Skater name and number: Kimproper Konduct – 2K
What made you decide to form the JRG? Our area needed an amazing women's sports team that's unique and that will help show women they can be strong and beautiful! Plus bring the fun and sport of roller derby to our home town for friends and family to enjoy.
Derby birthday: Sept 27th, 2012
Personal slogan: Stick to the plan!
Favorite song to skate to: "Won't Back Down" – Eminem featuring Pink
Love: Slipping my feet into my roller skates and getting excited to skate as I lace them up!
Tell us about the first time you participated in a bout: The time went by so fast, I don't remember much, haha! But it was such as rush! It was more fun than I had ever thought was possible!
What is your favorite position while playing/participating, and how do *you* approach it? Love to be a jammer because it's a challenge to me; Being small it can be lots of work getting through a strong wall of blockers. But I also love to block, as again, being small sometimes I do knock some taller girls down!
What would you tell a person who is thinking about getting involved with roller derby? Don't be afraid! And I'd ask them, "When is the last time you did something for the first time?"

Published at Tuesday, April 16th, 2019 - 15:51:11 PM. Worksheet. By Abella Barre.
Lost in their favorite gizmos, today's kids are devoid of the fun learning aspect offered by preschool worksheets. For generations, worksheets for kids have been used by educators to develop logical, lingual, analytical, and problem-solving capabilities. It is a proven fact that children learn quickly in their formative years than at any time in their life. As a result, parents and educators give special importance to grooming kid's mind between 3 to 7 years of age who can be easily moulded to confident youngsters. Let us explore the benefits of using worksheets for Nursery to Grade 2 learners. Innovative worksheets for kids created by educationists can be used to teach Maths, English and EVS to make the foundational concepts easy and intriguing in an enjoyable format.
Problem solving involves an element of risk. If we want children to learn to solve problems we must create safe environments in which they feel confident taking risks, making mistakes, learning from them, and trying again (Fordham & Anderson, 1992). In a play-based curriculum, each day provides opportunities to learn about reading, writing, and math through real, meaningful situations. For instance, children set the table for snack so each child has one napkin, one straw, and one box of milk. Children string beads to match the pattern on a card or wait their turn because there is room for only four children at the art table. Through these meaningful experiences children begin to understand number, quantity, size, and other mathematical concepts. Early childhood education experts agree that the years from birth to age eight are a critical learning time for children (Bee, 1992; Kostelnik, Soderman, & Whiren, 1993; Willis, 1995). During these years, children have many cognitive, emotional, physical, and social tasks to accomplish (Katz, 1989). While children may have the ability to perform a task, that does not mean that the task is appropriate and should be performed. Educators agree that learning to read, write, and compute are undeniably important skills for children to acquire. The question is how and when they should be learned.

This morning something really strange happened.

Compassion isn't extreme.
We're not a church and not a religion. We just choose not to use, abuse, torture or kill animals nor do we pay anyone to do it for us. So why support those cruel practices that most of us couldn't do ourselves anyway?
We can live a good, healthy life, we eat delicious plant-based food where no animal has to die or suffer and we're leaving our children and grand children a healthier planet.
It's really easy to go vegan and it's getting easier every day because the demand of plantbased products is exponentially rising and because of people like you and me that actually give a f@%k about animals, health and the ecosystem of this world. Peace starts at your plate! ? Contact me any time for questions.

Quite often we categorize inconveniences or simple pet-peeves as real life problems. Water is Life offers a new perspective and helps us all realize there are real problems in the world that need our attention.
This videoclip features people from impoverished areas of the world complaining about "first world problems."
The purpose of this video is to provide a stark and unflinching view of issues affecting the lives of people living without clean water. One in five children under the age of five die every 21 seconds from waterborne illnesses. Also, one in six people on the planet do not have access to clean water. These statistics are scary, but definitely frame the sheer insignificance of we what we consider in the first world, as problems.

Applying for a Job When You Don't Meet the RequirementsSeptember 2nd, 2016
Haven't you heard stories about a person who "met all of the requirements," but was passed over at the final stages for someone who "seemed like a better fit"? Probably so – It is very possible that a company would hire someone with less experience who seems like they could hit the ground running, rather than someone with the requisite 5+ years of experience who doesn't possess strong communication skills, as example. The reason companies use that dreaded number-of-years requirement, is to attempt to understand whether or not you have successfully performed the job duties in the past. The less they have to train you, the better – in most cases.
So as a job seeker who doesn't exactly meet the years of required experience in the position description, should you still apply? How can you decipher between the mandatory requirements and the ones you could compensate for with your other amazing skills? What next steps should you take to make a case for yourself?
Can you DO the Job? – Prove Your Value
Okay, we didn't say, "Do you want the job?" It doesn't matter how passionate you are about the position or how intriguing you find the company; if the job requires translating documents from Spanish to English and you're only conversational, you're not qualified. However, if it's the number of years that is standing in your way, our experts say that it's your skills and ability to perform the job tasks that will help you land the job.
As you read through the job description, try to imagine how the person in this role spends their day and what the employer is trying to achieve. For example, break out "public relations experience" into writing press releases, pitching media, and representing a brand. From there, you can figure out that the employer is looking for someone who is organized, demonstrates time management, has the ability to write concisely and with proper grammar, and is capable of making decisions. Sound like you? If you can make a case for why you are a good fit based on those skills, you can snag an interview even though you may not have the 3-5 years of "public relations experience" required. In place of traditional on-the-job experience, include any internships, college credits, or volunteer work you've done where you utilized those aforementioned "transferable" skills.
Get Someone to Vouch for You
Include a written endorsement by someone who can attest to why you're worth considering, despite your lack of the requisite years of experience. A great reference from a current employee at the company or an industry professional that you have worked with, is the icing on the cake – It can really set you apart from the other applicants. Don't feel comfortable asking for a referral? Utilize LinkedIn connections to ask current employees for advice on how to stand out.
Ultimately, our experts agree that even if you don't have the required number of years of experience, it is still worth applying for the position – within reason, of course. If the company is looking for 10 years of experience and a strong knowledge of Excel, and you have one year of experience and have never used the software, this is not the opportunity for you. However, if you have 2 years of experience but the job requires 3-5, you could include internships, college credits, or volunteer work in place of on-the-job experience. Often companies use the job description as a laundry list of skills they would love their "perfect" applicant to have. Truthfully, companies aren't going to stall the hiring process until this figurative "dream candidate" rides up to their front door on a white horse. Solid, qualified applicants (like you!) get interviews too! So, if there appears to be a wish list of desired skills at the end of the description, see them as bonus skills, and focus your application on the core skills YOU have.

You can't follow social media in the last few days without coming across something Flappy Bird related. It is a very simple game, but one that can quickly lead to frustration. I recently installed the game and spent way longer playing "just one more time" then I should have. My high score is still pretty pathetic, but thankfully the people at Dumb Stupid Videos have an answer. Below is how to win at Flappy Bird.

UPDATE: I originally wrote this before I found out that the creator has pulled the app. Hopefully, some of you were saved from the horrors known as Flappy Bird.
Twitter is a snarky place. I can appreciate honest and constructive criticism, but so many tweets quickly turn hate and vitriol. A black president, Coke running a commercial where an American song is sung in foreign languages, and even actors being cast as beloved superheroes have all lead to tweets that make me sad for the human race.
I believed these tweets to be pointless, but not everything is without purpose. Enter Jimmy Kimmel and his show's "Mean Tweets" segment. Below is the latest (and, IMHO, the greatest) iteration of actors turning mean tweets into comedy gold.

The Big Lebowski is the greatest movie ever made, but well, you know, that's just, like, my opinion, man. One aspect of Veronica Mars that I loved was all the references to this great Coen movie. The world of the Dude has expanded outside of film and into everyday life. I've been given books (and given books) about living life as the Dude. I've overheard Lewboski references in day-to-day conversations. Central Waters Brewing Co. named their three beer tanks, Walter, Donnie, and The Dude.
Now I can add ice skating to the list of Lebowski mash-ups. Below is a video of Tara Lipinski skating to "I Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" while carrying a white russian.
How soon until "The Big Lebowski On Ice?" On second thought, I'm out of my element.

When he wanted to visit the grave of his friend who had died a year previously a Dromore man found that his bike needed fixing.
So he decided to go to a store in the town and steal a pair of pliers to mend the machine.
Scott Mayne (21), Barban Heights, Dromore, pleaded guilty to the theft of the pliers, valued at £3.99, from SuperValu on August 30 this year.
Banbridge Magistrates Court heard last Thursday that the defendant went into the store, removed the packaging from the item and walked out.
He was identified immediately and the pliers were recovered but could not be put back on sale.
District Judge, Mr Paul Copeland, said that Mayne had a total of 17 previous offences, most of them for dishonesty, and he casually took the pliers in a brazen manner.
A barrister representing the defendant said this incident was stupidity because it happened within a week of Mayne having been given a suspended sentence for theft.
He explained that his client wanted to visit the grave of a friend who had passed away a year ago.
He took the pliers to fix his bike and he did go to the grave, added the defence barrister.
The lawyer said that Mayne had not only put his own liberty at jeopardy but he had also put his young family at risk.
Judge Copeland said that theft seemed to be a part of the lifestyle of the defendant who just took what he wanted when he wanted.
He adjourned the case until October 13 for a specific sentence report to see if Mayne was suitable for community service so he could 'do something worthwhile' with his time.

Many emerging robotics applications require the use of multiple collaborating robots to operate under human supervision. To be useful in such applications, robots will need to act as smart assistants by programming themselves, efficiently learning from the observed performance, safely operating in the presence of uncertainty, appropriately calling for help during the execution of challenging tasks, and effectively communicating with humans. This panel discussion will provide an overview of the advances in artificial intelligence that are being used to enable robots to automatically make decisions to meet the aforementioned requirements. As smart manufacturing represents a leap forward from traditional automation to fully connected and flexible systems the question that will be asked and answered is: How ready is the industry to embrace the challenges and opportunities of this new era and what do they need to do embrace the potential of these technologies?

We could say that LED downlights and Ceiling lights are the most demanded and used products in the lighting sector due to their versatility, different designs and sizes. On the other hand, the variety of designs provides a plus to be used for all types of applications, both in a home or for industrial use. These products are usually found in the three types of white light available in the market.
Led downlight
It is the star product when the needs imply a product to be embedded in the ceiling. At the time of installation, the main conditioning factor is the roof cut-off diameter. This factor is of vital importance because, if an error is made in the measurement of the hole, it can cause problems in the installation.
The range of recessed downlight is available in powers ranging from 3W to 24W, finding these models with round and square shape.
The range of ultra-thin Led Downlights bases its design on a very compact and attractive configuration when embedding in shallow ceilings. Also, its design significantly improves the heat dissipation, a very important factor in the life of the LEDs. We can also find models with a more traditional design: with metallic grating dissipator used for heat dissipation.
As a function of the increase of the luminous power, it can be verified how the size of the downlights increases as well. Some models have the option of being able to regulate the luminous intensity through the installation of a dimmable driver (dimable) in replacement of the one that comes by default. The installation by means of metallic claws makes the downlight fixed to the ceiling firmly.
Surface Mounted LED Fittings strong>
This type of products can be used when there is no false ceiling and the assembly must be on the surface. As it is not recessed, we do not have any determining factor that could condition the installation of the product. We have multiple designs, both in colors and shapes, which make it an attractive product when installing anywhere.
Available from 3W to 48W, in both round and square design.
Its installation in ceiling is very simple because they come with a support that simplifies the assembly of the LED ceiling lights. In some models it is possible to change the default driver for an adjustable one in order to regulate the light intensity. As with downlights, as the luminous power increases, the size of the products increases. Its designs make the dissipation of heat is appropriate, thus lengthening the lifespan of the products.

If you strive to be a better person, your grades will fall into place, local educator says.
I hear it often, "Brother Victorious, does this assignment count for a grade?" "Is my assignment the best in the class?" "I'm way smarter than you, my grades are way better." Call me weird, but school should be about life-long education, not a trivial letter grade. It's as if we're programming our youth into grade orientated robots, no longer emphasizing the true purpose of education, which is to master information and use it to improve the world.
Whether you are an educator, parent or community worker, our youth should strive for the very best and push themselves to be greater human beings. As an educator, my sole job is to polish their strengths and help improve their weaknesses so they can be effective citizens. Intrinsic motivation is always the most difficult to tap into, yet once it is tapped, it will help sustain youth through their adult years.
To many adults, this may be a totally new idea so here are a couple of tricks to help build intrinsic motivation within students:
Continually praise their effort
Anytime students complete a task, be sure to ask them sincerely, "did you try your very best?" You will be surprised with their honesty. This will help them reflect on their own effort and not someone else's. Many students have low academic esteem because they received bad grades their entire educational career. It is important to help improve their esteem through positive support.
Slow down on your rubrics
Be sure to give students assignments that allow them to express their creativity. Limit the things they have to do and give them more room to complete assignments they want to do. Create a framework for them to shine through their class work.
Youth must know that grades are merely just a way for educators, their parents and colleges to keep track of their progress. So, if you are pushing yourself to be great, your academic grades will fall into place.
There is no need to compete with others because each student has something unique to share with the world. We have to teach our youth to master themselves and pull out the divine energy that exists within them.

The plebians should be making babies and giving up their dreams
Through Avedon Carol, this article proposing that we completely overhaul society so teenagers can get to marriage and babies as soon as humanly possibly. The idea of course is that it sucks that young people in their 20's are running around being happy with their jobs and independence and whatnot before they settle down to have children in a situation that's financially easier to manage than it would have been a decade before. The reason? Well the writer of this piece, Frederica Mathewes-Green, didn't get to enjoy her young adulthood so neither should you.
I got married a week after college graduation, and both my husband and I immediately went to graduate school. We made ends meet by working as janitors in the evenings, mopping floors and cleaning toilets.
She goes on to claim that it was the most wonderful thing ever. Sure it was. I know I'm jealous. Every time I hang out with my friends, have sex in the living room, have time to myself, get to eat something fancier than macaroni and cheese, have a little extra cash to spend, and get to sleep in on Saturday, I just sigh and wish that I could be cranking out the babies.
While the writer skirts the anti-feminism in this article, it's easy enough to see. If a couple marries young and starts having kids, one of them has to give up on the college education and career most of the time. There was never a magical point in history where teenage girls, as a rule, could shove their babies into the arms of grandparents and then go off to grad school every day and then work as janitors at night. It's not just selfishness that keeps young people from delaying marriage and child-bearing--they really don't think it's a great idea for kids to be raising kids.
But what's so wrong with a little bit of "selfishness"? I stand unconvinced that my inner life is lacking because I like having time to myself. But even people who are convinced that having children is the morally superior position to take should be wary of this. I don't really see the advantage of a race to the bottom--who can get married and have children the youngest?

A great way to save money is to use up that old stack of gift cards you have shoved in the back of the junk drawer. We all have at least one or two that come to mind. Some with the standard $20 or $25 balance, maybe a couple lucky ones with $50 or $100, and then those annoying ones with only $0.47 or $2.91 left. I know I have a Best Buy gift card with $.97 on it. The product of a good shopping trip performed months ago, by not wanting to come out of pocket when buying myself a (most likely) useless birthday gift. Gift cards are a practical way to get through that tight budget. Whether it be cashing them out or buying something small to keep their balance, it will save you a buck or two.
First, you are encouraged to compile all your gift cards in one location and put them in the car you drive most. For example, each of my gift cards are in an old wallet in my glove box. That way when I am out and need to stop for a meal or gift or unexpected purchase, I can consult my gift card wallet and pick something that will cost me little to nothing! In the past, this method has helped me not only stay organized, but paid my way when I was out of the house, broke, and hungry.
Next, do a quick google search on local gift card laws. For example, some states allow the charge of inactivity fees if one hasn't used their gift card over the past year. This is a big loss to you, the consumer, since someone worked hard to save up the money to buy a gift card for you. Letting the value decrease due to inactivity is a big waste. I once received a gift card for a hotel in Las Vegas. I didn't make it out to Vegas over the first 12 months and a $8 fee was charged to my gift card, reducing the balance. This was pretty upsetting to me, considering I was down before I had even used it. If you live in a state that allows inactivity fees, make sure you do your research to ensure you're doing what you can to preserve that balance.
Finally, a great way to unlock some extra money is to cash out your unused gift cards. While you're investigating expiration dates and inactivity fees in your state, you may as well research cash redemption laws. California Civil Code §1749.5(b) provides for any gift certificate with a balance less than $10 to be redeemable in cash. This is great news for those low balance cards. All you have to do is visit the retailer with your gift card and tell them you want cash instead. Voila! Instant cash!
In short, the best way to get through a month of budget-friendly Top Ramen is to throw a gift card in the mix. Whether it be for a meal while you're out, a friend's birthday present, or just some extra cash, gift cards will keep you on track and then some. And make sure to do your research so you're not losing someone else's hard earned money!

Chamber (Piano, Percussion, Flute, Full Chorus), 33 min
A creative reconstruction of the lost art-form of Ancient Roman Pantomime.
Pantomime is a lost art form from the late Roman period where a masked performer would act out a well-known myth in front of a musical chorus. Pantomime artists were the celebrities of their time and while no librettos exist, there is evidence to suggest that all the major playwrights of the age wrote pantomimes.
For the third and final installment of my Ovidian Trilogy, I wanted to do something formulaically different. After exploring artistic love in Pygmalion and gender-bending transformation in Salmacis, I wanted the culmination of the trilogy to tackle love head-on and settled on the well-known tale of Narcissus. We designed a performance that unfolds in three parts, each part dedicated to a different aspect of love — parental love, romantic love, and self-love.
Directed & Choreographed by Austin Tooley, Music & Libretto by Santino DeAngelo, Dramaturgy by Marty Murray, Produced by Santino DeAngelo. Initial workshop performance at Binghamton University, May 2013.
Upcoming World Premiere January 2016, more information to come.

Having spent the last few weeks swooning over Inter Milan's swish new kit, it's probably about time we were brought back down to earth.
However, we're not sure anyone could be quite prepared enough for the new shirts released by Spanish Segunda Division side Club Deportivo Lugo.
For some reason, despite having already released their home, away and third strips for the coming campaign, the club's designers got a little carried away and produced an extra two shirts – and in all honesty, they probably shouldn't have bothered.
With the club's main shirt sponsor being beer brand Estrella Galicia, it's not hard to see where they got the inspiration for one of the kits.
But the other octopus tentacle design really is a complete mystery.

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have reportedly planned to renew their wedding vows on their shared birthday this year.
The couple, who separated last year in August after 14 years of being together, reconciled later in the year and now want to reaffirm their commitment to one another in September, reports contactmusic.com.
"Michael and Catherine have been through a lot together over the last few months. They would love to renew their wedding vows and have thought about doing it on their shared birthday, 25 September," a source told Britain's Grazia magazine.
The couple has two children — Dylan, 13, and Carys, 10.

1 cup packed brown sugar (I use light brown or golden)
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons butter
Pinch of sea salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Melt butter in pot, mix in brown sugar, cream and salt.
Cook over medium-low heat and whisk gently for about 7 minutes or longer if you doubled.
I remove the pot from the heat, add vanilla and return to cook for another minute or so to thicken a bit more.
Take it off the stove and pour into a jar then pop it into the fridge and VOILA you're done!
Recipe yields 1 1/2 cups (although I usually double it but its just as easy to only make a half batch)

Who is coming up? What's the haps? As usual, the fellas over at Lo-Hud have it covered.
Hey guys - sorry for the off topic. Not sure where else to ask.
My wife and I are going to The Stadium in June for the first time in a few years. First time in the new place, obviously. It's a Thursday day game, so we were thinking of taking the train right to the stadium. Any quirks with that, or is it just a normal ticket from the depot kiosk?
Also, we were thinking about lunch at the Hard Rock. Is it impossible to get into on game days? Would we be better off checking out one of the local joints?
Thanks, and pardon the interruption.
I'm sure you can get into the Hard Rock. Sure it's crazy expensive and lame but maybe in a fun perverted way. I don't know too much by way of really good eats in the neighborhood so I can't help you there.
I haven't taken the Metro North up there yet but it looks cool. Did you mean that train or the subway? For subway it's still the 4 or D to 161/Yankee Stadium.
Hopefully Thames can hit soon. Then he can share DH duties w Miranda and we will have to sweat out Golson and Winn at the corners until Grandy or Swish are ready.
Moves as expected.
Nick the not stick Johnson to the 60 day, Fuzzy Moeller up to back up Frankie Brains.
Fuzzy's the right call here, since you're just looking for a backup while JoPo is out.
At least these 3-4 weeks will really give us a good long look at Frankie Brains and let us get a better idea of what his value might be going forward.
Silver linings and all, right?
Frankly, I'm less worried about Frankie and more about our OF. Golson just isn't qualified to be the 1st OF you have on the 40 man for call up. I'd rather see Russo back to play in the corners and given a chance to show his bat.
In any case, we need to trim some deadwood off the 40 man, wasting the Garcia spot on yet another big-arm-no-control reclamation project seems like a very poor choice in these circumstances.
But hey! No DL for Thames or Swisher, I guess CC can pinch hit for the Mighty Mites this weekend, right?
[3] i really can't believe we are reduced to praying for marcus thames to heal quickly. nor did i ever expect to see chad moeller in pinstripes again.
[4] haha, you tried man to stay on that positive train - you waited to the end to transfer :}
[2] Hudson Valley metro train from upstate (God I can't believe I said "upstate", lol). Normally we take the train to Grand Central and subway up to the stadium, then subway back and walk around for awhile before heading home. That adds a lot of travel time, though. This trip I'd like to spend a little time checking out the new Yankee digs, walk around and see what it's like. Who knows when we'll be back.
We'd normally eat at this cool place up the street and around the corner from the stadium. Dunno the name, but I could find it again once I was there. Good food at a decent price with quick service. I'm not all that into chain places, but for some reason I have a weak spot for the Hard Rock. But I'd be just as happy going to our old spot and grabbing a sandwich.
re: Tonight's game. I'm losing track of injuries. It's getting easier to keep track of who isn't hurt.
And I swear if Jeter swings at the first pitch and grounds out to short again, I'm gonna hurl. Hate to complain about the captain, but sheesh. He's been hitting like he's got a couple ladies waiting back at his apartment.
[5] I'm saying. Joe seems intent on using him. I just don't want that much liability in the OF.
Another silver lining with the Posada injury is that maybe when he returns (hopefully sooner than later), it is as a DH, at least until (if) Johnson returns.
Right now, the Yankees desperately need Swisher back in this lineup. That gives then four productive regulars plus two surprise performers (Gardner and Cervelli). That still leaves a weak bottom-2 against righties, but Granderson and Posada will hopefully be back before the middle of June.
The Yankees rise or fall over the next 3-4 weeks rest squarely on the fate of Derek Jeter. If the Captain can snap out of his funk, they should have more than enough to stay ahead of the WC and close enough to the Rays. If, however, we are seeing the onset of a decline, the Yankees could find themselves with a large deficit by mid-June.
Ryan Garko was recently waived by the Rangers and appraently no one put in a claim. I can't believe Cashman didn't make a play for someone who has been a very good right handed hitter in his career.
[10] If they bring in Garko, or Jermain Dye, who gets voted off the 40 man? Boone Logan? Mitre is safe in that they view him as emergency starter/long man. I don't know who at AAA they would want to DFA.
[10] I'm all for taking a flyer on Garko or Dye, all you're gonna lose is money and its not like they can possibly be any worse than Winn or Golson.
Looking forward the good news is that the Yanks SHOULD be getting healthy right around the time the schedule gets crazy soft over the next several weeks. After tonight the only legit tough series for next month are 3 games against Minny next week and 3 vs Philly in mid-June. Other than that its a steady diet of Mets, Tribe, Orioles, Jays (who I'm not at all sold on), Astros, and D'Backs. Thats a good time to be getting (hopefully) Swish and Granderson back into the picture.
just gimme some truth. AS game is July 14th. Yanks'll play 48 games with 5 days off tween now and then:
TB tonight, 2 series each against NYM, BAL, TOR, and SEA (7)
and 1 stand each against MIN, CLE (4), HOU, PHI, ARI, LAD, OAK
Shouldn't have too much trouble with BAL, CLE, HOU, and ARI. But the inferior Os did sweep the Red Sox.
So tell me.. where will we stand on 4/12 for the AS break?
[13] d'oh! On 4/12 we were 2nd in the AL East with a 4-2 record. Of course, I meant 7/12.
[14] gardner is f'ing with the space-time continuum again.
[9] i don't necessarily agree with your take on jeter's struggles, but i do agree that if he snaps out of it that will help a lot.
captain obvious here, but the starting pitching absolutely has to hold up and the pen needs to snap together.
[14] Put it this way, if the Yanks aren't in first at the break (which as bad as it looks today, they absolutely could be) I don't see them being more than 4.5 out.
Maybe thats me being overly optimistic but you combine a soft schedule with 2 of your starting OF's coming back from injuries plus lets say Po is back by 6/21 in Arizona...they should be in ok shape.
[17] exactly
Per LoHud, it's Russo.
The sum of decisions:
Mark Melancon to Scranton.
Jorge Posada to the DL.
Chad Moeller contract purchased.
Kevin Russo recalled.
Nick Johnson to 60-day DL.
Russo instead of Golson is a good sign, methinks. Of course, Coffee Joe has to actually play him, but let's see ...
And the plan is for Swish to play OF, hopefully moving Thames back to DH.
[20] all in all pretty good - i still have loogan's bus fare with me though.
The Stick is back in the lineup
Jeter SS
Gardner CF
Teixeira 1B
Rodriguez 3B
Cano 2B
Swisher RF
Miranda DH
Cervelli C
Winn LF
[7] I've taken the Metro-North (Hudson Line) to the new Stadium. They have a special "Yankee Clipper" on game days, that goes express to the Yankee Stadium stop.
If you're traveling off-peak, you may have to get off in Croton-Harmon and change to the local (if you're north of Croton). The conductor will explain it, if necessary.
You can buy the tickets at the kiosk or from a ticket machine.
The new Metro-North station is very nice, and huge. There's an overpass that takes you to the big bat. And a walkway past the old stadium to the new one.
Don't worry if you miss the "Yankee Clipper" train. There are trains every hour or so, even off-peak. You may have to take the local and transfer at Croton-Harmon again, but you won't be stranded.

LONDON (Reuters) - British lawmaker Oliver Letwin said on Sunday that he believed Prime Minister Boris Johnson could probably get his Brexit deal over the line.
Letwin, who derailed Johnson's plans to pass an agreement on Saturday by putting forward an amendment which withheld approval of the deal until formal ratification legislation has passed, said he would propose no more amendments this week.
"I am absolutely behind the government now as long as they continue with this bill, continue with the deal, I will support it, I will vote for it," Letwin told BBC television. "There will be no more Oliver Letwin amendments next week because there don't need to be, I am supporting the bill."
Letwin, who was kicked out of Johnson's Conservatives over his attempts to block a no-deal exit, said with the support of lawmakers like him he hoped the government could get the deal across the line, adding: "I think we probably will."

The obvious stuff - everything official was happening on one of the four stages in Harpa. The two great rooms we're used to at Airwaves plus the underground car park converted to a club area and the ground floor 'bay view' area which was a neat idea but really struggled for atmosphere. Apart from a good line-up at Volta (FM Belfast, Legend and others) there was very little happening off-venue.
The audience at Sonar was much more Icelandic, I reckon at least 80% instead of around half at Airwaves. There also seemed to be more extremes of age, definitely a large contingent of under 18s and a good scattering of 60+. There was more bad-temperedness on show than I've seen before, a couple of shoving matches happened when people took exception to those guys (you know, those guys) who want to march up to the front of the show using shoulder barges as they go.
The music for Sonar is described as cutting edge, certainly everything in Reykjavík from overseas could broadly be classified under 'dance'. The selection wasn't that straightforward for the local acts, the more obvious choices like GusGus, Retro Stefson, Samaris & Soley were joined by acts like Sin Fang, Mugison & Asgeir Trausti - I was interested to see if that second batch of acts would adapt their shows.
Almost half of the acts playing were DJ sets, and whilst I know there's skill involved in this it remains really hard for a bloke playing records not to look like a bloke playing records. I know, I don't get it. I mainly avoided these sets but did enjoy what I heard at sets by Human Woman and Pedro Pilatus. What I got, as I look back at Sonar, was a bunch of very fine shows (headed by Samaris [right], Valgeir Sigurdsson, Bloodgroup and Soley – those last two had to struggle in that weird non-gig space of the bay view area) and six really exceptional ones. The final score, not surprisingly (have we met?), being Iceland 5 Rest of the world 1. Let's talk about them...
Ghostigital's set was excellent, of course it was. It was a shame that it started in front of such a sparse room, luckily the noise (oh the noise) drew a decent crowd in pretty soon. This is something Sonar had in common with Airwaves and Icelandic nightlife generally - not much is busy until at least 10pm. This was the first of many sets to be conducted exclusively, or nearly so, in Icelandic. Fair enough too, these are Icelandic people in Iceland - I guess I'm so used to hearing English at Airwaves where the crowd is so much more international. Of course, Einar makes most of his lyrics up on the spot so these were all Icelandic too. It doesn't matter one bit to the overall effect, I just don't get the jokes! Ghostigital triumph through that wondrous, thunderous alignment of beats, voice and extreme volume - Harpa passed the volume stress test that some other venues have failed. Highlights, if I'm coping without the English language prompts were Hovering Hoover Skates and Numb.
The late night Friday slot produced a choice between local legends GusGus and the ever growing reputation of Retro Stefson (I CAN NOT BELIEVE it is 7 years since I first saw this band, and they are still so young!). In the end, the choice was removed, the queue to see GusGus was extraordinary (I assume due solely to the excellent endorsement in the Grapevine) and so my plan of catching half of each set became a full blown party with Retro Stefson. Party continues to be the word for these guys. They've changed a lot musically over the last 18 months, but even this slightly (you should have seen them before!) toned down live approach still manages to get every room they play in jumping like lunatics. Like at Iceland Airwaves their set concentrated almost exclusively of the newer sound of their most recent record, highlights were littered throughout the hour they spent with us but the renditions of Glow and Qween were my picks. The very best was saved for last – I was so pleased (and they definitely were) to hear them go right back to the debut album for a good 10 minute rendition of Senseni. Total and utter triumph.
So the first night produced two huge ticks. The Saturday night doubled that tally, and also had another increasingly confident outing from the very fast improving Samaris, who wowed a big crowd in the Silfurberg hall. In what must be the all-time record for earliest start to a Saturday night in Reykjavík, the first show of the evening was at 18:30. Of course, Ólafur Arnalds was well worth heading out early for. The Norðurljós hall had been fitted out with rows of seating and the crowd in the full venue sat in the type of stunned silence that Ólafur must be very used to by now. It was every bit as great as the Airwaves show in the same venue months earlier. My personal highlights this time were a perfect version of Near Light and the two collaborations (Old Skin, and a track from Ólafur's very imminent new album) with Agent Fresco vocalist Arnór Dan. This was the first time I have seen Ólafur perform with a live vocalist. Bring on that new record, and (whoop!) the show at The Barbican in London next month.
Shocking news. I loved a set that wasn't by an Icelandic band! The fullest room I was a part of at Sonar (I wasn't at GusGus, Modeselektor, Simian Mobile Disco or LFO all of which I was told were rammed) was in Silfurberg to see James Blake. I was really intrigued to see this show. James won a lot of friends in Iceland a few years back when he really threw himself into the spirit of Iceland Airwaves, popping up all over town for impromptu sets and, let's face it, drinking into the small (not that small) hours. Knowing that and hearing talk around the blogosphere of an upcoming and reputedly sensational second album convinced me to venture "non-Icelandic". What a good decision, this was an exceptional set of clever beats, soulful tunes with some cracking singing and effects and came complete with a proper screaming at a pop-star moment (not me, waaaay too cool) when he began to play Limit To Your Love. I have no idea what genre label you'd put on this type of thing. The real star for me was the drummer who, for a couple of hours, came close to getting ahead of Mugison's drummer in my drummer-based affections. There's a lot to hate about James Blake, he's good looking, incredibly pleasant and unreasonably talented. Try as I might though (!) I absolutely adored his set, and I can't wait to hear the new record and see more shows.
I've already been a bit rude about the Bay View Area more than once. It didn't really work out. Half the time it was half empty, all of the time there were people eating their dinners not that far from the stage. The lighting (and Harpa has the best I have ever seen) was odd, with a permanent pair of bright lights pointing out at the half-blinded crowd. Sin Fang was the exception to the rule. Sindri and his mates played a set of songs from brand new (and utterly wonderful) album, Flowers. It must just have been those songs that made this set so enjoyable. Once again the 'area' was sparsely populated. Nobody had dared venture within 5 years of the stage, then a few rows of people sitting on the floor and finally people sitting around round table wondering if they are at a concert or in a café (answer: both). Sin Fang have just made a wonderful album of songs I want to hear over and over again, and they get even better heard live. From the Strokes-like "See Ribs" through to the very charming "Young Boys" and "Sunbeam", every track is a winner. I could watch this band every day right now.
Sin Fang didn't seem to vary anything about his set of songs in a nod to the Sonar ethic of dance or cutting edge sounds. That was fine I loved it, but it was noticeable that Mugison, my final highlight, did go a little bit 'fusion' – his word, not mine! Mugi's set-up looked the same as the show he played at Airwaves but with the addition of what I think we need to call the 'mirstrument'. I can't describe it, it is an instrument that makes all kinds of noise and I suspect only Mugison really knows how it works. This was a very different set to the one in November. I was delighted to hear him start with a pair of really old (a decade already?) favourites, "Poke A Pal" and "Sea Y" and then later on, "I Want You". Even the standard, ever-present songs in mugi-sets like "Mugiboogie" and "Jesus Is A Good Name To Moan" were transformed by the box of tricks. And, my God, the traditional set closer "Murr Murr" which has already had many iterations since its launch as an acoustic lullaby, once again was transformed. This time it became something thunderous and terrifying but still retained THAT riff somewhere in its soul. An incredible end, I had to go outside after that to check the world hadn't actually ended, because it sure sounded like it might have done.
So yes, I am glad I was at Sonar Reykjavik. It isn't Airwaves and it was never going to be. I missed the rushing around the streets because there's JUST TOO MUCH going on all at the same time. I love Icelanders (yes I do!) but this festival lacked that spirit that I guess a bunch of foreign music lovers adds to the city. Having said that, at Airwaves time that's pretty much all Reykjavik is about. These last few days it has been nice to see RVK going about its normal business, mainly unaware that cutting edge music has arrived in the harbor. The truth is of course that cutting edge music, and all manner of non-sharp edged music of extraordinary standard, is always present here, part of the soul of the place. It's just that these festivals are the best way to let the rest of the world in now and again. More, more, more.

NOS Primavera Sound 2019
- Parque da Cidade, Porto, Portugal
- 6-8 June 2019
Porto's alternative idyll
Part of the hugely revered European festival family, NOS Primavera Sound is the annual Portuguese outing for the brand, taking place each June in the city of Porto.
Similarly committed to musical diversity and forward-thinking curation as its Barcelona-based older sibling, the festival's lineup comprises indie and alternative favourites, stars of hip-hop, and a selection of electronic music's underground heroes.
And while the atmosphere and fanbase are also very similar to that of the Spanish flagship, one point where the Porto edition arguably comes out on top is the setting: a beautiful green and scenic park in the heart of one of Europe's most underrated cities.
