Absinthe is not used like your everyday spirits including whiskey or rum. Absinthe provides extensive history and culture linked to it and was always prepared and drunk following a traditional ritual. There are two approaches that can answer your question how to prepare absinthe?. First is the classic French ritual and the subsequent is the more sophisticated Czech ritual. Both rituals are interesting and fun and perchance the key reason why absinthe takes up a place of pride amidst all alcoholic beverages.
Absinthe is manufactured out of a number of herbs just like wormwood, anise, fennel, veronica root, angelica, hyssop and many other herbs. The main herbs or the "holy trinity" as they are named are wormwood, anise, and fennel. The other herbs are widely used to color and add certain flavors to absinthe. All legitimate www.absintheflavoring.com absinthes are bitter because of the presence of absinthin an ingredient that is certainly contained in wormwood. To counter this bitter taste and then make the drink more palatable all absinthes are generally served with sugar. Sugar also improves the different herbal flavours in absinthe.
Absinthe rituals are majestic and contain special absinthe spoons, absinthe glasses, absinthe fountains, cold water, and sugar cubes. The standard absinthe routine is immortalized in a number of classic movies, plays and novels. The ritual has been specifically a subject of many paintings by great masters of the 19th century.
In the conventional French ritual, preferred by most connoisseurs, a dose or measure of absinthe is mixed in a specialized absinthe glass and a perforated absinthe spoon is placed on the rim of the glass. A sugar cube is put on the spoon and ice cold water is gradually dripped on the sugar cube. The liquid is dripped from an absinthe fountain. As the sugar cube melts it sheds through the perforations in the spoon into the glass, causing the louche effect. The absinthe in the glass transforms from emerald green to opaque opalescent white as essential oils from the numerous herbs in absinthe are brought on. As soon as the sugar cube is completely dissolved water is added and the drink is served. Absinthe is best relished if sipped slowly during a period of time. When sipped carefully you can check out unique results of absinthe do its stuff and you feel a clear headed inebriation that you might never experience with other drinks. Usually three portions of ice cold water are combined with one part of absinthe. The true connoisseurs add water thoroughly usually drop by drop since the green absinthe turns milky. This ritual contributes to the mystique and captivation of absinthe, the drink. Not any other drink on the planet is prepared using this type of fine ritual. This traditional ritual was adopted by both commoners and the aristocrats. Absinthe is never drunk neat and ice cubes by no means added in to the glass, only cold water is added in from an absinthe fountain.
With the return of absinthe everyone is taking great deal of interest in absinthe rituals and absinthe accessories. It isn't uncommon for true absintheurs to pay a lot of money to purchase nineteenth century classic absinthes, handcrafted absinthe spoons, fine absinthe glasses as well as other absinthe accessories.
Thankfully you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars to purchase absinthe and absinthe accessories.

News | Petroleos Mexicanos project 2020
Howden awarded $24.5M in orders from Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex)
Howden's Mexico team recently secured an $8.5M order for the supply of centrifugal fans and turbo blower packages for the new Dos Bocas oil refinery in Tabasco, Mexico. Following this, Pemex placed an order for the supply of six reciprocating compressors in the amount of $16M.
These wins are a direct result of the collaboration Howden can achieve across our global units. The teamwork between Howden Mexico and Howden's Compressor division and Howden's Thomassen Compressor division exemplifies our Global Resource, Local Presence strategy.
The Dos Bocas refinery is a 340,000 barrels per day (BPD) oil refinery under-construction in Tabasco, Mexico. Capable of producing 170,000 BPD of petrol and 120,000 BPD of ultra-low sulfur diesel, it will be the biggest refinery in Mexico.
State-owned oil and gas company Pemex will be the owner and operator of the refinery. The site preparation work for the $8bn refinery project started in June 2019, while Mexico's environmental regulator ASEA granted a construction permit in August 2019.
This site is scheduled to commence commercial production in 2022. The Dos Bocas refinery project is part of Mexico's National Refining Plan to reduce its reliance on fuel imports from the US.
The Dos Bocas refinery will include 17 processing units including a combined distillation plant, a delayed coking unit, a fluid catalytic cracker unit, a naphtha hydrotreating unit, a naphtha reforming unit, a Sulphur recovery plant, a gas recovery, and treatment facility, as well as a hydrogen-producing plant.
Howden will supply critical equipment for the
Sulphur recovery unit, including:
Three main air blower packages (SG Type C-CVC Single Stage Integrally Geared centrifugal compressor packages), assembly in Renfrew, Scotland
Four incinerator air blowers (Centrifugal flow fans type L1), manufacturing in the Mexico City, Mexico
Six reciprocating compressors

Titan Books Announces Kathryn Janeway Autobiography
The book will be released in 2020 along with two others, Titan announced today at DST.
BY StarTrek.com Staff
October 26, 2019 5:30 AM PDT
We've got great news for Star Trek book fans beaming out of Destination Star Trek Birmingham. Titan Books has announced the release of three new books; two art books, one centered on Star Trek: Discovery and the other on the art of Dan Curry, as well as an in-universe autobiography of Captain Kathyrn Janeway. There's something for every Trek fan here.
The Art of Star Trek: Discovery, written by Paula M. Block and Terry J. Erdmann, explores behind the scenes of the hit show, with cast and crew interviews, set photography, concept art and storyboards. With exclusive content from the first two seasons, this book is a must-have for every Star Trek fan. The book is set to be released before the third season of Discovery on April 28, 2020.
In The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway, edited by Una McCormack, we get to hear the story of one of Starfleet's greatest captain in her own words. We'll hear her side of the story about how she and her crew traveled further than any human ever had before, stranded decades from home while encountering new worlds and species. Explore how she brought together Starfleet and the Maquis as part of her crew, forged new alliances with species across the galaxy and overcame one of Starfleet's greatest threats – the Borg – on their own remote and hostile territory. And, we'll get Janeway's personal take on key characters such as Seven of Nine, her trusted friend Tuvok, new arrivals like Neelix and her second-in-command, Chakotay. Fans will be able to purchase the autobiography on July 14, 2020.
Finally, Dan Curry gets to shine in Star Trek: The Artistry of Dan Curry, written by Curry and Ben Robinson. In 50 years of Trek history, seven-time Emmy award winner Curry is one of the franchise's most enduring talents. His contributions have ranged from directing, title design and concept art, to practical on-set effects and weapon design. From The Next Generation to Enterprise, Curry's incredibly diverse Star Trek work has resulted in some of the series' most memorable moments. The book reveals the many and varied techniques used to produce some of the most spectacular visual effects used in the various series, while Curry also goes in-depth to divulge the secrets of some of his own personal favorite creations. The book includes photos and illustrations from Dan's personal collection, along with contributions from various Star Trek cast members including Michael Dorn and Scott Bakula. The book will be released on September 1, 2020.
This is an impressive array of books, with something for all fans to enjoy. Discovery fans will have a blast learning all about the making of the series, Janeway devotees can get a closer look at their favorite character, and all Trekkers can appreciate the talent that Curry has brought to the franchise through the decades. We can't wait to get our hands on all of these, and while sadly they won't be released this year, it only gives us more to look forward to in 2020 — as if Discovery's third season and Star Trek: Picard weren't enough!
The Art of Star Trek: Discovery is set to be released on April 28, 2020, priced at $39.95 and £29.99. The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway is set to be released on July 14, 2020, priced at $24.99 and £17.99. Star Trek: The Artistry of Dan Curry is set to be released on September 1, 2020, priced at $45 and £29.99.
Star Trek: Discovery streams exclusively on CBS All Access in the United States and is distributed concurrently by CBS Studios International on Netflix in 188 countries and in Canada on Bell Media's CTV Sci-Fi Channel and OTT service Crave.

Silver linings: It's Tuesday and I feel okay now
By Bill-in-Bangkok@billhorgan2005 Sep 14, 2021, 12:34pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Silver linings: It's Tuesday and I feel okay now
Yes, I watched the same game you did.
Yes, I know we lost.
Yes, I know that Ryan Fitzpatrick will miss half the season...maybe more.
But I feel okay.
I'm not happy that we lost by 4 points at home in the season opener, but half the league opens the season 0-1 every year. It's a marathon, not a sprint, and I don't think we have to start thinking about a top-5 pick in the 2022 draft just yet.
Tuning in late
Let me start with this idea. If you had been unable to see most of Sunday's game against the Chargers and had turned it on with 12:16 to play in the 4th quarter, here's what you would have seen: William Jackson III intercepted a Justin Herbert pass at the Washington 4 yard line.
That meant that the WFT offense took the field leading 16-13 with time for two or three drives left in the game. I imagine you'd have been excited and optimistic in that situation. I know I was at that point.
What happened before that?
The Chargers drove the length of the field for an easy touchdown on the opening drive of the season. That was unwelcome, but I felt pretty good at the time about the idea that it was the last time they'd do it in the game.
I was sort of right.
Defenses get evaluated in a lot of ways, but the two most common ways are yards surrendered and points surrendered. Of the two, points comprise the more important statistic by miles. If I am forced to choose between having the best defense as measured by yards or by points, I'll take points every time.
What I saw from Del Rio's defense last season was that they played tougher in the second half of the season than in the first; that they played tougher in the second half of games than in the first, and that they played tougher in the red zone than they did between the 20s.
Against the Chargers, Del Rio's defense was giving up yards (and I agree — far too many yards), but they weren't letting the Chargers cash in on those drives by finishing with touchdowns.
The 6 Chargers drives in the middle of the game
For all the issues that the defense had on Sunday, look at the result of the Chargers' drives after the initial TD and ending with the Jackson interception:
Field Goal
That's six points for the offense and two defensive takeaways in six drives. Yep, I know the sack-fumble in the WFT red zone was a questionable call. Every NFL game has questionable calls. Heck, if the refs had called the blatant early facemask penalty on the Antonio Gibson run, it might have been a totally different game. But they didn't. Shit happens.
The point is that, mid-4th quarter, Washington was leading the game and had gotten there by playing complementary football. The offense hadn't turned the ball over, the defense had forced two takeaways, Tress Way had punted well, and DeAndre Carter had justified his inclusion on the roster as a returner. The team had the ball and a 3-point lead.
Two terrible plays
Then the fumble happened. Antonio Gibson coughed the ball up on his own 3-yard line, basically gifting the Chargers a touchdown.
That play, and the infamous 3rd & 16 from the Chargers 29-yard-line with 5:29 left in the game were the two huge mistakes that ensured that Washington took the "L" to open the season.
Most games turn on a half dozen or fewer specific plays. This one was no different. Washington didn't look hapless against the Chargers, they looked like a team that has some issues to sort out.
I went on record prior to the start of the season with a 12-5 prediction, but I also said that I expect the team to open 3-4 in the first seven games. The defense is starting two rookies in Jamin Davis and Benjamin St-Juste, along with a rookie OT in Cosmi, and will rely heavily on rookie Dyami Brown in the pass game. We have (had?) a new quarterback. It's gonna take time for this young team to sort itself out, and it plays its toughest games early. We're gonna lose some games like the one this past Sunday — games where Cosmi gets schooled, St-Juste gets picked on, and Davis is a non-factor.
But if they can weather the early storm, I think the team will be able to beat some quality opponents in the middle of the season and then dominate the NFC East competition in December and January as the team matures and the depth of the roster begins to pay dividends.
The importance of the Thursday night game against the Giants
There are two significant outcomes from the Thursday night game at FedEx Field against the Giants.
First, the loser of that game will automatically be in last place in the NFC East by virtue of the fact that they will be winless, and that they will have the only NFCE divisional loss. By contrast, depending on what happens with the Eagles on Sunday, there's a good chance that the winner of the game will secure first place in the division by the time Week 2 ends. If the 49ers can defeat the Eagles, then there would be two or three teams with 1-1 records in the NFC East, but the winner of the TNF game will be the only one with a division win.
With Washington not playing another division game until Week 14, it would be great to log a division win.
Secondly, we all know how important it is to avoid an 0-2 start if a team has playoff aspirations.
Adding up the playoff teams and the seventh seeds over the last 19 seasons, it turns out that 58% of the teams that won their season openers would have made the playoffs under the current 14-team playoff rules. On the other hand, only 30% of the teams that lost their season openers would have gone on to reach the playoffs under the current system.
The table summarizes the historic playoff odds for making a 14-team playoff when you consider the first nine games of the season, based on a team's record at any given time.
That historic record puts a lot of pressure on the 16 teams that lost this weekend to go out and win their next game. A team that follows up a season-opening loss with more losses drops out of the playoff race pretty fast.
An 0-1 record means Thursday's game is already something of a must-win game. Start the season 0-2 and the odds of making the playoffs drop to just 13%. Open with three consecutive losses and for all practical purposes you can start planning for the 2022 draft.
Last night, I watched the Giants loss to the Broncos on replay. The Giants scored with 00:00 on the game clock to cut the Broncos' win margin from 20 points to 14 points. I saw nothing in that game to make me think that the Giants should be favored on Thursday night against the burgundy & gold.
In fact, the Football Team is favored by 4.5 points.
If Washington loses this week, then I'll be ready to consider hitting the panic button. But, if Ron Rivera's team can win this early NFCE matchup, consider what the early standings will look like if the 49ers (favored by 3.5 @ Philly) and the Chargers (favored by 2.5 vs Dallas) both win.
Hypothetical standings if the favored teams win in Week 2:
Washington 1-1 (1-0)
Philadelphia 1-1 (0-0)
Dallas 0-2 (0-0)
New York 0-2 (0-1)
With the soft mid-season schedule that Dallas has (and the relatively brutal schedule ahead for Washington) this isn't likely to last long, but it would be a nice way to get the bad taste of the Week 1 loss out of our mouths, and it would put the Giants under some pressure (though they have the opportunity for a "get well" game against Atlanta in Week 3), along with the Cowboys & Eagles, who play each other on Monday Night Football in Week 3.
Let's face it — this is as close to a 'must win' game as you can get in Week 2. Washington plays the Bills, Saints, Chiefs, Packers and Broncos before the Week 9 bye.
If Washington is going to win the division this season, they're going to have to do it by going 4-1 or 5-0 from Weeks 14 to 18 in five consecutive NFC East games. In the meantime, Thursday's prime time matchup at home against the New York Football Giants offers an opportunity to get an important division win and then a long week of rest and preparation before a tough road trip to Buffalo in Week 3.
Yes, the storm clouds rolled in on Sunday afternoon, but I still see some silver linings, and I'm nowhere close to giving up on the season after one disappointing outcome.

Home › Bachelor Nation › What the (expletive deleted) Did Arie Do?
What the (expletive deleted) Did Arie Do?
Okay, full disclosure. I did not watch the Women Tell All Sunday night. I was watching the Olympics' Closing Ceremony because I'm a sucker for pageantry, pomp, circumstance, 13 year old kids shredding the shit out of a guitar and as of roughly 9pm eastern time, K-Pop.
However, I have managed to catch up on what I missed thanks to the Internet and I have to say that I am very intrigued and very interested in what I missed.
Arie did something. I don't know what that something is, but he did it and my girl Caroline is NOT HAVING IT.
"This whole time, you've said that you are here because you are trying to find a wife," a clearly emotional Caroline Lunny said during the Women Tell All reunion. "I know what you did, and I don't know how you could do that. I just really don't understand. But I really hope you found what you're looking for."
Oooooooooooohhhhhh boy.
But wait, what did Arie do?
Lunny elaborated somewhat afterwards.
"I definitely had some things to say to Arie," she said. "I needed to say what I said. When somebody burns somebody you love, you want to have that moment where you get the last word in," she continued. "It was nice to have that moment and say 'Fuck y—,' a little bit. Not many people get that moment, and I'm really grateful that I kind of had it."
"It's funny because it was never about me and Arie," she clarified. "It was always about these girls. We became friends. My relationship with Arie didn't develop as fast as anyone else's. There were times when I really cared about him. When I left I said, 'No hard feelings, I think you're a really great guy and you're lucky you have really great girls in there. I wish you nothing but the best and I really hope you find her.' "
Again, not much to work from here.
So unless we want to dive into spoilers, all that we're left to do is speculate. Yes, speculating is dangerous business. It's like assumptions, but somehow worst. I assume you're up to no good, but I venture to speculate what kind of no good business you're up to. It's the difference between grasping at straws and picking out which straw is the one that is going to make you look like an ass by routinely floating away from you. It's an issue of intent.
With that being said, let's speculate.
What did Arie do???
Right off the bat, I'm speculating that Arie killed someone. Harsh, I know. Unlikely? Probably. He'd be locked in jail if he killed someone. Well, unless he was granted this brief release from jail to appear on Women Tell All, which seems like a stretch. But he is also a rich white dude, so it's not like it's completely out of the question. You can't tell me that at no point during this current season did you at least entertain the thought that Arie at least acts like a serial killer. He seems really clean. He doesn't talk a lot. He's kind of mysterious, but in a sketchy way. He keeps talking about being someone who goes to bed early and rarely do people who actually go to bed early talk about this a lot. Instead he talks about it in the way that someone would be talking about it so as to provide an alibi if they needed one.
Oh me, there's no way I could have murdered that person. It happened around midnight. I'm someone who goes to bed early. Ask any of the multiple women I recently dated simultaneously. They can tell you.
But again, if he did murder someone, it seems unlikely he'd be out and about, especially because according to reports, when Caroline brought it up, the other women were shocked that she had brought up, meaning that they too know about whatever it is he did. Do all these women know he killed someone, but not law enforcement? Doesn't that make them accomplices? Were they concerned for their own safety, the safety of their love ones? Is this like in the fourth episode of the Versace show, were David goes along with Andrew because he's worried Andrew might kill someone else if he doesn't? Also, shouldn't that show be called The Assassin of Gianni Versace instead of The Assassination of Gianni Versace? I realize it's about the overall act, but at this point it seems like it's a lot more about this Andrew fella. Just saying.
Either way, I think we can rule out murder.
So what is it then?
"I needed to say what I said. When somebody burns somebody you love, you want to have that moment where you get the last word in."
This is probably about Becca, the normal one, not the young one. She seemed pretty close with Caroline before Caroline was sent home. And look…
A post shared by Caroline Lunny 🏡 REALTOR (@carolinelunny)
Pictures of them on Instagram. You know what that means, right? Yeah. BEST FRIENDS.
So whatever happened, happened to Becca. This is a lock. Plus Lauren is probably the winner and she's like, whatever. Or maybe she isn't the winner. Maybe this is all barreling towards a conclusion where Arie walks away having proposed to neither of the remaining women. Maybe he led Becca along, made her think she was going to be the winner then left her in a cloud of dust…literally, because he's a race car driver in case you forgot and that would be super symbolic of him realizing his true love is racing, not Becca or Lauren or any of the other women he ditched along the way.
That's not super traumatic, though. It's not all that different from what has gone done in past seasons.
According to Chris Harrison, this season features a conclusion that is the "most dramatic ever" and if you read that and shrugged because Harrison says that about everything, co-showrunner Bennett Graebner revealed that the finale "will be something people haven't seen before."
Like murder?
NO! We already decided it wasn't murder.
Guys. You don't even know the half of it. Just watch tomorrow's episode… then the finale. 🥀
— Caroline Lunny (@CarolineLunny) February 26, 2018
Dude, that's not helping.
Let's take a moment and at least give some air time to the idea that Caroline could be just blowing "it" out of proportion in order to get some air time and then some life after the show. She did go home relatively early and even though she's an entertaining presence on Instagram, she might have needed to recharge that limelight in order to get some of those coveted endorsements Bach-alums are looking to snag. We do usually see a woman or two look to re-make a name for herself on Women Tell All, although in all fairness to Caroline it's usually someone who went home on night one and whenever they start talking you need to take a minute or two in order to remember who they are. This wasn't the case with Caroline. She was somewhat of a fan favorite and had made an impression on America at least before being sent home.
As far as looking to grab some attention, I'm not buying it. I'm also biased. I'm in the tank for Caroline. We're New Englanders. It's in our contract.
So what happened? We've ruled out murder. We've at least somewhat agreed that whatever happened, happened to Becca. But that's it.
Lightning round of speculation! Let's go.
Arie told Becca she was going to be the one, but then he bailed and picked Lauren
Arie told Becca he loved her, but then picked Lauren
Arie told Becca that the Vikings should have lost to the Saints and got lucky
Arie told Becca that he was going to pick her then when it was go time, had a change of heart
Arie told Becca he loved her just to engage in sexual relations with her in the fantasy suite
Arie told Becca that Minnesota accents are annoying
Arie made fun of Becca's family
Arie told Becca he loved her, but didn't mean it, then told Lauren that he told Becca that and Lauren told someone else about it who then told Caroline
Arie admitted to a producer that he got confused and meant to sent Becca home instead of BeKAH
Arie is a murderer
Arie's whole life is a lie and Becca found out he actually never won a race
Lightning round of speculation is now complete. We any closer to cracking this thing?
Well, let's look at this way.
The Olympics are over. We have some time to kill now. Time to focus on things like the Versace show and the NBA and whatever nonsense is going on with Trump now and the last few episodes of Top Chef. Let's just embrace this and go along for the ride. According to Caroline's tweet, we'll know some more tonight and even more next week. That's not a long time to wait. We can do this. We just need to be patient.
Also, Arie totally might be a murderer. I'm not ruling this out.

Robert Pattinson, a man used to being pursued by fans and paparazzi, managed to shoot an entire film on the streets of New York without being recognised, he said on Thursday (May 25) ahead of the movie's world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.
"Good Time" was filmed 'guerrilla style' among real people on the streets, meaning it was vital the camera-phones did not start firing, said Pattinson, who plays a man trying to get his younger brother out of jail after a botched bank heist.
The anonymity was important as the crew were using real locations, without cordoning off the public, he said.
Co-directors, brothers Josh and Benny Safdie - Benny also acts in the film - said Pattinson - who has sought out a strong of challenging art-house projects since soaring to stardom in the Twilight movies - had approached them after seeing their previous film "Heaven Knows What".
Critics at Cannes said the movie could cement Pattinson's position as a grade-A actor as well as an A-list star.
Pattinson's former girlfriend Kristen Stewart is also in Cannes for her directorial debut 'Come Swim'. He told Reuters that he had not yet seen her film.

When You Are Alone With Your Thoughts, What Do You Hear?
Talk to yourself as you would like another person to talk to you, baseball self talk can be very helpful, or equally as destructive. Be kind to yourself.
Make yourself aware of whatever negative messages you give yourself, so that you can change them immediately. You cannot block the negative thought out. Replace it! In the batter's box, the most functional and appropriate replacement thought a hitter will ever have, "see the ball". Remember it; Use it; Value it.
The section on baseball self talk is taken from the book, MENTAL TRAINING FOR SOFTBALL, by Jeff Janssen and Mike Candrea. I hope that you will find some information within to help you reach your mission and goals. It has certainly been of benefit to me and my players over the years.
Whether or not they will admit it, everyone talks to themselves.
Right now some of you are talking to yourself and saying, yes, I do talk to myself. Others are saying, "no way". Some are wondering, do I talk to myself? I don't think so; but maybe I do.
Self talk is the internal dialogue we carry on with ourselves each day of our lives.
Everyone talks to themselves to some extent, some having an ongoing play by play, while others have only brief words, phrases or sentences.
Quantity varies; but most athletes report a minimal amount of self talk occurring during highly successful performances. Baseball self talk is usually non-stop during poor performances.
Positive ~ Self promoting, builds confidence, optomistic, constructive, motivating, focused, optimal muscle tension and performance enhancing.
Negative ~ Self defeating, creates anxiety, pessimistic, destructive, unmotivating, distracting, excess muscle tension and performance destroying.
Be your own best friend. Imagine yourself playing catch with a younger brother or sister, or a friend's brother or sister, and they are having trouble throwing and catching the baseball. You can see they are discouraged and frustrated.
What Might You Say To Them?
Is it positive and supportive, or negative and critical?
What effect might your words have on them?
How supportive or critical are you?
Most people are unaware of the quantity or quality of their baseball self talk. Quite often they are surprised at how negative they are with themselves, and sometimes others.
Bottom of the last inning.
The crowd and both dugouts are on their feet in anticipation, as you step out of the on deck circle and walk towards the plate.
I am excited about this challenge, this is an opportunity for me to contribute to my team.
I am a good contact hitter. I want to see the ball well, put a good swing on it and drive it hard. I know I can do that!
I have been working hard all year in practice. My heart is pounding, it must mean that I am pumped and ready for this challenge.
What are your chances of getting a hit?
Why do I have to be up now? I could lose the game for the whole team and everyone would hate me.
Just don't strike out, that would be the worst. Wow, I am really stressed out, my heart feels like it is going to burst out of mt chest.
Both are possible reactions to the exact situation. Thus, it is not so much the situation that causes stress and anxiety; but our thoughts about the situation.
Below are some thoughts about one portion of baseball's mental game. It has been my experience that the mental game is a true seperator between individual players, as well as teams. These are skills, just as throwing, hitting, running and receiving are. They can be practiced and developed; but seldom manifest themselves on their own. Time spent by players and coaches can reap dividends and provide that "competitive edge" we are all seeking over our competition.
You can work on these skills in practice, as well as outside of your season. Take your game, or your team, to the next level!
How Can I Best Use Baseball Self Talk? Learn through asking yourself questions, such as those below.
"What's stopping me from ...?"
"What can I do differently to get the results I want?"
"To get this right, what has to be different?"
"If I could do that the way I want to, what would it be like?"
Anticipate Situations and Plays ~ Direct Your Intentions!
A batter: "I'm going to hit the ball on the ground between the first and second baseman."
A pitcher: "Fastball, low and away."
An outfielder: "I'm going to hit the cut-off man if the ball's hit to me."
This self-talk focuses on what you will do when a play develops. It provides control; you become the actor, rather than the reactor.
Talk is not an exclusive tool used when preparing for physical action. Pictures and images help.
Use the words to trigger the previews of coming attractions.
H.A. Dorfman, from his book,The Mental Game of Baseball.

The first SLS launch caused damage to the launch pad. How bad was it?

When you test launch the most powerful rocket ever successfully flown, there's bound to be some collateral damage. With 8.8 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) packs a mighty punch (the Saturn V, which carried astronauts to the moon in 1969, produced 7.5 million pounds). After November 16's test flight of SLS, dubbed Artemis I, the pad was a little worse for wear, but not outside of expected parameters, NASA officials say.
"The damage that we did see pertain to really just a couple areas on the 'Zero Deck,'" said Mike Sarafin, Artemis I's mission manager, at a press conference on November 21, referring to the section of the Mobile Launcher Platform that bears the brunt of the rocket engines at liftoff.
Damage included discoloration and peeling of paint on the pad, two cameras that were rendered inoperable, as well as the destruction of a pair of elevator doors, blown out by the intense pressure at launch. The upper levels of the mobile launcher are currently only accessible by stairs, and the elevators will take several months to repair.

While the damage means some expensive repairs are required before a second flight, the pad "will be ready to support Artemis II and we had accounted for that previously in our pre-plan and our budget for the time between Artemis I and II," Sarafin assured reporters.
There was speculation after the launch that the damage was widespread, mainly because NASA asked journalists not to photograph the launch tower post-launch. NASA cited security violations relating to ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations), claiming that some now exposed umbilical features would present a security risk if shared publicly.
NASA has since been more forthcoming with details of the damage. "We also did have some damage to pneumatic lines associated with gaseous nitrogen and gaseous helium, and that in turn caused the oxygen sensors on the pad to show that there were low oxygen readings until we got the leaks in the pneumatic lines isolated," said Sarafin.

In terms of debris from the rocket itself, two items were found during the pad assessment: throat plug material from the solid rocket boosters, which is purposefully expelled at liftoff, and caulking from the human-rated Orion capsule. It was unclear whether the caulking was removed during the launch, or during Hurricane Nicole, which tore through Kennedy Space Center a week before liftoff.
NASA says that the pad's ground systems, on the whole, exceeded expectations, and they are confident it will be ready for the next flight (as yet unscheduled), which will be the first SLS launch to carry humans to lunar orbit.
Meanwhile, the Orion capsule carried aboard Artemis I is mid-mission, having reached its closest approach to the moon already. It will return to Earth on December 11.

Athens police shoot fleeing suspected car thief
Mary Beth Lane
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is investigating the police shooting of a manauthorities say was fleeing officers while driving a stolen vehicle in Athens County on Saturday.
Athens County Sheriff Rodney Smith said on Monday that his office handled the initialinvestigation but he had asked state agents to take it over.
The shooting involved three Athens city police officers who were pursuing a vehicle stolenfrom the Nelsonville area, Smith and Athens Police Chief Tom Pyle said.
Pyle gave this account in a news release:
The chase began at about 6 a.m. on Saturday when officers responded to a complaint of "activetheft" from vehicles in the Hope Drive area, off E. State Street. The officers identified a suspectvehicle and tried to stop it. The vehicle took off, the officers in pursuit. During the chase theylearned the vehicle had been reported stolen.
At one point, the officers were able to stop the fleeing vehicle. The vehicle took off againand crashed soon after, at the intersection of Hooper Ridge Road and Route 550.
Smith said Monday that during the initial stop, the driver tried to strike the officers withthe vehicle as they approached on foot, so they opened fire.
Samuel W. Lott, 18, of Nelsonville, was taken to a Columbus hospital to be treated for agunshot wound and was released to police. He has been charged with receiving stolen property andfailure to comply with a police officer, both felonies.
His passenger, Jacob T. Bowens, 19, of Carbon Hill, has been charged with receiving stolenproperty. Both are being held on $100,000 bond at the Southeastern Ohio Regional Jail inNelsonville.
The officers were not injured. They have been removed from line-of-duty assignments pendingadministrative review, per policy, Pyle said. Their names have not been released.

DID YOU STICK HER IN THE TRUNK?
Madeline Island, part of the Apostle Islands of Lake Superior. The Witching Hour. Moon and Alma have summoned Whiz, a ghost- who has knocked out Moon and cast a spell on Alma. For more, see previous posts.
ALMA (dreamily) Where'd that car come from? It's beautiful. (shivers) It's freezing.
Whiz takes off her jacket, puts it on Alma, who is clearly dazed and confused.
ALMA (cont'd) Thanks. Hey! Let's take a ride. I got to get in that car- it'll take me where I need to go- won't it? Won't it, lady? Why don't you talk? Well, whatever. I'm getting in the car, and going where I'm going, and you need to come with me. Don't ask me why I know, I just do. So come on!
Alma runs off. After a moment, we hear the phantom car peel out and drive off. Moon groans, sits up.
MOON What happened? (looks around) Where's Alma?
Whiz shrugs, looks over at the trunk.
MOON (cont'd) Did you stick her in the trunk? What is wrong with you, lady? I swear to God, if you hurt her-
Moon runs over to the trunk, looks in.
DON'T MAKE ME KICK YOUR ASS (HONEYBOY PART 4)
In the middle of the night, on an abandoned race track, Alma and Moon are trying to raise a spirit from the dead. A strange woman has just popped out of a seemingly empty trunk. (see previous posts for more)
MOON Uh, Alma?
ALMA Go away, Moon!
MOON Alma!
ALMA What?!?!
Alma turns, sees Whiz.
ALMA (cont'd) Uh, excuse me, lady...but we're shooting a tv show here, and it's a closed set. Not open to the public. I'm going to have to ask you to leave. Please step out of the trunk.
Whiz stares at Alma, then at Moon.
ALMA (cont'd) Hello? Closed set. Get out of the trunk.
Whiz slowly steps out of trunk, walks over to Moon.
ALMA (cont'd) Thank you. In a few months, you'll be able to see this on one of your basic cable channels.
Whiz grabs Moon by the front of his shirt, pulls him to her. She smells his face, runs her hands across his back, then kisses him full on the mouth.
ALMA (cont'd) Hey!
At first, Moon resists, then kisses Whiz back. Abruptly, he falls to the ground, unconscious.
ALMA (cont'd) H…
ENTER GHOST (HONEYBOY JACK AND THE SILVER MIST PART 3)
Moon and Alma have come to a deserted race track on Madeline Island, the most haunted of the Apostle Islands of Lake Superior. They hope to raise the ghost of Honeyboy Jack Schaefer and film it on their smart phone, so that they can get on a paranormal tv show. They are alone, with an old trunk they have dragged along with them. Things have started to get a little funky. See previous two posts for more.
MOON Oh my god!
An old car engine revs offstage, loudly. Then several car engines rev- it sounds like a race track right before a race. The sound builds and builds, until it's almost deafening.
ALMA This is awesome! Go stand by the trunk and tell us about summoning Honey Boy!
MOON Are you crazy? We have to get out of here!
Suddenly, the sounds stop. Silence. Moon and Alma stare at each other.
ALMA I think I got all that recorded. Do you know what this means?
MOON That a bunch of ghost cars are out to get us?
ALMA We're gonna be on tv! Travel Channel- maybe Discovery. I don't know. But our trou…

ALMA Just tell us about Honey Bun.
MOON Honey Boy! (back to camera) So, I'm standing on the old dirt track where Honey Boy won his last race- before plunging into the ice water mansions of Gitchy-Gummi.
ALMA Moon! Stick to the script.
MOON We are summoning the spirit of Honey Boy tonight, and he's going to help me win tomorrows race.
ALMA He better.
MOON Do you really think they'll break my thumbs if I don't pay them back?
ALMA Moon! Don't bring up loan sharks when the cameras are rolling. And yes, they'll break your thumbs. They'll break every bone in your body.
MOON I can't believe you talked me into going to them.
ALMA I didn't talk anyone into anything.
MOON You're the one who needed the money for the smart phone.
HONEYBOY JACK AND THE SILVER MIST PART 1
The middle of a dirt track for stock car racing. MOON, a slacker in his 20's, comes on grunting and dragging an old steamer trunk to the middle of the stage. He stops, lets the trunk drop.
MOON Let's do this. (a beam of light from off stage shines on his face) Howdy. I'm Moon Dog McCoy, and this is "Alma's Anomalies, Episode One"! It's about ten to three in the morning,and-
ALMA, Moon's girlfriend, also in her 20's, comes running on stage, smart phone in one hand filming Moon, flashlight in the other.
ALMA Witching hour! Stick to the script, do it again.
MOON Do I have to say Alma's Anomalies?
ALMA It's the name of the show, Moon! Kind of important.
MOON It's lame.
ALMA Moon, are you directing this project?
MOON No, but-
ALMA Then shut it.
MOON Alma, this is my deal. I'm the one who found the trunk, I'm the one summoning Honey Boy Jack-
ALMA You're the one who's going to be sleeping on the couch tonight! Just say it the way we practiced,okay?
MOON Fine!
ALMA And can you face a litt…
Last Thursday night, I wanted to explode. It was the final dress rehearsal for How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying at StageDoor Theatre in Conifer, and things were not going so well. The actors were forgetting their lines. The scene shifts were taking so long they felt like waiting in line at the DMV. The band was hitting a couple of clunkers. And the hardest working actor that night- a young man understudying the lead role of Finch who was set to perform opening night due to the tennis schedule of the other Finch- came down with some sort of virus and almost collapsed during "Brotherhood of Man", the big final number. We had added twenty minutes to the show- not with new dialogue or bits of business. Just with delay. I really wanted to explode.
But things can, and do, get better.
The understudy Finch had to take the next night off. But the other Finch was available due to not going to State Finals- usually a sad thing but for the show, a godsend. Friday night,…
NOISES OFF AND RUNNING
For the past few years, I have been going to see shows at the Fine Arts Center Theatre in Colorado Springs. I've seen dramas, comedies, musicals, even a one act that was stage in the museum section of the center- the excellent Lovers Leapt by Leslie Bramm directed by Artistic Director Scott Levy. And every show has been an outstanding piece of theatre. Noises Off, now playing at the FAC, is no exception. It's hilarious, fast paced, and makes you happy to be alive. This production also proves, yet again, that the most consistently excellent professional theatre in Colorado is at the Fine Arts Center in Colorado Springs.
Noises Off is a farce written by super-genius Michael Frayn. It's about a traveling theatre company putting on a farce, and is done in three acts, and from two perspectives. Act one is the final technical rehearsal, and is seen from the point of view of someone sitting in the audience during rehearsal. Act two takes place during a performance of the play, a…

This is a question that only you can answer, but one that some people don't think about long enough before answering. The answer really comes down to your lifestyle, and your wants and needs. If you have a large family and want a yard with space for them to use freely, then a condo probably isn't for you. If you really enjoy your space, privacy, and having absolute control over all the decisions that affect your home, a condo probably isn't for you.
On the other hand, if you live a busy life and would like to simplify your living arrangements by having virtually no yard work or snow removal, then a condo may be what you're looking for. If you're looking to down size after owning a large home, but aren't quite ready to give up the comforts a home provides, a bungalow style condo may be what you are after. If you are a first time home buyer and owning a house and all that goes with it seems intimidating, a condo is probably a good step to get into the market. You can always move into a house when you and your lifestyle demand it.
Both houses and condominiums afford tons of different styles and options. Traditionally the real estate market was primarily driven by houses. Over the past few years we are starting to see this change. The demand for condos has risen, and as a result, new condo developments are abundant. Even within the last year, there has been a huge growth in condo conversion projects happening across the country.
There are a variety of different styles of condos, each with their own benefits. Apartment style condos are for those who generally need less space and don't mind the atmosphere of an apartment-style living situation. They generally either have underground, secure parking or outdoor parking available to the owners. Townhouses are geared towards people who need a bit more space with a bit more privacy. There are quite a few townhouses available with single car garages but just as many without. The next step up is a bungalow style condo which gives people in most cases as much room as a home but with less exterior maintenance.
You have total control (within the law) of what you can do to your property.
