Sheffield City Council - Electoral Rolls
Sometimes known as Burgess Rolls, in essence, electoral rolls are lists of people that are entitled to vote. Pre-1832 the vote was reserved for owners and occupiers of valuable property. Even after reforms of 1832 and 1835 few working men and no women could vote. (Up to 1867 therefore directories are a better source for the family historian.)

History of the N.U.M. - Sheffield
Under conditions where children as young as four had to face a seventeen-hour day and a six-day week working underground, the District Unions (forerunners of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain and the National Union of Mineworkers) were established to protect the interests and the lives of miners. In the pits of Sheffield there was concerted action in 1792 when colliers employed by the Duke of Norfolk refused to work until their wages were raised. There are many examples of miners' secret organisations taking industrial action. See also more mining references in the UK and Trade Unions of the UK.Sheffield Fire & Police Museum

Perfect Practice for Perfect Push-ups
I received an e-mail from a young lady who aspires to join the military in the next year. Knowing she has a lot of physical fitness tests in her future, she wants some advice on improving her performance of push-ups. She says she has never practiced push-ups the "traditional way," which is what I call the regular push-up as opposed to the knee push-up.
First of all, there is no reason why women cannot do the regular push-up. All it takes is practice. I have several men and women clients who started out doing push-ups on their knees but now can easily do 40 to 50 regular push-ups without stopping to rest. Here are some simple tips and workouts to help you get above-average scores on the PFT.
Proper Full-Body Warm-Up
Get the heart pumping and the arms warmed up by doing the following warm-up (repeat three to five times; it only takes 2 or 3 minutes):
- Jumping jacks, 10
- Push-ups, 10
After warming up, stretch the triceps and chest and shoulders:
Triceps / Shoulders Stretch: Place both arms over and behind your head. Grab your right elbow with your left hand and pull your elbow toward your opposite shoulder. Lean into the pull to also stretch your back/oblique muscles. Switch arms and repeat.
Chest / Shoulders Stretch: Grab onto a bar or wall with one hand, turn and twist so you feel a stretch of the chest and shoulder connection. Pull your shoulders back and stick your chest out. Hold for 15 seconds. Switch arms and repeat.
Techniques and Workouts
Go Fast: For maximum points on the PFT, do the push-ups as quickly as you can. The slower you go, the more gravity will affect your strength. Adhere to proper form however.
Proper Stance: Your hands should be about shoulder width apart. Lie on the floor with your hands even with your shoulders. Too many people place their hands too high or too low, which will weaken your push-ups tremendously.
Stay on Your Toes: Once you burn out, it is OK to go to your knees in order to finish the workout.
The following workouts are taken from the eBooks found at the Military.com Fitness eBook Store. Not only is the super set one of the best ways to increase your push-ups, but while you "rest" your push-up muscles, you can also increase your sit-ups.
Push-Up/Crunch Super Set
Do five to 10 cycles of:
- Regular push-ups, 10
- Regular crunches, 10
- Wide push-ups, 10
- Reverse crunches, 10
- Triceps push-ups, 10
- Left/right crunches, 10 each side
The timed workout is another way to increase your push-ups and sit-ups that also helps prepare you for training with the clock -- good practice for the PFT. Being timed is what leads to most people's PFT anxiety.
Timed Workout
Repeat twice:
- 1 minute of push-ups
- 1 minute of sit-ups
Repeat three times:
- 30 seconds of push-ups
- 30 seconds of sit-ups
Repeat four times:
- 15 seconds of push-ups
- 15 seconds of sit-ups
Try these workouts only resting while you do your crunches or sit-ups. These workouts are challenging and only take a few minutes to do. I recommend that you try to incorporate push-ups and crunches into your workout three times a week and every other day, if you are not following a detailed program.

Bama battery power running at full strength
Battery: two or more cells electrically connected to work together to produce electric energy.
That's exactly what the Alabama softball battery is -- pitchers and catchers working as hard as possible to charge our team. They are the life force of the Crimson Tide. And when they all click together, you're going to see something quite electric.
Let's begin with the pitching staff, led by pitching coach and former Alabama great Stephanie VanBrakle. (Steph was a two-time All-American and led the Tide to the Women's College World Series three times.)
Amanda Locke: The senior from Mesquite, Texas, has been our biggest surprise in the circle this year, coming up big when we've really needed her. She is a force to be reckoned with in the circle and box. Locke also has one of the biggest hearts on the team, keeping her presence fun and light.
Lauren Sewell: The junior from Pembroke Pines, Fla., was pitching the best of her career before she suffered a season-ending knee surgery. Now, she has taken on a new role of being a supporter and motivator for the entire staff. Sewell is simply one of those people you just love to be around; her fun spirit is contagious and she brings so much to joy to the team.
Jackie Traina: The sophomore from Naples, Fla., is the work-horse. Jackie is not driven by individual accolades or glory; she is driven by pure love for her teammates and will do anything to help us win. She is also one of the most calm, fun-loving people you will encounter, an attitude she carries in and out of the circle.
Leslie Jury: Our talented freshman from Anderson, S.C., pushes the entire staff to be better all the time. Leslie carries herself with a quiet confidence and fiery spirit. Off the field, she is great to be around, a true team player and someone you can always talk to about anything.
Our catchers are led by assistant coach Adam Arbour, a former baseball player at the University of Michigan:
Kendall Dawson: A senior from Plant City, Fla., her fellow backstop members call her their fearless leader. Her presence behind the plate and catching skills are unmatched. Kendall is also one of the funniest players on the team, and someone who will always be there for you.
Olivia Gibson: A senior from Tuscaloosa, Ala., she is the selfless act of the bunch, always there for support on and off the field. She has grown incredibly as a person over her career here and plays a very important role as she leads by example.
Jordan Patterson: A sophomore from Tuscaloosa, she is the relentless worker. At any time, you can probably catch her taking extra batting practice or working on her steal throws to second. She knows what it takes to win.
Chaunsey Bell: A freshman from Indianapolis, Ind., she is the gamer. When she is on the field, confidence pours from her. She's always talking, saying the right things and keeping the team in the game.
Together, the battery works hard, has fun and feeds off of each other to be the best versions of themselves. The pitchers and catchers wake up each and every morning with the desire to be the best in the country.
Roll Tide!

(For another case in which an attorney declines to provide an affidavit refuting the petitioner's claim of ineffective assistance, citing ABA Formal Opinion 10-456, see United States v. Rankin, No. 5:09cr13, 2010 WL 5478472 (W.D. Va. Dec. 30, 2010).)
In a § 2255 proceeding, the United States filed a motion for an order directing the petitioner's former counsel to provide information to the United States concerning petitioner's claims of ineffective assistance of counsel.
The West Virginia Rule of Professional Conducts state: "A lawyer shall not reveal information relating to representation of a client unless the client consents after consultation, except for disclosures that are impliedly authorized . . . to establish a claim or defense on behalf of the lawyer in a controversy between the lawyer and the client . . . or to respond to allegations in any proceeding concerning the lawyer's representation of a client."
On July 14, 2010, the ABA's Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility issued Formal Opinion 10-456, "Disclosure of Information to Prosecutor When Lawyer's Former Client Brings Ineffective Assistance of Counsel Claim." This Formal Opinion states:
Although an ineffective assistance of counsel claim ordinarily waives the attorney-client privilege with regard to some otherwise privileged information, that information still is protected by Model Rule 1.6(a) unless the defendant gives informed consent to its disclosure or an exception to the confidentiality rule applies. Under Rule 1.6(b)(5), a lawyer may disclose information protected by the rule only if the lawyer "reasonably believes [it is] necessary" to do so in the lawyer's self-defense. The lawyer may have a reasonable need to disclose relevant client information in a judicial proceeding to prevent harm to the lawyer that may result from a finding of ineffective assistance of counsel. However, it is highly unlikely that a disclosure in response to a prosecution request, prior to a court-supervised response by way of testimony or otherwise, will be justifiable.
The Court concludes that in the context of a § 2254 petition or a § 2255 motion alleging denial of effective assistance of counsel, the Fourth Circuit is likely to approve only a narrow implied waiver of the attorney-client privilege. The Court advises other District Courts, when considering habeas corpus petitions alleging denial of effective assistance of counsel, to supervise the government's requests for disclosure of privileged communications between defendant and defense attorney.

He embezzled $825,000, but gets no prison time
But another who stole $557,000 gets 33 months
Don Bauder 5:30 p.m., March 27
The name "Sycamore Canyon" in California geography plays a rather redundant role. How many canyons have specimens of native sycamore, and how many of those were named (either in English or in Spanish) after that tree? Surely dozens.
One such Sycamore Canyon lies in the rambling Puente Hills, which keep at bay the vast urban sprawl of the San Gabriel Valley to the north and Orange County to the south. A large part of the Puente Hills has been set aside for habitat preservation and public recreation. Just off the freeway, so to speak, you can discover Sycamore Canyon and spend an hour or so strolling down its length. The canyon harbors some fine riparian habitat overlooked by some rather dramatic, eroded cliffs. There are several large and twisted specimens of California sycamore trees to admire, as well as willows, cottonwoods, and toyons — the latter bearing clusters of bright, red berries in late fall and winter.
To get there, exit Interstate 605 at Beverly Boulevard in Whittier. Go east on Beverly for 0.6 mile and turn left (north) on Workman Mill Road. Go 0.4 mile north to the obscure gated entrance to Sycamore Canyon on the right. There is no parking lot, but you can park your vehicle alongside the curb.
From the curbside trailhead, bypass the vehicle gate and proceed east up the narrow trail, following signs. You'll pass a groaning oil well (one of the relatively few still operating in the L.A. Basin), and bend left to join a wider path, which is an old roadbed that currently functions as the Sycamore Canyon Trail. Note the contrast between the sheer and barren south-facing canyon wall on the left, which bears the full force of sunlight, and the more gently sloping north-facing, grassy slopes on the right.
After 1.0 mile of travel, the main trail turns sharply right and wastes no time in ascending those grassy slopes. Straight ahead (east) lies a sketchy trail that continues up Sycamore Canyon toward a tributary ravine called Dark Canyon. This juncture is a good place to turn around and return if your hike is going to be a casual one. If you decide to hike farther into Sycamore Canyon, then watch out for poison oak.
This article contains information about a publicly owned recreation or wilderness area. Trails and pathways are not necessarily marked. Conditions can change rapidly. Hikers should be properly equipped and have safety and navigational skills. The Reader and Jerry Schad assume no responsibility for any adverse experience.

Course Description and Objectives:
Description: Intermediate Composition is designed for those who have some idea how to write, but want to learn how to write. Knowing how to write well—versus merely writing competently—gives you immense power and influence. A famous expression (paraphrased) stated that to gain control of a country you should first kill the poets. The point is, of course, if you can write well your options are limited only by your imagination.
Although innate talent always helps, writing is a skill. As in any other acquired skill, writers learn to write by developing their skills chunk by chunk, a Lego block at a time. We will do the same. A good portion of our class time will be devoted to analyzing prose and doing workshops on various elements of writing:
The best way to approach writing is to remember this thought: Writing should be written by the living for the living.
Course Materials:

It was a back-and-forth affair at PNC Field as Columbus came out on top by a score of 3-2 over the Scranton/Wilkes Barre RailRiders.
Columbus got on the board first when catcher Yan Gomes drove home a run with an RBI double in the top of the third. The RailRiders would then tie it at 1-1 on an Addison Maruszak RBI double in the bottom of the fifth.
The tie would be broken in the top of the sixth. Clippers third baseman Ryan Rohlinger hit a long fly ball to right field that was dropped by RailRiders right fielder Zoilo Almonte. It allowed Matt Carson to score to give Columbus a 2-1 lead. In the bottom half of the frame, Scranton/Wilkes Barre tied it again with a Luke Murton RBI double.
Left-hander T.J. House made his first career start in a Clippers uniform. Although he received a no-decision, it was a sharp outing for House, limiting the RailRiders to two runs on five hits while striking out seven and walking two in six innings of work.
Once again, the Clippers had an answer offensively. In the top of the eighth, Matt Carson clubbed a solo homer, his third of the year, over the left field wall to give Columbus a 3-2 edge.
From there the Clippers would hold on for the win, taking three of four against the RailRiders. Fernando Nieve (W, 1-1) got the win for Columbus. Jim Miller (L, 0-2) was hit with the loss for Scranton/Wilkes Barre.
With the end of their four game series with Scranton/Wilkes Barre, Columbus will travel to Pawtucket, Rhode Island to start a four game set with the Red Sox. The Clippers will send right-hander Joe Martinez (0-2, 3.43) to the hill. He will oppose Pawtucket righty Allen Webster (0-0, 0.90). First pitch is scheduled for 6:05 PM.

Nice game. Decent graphics and ... well... damn you those blue jellies. They keep shooting and you just can't kill them. Also these red jellies are making me crazy... fun game.
Hm... should I slow down those red jellies?? or make the blue ones shoot slower??
Anyway, thanks a lot! I'm glad you're enjoying it. BTW, I will upload a timelapse video soon, so stay tuned :D
Nice game, sometimes red jellies seem to push you inside a wall. I think the speed of the red/blue jellies is fine, it makes it a pretty frantic game when you're running from a bunch of red jellies!
Excellent ! Feels very tense, even though it can be 'cheated' a bit by leaving c and v pressed all the time. Pretty crazy when ble jellies shoot are you while you're surrounded by red ones !
Good solid game, expecially for only 48 hours. I liked the digging, it gave me a nice sense of exploration and discovery.
Movement was very jerky, but I liked the random caves and the general feel of the game. However I wish I had a way to replenish my rocks.
Wouldn't run :( Java starts to load, then nothing. Will hold off on rating until I try it on another computer.
Tried it on another machine, and it's a pretty fun game! It gets pretty dang hard after the first floor, though. Perhaps don't introduce the blue jellies quite so quickly, and introduce the red jellies more gradually?
Not bad. I really like the generated caves. It makes them fun to dig around and find new rooms.
However I was not able to find the stairs down from the 2nd level. The level is huuge.
Wow pretty fun! A bit repetitive, and I felt it was quite easy. Damn blue Jellys. Gotta snipe those a$$ holes.

Chocolate Cherry Cake or Cherry Chocolate Cake? To tell you the truth, I've already done some baking after I came back from the hospital. As far as I remember, I baked yogurt & blueberry muffins, yogurt & cherry muffins, cheese and ham muffins and yogurt pancakes. And as for cooking, I probably cooked more often compared to usual month-end weeks. In my recovery period, I wanted to eat at home feeling relaxed, rather than eating out. Then why didn't I post about them? Well, for one thing, what I made did not turn out very photogenic. But the biggest reason was that I didn't feel like taking the time to take photos before eating when I was not completely back to normal. I used the same chocolate cake recipe(Japanese) as the one I used for my birthday cake last March, and had a great success again. For a little twist, I saved the sherry after draining the cherries and added a small amount to the syrup I made. It turned out to be a wonderfully-flavored syrup to moisten the sliced chocolate cake. The sherry-soaked cherries were a little too many for this small (15 cm) cake. I started with a different decoration in mind, but ended up with this in order to use up all the cherries. Yeah, I'm not too proud of the way this looks, to be honest. Well, I'll know better next time ;) Anyway, this was a celebration of my recovery and I had so much fun. But I would definitely enjoy making this type of cake much more if I could slice a cake evenly. Any tips? Hey, has anyone tried this dental floss trick? Categories: Sweets |

noooo...there's not too many cherries! i love cherries and the more the merrier :D
btw congratulations on your great recovery! - 6/10/2007 9:53 PM
- Mako said...
Good to see you back at home enjoying some good home made food. That Chocolate Cherry Cake looks magnificent and so elegant..... makes me hungry for cherries. Actually I was in the local store today, wondering whether there would be some cherries. :) Well enjoy!
- Mako said...
Oh and my mum seeing your design is telling me its perfect. :)
- Yung-I Chang said...
i'm glad to see you're recovered!
i would slice the cherries to put between the layers, or try an upside-down cake. or, you could reduce the liquid in your cake batter, and then swirl in the sherry and cherries directly in, and frost and decorate the cake with one cherry on each slice. - 6/11/2007 8:19 AM
- Rosa's Yummy Yums said...
Oh, that cake looks extremely gorgeous! I could do with a slice of it ;-P...
- cocogirl said...
Like most Black Forest cake, they have the cherries sliced in half and put them between the layers. I understand that in Japan cherries cost a lot so it may seem a lot for you to use. But hey, indulge that sweet cake and enjoy! - 6/12/2007 4:55 AM
- Moryera said...
I actually kind of like all the cherries on top. It makes it look like the cake is just bursting with cherryness! :D
- obachan said...
Thank you.
I love cherries, but "the more the merrier" approach can be a bit dangerous here… ;) Fruits are expensive here in Japan. Actually these imported cherries are less expensive. But these varieties grown in northern part of Japan are sooooo expensive!
I guess it's cherry season over there, too?
Please say hi and thank you to your mum from me : )
Yung-i chang
Thanks for the tips. To tell you the truth, I chopped more than half of the cherries in small pieces and mixed with the cream and put between the cake layers. But it's kinda hard to see in the photo, I guess. The white cream with dark red cherry bits showing between the dark brown cake layers… I just love it.
I finished a quarter of it at once :P It was good… well, maybe I soaked the cherries in sherry a bit too long…
I chopped the cherries in small bits instead of slicing them. I thought it would make it easier when I cut the cake.
Yeah, cherryness! :D I love that. Nevertheless, I would like to try a different decoration next time. - 6/15/2007 12:43 PM
- Mako said...
Sure, did.
Yup it is cherry season.... got a bowl full of them. :) - 6/19/2007 7:06 AM
- obachan said...
I'm green with envy. Sigh...
- littlepolaris said...
I love baking too.
Can you translate the chocolate cake recipe into English for me? cos i can't read japanese ^^. Onegai~
Arigato. - 7/02/2007 2:25 PM
- obachan said...
Hi Littlepolaris,
Thanks for your comment. Can you email me at the address on the sidebar? If clicking on the "email me" link does not open a window, right-click on it and copy&paste my email address. TKS. - 7/02/2007 10:44 PM

Park Ridge Police Arrest Attempted Robbery Suspect
Detectives from the Park Ridge Police Department have been investigating an attempted robbery which occurred on Thursday, January 17 (2013) at approximately 12:45 p.m. in the area 900 W. Higgins. Police officers responded to this area after receiving a 911 call where the caller stated a male suspect attempted to take a purse from a woman, by force, as she was walking on the sidewalk. The suspect and the victim fell to the ground during the struggle for the purse. A passerby approached the two in an effort to assist the victim at which time the suspect fled the area on foot. A second passerby witnessed the altercation as he was driving by the area. He stopped his vehicle and pursued the suspect, on foot, over a fence. Although he was unable to catch up to the suspect, the passerby was able to get a description as well as license plate information of a possible vehicle involved.
A subsequent investigation by Park Ridge Police investigators led to the arrest of Nikolas R. Tselikis, 18 yoa, from 824 E. Old Willow Road Prospect Heights, IL.
Park Ridge investigators, along with representatives from the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, reviewed the case and, ultimately, charged Mr. Tselikis with Attempted Robbery, a class 3 felony.

From Conflict to Collectible
44 comments:
Hi Nancy! What a great and fascinating post! I have seen those baskets and never knew what they were! Great look and great history..maybe next time I see one I'll get one for myself! Love all the pictures and how many different uses they have!
Congrats on your son!! Time keeps on slippin!
Miss BloomersNancy - you are teaching me new things all of the time! I pride myself on knowing a bit about history, but I cannot hold a candle to you. I have never seen these baskets before, but I prefer the one you have with the canisters in place. I will be looking for these in the future - thank you for writing about them! I, also, would like to share good wishes with the graduate - best of luck in the future!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting post Nancy!...It's amazing how we evolve at least in that aspect....trying to make the best out of a not so good situation, or in this particular case, an object. An the pic of your son is so moving...tonight I'm sending my boy to his first prom...I don't know who is more nervous me or him...anyway..congratulations and post pics of the graduate! Hugs, Lizy
ReplyDeleteThose baskets are great and I remember that post Marcy did, Nancy. I wanted one right there and then! I love the way they are displayed with the wood cutting boards. I also love how you've used yours with umbrellas and walking sticks. It looks great under that plate rack, too. If I was in my old house I might consider looking for one {or a reasonable repro}, but here in the new place, I just don't have the room.
Happy Mother's Day!Hi Nancy: This was really interesting. Baskets have so much history in our lives but can't even imagine what some of those people from long ago would think about what we use them for now. Congratulations to your 'little boy'. My grandson will be graduating high school next month also. Boy, does time fly..Happy Mother's Day..Judy
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, This was a wonderful post and I loved learning about these awesone baskets, the history and how many use them today. I love baskets too and find great uses in nearly every room. Love yours holding cookie sheets and such. Congrats to your little/big man on his graduation from high school. Blessings to him always.
Thank you for stopping by to invite me to your linked in. So nice to meet you and discover your blog as well. I so enjoyed my visit.
Have a great weekend and Happy Mother's Day.
Hugs from Texas, Celestina MarieI would never have guessed what those baskets were used for. Amazing. I am glad you kept yours intact. Love it.
Congrats on your son's graduation. It seems when they are babies that you will have them forever underfoot and then, suddenly, they are young men and women ready to move into young adulthood. Blessings- xo DianaHow cool. Thank you for sharing. My 13 yr old grandson is very into WWI & II, so me thinking hum I can show him something new and interesting NOT. He told me a few things. We enjoyed the photos too. Thank you for bringing us together with something in common. Best wishes to the graduate and Happy Mother's Day to you.
ReplyDeleteNancy, we've had one of these for many years. Ours does not have the canisters. In fact, this is the first time I've seen one with canisters. Thanks for sharing all the interesting information and photos. We've had flowers in ours, but for years now I've had it tucked away not being used. I've often admired Evi's basket and thought that's what I need to do with the one we own. Just need to find a spot to hand it!!!
Thanks again and Happy Mother's Day! ~ SarahNancy, your post is so interesting! I've been following your blog for a long time but it's my first comment. I'm from Argentina, I love transferware and I collect vintage children's dishes. I'd like to learn more and more about them. Do you know any collector with the same interest? I admire your collection and your... posts? lessons? Thank you very much for sharing all these with us! (sorry if my English is not so good...).
Kisses from Buenos Aires! Silvina.This was fascinating to me, I had no idea! I do recall seeing Sherry's basket and being surprised that it carried ammo. How cool to have all the old photos bringing us back in time to see how they were really used in the wars...now I will know what they are if I ever see one at auction...thanks Nancy and have a wonderful mothers day !
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, Thank you so much for featuring my basket! I have had mine over twenty years and it is still one of my favorite things. I also have a smaller one that my husband bought me one Christmas. Love the picture of yours with the umbrellas. Did you notice all the baskets shown have the same number imprinted on them?
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the most interesting and fascinating posts I have ever read. I love to collect baskets, but I've never seen any like the ones you have displayed. I will surely be keeping a look out in the future. Thanks for all of the details. And congratulations to Jonah. Yes the time flies by way too quickly.
Jocelyn @
http://justalittlesouthernhospitality.blogspot.com/Yet another intriguing and educational post from you, Nancy! I just love these baskets (despite their ignominious use!?) and I do like the one with the cannisters as an umbrella stand, and the ones without cannisters for baking sheets or breadboards. (Yours are displayed so prettily.) I doubt I will ever see any here in New England but if I do I'll know now what they are!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great basket education! I have had one for years, and just filled it with curly willow last week and used it for the first time. It was a lucky GW find, I think I paid $3! I had always thought it was a reproduction, but now that you have shown us the canisters, I think maybe not, because the inside bottom is carved as though it held the canisters in the past. I'm really glad that I held onto it now that I know what they're worth! Thanks for the great info, Nancy!
Cheers, Andrea- AnonymousJune 23, 2012 at 8:35 PM
Nancy, Just found your blog! I purchase my artillery basket after seeing Marcy's on AntiqueChase blog. I got it at Bellacor for $99.00 on sale plus free shipping! My lucky day!
I use it for my large bread boards also. However, I love the use of it for flowers and for other items you have posted on your blog! Great ideas!
Regards and best wishes!

I am going to tell you right now that I read this post, panicked, and immediately called the Orioles. Let me explain . . .
For our anniversary, I got the hubs season tix to this year's games. However, in October, they didn't have the tix yet. So it was more of a promise of future tickets. I talked to a very nice man in the ticket office who took all of my info, and assured me he would call in Nov/Dec when the tix were available. December rolled around and no call. So I called him (cuz mama didn't raise no dummy and I got HIS info as well). He reassured me that they were late this year and the tix would be out in January. Of course, January has come and almost gone and I completely forgot . . . until I read your blog post about SINGLE tix going onsale. Yikes! So I called, and rest assured they still had plenty of tix (that they apparently hold back for season tix holders). So I ordered a 13 game plan that I will be splitting with my BIL. Yay!
Anyway, I'm sure there will be a time when I have extra tickets. I will let you know.
Sounds like you have a good start to the sports season with your ticket purchases. And a return to us being able to root for the same team. Go O's!! ;)RepliesGlad I could help.
Ever since I ordered those playoff tickets online, I've been getting emails from the O's. so I got one announcing the single ticket "pre-sale", before they were to go on sale to the general public after Fan Fest. So I basically just lucked into them.
See you at The Yard!
I'm feeling ya. Tickets and car repairs just sapped 2 grand out of my bank account faster than you can say "Tippy Martinez."
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun to me! I had a blast at the Pirates game when Cass took me. The view was outstanding.
And guess what one of the four pro baseball teams I've seen is? That's right, the Diamondback in Tempe! :)"Maybe meet up with some of my blog friends for dinner, to prove that Pinky is a real person and I'm not the blogging version of Manti Te'o."
La Tavolla - round two. I'm in.

Augusta Rivermouth Golf Statistieken, Herfst: Golven met Licht of Offshore Winden
The rose diagram shows only the swells directed at Augusta Rivermouth that coincided with light winds or offshore conditions over a normal southern hemisphere autumn. It is based on 6580 predictions, one every 3 hours. The direction of the spokes show where quality surf generating swell comes from. Five colours represent increasing wave sizes. Very small swells of less than 0.5m (1.5 feet) high are shown in blue. Green and yellow illustrate increasing swell sizes and red represents largest swells greater than >3m (>10ft). In either graph, the area of any colour is proportional to how commonly that size swell occurs.
The diagram implies that the most common swell direction, shown by the biggest spokes, was SSW, whereas the the most common wind blows from the SSE. The chart at the bottom shows the same thing but without direction information. For example, swells larger than 1.5 feet (0.5m) coincided with good wind conditions 9% of the time, equivalent to 8 days. Expect open water swells to exceed >3m (>10ft) 3% of the time (3 days). Taking into account the ratio of these swells that coincided with forecast offshore winds, and given the fact that Augusta Rivermouth is slightly protected from open water swells, we calculate that clean surf can be found at Augusta Rivermouth about 9% of the time and that surf is spoilt by onshore wind 31% of the time. This is means that we expect 36 days with waves in a typical southern hemisphere autumn, of which 8 days should be surfable.
IMPORTANT: Beta version feature! Swell heights are open water values from NWW3. There is no attempt to model near-shore effects. Coastal wave heights will generally be less, especially if the break does not have unobstructed exposure to the open ocean.

HealthWatch: Growing Stem Cells in Space: Medicine's Next Big Thing?
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) - Hemorrhagic stroke is responsible for more than 30 percent of all stroke deaths. It happens when a weakened blood vessel ruptures and bleeds into the brain.
It's something Jon Galvan experienced five years ago after he almost died from a hemorrhagic stroke while at work.
"I was typing away and I felt a pop in my head," Galvan told Ivanhoe.
He was able to recover, but Abba Zubair, MD, PhD, Medical Director of Transfusion Medicine and Stem Cell Therapy at Mayo Clinic, Florida says not everyone is as fortunate.
"If it happens, you either recover completely or die," Dr. Zubair told Ivanhoe. "That's what killed my mother."
Dr. Zubair wants to send bone marrow derived stem cells to the international space station.
"Based on our experience with bone marrow transplant you need about 200 to 500 million cells," Dr. Zubair said.
But conventionally grown stem cells take a month. Experiments on earth have shown that stem cells will grow faster in less gravity.
"Five to ten times faster, but it could be more," Dr. Zubair said.
Specifically he hopes to expand the number of stem cells that will help regeneration of neurons and blood vessels in hemorrhagic stroke patients.
"I think this will revolutionize how we treat stroke patients, not only hemorrhagic but even the ischemic stroke, which is much more common," he said.
The stem cells will be taken to the international space station within a year. While one batch of cells is grown in space, another batch will be grown on earth; other than the appearance of gravity the growing environments will be the same. Dr. Zubair says if the lack of gravity proves to be a better environment for stem cell growth, then the next step will be to transform the cells into tissue, and ultimately organs. He envisions a future where replacement organs can be grown in space as well.

Improve Your Chances Of Success As A New Comedian: ComedyUniversity.com
By now you have probably heard about the controversial tweet that comedian Sarah Silverman made on Twitter regarding abortion.
While her tweet was satirical, apparently her tweet (with before and after pics of her mock abortion) has caused such a stir that some are speculating that the tweet she made may even jeopardize her chances of getting pick up for a new NBC TV show in development for the fall currently called "Susan 313".

Kataklysm Unveils Alternate Album Artwork
Kataklysm has revealed the alternate cover art for upcoming release "Waiting for the End to Come."
The artwork by Eliran Kantor will be featured on the deluxe digipak and LP versions of the new album, which will be released on October 29th (North America) via Nuclear Blast.
The previously released cover by Peter Sallai, will be featured on the standard jewel case and limited edition cassette tape versions.
"This other version of the new art made by Eliran Kantor represents a more iconic and epic approach," commented vocalist Maurizio Iacono. "A man representing all of humanity, shaking the foundation of existence and ultimately beginning the process of destruction. The main foundation is depicted here as the famous Kataklysm 'tribal sun' logo. It does not represent the end of Kataklysm by any means; more the beginning of a new era after the end of a certain existence." More...

Kataklysm has posted a teaser trailer for new album "Waiting For The End," which can be found below. Maurizio Iacono also comments:
"The album art depicts a child which represents innocence in humanity, covered in dirt and blood from life's experiences. In front of him, his death represented by a reaper who comes to claim his soul for the afterlife, or the abyss. It's open to the fans to decide with their own beliefs. In the end this is the transition between life & death." More...

Kataklysm Issues Album Update
Kataklysm has checked in with the following update about the artwork and formats for the band's upcoming album:
"Kataklysm will release two different incredible artworks for the new album 'Waiting For The End To Come' by two acclaimed artists, one by Eliran Kantor (Testament, Hatebreed) and the other by Peter Sallai (Sabaton) with different formats: CD, deluxe digipak, LP and including a return to a limited edition cassette format (just like back in the day)!
"We are anxious to release these new artworks to you guys, maybe next month? The new album is in mixing mode with producer Zeuss (Suffocation, Hatebreed, Soulfly, White Chapel). Looking like a promising year for the mighty Kataklysm and a return to pure power. A world tour is in the works."
The band also recently announced filming will commence in August for "a very ambitious & sick" video clip for the song "Elevate" from forthcoming concept album "Waiting For The End To Come." The album is due out in October, with further details forthcoming.
Kataklsym Filming New Music Video
Kataklysm will film a new music video in Belgrade, Serbia next month with director Ivan Colic from iCode Productions (Ex Deo, Soilwork, Moonspell, etc.) whose previous work includes Kataklysm's "Push The Venom" video and Ex Deo's "Romulus" and "Final War (Battle Of Actium)" videos.
Filming will commence in August for "a very ambitious & sick" video clip for the song "Elevate" from Kataklysm's forthcoming concept album "Waiting For The End To Come."
According to the band, the plan is to bring the viewers into a visual masterpiece of chaos, a chaos based around the ideals of death, the purpose of life, the human factor, and the semi-coma state that most people in this world exist in.
Kataklysm frontman Maurizio Iacono states: "In a nutshell, we believe we wrote the most intense, intricate storyline for a video clip ever made in death metal and our genre. Big statement? Well, we've got big ideas and we need to put it to life with crazy visuals. We hired the man who has the balls and the artistic capacity to execute this task plus one of the best special FX teams in Europe to back him up. It's time to up the game. We're back and we're swinging hard."
Kataklysm's "Waiting For The End To Come" will be released worldwide this October.
Bloodstock Adds More Bands To Festival Lineup
The organizers of the Bloodstock festival have checked in with the following announcement about confirming more bands for this year's edition:
"Here at Bloodstock HQ we are excited to announce a whole batch of new additions for all three stages. There's only seven weeks left to the most metal weekend of the year!! Have you got your tickets yet?!
"Opening Friday's main stage, and fresh off the back of the release of 'IV', their first album in ten years, are British post metallers, Earthzone 9. The band are stoked to find their way to Catton Park's hallowed ground, commenting 'Earthtone 9 have never played Bloodstock, so we could not be more excited! It's one of our only gigs this year, so we are truly going to make the most of it. There may well be some drinking!' You can pick up a free download of their single, 'Horizon's End' at this location.
"On Sunday's Sophie Lancaster stage, Sacred Mother Tongue get added. Having received huge plaudits for their second album, 'Out of the Darkness', and live shows, the Northampton based band are building quite the name for themselves. Check out the video for 'A Light Will Shine', here. More...
Kataklysm Announces Temporary Drummer

"Oli played with Kataklysm before on the 70,000 Tons of Metal Cruise last year and he did a phenomenal show," commented guitarist J-F Dagenais. "He is extremely talented, focused and ready to do the job needed. Some of you might be familiar with him from his work with Neuraxis and session work with Keep of Kalessin and Belphegor. We are very happy to have him on board and he comes wit a thumbs up approval from Max as well. We have one hell of a ride in store for you with this new album so let it begin."

Kataklysm Drummer Taking A Break From The Band
Max Duhamel, drummer of the Montreal based death metal powerhouse Kataklysm will be taking a break from the band, and won't be performing on the upcoming new album. Max issued the following statement:
"Hello everyone, it is with an a extremely heavy heart that I announce today that I will not be performing on the new Kataklysm album, I have been struggling with many personal issues the last year but lately, the main one has been alcohol, it's been affecting my body in a very negative way to the point that when I came home after the Ex Deo tour we just did, I tried to stop drinking for few days and it's been very hard without having any withdrawl symptoms, I've also lost a lot of weight as some of noticed recently and I'm not in good shape...
"I've heard the new material my brothers have written and its truly incredible stuff , it's really some of the best music the band has ever done but It's going to be a very demanding album and my state of mind and body is not ready to confront this big task right now, I need to clean my body and my mind and come back focused to Kataklysm and I don't know how long this will take.
"The guys have reached out to help in anyway they can which I can't thank them enough. I'm truly blessed to have them as a family, so as I start my road to recovery I send this message to all of you and thank you for all the support, It's time to take my life in my hands and take responsibility, I will not be attending the Juno Awardss ceremony in two weeks for Ex Deo nominations but I will close my contract with the shows in May that are left, Extremefest, Beastival in Germany and Metalfest Czech Rep will be my last shows until I'm ready again to come back in full form, you guys deserve the best of me. See you later."
The new album "Waiting for the End to Come" is tentatively scheduled for a late 2013 / early 2014 release. The album will be recorded by guitarist Jean Francois Dagenais and mixed by Zeuss.
Kataklysm Reveals New Album Title
Kataklysm has revealed the name of band's impending new LP (and follow up to 2010's "Heaven's Venom") as "Waiting For The End To Come." The album is tentatively scheduled for late 2013 through Nuclear Blast Records.
Vocalist Maurizio Iacono commented: "Well it's been a seriously busy ride since our last album Heaven's Venom was released over 3 years ago. From a successful world headlining run, to Ozzfest, into a recap of our 20 years as band with the Iron Will DVD. We've been writing in a very humble fashion behind the scenes for the last six months. It's time to take KATAKLYSM to higher levels and dig deep into our capacities as musicians and songwriters. We know exactly what we have to do, that's why we have taken our time and why we'll be taking most of the Summer to complete the new album. The record will deal lyrically with mortality and the purpose of ones being on this earth. The moment we are born we start to die. It's a sort of deal we make with life, and with that I title the new KATAKLYSM album Waiting for the End to Come."
The band is working with renowned producer/engineer Chris "Zeuss" Harris (Hatebreed, Suffocation, All That Remains). More information on the release is expected soon.

Kataklysm Enlists Zeuss To Mix New Album
Canadian extreme metallers Kataklysm have enlisted renowned producer/engineer Chris "Zeuss" Harris (Hatebreed, Suffocation, All That Remains), to mix and master the band's forthcoming album, tentatively due in the fall. Commented Kataklysm vocalist Maurizio Iacono:
"It's time for Kataklysm to make a change and challenge ourselves a bit more when it comes trying out new sounds. I think it's healthy to explore other avenues at this stage in our career, and Zeuss has worked with some bands we really like such as Hatebreed and Suffocation. When it comes to full-blown power and making each instrument flow together in harmony, Zeuss is one of the top producers out there. We're confident he can deliver what the band is seeking to accomplish and the sound we want on the next album."
Added Zeuss: "I have been watching and listening to Kataklysm over the years and finally our paths will meet for their new record. I look forward to a new chapter in Kataklysm history."
As previously reported, Kataklysm guitarist and longtime producer Jean-François Dagenais (Malevolent Creation, Misery Index, Ex Deo) will once again helm the new record. The band is scheduled to enter JFD studio in Montreal and Dallas in June/July.
Further details on the follow-up album to 2010's "Heaven's Venom" (reviewed here), will be announced as they are made available.

Metal Daze: The Metalcamp Diaries, Part II
... Continued from Part I...
9… something… am. Or maybe it's 10, or maybe I'm in Hell. All I know is that the sun has risen, transforming my tent into a "Bridge On The River Kwai" sweatbox and my sleeping bag into a dehydration cocoon. I'm marinating.
Cooking aromas. Eggs frying, a Mediterranean whiff of olive oil, the universal scent of black coffee. Subdued, slow-motion, hung-over camp chatter. An unfamiliar voice: "Mind if I drop in for a meet-and-greet?" Male, low and steady-pitched, Eastern European. Might as well get my ass moving and be social. Also, I'm starving again.
I peel away my constraints, fumbling, slippery, dazed. I unzip the door and gasp for breath. The open air feels cucumber-cool by comparison and prickles my skin.

Kataklysm Frontman Comments On Music Industry
Maurizio Iacono, frontman of the veteran death metal band, Kataklysm, has issued a statement on his official Facebook page commenting on the recent layoffs at Roadrunner Records and the state of the music industry in general. Numerous press outlets have picked up the strong and impassioned message in the wake of this massive hit to the heavy metal community.
"This is just the beginning," wrote Iacono. "Not buying albums is affecting the labels who in return invest in the bands, tour support, recording... it's destroying all newcomer bands and [it's] making middle class musicians poor. You're not hurting the labels by illegal downloading, you're killing the bands."
He continued, "Starting a band these days is a suicide mission. If music becomes a hobby for musicians, then no more tours, no more good music. Dark times ahead. Well, wait, we have holograms now, don't need REAL people on stage... my bad...
"Again, it's not about me. I've had a great 20 years; if it ends tomorrow I can keep my head [held] up high for what I've done, but what about the new comers and the future of music? NOT good. It's not you the fans' fault, don't get me wrong. It's the system that let it happen. Governments, etc. could have stopped it. They didn't. Now it's up to us, the fans, to help out.
"Buy a shirt, CD, vinyls, download on iTunes, Amazon, the songs you like .. DO SOMETHING! I love you all, and always remember, you guys have all the power to build or destroy, we are only messengers of your voice." More...

Sounds fabulous and that you had wonderful time.
Fox & Franz Josef Glaciers & Nelson
Trip Start
Aug 15, 2008
Trip End
Aug 14, 2009
On our way back up the west coast, we broke our journey at the Fox & Franz Josef glaciers. These glaciers are unique as they come right down to within walking distance of the villages - so we walked up as far as we could to see them.
The valleys carved out by the glaciers are quite dramatic having sheer sides with the bed littered with rock debris (terminal moraine) that was left when the glacier retreated.
There are paths that take you up the valley then lead you over the river bed but they stop before you actually reach the glacier.
They won't let you climb on the ice because it's too dangerous, but they will let you pay lots of money to fly by helicopter & land on the ice !
1st April - Nelson
After another long blast up the coast, through some more magnificent scenery & the Marlborough wine region, we reached Nelson (keep an eye out for this place). Nelson is one of the sunniest areas in New Zealand; has lovely beaches, beautiful scenery, wineries, breweries & good restaurants - I wonder why we liked it ?
We again stayed in a house, this time it had a BBQ in the back garden, so we had steaks, salad & wine for dinner. I helped Michael with the cooking, but only because cooks are allowed to drink while they cook.
We had an intruder while we were cooking; a praying mantis crawled up the leg of the hot BBQ, it didn't seem to mind the heat. I didn't know they existed in New Zealand.
About 3 miles from town is the popular Tahunanui beach, a long golden beach backed by dunes & car parks. It was out of season so we had the beach to ourselves. It also has a wonderful beach side cafe.
One evening we went to a restaurant on the quay, it was built over the water & used to be a boat shed, it was called the "Boat Shed".
The food was lovely but we had hysterics because, being a "Nuevo Cuisine" restaurant, the portions were very small - we thought we would have to stop off on the way home for fish & chips !

When we first started watching this video, we were like, "Why didn't they pick Blake Griffin or DeAndre Jordan to star in this instead of Chauncey Billups and/or Lamar Odom?" But then, we actually finished watching the whole thing and...yeah. BG and DJ definitely called out sick the day that this was filmed. This would be acceptable if it was your Aunt Ida and Uncle Fred who were making it. But, the Clippers are an NBA team! They couldn't have come with something a little better to help wish their fans a happy holiday?! SMH. Bah, humbug!
