When Hillary Clinton-backer Kathy Hammer offered up her Astor Courts estate for Chelsea's wedding, it also presented a great opportunity to sell the palatial pad, which has been stuck on the market since last October with a $12 million price tag. Chelsea's wedding tomorrow to Marc Mezvinsky "was like manna from heaven for Kathy," a friend said, because she and her real-estate hubby, Arthur Seelbinder, are desperate to sell.
They paid $3.2 million for the five-bedroom manse in 2005 and poured in $9 million more to restore it. Rhinebeck real-estate agent Julie Mayer of Century 21 told us there's a strong chance the mansion could attract a buyer among the 500 wedding guests, although more likely for about $10 million. But Anita Ferri Realty's Chuck Ferri said even the Clinton cachet can't sell it in a tough market. "If George Washington himself came back from the dead [and stayed there]," Ferri said, "that house is still gonna sit there."

For most employees, the workplace is more than just where they earn money, said Heiner Bielefeldt, UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion.
"Besides providing an income, the workplace constitutes an important part of an employee's everyday world, with high relevance for individual self-esteem, social connections and inclusion into the community and the society at large," he said.
Because of this high importance to the workplace in everyday life, the issue of religious intolerance and discrimination within employment must be tackled, Bielefeldt said.
Bielefeldt made his comments as part of his presentation of his report on the elimination of all forms of religious intolerance, during the 69th session of the United Nations General Assembly, Third Committee. His report focused on freedom of religion or belief in the workplace, an area, he said that needed more study because of how central a role the workplace plays in people's lives.
There are many reasons for religious and belief intolerance in the workplace, Bielefeldt explained. These include previous prejudices against religious or minority beliefs which may poison the atmosphere of a work place, or even public and private employers invoking the notion of "neutrality" of the corporate image to restrict the open display of religious identities at work.
There are also indirect forms of religious and belief discrimination, often hidden by seemingly "neutral" rules, Bielefeldt said. For example, holiday leave typically reflect the dominant religious culture.
Quite often intolerance is based on misunderstandings, Bielefeldt said. For instance there could be an assumption that measures of reasonable accommodation for religion or belief would result in favouritism at the expense of the principle of equality.
"Combating discrimination requires a comprehensive approach of tackling both direct and indirect forms of discrimination based on religion or belief," he said. "A culture of trustful and respectful communication is needed in order to identify the specific needs of persons belonging to religious or belief minorities."
Bielefeldt made a number of recommendations in combating direct and indirect forms of discrimination based on religion or belief. These included States establishing better anti-discrimination laws, which would cover employment in public and private institutions; States providing diversity training and advisory services for public and private employers concerning religious tolerance; and employers developing policies of reasonable accommodation of religious or belief diversity as well as contextualising the application of the principle of equality at the workplace.
He said any limitations of the right to manifest one's religion or belief in the workplace, if deemed necessary, must always be specific and narrowly defined; and be necessary to pursue a legitimate purpose, as well as proportionate to the said purpose.
Public and private institutions can successfully negotiate ways of accommodating religious and belief diversity, Bielefeldt said.
"In short, provided there is good will on all sides, practical solutions can be found in most cases," he said.

The current owner or landlord is responsible for arranging a housing inspection. After the unit has passed the inspection, the new tenant or owner completes the application for Residential Occupancy Permit and pays a $45 charge. The application must be completed and payment must be made before the permit certificate is issued. If you are financing the home purchase, most lenders will require you to have the occupancy permit prior to closing the loan.
You make a structural change in the building (e.g., you want to move a staircase).
You make a change to the light and/or ventilation (e.g., you want to make a window smaller or larger).
You want to change the ingress/egress of the unit (e.g., you want to close off a door to the outside).

Chapter 39
The next morning Mandy wakes up from a bad dream. She sees Lee sleeping beside her in the bed. It was only 5 am but she couldn't sleep. She slowly gets out of bed and gets to the bathroom closing the door. She had to make a plan. After the shower the night before, she had to find a towel herself. He didn't talk to the rest of the night. She knew as soon as he would wake up, he would use her again. Running away wouldn't help. Getting his phone would also be risky. The only way was to get attention from a stranger. She uses the toilet without flushing it. After washing her hands and face, she slowly unlocks the bathroom door. He's lying on his back with the sheet only covering his lower body. She stands a little further from the bed to look at him. There was a time when she really had fallen in love with him but now she could only feel disgust. How could things go so wrong? She gets to the closet where her clothes were. She tries to be as quiet as possible. Fully clothed she gets to the front door and carefully opens it. Suddenly she feels a hand on her shoulder.
"Where do you think you're going?"
She closes her eyes while standing facing the door. She's about to cry.
"Nowhere" She manage to say
He wraps his arms around her waist from behind and kisses her ear.
"Then come back to bed" He whispers
She's about to give in but then snaps out of it. If he wanted to continue to play she could do it too. She turns around and looks up at him.
"Let's get some breakfast first" She smiles while touching his left ear
"That can wait" He tries to open her jeans but she takes his hand
"I'm really hungry"
"Then get down on your knees" He tries to drag her down but she refuses
"I mean real food"
"Are you trying to get difficult again because then you're going to be tied down" He gets upset and grabs her left wrist
She wouldn't let this intimidate her.
"Let go of me. I'm not afraid of your threats" She wriggle herself out
When she's about to walk pass him, he violently grabs her arm. He forces her against the wall and kisses her hard. Even if she tries to get loose, his grip tightens. He's so furious, he could hurt her badly.
"You are my whore and you can't afford to trick me" He raises his voice while banging her head against the wall
She starts to cry. Her plan had failed once again. He forces her to turn around while pulling her jeans down. There was nothing she could do. He takes her quickly from behind and then withdraws. She collapses on the floor.
"That's my whore" He pants and then goes to the bathroom, leaving her there
Her confident is short-lived. She was too afraid to stand against him. Her crying doesn't stop for a while. She sits on the floor with her knees bent to her chest. Her face is covered with her palms and the tears running down her cheeks. She startles when he gets back from the bathroom.
"Get up" He stands in front of her with a towel around his waist
When she doesn't he grabs her arm and makes her stand up. He runs his thumb across her face to dry her eyes.
"You know what's gonna happen if you don't obey me" He looks in her eyes "If I tell you to get on your knees, you do it straight away. If you don't I swear I hurt you so bad you'll wish you'll never disobeyed me"
She was scared and he notices but that just made him even more aroused. Something had happened during the night but she didn't know what. He presses his body closer to hers and kisses her passionately. She could feel his bulge against her which meant it was time to pleasure him again. But by her surprise he moves away from her.
"We should get out of here. We still have a long way to go" He walks to the closet and takes out the suitcase to back their things
20 minutes later they're on the road again. She was tired but was too nervous to sleep. She wanted to know where they were heading. It was all quiet in the car. He concentrated on the driving and she on him. They had left in quite a hurry which made her wonder what was really going on. How could she have been so stupid to believe what he had said to her during their affair? They had all been lies from the start. Maybe that was his plan all along, to flirt and allure her to his sick games. Her thinking about all of this, he notices she's looking at him. She startles when he starts talking.
"You can't take your eyes of me, can you?" He smiles at her but she looks away
She looks out of the window. He lays his hand on her left knee and up her thigh. They were driving through the desert so there was no traffic. With one hand on the steering wheel and the other on her thigh, she could hear his heavy breathing. Suddenly he puts on the brakes so she has to look his way. He starts to laugh. She didn't find it amusing at all but she was too scared to show motion. What was wrong with him? She was familiar with his mood changes but they seemed to gotten worse.
"Sorry about that. You're just too easy to fool"
She was even more confused.
"Oh lighten up" He was upset and starts the engine to continue driving
She had enough. She picks up the courage.
"What's wrong with you?" She looks at him upset
"Shut up whore. You're not allowed to talk" He looks her way
They were a middle of nowhere so she couldn't run nor could she be safe but enough was enough. He could kill her even.
"I'm not gonna shut. You hurt me so many times and I'm not gonna take it anymore" She yells at him
He doesn't say anything. He just keeps driving. Once in a while he looks at her in anger. They drive a while and then he stops.
"Get the hell out of my car or I'll kill you" He was furious
She looks at him in shock.
"Did you hear me? Get out" He continues
They were in a middle of a sandy road and nothing in sight. Was he gonna leave her without water? When she doesn't, he gets out of the car and gets to the passenger's side to open the door. He grabs her arm and pulls her out. Still in shock she sits on the ground without reacting to what just happened. He gets back to his car and speeds away. Before she even realizes, he's gone. She starts to cry hysterically. If this was his way of saying, you're history, then that message had gone through.

The first purchase consisted of two acrylic lipstick storage units and a brush tree of which I raved about in this post. The shipping was fast, the package only took two weeks to arrive from China and the quality of the product was amazing! You can find the black acrylic brush tree here for around 8€. However, I have more brushes than the 26 slots available in the one I bought, so together with Fran from Being Cute is not a Crime, we ordered another one from a different seller which also was slightly cheaper. I haven't received the second one yet, but I am expecting the same quality.
Enthousiastic from my first experience I went on a bit of an Aliexpress binge and ordered a bunch of other stuff. I really wanted a safe place to store my brushes while traveling so I ordered a brush cup holder in this pretty mint green with gold pattern, right before finding this cup holder in my drugstore (sigh). Then I went on the hunt for some good eyeshadow brushes, since I am always using the same few brushes that I love, I thought of looking for cheaper dupes.
I have never tried Sigma brushes but decided to order the dupes for the E30 Pencil Brush and the E45 Tapered Blending Brush. You can see them here compared to similar brushes from my collection. Both of them feel very soft, are made of natural bristles (not synthetic that is), and cost only 2.50€. The E30 is slightly longer than my Zoeva 230 Pencil brush and fuller than the Boozyshop version. The E45 is similar to my all time favorite Zoeva 231 Petit Crease, but with longer bristles and more give to it, promising a softer blend.
The real shocker was this 4 piece goat hair eyeshadow brush set featuring dupes of the most famous MAC blending brushes for under 3€. Of the original MAC I only own the 217 and the knock-off is not a perfect dupe but close enough. Again the bristles are longer, but the quality of these is again great, especially for the price. In the picture above you see them compared with my Zoeva brushes: the chinese 224 with the Zoeva 228 Crease, the 217 with the MAC 217 and Zoeva 227 Soft Definer, the 239 with the Zoeva 234 Smokey Shader, and the 219 with the 231 Petit Crease. They feel of course of a bit lower quality than their more expensive counterparts but I hope they will withstand washing without shedding too many bristles, will keep you posted.
Finally the last order I placed was for two empty magnetic palettes since my z-palettes were getting crowded. Main reason for that being that Makeup Geek eyeshadows are available on BeautyBay since yesterday evening and of course I ordered a few of the new matte eyeshadows. I am a big fan of depotting and storing most of my eyeshadows in magnetic palettes, since it makes for an easy storage and I can see all my shadows at a glance, without having to open 20 palettes to get the colors I want. So far I own four ZPalettes: one Extra Large, two Large and one Small, but with more lonely nights of depotting-frenzy they have quickly filled up. With the ZPalette Large and XLarge priced at 20 and 26€ respectively (here), I was super happy to find a similar product for half the price. The Aliexpress Large Magnetic Palettes retail for 23€ for a set of 2, of which you can change the style you prefer. Of course I picked the largest sized palettes (25 x 14 cm) with a clear front window. You can see them in the picture compared to the ZPalettes and the Nabla Liberty Twelve. The Zpalette XL is slightly bigger and can fit 35 eyeshadow pans (MAC, MUG) in 5 rows of 7, whereas the Aliexpress fit 32 eyeshadows in 4 rows of 8, with half a centimeter extra space all around.
Overall I am extremely happy with all my purchases and highly recommend checking out the website if you're looking to save a bit on makeup tools and storage. I am sure these will not be the last bits I buy for sure (lol).
Have you tried these bargain chinese shops? Found any hidden gems?

Since 2012, George Yohrling, PhD has served as the Senior Director, Mission and Scientific Affairs for the Huntington's Disease Society of America (HDSA). In this video, he discusses current treatment options for patients, as well as therapies in the pipeline and why it's such an exciting time to be a part of the Huntington's Disease (HD) research community.
Yohrling: In the future, and hopefully within the next couple of years, we'll see an onslaught of other Huntingtin-lowering technologies coming into the clinic. Voyager and Genzyme-Sanofi, UniQure, Spark Therapeutics in Philadelphia – All of them are going after a viral-mediated approach using RNAi, so this would involve a direct injection of an adeno-associated virus into the brain of HD patients to deliver an RNA-interfering compound or drug, which would then, hopefully, have the same result as the antisense oligonucleotides. They're a few years away from the clinic, but there are other therapies currently in the clinic, but they are primarily looking to affect some of the symptoms associated with HD.
It used to be called "Huntington's Chorea." Now, it's not called that anymore, it's Huntington's disease because we know that HD is far more than just a movement disorder. It's a triad of symptoms – it's motor, it's cognitive, and it's psychiatric. Families and caregivers know that it's really not the motor that's the most debilitating. It's that cognitive, and it's the psychiatric; those are the symptoms that are most debilitating. Those are the ones that keep families or patients from working and maintaining a job. Those will get them out of the house and into a facility. We want to develop drugs that could hopefully impact those symptoms. There's a company called Azovan Pharmaceuticals that's testing a compound that's a vasopressin 1A antagonist. It's called the STARE study, and it's currently recruiting in the United States. This is to test their compound to see if it can impact the irritability and aggression commonly seen in HD patients……..

Significant differences in the susceptibility to the same concentration of anesthetic at a particular effector site may result from differential genetic expression.
The current study investigated the genetic basis for differences in propofol-induced cardiovascular depression by comparing different strains of rats with distinct phenotypic sensitivity to anesthetics.
There are pharmacogenomic differences in Dahl Salt Sensitive rats compared with Brown Norway control rats manifesting as enhanced cardiovascular sensitivity to propofol. This is attributable in part to altered renin gene function in the Dahl strain.

syncing file systems… done
I was very surprised because I did:
1) Solaris update via ORACLE repository ( almost 2.5gb with latest SRU )
2) OSC cluster installation via ORACLE repository
3) Review of ORACLE checklist
For this issue we opened a case to ORACLE we it suggested to replace the motherboard.
We saw the alarm on ILOM too and from SP system , so we tought too about a real hardware problem.
A technician replaced the motherboard and we still had the same issue!!
We saw that boot out of the cluster worked , so we began to be suspicious about the cluster.
With beadm utility , i made a lot of tests and experiments , no one worked.
I called an expert collegue , Daniele Traettino , and together we made a new installation with scinstall.
We disabled the global fencing and the first boot worked , without any warning about MPT SAS or panic!
I did not think about to disable the global fencing yet , because in my experience I never faced any issue about it during the first installation!
we saw then that the issue was related with fencing.
I made different tests after:
1) Active global fencing and reboot – got a new kernel panic
2) Disable fencing on local disks and active global fencing – it worked
3) Active fencing on local disks with different policies ( pathcount for example ) – got a new kernel panic
So the solution is to disable fencing on local SAS disks. I used this command:
cldev set -p default_fencing=nofencing DID_of_local_SAS_disk
I think this can happen on other systems with internal SAS disks.
I hope for a fix soon from ORACLE 🙂

One of the major life threatening illnesses in which a person cannot overcome is the uncontrolled or urges to drink alcohol. Commonly, the main reason why people indulge themselves to heavy drinking is to find other means to draw their attention out from their problems.
They do not realize that this habit has become a problem to the point that their alcohol intakes are already affecting all areas of their lives. There are many options that exist for those who are seeking treatment for alcoholism. Going into alcohol rehabilitation facilities is one great option to fight this type of illness.
Taking less alcohol can sometimes be treated using outpatient facilities where patients are being granted to go home to perform sessions with therapists, doctors, and other professionals. This helps patients to stand all throughout the addiction treatment process. Also, outpatient facilities are options for those who have finished inpatient treatment, yet want to pursue and ask for additional support. On the other hand, inpatient facilities where the patient lives while having treatment are generally for those with severe alcoholism.
These alcoholics cannot respond to outpatient treatment and requires consultation and monitoring care. Inpatient treatment includes an intense exploration of the past of the alcohol-abused patient, the patient's present lifestyle as well as the understanding of the coping skills that will help him as he left the facility. Most staff treatment facilities are being seen on alcohol rehabilitation facilities. With the full assistance of these health professionals and counselors, staff members, usually alcoholics are able to turn their backs on these damaging drugs.
Before alcohol rehabilitation facilities can begin with any treatment. An alcoholic must get rid of the alcohol first in his body or undergo detoxification. This is already the start of the treatment program. Detoxing is being done through medical supervision which a treatment facility can offer. This process can have serious side effects such as delirium tremens and depression or liver complications. Now when going to alcohol rehabilitation facilities, basically there are factors needed to be considered. You have to check whether or not the center will take your insurance and if the center offers medication appropriately. You should also confirm that the facility is accredited and licensed and can address a wide spectrum of patient's needs. This follows medical concerns, vocational training, spiritual growth, and treatment for mental illness.
To undergo treatment from these alcohol rehabilitation facilities need effort not just from the patient but also from the family as well. The support coming from the family, friends, and loved ones could help a lot for one to recover from alcoholism.

I make a similar cheesball and it's always such a hit. Everyone always asks how I make it and I always laugh because it's so simple!
BRITTANY ,could i also have your recipe ,as im from NEW ZEALAND could you please write your mayo recipe down for me ,as i carnt find the dry rancho mix here and i dont know the milk powder recipe .i hope im not bothering you but this cheese ball recipe sounds lovely ..many thanks your kiwi friend .JANO
STephanie @ Macaroni and Cheesecake
I love love cheese balls and this one looks incredible! Love the flavor combination!
Mary @chattavore
I love a good cheese ball. The flavors in this sound absolutely amazing. Thanks for the recipe!
marlene groff
Do you mean the powder kind in a envelope to use ?
This cheeseball looks wonderful :)) Hello from Iowa !!
Do I use the dressing mix dry or do I mix it then use it?
Chef in Training
dry. So sorry for the confusion. I will clarify that in the recipe.
Nikki, I am old and a little confused. When you say 1/8 cup ranch dressing mix are you meaning the dry package mix or after you mix in the milk and mayonnaise and made the ranch dressing. Thanks, Bobbie
Chef in Training
dry mix
Lisa Sloane
A co-worker made your cheese ball recipe and it was delicious. And she was kind enough to send it to me. I can't wait to make it myself.
hi, not sure if I sent the message earlier or not. Question was, is the bacon cooked (as I would think) or raw. Where can I find your ranch dressing recipe as I haven't seen it here is Australia.......not that I have looked for it or even heard of it
Chef in Training
yes bacon is cooked. I linked to the ranch dressing recipe in the recipe itself. Here is the link again just in case:
Stephanie Muncy-feyh
I don't like nuts, can you suggest something else to roll the cheese ball in?
Can never have too much bacon. Try rolling in crumbled bacon or serve plain with out rolling in anything.
Catherine Taylor
Lightly toasted sesame seeds.
Tried it last night, and can confirm that it's a big winner -- my in-laws demolished it!
I couldn't find dry Ranch dressing mix, and subbed in Knorr's vegetable soup mix. Worked great!
Is it cooked bacon or bacon bits?
Chef in Training
cooked bacon :)
Jane Wortman
Could you use real bacon bits bought in bags that need to be kept in the refrigerator (not the simulated one) instead of cooking your own bacon and chopping it?
I live in Scotland and do not know ranch dressing or buttermilk powder. What can I use instead of it Please?
Try french onion powder or your favorite dry mix dressing. Add any ingredients you want to the cream cheese and cheddar, it's all about what you prefer. Be creative and have fun. Just don't add any flavoring that would be overwhelming to all the ingredients.
can I make this a week,two weeks before I serve it?
This looks so good. I would love to make it for my oldest son's graduation party. However, one of my younger children has a serious tree nut allergy. Any idea if this would work well without the pecans?
Chef in Training
yes, you can sub out the pecans for some chopped up cooked bacon :) That would be delicious too!
We're vegetarians but eat dairy; I'm going to try this with Stripples, the vegetarian bacon substitute. I bet it will work great!
I LOVE this recipe! Its always a HUGE hit, and takes but a few minutes to get together!
It says dry, and COOKED bacon!
Trudy Watkins
Where can you get green onions? I've never made a cheeseball but I love them. So I am going to try it for it looks delious!
Just in the produce section of the grocery store. Some people call them scallions
You have mentioned home made mayo ,made with butter milk ,or dry rancho dressing mix ..i carnt find these dressings here in NEW ZEALAND ,, what could i use instead and could i have your recipe please ..I think this CHEDDER ,BACON RANCH CHEESE BALL SOUND LOVELY ,,.MANY THANKS ..JANO YOUR KIWI FRIEND ..
Atha Robinson
This look good I will try it. I love cheese ball.
Rhonda Tatum
Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for! 4th of July party!
Linda Conley
Will be trying this soon looks really good
Can I make this cheese ball the day before serving .... Will it keep in the fridge?
Yes Sarah, you can keep them in the fridge for at least a week.....I always do......you just can't freeze them.....
can you freeze the cheddar bacon cheese ball?
Someone asked if you can freeze a cheese ball, I don't think you can ....... best to make the nite before .......if you can't eat nuts, just fry your bacon, crumble it up and roll your cheese ball in it.....I always use fresh fried bacon as I do not like bacon bits......not even the real bacon bits, I prefer to fry and crumble my own bacon....just seems to have a better taste......
Catherine Taylor
I made this cheese ball for Superbowl using good quality Oscar Meyer low sodium bacon. I still found the spread very salty, I assume due to the dry Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix. Otherwise, nice combination of ingredients. If I make it again I think I will cut WAY back on the dry mix and add fresh minced parsley, tiny bit of garlic powder and a couple splashes of Tobaco sauce.
How far in advance cam this be made?
I made this yesterday. It was Soooo gooood! I bought Ranch Wheat Thins to eat it with, and everyone loved it. Thank you for the recipe.
I made this yesterday and it was soooo goood! Everyone loved it! That you for the recipe!
This has become my staple contribution to any family gathering. It's easy to make, and tastes delicious!!! Great recipe!

Aurora Cannabis just announced that it has acquired Pedanios GmbH, a German leading wholesale importer and exporter, as well as distributor of medical cannabis in the EU.
Since December of 2015, Pedanios has been successfully importing, exporting and distributing medical cannabis into and within the European Union. The federally licensed medical and narcotic wholesale and GMP inspected narcotic import company has all relevant licenses and permits.
In January, German parliament had passed a new medical cannabis law that allows physicians access to established pharmacies as the point of sale. Pedanios saw its monthly sales double in March as a result and is still growing. With 80 million German citizens benefiting from the new law, Pedanios is also benefiting. The company wholesales medical cannabis to over 750 pharmacies and has the widest selection of products of any distributor in the German market.
"This is a transformational acquisition for Aurora, and a key step in our aggressive international expansion strategy," said Neil Belot, Aurora's Chief Global Business Development Officer.
"The transaction will ensure ongoing and increasing high quality product is available to fuel Pedanios' rapid growth, while positioning Aurora and Pedanios to seize upon opportunities together in Germany and the EU's emerging cannabis industry."
"Pedanios, with first mover success in the EU, has proven itself as one of the world's most trusted and scalable importers, exporters, and distributors of wholesale medical cannabis. Patients, physicians, and pharmacies across the EU recognize the Pedanios brand as the trusted source for high quality GMP certified medical cannabis," said Terry Booth, CEO. "The Pedanios team share Aurora's vision, our high standards, and our intentions to play a leading role in shaping the future of the global cannabis industry. In addition, because the average market prices are higher in Germany than in Canada, we expect German sales to positively impact our average sales price per gram."
"Canada and Germany are among the world leaders in medical cannabis, and as trailblazers in our respective countries, Pedanios and Aurora are well positioned to continue to drive innovation, expand our distribution network, and capture significant global market share," said Patrick Hoffmann, Pedanios' Co-Founder and Executive Partner.
"We look forward to the synergies that our combined companies will deliver to shareholders and stakeholders alike."

An exploration of the Golden Age of Comics, through the lens of Hideouts & Hoodlums, the comic book roleplaying game.
Thursday, December 3, 2015
New Adventure Comics #28 - part 1
Like I observed recently, aviator stunts seem to be something every comic book character masters as soon as they sit in a plane. Here, we see the stunt Power Dive, as described in The Trophy Case v. 1 no. 7.
Although Hideouts & Hoodlums is the Golden Age Comic Book Roleplaying Game, Editors need not limit themselves to American comic books, or even comic books for inspiration. The "Anchors Aweigh" story seems inspired by the Tintin comic strip adventure "The Crab with the Golden Claws", combined with the Raymond Chandler story "Nevada Gas".
Tom Brent is also a new character debuting this issue. He's a sailor; I have not felt sailors need their own character class yet. The ones I've read so far are either Fighters or (in Popeye's case) Superheroes. Tom Brent is definitely of the Fighter persuasion. The mood of the story is dark, with heroin smugglers being the villains, and a stash of morphine being used to frame Tom. It is also unusual for taking place in Marseilles, France, rather than the U.S. Note that France won't be conquered for almost another two years.
It's only 1938 and it's already been too long since Steve Carson of Federal Men has had a cool adventure. This serial, vs. The Cobra, might change that. We've already got a hideout set-up here, with a concealed trapdoor in the back room of a flower shop leading into a deep shaft with ladder rungs in the wall. At the bottom is a trapped metal door -- touch it and you're shocked unconscious (or forced to save vs. science to avoid being stunned).
A death trap awaits Steve in the lair of the master criminal -- a fight with a large cobra that is not only a poisonous snake but, curiously, a constrictor snake as well (maybe it's a mutant!). How do we know it's a death trap instead of a normal combat? Because of its placement in the storyline (after Steve is powerless in The Cobra's clutches).
Nadir, Master of Magic continues to go around not using magic. Sure, he claims he's giving a lady he rescued a potion to dispel the hypnotism placed on her, but I can't help but think that "potion" is really just a bit of brandy, or maybe even just a strong coffee. He does, however, seem to have a magic Ring of Evil Detection and he uses the Crystal Ball again he used in his first appearance.
Captain Desmo continues to vex me; the man fights way beyond the abilities of someone who should, at this stage, only be a first level Fighter. He exhibits the special ability of "combat machine" (multiple attacks vs. weak foes) as a Fighter of at least third level, and I can't easily guess how big a penalty to the die roll to assign to not only a disarming shot, but one that shatters a dagger with the bullet.
In this story, Desmo picks up his first supporting cast sidekick, Brooklyn-born Gabby McGuire, who is probably a first-level Fighter. Desmo also happens to know a Hindu mystic named Seyah Ashear, but Seyah is more of a Detective than a Magic-User, using clues to induce information for Desmo, rather than divination spells. Knowing a Detective as a Supporting Cast Member is very handy for players who aren't good at picking up on clues on their own.

When our trip was in its initial phases, as in still just a pipedream, we always agreed a layover for a few weeks of Spanish classes on our way down to Argentina would be an important part of it. We didn't know where and we didn't know when, but we were certain we would make it a priority. For one reason or another, perhaps because we began feeling pressure to speed up our pace, I noticed our language regarding classes begin to change; what started as a "Yes, definitely" was becoming a "Well, maybe.."

The Road to Semuc Champey
There are basically two routes you can take if you're trying to drive directly from Tikal in the north to Semuc Champey in central Guatemala. According to our map the most direct route was a skinny little red line, indicating a secondary road, and a more roundabout fat blue line indicating a nice paved two lane road. We decided to try to make the drive in only one day and thus did not want to take our chances on the skinny red line, despite it being a shorter distance. We aimed for the fat blue line and by mid afternoon we were making good time. At this point, we were supposed to stop driving south and catch a road to head west. Thinking we were looking for another fat blue line of a road we easily sped past the sleepy little town of Modesto Mendez. Once we realized we had possibly gone too far we double backed passing the turnoff once more. Without a decent map, and struggling to understand the directions given to us by the locals, we would waste the valuable daylight we had left searching for this supposed fat blue line. When we finally found the road it became apparent why we were able to drive past it four times. The road was dirt, wider than one lane but not by much, and ravaged by the previous rainy season. Continue reading »
Into Guatemala
Border crossing days can be stressful ones. It's a day full of unknown variables that no amount of research can entirely prepare you for. Procedures seem to change regularly, new taxes or fees can be attempted to be extracted, lunch breaks can be taken at all hours of the day leaving you stranded until the officer returns, and around every corner are unofficial porters pouncing on even a momentary lapse in confidence offering their services in the hopes of scoring a few bucks. Although porters can make the process easier, and surely cost less than a cheap lunch, have no doubt, it is a form of cheating. Up to this point we have had a few notches on our border crossing bed post but it was Guatemala that taught us some important lessons, lessons that we had to learn the hard way.
On Food and Friendship
From Caye Caulker we continued our travels through the small country of Belize, heading west towards the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve. We had heard good things about the Belize Zoo and, even though zoos are really not our thing and even though it was expensive ($15 USD/person), we decided to stop. The zoo is filled with over 100 rescue animals native to the area, including jaguars, ocelots, howler monkeys, tapirs, and various species of birds, including the largest in central America, the Jabiru. While the jury's still out on whether it was worth the entrance fee, it was cool to see many animals we may not get a chance to see during our travels. Continue reading »
Belize It or Not!
I was forced to use that as a title, but I won't say by whom.
We said our goodbyes to Mexico and moved on to our first new country in over three months. Crossing over the invisible line that separates Belize from Mexico was unlike any other border I've ever experienced. It was like stepping into a completely different world. Not only is the national language English but the people and food have more in common with the Caribbean islands than with the surrounding Central American countries. It was a bit of a culture shock, but after spending 3 months in a foreign culture we welcomed the respite and enjoyed our days in the comforts of our native language. Continue reading »
Reflections on Mexico
When our trip was in the early stages of planning our timeline was frequently debated. Unlike me, Jill had the advantage of a reference point. She had spent many hours on other travelers' blogs and had a feel for a slow pace versus a quick pace. Envisioning what kind of travelers we would find ourselves to be Jill estimated accordingly. I on the other hand was shooting blind. And as is often the case, this did not stop me from defending my position fervently. I saw Jill's position of allotting three months for Mexico as a gross overestimate. I considered the country a hurdle between us and the rest of our trip. For reasons unknown to me at the time, I found it easier imagining us cracking into cultures in Central America, and saw Mexico as an impenetrable wall. What I later came to realize was that although publicly I spoke skeptically of the perception of Mexico in the US, I was not immune to its influence. A part of me was, and I hate to say it, scared and wanted to get it over with as quickly as possible. Luckily for me, I have a stubborn enough partner who kept faith that once we were into the deep I would come around. And after stepping into our first municipal market, I did.
San Juan Chamula
One of the amazing things about Chiapas, that is, besides the mist-wrapped mountains and Caribbean-clear rivers, is its rich and vibrant indigenous culture. Of the 4.2 million people of Chiapas, more than 25% are indigenous groups, mostly Mayan. There are at least nine languages spoken and each ethnic group has its own beliefs, traditions and dress customs. Tzotzil and Tzetzil clothing, specifically, is the most varied and colorful in Mexico and often identifies the wearers' village. One of the things we were most looking forward to during our stay in the state was visiting some of the smaller Mayan villages that surround San Cristóbal. Continue reading »
A Struggle for Autonomy
San Cristóbal was one of the cities I was really looking forward to visiting prior to our departure. Nestled in the mountains of Chiapas, the city has the familiar colonial charm we've become accustomed to in Mexico – cobblestone streets, colorful homes, clean and winding streets perfect for strolling. But what really makes San Cristóbal distinctive is the predominant and immediately obvious indigenous presence. Due to its location in the heart of Mexico's Mayan population, the city is ripe with the culture and customs of the Maya. Continue reading »


text: New colors for 2020! The new and unique rubber compound, 100% made in Germany, creates previously unknown grip and rebound characteristics. The feel is soft, yet very defined and precise. The GE1 is specifically developed around the demands of gravity and enduro riding. These 2 specific styles of mountain biking have riders gripping the handlebars very wide while the elbows are kept bent. This aggressive riding position dictates the construction of the grip. The result? The grip itself is able to prevent typical issues of arm pump in the arms and hands.

An article just in time for the Champfleury run!
Running as a sport is showing a huge boom in Quebec and running events are multiplying all over the province. These events create a feeling of belonging and accomplishment and this discipline, costing very little, is accessible to everyone. One of the major factors in this boom is also the rise in consciousness of the population about the importance of physical activity. All these factors create an interest in running from the young to the older and from the most athletic to the beginners.
However, there is another side to this story; about 50% of the people who start running get hurt. This trend is clearly visible in our chiropractic clinics; we have never seen as many running related injuries! Sadly, beginners often underestimate the intensity and preparation involved in starting this sport. A musculo-skeletal system that is not ready to endure the joint impact of running can get damaged quickly. Here are some pointers on what to look out for before starting a running training program:
– A weight problem: We know, this is ironic; you want to lose weight running! The initiative is great, but some directives need to be kept in mind. For a person with a lot of weight to lose, start with brisk walking, swimming and elliptical before starting to run. This will allow you to lose some of the extra weight before putting your joints at risk with running. For a slighter weight problem, start slow with walking and running intervals that can gradually be raised in intensity.
– Your back: you need to take care of discomfort or pain in your back or neck before starting a running regimen. Your chiropractor will help you determine if running can be undertaken at the same time as a treatment or if you're better off taking care of the problem before running. If the problem is located in your vertebrae, running can aggravate your condition in the short-term, which will not allow you to reach the long term benefits of running. This is why it is ideal to have chiropractic care during the first weeks of a running regimen.
– Your hips, knees and ankles: Any injury that has left symptoms in your joints needs to be evaluated before beginning a running regimen. The goal here is not to stop you from running, but to give you the necessary tools so running can be safe and enjoyable. Recent or old injuries might need ligament support (taping), specific muscular stretches, mobilizations and adjustments, inflammation control, proprioception work and muscular stability exercises during the initiation phase of running.
– Your posture: even if you have no pain and you simply want to get back into shape using running, a postural exam is necessary. Postural anomalies can be completely asymptomatic but, after the stress of running, can create pain. When running, the joint tension is much higher than when walking or other daily activities. You might be at risk of injuring your weight bearing joints; the ones supporting your weight. Here are some examples of postural anomalies that should all be evaluated: an accentuated lower back curve, a rounded upper back, shoulders turned inward and the head held foward, uneven hips or leg length discrepency, knees turned inward or outward, flat feet, etc. The goal, once again, is to give you the necessary tools to maintain and better your posture so running can be safe.
Running is a sport with a huge potential. People who have incorporated it gradually with the help of a health professional to take care of their musculo-skeletal system can be proud to run for many years. Your chiropractor has the same goal as you; making running a long-term sport, for long-term health! As a team, you will work together to make sure your body can keep up the pace!

It's the ache of having had and now being without.
It's the injustice of having been robbed of something dear, taken without your permission.
It's the trauma of a moment, a diagnosis, a point of no return that wounds and scars your heart, your soul, your mind.
It's the knowledge that nothing you could have done would have changed the outcome juxtaposed with the wondering if you did everything you could have done and should have done.
It's the restlessness of not having any answers.
It's the conflict without resolution.
It's where I'm stuck.
It's why I've been silent in words written and words spoken.
My body is in forward motion. The world still spins. Time still passes by the second, the minute, the hour, the day, the week, the month.
My feet keep moving, circling this uncharted territory. I'm left behind—no map, no reference point.
my heart,
my mind,
my spirit,
my soul…
They're all still.
They're all silent.
I fear jostling any of them out of their reverie.
Of accepting the reality I'm still not ready to face.
To process.
To grieve.
To learn how to live with the absence that consumes my thoughts.
My words are still present tense.
I choke on past tense.
I can't move her there yet.
If I do, I've lost something. Someone.
A vital piece of my own history, my own story.
Our shared story.
Our shared history.
So I sit. Silent. Holding myself in this shadowy valley, longing to turn back toward what was but is no more, unsure of what lies ahead and not ready to put forth the effort to start moving toward higher ground.
Denying the absence.
Questioning the reasons.
Stifling the anger.
Avoiding the breakdown.
The silence screams at me, willing me to break it, to find a balance between grief and joy, begging me to celebrate the good and process the ugly, to live in the light when everything seems dark.
It's the dissonance where I reside.
It's the silence that needs breaking.

It was one of those days where everything felt perfect. As we walked, my footsteps fell to the beat of Wendy Cope's The Orange. The lines echoed in my head. I love you. I'm glad I exist.
We are so happy. We are so in love with each other, with these children. With my small grey shadow, who sleeps tucked into the crook of my knees and wakes me with kisses in the morning. This last bit of maternity leave, my final two weeks, are so precious. We are determined to make the most of them.
I am very fortunate to have a partner who is not only willing but eager to stay home when I return to work at the beginning of February. We knew going in to IVF that childcare costs meant that if we had multiples, there would be simply no point in Kirsty continuing to work and whilst we have had to cut back a bit – no more morning Starbucks for Amber! – it's well worth the sacrifice to know that I won't be leaving my baby with strangers but with their mother. That first morning is certainly going to sting, but imagining the fun that they are having at home will numb the ache a little.
And we're going to have plenty of weekends like this one still, with long glorious walks through the setting sun.

Zac Ferry is here to share some ideas on Decorative concrete- this is something simple that can really spice up your home._________________________________________________________________________________
Are you tired of the same old look of the pavements and driveways around your house? Do you wish to experiment with something new and one that does not affect your pocket much? This is the perfect article for you. In this article, we will discuss about the best surfacing material which is concrete, its advantages and why you should hire professionals for the job.
Concrete is a mixture of cement, aggregates (fine and coarse), and water. These components vary in proportions depending on the job to be done. In the case of pavements, there is a well-defined ratio of these components which makes the pavement strong and durable. For decorative concrete resurfacing one can add colors to the concrete and make designs out of it and enhance the visual appeal of the surroundings.
Before proceeding with the resurfacing, you need to repair the old surface so that the concrete binds well with the underlying old surface. First, the surface needs to be washed to remove any material that might affect the concrete and then repair work is done. The mixed concrete is then applied over the surface and left to dry. For decorative concrete resurfacing one can choose the various design brooms available in the market and run them over the concrete soon after they are poured on the surface. Concrete dries within a period of 24-48 hours.
Now that we have understood how resurfacing is done using concrete we must understand the various advantages it provides over other available options out there.
- Cost efficient
Concrete is considered the cheapest alternative. It would cost much more if you remove the old surface and go for a new one. In resurfacing, we do not remove the underlying surface but only repair it. The labor cost in case of concrete resurfacing is less which considerably reduces the overall cost of the work.
- Visual Appeal
Decorative concrete resurfacing is for sure the best resurfacing available in the market when it comes to visual appeal. It can be applied both indoors and outdoors and a tint of color to the concrete will help in matching it with the surroundings. Various patterns and drawings can be made on concrete with the help of special brooms.
- Time
Concrete resurfacing does not require much time. The work can be completed in a couple of hours and it is left for a day or two to dry. The only concern of the labor is that the concrete is evenly spread and is well compacted so that no damage occurs at the later stage. To speed up the process, certain chemicals can be added which quicken the hardening of concrete.
- Maintenance
Since concrete is hard and strong, no major scratches or dents can be seen on the surface. It can also withstand heavy loads over prolonged periods and remain the way they are without any damage. Thus, concrete is low maintenance and regular cleaning will ensure a longer life.
Decorative concrete resurfacing has seen an increase in demand in the recent past which is due to the number of advantages they provide over other options available in the market. Concrete keeps your house cooler and thus will help you save on the electricity bill. The variety of designs and patterns available make it a perfect choice. If you plan on getting decorative concrete resurfacing done, go for the professional help. Search the web for the best in your area and get the work done. Hiring a professional for this job ensures that the work is done in a timely manner and that too with quality.

|Trevaskis Farm, Cornwall
|Tonnes of CO2
Pick your own fruit' farm's ground-mounted solar uses farm's free land
Solar panels help keep energy local and reduce environmental impact
A Cornish 'pick your own' farm, set amidst 28 acres of beautiful countryside, is making even more of its natural resources after SunGift Energy designed and installed a 40 kWp ground-mounted solar PV system on an area of the farm's free land.
Trevaskis Farm, which grows and sells more than 70 different fruits, was looking for a sustainable-energy solution that would reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and help power its restaurant and farm shop.
Sustainable electricity produced 'on their doorstep'
"The solar PV system is a marvellous addition to the farm," said SunGift's Gareth Walton. "Trevaskis Farm prides itself on keeping its environmental impact to a minimum and most of its produce travels less than a mile from the fields to its shop and restaurant. This system means that much of its electricity is be produced on its doorstep too."
"The installation process was kept simple, and we took care to carry out the work quickly, smoothly and without causing disruption to the business. As the farm shop and restaurant use energy throughout the day, most of the electricity produced by the PV system is used onsite."
Recommended by financial advisers
After applying for planning permission Trevaskis Farm approached SunGift Energy, which had been recommended to them by accountants Francis Clark. SunGift completed a full onsite survey and provided the business with a bespoke design, detailing all the work that would be carried out. SunGift also helped future-proof the installation by laying additional cable, enabling Trevaskis Farm to add another solar PV system in the future. SunGift also used industry-leading PV Sol software to show that the panels would generate more than 40,000 kWh of electricity each year.

Recently I traveled with my DIl, Kathy and grandsons, Wyatt & Ethan to Salisbury, MD so Kathy could visit friends and family.
I really loved spending time with her and the kiddos. The sights were beautiful ( especially the bridge/tunnel) and I have a new love of my life...Jumbo Lump Broiled Crab Cakes!
We had dinner with some lovely friends of hers at Fratelli's...10 thumbs up!
..and then be still my heart...
where has this delicious beauty been all my life!
are made on an island... in the Bay... 10 layers of goodness in several flavors...
Kathy and I ate ours sitting in a hallway of a motel in our jammies with the door of our room propped open while the littles slept... we felt like queens!
I would definitely go back...loved it!

text: 1. Iluka Resources seeks to hire those who are up to date on the industry. Our industry is a competitive one with policy changing frequently. How do you keep up with industry trends and policy changes? The interviewer is seeking for proof that you have a genuine interest in their particular industry. When you have a real interest in a topic, you will spend time dedicating yourself to grow your knowledge base. Discuss with the interviewer a couple of ways that you keep yourself updated on industry trends and policy changes. It's also a great idea to ask the interviewer about the ways they keep prefer to stay on top of industry topics. You never know what other resources are out there and you may learn something new! Example #1: "There are many great resources dedicated to the metals and mining industry. At the moment, my favorite resource is miningmagazine.com. I visit their website frequently and also subscribe to their blog. What is your favorite resource for industry related news?" Example #2: "I subscribe to a variety of print, and online, publications such as Mines to Markets, Mining Global and Cobalt News. Could you share with me some of your favorite resources? I always like to learn about new industry resources." 2. In your opinion, why is our industry a fundamental one? Employees who see value in their company, and industry, are going to be happier and stay longer. The interviewer is looking for your opinion on why the metals and mining industry is an important one. Show the interviewer that, if hired by Iluka Resources Ltd., you would have a sense of pride in what they do. Example #1: "I strongly believe that the metals and mining industry provides an excellent boost in the economy; especially in those regions and states where mining activity is concentrated. Minerals and metals are what make nearly everything we have so without this type of mining, many of the products we know and love would not exist." Example #2: "I believe the biggest reason why mining is necessary is that minerals and metals can rarely be substituted for anything. They are vital to our everyday lives. If mining stopped, we would not have other resources for some of the most important things we use every day." 3. At Iluka Resources we understand that our industry can be a volatile one. In your opinion, what is the outlook for the metals and mining industry in the next year? The interviewer wants to see that you have a keen interest in the industry and that you are up to date on some of the challenges and wins that Iluka Resources Ltd. may be facing. You do not need to give an incredibly long and drawn out answer but be sure to highlight a couple of interesting points. Wrap up your response by asking the interviewer their personal opinion on the outlook for the industry. This question from you could start an insightful and helpful conversation Example #1: "I read in an article a short time ago that mining was one of 2016's best performing sectors despite a slow start to the year. Citi analysts are predicting another solid year. How do you feel the outlook will be for this industry in the years to come?" Example #2: "Although the prices for many commodities have declined over the years, I feel that we will be bouncing back again very soon. According to the Financial Post, 2018 is going to be a solid year for the metals and mining industry." 4. At Iluka Resources we put safety first when it comes to our employees and the handling of our products. How important is safety to you? Assure the interviewer that you are as concerned about safety as they are. In which ways do you put safety first? Talk about the importance of security in the workplace. Example #1: "One of the reasons why Iluka Resources Ltd. stands out to me as a potential employer, is your dedication to workplace safety. I feel that safety should be the number one consideration in this industry. It determines employee engagement, company profitability, and ensures a strong industry reputation." Example #2: "Safety is of utmost importance to me! I take regular precautions in the workplace, and I continue to attend safety training while keeping my tickets and certifications valid." 5. At Iluka Resources we take every step possible to be a leader in our industry. In your opinion, who are our competitors and what sets us apart from them? It is incredibly important to research the company before your interview. You should learn who the company's competitors are. Discuss your findings with the interviewer and be sure to speak highly of Iluka Resources Ltd. while answering this question. Example #1: "I have researched Iluka Resources Ltd. and see that you truly are an industry leader in the metals and mining arena. From my research, I believe what sets you apart is your incredible dedication to safety, and to the environment." Example #2: "From my understanding, your biggest competitors are companies A, B, and C. I believe that Iluka Resources Ltd. is different because you put safety above all else. Your public safety records are impressive, and I am excited at the possibility to join such a responsible company." 6. What sources do you look to when you need to solve a complicated problem? The interviewer wants to know that you can think outside the box, or even ask for help when you are stuck on a complicated problem. Maybe you look to a mentor or boss for advice. Perhaps you have handbooks, manuals and systems you turn to for help. Offer some relevant examples based on your industry. If you work in the medical field, you may turn to textbooks, online research, colleagues or even patient's history to find the right solution. If you work in customer service, you may ask the customer what they need to find the best way to solve the problem. Show the interviewer that you are knowledgeable and equipped to handle these types of scenarios. Example #1: "When faced with a complicated problem, I will look to the resources that my current company has provided me. The answer is almost always in there. If it's more of a moral dilemma vs. a knowledge-based dilemma, I will ask my supervisor for his thoughts and opinion since I value him as a mentor and expert in our industry." Example #2: "If there's a complicated problem, I'll write out what I think the possible solutions would be, and make a note of what my gut tells me to do. Then, I will weigh those potential solutions against one another and list the complications that may arise as a result of each choice. Also, I am always open to input or suggestions from those with more experience than I and look to my mentors, their experience, and the training resources, as well as potentially talk the problem out with coworkers or my boss."

...but I don't feel like fighting the crowd. John Kerry and his Believe in America tour is making a stop in my fair swing city this evening. He has been here all day, actually, but the public rally will be tonight at our Union Station. I love John Kerry and his wife, and know I will be sorry if I do not attend, but I would rather eat sushi and go to the bookstore than fight for parking and stand shoulder to shoulder in a bouncing throng for a couple of hours.
I will involve myself in our political process by encouraging everyone I know to register to vote, get out there on Election Day, and end Dubya's reign of terra!
On a totally different topic, my beloved Briney has announced today that it will only be open to subscribers effective in a couple of weeks. Now, I do not mind paying $2.45 a month for a subscription to The Atlantic Monthly in order to participate in one of the best forums on the interbunny, but I am seriously bummed that many of the posters I know and love will be jumping ship for cheaper (free) waters.
This is a sad, sad day.

Carlos Zambrano moves to the bullpen. Whaaaa??? Oh. Wait, what? Somewhere, Dusty Baker just tipped his "Crazy Manager Move" hat to Sweet Lou. Dusty, "After Harang complained of arm soreness, I needed him for another 140 pitches the next day, so I fashioned a pitching arm out of rubber bands and a dead giraffe. Some saw that as crazy, but this Big Z move takes the cake." Are the Cubs building a new and improved frankencloser, Carlos Zambarmol? Close game, two men on, starter's tiring… You want Carlos Zambrano entering the game or leaving it? That's not even rhetorical. That's common sense, isn't it? As Lou ever seen Zambrano pitch? This is the guy you want coming into pressure situations? Wow, what a move. I want to say there's no way this move lasts, but Zambrano's also not that valuable to wait it out. Lose him in fantasy like Sweet Lou lost his mind. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Alfonso Soriano – 3-for-4, 3 RBIs and he hit his 2nd homer as he bats .327 on the year. He also has one more steal than Alcides Escobar. Not as glamorous as he used to be, but should get to a 25/10 year, assuming the knees he borrowed from The Mummy hold up.
Carlos Silva – 6 IP, 1 ER, 4 baserunners, 4 Ks. I'm convinced, Silva is the smoke monster.
Jose Guillen – Hit his 6th homer yesterday. He's on pace for 64.8 homers. What a joke. You can't hit eight tenths of a homer. Everyone knows that.
Zack Greinke – 7 IP, 2 ER, 3 baserunners, 8 Ks with the no decision. The first and only trade Rudy and I did with each other was me sending him Melky Cabrera for Zack Greinke. It was in 2008, so it wasn't as obnoxiously awesome as it might sound. Though, it was close. The Razzball Glossary term that evolved from that trade was Greinke'd, as in "Rudy got Greinke'd!" After about a year of me mocking Rudy, the term was removed from the glossary because it became archaic (and Rudy cried). Now I propose the return of Greinke'd, but with a new, alternative definition. When a pitcher throws a gem, but gets a no decision he's been Greinke'd. Roll it around on your tongue, see how it feels.
Alex Gordon – Hit the game-winning homer yesterday. Every time I try to get out, Alex Gordon pulls me back in. Please, someone stop me from picking him up.
Alex Gonzalez – Staying in the Alex genre, Gonzalez hit his 5th homer yesterday. Worth riding the coaster until the bottom falls out? Sure.
Rafael Furcal – 3-for-5, 4 RBIs, 3 Runs and a steal. Furcal: Resurrection.
Matt Kemp – Hit his 7th homer. Hey, 30/30, what's up? Say hello to your mother for me.
Neftali Feliz – I think he can probably throw 12 no-hit innings. That is all.
Julio Borbon – 3-for-5, should've been 4-for-5 if the scorer didn't botch a call, and a steal. Borbon will appear in tomorrow's Buy/Sell, but you might want to buy him now. Cust kayin'.
Josh Hamilton – 3-for-4, 4 RBIs and a home run. Finally, the 2008 Home Run Derby jinx ends.
Darnell McDonald – Hit another homer. Maybe he's this year's Randy Ruiz. Hits 7 homers then transforms back into Nadir Bupkus.
Josh Beckett – 7 IP, 7 ER, 12 baserunners, 4 Ks. I wouldn't panic, Red State Jeter always has a few games like this.
Brian Fuentes – 2/3 IP, 2 ER, Blown Save. Welcome back! I wouldn't drop Rodney until you see a clean save.
Mark Ellis – Placed on the 15-day D'Ellist. Okay, I'll stop.
Placido Polanco – Left the game after getting hit by a Tim Hudson pitch on the elbow. Somewhere, Shawn Michaels' elbow says, "Pfft."
Roy Halladay – 9 IP, 0 ER, 6 baserunners, 7 Ks. Halladay was Rudy's preseason NL Cy Young choice. Rudy's right. Halladay's pitching so well it makes me wonder how many more Wins and awards he'd have if he had pitched in the NL East for the last 7 years.
Cliff Lee – The Adverb is set to return on April 30th. Hopeful Lee.
Yovani Gallardo – 5 IP, 0 ER, 6 baserunners, 10 Ks. Imagine if this guy could go 9 innings.
Carlos Gonzalez – 4-for-5 and a steal. But, hey, Billy Beane got Matt Holliday.
Jason Marquis – The Marquis de Shat heads to the Disgraceful List. His home away from home.
Ryan Zimmerman – Left the game with a hamstring injury similar to the one he suffered last week. A bad pattern is emerging. If he continues to have hamstring injuries on again, off again all year, it could really hurt his numbers. Probably best if he just sits out for a week. The preceding sentence was my attempt to put the correct move out in the cosmos for the Nats. We'll see if The Secret works.
Nick Hundley – Hit his 2nd homer as he bats .265. He's my Fantasy Razzball catcher, that is supposed to give me the worst stats, and he's actually out hitting most of my real teams' catchers. I should be fingercuffing him. Yeah, that sounds wrong.
Francisco Liriano – 8 IP, 0 ER, 8 baserunners, 6 Ks. In the Yahoo Friends and Family League (I think I'm in the former group, but I haven't seen one of my uncles in about 12 years. Unkie Funston? Could be.), Rudy and I traded Jenks for Maybin and Francisco Liriano. You can't make this stuff up. No, really, you can't. The league is public. You'd know if I were lying.
Grady Sizemore – 0-for-4 as he bats .191. After seeing his sexting photo, I didn't think Sizemore could do anything more degradying this year. He might be proving me wrong.
Sean Rodriguez – 3-for-5, 4 RBIs and his first homer. You know that guy you drop that immediately starts hitting? Could be Sean-Rod. Lord knows Zobrist isn't hitting anything.
Wade Davis – 6 IP, 0 ER, 5 baserunners, 6 Ks. Let's jump in the hot tub time machine and see what I said in the starter rankings, "The nice thing about Davis is he may actually give you close to a complete season (200 innings). The bad is his walks haven't been great." And that's me quoting me! So far, he's been pretty on point. 17 innings, 13 Ks, 11 BBs and a 2.65 ERA. There could be some ugliness down the road, but he definitely has the talent to keep his ERA around 3.50.
Jerry Blevins – Left the game with an injury. Oh, no. The Beav!
Chad Qualls – 1/3 IP, 3 ER. I went back to the last Closer Look and counted five comments questioning Qualls in the Brain Freeze section. *Grey shrugs* I grabbed Gutierrez again in three leagues.
Colby Rasmus -3-for-4, 3 RBIs, 2 home runs. 20/20's not out of the question.
Phil Hughes – 7 1/3 IP, 1 ER, 1 Hit, 10 Ks. He actually flirted with a no-hitter without injuring himself!
Aaron Harang – 5 2/3 IP, 12 baserunners, 6 ER. Rocco Dispirito's Mom called. She wants her meatballs back.
