Is colon hydrotherapy safe?
Yes. All the equipment that comes into contact with the patient is disposable. Water pressure is very low, and pre-filtered. Colon hydrotherapy is not habit-forming, unlike laxatives, and actually improves muscle tone.
What is involved?
Filtered water is slowly introduced under gentle gravitational pressure, through the rectum and into the colon. Aided by massage and breathing techniques, the water begins to soften and cleanse the colon, resulting in faecal matter and old deposits being washed away with all the waste water. The therapist works progressively around the structure of the colon, allowing water to alternatively flow in and release.
Herbal preparations may be used for certain conditions and regular colon implants of lactobacillus acidophilus are given to assure normalisation of bowel fibre.
We will preserve the modesty of the patient to the utmost during the process.
How long will a treatment take?
The whole process takes around an hour and a half.
Who can benefit from colon hydrotherapy?
Is there any preparation?
No special measures are necessary prior to treatment, although results may be more rapidly achieved by following a colon cleansing programme.
What results can I expect?
Most people quickly experience improved mental clarity after treatment. Toxic loads are diminished and elimination improved. A greater feeling of well-being and lightness is felt.
Obvious relief from constipation, bloating, toxic headaches, painful haemorrhoids and skin problems.
In the long term, bowel disease risk is lessened and nutrients are better absorbed, leading to improved all round health.
How many treatments should I have?
This will be dependent upon the condition being treated, the individual and the initial results.
It takes 3 - 4 treatments to cleanse the colon, depending on the condition. We can recommend 6 to 12 treatments over a one or two month period, as a lifetimes build up of deposits cannot be removed in one or two irrigations only.
Following the course, it is a good idea to have a treatment every three to six months to maintain? cleanliness and good elimination. You will be given professional advice on diet and nutrition to suit your individual needs.
Cancellation Policy?
I realise that sometimes, cancellations cannot be avoided, however, I do ask that you give at least 48 hours notice should you need to cancel this must be done by phone and not text. The full treatment fee will be charged if you do not give 48 hours notice.

Registration is under way for the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association's (RVIA) next Trouble Shooter Clinic, scheduled for Feb. 27-March 1 in South Bend, Ind. According to a press release, this is the second clinic featuring the revised format with tracks covering Foundation, Chassis, Power Sources and Appliances.
"The new tracks offer more for the experienced technician", says RVIA's Sharonne Lee, director of technical information. "Enrollment in the new tracks is limited and certified technicians are encouraged to sign up before all of the seats are taken. Certified technicians get more hands-on and diagnostic experience with the new tracks. Tracks are taken independently, and technicians can now get training suited to their individual needs, rather than having to take the one size fits all approach. Another benefit is the tracks make it possible for technicians to be away from the shop for a shorter period of time and provide continuing education credits for recertification."
Following is a synopsis of what will be covered in each track. Attendance to the Chassis, Power Sources or Appliance track requires the technician to be certified or have previously attended the Foundation Track.

Tahoe Park Real Estate
Tahoe Park is a flourishing neighborhood in Central Sacramento. It is considered more middle class, yet eclectic and colorful, compared to other upscale neighborhoods, but it's quickly growing in prominence. What it lacks in wealth though, it makes up for in personality, character and amity.
The area is defined by the 19-acre Tahoe Park, which houses a swimming pool and wading pool, playgrounds, horseshoe pit, lighted softball/soccer field, and basketball and volleyball courts. A dedicated homeowners association has made the park the focal point of the community. Residents now come out regularly for the Tahoe Park Starlight Movie Series, concerts in the park, and numerous food truck events (newcomers to the Sacramento area will quickly learn how these mobile culinary delights have developed a faithful league of foodie followers).
The association keeps its neighborhood cohesive by building community spirit and social responsibility with food and clothing drives. There's also a holiday mixer and spring bowling tournament.
Tahoe Park is home to several noteworthy eateries. Café Lumiere offers more than a dozen different croissants with specialty coffees, along with a delectable breakfast and lunch menu. MoMo's Meat Market, is probably best known for its spare ribs, tri tip and chicken, but as Sacramento writer Allen Pierleoni also notes it's also a "social scene for neighbors who come for the 'cue and the camaraderie."
Area residents' affinity for all things good is attracting more businesses to the area, as midtown's famous Bacon and Butter is set to bring its seasonal "scratch-made" meals to the corner of 59th and Broadway the summer of 2014.

GOP govs move on health exchanges
A small but growing number of prominent, Republican governors — including Mitch Daniels and Haley Barbour — are taking the lead to shape a key component of the health care overhaul their party fought so hard to kill.
It's a delicate balancing act for Republicans who, on the one hand, oppose federal health reform, even challenging its constitutionality in federal court, and, on the other hand, are pragmatically trying to control as much of the implementation process as they can.
Story Continued Below
In Indiana, Gov. Mitch Daniels issued an executive order that allowed the state to become one of just three to receive a multimillion dollar grant to establish a health exchange, the online insurance marketplaces that all states must eventually have if the reform law stands up in court.
Wisconsin, under the leadership of Gov. Scott Walker, is one of six states to win an Early Innovator grant. While the grant was received under Walker's predecessor, Gov. Jim Doyle, Walker has continued to use the resource, setting up the Office of Free Market Health Care that has prominently advertised its innovator status.
And in a weird twist of politics in Mississippi, state agencies of Gov. Haley Barbour have relied on little-used statutory authorities to set up an exchange, reviving a Democratic-sponsored effort to do so through the Mississippi State Legislature.
Daniels, Walker and Barbour are a stark contrast to Republican governors who are more stridently opposed to all aspects of health reform. Govs. Rick Scott of Florida, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, and Susana Martinez of New Mexico have come out in fierce opposition of any kind of implementation.
Scott and Jindal have also shunned federal money to plan their exchanges.
"The Rick Scotts of the world are probably going to be in the minority," says one Republican health policy source, referring to the Florida governor's halting health reform implementation. "The ones that block it fundamentally have a disagreement or it fits into a broader political calculus."
Many strategists in D.C. contend that setting up the exchanges undermines Republicans' constitutional challenges to the health reform law.
But having a handful of prominent Republican governors move forward on the issue — two of whom weighed presidential runs — suggests that the exchanges could emerge as one of the more palatable provisions of the contentious law.
And still other Republican governors, with smaller national profiles, have also endorsed implementing state-run health exchanges.They include Nevada's Brian Sandoval, who is backing an exchange implementation bill in the Nevada State Legislature, Georgia's Nathan Deal and Virginia's Bob McDonnell.
"The big picture is that, while there's an ideological divide, many governors see the exchange as an empty vessel they can shape in their own image," says Ian Morrison, an independent health policy consultant in California. "Republican governors like the idea of more commercial insurance."
Another crucial factor at play: If states don't set up their own exchanges by 2014, the federal government will come in and do it for them.

- This is going to sound really weird, but I never had a desire to be famous. I never had huge ambitions — never.
- I often look at women who wear great jeans and high heels and nice little T-shirts wandering around the city and I think, I should make more of an effort. I should look like that. But then I think, They can't be happy in those heels.
- I need to be looked after. I'm not talking about diamond rings and nice restaurants and fancy stuff—in fact, that makes me uncomfortable. I didn't grow up with it and it's not me, you know. But I need someone to say to me, 'Shall I run you a bath?' or 'Let's go to the pub, just us.'

It's easy to find a Florida hotel geared towards family vacations as there is an abundance of family-themed attractions near the center of the state. There are as many beaches as there are theme parks, so the travel scene is overflowing with beachfront resorts providing immediate or short-distance access to the water. Luckily, the weather permits such travel throughout the year.
Florida is a great year-round vacation destination, but some areas are easier to enjoy during certain seasons. Most of the biggest attractions are open at nearly all times of the year, and this offers respite for those looking to escape the frigid temperatures of the northern winter. In many locations around the state, you can find locals and travelers flocking to the beach even during the holiday season.
It may be cooler in North Florida during the winter, but popular South Florida is always warm and sunny. Theme parks and hotels feature water activities including slides, pools, and rides that can still be enjoyed. Near the ocean, visitors can take part in sports such as snorkeling, diving, and surfing.
Visiting Florida during colder months presents its own benefits as well. Many hotels in Florida are less likely to be crowded due to the cooler weather or lack of family vacationers during the school year. Prices may be lower due to this decreased demand as well.

There are parks and attractions for all kinds of tastes, such as Disney World®, Sea World®, and Universal Orlando®. Everglades National Park offers visitors the opportunity to experience one of the most treasured ecosystems in Florida.
The Florida Keys offer an even more peaceful and secluded getaway, and you may even get to try authentic Key Lime pie if you stay long enough. Also in south Florida is a significant Hispanic population. In Miami and the surrounding areas, you can sample Latin cuisine from a variety of national influences or take part in periodic cultural festivals.

How to Do the Cobra Pose in Yoga
The cobra posture is a common Yoga back bend. When you perform the cobra, you stretch the front of the torso and the spine. Take a deep inhalation and notice how your torso and spine naturally extend during this opening phase of the breathing cycle, inviting you to bend backwards.
The two cobra postures presented here vary only in the level of difficulty. The Cobra I emphasizes the upper back and is easier than the Cobra II. When doing either cobra posture, the farther forward you move your hands, the less difficult the cobra is; if you move your hands farther back, you increase the difficulty.
To make these postures easier, place a small pillow or a folded blanket underneath you between your abdomen and your chest. You can move the blanket a little forward or backward to suit your needs.
When you lie face down on the floor, raise your chest and head, and use your arms in some fashion, you're doing some form of the cobra posture.
Move slowly and cautiously in the cobra postures. Avoid any of the postures that cause pain in your lower back, upper back, or neck.
Cobra I
The cobra posture increases the flexibility and strength of the muscles of the arms, chest, shoulders, and back. Cobra I especially emphasizes the upper back. The cobra opens the chest, increases lung capacity, and stimulates the kidneys and the adrenals.
This first cobra posture is also called The Sphinx. It's a variation of of bhujangasana, described in the next section. To do this first version of the cobra, follow these steps:
Lie on your abdomen with your legs spread at hip width and the tops of your feet on the floor.
Rest your forehead on the floor and relax your shoulders; bend your elbows and place your forearms on the floor with your palms turned down and positioned near the sides of your head (see Figure A).Credit: Photographs by Adam Latham
As you inhale, engage your back muscles, press your forearms against the floor, and raise your chest and head.
Look straight ahead, as shown in Figure B. Keep your forearms and the front of your pelvis on the floor, being mindful of relaxing your shoulders.
As you exhale, lower your torso and head slowly back to the floor.
Repeat Steps 3 and 4 three times and then stay in Step 3 (the last raised position) for six to eight breaths.
If you have lower back problems, separate your legs wider than your hips and let your heels turn out and your toes turn in.
Cobra II: Bhujangasana
This posture rewards you with most of the same benefits as the Cobra I. In addition, the Cobra II emphasizes flexibility in your lower back. The following steps walk you through the Cobra II:
Lie on your abdomen with your legs spread at hip width and the tops of your feet on the floor.
Bend your elbows and place your palms on the floor with your thumbs near your armpits.
Rest your forehead on the floor and relax your shoulders, as shown in Figure A.Credit: Photographs by Adam Latham
As you inhale, press your palms against the floor, engage your back muscles, and raise your chest and head.
Look straight ahead (see Figure B). Keep the top front of your pelvis on the floor and your shoulders relaxed. Unless you're very flexible, keep your elbows slightly bent.
As you exhale, lower your torso and head slowly back to the floor.
Repeat Steps 3 and 4 three times and then stay in Step 3 (the last raised position) for six to eight breaths.

The AllSides Media Bias RatingTM reflects the average judgment of the American people. We don't use a convoluted mathematical or artificial intelligence model, but instead have regular people representing the broad spectrum of Americans blindly rate the bias of articles. That produces a fair, verifiable bias rating.
This media bias rating was determined using the following levels of bias verification.

So, back to the lady's question. As we were locating the titles she needed (ILL requests have to have a title, not just a county plus "newspaper" in the title field), she produced a heavy sigh and asked if we would ever put these microfilmed newspapers online instead of having to go through all this each time - and she was in a location that allowed free loans - which speaks to the limitations of microfilm.
I told her we were certainly working on it, and tried to explain that transferring microfilm to digital images was very possible, being accomplished as we spoke, but would take many years, and many sources of funding to accomplish - and that's just on behalf of one state. We all are well aware of the LDS Library's efforts at digitizing their collection in Utah, but as a small state with limited resources, I thought it would be helpful to showcase a few online sources already up for those of you interested in Kentucky Newspaper research. Many of these new resources have been possible through nationally funded grants - but the process put in place, and the wonderful images produced will hopefully serve to secure more funding to keep the projects going.Links to Kentucky Newspapers online:
- The National Digital Newspaper Program: Kentucky Edition - Full of links to their digitized collection as well as a wonderful explanation of how the leap from microfilm to digital is being made.
- Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers - This is where the NDNP digitized Kentucky newspapers are deposited for access. This one is not just for Kentucky, but houses the images produced by other state recipients of the project grant. The images can be explored, cut, saved as images or pdfs - primed and ready for hardcore research!
- Kentuckiana Digital Library - Statewide effort of fully searchable digitized issues not housed in the Chronicling America database. Of course, the Kentuckiana Digital Library is also known for its amazing photographic collection that grows each year.
For Microfilm:
Microfilm Ordering Database from the University of Kentucky - Just in case you would like a fairly complete list of the available Kentucky Newspapers on Microfilm - browsable by county and listed chronologically. This list is for PURCHASING reels of microfilm - that's right, you could own your own copy if you get the urge, but despite its original purpose, it is a wonderful resource for just browsing available newspaper titles - we use it a lot when helping patrons decide which title to order via ILL.
Since I'm not one of the digital experts, here is a video about newspaper digitization efforts at the University of Kentucky.

How do we improve personal productivity at work? Recall that personal productivity is an equation of Me, You and Situation? We want to work on the Me factor. Personal productivity starts from the individual's awareness or as we term it Personal Awareness. Personal Awareness is based on how our mental model works. Your mental model setups mental boundaries, predict the outcome or process of work. Our personal awareness (surrounding the Me) can be characterized into four quadrants.
"I know what I can do" – The most preferred quadrant. Individuals of this quadrant know what they are doing. Know who, what, where, when and how they can do to achieve their objectives. Usually they are confident individuals that are able to predict the outcome.
"I know what I cannot do" – Usually paired together with individuals of "I know what I can do"; Individuals are conscious of their limit of their abilities. This is important as they can identify which type of work is suitable for them and which are above their abilities.
"I do not know what I can do" – Individuals fail to recognize their fullest potential. Their superiors may have identified their untapped potentials but always stumble with the unwillingness of the individual to unleash them. Usually these individuals are resistance to change.
"I do not know what I cannot do" – Ignorance is not a blessing here. Individuals that fall into this quadrant are usually ignorant and over-confident. They fail to see what they can't perform and usually get themselves into trouble.
Personal productivity starts from understanding your personal awareness. In the four quadrants, by knowing where you are, you can estimate your effort in a task, the time frame committed, the boundaries you are working in, or even further improve personal productivity. Personal productivity is not merely the personal aspect but it can also be achieved at the situational aspect where for example, you are aware of how much effort is required in performing a certain task in a particular situation.
Of course, there is no one straight cut to a specific quadrant. There can be combinations of quadrant and they can deviate in different situations. Now look back the past events that happened at work. Which of the quadrants do you feel you best relate to in how you are aware of yourself and the situation? Were you able to identify that you were able to optimize personal productivity if you were being more aware of yourself or the situation? Have a thought about it! 😉

Everybody's Luck Runs Slim Now & Again - A My Town Monday Post
the same for the last fifty years. Every time
some women gets pregnant a guy leaves town."
"You can shear a sheep many times, but you
can only skin him once."
"Nobody is always a winner and anybody
who says he is, is either a liar or doesn't play
"They anticipate losing when they sit down
and I try my darndest not to disappoint one
of them."
Those are all quotes from Amarillo Slim, one of the greatest poker players and speculation gamblers to ever live.
Amarillo Slim won the main event of the No Limit Texas Hold'Em World Series of Poker back in 1972 and has appeared in movies, and a variety of television shows. Next year a movie about his life is supposed to come out with Nicholas Cage starring as the gambler.
Gamblers tend to be motivated by one of two things, cold hard cash, or fame. I've never met the man, but if I was guessing I'd say Amarillo Slim revels in both. I have seen Mr. Preston out and about on a few locations including a pool hall that he once owned and still bears his name. He's tall lanky, and nearly always wearing a light colored cowboy hat. His reputation as a truth stretcher and story teller is widely known, yet in gambling circles he is commonly referred to as the best spokesman the game of poker has ever known.
Lots of men have won the World Series of Poker and they haven't appeared on The Tonight Show, Good Morning America or had entire movies made about them. So what separates Amarillo Slim fro the pack. What forced his repuation?
Here's a list of his reported gambling accomplishments.
Slim once beat Minnesota Fats using a broomstick as his cue. He bested Evel Knievel in a round of golf using only a carpenters hammer. He bet and won that he could outrun famous thoroughbred Seabiscuit for a hundred yards. (He never said it would be a straight one hundred yards. He boasted and wagered he could drive a golf ball at least a mile. (Which he did on a frozen lake." Willie Nelson reportedly lost $300,00 grand to him playing dominoes. He beat Bobby Riggs at ping-pong using an iron skillet as his paddle. Slim earned 31,000 grand from Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder by rafting down The River of No Return in the dead of winter. He accepted a cash laden dare to ride a camel ride through the middle of Moroccos' fanciest casino. And he took over a million dollars in a highly publicized poker game against Larry Flynt.
The details of all those tales and more are in his book titles, Amarillo Slim in a World Full of Fat People.
But like most gambler Slim hasn't always came up a winner. While in Columbia for the opening of a casino he was once kidnapped by some henchman of infamous drug lord Pablo Escobar, but was eventually released unharmed. He's said himself he's been rich one day and broke the next. A few years back someone fired three shots at his car while he was driving, and along about the same time, he came home and interrupted a couple of robbers in his hose who held him at gunpoint with his own shotguns while they pillaged his house.
And, a fact that I'm sure Hollywood will overlook in their tale of his life, Amarillo Slim, whose real name is Thomas Preston Jr., was charged with 3 felony accounts of improperly touching a minor child. As I recall the girl was twelve or thirteen and somehow related to him. The charge were eventually reduced in a plea bargain. His wife divorced him during the same time period.
So the man is without a doubt colorful, one hell of a gambler, and a legend in pool halls and poker rooms, but hustling money from the naive and rich is one thing, molesting a child another, and while the first makes you a memorable character the latter is despicable.
I can't say for certain what he did or didn't do, but being as how he didn't fight the charges and accepted a deal which placed him on the list as a registered sex offender I can only say his image is severely tarnished in my opinion. I would think a gambler would take his chances in court, unless he knew he was guilt, and while I'm sure any tale about his adventurous life will be entertaining, here's hoping Hollywood doesn't portray him as some kind of Vegas-esque Robin Hood figure who took from the rich for noble reasons.

Oooooh Travis, when you learn about personality disorders you realize that there's more operating with this guy than just a need for dough and fame. Many people want those things but they don't necessarily resort to such risky and criminal behavior.
I wasn't surprised at all to learn about the bad stuff he did. It fits with the rest of his accomplishments.
Of course it's that very behavior that made him ideal for Hollywood.
Hope you're feeling better. Glad to see you're able to keep up with the demands of being the My Town boss.

Sorry to hear about Amarillo Slim's misdeeds, but he was never my favorite poker player. Of the old guard, I prefer Doyle Brunson (and if he's got nasties in his past, don't tell me). My favorite, though, is Daniel Negreanu.
Thanks for sharing. Even though I don't always comment, I enjoy reading your Monday posts. =o)

|Merritt and Maude Agard with the Hutch
This hutch belonged to my grandparents, Merritt and Maude Agard. I don't know when it was purchased, but suspect it might have been after their new home overlooking Cayuga Lake was built in the mid-1950s. Since then the hutch has stood sentinel over hundreds of family gatherings where delicious dinners were lovingly served and enjoyed.
It is not an expensive piece of furniture, but it is one of my most treasured family heirlooms. When my grandmother passed away in 1996 the hutch came to reside with me in Newfield, NY. Within a year it was moved to watch over us in Newtown, Connecticut, and now it is in storage awaiting its new home in Fredericksburg, VA. I have picked out just the right spot for the hutch, and it will enjoy a new responsibility of housing our daily use dishes and casseroles. Can't wait!

Rays Tidbits
The Trivia question for today is for my die hard Red Sox's Nation fans.
Who's spirit is said to haunt the stands and press box of Fenway Park?
Here is a hint, the current voice of the Sox, Carl Beane, is known to voice a few commonly used lines from this deceased, and beloved announcer every game . The answer will be at the bottom of the blog.
It has just been reported to me from the Rays coconut telegraph that the Rays have inquired about a player from the Atlanta Braves. The player being discussed is third baseman Wily Aybar. Wily was acquired by the Braves in the Dany Baez trade a few years ago from the LA Dodgers', and has had a few off- field situations for the organization.
Is this might be an insurance policy for the Rays concerning top prospect Evan Longoria. I thought the Rays were set with either Longoria manning the 5-hole or ultra 3b/1b power maven Joel Guzman helping to fill the power gap and base duties until Longoria hit the big time.
Guess the Rays think that they might need another project player who has had situations with the MLB substance abuse system and has left hot-lanta for help from relatives in Boston, without the Braves knowing this beforehand. Guess we need to have a charitable situation on every roster to remind us why free agents do not flock here to the rain-less confines of the Trop.
Granted, Aybar has power and a great glove. He is young( 24), and has a huge upside. But unlike Matt Garza, his upside comes with some baggage that we just traded off to the Washington Nationals. Unlike Dukes, there is no ex-wife or court battles lingering in his future, past or present. Abyar has tried to show that his wrist injury and situation are behind him. In Winter Ball in the Dominican Republic, playing for top team Licey, he compiled a .339 average and a .415 OPS in 15 games. 15 games is not the rigors of Spring Training or a 162 game season, but it does give insight to his health and the condition he is in this off season.
Let's hope the Rays decide to gamble and let Longoria start at third this Spring Training without a upshot prospect looking over his back wanting his position. Let's hope this team has finally taken the high road and can rely on it's intuition more about it's players and their potential. We have a great scouting system that has shown us we have a great knack for talent in our past and in the players coming through the system.
I have a few websites on my Bookmarks that show prospects and MLB trade rumors concerning all baseballs current players. The one I like to visit every day is http://www.MLBTraderumors.com. I am thinking about asking them if they need a correspondent to do the upcoming season from a field-side aspect for the Rays. I have done this before for a newspaper, and during the year for a blob on MLB.com, but never on a daily basis with an emphasis on just one team or segment.
Another writer that has my interest is Eric SanInocencio from Rays Anatomy. He compels me more because he is based out of Birmingham ,Alabama and has a great sense of the Rays and their system. You got to remember that Birmingham is the town that gave you the Michael Jordan experience in the Minor Leagues, and is a hot bed for college and minor league baseball. He is very insightful and genuinely frank about our squad and the upcoming season. Please check it out, and if it is in your type of writing, and you like his style, bookmark him and check in daily, weekly or monthly if that is your thing.
I was hitting Rays Anatomy the other day, and saw a article about the Top 20 prospects in baseball. A few are already up in the MLB with short stints in September,2007 , like the Yankees' Joba Chamberlain.
The Rays had 5 members in that Top 20 list. The second best prospect was, of course, Evan Longoria. David Price was listed at number 4, but he has not pitched since the NCAA Regional last year and is predicted to make a fast upward move if his stuff is still there this spring. Price has the confidence and the gentle cockiness to know he can survive the MLB hitters and be a great starter for the Rays. I think this kid is the real thing and can be the hidden talent that James Shields showed us a few years ago. He has three pitches that are MLB quality right now.
The thing is, he might need until July to get the rust out and get that command back where he is a threat every time he hits the rubber for the Rays. A lot of news organizations have the Rays contending in 2011 for a AL East crown. If that is the truth, the list of players mentioned in third blog will be the heart and soul of the rotation and lineup in that time period.
Reid Brignac is out future in the SS hole. I have no doubts about this guy after meeting him and seeing a short highlights film on him in the Minors last year. He as slick at the plate as he is in the field. Smooth, rhythmic and poised to be a power hitter in the bottom of the order for the Rays. He is being nurtured slowly in the minors to develop fully before even hitting the Trop's infield.
I will go on record as saying, that I was hoping B J Upton would get another shot here before Reid was brought up, but he is making a huge improvement in the off season in Centerfield, and should be an All-Star in the near future with his speed and agility.
Wade Davis and Jacob McGee.
Well, to start, they were impressive at Gulf Coast League,Vero Beach last year before hitting the SW Michigan Rays squad, and have another productive year under their belts They are currently pitching like a duo not seen since Greg Maddox and Tom Glavine. They have the tools and the abilities to be in the starting rotation in the coming years and be great supporting teammates to the guys they came up with in the Minors. They both have a great head on their collective shoulders and will be great influences in the system for a long time.
The last guy I am going to talk a bit about here is someone who is going to probably get a long look-at this Spring Training. I do not think he is going to be on the 25 man roster this spring, but he is coming up the Rays system fast, and will be pressing on the door this year, maybe as early as June or July. John Jaso is a great draft pick who is doing everything asked of him the minors, and is going to get his deserved time this Spring.
Jaso is not even listed in the Top 10 prospects in the Rays system by some people because he has risen so fast behind the plate. He did something this past year that he has not done in prior Minor league seasons in the Rays system. He was healthy.
There are a few people who think that he will start just below the MLB level this year with the Triple-A Durham Bulls. With Dioner Navarro, and Mike De Felice manning the backstop this year, do not be surprised if Jaso get off to a great start, that he broad jumps a few catchers in the system and is sitting in the Bullpen at the Trop by September.
I like Navarro but he has not produced yet to show that high draft pick by the Yankees in the past. This is not to put a curse or hex on the guy. He is a great guy who grew up in the Tampa Bay area, and is a great feel good story for the organization. Dioner will have to keep that great batting streak going that he showed in the second half of the 2007 season to keep the talking to a whisper.
I hope this happens. I like the emotional firestorm that is Mike D, but he does come with some vocal disabilities behind the plate. Now, this is not to mean that he is shy or timid. The exact opposite is true here. Mike has been known to get tossed for his opinions and actions in the past. Just ask the Tigers about his rant a few years ago. But to be totally frank here, it might be the attitude these young pitchers see from a catcher to give them that extra "umph" to push their game to the next level. An emotional catcher, and a vocal leader can fire up a situation faster than striking out the side.
We shall see.
Trivia answer:
It is said that former Red Sox announcer Sherm Feller visits the sox during the home stands and his presence has been felt at the park for a long time. The line that current announcer Carl Beane borrowed from Feller is to say the simple phrase of :"Thank You" after announcing the teams coaches'. He sees it as a tribute to Feller because for many years, it was Feller's style to conclude the lineups in that manor. He also does a opening nightly/daily greeting, "Ladies and Gentleman, boys and girls, Welcome to Fenway Park", just the way the Sherm Feller did all his years at Fenway Park. This adds a sense of history and continued elegance to this storied franchise.
With that, I am gone. It is less than 28 days until Pitchers and Catcher report, and I am giddy as a school kid again. I love the Spring.

Cape Coral City Council has one week to decide what direction it wants to go regarding a proposed fire service assessment.
That may be a tall order after the board stalemated on a variety of options presented during Monday's regular city council meeting at City Hall. The elected board split, with three seemingly in favor of one option, two in favor of another, while two others were opposed to the new levy regardless of option.
The matter was brought as an addendum to Monday's regular city council meeting budget; the council had been asked by City Manager John Szerlag for direction on how to proceed with the fiscal year 2014 budget.
This was necessitated after the city's bond counsel for its controversial fire service assessment, Bryant Miller Olive, revised its opinion regarding the city's plan to tie a property tax decrease with the assessment, essentially a new tax.
The council was presented four options. The first two, which were first presented during the budget workshop last Wednesday, had no millage reduction and 29 percent "cost recovery" for the fire service assessment, and a .25 millage reduction with a 38 percent assessment, Options A and B, respectively.
Those options would produce the $150 per household additional tax levy Szerlag said was essential to obtain the funds needed to make capital improvements, such as pave roads and replace vehicles while also achieving what the city is calling "financial diversity."
The diversification plan called for a new tax on electric bills; a new tax, the assessment, to fund a percentage of operation costs for the fire department; and a property tax reduction, originally 1 mil, or $1 for every $1,000 of assessed valuation.
The plan was to raise $20 million more in tax revenue, with the impact being $150 more per "average" household.
Option C, which Councilmember Derrick Donnell championed at the workshop, had no new fire services assessment while keeping the new public service tax on electric bills.
Option D also had no assessment, but had a .25 millage rate decrease.
Option C would cost an average household $65 more, with Option D producing an estimated $40 more in revenue for the city per household. These options could be implemented in the event to bond validation for the fire assessment is denied.
The last two options lowered the increase in revenue to the city to an estimated $6.7 million and $4.2 million, respectively, each less than the $20 million increase originally proposed.
The final two options would sharply curtail the city's ability to make capital improvements, Szerlag said before bringing up a number of city department heads to tell council exactly what they were.
IT director John MacLean said nearly everything in the department needed to be replaced.
"If any switches go out, it will mean down time. We need about $1.2 million in new equipment, $800,000 of which is critical," MacLean said.
Meanwhile, the police department reported that 253 out of 330 cars are model year 2006 or older, with 28 having more than 100,000 miles on them, with one having at least 140,000 miles.
During council comment, things got a little heated, even after Donnell apologized for an outburst Wednesday.
For one, council couldn't get a consensus. Half the council was in favor of Option B, though one member, Marty McClain, was absent.
"If the validation fails, we have Option B dictated to us. We can't wait any longer. If we don't fix this, we'll have blight," Councilmember Kevin McGrail said. "To delay is to play chicken needlessly."
However, Option C had its supporters in Donnell and Rana Erbrick, who said with validation coming late anyway, delivering diversification a year later won't necessarily bankrupt the city.
However, those two camps found common ground in its disdain for the third camp, the Mayor John Sullivan and Chris Chulakes-Leetz position, which, from the beginning, has been opposed to any tax increase.
"For four years, how do you think we should solve the infrastructure problem? What's your solution?" Councilmember John Carioscia said.
"You have to make a choice or we have a deadlock. A, B, C, or D? Put your big boy pants on," Erbrick said.
"I choose option E and we don't raise taxes," Sullivan answered. "Adding taxes will hurt the economy. Many people are still out of work or underemployed."
"I can't choose an option for something I didn't support. To do that would be hypocritical. I need to be consistent," Chulakes-Leetz said.
Erbrick said Monday night has been a synopsis of the last two years on council and that the event of last week made Wednesday's workshop not a real workshop.
"Unfortunately, we have a mayor who doesn't know how a real workshop works. We should have discussed this then," Erbrick said. "Again, it's up to the six of us to do our best to fix it because we have two who don't want to fix the woes of the city."
"We have four who support Option B. I can certainly advance it and I can give council a supplemental sheet if they want to modify the numbers," Szerlag said. "That would incorporate the $65 PST and a $110 FSA because it would also have the quarter mil reduction, effective immediately."
The council could get real time solutions when the ordinance and resolution will go to a final vote next Monday. Bryant Miller Olive and Burton & Associates are expected to attend.

Have iPads replaced conversation at the dinner table? What do infants observe when their parents are on their smartphones? Should you be your child's Facebook friend? As the focus of family has turned to the glow of the screen, children constantly texting their friends, parents working online around the clock, everyday life is undergoing a massive transformation. Easy availability to the Internet and social media has erased the boundaries that protect children from the unsavory aspects of adult life. Parents often feel they are losing a meaningful connection with their children. Children are feeling lonely and alienated. The digital world is here to stay, but what are families losing with technology's gain? As the author, a clinical psychologist, explains, families are in crisis around this issue, and even more so than they realize. Not only do chronic tech distractions have deep and lasting effects, but children desperately need parents to provide what tech cannot: close, significant interactions with the adults in their lives. Drawing on real-life stories from her clinical work with children and parents, and her consulting work with educators and experts across the country, she offers insights and advice that can help parents achieve greater understanding, authority, and confidence as they come up against the tech revolution unfolding in their living rooms. We all know that deep connection with the people we love means everything to us. It's time to look with fresh eyes and an open mind at the disconnection we are experiencing from our extreme device dependence. It's never too late to put down the iPad and come to the dinner table.

Want to know how to navigate the Victorian Web? Click here.
A Bildungsroman is a novel which concerns itself with the development of a youthful protagonist as he or she matures. It is analogous in many ways to the "Apprenticeship Novel" (the so-called Erziehungsroman) or "Education novel," which explores the youth and young adulthood of a sensitive protagonist who is in search of the meaning of life and the nature of the world.
The terms derive from German literary criticism. Goethe's Wilhelm Meister is the prototypical Apprenticeship novel, but there have been many written in English: Carlyle's Sartor Resartus, which is in part a parody of the genre, Samuel Butler's The Way of All Flesh, James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Dickens's David Copperfield (technically a Kunstleroman, since it deals with the development of a writer), and, of course, Great Expectations.

The gig: John Rogovin, 52, is executive vice president and general counsel for Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. As the top legal eagle for the storied movie and television studio, Rogovin oversees a staff of more than 160 lawyers and is involved in such matters as structuring production deals, copyright issues, contract disputes with talent and fights over intellectual property.
Beltway insider: Born and raised in Washington, Rogovin was a Capitol Hill insider before he could crawl. His father, Mitchell Rogovin, was chief counsel at the Internal Revenue Service in President Johnson's administration and special counsel to the Central Intelligence Agency in the mid-1970s. Although Rogovin knew what his dad did for a living, pronouncing it was another story. "When I was 6 or 7 I used to run around the house saying, 'I want to be a liar just like Daddy,'" Rogovin said, laughing. "He called it 'lawyering.' I thought it was lying."
Cool neighbors: With a hotshot lawyer for a father and neighbors such as investigative journalists Seymour Hersh and Neil Sheehan (whom Mitchell Rogovin represented when the government went after him for his Pentagon Papers series in the New York Times), Rogovin was drawn to debate as a student at the tony preparatory school St. Albans. He also developed a mean game of tennis, which he notes is "the Washington thing to do."
Chip off the old block: After graduating from Columbia University, Rogovin headed below the Mason-Dixon line for law school at the University of Virginia, planning to follow in his father's footsteps. Rogovin said it was "watching him and seeing how excited he was and how tenacious he was" at work that made him want to take the same path.
Go your own way: With law degree in hand, Rogovin returned to Washington with thoughts of joining his father in private practice. But his father had other ideas. "He told me, 'If you are any good you can do better and if you are no good, I don't need you.' That was sort of a formative moment."
Friend of Bill: Rogovin landed at the high-powered law firm of O'Melveny & Myers in the early 1990s. A co-worker's boyfriend was working for Bill Clinton's presidential campaign and hooked Rogovin up with the transition team, which also meant moving to Little Rock, Ark. Not only was there a culture shock, but it also gave Rogovin his first taste of swimming with sharks. "It was something of a brutal environment. There is a saying that the campaign is the time when you try to screw your enemy and the transition is the time when you try to screw your friends."
Halls of Justice: The night before the inauguration, Rogovin got a call from Clinton advisor Harold Ickes wanting to know if he had any interest in working at the Justice Department. He jumped at the chance and eventually became head of the department's Federal Programs Branch, which is basically charged with defending the government against constitutional challenges to federal statutes. Among the highlights: defending the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gay service members and Hillary Clinton's healthcare reform effort.
Revolving door: The next few years Rogovin did the Washington dance between private practice and public service. He left the Justice Department to go back to O'Melveny, where he worked closely with GTE Corp. on the 1996 Telecommunications Act, and then became general counsel of the Federal Communications Commission for four years before going back to private practice. "I wanted to follow in the footsteps of people like [former Secretary of State and O'Melveny partner] Warren Christopher, who went back and forth in that Washington way."
An offer he couldn't refuse: Although Rogovin was quite content working the corridors of power, when Warner Bros. approached him about becoming its general counsel, he jumped at the opportunity. "It was like joining the New York Yankees," he said. The job appealed to him both professionally — "the legal issues facing the content community are the most novel, interesting and exciting" — and personally — "it was a great adventure for us as a family."
Learning curve: Working at a Hollywood studio was a big adjustment. "You know you are in an unusual environment when to find out what's the latest you click on TMZ," he said. But Rogovin caught on fast. His biggest triumphs include beating back a challenge to Warner Bros.' rights to the Superman character and negotiating a peace treaty with Charlie Sheen after the actor was fired from the hit Warner Bros. series "Two and a Half Men." "Nothing could prepare you for that," Rogovin said of the epic Sheen battle.
Off the lot: When he's not sorting through contracts and lawsuits, Rogovin still plays tennis a few times a week. He's also trying his hand at being a chef but warns, "No one would like to eat my cooking." He resides in Bel-Air with his wife, Jaye, and two daughters.

Pac-12 Team Previews: California Golden BearsPosted by KDanna on October 23rd, 2012
Throughout the preseason, the Pac-12 microsite will be rolling out these featured breakdowns of each of the 12 league schools. Today's release is the California Golden Bears.
Strengths: Despite losing two of the team's top four scorers from last year, the Golden Bears have guys who can score at pretty much every position on the floor. It starts on the wing with the smooth Allen Crabbe, who was the last-ever Pac-10 Freshman of the Year in 2010-11. The sharpshooter hit just about 40 percent of his three-point attempts en route to a team-leading 15 points per game. He does well to create his shot and can knock down shots in traffic. He will be fed largely by the dual-threat Justin Cobbs, the Minnesota transfer who led the Golden Bears in assists and three-point field goal percentage (though his sample size wasn't nearly as large as that of Crabbe's). Head coach Mike Montgomery will welcome back forward Richard Solomon to the lineup after missing about 60 percent of last season due to academic problems. A good low-post defender, Solomon's finishing touch and athleticism will go nicely with David Kravish, who provides the Golden Bears with an above-average Pac-12 offensive post threat.
Weaknesses: Replacing the production of Jorge Gutierrez and Harper Kamp might not be a huge issue, but replacing their intensity and toughness could very well be a problem. The Golden Bears limped into and out of the Pac-12 Tournament and NCAA Tournament last year, and Kamp was quick to call his team out for being soft after a loss in the regular season finale to Stanford. When the going gets tough this year, who will the Golden Bears look to as their vocal leader? Gutierrez didn't exactly finish his Cal career that well (he went a combined 3-15 with eight points in his last two regular season games before picking things up slightly in the postseason), but he was still the Pac-12 Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year. That last honor will be what Cal misses most — his defensive toughness and overall "pesty-ness" really gave opposing guards fits. Gutierrez was a wealthy man's Venoy Overton on defense with a much larger skill set on offense. For a team that had trouble stopping much of anyone as the season came to a close (the Golden Bears gave up at least 70 points in four of their final five games after they allowing an average of 61 on the season), perimeter defense could raise some eyebrows in Berkeley.

Perhaps the most significant life lesson I've learned in my young adulthood is that knowing all the answers isn't as important as asking good questions. So every now and then I like to use Fridays to 1) link to other bloggers and writers who have asked compelling questions during the week and 2) open the floor for you to share whatever questions you've been wrestling with lately.
The blogosphere has a way of creating little conversation storms that seem to come out of nowhere and leave everyone talking about them for days. Last week's storm centered around the role of women in the church, home, and society. This week's storm centers around interpretations of Genesis 1-3.
It started brewing when Dr. Albert Mohler, President of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, gave a speech entitled "Why Does the Universe Look So Old?" insisting that Christians must interpret Genesis 1-3 literally and reject the science behind evolutionary theory or else begin the downhill slide to apostacy. He highlighted the BioLogos Foundation Web site as a hub for such apostacy, which of course grabbed my attention, as I've posted there myself and am a big fan of the organization. (The speech sparked responses from Darrel Falk and Karl Giberson)
Meanwhile, over on Scot McKnight's Jesus Creed blog, RJS caused quite a stir by asking readers to respond to a letter from a seminary student who researched the science behind an old earth and evolutionary theory, found it to be sound, and now wrestles with the question, What is the basis for calling the Bible true? Even after 133 comments and a second post on the subject, the conversation continues. (My friend Justin wrote a short, helpful response here.)
Just when it looked like the storm had blown over, Pete Enns wrote an excellent piece for the Huffington Post in which he asks, Does God talk to us through fiction?
And finally, drawing from these conversations, Amanda Mac manages to combine last week's storm with this week's by wisely asking, Might we also be dishonoring the text by demanding that Genesis 1-3 address gender roles?
Lots of good questions. Lots of good comments.
I'm happy to report that the skies are a bit sunnier in Monkey Town, as the book continues to get good reviews. Some highlights from the week include:
Review: Amanda Johnson – Sense and Nonsense-ibility
Interview: Brett McCracken – The Search
Review: Leon Bloder – Prebymergent
Interview: Tim McGreary – To the Tune of Tim
Review: Dianne – Unfinished Work
Review: Michelle – I Don't Believe in Grammar
Review: Tiffany Lucus – The Broken Telegraph
You can read all the reviews here.
So, what questions are you asking this week—on your blog, at your dinner table, in your head, in your heart? Have you been hit by any storms in the blogosphere recently?

Additional Information
Porcelain in its natural form is textured in order for it to have a polished finish the tile needs to be grinded down and then buffed to a highly polished finish, this creates micro pours that will require sealing. All Polished Porcelain tiles sold by Topps Tiles are micro sealed at the factory unless otherwise stated on the box. This sealer will last approximately 12 months providing the correct cleaners are used. In most cases polished porcelain will also have a transit wax on to prevent damage during transportation, this will need to be removed with extra strong residue remover before grouting.
PREPARE: After grouting for an initial clean, use diluted residue remover for honed and polished stone. Allow the residue remover to sit on the tile at least 10 minutes to allow the grout residue to be broken down. The use of an emulsifying pad will aid with removal of grout residue.
CLEAN: To prevent the build up of deposits it is important that the correct cleaner is used, to maintain the tiles we suggest Tile & Stone Cleaner diluted.
Acidic or highly Alkaline cleaners are not recommended for maintenance of this tile as they will damage the life of the sealer .
*PLEASE NOTE: All of our Polished products have a protective micro sealer applied to them during the manufacturing process which protects against staining. This sealer will, depending on usage, last for 12-18 months at which point we recommend reapplying our Polished Protector to ensure that the tiles stay in top condition. Apply 2 coats with either a brush or a roller, allow each coat to dry thoroughly.
For more information on whether specific products will require sealing please speak to a member of store staff or contact us via our Web Chat.
