The five Prospective Parliamentary Candidates (PPCs) for the Elmet and Rothwell constituency came together for a hustings event at Wetherby Methodist Church.
All major parties were represented at the event last night (March 19), and for an hour and a half the PPCs took questions from the audience.
The event was organised by Churches Together in Wetherby and chaired by Rev Tim Laundon, Curate of St James' Church.
After the debate the candidates made time to speak to the Wetherby News about what they wanted to highlight about themselves and the parties they represent.
Below are some extracted quotes, not full speeches, from the answers given.
PPCs were asked to refrain from quoting statistics, and if they had to they were obliged to provide a source. They were also asked not to rely on prepared speeches or sound bites.
Conservative PPC and current MP Alec Shelbrooke said: "I am the son of two teachers and I went on to university, as did my sister.
"That opportunity was there because of the state education system and everybody who wants to get on should be allowed to do so.
"It should be about an opportunity for everybody with the ability to get on. That is why I have a long term plan to carry on the work we have started."
Labour PPC Veronica King said: "I was always brought up hearing my Nan's stories about her childhood in Armley when there was no safety net, no welfare state, and no alternative.
"And the stories she told me about the Labour government and how it changed her life in 1945 is what drove me to join the Labour Party when I was 17.
"I want to see more of those 1945 politics in 2015 and I'm still inspired by my Nan who came to my campaign office last week, which was such a proud moment for me."
Lib Dem PPC Stewart Golton said: "Due to family circumstances for a significant part of my childhood I was brought up by my grandparents.
"My grandad was a working class Tory but voted Liberal locally because he was inspired by a local lady running there.
"I was taken to the Chapel a lot as a child and that made me aware that you can do more together than you can apart, and I have been loyal to the Lib Dems ever since."
Green Party PPC Dave Brooks said: "Up until recently I have been totally uninspired with the political system.
"I have been very much an activist focused on establishing a workers' cooperative and on the back of the Green surge I realised there is a party that speaks to me and to people about caring, about sharing, and about equality.
"So I have got involved with the Green Party. We are the fastest growing party in the country and the third largest party."
UKIP PPC Paul Spivey said: "I have been a parish councillor now for over ten years and I work hard for my community.
"I became more and more frustrated by the inability of the government of the day to deal with problems affecting people on the street.
"I feel passionately that we should be doing everything we can to help you guys and I want to do the best job."
Mrs King: "I think local people will be engaged in voting when we have a more representative government and I am really proud the Labour Party has the most female MPs and we are looking at a lot of issues like the gender pay gap."
Mr Spivey: "I believe everyone should be respected, women and gentlemen. And many of you will know that when you have a good idea you check it with the wife and the wife has an opinion like everybody else."
Mr Brooks: "The pressures on teachers are ridiculous and you will have heard about paperwork and inspections, but there seems to be a plan to basically fail schools so they can then be turned into academies run from central government rather than local control."
Mr Golton: "Just because you're a teacher that doesn't mean you're a good teacher so I don't think it is a bad thing that some teachers leave because they might be being moved on to get a better teacher in place, but I think they should be helped to get to the best they can be."
Mr Shelbrooke: "The idea that if you are a wealthy pensioner you shouldn't have the benefit is a political view, not an economic one, and it is about redistribution of wealth.
"The most important thing we have to recognise is that pensioners on the whole are on fixed incomes and when the cost of goods goes up pensioners are hit hardest.
"The triple lock pension means the government is doing all it can for people on fixed incomes."
Mrs King: "I know from my work that local authorities like Leeds are being cut by 43p for every £1 from their money and they have to cut funding for things like adult social care. Pensioners are seeing a cut and there is a whole bigger picture that shows they are being hit really hard."
Mr Golton: "Pensioners vote, so when people are making decisions about where they share scarce resources out they are going to make sure the people who vote for them are going to be looked after. But I don't think anyone is being particularly featherbedded, it is just that you're not being directly targeted."
Mr Brooks: "The Green Party believes we should end austerity - there shouldn't be cuts, there shouldn't be suffering."
Mr Spivey: "I believe our pensioners have all worked hard and contributed to the society we have today. Part of the original agreement with society in paying taxes was that you should have a comfortable old age but pensions have not gone up with costs and savings aren't worth as much, so I believe you are being targeted and you are suffering."
Mr Shelbrooke: "We must make sure that if you have the ability you must have the opportunity.
"The tuition fee policy means the money is actually probably coming more from the government now than it was before and is that such a bad thing?
"What it does make sure is that universities know exactly where the funding is coming from, and reducing funding means fewer people can go to university and I don't support that."
Mrs King: "Young people tend to be the ones that are least likely to vote in elections, but I am glad we are talking about things that affect them and, unlike the Lib Dems in government, we won't break our promise and our policy on tuition fees will stick."
Mr Golton: "Don't make promises you can't keep. Sorry."
Mr Brooks: "We would abolish tuition fees."
Mr Spivey: "At UKIP we believe tuition fees should be abolished."
Mr Shelbrooke: "Mental health is an issue which society has to take on board. This is not a disease which means someone is going to come round to your house and put an axe through your head.
"Society has to become far more accepting about what mental health and mental illness is about. We shouldn't be ashamed or it or frightened of people who have it."
Mrs King: "One of the things we have said we would do in the NHS is invest in staff, more doctors, more nurses, and one of the big jobs they will be doing is ensuring we have specialist staff, ensuring that support is there for people of all ages."
Mr Golton: "The issue has been talked about more and more and I think it is happening, there is a wave that is starting and the issue is how do we turn good intentions into policy."
Mr Brooks: "One in four of us will have a mental illness at some point and the Green Party believes all health is centrally linked.
"We should see the whole of society's wellness as a reflection of society. The pressures that put people into mental health breakdown situations leaves you open and vulnerable and the Green Party would focus on primary access to services."
Mr Spivey: "We have pledged £3b to the NHS, which we would fund through our leaving the European Union."
Mrs King: "I am glad we have got a safety net in place and I am glad that the first thing Labour would do is get rid of the bedroom tax.
"It is morally reprehensible and there is just not the case for it. Politics is about priorities and those with the broadest shoulders should bear the greatest burden."
Mr Golton: "Before we have a go at the banking system, think about those who are there providing a service to working people.
"Even under a Labour government we did rely on the City of London too much as the goose that laid the golden egg and when the crash came there was far too little money going into the public coffers.
"Now we have an economy that is in growth we need to think again. We can't keep relying on cutting the public spending."
Mr Brooks: "Picking on those that are least able to defend themselves is one easy way to stop spending revenue.
"The Green Party would advocate a wealth tax and we would take one per cent off the richest.
"It is time to make the bankers pay and we should have a decent welfare state system."
Mr Shelbrooke: "Leeds City Council says this constituency has to take 12,500 houses and 5,000 in the Wetherby and Harewood area in the next 15 years.
"You are either going to double the size of every village, or you are going to identify a site. I stand up and say that site should be at Headley.
"Many don't agree with the suggestion I have put forward and I think it is a ridiculous figure based on statistics we don't think exist, but I have identified a site that has schools, roads, doctor's surgeries.
"Unless people can stand up tonight and say where those houses are going to go then you have not had an answer."
Mrs King: "The issue is building the right homes in the right places, while protecting the identities of the villages in our area.
"We need to ensure new homes have got the right infrastructure in terms of flooding, schools, GPs and whenever there is new development we need to make sure new homes are affordable for local people.
"The Labour Party policy is to build on brownfield land first."
Mr Golton said: "Everybody wants to build on brownfield sites but the other parties haven't articulated how they are going to make that happen before the greenfield is built on first.
"All parties have relied on volume house builders and they are still holding onto the land they already have because they want to build the kind of houses they want to build.
"Up to a point they are in collusion with local councils. Leeds City Council wants to build 70,000 houses and they other parties are saying you don't need to build that many, but they are tempted to because they get a new homes bonus from the government and more tax. This is the core problem."
Mr Brooks: "It is about balancing the need for housing, and it is definitely about living in a community where your children need houses or they will move somewhere where there are some.
"House building has to happen. We will be expanding council housing and availability rather than expensive housing people can't afford."
Mr Spivey: "UKIP has a clear policy of favouring brownfield land and would incentivise house builders to allow them to build on these sites with grants and back cuts with the primary objective of achieving affordable housing.
"There is no other way to do it other than making it attractive for these developers."
Mr Shelbrooke said the exploitation of young people, both in work and in how they are perceived, Mrs King said support for carers, Mr Golton said David Cameron's big society and enabling communities, Mr Brooks said climate change, and Mr Spivey said the candidates and who is going to get the best for the public.
Where candidates are not quoted that does not mean they did not answer. All PPCs gave full answers to all questions. What is quoted here is a brief part of what was said.

The 1961 Harley arrived yesterday. I am beyond impressed with the service and speed of delivery. Stand up company from start to finish. The delivery guy was great. I want to buy something just so I can get you to deliver again!!
Hey TFX,
Just wanted to thank you guys for the prompt pick up of our vehicle, the 1966 Mustang.
It was a big event for our family to send this vehicle off to our daughter and son-in law in California.
Your driver Rodney was great. His truck was beautiful and clean as could be.
He was very professional in his work but realized how much the car meant to the family...so he didn't mind as we closely watched him load up the vehicle.
We are confident that the Mustang will reach its destination safely.
Obviously, we will recommend your company when we hear of anyone else looking to transport a vehicle in the future.
Thanks again,
I used TFX to ship my 1967 Mustang convertible from BC to QC, everything was flawless, Mike the trucker was very professional, all the staff was helpful by the phone. The car arrived in the same condition, carpet, steering wheel and seat was covered, my car was treated like a Rolls.
The price worth the service and the quality of the transport. They are probably the best, I will certainly use them again.
Hi Adam
I received my car last week,I would like to Thank You and the drivers and and transport company for getting it to me in the same shape it left Roy's house.
Hi Brandi,
I got the car and everything was good. I wanted to Thank everyone at TFX for thier assistance in helping me bring this car from Canada. I have never bought a car from out of state and the TFX crew was patient and understanding of my questions and concerns.
Thank You Again!!!!
We used a shipper that was very experienced in importing cars from the States called TFX International. They have a fleet of trucks, including several huge 50 foot, all-hydraulic, enclosed, padded trailers that can carry five vehicles, which ours came in. They even have hydraulic lift platforms for loading, which are perfect for vehicles with low front spoilers. This company has shipped everything from Formula 1 cars to vehicles owned by movie stars, though they specialize in transporting snowbirds' cars for retirees that winter in Florida. They are based near the Pearson Airport in Mississauga, Ontario, and I would recommend them very highly.
I just wanted to thank you for the service that your driver Ian put forth on your behalf. It was above and beyond on the cold winter day that this gentleman delivered my motorcycle and his coaching and mentor allowed me to complete the additional 4 hour drive without any incidents. Hat off to Ian and I'm sure the handshake fell well short of the job he did for me.
Thank you
Good morning,
Just want to say I was very impressed with the delivery and "Dan" the guy at the wheel.
I've been in the trucking business most of my life, if you ever figure out how to clone him, send us a dozen. Definitely will be recommending TFX in the future.
I would like to take the time to Thank you, your staff and your driver Ian for the pick of my 2009 Corvette ZR1 in the Thunder Bay last week.
Your staff was very professional in answering all my calls and getting back to me in a timely manner - the car was picked up on Wednesday night from Thunder Bay ( as stated ) and I was pleasantly surprised when Ian called me the night before ( Thursday ) saying he will be making the direct delivery to my residence on Friday between 10:30 - 11:00 Am.....I got another call Friday morning at 9:00 Am confirming the drop off.
Canada Day Friday July 1st @ 10:30 am - Ian arrived with my car ( he was very courteous and pleasant to deal with )....the car was in excellent condition....Again I would like to say Thank you and I will highly recommend and use your company again...for sure.
I received the car yesterday, I appreciate the top notch service. Walter was very friendly and professional. Hopefully I will be in need of TFX's services again in the future.

Nature Conservation (Scotland) Act 2004
received Royal Assent in June 2004, with the majority of its provisions
coming into force on 29 November 2004. Containing five Parts and seven Schedules, the Act places duties on public bodies in relation to the conservation of biodiversity, increases protection for Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), amends legislation on Nature Conservation Orders, provides for Land Management Orders for SSSIs and associated land, strengthens wildlife enforcement legislation, and requires the preparation of a Scottish Fossil Code. The Act is compliant with the provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights, requiring consultation where the rights of the individual may be affected by these measures.
The Act places a duty on every public body to further the conservation of biodiversity consistent with the proper exercise of their functions. It requires Scottish Ministers to designate one or more strategies for the conservation of biodiversity as the Scottish Biodiversity Strategy, and to publish lists of species of flora and fauna and habitats of principal importance.
Conservation and Enhancement of Natural Features
Chapter 1 of Part 2, and Schedules 1 and 5, of the Act repeals the SSSI provisions of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended), providing for the enhanced protection and management of SSSIs, requiring the preparation of site management statements and amending notification procedures. The provisions place a duty on public bodies for the further conservation and enhancement of SSSIs, provide a new offence whereby third parties can be convicted for damaging SSSIs, and enable the making of byelaws for the protection of SSSIs. Penalties for conviction where the provisions are breached are amended from those previously applying. Appeal processes are introduced with regard to the notification, management and protection of SSSIs.
Chapter 2 of Part 2, and Schedules 2 and 5, of the Act enable Scottish Ministers to make a Nature Conservation Order to protect a nature conservation feature which is of special interest, or which is contiguous with land containing such a feature, to ensure its protection.
Chapter 3 of Part 2 provides for Scottish Ministers to make a Land Management Order to require operations to be carried out on land in, or contiguous with, an SSSI where this is necessary to conserve, restore or enhance a natural feature specified in the SSSI notification. An appeal process is introduced in relation to the making of such Orders.
Protection of Wildlife
Part 3 and Schedule 6 of the Act make amendments to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, strengthening the legal protection for threatened species. The species protection afforded to wild birds, animals and plants is extended to include 'reckless' acts. The protection afforded to the nests of certain, threatened, bird species is extended to all times of the year, and the disturbance of certain bird species at their lek sites is prohibited. The Act makes it an offence to intentionally or recklessly disturb a dolphin, whale or basking shark, and also to sell a self-locking snare, or to possess one without reasonable excuse. Powers are provided to Scottish Ministers to prohibit the sale of certain non-native species. The Act amends and enhances the provisions for enforcement. The Protection of Badgers Act 1992 is also amended.
Scottish Fossil Code
Part 4 of the Act requires Scottish Natural Heritage to prepare and issue a Scottish Fossil Code setting out recommendations, advice and information relating to fossils.

A man who claimed he was sexually abused by care home workers more than 10 years ago made false allegations to win compensation, a court was told yesterday.
The alleged victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, confessed to a fellow prison inmate 18 months ago that he had fabricated the abuse to get money to fund a sex change, the court of appeal in London was told.
He made allegations of sexual abuse against two former members of staff from approved schools on Merseyside, including David Jones, the former manager of Southampton football club, who was acquitted at Liverpool Crown Court in December 2000 of 20 charges of physical and sexual abuse of children.
The victim, who is undergoing a sex change, also made allegations against another former care worker, Michael Lawson, who was jailed for seven years in June 2000 after he was found guilty at Liverpool Crown Court of 17 charges of indecent assault, involving the alleged victim and five other complainants.
Lawson, 62, a former police officer, is appealing against his conviction. Yesterday a witness gave evidence that the alleged victim had told him when they were in prison together that the allegations against Mr Jones and Lawson were false.
Wade Walsh from Birkenhead, who was also a resident at the same Merseyside approved school in the mid-1980s, told the court that the alleged victim confessed after Mr Jones was found not guilty.
The alleged victim is now known by her female name and Mr Walsh said: "She said the reason she had done it all was because she had money stolen from her by a friend."
Asked by Iain Goldrein, QC, counsel for Lawson, why the alleged victim had lied, Mr Walsh said it was to get money for a sex change through compensation. Mr Walsh told the court: "I've got no reason and nothing to gain from lying. I've lost two days' work."
The alleged victim then appeared in court, using her new female name. She denied telling Mr Walsh that the allegations had been fabricated. She denied making false allegations to claim compensation, but admitted she was making a claim in a class action lodged about 18 months ago.
Asked by Mr Goldrein how she had planned to fund the sex change, the alleged victim said it was now being funded by the National Health Service. Before she knew the NHS would pay for the treatment, which she will have in Amsterdam, she said that she had intended to pay for it by prostitution.
Lawson's appeal is being heard at the same time as that of another former care home worker, Basil Williams-Rigby, who was jailed for 12 years in August 1999 after he was convicted at Liverpool Crown Court of 18 charges of indecent assault and one charge of a serious sexual assault against four complainants. He was found not guilty of 25 other charges.
Williams-Rigby, 57, and Lawson, who worked at the same approved school, were arrested by Merseyside police in Operation Care, one of the largest inquiries into alleged abuse in children's homes across five local authorities in the 1970s and 1980s.
The appellants said they were convicted on the uncorroborated evidence of complainants, some of whom may have been motivated by possible compensation. Their lawyers say they were unjustly convicted because police "trawled" for victims and used dubious interviewing methods.
Judgment was reserved to a future date.

So in the class I'm taking, we're talking about happiness and kindness this week.
Basically, the Buddhist belief is that the key to true happiness is kindness.
Kindness is not indulgence, though. Kindness is compassion and wisdom and love and generosity. It's figuring out what's needed and providing that. It's not "here, I'll give you whatever you want." It's not being a pushover.
This whole kindness = happiness thing didn't completely resonate with me at first. Because I still wonder if there isn't some internal emotion of happiness that isn't caused by external events and interactions. But the more I think about it, the more it makes sense.
If you believe in the "everything is connected" thing, or the "we're all part of the same world" thing (interdependence, which I have always believed in), then any act of kindness that improves the world, even in the tiniest way, will ultimately result in a more pleasant place in which to live. Which will ultimately make us happier as individuals. If more people are truly happy, that's a good thing.
We're not in this world alone, and our existence and the choices we make impact others. Maybe not in a huge way, but little things add up. So kindness makes a difference.
It's also super important to be kind to yourself, though. You're a living thing. You're also part of the world, part of this life. You entire existence has basically been entrusted to you. Pretty much the sole true responsibility you have in this world is to take care of yourself (Again, not indulgence, but compassion and wisdom and love and generosity.) You deserve your own care and consideration, too.
If you are miserable, it affects how you function and interact in the world, and it does make a difference to others. I mean, we've all had the experience of someone in a crappy mood putting a dark cloud over an otherwise okay day, right? It does matter. If we're in a shit mood, or tired, or overwhelmed, our families are affected. Then they go off into the world and their shit mood rubs off on other people. I know some people don't believe in moods and people's "energy" but I'm someone who really picks up on other people's attitudes and it's hard not to get impacted when someone is walking around with a giant storm cloud over their head, even if that person doesn't mean anything to me.
It's funny, because I've always been big on self-care and being in good health and blah blah blah because of my Spina Bifida, I found out early on that if I didn't take care of my body then I'd end up in the hospital. So it was much easier just to be responsible and approach everything from a perspective of preventing things before they could pop up.
But my mind? That's another story. I'm crazy cruel to myself in my mind. I've made a real effort to stop that the last ten years or so, but everything we learned this week sort of illustrated how much more work I have to do.
A lot of it comes down to comparison. "Comparison is the thief of joy" feels like the truest thing anyone has ever spoken (or written).
I thought that I had it mostly nipped in the bud because I'm 43, I'm beyond the age where things like being beautiful and micro-managing style and worrying about my social status matter in a significant way. I LOVE being an adult, to be honest. I love not being in my teens or 20's. I love not having to worry about that crap anymore. It's such a huge relief.
I'm more concerned with trying to make the world a tiny bit better (if not for grown-up humans, at least for animals and kids). I'm more concerned with being a good role model for Grace, because she does look to me to see how I react and respond to different things. I want to show her that she needs to honor who she is, and work hard at what makes her come alive, and be a kind and compassionate person (but not a sucker.)
But I'm lying to myself if I think I've gotten off the comparison train. I spend a significant amount of time anxious about the way I'm spending my life and what progress I'm making. I spend tremendous amounts of time agonizing over whether what I do is "valid" enough or "worthy" enough. I am constantly asking myself if the things I do, the words I write, the art I make are SIGNIFICANT enough. Are they MEANINGFUL? Do they have some sort of positive impact on the world, or at the very least make someone think?
If not, then it must mean I'm doing something wrong. I'm always aware that there are people who do it so much better than I can. And I think that unless I'm working to reach the level they are at, I'm not doing it right.
Which is ridiculous.
In an effort to explain what I am talking about: Think of your body as a whole. Now imagine if your two hands constantly compared themselves to each other and then felt bad when they found aspects of themselves "lacking" in comparison to the other hand. "My thumb is on the right side." "My pinkie isn't as long as the other pinkie is." etc. If they sat there and compared themselves, every time they did it, they would find something wrong. So the misery would be never-ending.
But in the mechanics and design of the human body, each hand plays a role, right? If they were both exactly the same, there'd be significant problems with function.
That's basically what we do as humans, every day, when we sit around and compare ourselves to other people. We all have different roles to play in this world, in this life. Some of us will have profound and public roles. Some of us will be the tiny little whisper of an idea way behind the scenes. That's just the way it is. We all contribute in our own way. I know this. It makes total sense to me. I believe I am a quiet, behind-the-scenes person. I believe that my role is to raise a happy child, to be part of this little family of mine, to share my life with Tom, and to care for all the animals I have had the profound privilege of sharing my life with. My job is to make this little 1/5th of an acre we live on a peaceful, calm, and safe place for all who reside inside it.
So why do I still sit around and freak out on myself because I'm not producing the kind of art I love to look at? Or because I'm not really interested in home decor or cooking? Or worrying about myself because I have no interest in going to happy hour or parties?
I have given myself the "okay" on all these things a zillion times, I have even proven to myself that stuff like cooking and parties are not really things that add at all to my happiness level (they actually make me crazy), but some little part of me says "well, *they're* all doing it and making a lifestyle out of it, so maybe you're really wrong about this."
The worst thing is agonizing over my art. I'm *so* sick of not letting myself make art because there's not a good enough reason. I know that just being creative itself is a good enough reason, not to mention I enjoy it and it makes me so much less stressed and I love all the aspects of it and I lose myself in it and feel a lot of joy during the process…
BUT I can't just let myself sit down and make art for any of those reasons, it has to be for a specific ACHIEVEMENT. An achievement that someone else has ultimately defined as "suitable." I'm allowed to make art for a class. I give myself permission (sometimes) to make art as part of a larger series (but one that results in a completed project- something to show for all the time and effort.) I will sometimes feel okay about using my art supplies for investigative purposes (for instance, to compare one color to another). And I also allow myself to make art for the purpose of learning how a certain material works.
But making art just because I like it? Not allowed. Nope. Gotta be a good reason, and the reason can't be just because it feels good. But I have no problem with other people making art because it makes them happy. In fact, I think that's the most beautiful and noble and valid reason to do something (as long as it's not hurting anyone). And I want Grace to understand that. Yet I can't let myself do it.
What the heck? Seriously.
Clearly, I have some work to do in this area. And you know what? I want to figure this out once and for all. I may not be able to change my ingrained resistance to making art simply for me, but I know for a fact I can work on changing my habits surrounding it. And I'm going to try really hard to do this. So when the resistance comes up every single day, and all the doubts arise and try to prevent me from sitting down and pulling out my paints, I'll have a solid way of saying "sorry, we're not discussing this" to the guilt police in my head and then I can go make some art.

Jayco is recalling 461 model year 2018 Eagle EA, EB, ED travel trailers.
The federal and cargo carrying capacity (CCC) labels on these vehicles may incorrectly list the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) as 11,750 lbs, when it is 11,700 lbs. If the GVWR is incorrect it can allow the vehicle to be overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
What to do
Jayco will notify owners and provide them with a corrected label, free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin February 28, 2018.

It's Time to Fix Our Roads
Here's food for thought . . . Where does California experience more gridlock – On our state highways, or in our state Capitol?
By Friday, the state Legislature will decide whether to adopt a sensible mix of reforms and revenue to fund improvements to repair our streets and repave our potholes. Reforms are essential to squeeze out the most value of every dollar we already invest to fix our state highways and our local streets and roads. Yet with a funding gap of $59 billion in deferred maintenance just on our state highway system, new revenue is also needed.
After eight months of Legislative discussions, Governor Brown stepped forward last week and proposed a balanced plan that helps ensure we invest in improvements that will save commuters both time and money. With one of every four state highway miles in poor condition, and nearly three of 10 miles of our local streets in equally bad shape, it's time the state Legislature moved forward.
Put simply, if the Legislature cannot move forward to pass a transportation plan which balances needed reforms and necessary revenue, then California commuters can't move forward either. Call your state Legislator today. Let's not let the Legislature kick-the-can down the crumbling road. It's time to act.

What is a Car Seat Stroller Combo
A car seat stroller combo includes generally simply 3 points, a stroller, a suitable baby car seat as well as a car seat base. The infant car seat is very helpful and essential since it makes putting your infant in and out of the vehicle as well as the stroller a breeze. They are commonly rear-facing when installed into a car seat, however deal with the front when broken into a stroller. While you are driving, your baby sleeps comfortably in the car seat as well as you do not also need to wake him/her up at the end of the drive as you could merely open the seat and also relocate onto your stroller with your infant in it. This is why a car seat stroller combo makes for the excellent child travel system.
Do You Need a Car Seat Stroller Combo?
Child safety seat are a should have if you intend to drive about with your newborn in the cars and truck as they make the ride both safer and extra comfortable for your child. You will definitely appreciate the speed with which you can just eliminate your youngster from the cars and truck and put him/her in the cozy stroller during the winter months. Likewise, the complete satisfaction of not needing to wake up your resting infant at the end of the flight is valuable. Currently the question is, should you acquire your baby car seat and your stroller separately, or should you go with the very best baby car seat stroller combo?
- If you do not have a stroller already, I would certainly recommend that you get a correct baby travel system for the following reasons:
- It saves you from the hassles of finding a car seat that's compatible with the stroller of your option and also the other way around.
- It will save you some cash as well, since car seat stroller combo devices are frequently sold at a discounted cost as well as will certainly cost even more if acquired individually. And also, they invariably likewise include the needed seat base. Because the stroller as well as the baby car seat are offered in a combo, they will certainly work with each other as opposed to if both were individually bought products.
What Should You Look for Before Buying the most effective Car Seat and also Stroller Combo for Your Family members?
Prior to you acquire a car seat and stroller combo, right here are a couple of points you ought to consider:
- Although every car seat and also stroller combo from reputed suppliers will only be offered for acquisition after passing the obligatory safety criteria, you can always seek the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Organization or JPMA seal of approval making sure that it's a safe product.
- A 5-point harness system with cushioned bands is preferable on the infant car seat. Additionally, the straps must be adjustable due to the fact that your child will expand, and also grow quickly!
- The infant car seat ought to be properly sized in comparison to your car; you would certainly not want a car seat that's made for an SUV when you intend to install it in your compact automobile.
- Relying on your lifestyle and your budget, the stroller in the combo pack could be a running stroller, a portable umbrella stroller or an all-terrain monster with adequate suspensions and also the latest functions. Set your priorities and afterwards choose wisely. If your day-to-day regimen requires you to pack and dump both the stroller and the infant car seat from your car often, I would directly recommend getting a light-weight car seat stroller combo to earn points less complicated.
- Select a travel system with 3-wheels if you must stroll your child with slim areas, or browse through crowded areas. A large 4-wheel stroller won't provide you with such maneuverability, however will most definitely supply much better stability, in addition to the liberty of strolling over small roadway bumps and also rough-terrain without your child feeling it (unless certainly if you have a 3-wheel jogging or an all-terrain stroller).

This part of the world is currently enjoying an expensive consumer lifestyle. We're slowly but surely being given what the rest of the consumer world recognizes as customer service. But with all the staff training sessions and plethora of new(?) products, do we really care if service is with a smile but the product doesn't live up to advertised quality? Will we part with wads of cash simply?
Yes. No.
I'm a sucker and I spend. My latest acquisition, a new broadband service. 2 to be precise. Maxis Broadband and iZZi. I got a full refund for the latter after only 24 hours. I must admit, iZZi is more cost conscious but reception is slower than Streamyx. I live in the middle of the city where there are 4 antennas covering a combined 53km radius. When I returned the wireless modem and get my refund, the sales staff asked if I lived in a condo cos the higher you go, the better the reception claiming the antennas are placed on hilltops.
I'm sorry. Pardon? RM98 a month. 12 months paid upfront + activation fee. Came home with the modem and CD-ROM. Couldn't install. Drive back in traffic only to be told I needed to download a driver which was not included. Got it. Came back home. Plug and no play. 100kbps was the fastest speed I got for living ground level.
So, I decided to sign an 18 month contract with Maxis Broadband. RM138 a month. Only needed to pay RM100 activation fee. No problems connecting. All sorted in 20 minutes of signing up and logging on. I'm now clicking an average of 650-800kbps at home. 2 Mbps around the city centre. Blazing (for now.) But 18 months, you know?
iZZi and Maxis staff smile a lot. Very friendly. Great.
So how?
We're suckered into a snappy lifestyle.
Slowly but surely, we're losing the battle.
THEY are winning the war.
Let the buyer beware. Blue pill? Red pill?

There is an article in the Guardian today about procurement, and in particular how universities are handling litigation risks by using procurement frameworks and agreements, and moving procurement decisions more centrally. To be fair, the article is more concerned I think with buying paperclips than making enterprise IT decisions, but it did prompt me to reflect on my experiences to date with procurement frameworks for IT solutions.
One issue I've seen with procurement frameworks is inbuilt bias; for example, its quite common to use compliance checkmarks and feature sets for product comparisons. This works reasonably well for most kinds of procurement, but can be highly misleading when procuring software and services. For example, a typical response to this kind of framework in the IT world is to pile on features to fill out the procurement matrix, regardless of whether they are usable, useful, actually work, or even make sense.
Some years ago I was involved as a consultant to create something called the Learning Platform Framework for BECTA, and it certainly suffered from these kinds of problems. Although the framework wasn't intended to be used as a checklist, that was certainly how it was most often used; prompting an MP to raise an Early Day Motion in the Commons criticising the LPF, particularly as it disadvantaged open source solutions such as Moodle. I don't think the LPF did have this kind of bias in its requirements, but applying it, unmodified, as an RFP checklist did create this effect.
For example, a skewed procurement framework would be a simple way for a public procurement to sidestep policies promoting open source and open standards, and keep going back to the same big IT suppliers as before. (More commentary on this particular topic over at Computer Weekly).
I think its also fair to say that a poorly-considered procurement framework can end up creating as many litigation problems as it attempts to solve.
Its interesting that IMS CEO Rob Able's keynote at the CETIS conference last year also made this point about "checkmark interoperability" with this quote from Charles F. Leonhardt, Principal Technologist at Georgetown University:
"Vendors know the difference between clients' asking for standards "compatibility" in order to check off a box on an RFP that is why we must include true, tested, guaranteed interoperability as a priority in our purchasing decisions, and why we must pressure our current support vendors to provide it as a condition of their continuing good business relations with us."
Of course procurement frameworks don't just consider standards compliance but also feature requirements, however the same argument I think often applies. There is a difference between, for example, supporting cloud deployment in theory, and having a system that will actually work when you try to do it. So a procurement framework without a rich evaluation process can simply end up benefitting the supplier willing to stretch the truth the furthest.
(I hated it when salespeople at the company I used to work for would pimp features we'd only added to get into the RFP, and which we all knew didn't really work, rather than emphasise the features we'd put lots of effort into making work really well because customers actually used them. I started to suspect they couldn't actually tell the difference)
So, given all of that, what can be done in practice?
At the University of Bolton a few years back we were faced with the situation of our WebCT VLE coming to its end-of-life, and had to decide whether to purchase Blackboard, or to go with the open source Moodle platform.
The approach we used was to conduct structured user evaluation. Rather than compare feature lists between products, we identified the set of most common tasks performed by users of the current system, and had a number of staff from across different departments perform them using both the systems under evaluation. We could then compare performance and user feedback to inform the purchasing decision.
To support the users, we had some staff from Blackboard along, and we also hired a Moodle consultant for a day (he never had to actually help staff figure out how to do any of the tasks, which was instructive in itself).
This meant there was no inbuilt bias towards having lots of features that may never have been used in practice, although it did mean we had a bias against speculative use; this would have been a problem if it was a completely new system for a new job, but seems a reasonable tradeoff for procuring a more-or-less drop-in replacement for an existing one.
(On the other hand, looking back at the LPF, I'm amazed at how many things were mandated in it that are now largely obsolete, and that was only written in 2006.)
Of course it wasn't just down to user evaluation, as we also had to look at the options for services, hosting and training and integration with our student records system, but these were aspects that could be evaluated by central IT services staff directly.
For example, there are some specific considerations for open source procurement (for which OSSWatch provide some useful decision factors and tips).
Overall, there were few significant differences in user experience and performance of tasks between systems, so the decision was made principally on these other factors (which is where Moodle won out).
Interestingly enough, if we were to conduct this process again, we would now have the option of inviting Blackboard to tender for Moodle services and hosting, which perhaps underscores the point. In the current environment, the product decision is just one of several linked considerations, and not even the most important one. Many suppliers are now happy to provide a range of products including open-source offerings, instead promoting their integration, hosting and support services – or brokering and bundling services offered by third parties.
So, if I were to do it all again..? Well I think I'd steer well clear of the compliance/requirements checklist model we had for the LPF, and focus more on an open evaluation process – this is where I think the Guardian article gets it right, about tracking communications and interactions so that suppliers have confidence there isn't some sort of backroom deal going on they aren't party to. I think the user evaluation approach we used at Bolton was a good example, but only fits some types of procurement.
For requirements I'd want to make sure there was sufficient explanation of the background and context – so that suppliers could answer to the business need rather than just tick a feature or comply with a standard. And for standards I'd make sure there was an open process to ensure real working interoperability in the context of where the systems were to be used rather than just compliance assertions and checkmarks.
However, while I agree with the Guardian article that procurement frameworks are certainly going to be even more prevalent for general procurement in Universities, I think in the area of IT solutions and services there are no easy answers, and I can't see an LPF-type exercise being repeated any time soon.

When Edward Loveden Loveden decided to build Buscot Park, he chose a local prominence, then called Farnhill, or Farn Hill, for the site of his new mansion. This land lay outside the historic Loveden estate, forming part of the adjacent Throckmorton estate. Loveden paid the existing tenant a premium in order to acquire the lease. The hill, to the east of Buscot village, commanded northward views to the Lechlade-Faringdon turnpike and to the flat lands beyond the Thames. John Rocque's map of around 1760 shows a barn and an avenue close to the site; both were removed when adjacent farmland and heathland were enclosed to create the first park and garden.
The design of the house was once attributed to Loveden himself, but it is now known that he also employed James Darley (1744-1821) to build the mansion and main phase of the park. Darley, of Hullavington, in Wiltshire, was described in his own day as 'an able and experienced architect', and had previously been employed as clerk of works at Charlton House, near Malmesbury, during alterations carried out for the Earl of Suffolk in 1772-6.
Another possibility is that Buscot was designed by William Newton (1735-90), a London architect who, like Loveden, was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. Newton published the first English translation of the works of the ancient Roman architect, Vitruvius, and so was steeped in the neo-classical style. His papers include reference to a drawing that he exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1780 of a house 'now building in Berkshire', which could well be Buscot Park, though the drawings themselves have not survived. Adam and Wyatt have also been cited in the past as having had a hand in the design, but no reference to any of the four possible architects has been found in the building accounts.
The one architect how is mentioned in the accounts is James Paine Junior, who was employed in 1782 to assess the cost of the work completed so far, and who supplied chimney-pieces worth £105 in 1783. As the only professional architect mentioned in the accounts, Paine cannot be ignored, and though his other designs are quite unlike Buscot Park, it is possible that he was responsible for the interiors.
No matter who designed the house, the architectural historian Christopher Hussey wrote in 1940 that:
'The designer of Buscot displayed excellent taste and no little skill in the management of his proportions and his choice of detail. He owed much to Adam, obviously, and perhaps to the pattern-books and moulds of the admirable tradesmen of the day. But the plan of the house is conventional, with its hall and saloon in the centre of either facade and transverse corridor, deriving rather from earlier, Palladian, tradition. As was frequent in the Age of Landscape, the principal rooms are on a piano nobile approached by the broad steps to the front door and from the windows of which a prospect is enjoyed over the surrounding countryside.'
Begun in 1780, the house was built by local craftsmen using local materials, but with mahogany doors, Westmorland slates and block steps and landings of Portland stone, all acquired from a sale by Darley's former employer at Charlton House. Stones, lead and further slates were also bought from Kempsford House, in Gloucestershire. Roofing began in October 1781, and an early view of the new house, painted by Joseph Farington, RA, was engraved by J.C. Stadler and published in June 1793. This shows the double flight of stone steps, centred on the nine-bay south front, with its pedimented three-bay centre and the seven-windowed orangery to the east of the mansion. To the west, at the foot of Farn Hill, are the approach road and the turnpike lodge. Further west, the clock tower, with its turret clock and cupola, is visible, rising from the roof of the courtyard stable block. This, along with the adjoining kitchen garden - broadly oval with an outer wall of brick and an octagonal inner core - was built during 1781, along with the mansion works. Fruit-tree planting is recorded in the autumn of 1782.
The Park
Parkland work commenced in earnest as the mansion works were nearing completion in 1782. Park paling was completed during the summer of 1782, when deer were bought. Underground drainage was carried out in the spring of 1782, followed by the digging of the fishpond in the summer, and tree planting in the autumn. The sward was sown in the spring of 1783. These initial works comprised 120 acres of parkland pasture, 5 acres of water, 23 acres of plantation and 5 acres of kitchen garden, plus one acre of shrubbery around the house. The layout made the best use of the local topography, and its simple arrangement created a setting for the mansion that echoed the English Landscape fashion of the period.
Between 1786 and 1792, Loveden spent the considerable sum of £60,000 in order to expand the estate by purchasing numerous local landholdings. In 1788 he acquired the neighbouring Throckmorton estate, and so became the owner of the Farn Hill land on which his house was built, and by 1798 he owned most of Buscot parish, as well as parts of Eaton Hastings, Coxwell and Faringdon. To the east of the house he created a new 20-acre lake fed by an existing stream; to the west he extended the deer park and to the south he took more heathland and pasture into the park, adding a further 107 acres overall. The lake was a particular feature, creating long views across the water from the north front of the house to an eye-catching bridge that closed the eastern end of the lake.
The Estate Matures
J.S.Kell's mid-nineteenth-century lithograph of Buscot Park shows the mansion in its mature setting some seventy years after its completion. Further changes and additions were prevented by financial constraints and Robert Campbell, the new owner from 1859, seems to have cared more for his experiments in the industrialisation of the estate than in changing the design. A number of anonymous and finely executed sketches have been found, some dated August 1859, which indicate that Campbell was toying with various ideas for reworking the mansion, deploying an eclectic mix of Italianate towers, mixed with Gothic and Elizabethan windows.
In the event, Campbell's enhancements to the house were far more modest, consisting of a new porch and flight of steps to the south front, and the addition of gabled dormers and balustrading to the eighteenth-century parapet. The orangery was demolished in order to create Italianate terraced gardens to the east and north of the house, with broad paths and geometrically shaped lawns, supported by bastion walls, and embankments. A new approach to the house was created by laying out a new carriage drive from the south front of the house leading eastwards through woodland and offering fleeting glimpses both of the house and of the lake.
Harold Peto & Ernest George
Campbell's improvements to the park and gardens, along with his creation of a number of boundary plantations and his opening up of various vistas, laid the foundation for the most exciting phase in the garden's development. When Alexander Henderson acquired Buscot Park in 1889, he employed the Ernest George Partnership to enlarge the mansion and build various cottages, farm and public buildings in Buscot village. It was through Ernest George that the renowned landscape architect, Harold Peto, was then invited to Buscot to work on improving the links between the house and the lake.
Peto was a former partner of Ernest George, leaving in the early 1890s to establish what subsequently developed into a substantial garden design practice. Peto worked much in the Mediterranean and was a leading exponent of the revived principles of Renaissance garden design, as well as an avid collector of antique, Gothic and Renaissance architectural fragments. At Buscot Peto laid out the renowned water garden between the north-front terraces and the lake. He also added a new forecourt to the south front of the mansion, adding balustraded walls and stone gate-piers. Next to the forecourt he planted a semi-circular sweep of yew hedging to contain the figure of Diana returning from the Chase, which he had purchased in Rome.
Geddes Hyslop
Ironically, the 2nd Lord Faringdon's first action on inheriting Buscot in 1934 was to remove his predecessors' additions, including Campbell's elaborate porch and balustrade and the 1st Lord Faringdon's large west wing, which marred the restrained lines of the original Darley and Loveden design. His architect was Geddes Hyslop, who designed, at the same time, the two balancing pavilions that now stand west and east of the house.
Today the main elevation is much as it must have appeared in 1780. The severity of the composition is relieved by the slight projection of the three central bays, which support a pediment enriched with a flowing foliage design and bearing the Faringdon crest. A broad flight of steps, flanked by bronze centaurs after the antique originals in the Capitoline Museum, gives access to the house on the piano nobile.
To the south, Hyslop introduced the wrought-iron screen and stone gate-piers on a ha-ha wall and linked the south-front lawn to the kitchen garden by creating a hedged flight of steps, centred on the pond at the centre of the walled garden. The north-front lawn was linked to the Peto water garden by semi-circular stone steps, and a radiating patte d'oie (goose-foot) of avenues and garden enclosures was laid out to the south of the Peto garden, aligned on the mansion.
Recent Garden Works
The gardens and grounds have continued to evolve under the present Lord Faringdon. As well as adding a fountain to the north-front pool and a new avenue to the south east of the mansion as part of the twentieth-century garden circuit, he has been most active within the walls of the eighteenth-century kitchen garden. New works have included the richly planted borders in the former melon garden, designed by the late Peter Coats, and the Four Seasons garden, laid out within the octagonal garden walls

Congratulations on finding love again and deciding to remarry!
But as you're probably aware, while marriage is an serious emotional commitment, it has significant financial implications as well, which is why it's essential for second-time brides and grooms to engage in thoughtful financial discussions and planning before saying "I do."
For starters, there are many variables in a second marriage that are typically not factors in a first marriage.
In a second marriage, there may be children from first marriages to consider, and, of course, you both bring previous financial experiences, expectations, and obligations to the new union.
For example, have you been financially independent for many years, and now need to learn how to manage finances with someone else? Are you comfortable combining finances, or do you want to keep some aspects separate? Will either of you require a prenuptial agreement to protect assets? Will divorce agreements impact your finances?
Jennifer Williams, a BBVA financial planner, says communication is critical in a second marriage, as you will need to address issues that probably didn't exist the first time around.
"Make sure you understand what the obligations are from the divorce decree, and then make sure all of your beneficiaries and estate planning documents are in order and updated," Williams said.
Some provisions in divorce decrees are legal, non-negotiable obligations, such as alimony and child support. However, some states may allow minor adjustments if one partner remarries. Before you marry and combine finances, Williams recommends consulting an attorney to ensure a clear understanding of the decree and your soon-to-be spouse's obligations.
Have a clear understanding of whether you want to keep separate checking and savings accounts, or open a joint account. Also, set some ground rules about how you want to communicate about spending — is there a dollar amount you can agree on that triggers a conversation? And make sure you are on the same page when it comes to paying bills, saving money, or overseeing investments.
And it's important to discuss retirement savings goals and accounts. "Some divorce decrees give a certain amount of retirement assets to the ex-spouse," Williams said. "It might have to get split, depending on what stage and how newly divorced they are."
Make sure to discuss how will you pay down credit cards, loans, or mortgage debt. Will each person be responsible for the debt they bring to the marriage, or will you work together to pay it off? How will you utilize and manage credit cards? Will you have separate or joint accounts?
If there are children from the previous marriage or marriages, how property and assets will be distributed upon either spouse's death is always an important issue to discuss and settle before marriage. Williams stresses "all beneficiary and estate planning documents should be in order and updated."
Even if there are not children, it's essential to update these important documents. Review any existing wills and trusts before you marry, Williams recommends, and once you've tied the knot, make sure to update documents as soon as possible. Old language leaving assets to a former spouse or other family members may not be reversible, even if you are remarried.
Before you remarry, review old policies and decide if you need to phase them out, ramp them up, or add new kinds of insurance to the mix. What about life insurance, disability, long-term care, and health insurance? Do you need to combine insurance accounts or update beneficiaries on any existing insurance policies?
Money is one of the top issues that divides married couples. According to Divorce Magazine, financial incompatibility is the second most common reason couples split. Most experts agree, however, communication can help couples find common ground when it comes to money.
"Every couple is different, but they definitely do need to sit and have the conversation to understand the finances," Williams said.

Glued to MiLB.com, ready to go to watch the B-Mets open the EL playoffs. Noah Syndergaard takes the mound tonight. This is not game diary, per se, more so a running look at Drago in his last start of the year. Also, I will be "blogging" real time, so it's going to read disjointed and jumpy at times….im not sorry.
Bottom of the 1st:
Mason Williams at the plate: Three fastballs to start the night. 1-1 count, Williams taps a 98 MPH heater right back to Noah. Easy first out. Fastball explodes
Ramon Flores at the plate: Seems to be getting squeezed a bit on 1-0 pitch, but could be off center camera angle. 2-1 FB hit to Tovar deep in the hole, infield single. (of note, 7 straight FBs.)
Jose Pirela at the plate: FB to start. Even from the stretch, Noah is bringing effortless heat. 0-1, CB comes out, low and outside. Good "try and get him to chase" pitch. 1-1 FB, lined into right. Left it up a bit, and Jose went the other way nicely.
Gary Sanchez at the plate: 1st pitch CB, MUCH better this time. Freezes Sanchez. 0-1 curve, not as good. 1-1 FB outside, at 96. 2-1 FB blows by Sanchez at 97, late life on it. Sanchez out on strikes, although might not have swung through.
Tyler Austin at the plate: FB to start. GAS. 0-1 CB bounced. 1-1 CB left up, and Austin takes Noah to the left-center wall for a double.
Kyle Roller at the plate: Roller rolls over a 97 MPH FB to ground out in front of the plate.
Not the start I am sure Syndergaard wanted, but the pitch action looks good.
Bottom of the 2nd:
Ben Gamel at the plate: FB to start, good life. 0-1 pitch, Gamel swings through another FB. 0-2 FB inside at 97. 1-2 CB DEVISTATING action, right on the outside corner. Best pitch of his night.
Reegie Corona at the plate: Corona swings through first pitch FB. 0-1 FB is lofted to dead center. Pitch was up, but Corona could not really square it up.
Ali Castillo at the plate: First pitch FB. 0-1 CB is again NASTY, right on the outside of the pate. 0-2 change (I think his first of the night) is wasted in the dirt. 1-2 FB a little low, great location though. 2-2 98mph FB fouled off. Count runs full. 3-2 FB (according to field gun) at 101mph RIGHT on the outside corner. Reverse K to end the inning.
Command was MUCH better here. His pitches have so much life, if he can continue to command like this, look out. The CB to strike out Gamel was filthy in its action AND location. (late P.S. confirmation from @zachmort of Baseball Prospectus, "true" guns around him had last pitch to Castillo at 100mph. Please excuse me as I take a victory lap around my house)
Bottom of the 3rd:
Mason Williams at the plate: 1st pitch FB, outside. Yikes, 1-0 FB was almost a no movement change…no chance for Mason. 1-1 FB lined out. Noah is getting into a nice groove right now.
Ramon Flores at the plate: CB to start, FILTHY.. FB to follow up, Flores WAY behind on it. 0-2 FB, good golly, 97 at the letters, Flores FLAILS.
Jose Pirela at the plate: First pitch up high. 1-0 CB, again, great command, just outside. 2-0 FB grounded weakly to Muno.
Nice 8 pitch inning for Noah there. This is his last start of the season, so it should be interesting, especially with Sandy A in attendance, how long they let him go. But right now? He is cruising. Mets fans…….get excited.
Bottom of the 4th:
Gary Sanchez at the plate: first pitch FB at 96mph. Yikes. Follows with another FB just inside…set up pitch? Yup, 1-1 FB BURNED onto the outside corner for a swinging strike. 1-2 FB at 98, at Sanchez's eyes…sit down.
Tyler Austin at the plate: 1st pitch FB. Austin, another piece of good hitting, takes it the other way for another double. Austin, highly touted….deserves it.
Kyle Roller at the plate: Roller takes FB up high. OMG. 1-0 CB, unhittable. 1-1 FB just off the outside corner. The command is really good. 2-1 FB, swing and a miss. Another flail. Couple of 2-2s fouled off. Third one fouled off. Good work by Roller here, first batter to truly battle. FB gets Roller to hit one to Tovar for a close out.
Ben Gamel at the plate: (apologies, coverage cut out for a bit) Hits FB up the middle that Tovar can't field cleanly. Run comes in.
Reegie Corona at the plate: FB first pitch swinging, flies out.
As always for me, I am not TOO concerned about the outcome of the game, I am more concerned about how the prospect looks. So, yes, Noah has given up 3 runs, but I am in love with the action, command and life. This is a BIG time pitcher we are watching.
Bottom of the 5th:
Ali Castro is at the plate: Wow, 1st pitch FB, blows it by him. 0-1 FB fouled back. 0-2 CB, again, a try and hit purpose pitch. 1-2, FB dribbled to Noah.
Mason Williams is at the plate: 1st pitch FB, high strike. 0-1 FB at around 96 buzzes one high. 1-1 FB fouled straight back. Yikes….98 on the 1-2 FB. 6 Ks.
Ramon Flores is at the plate: First pitch off speed, not a great pitch. 1-0 CB, dirty again. 1-1 FB, up high. 2-1 FB hit up the middle for a 1B. Good piece of hitting.
Jose Pirela is at the plate: First pitch CB in the dirt. 1-0 FB is ridiculously good on the outside part of the plate…and low. Unhittable. 1-1 pitch is dribbled to 2B….however, Muno was covering 2nd on a hit and run. Bad luck there.
Gary Sanchez is at the plate: 1st pitch, lost the CB up and in. 1-0 FB is a little low. Still easy action. 2-0 FB is DEAD ON target, inside and low. 2-1 FB popped out of play. This should be an interesting pitch selection. First 2-2 FB is fouled off. Second one is as well. (95 according to the gun) 2-2 CB, NICE pitch, Sanchez taps one to Syndergaard.
It's been a LOT of innings and a LONG season for Noah, we might be seeing a bit of fatigue right now. Don't get me wrong, it's not as if he was down to 88 on his FB, or he was laboring by any stretch, but the long season may be catching up to him. That said, that was a GUTTY inning from Drago, getting out of a couple of weak hits without any real damage. Again, Mets fans, get excited.
Bottom of the 6th:
Tyler Austin is at the plate: Austin has given Noah fits tonight…this should be good. (and the feed went out…)
Kyle Roller is at the plate: (feed went out again, sorry) got back in time to see a 3-1 FB go low and issue his first walk.
Ben Gamel is at the plate: First pitch is low and outside. Coming up on 90 pitches. 1-0 pitch is a beaut, swing and a miss. 1-1 FB is JUST inside, at 97. 2-1 pitch is a fastball swung through. Life is STILL there on FB. 2-2 is taken up and in. BIG pitch here. 3-2 FB PAINTS the corner, another reverse K. WOW. Such late life.
Reegie Corona is at the plate: CB to start, bends over (again) for strike 1. 0-1 is up high, FB. Still exploding. 1-1 FB is waived at by Corona. 1-2 is fouled off, another FB that looks (at least on iPad TV to be about 120mph) OMG, this might be his last pitch of the night, but a RIDICULOUS CB sits Corona down.
Ok, that curveball to end the 6th was in the top three pitches he has dealt tonight. For someone whose curve has been "questioned"…..it looks pretty good to me. (I am not a scout obviously) Give him another 2 months in the minors next year to set back Super 2……he will have a bigger impact than Wheeler (whom I love as well) next year.

Pawel Fajdek drops 81.71m bomb at Bydgoszcz Cup 2016
At the sixteenth European Athletics Festival in Bydgoszcz, Paul Fajdek underlined his great shape he is in right now. Fajdek dropped a massive bomb with the 7kg hammer. His last-round throw of 81.71m meant a new world lead.
With each attempt, Fajdek would have won the competition. But it was the last round that produced a new world leading throw. Up to today, Fajdek was leading the world's rank list with his 80.66m throw in Ostrava in May. During the last attempt, Pawel threw 81.71m showing his ambition for the gold medal at the European Championships and the Rio Olympic Games. The world champion from Beijing clearly won the competition without a doubt.
Pawel Fajdek:
"I am not surprised by this results," Fajdek said. "I told myself that in each competition I must throw over 80 metres. I am very glad and that was kind of a gift for my 27th birthday (saturday)".
In the men's shot put competition two big men were fighting for the victory. The Olympic Champion Tomasz Majewski is still struggling with his form and became second with his best effort of 20.17m. The youngster Konrad Bukowiecki won the competition with another great showdown of 20.83m. Georgi Ivanov from Bulgaria placed 3rd with 19.56m.
Pawel Fajdek:
We got this! 81.71 wl :)))) 3 weeks here I'm going back for more
Tomasz Majewski:
Lack of energy, lack of results… No sign of power. And now the train home
