Corrective Chiropractic Care
Like most chiropractors, we are concerned with your pain, however, we take it a step further by restoring your spine "normal" alignment or as near normal as possible. We provide a no-charge patient consultation to help determine if we can help you, a complete and thorough spinal and postural exam – including any necessary X-rays to be able to determine the extent of your spinal problems and determine if and how long it will take to fix. After studying your spinal examination, posture, and X-rays, we will put together a report of findings to let you know if we can help you or not. Because of the specialty of our practice, we see many advanced cases and post-surgical cases, however, not everyone is eligible for corrective care. After we have determined if we can help you or not, we will put together a care plan letting you know how many visits it will take to help you and how much it will cost so that there are no surprises.
You may also have some home care you will be responsible for as well as at home mirror-image exercises that are important factors in your progress.
We are not a participating provider for any insurance network so you, as the patient are responsible for your financial obligation. We accept cash, check, visa, MasterCard, discover, and care credit. We do not participate in any insurance networks because as doctors, we feel it is our responsibility to treat you right and give you the care that you need regardless of what kind of insurance you may or may not have. Everyone is treated equal and we will not be responsible for letting your insurance dictate the kind of care you receive. We will lay out a treatment plan according to your needs, not what your insurance (who doesn't know your condition or how to treat it) dictates.
Our staff will help instruct you on filing a superbill to your insurance company so that if you have insurance that covers part of your chiropractic care, you can be reimbursed directly from your insurance company for whatever coverage they offer. All companies and coverages are different. We recommend that you contact your insurance company to find out what they cover. Superbills will be generated to you the first week of each month for all of your care in the prior month for you to send to your insurance company. We are not participating providers with Medicare, however we will submit all services to Medicare electronically daily for our Medicare patients. Medicare will reimburse the patient directly for the percentage of care that they cover and visits that they allow. Medicare does not cover any part of the patient's examination, X-ray's, or therapy/traction.
As a new patient, it will be necessary for you and your spouse/or guest to attend a one-time, one hour new patient workshop where we talk about your health, how to get it when you need it, and how to not undo what we're working on doing for you. Because our practice is referral driven, we will always ask you for referrals and "Who do you know that needs our help?" Our goal is to transform the health of our community and reach as many people as possible, but we can't do it without your help. We expect you to share your progress with others and refer them to us to see if they have a condition in which we can help as well.

Satellite TV Dishes
One of the most important components of the satellite TV system, satellite TV dishes are the instrument that is the most visible to satellite TV subscribers. In order for a viewer to obtain satellite TV programming, they must have a satellite TV dish. This is because satellite TV dishes are an essential part of what makes satellite TV's work.
Making it Work
Essentially, satellite TV dishes are a special type of parabolic reflector antenna that is designed to focus on a larger broadcasting satellite that is situated in geostationary orbit. Upon receiving the signals transmitted from the broadcasting satellite, the satellite dish funnels this signal into a receiver that processes this signal and converts it into the sound and picture that is broadcast on your television.
Satellite TV dishes are a particular type of microwave antenna that is available in various sizes and designs. A standard satellite TV dish is comprised of a parabolic (bowl-shaped) surface and a central feed horn. The receiving satellite TV dish uses its curved dish, which receives signals from a broadcasting satellite, to reflect the signal inward into the feed horn.
This is similar to a concave mirror that focuses light onto a particular point. The feed horn holds a low noise blockdown converter (LNB), which amplifies the signal transmitted from a broadcasting satellite that is bouncing off the dish and filters out the noise. As a result of the LNB, an amplified and filtered signal is sent to the satellite receiver that is inside the viewer's home. The viewer is then able to see the sound and visual content that is being broadcast from the broadcasting satellites.
Modern Inventions
When people think about a satellite dish, they invariably have visions of the satellite dishes of twenty years ago: huge, sprawling eyesores that take up valuable space. However, recent innovations have ensured that this is no longer the case.
There are two types of satellite TV systems. The older type of home satellite TV dishes is television receive-only or TVRO satellite TV systems. TVRO were the first satellite TV systems that were available to the home consumer and was popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Characterized by satellite dishes that were usually between 6 and 12 feet in length, TVRO satellite dishes also contained motors that enabled the dish to change positions so it could receive signals from several different satellites. TVRO satellite TV systems have become supplanted by another type of satellite TV system.
This is direct broadcast satellite or DBS TV system. With a direct broadcast satellite TV system, a subscriber is required to own a satellite TV dish that is usually 18 inches or less in diameter. DBS has overtaken TVRO systems to become the standard satellite TV transmitter for the American satellite television watching public.
The satellite dish is positioned during installation so it is aimed at the broadcasting satellite. This is because there needs to be a straight path between the broadcasting satellite and the receiving satellite TV dish in order for the receiving satellite TV dish to receive the signal. Therefore, in the USA, your satellite dish will need to be directed to the south.
Smooth Operator
For those who are unaware of how DBS satellite TV works, this is what a DBS satellite TV system is comprised of:
1. DBS satellite TV originates in their programming sources, which are the channels that provide the programming that is obtainable in satellite TV. Companies such as HBO and ESPN create the television content. Satellite programming sources buy the rights to this programming and then broadcast the content through a satellite.
2. This programming content is sent to a broadcast center that receives the signals from programming sources. These signals are then transmitted to satellites that are situated in the geostationary orbit as a broadcast signal.
3. These satellites situated in the geostationary orbit are aligned so that they mirror the Earth's rotation. The satellites receive the broadcast signal from the broadcast center, which it then rebroadcasts to the ground.
4. At the ground, each satellite TV subscriber owns a satellite dish, which is used to receive the broadcast signals from the broadcasting satellites. The satellite dish then transmits these signals onto the receiver that is situated in the viewer's homes.
5. The receiver processes this broadcast signal and then displays the programming sent by the programming source on to the screen where it resides as the television content that we all love.
Part of the Deal
Considering how essential satellite TV dishes are to the overall satellite TV system, you should know that satellite TV dishes are usually part of the package when you subscribe for satellite TV service. Usually, you will be able to choose among different satellite TV dishes. But your choice of satellite TV dish will depend a great deal on the type of satellite TV package that you sign up to. However, some satellite TV dish options include satellite TV dishes that specialize in obtaining high definition programming or HDTV.
With the increase in popularity of satellite TV services, most satellite providers supply satellite TV dish installation as part of their introductory package. However, in rural parts of the country, satellite TV dish installation services are not available.
Although installing a satellite TV dish is relatively straightforward and there is a wealth of information available detailing how to do this, it is recommended that you hire a professional satellite TV dish installer. By hiring a professional, you will be able to enjoy the peace of mind knowing that the person installing your satellite TV dish has the necessary experience in this task. Additionally, many warranties on satellite TV dish systems become invalid if they have not been professionally installed.
For those individuals who are interested in satellite TV and who reside in an apartment building, it is recommended that they consult their Home Owners Association for advice. Your Home Owners Association will be able to provide the necessary information regarding whether or not you can install a satellite TV dish on your particular block. If you require more advice, you should consult either the Satellite Broadcasting Association or the Federal Communications Commission.

Dog Wardens with Limerick City and County Council are now beginning on the spot inspections of dog licences.
Dog owners around Limerick City and County will be required, on request, to produce a license for their dog meaning dog owners should now carry their dog license on them while out with their pet.
John McCarthy, Veterinary Inspector with Limerick City and County Council said, "Under the Control of Dogs Act 1986 it is unlawful for a person to keep a dog without a dog license. Please note that persons found in ownership of a dog for which they do not have a licence may be liable for a fine of €100."
According to Citizens Information and the control of dogs, you must be over 16 years of age receive a dog license and it is an offence to keep a dog unless you have a license.
All dogs over the age of four months must have a license. Dogs aged under four months who are still with their mothers do not need a license but having left their mothers, must have a license.
Dog wardens can now ask you to produce your dog license and failure to do so can result in an on-the-spot-fine. Failure to pay this fine within a specified time period can result in prosecution.
Dog licences can be bought for €20 at Limerick City and County Council offices at Merchants Quay or any Limerick City and County Council Area Office. They can also be purchased at any Post Office.

Cast: Bart Simpson as the hero with no name, Z-Man as Z-Man, Chick Magnet Dragonmaster PhD...
—Introduction to Chow Mein
BHF 5 (abbreviation of Bounty Hunter Force 5) is a mashup fanfiction that combines characters from The Simpsons, Star Wars, and the authors' own twisted minds. Written in transcript/stage direction format, it is full of absurd meta humor and so much fourth wall breaking that its repair costs are higher than the GDP of some countries.
Most stories are available here: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2739750/ShadowDialga
The fanfiction series contains examples of:
- Bizarro Fiction: Characters levitate, use crazy thought processes, authors frequently hop in to give long speeches about rock and roll, and most of the absurder episodes are erased from canon with the wave of a hand, among many, many other things.
- Canon Defilement: Even to its own canon: Dead characters brought back to life with the wave of a hand, characters frequently act different than the original content (usually played for laughs), things are retconned in madly, with backstories intersecting, leapfrogging, and doubling back on themselves. Note: Please do not move this to YMMV, as this is fully acknowledged and intentional.
- Characterization Marches On/Flanderization: Jango Fett started as a bland, sane commander, Z-Man as a cool guy, and TR as a somewhat random and foolish comic relief. Over time, Jango became more crazy and bipolar, Z-Man became the most sane guy there, and TR became the protege of Ralph Wiggum.
- Cloud Cuckoo Lander: TR.
- Crossover: The Simpsons, Star Wars, and whatever characters from whatever games/movies/music the authors have been enjoying that week.
- The Ditz, Too Dumb to Live, Chaotic Stupid, and basically all the other stupid tropes are TR, to the max.
- Gag Series: This all the way. Most plot segments originate as a setup for a funny "bit" the authors want to do, and are weakly chained together in order to be at least somewhat comprehensible.
- Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?: Occasionally played with, for Dengar, either unconvincingly or giving a view of his thought process.Z-Man: No psycho killer?
Dengar: Well, theres Dennis and TR, but no Bart. TR said something about him and someone breaking up for lying, a flying Krayt Dragon abduction, and Bart jacking Denniss motorcycle. But no psycho killer.
Jango Fett: I thought you were supposed to have a good memory.
Dengar: Well, yeah, but its occupied by something at the moment.
Jango Fett: What kind of something?
Dengar: You know bounty hunting gun manly stuff [In his head.] They call me Hell! They call me Stacy! They call me Her! They call me Jane! Thats Not My Name! Thats Not My Name!...
- Hypocritical Humor: Used sometimes
- Most Fanfic Writers Are Girls: Averted, both the creator and secondary author are male.
- Meta Fic/No Fourth Wall: The fourth wall being BROKEN is frequently averted to.
- Noodle Incident/Noodle Implements: Used frequently for comic relief, such as in this example:TR: Going up!
Bart: This better be fast. I've had a phobia of elevators ever since-
Dengar: Yeah, yeah, we know. When Maggie got hold of non-safety scissors while you were transporting a crate of live mongooses up the Empire State Building.
- Oh Crap, There Are Fanfics of Us!: Sometimes alluded to, including one scene where Jango asks the guy who writes down all their adventures if he's getting all this.
- Original Character: Z-Man, TR, Terk, Harvey and Rose, Gena, Sarah, most minor bit parts.
- Script Fic One of the most defining characteristics
- Self-Insert Fic: Both the authors (somewhat caricatured) frequently appear as themselves and talk directly to the characters, sometimes even bearing on the plot.
- Surreal Humor: From TR, mostly.
- Take That!:Jango Fett: Ah, you're full of it. Ghosts are as real as creationism is logical!
- That's What She Said: Many times.
- Who Writes This Crap?!: Add in the self-insertion and you have characters insulting the authors to their face.

ERC Hikes the Humanitarian Aid to Yemen's Red Sea Coast
The Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) has boosted its immediate relief aid attempts for the residents of the Red Sea Coast of Yemen, since the beginning of October. Earlier, the ERC announced their all-inclusive plan to reconstruct the Red Sea Coast, with the cost of AED107.1 million. As a part of the plan, restoration of 143 kilometer international coastal road, 13 clinics, 43 schools, and local electricity network is also included.
The ERC already delivered the first food supplements to the residents of the Eastern Coast, being the first in the series of aid packages that totals to 200 tonnes. The ERC also revealed their motive to reconstruct nine fishing marinas, setting up a fish market, and begin 29 small-scale production projects which would support the families of victims as well as poor families. It would also include 24 helping bakeries that can benefit around 4.32 million people.
The projects started by the ERC also comprises of renovation of 50 farms, using solar energy adding lights to the major roads, and donating10 vehicles to the rehabilitation centre. At the same time it would be organizing two group weddings consisting of400 people. Around 33 tonnes of food supplements reached Aden International Airport.
SIMILARLY, THE UAE stated that aid authority shipped a relief aid convoy for the residents of the liberated areas of Yemen's Red Sea Coast, which comprises of 5,000 food parcels that helped 35,000 people, such as more than 25,000 children and 5,000 women.
The ERC distributed around 1,500 food parcel and 5 tonnes of food supplements to the residents of Al Azariq District, Dhala Governorate, and also helped around 36 underweight and starving children with food parcels and cash. It also dispersed 1,000 food parcels to around 7,000 people in Ala Barah, Al Zahari, and Hassa Salem in Mocha District.
The ERC is moving ahead to initiate rebuilding projects and enhance the basic infrastructure of the Red Coast Sea.

I share Oh Gizmo's skepticism about this "Etch-A-Sketch Wired," which emulates the function of the traditional toy on your television screen right down to the "shake to clear." It is a little sad to see something as simple as an Etch-A-Sketch go digital, especially when no additional functionality seems to have been added. (But then again, what would you want?)
It's only $13, though, so no big whoop, I guess, especially since I always sort of hated Etch-A-Sketches anyway, being just as impatient as a toddler as I am as an adult. It just always seemed like a gimmicky way to produce drawings with less fidelity and more finickiness than with a pencil. I guess it does seem like if you're going to make a modern version you should either add something new, like a print-out function, or just do it in Flash and make it collaborative.

Regulators of G protein signalling (RGS) proteins display a common RGS domain that interacts with the GTP-bound Gα subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins, enhancing GTP hydrolysis by stabilising the transition state [1-3], leading to a termination of GPCR signalling. Interactions through protein:protein interactions of many RGS proteins have been identified for targets other than heteromeric G proteins. Sequence analysis of the 20 RGS proteins suggests four families of RGS: RZ, R4, R7 and R12 families. Many of these proteins have been identified to have effects other than through targetting G proteins. Included here is RGS4 for which a number of pharmacological inhibitors have been described.

When it comes to running an office, it's important to provide an atmosphere where productivity and success can bloom and flourish. While making sure your employees are on task is a large part of that, the other part is ensuring that they have adequate space and time to take a minute to take their minds off work, breathe a few deep breaths, and re-focus their minds so that they can return to their work with a refreshed and alert mental state. To guarantee your employees are getting what they need out of their breaks, it helps to make sure your office is supplied with the all the components that make up a great break room.
Storage Lockers or Cabinets
It's important that you provide your employees with adequate storage space; this helps ensure that they can keep their workspace neat and organized which will help your employees focus better as mess and clutter can be distracting for anyone. Whether you want to provide each individual member of your team with their own personal storage locker, or you want to install basic cubbies, just make sure you're giving your workers a place where they can easily and safely store their personal items.
Coffee Supplies
An ongoing brew of coffee is essential for any office to function properly, so make sure to have a surplus on hand. Not only do you want to supply your workers with adequate caffeine, but make sure to have all the accessories they might enjoy as well; creamer, sugar, extra mugs, and anything else that would make your employees' coffee experience a little more desirable will assist in keeping them alert and focused, and when a stressful day is ahead, a perfect cup of coffee in the morning makes all the difference.
Healthy Snacks
Grazing on healthy food periodically throughout the day helps the mind stay focused, and stocking up on some healthy snacks in the break room would be beneficial in keeping your employees running on sustainable energy. Coffee is great for a boost, but nutrient-rich snacks like fruit, granola bars, and nuts would help your workers avoid the irritating jitteriness that comes along with drinking too much caffeine on an empty stomach. A small gesture goes a long way; and showing you care about their physical comfort would be a great opportunity to express your appreciation for their time and efforts.
In order for a 15 minute break to be enough time to actually take the mind off of work, it's important to provide other means of mental stimulation or entertainment; installing a TV, providing magazines and books, or having a collection of different word puzzles are things you can incorporate into your break room that will allow your employees to zone out and re-center their minds. Being too focused for a long period of time will burn out your employees, so it's important to make sure they have an outlet to relieve stress.
Comfortable Lounging
One of the most important things to keep in mind when it comes to an employee break room is comfort; creating a space where your workers can put up their feet, relax, and veg out for a few minutes is essential in clearing the mind. Provide adequate tables and chairs so they can leisurely eat, but also provide couches or cushions where they can lounge out in front of the TV on their lunch break and really relax.
When it comes to creating a great break room that really shows your appreciation for your employees' hard work, do your best to separate it from the work space as much as possible; the office might be quiet and hyper-focused, so create an atmosphere that's loose and fun. By providing your employees with a way to turn work off their minds for a few minutes, you'll give them the opportunity to de-stress, refresh their mental state, and come back to work ready to give it their all.

So 6 months since my last blog ...... 2014 was definately one of the hardest and craziest years of my life! Starting a buisness is definately not for Sissies , especially when you add a full-time job , baby, terminally ill family members and the day to day happenings with life. My word for 2014 was BRAVE and the year certainly demanded lots of that!
Perhaps the biggest brave step was working up the courage to take a leap of faith and resign to work from home. New things abound right now and I'm neck deep in wading through figuring it all out , gulp !
For 2015 I think the word will have to be a follow on the Bravery demanded by 2014
2015 will be a year of reinventing all I know and stepping out of the comfort zone , and hopefully more blogging :)
Here I go !

Hong Kong Willie ,Famous Recycling Artists. Artist of the 60's in the now. Acclaimed Famous Florida folk artist, Living the Life of using objects for many uses.
It all started on a landfill in Tampa..
Tampa gallery practices the art of creative reuse
By Kerry Schofield
The year was 1958. Joe Brown, 8, lived next to a county dump site in Tampa, Fla. Brown found old junk, fixed it up and sold it. Brown knew he had a higher calling in life — he was destined to be an artist.
Brown, who is now 60, makes art from trash at his Hong Kong Willie Art Gallery. He has embellished the outside of the gallery with splashes of Caribbean-color paint and found objects reminiscent of Key West.
Brown is as colorful as the gallery — he wears a bright tropical shirt with red, white and blue plaid shorts. Patrons tell him they can smell the salt water when they drive up. The gallery, however, is perched inland near Morris Bridge Road and Interstate 75 where a rusty-hair hen named Fred, first thought to be a rooster, patrols the property. Fred, abandoned five years ago by tourists, trots between the gallery and adjacent hotel leaving a trail of droppings behind her.
Brown lived on the Gunn Highway Landfill from 1958 to 1963. The Hillsborough County landfill operated for four years and was closed in 1962. "It was astounding how quick they could fill the 15 acres in pits that were enormous," Brown said.
An apartment complex now sits on top of the old landfill. A report by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection indicated that a lining was placed underneath the complex when it was built to block methane gas from leaking. The gas is a byproduct of rotting garbage.
As a child, Brown lived on his father's dairy and beef farm. Brown said during heavy rain, the low land on the farm flooded the neighboring Gunn Highway. In 1957, Hillsborough County officials offered to elevate the low land to stop the flooding by turning it into a landfill. When the property was sold in 1984 by Brown's father, soil testing revealed heaps of old paper and punctured cans of spray paint.
"They dug up and took out newspapers like the day they were put in," Brown said. "It reminded me of nuclear bombs that were going to go off. They dumped everything in the landfill."
As a child, Brown foraged at nearby dumpsters. County workers saved junk for him that people dropped off. One day, Brown's parents got a call from his elementary school teacher and told them that Brown had $100 in his pocket and that he must be stealing.
Brown picked up the saved junk after school and turned it into something new. Contrary to his elementary school teacher's accusation, he wasn't a thief after all. Instead he was a young entrepreneur who sold other people's trash.
"There was so much excess coming into the landfill," Brown said. "There was so much waste from our society."
However, Brown's mother wanted him to pursue his talents and dreams, not money. But he developed a business sense during his young junk collecting days and told his mother, "I'm not going to be an artist. I've read that artists starve to death."
Brown's mother became concerned. He said his mother knew "the value of happiness and the travels of life" and sent him to a summer art class.
The art teacher inspired awe in Brown. She taught him how to reuse baby food jars by melting the glass and adding marbles to the mix to create paper weights. The teacher had traveled to Hong Kong, China and Hiroshima, Japan after World War II. She saw how people were forced to recycle and reuse items out of necessity after the war. This left an impression on Brown.
It was at this time that he personified the name Hong Kong Willie, which harkens back to China where the mass production of merchandise occurs. The "Willies" are people like Brown and other environmentalists who try to reuse trash instead of throwing it into landfills.
After high school, Brown went to college to study business but dropped out after three years. He worked in the material handling industry until 1981. Although Brown had achieved a successful career and lifestyle, he had become discouraged in 1979.
"The change came from knowing that I had come to the point of what people call success," Brown said. "I wasn't happy inside."
He had been diagnosed with depression in 1973, a condition that was caused from high fructose intake and that lasted for more than four years.
In 1985, Brown and his artist wife, Kim, bought the half-acre property off Fletcher Avenue and Morris Bridge Road. For two decades the two small wooden shacks, built around 1965, that now house the gallery operated as a bait and tackle shop.
Nowadays, Brown raises and sells worms by the pound mainly for composting. He recycled 250 thousand pounds in the worm bed in 2009. Brown still sells the worms for $4.50 a cup for fishing.
In 1981, Brown resurrected the Hong Kong Willie name from his childhood art class. In the early 1980s, both he and his wife, Kim, began upcycling trash into art. Brown entered another world when he left his mainstream lifestyle behind — he joined the art scene and booked rock bands at the same time.
The Brown family spent half their time in Tampa and the other half in a small home on Boot Key Harbor in Marathon. Brown gained the reputation of the Key West lobster buoy artist.
"I had a total different appearance when in Key West," Brown said. "I used to have hair down to my waist."
When Brown came back to Tampa, he lived in the woods for months at a time, much like Henry David Thoreau in "Walden," who had lived a simple lifestyle in a one room cabin near Walden Pond in Concord, Mass.
Back in Key West, Brown became friends with local fishermen. He and others organized efforts to clean up plastic foam buoys that had collected in the waterways from years of fishing.
"You would go and find buoys floating in the mangroves, up on the shore and they had trashed up everything," Brown said.
The Earth Resource Foundation reports that plastic foam is dumped into the environment. It breaks up into pieces and chokes animals by clogging their digestive system.
Brown sells the buoys from the Hong Kong Willie Art Gallery for $8.00 a piece. He said he has sold from 30 to 40 thousand buoys in the last ten years. Some of the buoys are more than 50 years old and are collected by tourists from China and Japan.
"If you go to the Keys right now and you see a buoy floating, you'll see someone slam on the brakes to get it," Brown said. "They're the most prized buoys of the world."
Brown made a holiday buoy tree 12 years ago from the Key West buoys. Hundreds of buoys are strung on rope and wrapped around a utility pole next to the gallery. Brown hopes the novelty of the buoy tree will inspire and stimulate children to find new ways to reduce, reuse and recycle garbage.
In Kate Shoup's "Rubbish! Reuse Your Refuse," the author said much of what we get is designed to be scrapped after only a few uses. We easily throw away pens, lighters, razors and dozens of other items. Shoup said Americans consume 2 million plastic drink bottles every 5 minutes.
Likewise, Brown finds uses for items that would otherwise end up in a landfill. He buys used burlap bags from coffee and peanut producers. He sells them to the U.S. National Forestry Service for the collection of pine seeds and Samuel Adams for hops production.
Brown and his wife, Kim, also make art hippie bags from the burlap sacks and sell them in the gallery. Kim, also an artist, paints fish, turtles, crows, parrots and the like on driftwood and on wood that Brown has salvaged from saw mills and from old buildings in Key West.
Brown said art is viewed and appreciated by certain people. "If it all came out the same, it would be like bland grits all the time," Brown said. He likes to refer to the gallery art as reused rather than recycled, which takes waste and turns it into an inferior product. Reuse on the other hand involves remaking an item and using it again for the same intended purpose.
"I also try to stay away from imprinting a definite use for a definite item," Brown said. He explains that 2-liter bottles are not limited to making bird feeders. The bottles can be used for art and craft projects as well.
Brown said the larger message he wants to communicate is that the disposal of garbage today is creating a toxic environment."I still have the original Gerber baby food bottle that I melted" Brown said. "It's sitting on my mom's little table."

Yoko Ono's solo career has mapped a sometimes bitter, sometimes endearing, struggle to realize avant-garde ambitions within a pop context. With Starpeace, Yoko's fourth album since John Lennon's death, this struggle has achieved a successful and satisfying end.
Coproducer Bill Laswell's unerring sensitivity to Yoko's idiosyncratic vision is one important reason why Starpeace seamlessly fuses artistic daring and accessibility. Laswell's rainbow coalition of all-star players — including violinist L. Shankar, keyboardist Bernie Worrell, guitarist Eddie Martinez, the Sly and Robbie riddim section and drummer Tony Williams — embellishes the LP's twelve tunes with such skill, originality and intelligence that every aural detail finds a comfortable place within the ensemble scheme. The polyglot arrangements, flashing a hip disregard for genre distinctions (and littered with nearly subliminal Beatles references), sound contemporary while drawing on every significant pop-music style of the past two decades. A soaring violin passage and an electric-sitar solo grace the reggae lilt of "I Love All of Me," for example, while a battery of dance-groove electronic effects envelopes the reminiscences of "In Cape Clear."
Equally important, the album's instrumental textures exploit the breathy rhythmic energy and childlike lyricism of Yoko's vocals, which are often shadowed by soulful background singers Yolanda Lee Lewis and Bernard Fowler. As a result, the heart cries of "Hell in Paradise" and "Remember Raven," the sense of wonder of "Sky People," the anthemic surge of "Children Power" and the expansiveness of the title track all register their widely varied emotional meanings with appropriate force.
Ideologically, Yoko remains a Utopian. Here, as elsewhere, her songs dramatize the battle of ideals for survival against the atrocities of our time. Still, it remains to be seen if commercial radio and the general public will give Starpeace a chance. But, whether they do or not, there can be no denying that this fifty-two-year-old pop star now fully deserves to be reckoned with on her own demanding terms.

Turbo Timer - LED
Additional Information
Full Product Info
Is this product for you?
Having a turbo timer fitted to your turbocharged vehicle can be the difference between a long, healthy life of your turbocharger and premature turbo failure. A turbocharger produces an astronomical amount of heat, sometimes upwards of 700°C, and is cooled only by oil and water lines that feed through the turbo when the vehicle is running. Turning the vehicle off immediately after driving also turns off these cooling systems which protect the turbo shaft and bearings; potentially leading to thermal distortion or bearing failure. The LED Turbo Timer allows the vehicle to stay running at idle for a pre-programmed amount of time once the user has removed the key from the ignition; this allows the user to leave the vehicle while it is left to cool for up to nine and a half minutes. Being a component that allows the fuel pump to continue running once ignition has been cut, this turbo timer must be only installed by a professional electrician and is suited for track cars only.
There are rules and regulations that cover the installation of aftermarket components in Australian road vehicles. As these rules differ from state to state, please check with your local transport authority for further information.
- Compact design
- Perfect for hard working turbo-charged cars
- Allows the turbo to cool down safely before turning off the engine
- Adjustable timer between 1 - 9:50 Mins
- Helps keep your turbo in healthy condition

The below 10 key points about the benefits of online training will help you convince head honchos that it's time to adopt technology-enabled learning tools in your organization.
|Photo: FreeDigitalPhotos.net
Embracing new learning methods has completely transformed the education and training industries these last few years. The ability to learn online has increased flexibility of learning and reduced building and maintaining costs.
Moreover, research has proved that online training can be more fun and engaging than other forms of instructor-led training. Online training can provide just-in-time training, and it leads to higher rates of retention. No wonder that even small-business entrepreneurs are jumping on the e-learning bandwagon.
However, when you're procuring buy-in from the people who hold the purse strings, the main advantage of online training to remember is the cost factor. Moving to a digital form of learning can translate into cost savings of more than 50%.
Here are 10 ways online training can help organizations save big.
1. Eliminating travel costs
The cost of travel has been rising steadily over the past few years, a trend expected to continue. Eliminating travel expenses can have a significant impact on training budgets, especially for global companies with offices across the country or around the world. Online training enables learners to access courses from a range of devices and from anywhere in the world, eliminating the travel cost factor.

As a follow-up to the GDX update posted earlier today before the market opened, here's the updated chart of GDX along with the chart posted in earlier this morning. GDX did go on to breakdown below both the bearish pennant continuation pattern as well as the 26.50 minor support just below & has recent hit the first of the support levels (25.65) on that 60-minute chart. That support level was set at the reaction high near the bottom of the large June 23/24th gap and as such, the odds for at a reaction off that moderate support level are quite elevated.
With the closing bell ringing as I type, I'd have to say that while I can see the possibility for a little more upside following the bounce off that level so far carrying over into early trading tomorrow (GDX bounced a little higher since the screenshot above to close at 25.90), I'm still leaning towards more impulsive selling down to at least the first target on the GDX/NUGT short (or DUST long) of 24.85 & quite possibly to the top of the June 3rd gap around 24.00. The previous 4-hour chart (first one below) shows the timely entry on the GDX official short trade at the top of the recent bearish pennant/snap-back rally (while unofficially, it was covered as an objective short just off the highs). I've also added that 24.00ish support/potential target on the updated 4-hour chart (second below) for those wanting to hold out for additional gains beyond T1 but shy of T2 although the official price targets remain 24.85 & 22.28.

Broad Beans also known as Horse Bean, English Bean ,Tick Bean got their name from m the seeds which are large . It is best to plant this crop from September to March because it requires a Cold Season for best growth. Moderate moisture supply is necessary for this bean to flourish well . Therefore it is grown in Winter. It is eaten as Vegetable .
Broad Beans are very nutritious , principal Protein for Vegetarians and roasted seeds are eaten like Peanuts in India . Protein content is high . Adding just a handful of these beans to Salads , Stir fries or Breakfast recipes provides a boost of Protein , fiber , Potassium and energy providing B vitamins. Most Beans including Broad Beans are Good Source of Iron.
Idli is a traditional Breakfast in every South Indian Household which needs Soaking, Grinding and Fermentation ( These Idli's are good source of Protein and Carbohydrates) . Sometimes we don't have time to do this preparation and look for Instant versions. Broad Beans Idli is an instant Steamed version prepared with Rice Flour , Moong Dal , Cooked Broad Beans and flavored with Spices is a perfect Morning Balanced Breakfast with Almond Chutney ( Can eaten without Chutney too) and a Cup of Hot Cocoa .
This time I found Broad Beans which are not Flat , dry but Meaty and plump Beans inside . I cooked 3/4 th of Beans as Stir fry and saved One Cup to prepare Broad Beans Idli which turned out good. My family likes to eat Rice flour idli's which are Chewy and texture is most like Modak. Select Board Beans which are still young , tender and Plumpy . So you can cook along with skin . Take out fiber from both sides before you Pressure Cook.
Talking about rice , it is a Staple food for many Asian Countries and is rich in Carbohydrates and all forms of activity require energy and quickest source is from rice. Skip this important component in your diet you will feel Sluggish and lack of energy . Low in sodium content makes a good choice for those with High Blood pressure.
Brown rice contains more fiber than White rice due to husk . Brown rice has much higher levels of Phosphorous and Magnesium the 2 nutrients that nourish your Skeleton. Brown has low GI , takes longer time to break down because it contains more fiber.
Rice is not so bad , but rather what is served and with what it is cooked is important.

Last of the MohicansThursday, February 25, 2016
I had the privilege of attending the Gastroenterology and Hepatology Symposium at, none other than the "happiest" place on earth - Disneyland. Although some of the terminology used during the talks were foreign to me, it reassured my decision to pursue a career in healthcare. I know it may sound a bit cliché however, the endless possibilities in science and medicine never ceases to amaze me. The research that goes into discovering relationships between potential drug alternatives and the prevention of diseases is amazing... actually, amazing is an understatement. This isn't the outfit I wore to such a formal event, obviously. I decided to mix a bit of rebellion into my bohemian-esque attire. My mom bought me this enchanting long cardigan sweater from Anthropologie for Christmas. Do you guys ever buy things, shove it in the back of your closet and rediscover it a few months later? If so, high five! We're on the same boat! Well, to juxtapose the long cardigan, I chose to pair this with a simple black mini dress. To complete my look, I chose black and gold accessories. Hope you like this outfit!

International Students
Welcome to the mentor program
What is the mentor program?
The start at another university and especially in another country can be very tricky. Not only the lectures and the way of learning are often different but also the culture, the people and of course the language. The mentor program wants to make the start a little easier for you. Therefore, you get a personal mentor who can answer most of your questions. The mentors are German students who have already studied in Tübingen for several semesters and mabye made an exchange themselves. They often know how it is like to be an international student and at the same time they are familiar with the university, the faculty and the town. They are happy to share their experiences with you and help you with any of your problems - for example: Where do I need to go if I have problems with my computer or with the administration? What do professors and the university expect from you in Tübingen? How can I look for a certain book in the library? How does an exam in German law look like? But the mentors can not help you studying. Often, your mentors have not even been to the same classes and lectures and do not know anything about their subjects. Primary, studying is your personal obligation in Germany. If you need help with learning, you need ask your class mates or your professor.
How do I apply for a mentor?
Klick here to get to the application. It is going to be unlocked on April 16, 2018 at 6:00 p.m. For the application login with your student ID (for example zxnus49) and your passwort on top left corner. Scroll down until you see "Mentors for International Students". The list shows you the mentors with the place, date and time of their first meeting. You can simply register for one. Most of the time you just get to know each other on the first meeting. Often you will go to a bar or restaurant which depends on the mentor. But of course you can already ask all the questions that you have. After that there are no frequent meetings during the semester. But your mentor will be happy to help you with your problems and meet up with you anytime
Do you have question or did you miss the application?
If you have questions or advices for things we could do better or if you missed the application, you can contact us anytime. Just write us an email and we will answer you soon.

Truffles are a powerful ingredient. A little goes a long way, and that's a good thing considering how expensive they are. An individual fresh black truffle typically costs over $100. Last week I performed a minor miracle when I made an incredible truffle butter chicken breast that tasted as though it had been marinating in a second mortgage amount of truffles. And it cost me less than for under $10.
|Truffle Butter Chicken Served with Very Mushy Butternut Squash
The source of all that intense flavor was just a pat of truffle butter bought at Whole Foods for $8.99, no doubt made from specks of discarded truffles. But I had a little help from a secret weapon: the Sous Vide Supreme demo unit I was trying out for a week.
|Lowering the Chicken in the Sous Vide Unit
One of my favorite benefits of Sous Vide technology is how it intensifies the flavors of the spices that are vacuum sealed with the meat or fish it is cooking. Even dried and dusty supermarket herbs can taste magical after an hour or two in the Sous Vide water bath.
Although the recipe below is for truffle butter chicken, it could be used for any type of chicken dish in the sous vide machine. As time is not critical in sous vide cooking, the only important factor is temperature. Ten degrees can mean the difference between a pink center and a gray center. For white meat chicken, the target temperature is 140 to 146 degrees Fahrenheit.
|Pan frying the chicken to give it some texture
I topped the truffle butter chicken with a creamy shiitake sauce. Although the sauce was earthy and delicious, it didn't mask the truffle flavor in the least. Each bite of the chicken was soft, tender, and exquisitely infused with the unique aroma of truffles.
Truffle Butter Sous Vide Chicken
Serves 2
Active Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Total Cooking Time: 1 hour
For the Chicken:
2 Boneless Chicken Breasts
4 tablespoons of truffle butter (or any other flavored butter such as thyme shallot)
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
For the mushroom sauce:
1 cup of shiitake mushrooms, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
4 tablespoons of salted butter
2 shallots, chopped finely
1/3 cups of creme fraiche or heavy cream
- Set the Sous Vide machine to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. It may take up to 30 minutes for it to reach that temperature.
- Cut a flap halfway through each chicken breast. Lift the flap and place the pat of truffle butter under. Repeat for the other chicken breast.
- Vacuum seal the chicken breasts individually in a small BPA-free sous vide safe plastic bag. Place each bag in the sous vide machine. Cook for at least 45 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large frying pan on high heat. Remove the chicken breasts from the sous vide and the vacuum sealed bags. Crisp them in the pan for 30 seconds on each side. Set aside.
- Add the salted butter to the large frying pan on medium heat. Add the shallots and the mushrooms and saute until soft and fragrant. Add the creme fraiche and stir well until boiling. Make sure you scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Pour on top of the chicken breasts and serve immediately.

This is a big round-up/review of the entire tournament; a collection of my thoughts about all 12 days and 24 competitors. I'll even throw in videos to my top 10 matches (thanks to Original Bonski for uploading them), which you really need to see if you haven't already.
The Best Stories of G1 24
Apart from the awesome matches, G1 was so successful this year because of the tournament-spanning stories that it told, which made just about every one of the 24 competitors, and their matches, feel important, rather than just filling up the numbers.
Honma's Plight - As the last minute replacement for Kota Ibushi, who suffered a concussion two weeks before, Tomoaki Honma was not expected to win many, or any, matches in this tournament. What he was expected to do was put in a hell of an effort, do some crazy diving headbutts, and lose valiantly. He did all this, but much more as well, as he connected with the crowd at just about every show better than anyone else on the card. The fans were solidly behind the underdog Honma, in a way that was very reminiscent of Daniel Bryan's support. Honma was getting good reactions this year before G1 Climax, but despite losing every single match this tournament, Honma is now more over than ever before, and New Japan would be silly to not capitalise on that at some point. If Honma were to connect with the Kokeshi headbutt from the top rope and win a match, perhaps at Wrestle Kingdom in January, the crowd would blow the roof off the building.
AJ Styles proves himself - Going into the G1, AJ Styles had not been fully accepted by the Japanese fans as the IWGP Heavyweight Champion and a legitimate main-eventer. This was his chance to prove that he belonged in the top tier of NJPW and he absolutely delivered, putting on multiple great matches with a variety of opponents, including a 5 star instant classic with Minoru Suzuki at Korakuen Hall. After that match, Styles was getting some of the best reactions from the crowd of anyone in the tournament. Styles has proven that he is still one of the best wrestlers in the world, something that hadn't been apparent for some time due to being buried under all of TNA's bullshit booking, and I'm looking forward to his Championship defenses this autumn.
Bullet Club don't cheat - A scary prospect heading into this year's G1 was whether the Bullet Club would run constant interference in their matches, which had been their MO in most matches this year. This wouldn't have ruined the tournament, but would have caused much eye-rolling from fans on every show. Thankfully, New Japan avoided BC shenanigans almost entirely, allowing the guys to actually wrestle. Interference was used sparingly, and used well when it did happen, such as at the Finals, where Yujiro Takahashi attacked Tomohiro Ishii in his match against Karl Anderson, only for YOSHI-HASHI to take 100 levels in badass to save his CHAOS teammate and chuck out Yujiro. Hopefully this trend of limited interference will continue for the Gaijin Gang.
|Everybody hurts... sometimes...
Random Thoughts
- Shelton Benjamin winning his first 4 matches of the tournament was a great way of making a guy who was otherwise 'filling up the numbers' feel important, and it made Benjamin's next few matches seem much more significant as he had a chance to win it.
- Tenzan and Kojima, at 43 years of age, proved that they definitely still have something left in the tank, with several good performances by both men. I was harsh on Tenzan in my preview, but I have egg on my face now. Hopefully they can carry that form into their tag team matches for the rest of the year.
- Yuji Nagata is even older at 46, but moves like he's Okada's age. I loved his matches with Ishii and Shibata, which looked absolutely brutal.
- Doc Gallows has 2 main event matches against two of the best in Nakamura and Tanahashi, but he did nothing special in either one. Disappointing tournament for Gallows, who won't have the spotlight on him in that way again for a while.
- Bad Luck Fale can only have great matches with Nakamura. It's like Nakamura can see inside his brain, because he's really not very good against anyone else.
- Yujiro was poor. He hasn't been good as a Bullet Club member and I can't remember one of his matches from this tournament.
- Toru Yano was great in his role of bullshitting comedy pest, stealing points off better wrestlers by cheating and conniving. His matches were great changes of pace in-between more serious matches that might otherwise have blurred together.
- Tetsuya Naito was in a difficult spot in this tournament, since it seems like half of Japan hates him while the other half love him, but he played 'subtle heel' in Osaka and Korakuen very well. Maybe he should permanently turn heel?
- Minoru Suzuki was fantastic; his matches with Styles and Okada are must-sees. He needs to get away from his never-ending feud with Yano and get back to serious stuff, because he's an absolute master and needs more chances to put on great matches.
- Lance Archer impressed me a lot; he was easily the best 'big man' in the tournament, although his tag partner Davey Boy Smith Jr. was also good in his role. I'm looking forward to what they can put together as a tag team in the autumn.
- Shibata's spinning back hand strike is the best move in pro wrestling today. It makes me wince every time he hits it, and his opponents have always sold it well by going down like a ton of bricks.
- It was odd to see only 5 wrestlers on the final day still in contention to go to the final. Last year almost everyone still had a chance to win their block, but eliminations were earlier this year, as the main eventers were booked much more strongly than in the last couple of G1 tournaments.
- The Seibu Dome was not a great wrestling venue, but it was a spectacle. I'm a mark for stadium shows, since they're so rare and they look very special, and this one was no different; a great place to hold the grand final to such an amazing tournament. The main stage looked better than most WWE PPV stages these days.
- Oh yeah, Jeff Jarrett joined the Bullet Club. I'm not going to say that they're jumping the shark with that; in fact it's a smart move that gets more American attention on New Japan. But it's not going to make the Bullet Club more interesting, and Double J probably won't even be at most of the shows for the rest of the year.
|I'm having PTSD flashbacks to TNA.
10. Shinsuke Nakamura vs Katsuyori Shibata - Night 1
A battle between two of the new generation 'Three Musketeers' that was hard-hitting and showed that Shibata would be a contender in the tournament by beating Shinsuke. A good place to start watching the tournament if you weren't following it live.
9. AJ Styles vs Kazuchika Okada - Night 1
An excellent first main event of the tournament and the first indication that this would be a tournament to remember for Styles. It's also the best of their three matches this year in my opinion.
8. Yuji Nagata vs Tomohiro Ishii - Night 11
Right at the end of the tournament, this match was meaningless in determining the winner of the A Block, but you wouldn't know it from the brutality of the match. Both Nagata and Ishii brought the fight, with some wicked strikes and holds that are a staple of the Japanese strong style.
7. Shinsuke Nakamura vs Tomohiro Ishii - Night 7
The main event of the Korakuen Hall show, this match saw best friends deliver a match that felt like a main event, not just another tournament match. It was overshadowed by Styles/Suzuki on the night, but when seen in isolation, it really is awesome. My two favourite wrestlers right now tearing it up.
6. Tomohiro Ishii vs Katsuyori Shibata - Night 10
This was a re-match to one of the best matches of 2013, and wasn't as good as that classic. Ishii's separated shoulder is partly to blame for that, but both men used that injury and worked it into the match, with Shibata kicking it like Adam Vinatieri and Ishii always coming back for more, as well as a strike exchange where Shibata put his own arm behind his back to make it fair. Badass.
5. Kazuchika Okada vs Minoru Suzuki - Night 11
The last match of the Blocks, and one that will be overlooked because of the Styles/Suzuki classic, but this was an amzing match in its own right. Okada having to win the match to win the block, and Suzuki being the sleazy brick wall of a veteran trying to stop him doing that was an excellent dynamic. The hot crowd fully behind Okada, and the final Rainmaker where Suzuki landed on his head, really made this match special.
4. Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Katsuyori Shibata - Night 4
An emotionally charged grudge match that had been years in the making; Tanahashi/Shibata was the match everyone wanted to see in this year's G1. Although they left a bit of room for a better match in the future, this was a fantastic mach that felt like it could have main evented any New Japan show, something that most of the main events in the tournament didn't achieve. I hope they go back to this feud, possibly for Wrestle Kingdom in January, because given 5-10 more minutes, they can do even better.
3. Katsuyori Shibata vs Tomoaki Honma - Night 8
This match was somehow even more emotional than the Tanahashi/Shibata blood feud match, since the Osaka crowd was fired up and totally behind Honma, while Shibata and Honma looked like they were destroying each other. Shibata's spinning backhand followed by Honma's flying Kokeshi was my second favourite spot of the entire tournament. Some people are saying Honma should have won this match since the crowd were more ready for it then than at any other point, but I don't mind him losing, since it is his gimmick and it's what keeps the fans cheering him. If he starts to win, then the underdog aura fades and he becomes just another guy, albeit one with a ridiculous diving headbutt.
2. Shinsuke Nakamura vs Kazuchika Okada - The Final
This was the most historically significant match of the G1, and one that perfectly suited the grand stage of the Seibu Dome. The story of Nakamura; the veteran main eventer, taking on his stablemate and protege Okada, was encapsulated in one spot; the best spot of the entire tournament. Okada sets up the Rainmaker and nearly hits it, but Nakamura just avoids it and craftily counters into a cross armbar, which Okada manages to fight out of. It was the perfect summation of their characters and wrestling styles, and looked awesome to boot. Moments like that make matches special. The finish was also spectacular, with Okada hitting three Rainmakers to send a message to Nakamura, the New Japan roster, and the world, that he is now the dominant wrestler, not Nakamura or Tanahashi. No one has ever kicked out of a full-power Rainmaker, so to hit three in a row was just overkill. It was about the message, not the match, and you have to think that some of that is out of kayfabe as well. The translations of Okada and Gedo's post-match promo show that Okada is feeling more confident than ever, and his yanking the mic away from mouthpiece Gedo again sent a message that he is ready to carry New Japan as it goes through this boom period as THE top guy. Matches and moments like that is why I love pro wrestling.
1. Minoru Suzuki vs AJ Styles - Match 7
Even after all the lip service I just paid for the Nakamura/Okada final, there was one match that will go down as an instant classic, and one that any pro wrestling fan NEEDS to watch, whether they've ever watched Japanese wrestling or not. Suzuki vs Styles was a masterclass of of selling, storytelling and wrestling. This is the match that has cemented AJ Styles in New Japan and gotten him over with the Japanese audience. To pardon the pun, the clash of styles between AJ's agility and Suzuki's size was perfectly utilised, and both guys proved that they are great technical wrestlers as well. You really need to see it to believe the hype, so here it is:
G1 Climax 24 was a wild ride, and hopefully New Japan can carry the momentum they've created into the autumn and the double 'Destruction' shows. Stars have been born, reinforced and given one last hurrah in this amazing tournament, and I'll remember it for a long time. The Best Wrestling Tournament Ever? Quite probably.

All of them satrted as the underdog, the victim.
First let's talk about Salma, a 16 year old from a remote village, sang all the way up the limelight of beaming CloseUp 1 stages. Everytime she sings, her underdog status generates sentiment throughout the nation and ensures her a good some 300,000 votes whatever she sings.
And she changed, amazingly witin a month. See how she changed from this to that.
And both of our top two leaders started as the victim also, as the the underdog. Sympathy of a murdered family or a murdered husband earned them millions of followers and votes.
And they also started like this
Later became this
ultimately this.
At this time, to the nation these three women are the good, bad and the ugly. While there is no doubt about who is the good one, the nation is devided into two halves in deciding who is bad and who is ugly. Half the nation believes one is bad and the other is ugly while the other half vice versa. And as we talk now, they are locked in pitched battle to settle the issue.

You know what really grinds my gears?
Well, I will tell you. Baseball commentators consistently talk about National League style baseball. They talk about how National League teams bunt and run more, and play an older style of the game. Well, that is bullshit…Let me explain.
Tonight, during the Red Sox-Angels game, Buck Martinez made numerous dumb comments. Not only was he trying to tell Don Orsillo (who called every Red Sox game this season) that he was wrong about how teams aligned defensively against David Ortiz, but he also mentioned how strange it was to see two American League teams that rely so heavily on the running game. Well, Buck, I loved you in Triple Play 97, but you are a moron.
I only looked at stats back to the year 2000, more because I am lazy than anything, but in six of the last ten seasons, American League teams have averaged more steals than National League teams. Every year has been close, though. The widest margin in fact, was in 2001 when an average AL team stole 118 bases, and an average NL team stole only 91.
The idea that AL teams just go station to station and wait for a homer is preposterous. Certainly there are teams that do this, but even Billy Beane's Moneyball squad stole 133 bags this year (he must not believe in his theories anymore).
NL fans are screaming, "but we bunt guys over and do double switches."
Well, yes. You do, but only because when the DH rule came around, every pitcher, no matter the league, forgot completely how to hit. There is no use in having NL pitchers hit anymore because they are just wasting everyone's time.
"Its part of the game!"
No, it was part of the game, back when pitchers had pride, and didn't take three down the chute, and go back to drink a Red Bull in the dugout (Anyone else see the treasure chest full of supplements and goodies in the Dodger's dugout?).
But i digress. Looking at the numbers, the NL averages about twice as many sacrifice hits per team as the AL does, but a pitcher is going to bunt at least once every game. So, in my most distinguished opinion, I would infer that the amount of actual sacrifice hits, done in actual situations, by actual hitters, is about equal.
So Buck, and all you other commentators who like to fill the space with words because you know no one knows better, shut the hell up. Why? Because I know somewhere down the road, some guy at the mall, or church, or even at a baseball game is going to tell me about how the NL is better because they play a more entertaining style of baseball, and I know they know nothing about baseball, but they heard it from some poor old sap like you.
Sorry, but TBS is killing me. Dick Stockton referred to Ronnie Belliard solely as "Belisario" at one point tonight. I would rather have Charles Barkley call the games if Turner is going to be involved (I love Chip Caray, you aren't included in this rant).
2 More Myths about NL Baseball that People are Always Wrong About
#1: Managing in the NL is Harder:
The common point: Managing in the NL is harder because you have to pinch hit for your pitcher, and make double switches, and all that jazz.
My counterpoint: Okay, so its the 6th inning, your team is down one. Your pitcher has thrown 92 pitches, and has shown a few signs of wear. He is a proud guy and never wants to give up the ball. Do you tell him to go back out there for the 7th, or keep him in and replace him with some shlub who failed as a starter?
Well, if you're an NL manager, its easy. You have some guy that plays nine positions (none well) but can swing the bat a little, hit for the pitcher, and the pitcher understands because he hasn't swung a bat since college, for some reason.
If you're an AL manager you gotta let "The Rocket" go back out there, and then go talk him down from 'roid rage after he walks the other team's 9 hitter (who can work a count, because its the AL, and he's not a pitcher).
In the AL, you actually have to figure out when a pitcher's done. In the NL, he's done when his at bat means something. Also, its a lot easier to keep a clubhouse happy when every slob gets to pinch hit every night. Try keeping Eric Hinske happy when he bats once a month. He will tear your goddamn arms off.
#2: Guys don't get Thrown at in the NL because Pitchers have to Bat.
This one is just pure garbage. The argument is that NL pitchers do not throw at opposing players because they know they have to bat, and think they will get thrown at.
The HBP numbers are again, the same in both league for the last ten years, but if you dig deeper, you can understand. Obviously, if a pitcher hits your best hitter you get really angry, and you want to throw it right at the pitcher's head. But then, you, being an NL pitcher, think for a moment.
"Hmmm…Why would I throw at Tim Lincecum who is hitting .152 with 36 k's in 66 ab's when I can just strike him out and drill Pablo Sandoval with 2 outs and nobody on?"
So, throw that out the window. Myths. The NL and AL are the exact same except for the DH rule, and the NL has the Mets which makes them an inferior league.

I've been blissfully on holidays for more than a week. No early starts, no rushed commutes.
You'd think that would have been a good chance to catch up on sleep, but noooooo.
I've been waking up around 3 or 4am every morning in a total panic.
It takes me about an hour or two to talk myself off the mental ledge and back to sleep (if I'm lucky).
I'm battling a few health and forward-planning issues that have gripped my heart and mind in those dark, quiet hours.
And despite knowing that 4am is NOT the time to consult Doctor Google, I find myself researching hideous medical conditions when I should be chanting calming mantras to myself and returning to the land of nod.
My days, as a result, are a blur of exhaustion and caffeine, which is NOT how a relaxed holiday with the kids should be.
Fortunately, the kids and I are taking it pretty easy. They've had a pretty hectic time recently: two weeks in Tasmania and a week with their grandparents, so they're happy to slouch on the couch or walk the dogs.
The youngest and I have also gone on a few bushwalks so she can try out the new gym gear she got for Christmas. She's absurdly proud of that blue Addidas singlet and the shiny gym shorts.
We also bought a copy of the second season of The X-Files to binge on at night.
The first episode went down a treat, it was about aliens making contact. But the eldest totally freaked out over the second episode about a giant humanoid fluke worm living in the sewers and attacking people.
She took the disc out of the DVD player when it finished, handed it to me and said she wasn't watching another episode EVER.
It's not the first time. We had another "incident" with The X-Files back in 2013.
She lost it over an episode where a fungus was discovered in a volcano and it took over people's bodies and eventually killed them, with a prong of spore shooting through their chests. She asked for it to be turned off halfway through and ran to her room in tears.
It would seem that while orcs getting their heads smashed in with axes is totally fine, anything involving spores and other insidious organisms is NOT. (She must NEVER see Contagion, which I came across on the tellie again the other night and is HARROWING. Any overseas travel would be forever off limits to us.)
Isn't it funny the things that do or don't freak out kids?
The youngest on the other hand can watch absolutely anything and not bat an eyelid or utter the smallest of shrieks in her sleep.
What freaks your kids out?

Optically guided neuron growth is a relatively new field where the exact mechanisms that initiate growth are not well understood. Both Gaussian light beams and optical line traps have been purported to initiate neuronal growth. Here we present a detailed study using optical line traps with symmetric and asymmetric intensity profiles which have been previously reported to bias the direction of neuronal growth. In contrast to these previous studies, we show similar levels of growth regardless of the direction of the intensity variation along the line trap. Furthermore, our experimental observations confirm previous suggestions that the filopodia produced from neuronal growth cones can be affected by laser light. We experimentally observe alignment of filopodia with the laser field and present a theoretical model describing the optical torques experienced by filopodia to explain this effect.
