the tracks awaiting identification. Emergency services brought in wooden coffins.
Metal shards, torn bus seats and wires littered the tracks. Ambulances and emergency service helicopters ferried the injured to nearby hospitals.
Germanys foreign ministry said it believed the passengers were from the northern states of Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein, but had no further details.
The German coach travel association said the passengers had booked their trip with travel operator Maxim Reisen in Cloppenburg, northern Germany.
That firm had then chartered a coach from Ursel Reisen in Loehne near Bielefeld. Ursel Reisen confirmed it operated the coach, but gave no details other than to say the passengers were of mixed ages.
Emergency service officials said they thought the Germans were staying at a hotel in Siofok, about 100 km southwest of the capital and a popular destination for tourists from Hungarys ex-Communist neighbours.
Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Medgyessy visited the scene with the German ambassador and expressed his shock.
This is maybe the most horrific bus accident in Hungarys history, he said, adding he had contacted German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder about the crash.
Last July, 19 Poles were killed and 32 injured in the same part of Hungary when a bus taking them on a pilgrimage to Bosnia ploughed into a roundabout and overturned.
In September 1992, 16 German holidaymakers died in a bus crash in Hungary.
Mandoki told reporters 18 people were killed at the same rail crossing in a similar accident in 1982.
Medgyessy said his government would now look into whether more safety barriers should be installed at rail crossings.

Katie takes part in many education programs here at the Museum. Due to a scheduling conflict, she couldn't attend the last class of MicroMuseum (Paris called!). To make it up, she decided on her own to wrote up this "extra credit" critique of the Louvre's new Audio Guide on Nintendo 3DS ™ XL. With her permission, I am delighted to share it with you here:
I'm sitting in the Parisian airport about to go home now. Since I did miss class, I did some extra credit. I went to the Louvre yesterday, and they have a pretty intriguing audio guide. It's actually a Nintendo 3DS!
It comes, with headphones, for 3€. It's a pretty fascinating tool. The audio information was well produced, you could examine famous sculptures up close (utilizing the device's 3D tool, which was nice when there were big crowds) and the occasional video was cool, although I don't know why you'd want to watch a video instead of looking at the art.
What makes it unique is that it has a GPS. The days of getting lost in museums, particularly massive ones like the Louvre and AMNH, will soon be over! With two taps of the screen, it tells you which hall you're in, with a Birdseye view. Two more taps, and you get directions to restaurants, bathrooms, or particular rooms or works. You could also look up audio guides by call number, and find things to see by medium.
There were a couple flaws. One was that the visuals were pretty shoddy. The virtual sculptures would have been way cooler if they didn't look like something out of Nintendogs.
Also, only some major works had information available about them away from the exhibit itself. Other halls could be tapped on in the main map screen, but only showed photos of the hall and the room title. And sometimes, audio would be triggered just by stepping into a hall, which was cool at first, except I paused it to share a fact with my mom, and I looked back and it had disappeared 🙁
However in general it was a pretty handy device. I was able to plan a route to what we wanted to see during lunch, and once we got there I had a vague idea of what to expect. It made the labyrinth of the Louvre much less intimidating for a first time visitor. Also, it was waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the audio guides at the other museums we visited.
Ok that's my report!

Interesting debate sparked by Arizona, know for its extremely right-wing politics. The basic thing is Arizonans – or Arizoni – want local law enforcement to arrest people who are breaking the immigration laws. It's out of frustration with the Federal Government failure to secure the borders.
On the surface, it seems like a logical thing to do because A) law enforcement's most fundamental job is after all, law enforcement; B) illegal immigrants are here, well, illegally; C) there is terrible unemployment here and it's hard for a citizen to find a job.
So what to do? Arizona's answer is to arrest and deport.
So now we get into the immigrant politics. Ever heard of the Nortenos and the Surenos? These are gangs in California they also use the monikers of the 13's and the 14's. So why two Mexican gangs you may ask? Well the answer is simple, Mexicans who are born here don't like Mexicans who are illegal, they even call the immigrants "Scraps". Why you may ask? Well, I've asked a few people and the answer is simple, for the same reasons that everyone else doesn't like them coming illegally – simply this – they take jobs at lower wages than those of us who pay taxes can afford to.
Plain and simple. But wait a minute, is it?
I wish it were so simple. An interesting thing happened on my way to take pictures of the protest, I cam across numerous crews of illegal immigrants mowing the lawns of the people marching. Now, you may say, WAIT A MINUTE YOU CRANKY OLD FART, and they'd be right. I don't have evidence the people marching hire illegals, but I found it fascinating that there were whole crews of them mowing and trimming and leaf-blowing on my way to the see the protest at California's Capitol.
Interestingly, passing behind me an elderly couple observing the procession from across the street personified the divide of people walking on opposite sides of that street. The old man called out "Good for Arizona". I don't think he was heard above the "Si se puede!" chanting of the thousands.
Long ago I was part of a group that supported and promoted the success of Latinos in my town. I was the sole gringo on the Board. A comment back in 1994 caught my ear. One guy on the Board commented in Spanish that Latinos have a "feurza" from So. Cal to San Jose and that it was growing and getting stronger. His conviction was that California was destined to become a Latino State and anyone who has been to LA lately would likely agree.
A guy I worked for in about 1978 who had been a labor organizer in the Central Valley told me and I quote, "They're taking it back without firing a shot." Meaning that the Mexican workers were coming in mass numbers and taking control of the state by sheer numbers, and without violence.
Jared Diamond in "Guns, Germs, and Steel" asserted that one culture overcame another either by superior technology or through disseminating them by infecting them with diseases they were unable to resist. I think he overlooked a key concept, reproduction in overwhelming numbers. Diamond missed an additional concept that should have been added, superior libido combined with almost total disregard for upward mobility. Latinos like many 3rd world people are more interested in ensuring their comfortable old age than in providing ski vacations. They'd rather pay to feed 8 kids than take two to Disneyland every summer. They know that their survival as older people, seniors, doesn't rely on a 401k but the willingness and ability of their children to care for them. They come from a different system, a different culture, and this culture says reproduce, be fruitful and multiply, and they are, and they're overwhelming the whites because they have more kids.
So this thing in Arizona is one of the last acts of a dying culture, a shrinking ethnicity (at least percentage-wise in the border states), a dying idea – and it's dying or at the very least on the wane on several levels. Whites are still in power politically, but their days are numbered. Whites are still in power financially, but their days are numbered. Whites are no longer in the majority, their number is up.
Will Latinos do it better than whites. I'm not hopeful about that, just look at the corruption of the Latino countries where bribery (mordidas) is just part of doing business and living. Unless the Latinos coming here are doing so to discard old, failed ways, it's going to be a mess, but there's no stopping it. My advice, learn Spanish and get ready to pay mordidas to do business.

North Vancouver - British Columbia
Capilano University's Bosa Centre (Film Studies)
This new four-storey, 4,000 m2 Film Study Centre facility provides an iconic presence on the newly accredited university campus. The structure, particularly in the form of a 400 foot long, fourth-storey bridge like "bar" which houses classrooms and laboratories, does much to contribute. Supported by the three concrete cores, the two massive steel trusses dramatically free span over the building and extends over the bus loop area.
The complex program included in this state-of-the-art facility lead to dramatically different spaces, from standard office and classrooms to world class film studio spaces. To achieve efficiency, the structural concept responds to the different requirements of these spaces with the use of different structural systems and materials including tilt-up and steel construction for the main film studio, almost a building in itself, and the use of exposed post and beam glulam frames with composite and non-composite solid wood panel decking in the office and lobby areas.Client: Capilano University
Architect: Cannon Design

Sure, an accident and unwanted, but everything is an accident and unwanted. The point is how you're going to live with what you're given. The question is not what you could have been given, but what you're capable of doing. Don't ask why you have to be here, on this planet, but ask why you, as an individual, might ever care enough to ask that question.
Like a fleck of dust, you sit and watch, like every one has, and you take it all in without participating. But now you understand, your "non-participation" was as much participation as any piece of dust. Do you pay taxes? Do those taxes go to wars and prison camps and torture chambers? Do you buy products? That is, do you buy food and housing, like every one else in society? Then does that money end up paying the wages of overseers who whip children in sweatshop factories? Is that food produced by the slaughter and mass killing of billions of creatures? And is it served to you, only after so many millions have been imprisoned, exploited, and oppressed? It comes off of the tray that the slave serves, but now that slave is in some Vietnamese or South Congo sweatshop. And now, instead of a house slave, there is a a lowly paid service worker.
Slavery and oppression still go on, only since American business interests still make an interest off of it. But you -- do you live off of it? Do you benefit by this foreign exploitation? Do you take part in using those of foreign nations, so that you can live life more easily? Do you work for any of those companies? Do you buy any of their products? Have you ever asked yourself these questions about your relationship to your employer? And when you're gathered with your fellow workers, ready to start work, do you ever discuss how things could be done differently? How maybe you could live, and work, in a way that produces enough for you, without maintaining itself on slavery? Probably just as much as you ask the same questions about the products you buy.
Does it come out of Capitalism? And do you vote for the politicians who publicly ignore and secretly laugh at police brutality victims? Is it burrowed out of the mines that little, African children must work to pry diamonds? Is it from those who have been beaten by police, shot at by the military, and neglected by all of humanity's "professional and educated"? Is it good? Is it beautiful? Does it love? Does it want? Does it grow out of nothing and then finally into something? Does it take nothing and give all? Does it love, and not hate?
Is it capable of producing the society where nobody hurts anybody else? Can it make a world where no person must beg another for their rights? Can it come into my life, help me understand these walls, and then finally tear them all down? Can it destroy everything, and in that moment of glorious power, make everything that everyone has ever needed?
There are too many questions haunting our consciences. And for each, we must demand answers.

Cricket Match
Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe
Sri Lanka Win By 82 Runs
That's a resounding message from the tournament hosts. Zimbabwe were totally outgunned in all departments, and certainly didn't help themselves after an abject day in the field. Jeevan Mendis and Kumar Sangakkara walloped them with the bat before Ajantha Mendis and Jeevan, again, completed the job with the ball. Tomorrow sees the Australians face Ireland and, later, Afghanistan challenge India. Catch you then.
Over 17.3 - Zim 100/10 (Vitori 7)
Sri Lanka call their star pace ace back into the attack to finish the job - and he does just that as Mpofu loops and easy catch to mid-off. Game over.
Over 17 - Zim 93/9 (Mpofu 0, Vitori 0)
WICKET! Cremer cleaned up by his fellow leg-spinner. He read it correctly, but it didn't turn as much as he expected, also sneaking through the gate to rattle the stumps. Mpofu is the last man in, and soon showing his ability (or lack thereof) with the bat with a weird forward-defence.
Over 16 - Zim 87/8 (Cremer 11, Vitori 0)
WICKET! Utseya's lavish drive succeeds only in spooning and edge to slip, with Mendis welcoming a whopping five-wicket haul. These are the second-best figures in the history of the tournament, bettered only by Pakistan seamer Umar Gul's five for six. WICKET! Soon he has the best ever, though, trapping Jarvis dead in front of the stumps with a wrong'un. Easy lbw decision, that. He ends the match with figures of six for eight. Record-breaking. Crazy.
Over 15 - Zim 80/6 (Cremer 11, Utseya 1)
Zimbabwe must, at least, bat out their full 20 overs. That will serve as a bit of consolation amid impending doom. Cremer and Utseya are fully aware of this, dropping anchor across this over from Jeevan.
Over 14 - Zim 80/6 (Cremer 7, Utseya 0)
Too straight from Ajantha, whose rogue line his helped around the corner for four by Chigumbura. WICKET! Those are his last runs for the day, though, as the next delivery - straighter, sharper, faster - crashes through the gate to castle the stumps. Clever variation from Mendis, who has a four-four now. Zimbabwe crumbling. Utseya in now.
Over 13 - Zim 75/5 (Cremer 6, Chigumbura 15)
Chigumbura won't go down without a fight, hoisting the leg-spin of Jeevan high and hard over midwicket for six. Cremer, meanwhile, can't pick the wrong'uns despite being a leg-spinner himself.
Over 12 - Zim 66/5 (Cremer 5, Chigumbura 8)
Perera continues, and induces an edge from Cremer but it falls just short of the slip in place. The next ball is also edged, but flies to the third man boundary for four.
Over 11 - Zim 59/5 (Cremer 0, Chigumbura 7)
Jeevan Mendis is on now for some leg-spin, hoping to add to his good effort with the bat. Then, Sanga does a great job behind the stumps and WICKET! Ervine must go after failing to get his foot down in time. The Mendis duo are having a great match here, as Waller comes to the middle. Heavens, so much turn! WICKET! Easy peasy decision for Rod Tucker, Wallter trapped in front for a duck while standing right back on the stumps. Cremer comes in and faces a leg-side wide first up.
Over 10 - Zim 57/3 (Ervine 10, Chigumbura 5)
Mendis makes way for Thisara Perera, who is no stranger to taking wickets. The first ball beats the bat, and the second is wide and smacked with a cut but there is a man on the point boundary. Ervine hits a lovely pull off the final ball for six, while the run rate has now crept closer to 13.
Over 9 - Zim 48/3 (Ervine 3, Chigumbura 3)
Yet another leg-bye adds to the Zim total as Mathews hits the pads. The risky running continues as they pair try for a second and get it, but if the bowler had collected the throw it may have been curtains. A single ends the over, down to fine leg off the pads.
Over 8 - Zim 43/3 (Ervine 0, Chigumbura 3)
Mendis continues and gets another WICKET! Masakadza departs as he is bowled neatly, having scored 20 runs. There's an appeal for LBW against Craig Ervine, but a) the bowler was in the umpire's way so he couldn't see, and b) it hit the gloves. Wicket maiden!
Over 7 - Zim 43/2 (Masakadza 20, Chigumbura 3)
Angelo Mathews is into the action, and Chigumbura takes a single off the first ball, before Masakadza does the same with a push past point. The all-rounder is bowling a good line though, and his pace is that tricky in-between speed that's tough to get away. They only get four runs off it, as Zimbabweans the world over grumble about the earlier stumping.
Over 6 - Zim 39/2 (Masakadza 18, Chigumbura 0)
Spinner Ajantha Mendis is brought into the attack, and the Zim lads take a risky single. Then, WICKET! Sibanda is out for 11 after finding his bails scattered, beaten all ends up as the ball hits the middle stump. The skipper Brendan Taylor comes to the middle and there is immediate action, as he is stumped and they call for a replay. It's OUT, his toe is a millimetre off the ground. This leaves Mendis on a hat-trick, but Elton Chigumbura is all defence.
Over 5 - Zim 36/0 (Masakadza 17, Sibanda 11)
Sibanda tries to emulate his partner, but swings and misses against Kula first ball, before edging it behind but they run for a single as Sangakkara misfields. Next ball is misfielded too, at short fine leg, so there must be something on the grass tonight because the fielding from both sides has been poor. Sibanda takes a step forward and flashes hard, getting a thick top edge that flies for four. Zim are keeping pace with where Sri Lanka were at this stage.
Over 4 - Zim 28/0 (Masakadza 17, Sibanda 4)
Masakadza is letting rip now, whipping Malinga off his pads for a boundary off the first ball, this time getting it in the middle of the bat. It's easy to get a single off the next ball as the fielders are quite far out, so he pops it square. Good running gets them two off the penultimate ball, before Hamilton bashes it back over Malinga's head for four. Superb shot, and it's 11 off the over for Masakadza.
Over 3 - Zim 16/0 (Masakadza 6, Sibanda 3)
Kulasekara tries for an LBW appeal, but it hits outside the line and it's half-hearted. Sibanda takes a leg-bye single as a result, before Masakadza gets off the mark with a push for a single. Once back on strike, Hamilton bashes it with brute force past Kula, not timing required, for a boundary. He ends the over with a risky single that would have sent him packing had mid-off struck the stumps.
Over 2 - Zim 8/0 (Masakadza 0, Sibanda 2)
Lasith Malinga steams in and beats the bat nicely, though Sibanda manages to push it into the covers for a single. Four leg-byes come off Masakadza's hip, much to Mahela's amusement, and Hamilton is yet to get off the mark. Malinga's bowling it full and straight, looking good.
Over 1 - Zim 3/0 (Masakadza 0, Sibanda 1)
A very good start for the hosts, with lots of swing for Nuwan Kulasekara. Sibanda gets a single but the other two runs comes from a wide and leg bye. The run rate is 9.47 now.
The Pursuit
Batsmen Sibanda and Masakadza, umpires Gould and Tucker and the Sri Lankan head out to the middle for the resumption of play. Zimbabwe chasing a target of 183 at a rate of a little more than nine runs per over.
Sri Lanka End On 182 For Four
Dilshan and Munaweera did well at the top of the knock before the spinners tied down proceedings for a brief period. Mendis later added some spunk to the Sri Lankan middle order, with Sangakkara along for the ride. Zimbabwe dropped two catches, missed a couple of run-outs, let through a string of overthrows and were guilty of a handful of misfields. They won't be happy with their day in the field, but will back their batsman to triumph regardless. Stick around for the chase, it should be a cracker. Meanwhile, your thoughts on proceedings so far welcome at: email@example.com
Over 20 - SL 182/4 (Jeevan 43, Perera 6)
Back-to-back blockhole deliveries from Mpofu, who later has the third hoisted over square-leg for the second six of the match by Sangakkara. The left-hander really got under that one, using the depths of his crease to great effect. WICKET! He then runs himself out, though, searching for a quick second. He sacrificed himself for the cause there. Perera in now, and straight into the thick of things, planking six over square-leg. He misses the last ball, though.
Over 19 - SL 167/3 (Sangakkara 36, Jeevan 42)
Jarvis' attempt to run out Sangakkara at the striker's end goes askew, amounting to four more overthrows for Sri Lanka. The batsman then rubs salt into the wounds, lofting four more over point. Then a waist-high no-ball, and Zimbabwe all splitting at the seams here. Bowling coach Heath Streak will be upset by this performance. The Zimbabwean attack is much better than this, and they will know as much. Finally, Ervine at square-leg, puts in a superb diving stop to restore the balance.
Over 18 - SL 150/3 (Sangakkara 30, Jeevan 37)
Vitori will bowl the third-last over of the innings, making sure to get his length as full as possible, ensuring the bounce too. Sangakkara hasn't been at his fluid best today, and this partnership would be pretty languid were it not for Mendis' effort. This, by the way, is now his highest score in T20I cricket, outgunning the 29 not out he made against the Aussies in August. An overthrow and a wide, meanwhile, help Sri Lanka all the more. 150 up for Sri Lanka. Zimbabwe, if/when they lose this match, will rue a poor day in the field...
Over 17 - SL 139/3 (Sangakkara 22, Jeevan 35)
Jarvis back into the attack, and right up there with a couple of blockhole deliveries, which are always going to be hard to get away. So the batsmen decide to make their own length, dancing down the track to meet the delivery at its pitch. Unfortunately, for Zimbabwe, the latest yorker beats everyone, including wicketkeeper Taylor, as four byes scream to the fence.
Over 16 - SL 129/3 (Sangakkara 20, Jeevan 31)
Mendis flatbats a single past bowler Mpofu, allowing Sangakkara some strike, but the former captain quickly returns it to his fellow left-hander. This trend continues for the bulk of the over, with Sri Lanka only managing singles when they want boundaries. One such four eventually arrives, with Sangakkara helping some lame width over the head of point. Sri Lanka on course for a 160-plus total here - pretty good considering the trying nature of this pitch.
Over 15 - SL 120/3 (Sangakkara 15, Jeevan 27)
Chigumbura's introduction into the attack brings immediate expense for Zimbabwe, with Mendis hoisting the first six of the tournament over backward square-leg. Later, he tries the switch hit, but doesn't connect. David Warner or Kevin Pietersen surely would have done better. Nor does his huge heave across the line to a slower delivery work. Rushes of blood to the head, indeed. A little lap around the corner, all the way for four, certainly pays off. Chigumbura needs to find a tighter line, especially with thirdman and fine-leg up in the circle.
Over 14 - SL 107/3 (Sangakkara 14, Jeevan 16)
Swept in front of square, darn hard at that, Mendis wants everything to do with Cremer's long-hop. That's exactly why he has been sent to the crease ahead of Mathews, as his next slap to the long-off fence attests to. Poor end to an otherwise great four-over complement from the leg-spinner. Jeevan outscoring Sangakkara now. So arrives the Sri Lankan 100.
Over 13 - SL 96/3 (Sangakkara 12, Jeevan 7)
Mpofu back into the attack, and he starts with a clever slower ball to fool Mendis. Zimbabwe's boundary riders later do some good work on the fences, preventing a couple of fours. Not the men at mid-off and mid-on, though, who allow Jeevan four on the drive. A bobble in the field, perhaps, didn't help 'em. The umpire is left laughing at the sight of the comedy of errors. Meanwhile, two left-handers at the crease, and it's not doing much to help the fast bowler's quest for a consistent line.
Over 12 - SL 86/3 (Sangakkara 8, Jeevan 1)
This will be another run-out. WICKET! Casually trotting through for the second run, Jayawardene doesn't realise the immediacy behind the return throw from that man Waller, seeking redemption for his two dropped catches. The bowler gathers, whips off the bails, and the batsman's lunge isn't long enough. That's poor running from the veteran. He will be kicking himself, perhaps literally, en route back to the dugout. Jeevan, promoted above Mathews or Perera, to the crease now - and he will do well to not take example from his captain's lead.
Over 11 - SL 80/2 (Jayawardene 12, Sangakkara 4)
Zimbabwe's spinners tying the batsmen down despite their finest efforts to find the fence. Jayawardene eventually middles one, but can only pick out the man on the midwicket fence. On the bounce, though, so no harm either way. Utseya finding so much turn, that it pitches on off-stump and turns down the leg-side - no wide, rightly so.
Over 10 - SL 76/2 (Jayawardene 11, Sangakkara 1)
Not for the first time today and probably not the last, Sri Lanka chance their arm with a risky single. No run-out now, and now lbw dismissal later either. Cremer, who gets the wrong'un to drift into Jayawardene and traps him on the front pad dead in front, has his appeal obliged. Jayawardene starts to make his way off the field, only to return after television replays reveal a backfoot no-ball from the leg-spinner. He touched the popping crease with his heel. Shame. That will, momentarily, take the wind out of Zimbabwe's sails. They can't let this negatively affect 'em, though. WICKET! All is well that ends well for the African side, however, with Dilshan feathering an edge to the wicketkeeper. That was the straight, quick delivery from Cremer. It has done the trick. No backfoot no-ball in this one. 2012 ICC Cricketer of the Year and Test Cricketer of the Year Sangakkara in now.
Over 9 - SL 70/1 (Dilshan 38, Jayawardene 8)
Utseya cops the tournament's first reverse-sweep, with Jayawardene orchestrating the unorthdox shot to perfection in fetching four exquisite runs. With thirdman and fine-leg up in the circle, that unusual stroke is always on offer. The regular sweep, too, which Dilshan deploys for a couple more. Sri Lanka gunning it at almost eight runs an over here and, with nine wickets still in hand, can target a 190-plus score - if they really get stuck in from here on in...
Over 8 - SL 59/1 (Dilshan 32, Jayawardene 3)
Time for some leg-spin as Cremer, picked ahead of the veteran price, enters the attack. He really has to get his length right, or he will travel far and wide at the hands of Dilshan and Jayawardene's collective mercilessness. And he does just that, keeping the trigger-happy duo's boundary-seeking ambition to mere singles.
Over 7 - SL 55/1 (Dilshan 30, Jayawardene 1)
WICKET! Absolute comedy of errors as Munaweera falls to his knees in trying to sweep, misses the ball, sets off for a run regardless, but is turned on his heels by Dilshan's denial. The striker loses his bat amid the drama, and can't beat the return throw back to his crease. For all that, he is run out, as television replays soon reveal. You don't see that every day - a batsman putting in a giant leap instead of the dive. Correctly so, in this case, as he didn't have a piece of wood to elongate his lunge. Off he mopes. Captain Jayawardene in now.
Over 6 - SL 53/0 (Munaweera 17, Dilshan 29)
More right-arm seam. Mpofu will bowl the final over of the Powerplay. DROPPED! Meanwhile, the ball is following Waller, who grasses a realtively easy chance at backward square-leg. Falling forward, clasping at the ball low to the ground, he only manages to parry it to the deck - Munaweera survives again. Dilshan takes advantage of the lifeline on his batting partner's behalf, deploying his trademark 'DilScoop' and a the straightest of drives for back-to-back fours. Expensive start for the lanky, wayward Mpofu as the Sri Lanka 50 - and, of course, the half-century alliance - arrives.
Over 5 - SL 38/0 (Munaweera 12, Dilshan 19)
The 2012 World Twenty20's first over of spin will be bowled by Utseya, whose lack of effective length is soon worked to the deep-cover fence for four by Dilshan. Great timing in that shot, indeed. Utseya too coughs up a leg-side wide, and then another - that's a full over of extra deliveries from the visiting attack. Shameful. Some tidy turn for Utseya regardless, though.
Over 4 - SL 29/0 (Munaweera 12, Dilshan 13)
Zimbabwe's seamers almost averaging a wide per over here, and that's really not what skipper Taylor will want after winning the toss and choosing to bowl first. Dilshan then chases what would have been a leg-side wide, fetching a top edge which fortunately plugs into no-man's land in the fine-leg area. Later a clever slower, albeit full, delivery - and another lame wide, and then a half-volley walloped for four by Dilshan. Vitori not loving life in and against Sri Lanka at the moment. The over closes with Munaweera almost run out at the striker's end. He was gone for all money had the attempted direct-hit struck willow.
Over 3 - SL 19/0 (Munaweera 11, Dilshan 6)
Dilshan and sidekick going hard at the ball each and every time. Not connecting well, though, and they'd be better off just turning the singles until their respective proverbial eyes on in. Jarvis, meanwhile, finds some big bounce - but cops a wide for his bent-back effort. At least he will know what this pitch has to offer from that short ball. The debutant later spoons four over the bowler's head, but misses his next swipe through the line. DROPPED! And, to cap the over, Waller spills a chance in the deep. Munaweera miscued, the ball skied, and then fell through the fingers of the fielder in the midwicket region. Waller did all the hard work in getting there, but couldn't hang on with outstretched arms. Tough chance, indeed, but those need to be taken at this level.
Over 2 - SL 10/0 (Munaweera 4, Dilshan 5)
Southpaw seamer Vitori next, approaching the right-handed Dilshan from over - and very wide - of the wicket. Too full, eventually, though, and duly spanked through the covers for four by Dilshan, who remains perturbed by the movement behind the bowler's arm. Too often cricket falls prey to rogue, silly fans meandering across the sightscreen. Then a lame leg-side wide, and a single tucked behind square-leg. Really, not a great start from Vitori, until he bites back - to an extent - with a shout for lbw. Pitched outside Munaweera's leg-stump, though, so was never going to be given out. Never say never, however, when umpire Tucker is involved.
Over 1 - SL 4/0 (Munaweera 4, Dilshan 0)
Right-arm seamer Jarvis gets first use of the new ball and coughs up an ugly full toss to start. It swung, yes, but was harmless, with Munaweera slicing it through backward point and cover for four. A boundary off your first ball faced in international cricket, fancy that. The rest of the over is tighter from Jarvis, who cleans up his act - and forces the debutant into a false shot to close the over.
Lack Of Bums On Seats
Small, albeit growing, crowd in. Not what you want to see from the get-go of a major ICC tournament, but so be it. This isn't a major game, really, the bigger guns will file in later this week - and so to the appropriately sized crowds.
"Zimbabwe might fancy themselves here, by causing an upset here. Sri Lanka, at home, will be difficult to beat. But who knows what might happen if they manage to restrict Sri Lanka? Something chaseable, I hope," declares Thomas Musonza.
Strap In For The Ride
With the fanfare, national anthems, handshakes and other such pleasantries over, umpires Rod Tucker and Ian Gould, opening batsmen Munaweera - a fine graduate of the Sri Lanka Premier League - and Dilshan and the Zimbabwean XI out to the middle for the start of play. Game on. Here we go.
Odd Selection
"No Price?! What are Zimbabwe thinking? They just can't afford to not play the experienced man," says Michael Knott. Your thoughts on the teams' respective selections welcome here: firstname.lastname@example.com
Sri Lanka XI
Dilshan Munaweera, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Mahela Jayawardene, KC Sangakkara, Angelo Mathews, Lahiru Thirimanne, Thisara Perera, Jeevan Mendis, Nuwan Kulasekara, Ajantha Mendis, Lasith Malinga
Zimbabwe XI
Hamilton Masakadza, Vusi Sibanda, Brendan Taylor, Craig Ervine, Malcolm Waller, Elton Chigumbura, Graeme Cremer, Prosper Utseya, Kyle Jarvis, Brian Vitori, Chris Mpofu.
Team News
Spinner Ajantha Mendis makes a return to the Sri Lankan XI, while opening batsman Dilshan Munwaweera is handed a debut. Taylor, meanwhile, is pleased with his plehora of spin-bowling options, which includes specialists Prosper Utseya and Graeme Cremer. No Ray Price, though.
This just in: Visiting skipper Brendan Taylor triumphs in the flip of the coin and Zimbabwe will field first.
Let's Hear From You
While we await the toss, here's our first bit of feedback for the day - Thomas Pendleton, from Essex, is looking forward to seeing how the conditions play out: "England need to get to grips with the Sri Lankan specs quickly, and this match between the hosts and Zimbos will soon show what's on offer. I see New Zealand used two spinners to open the attack in their warm-up game? Will that be the general trend?" You too can mail your opinions to: firstname.lastname@example.com
We've got a coolish evening on our hands in Hambantota, where the wind is very prevalent as usual. Meanwhile, pseudo pitch pundit Sanjay Manjrekar has surveyed the playing surface, finding a bit of grass cover, but by no means is this a greentop, he insists.

The infamous Amelia Earhart is making news once again. Dana Trimmer, who launched a deep-sea exploration in 1999, is going at it again and this time with more punch and a bigger brawl.
Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan disappeared during their flight around the world. The last and final transmission before losing Earhart was to the U.S. Coast Guard ship, the Itasca, who was waiting to refuel the Lockheed Electra airplane. That fatal last transmission gave notice to the Itasca that they were running out of fuel. That very same transmission has given way for one of the biggest mysteries in aviation history.
Many may remember the name Dana Trimmer as he is the four-time America's Cup sailor that made the news many times over the past 30 years. Trimmer is a pilot as well, and he has taken on the efforts once again to find Earhart's illusive plane. Trimmer has a unique, if not strange idea about the airplane, he believes it has already been found and nobody actually realizes it.
Trimmer has said that the most dangerous part of the flight was that from New Guinea to Howland Island in the Pacific Ocean. Howland Island is approximately halfway between Hawaii and Australia. The 4-time America's Cup champion believes that Earhart crashed near Howland Island and not Gardner Island like so many in the past believed.
Trimmer's campaign to raise $2 million dollars was a bit of a struggle but when he reached $1.96 million he entrusted the expedition to Williamson and Associates, a historic shipwreck search crew. Trimmer said he picked the particular company as it has a long standing history of working with the U.S. Navy and has done documentaries and historical fact finding mission for the Discovery Channel.
Through recent and new sonar data, several shapes have shown up under enlarged pixels images. With the advancements of sonar and photographic equipment, the hunt for Earhart's Lockheed Electra may soon be in sight.
Trimmer's team is departing from Samoa Island for a 40 day, on the sea adventure. The entire trip will be compiled into a documentary for television. Trimmer has noted that he has the best of wishes from the Earhart family. The family has told Trimmer that if the airplane is found then the rights to it belong to him.
Trimmer said that if the airplane is found, he will raise the funds to completely restore it and give it another resting place in the Smithsonian Institute for the entire world to see and remember.

Hi Rama
There are certain home remedies that you can try for the problem of constipation:
1. The oily composition of sesame seeds works to moisturize the intestines and relieves the problem.
2. One tablespoon of blackstrap molasses before bed help ease constipation.
3. Fiber acts like a pipe cleaner, scrubbing food and waste particles from your digestive tract and soaking up water. Aim for 20 to 35 grams of fiber a day to stay regular. Foods particularly high in fiber include bran cereals, beans, lentils, oatmeal, almonds, barley, many vegetables, and fresh and dried fruits.
4. Mint and ginger are both proven very effective for digestive problems.
5. Olive oil, nuts, and avocados all contain healthy fats, which can help lubricate your intestines and ease constipation.
6. The citric acid in lemon juice acts as a stimulant to your digestive system and can help flush toxins from your body.
7. Coffee can stimulate your colon and speed up your trip to the bathroom.
I hope it helps you!
Hi Rama

Exclusive: 'She was full of life... I've been to too many funerals' - Grandfather of teen killed in crash
A Dublin teenager who was killed in a horror road crash in Donegal has been described as a girl who constantly wanted more from life.
Kiara Baird (19) who was originally from Clondalkin, died along with Maria Wallace (38) when the car in which they were traveling with a man in his 20s lost control on a bend on the Glenfin Road, on the outskirts of Ballybofey, Co Donegal at 4.15pm on Wednesday.
Ms Wallace is believed to be a mother of three boys.
Today Kiara's grandfather Declan paid tribute to her, as he came to terms with the shocking news in his Clondalkin home.
He said Kiara had moved with her mother Tracy and her three siblings to Donegal around six years ago to make a better life for themselves because Tracy did not want to bring up her children in Dublin.
"She wanted her children to be safe. I reared all my family here in the city, and I wouldn't change that, but times have changed a lot since then and Tracy didn't want her children reared in the city," said Declan.
"There's another daughter of mine in Kerry for the same reason," he added.
"Kiara was our first grandchild. The first of the next generation of 13 grandchildren. She was special because of that.
"She was full of life and full of questions, and constantly wanted more from life. Kiara would still come down to Dublin a lot to go out with friends, and I would see her often. What happened is just awful," he added.
"I'm a youth worker myself, and I've known a lot of young people killed in car crashes as a result. I've been to too many funerals.
"I don't know what happened in the crash. I don't want to be a person looking for any blame. All I know is Kiara is gone. All I know is we miss her," Declan explained.
He said Kiara had been on a training course in Donegal in recent times.
The crash happened on what was billed as the European Day Without A Road Death (EDWARD) - an initiative that was hoped would see no road deaths in Europe for one day.
It is understood the blue Citroen C3 that the three were travelling in left the R252 road on a sweeping bend.
The car collided with a pole and came to a stop in a parking area for trucks.
The weather at the time was said to be poor, and the area experienced heavy downpours of rain yesterday, following a two-day dry spell.
Gardaí attended the scene shortly after the incident and the road remained closed for a number of hours last night.
Kiara was pronounced dead at the scene while Ms Wallace was taken to Letterkenny University Hospital where she was later pronounced dead.
The man, who was aged in his 20s, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was also taken to Letterkenny University Hospital. No other injuries were reported.
Tributes were paid online to the pair this morning.
Friend Victoria Sweeney wrote of Kiara: "Such a shock, rip beautiful girl sleep tight Kiara Baird gone but never forgotten you will be sadly missed."
Another pal described the teenager as "a wee legend" who was "always the life of the party".
Sophia Villa wrote on Facebook of Ms Wallace, who was also known as Maria Carlin: "Life is just so fragile you forget just how quickly it can be taken away in the saddest of circumstances. Rest well with the Angels Maria Carlin. Please keep my siblings and their family in your prayers tonight folks."
Jackson's Hotel is around 800m from the crash site in the town land of Camish and a staff member said she understood one of the deceased was the relative of a colleague.
Local Fianna Fáil councillor Patrick McGowan described the incident as an awful tragedy.
"There's families now just waiting for bad news. It's terrible," he said.
Gardaí have appealed for witnesses and anyone with information has been asked to contact them at Letterkenny Garda Station on 074 9167100, the Garda Confidential Line, 1800 666111 or any garda station.

One Castelli Climbers Jersey available, colour is Ocean (aka blue) & size "Large"
(I put that in quotes for good reason... as it turns out that large in this jersey doesn't fit me unlike the Castelli jersey I already had!)
It's brand new (apart from being tried on then put back in the packet).
Before I send it back to the shop, which I have to do pretty soon, I thought I'd offer it on here in case anyone would like to take it off my hands... it cost £73 (plus P&P) and I would like to recoup my money for the top itself (as that's what I'll get back if I return it).
Apologies for the photo - it's not great, but at least shows what it looks like... sort of

I'm really bad at this kind of stuff. I guess I just need some advice on how to talk to someone I just recently met and know so little about.
Here are some details about the encounter:
I live in Washington and went to California to celebrate St Patricks Day with my Aunt (shes really cool and we have a lot of fun!) Anyways, we went out to this pub and had a great time. While I was there I met this girl and although we didn't talk too much (it was packed and very loud) we did dance a bit and hung out for a few hours. Before I left I told her I was heading home on Monday (this was Saturday night) but that I would still like to get her number. She gave it too me and told me we should meet for coffee or something if I had time Sunday. Well, I did a bunch of touristy stuff with my aunt and didn't call/text her Sunday (wish I would have). I did, however, send her a text after I got home and told her it was great meeting her and that I had a fun time. We exchanged a couple more text messages that night but nothing exciting.
So now I don't know what to do. She really did seem cool and I would like to keep in contact with her. In all seriousness, my plan is to move to Southern California sometime within the next year and it would be great to already have some friends (or even just the one) when I get down there. I'm not really sure how to keep a casual conversation/relationship going.
Would it be weird/awkward if I told her that I was planning on moving down there? Or if I was like "hey, so I'm gonna save your number and get in touch the next time I'm in town!" I don't expect a serious relationship to develop but, hey, who knows.
I live here, she lives there... How do I make sure we keep in touch?
I'm really bad at this kind of stuff. I guess I just need some advice on how to talk to someone I just recently met and know so little about.

What Girls Said 1
Don't tell her you plan on moving down. I think that is creepy. I like your quoted text idea. You should just put it aside until you move down there and not expect anything. Don't get your hopes up. Hope that helps :) In the meantime...I happen to live in Washington ;) haha00|00|0
Thanks for the response! Ya, I'll probably not mention my plans to move down there just yet. I think I'll just tell her I'm saving her number and see how/if she responds. But for now... You live in Washington too, huh? Small world! ;)

Can u give me conflicts about internal external person vs self person vs person vs nature person vs society and quotes in each of this and page #?
- print Print
- list Cite
In the book "The Outsiders" by Hinton the story is about three brothers who live in a lower income community. Pony Boy is the primary character and it is through him that the reader observes many of the conflicts common to adolescent males.
In looking at the concept of man versus nature the scene when Johnny reacts after seeing Pony Boy being dunked under water is a good example. It is man's nature to be protective of himself and those he cares about. Nature took over and caused the innate reaction of Johnny stabbing the Soc Bob, who was the leader of the boys dunking Pony Boy. He did not do it with intent but with a natural impulse.
"Johnny had a blank, tough look on his face-you'd have had to know him to see the panic in his eyes."(55)
In consideration of person versus society I look at the environment where the boys who were Greasers lived. It was an environment of low income and limited opportunities. The boys were considered to be outside of society. They were the kids on the other side of the railroad tracks who were expected to be juvenile delinquents. This expectation is evident when the newspaper runs a story following Johnnie and Pony Boy's rescue of the children from the church fire.
The internal person versus the external person is the conflict that Pony Boy feels when he begins to realize that he has choices to make. He can continue on to behave in violent ways or he can change. Johnny leaves him a letter telling him that it is not to late. Pony Boy has been given an assignment by the English teacher and he debates whether to complete it or not. Once he reads the letter his internal self that is an A student and very different from the Greasers, his external self, takes over and he picks up the pen to share his story and the story of the boys in his community.
"You still have a lot of time to make yourself be what you want." (179)
"I sat down and picked up my pen and thought for a minute. Remembering."(179)

text: My college prof posed this question. Would you rather be the best in your area at your business but be perceived below average or be below average but be perceived to be the best? The obvious answer was that perception was more important than reality (profit wise). TGCL comes to mind 25 years later. Joe Lawnowner only knows two things..."Is my lawn dark green" and do I have any weeds. TGCL gets a quick green up with the high nitrogen they spray and liquids do a good job with weed control. There problems are well chronicled on this site and I agree but the public's perception is uneducated. You can try to educate them with newsletters but I sometimes wonder what percentage of our clients read our words of wisdom when it comes with a bill. Any comments?

Reynolds stresses not converging!
I am having a problem trying to get the Reynolds stresses to converge in a problem which is modelling the flow of an incompressible fluid.
All they are doing is oscillating.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Re: Reynolds stresses not converging!
my friend u will have a lot problem with this model. u can have very good results by others models in compressible flow. if u have to work with this model at first u must use other models and at last use this model.
Re: Reynolds stresses not converging!
I don't know what is your case but, here I go. First try to use a first order differencing scheme (UPWIND) for all variables with false timestepping (if you're running on steady state). Relaxation factors are also something to take care. Are you using a commercial or your own code?
Good luck, cfd guy

New week...New Design
Now on to the important stuff...
I am so excited for the reveal of the new blog design. Keely from luxe + lillies did an awesome job taking my ideas and adding her own tips. I wanted to stick with the chevron theme which was inspired by my business cards shown here.
I am glad to finally have social media buttons that will direct you to the Travels in Heels Facebook page, twitter feed. I have also included an email button and would love to hear from you.
What was your favorite Super Bowl commercial?

Premium Lawn Care Program
This program is our recommendation for most lawns as it is a proactive approach to lawn care needs. This six-visit program consists of the typical materials any lawn will need relating to Organic-Based Fertilization, Weed Control, Crabgrass Control, Surface Insect Control, Grub Control, and Nutsedge control.
Premium Lawn Care Visits include:
- Visit 1: Fertilizer & Pre-emergent Crabgrass Control
- Visit 2: Fertilizer, Pre-emergent Crabgrass Control, Broadleaf Weed Control, Preventative Grub Control, Surface-feeding Insect Control
- Visit 3: Spot-Treatment for Broadleaf Weeds, Nutsedge, and Post-emergent Crabgrass Control
- Visit 4: Maintenenance Rate of Limestone, Spot-Treatment for Broadleaf Weeds, Nutsedge, and Post-emergent Crabgrass Control
- Visit 5: Fertilizer & Broadleaf Weed Control
- Visit 6: Winterizer Fertilizer
Premium Lawn Care Guarantee: Our PLC Program guarantees control of your Broadleaf Weeds, Nutsedge, Crabgrass, Grubs and Lawn Insects. We will return to spot treat for any of the above at no charge. We will repair any parts of your lawn damaged by grub activity. We cannot guarantee against damage caused by fungus (disease) or drought.
These programs automatically continue each year unless we are notified in advance.
We understand it can be difficult to compare lawn care programs from different lawn care service providers. Just because a company packages their program as a "Six-Visit" program, doesn't mean it includes all the things that are in another company's program. Learn how to compare lawn care companies and lawn care programs.
We strive to deliver consistent, quality lawn care service applications on every visit to your property. To do this, we stay up to date on the cutting edge materials in our industry, test them to find the ones that work the best, and put quality people on your property to perform the service. It's not just enough for us to have bare-minimum training for our lawn care technicians. We want them to be experts so we insist they go beyond the state minimum requirements to treat a lawn. Pennsylvania only requires a lawn care technician to be a "Registered Technician". We go a step beyond that and make sure they are a "Licensed Technician". In most cases, our lawn care technicians have even completed additional training programs such as Landscape Industry Certified Lawn Care Technician. They aren't there to just apply materials to your lawn. They are there to inspect, properly diagnose whatever issues you may have, and treat accordingly or leave recommendations. You deserve the best. That's what we aim to give you. Find out why the folks at Tomlinson Bomberger are the Lawn Care Experts.

Ok, so I'm not going to tell you my exact age but I will admit that I'm at an age where I have to start thinking about the health of my bones and joints. Yup, the old joints are stiffening up on me 🙁 It is well documented that oily fish helps to reduce swollen joints, pain and stiffness so I try to eat at least two portions a week. One of my favourite lunch snacks is this smoked mackerel pate. It takes a few minutes to put together and keeps well in the fridge for a good few days. Served with toast, crackers or oatcakes it makes a delicious snack packed full of healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
One problem though – it is hard to stop eating it. Enjoy!
- 4 medium smoked mackerel fillets (200g)
- 150g cream cheese
- finely grated zest and juice of ½ lemon
- 1 tblsp horseradish cream
- Remove the skin and any bones from the cooked mackerel.
- Add all the ingredients to a food processor or mini blender and whizz together until smooth.
- Cover and refrigerate until required.
- Serve with hot toast and wedges of lemon.

Money stolen. I bought this app about a year ago while it was still in development. I booted it up recently to mess around in it because I was bored, and I was very displeased to find ads for a second game that cost money on top of the game itself not working. Whenever I start a new game the screen goes blank and white. So the dev broke the first game and made a second game that's much better graphically and content-wise, and then he puts ads for it in his broken game. I want a refund or the second game for free.

Where is the D pad?? Fun game... but latest update for dug deeper part of the game is not user friendly. The controls are horrible and hate having to shuffle through all items to find the one I want. The new part of the game needs to have GU reworked. Would be nice to have a D pad and more control over the miner instead of only being able to moving one space at a time.

Bought this a long time ago, been on every phone and tab since. The BEST FUN EVAR This is one of the BEST, most fun and well balanced spellunker/miner/adventurer with upgradability games on the market STILL. Just want cloud gamesave backup so I can carry my character along everytime I change my device (which is often, cuz I'm super hard to please with phones and tabs. Been through 9 devices in past two years!) Love it! Can't wait to try GM2

Bugs 1) remove support under rock - OK, remove ladder under rock - boom 2) when building long lifts (2 or, more in,a row) each one puts a rock under, so when there is allready lift there its blocked, and you have to build again. 3) rock under lift can fall leaving gap 4) building longer lift after upgraded makes unupgraded lift, so need upgrade again. 5) cannon make bridge over lift gap. 6) removing bridge makes u fall down 7) lift should stop on the stations when you click away, not anywhere. 8) cannot dig without moving 9) removing long ladder 6 or more, not all ladders fall, making impossible take it all 10) no way see discoveredu minerals cost

Really? Toyed with the idea of buying this app for some time and having decided to pay for it was met IMMEDIATELY after opening it by an advertisement to spend even more on another version of the same game. NOT IMPRESSED :((((((((((((

Great game It would be 5 stars but the screen can't be flipped, so the headphone jack is always in my way. Note 3

Freakin' awesome Totally worth the money. Played the free version for a few months..and i've now had the paid version for about a 3 years now. This is one of the most played games on any phone I have! Totally addicting, will lose hours in the blink of an eye. Not pushy about in-app purchases AT ALL, either... which is AH-MAZ-ING!!! Would give it 6 stars if I could!

Great Game Plays great on my Galaxy Nexus. Had it since my Droid days. Looking forward to the second one.

Not working properly on S3 Used to work great on my HTC Desire. But now on my S3 it will randomly exit a game and jump back to the menu screen and loose all current progress. Getting very annoying.

Check for clashes before negative rating Was constantly crashing on TF101 when using map. have factory reset and reloaded, nil issues, love the program.

Love this game Never had any problems, is challenging and highly addictive. I wish that the sequel was simply a repeat of this formula but with different maps and materials with new effects-- instead of an entirely new thing with a similar theme. Still love the original!!

Great But no update for a long time... Does have ads for a new, more expensive version though.

Its great Its a great game but I've gotten to the point in the game where I've hit the bottom and I can't dig any deeper. I think they should have an update where either there is no limit on how fat you can build or where they just make the limit larger. If they did that I would have given five stars

Great game When I am bored or need something to do it can consume you

Give me my mony back It sucked it was bad all around I HATE IT
Jewel Bennett
Brilliant game Love this game keeps me occupied for hours. The only thing is that I wish I could save where I am on Google so I can play it on more than one device.
