According to Matt Eddy of Baseball America, Dayan Viciedo has signed with the Oakland Athletics. He hasn’t played this season after spending parts of five seasons with the White Sox. It is unclear whether he is signing a minor league deal or major league deal.

Viciedo, 26, has career slash line of .254/.298/.424 with a 95 wRC+ and 66 home runs in 1798 plate appearances. He has a combined fWAR of -0.9 due to his horrid defense and base running.

However, Viciedo does have a 124 wRC+ against lefties in his career, so he could see time at DH for the A’s. Mark Canha has struggled against lefties this year (.120 BA), so there is an opportunity for Viciedo in Oakland.

The A’s sit at 25-37, last place in the American League West, but they have been playing much better lately going 6-4 in their last 10 games.

First in Safety

Chrysler Group brands have prioritized safety since their introduction of the first safety rim wheels in 1941. Today, their approach to safety and security is still leading the way, with collision avoidance technologies like our blind spot monitoring system. In 2014, Dodge Dart, Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 were all recognized by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) as top safety picks.

When Chrysler released its first generation of HEMI® headed V-8 engines in the early 1950s, it launched an automotive era that would last for over 20 years. The "horsepower wars" had begun. The Chrysler HEMI engine was the first hemispherical combustion chamber on the automotive market. And it has always been the "first" among muscle car enthusiasts. Today, the power and performance of a HEMI engine is available in several models, including the muscular Dodge Challenger and the Ram 1500.

A new favourite... especially good with apples straight from the garden. Used dried sage and still very good.
19th Jun, 2015
Lovely! And so easy. I think I'll make a little more sauce next time as the pork was a little dry. May try cooking the pork in the Stock and Mustard in the slow cooker for a few hours and add the cooked apples in the last half hour to see if that helps to soften the meat. Oh, I also realised I had no wholegrain mustard (infuriating since we usually have at least 3 jars of the stuff!) so took a gamble and used about 1 1/2 teaspoon of English Mustard instead - surprisingly good! Delicious despite the above and will definitely make again. If anyone is interested, served with Green Beans and Chorizo Potatoes (yum!)
16th Jun, 2014
This time I substituted the sage leaves with mushrooms. Excellent!
19th Nov, 2013
Easy, but tasty. For 2 people, I used 2 small apples, cut into eighths and with the skin left on. This recipe was easily made suitable for coeliacs by using gluten-free stock.
17th Nov, 2013
Delicious, quick, easy and healthy...what more could you want?!
13th Aug, 2013
I added onion and red pepper along with the apple to make it more satisfying, and just added the pork to the pan earlier rather than removing everything then putting it back in! Served it with mash. A really tasty dish and something different to do with pork, loved it.
24th Mar, 2013
Was a favourite of many to my family. I used cooking apples and Greek yoghurt to reduce the fat content. I served it with honey-glazed carrots, Parmesan potatoes and white cabbage. Very very tasty and easy to make!
25th Oct, 2012
Really tasty, tried it out on hubby and father in-law who didnt know it was low fat until I told them after and they really enjoyed it! served with mash.
16th Oct, 2012
A firm favourite, gorgeous dish and doesn't feel sickly with creme fraiche as it would cream
13th Mar, 2012
Really tasty dish, even the kids liked it despite having hot mustard in it! The only thing they weren't keen on bizarrely were the apples - which my husband and I thought were delicious. The kids have asked me to make for dinner again so definitely on the family meal list. Served with green beans and rice to make a change from potatoes.

Continental GT V8 S Convertible

The engine of the Continental GT V8 S makes an incredible sound – one best enjoyed with the top down.

Complete with a redesigned front spoiler and rear diffuser, for a sportier and more conﬁdent stance, the Continental GT V8 S Convertible is an irresistible proposition for every journey.

But this supercar performance doesn’t mean a compromise on comfort. Thanks to the four-layer construction of its retractable roof, the Continental GT V8 S Convertible accommodates up to four people with the hood up in the same unﬂustered reﬁnement as its hard-topped sibling.

To enquire about availability, please contact your local Bentley dealer.

GTCV8S_DFr_1920 x 670.jpg

Exterior Design

Designed for a sporting look, whether the hood is up or down, the Continental GT V8 S Convertible looks every bit as sophisticated as any convertible Bentley – but with the added edge that comes from a series of S model exterior details.

The look is complemented by 20” open-spoke wheels and red painted brake callipers. Beluga gloss door mirrors to match the lower body details including the lower front bumper, while dark tint lamps to the front and rear are options that add additional edge to the exterior aesthetic.

Interior Design

When you sit beneath the four-layer insulated roof, it’s easy to forget you’re in a convertible, such is the quality of its construction.

A shorter centre console gives rear seat passengers even more space, while the elegant Continental instrumentation gives the impression of an aeronautical cockpit. Piano Black veneers feature as standard throughout the interior, with a range of wood species, including Dark Fiddleback Eucalyptus veneer, available as options.

GTV8S_Fr34_1920 x 670.jpg

Improved Aerodynamics

Beluga gloss lower body styling features – front splitter, side sills and rear diffuser – improve the car’s aerodynamics by reducing front-end lift, improving stability at higher speeds, while bright wing vents sit proudly behind the front wheels.

Beneath the bonnet of the Continental GT V8 S Convertible beats a monstrous heart: a 4.0 litre, twin-turbocharged V8 engine generating 680 Newton metres (502 lb.ft) of torque.

Despite its muscular powerplant, the Continental GT V8 S Convertible is remarkably efficient with CO2 emissions at a mere 258 g/km, due in no small part to the use of variable displacement.

Additionally, for the ultimate in efficient performance, the engineering team introduced hot-side inside (HSI) technology: in essence, a method of reducing both energy wastage and engine weight by mounting the turbochargers within the ‘V’ of the V8 cylinder arrangement. The result of all this innovation is a Continental GT V8 S Convertible with improved power performance, with no penalty to fuel economy or emissions.

The suspension is 10 mm lower than that of the Continental GT V8 Convertible – and the springs and damping have been revised, front and back. Alongside uprated anti-roll bars, this improves agility, control and balance, while the recalibrated steering enhances driver feedback and feel.

PLACEHOLDER  819_BEN_GTMY16_LOC_SA_32_GTC_V8S_Rear34_v2e_R 1920 x 670.jpg

Open-Air Driving

At the flick of a switch, the four-layer insulated roof of the Continental GT V8 S Convertible folds down, to expose driver and occupants to the sun. Even if you set off before deciding, the top can still be folded down at speeds of up to 20 mph.

Once in motion, the upgraded Continental chassis and suspension system combine to provide a more responsive drive, while the satisfying roar of the 4.0 litre twin turbocharged V8 engine – all the more important when driving with the top down, comes with the option of a sports exhaust system with a revised pipe architecture, redesigned silencers and re-tuned mountings.

Interior Technology

The Continental GT V8 S Convertible includes an 8" high resolution screen with an AM/FM radio and optional Sirius satellite radio*. It also provides access to navigation, suspension adjustment and controls for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. The screen displays a graphic representation of parking distance, while Bluetooth® wireless connectivity makes it easy to pair the car with phones and other mobile devices.

Continental GT V8 S Black Edition 1920x670.jpg

Continental GT V8 S Convertible Black Edition

The Bentley Continental V8 S Convertible is also available in a Black Edition. From its black 21” seven spoke alloy wheels up, every detail has been considered. All the external brightware has been replaced with blackware, including the lower fender and headlamp bezels. Dark tint front lamps and rear lamps complete the look.

For the exterior aerokit, customers can choose from four striking accent colours – St. James’ Red, Hallmark, Beluga and Cyber Yellow. Add matching door mirrors as a cost option. You can also specify the brake calliper colour to either blend in with the rest of the car or to stand out in a bold, contrasting statement.

The interior includes a three-spoke sports steering wheel, GT Design Seats by Mulliner and a unique colour split. Choose the Mulliner Driving Specification and you will also enjoy contrast stitching to the diamond quilting, contrast stitching on the steering wheel and black 21” five spoke directional wheels.

Click here to find your nearest Bentley dealer, who can tell you more about this special edition.

GTC_Profile_V8s_HoodUp 1920 x 670.jpg

Colour and Choice

Almost every aspect of the Continental GT V8 S Convertible can be tailored to your personal tastes.

17 standard exterior paint finishes are available. If that isn’t enough, Bentley’s bespoke paint specialists can match any sample you care to provide and reproduce it on the bodywork of your car. The hood also offers the opportunity for personalisation, with a choice of eight exterior colours available.

You can choose from a range of 17 interior hide colours with either single-colour schemes available alongside duotone colour splits. Contrast stitching can be commissioned for an additional accent colour, while hand cross-stitching lends the interior even more exquisite, handcrafted style.

GTCV8S_fr34_1920 x 670.jpg

All Weather Specification

The roof of the Continental GT V8 S Convertible is so well insulated that, with the top up, it’s easy to believe you’re in a coupé. With the top down, however, there are several features designed specifically to enhance the thrill of open-top grand touring.

Heated front seats are a standard feature whereas integrated neck warmers, a wind deflector and a heated steering wheel are all included in the All Seasons Specification package or as separate options, taking the chill off any cold-weather drive.

Dublin, OH: AMC Dublin Village 18 Gets Upgrades, Reserved Seating

The AMC Dublin Village 18 in Dublin, Ohio has received some upgrades, according to a recent press release from AMC Theatres. Those upgrades include new screens, speakers, "plush power recliners," a full bar, and expanded concession choices.

“The best possible guest experience is at the heart of everything we do. Whether that’s through numerous concession options, a full bar, incredibly comfortable chairs or an amazing movie presentation, we want our guests to be excited about coming out to the movies again and again,” said Mark McDonald, executive vice president of development at AMC.

The press release goes on to say that every seat in the house is now reserved seating, and once you get in your assigned seat, you'll be able to lay back and put your feet up without any more effort than a button push. Seating capacity has been reduced in every auditorium to make this upgrade possible, providing more leg room and larger armrests provide for more elbow room as well.

The concession stand offers the traditional popcorn and candy choices, but hot food items like chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, and pizza are also available. Coca-Cola Freestyle machines allow guests to choose from a wide variety of beverage flavors (120 flavors were mentioned).

The MacGuffins® Bar serves adults 21 and over, with choices of beer, glasses of wine, and cocktails. The bar is a lounge that can be enjoyed by patrons before and after the show, and drinks can be taken into designated auditoriums.

These upgrades don't seem to be coming at a premium price, however. A quick look at the theater's web site shows new releases being shown in the evenings for just $6.75 for an adult ticket. That's quite a bit lower than we were expecting to see for a theater with reserved seating and upgraded seats. In comparison, the same movie in the same time slot at the nearby Marcus Crosswoods UltraScreen Cinema runs $10 for an adult ticket. It's possible that the AMC has cheaper showtimes during the week than on the weekends, which is supported by the fact that a Friday evening show of a new release is coming up as $9.50. This is still lower than the Marcus, making it worth checking out for your next moviegoing experience!

Monster Truck Madness #15 – Crush Cars

One of the great secrets of hardcore r/c monster truckers; where do our crush cars come from?. It’s by far the number one question that I field from YouTube viewers on my Trigger King channel….well, right after “what do these cost?!”. I also get e-mail from readers on here as well, when they see them in pictures.

I’ll answer that in a minute, but first, let’s talk crush cars.

Those of you who watch full size monster trucks may of noticed that junk cars are becoming rarer to see. Monster Jam has all but done away with them and smaller shows use them more sparingly nowadays as well. The reason is that it’s become very costly. Getting good wrecks suitable for monster truck use is becoming harder every year.

In the 80’s and 90’s, junk yards were full of cheap steel bodied wrecks. Most modern cars have lots of plastic and fiberglass and are completely destroyed on the first hit. Not ideal.

When it comes to r/c crush cars, that’s getting tougher as well. Toy stores used to sell big, generic plastic toy cars that you could get for cheap. In the old days that’s what most people used. Nowadays though, trying to acquire good size cars from a toy store will cost you a lot of money as everything is licensed.

So what’s one to do? There is one very small company that sells them. Team Blue Groove, out of Canada. Seen in the banner pic above, they are a 1/10 sized sedans with the roof crushed. TBG has no website, although do they sell them on eBay from time to time. They are all made to order, which is why monster truck clubs typically order in bulk. Personally, I usually order them in batches of 10 or 20 at a time.

If you paint them a solid color (they include over-spray film, FYI) they look just like the crush cars you’d see on full size track. We mount them to a board by way of wood blocks. Screw a wide block where you want the car and then screw the body on top. You can make portable sets this way. They are made of .040 lexan and are pretty dang tough. Yeah, we eventually wear them out and need to replace them, but come on, they are getting slammed into by some 70 vehicles on a race day.

With how popular solid axle monsters are nowadays, I think a company would do well to release their own crush car set. They require no paint masks, decals or formal licensing. Sell ’em in packs of 3 or 5 and watch the money come rolling in!

Anyways, you can reach TBG at to see about getting some made for you. There, it’s not a secret anymore!

Temporary Orders in Family Court

Posted by Steven D. Eversole | Aug 09, 2005 | 0 Comments

What kind of temporary orders you can get in family court, and how.

Typical lawsuits take months, if not years, to make it to court. But if you're getting divorced and need a quick decision from a judge about who gets the kids, the car, the money in the bank accounts, or the house — or if you need money for support right away — obviously you can't wait that long.

You don't have to. When couples separate, important issues are often resolved in a short hearing before a judge, instead of requiring a full-scale trial. These hearings are usually held in a special court, called family court in most states.

Even though these quick hearings are less formal than standard court hearings, their brevity means that you must be prepared and know exactly what you want. You may have only a few minutes to ask for it.

What Temporary Orders Are For

Let's say a husband moves out, and the wife who's left behind needs money to feed and shelter the children. Realizing that her children would starve long before a full trial could be held, she is desperate for help. She can go to court to request a temporary order from a judge, even though a formal divorce action has not yet been filed. Her request will be put on a fast track, and a hearing will be scheduled within days or weeks.

Spouses can also ask a court to temporarily:

  • restrain a spouse from coming near or contacting the other (or, if he or she hasn't already done so, to move out of the family home)
  • establish child custody and visiting arrangements
  • provide for spousal support (alimony) and/or child support payments
  • order either spouse not to sell valuable assets, and/or
  • give possession of the family home or car to one of the spouses.

These temporary orders are usually valid until the court holds another hearing or until the spouses arrive at their own settlement through negotiation or mediation.
When to Ask for a Temporary Order

When someone moves out of the house, one of you should go to court right away to quickly resolve any critical issues, such as spousal support. And, if the children will be staying with you, you should immediately file for custody and child support.

This accomplishes two things. First, you will be awarded the proper amount of child support and the court will acknowledge that you live with the children — often granting physical custody right off the bat. Second, your spouse cannot successfully claim that the children were kidnapped. This may sound extreme and unlike your future ex-spouse, but some people behave uncharacteristically when under duress and feeling threatened. And, if your future ex-spouse raises such a claim, the police or judge are usually obligated to hear her or him out. However, when you arrive with proof that you filed for custody and child support, the court will most likely dismiss a kidnapping claim.

How to Ask for a Temporary Order

To get a court order, you must prepare and file some paperwork. Fill-in-the-blank forms may be available free from the court or online. In a few states — unfortunately, not many — court personnel may be available to help with the paperwork. Some courts also have self-help law centers for family law cases, with forms and instructions for people representing themselves.

Here's what you'll probably need:

  • A request for the court order you want. In some states, the forms you need are called an Application for Order to Show Cause (OSC) and an Order to Show Cause. An Order to Show Cause is a simple, fill-in-the-boxes legal form or short typed legal document that sets out what you are asking for — for example, a temporary child support order. It orders your spouse to come to court at a specific date and time and explain (“show cause”) why the court should not grant this request.
  • A supporting declaration. This is a written statement, under penalty of perjury, setting out facts that legally justify the issuance of the temporary order — for example, the need for money to support your children. You can also submit declarations of other people who have first-hand knowledge of the facts.
  • A proposed temporary order granting you the relief requested. This order will be signed by the family court judge if he or she grants the relief you request.
  • A proof of service. This is a document that proves to the court that the papers have been properly delivered to your spouse. Your best bet is to send everything to your spouse by U.S. certified mail, if your state allows it — but some don't. Check for instructions that come with the proof of service form; if there aren't any you can check your own state's law about serving papers.

In some courts, you won't be allowed to file papers asking for a short hearing unless you've already filed for divorce. You can do both at the same time; it just means filling out even more forms to get your divorce started.

What to Expect at the Hearing

Your next step is to attend the court hearing where the judge will consider your request. In emergencies, the hearing can be held within a few days. In legal jargon this is often called an “order to show cause hearing.”

The hearing may be held in a courtroom or just in the judge's office or “chambers.” The judge may listen to a few minutes of testimony from you, your spouse, and possibly other witnesses. Or the judge may only accept written evidence. To support a request for temporary child support, you will probably need to produce copies of an income and expense budget.

The judge will:

  • review the details of the requests and the underlying facts
  • possibly ask you some questions
  • ask your spouse, if present, for his or her side of the story, and
  • in child support cases, refer to state guidelines on recommended support, given factors such as each spouse's income and who has primary custody of the kids.

Often this kind of hearing takes less than 20 minutes. At its conclusion, the judge will likely make an immediate ruling, usually either issuing the temporary order you requested or modifying it somewhat. If more information is needed, or your spouse wasn't given the proper notice before the hearing, the judge may issue an order that is effective only until another hearing can be held. In any event, orders such as these stay in effect only until the divorce is finally settled, either through a trial or when you and your spouse reach an agreement.

Signs It May Be Time to File for a Divorce

Posted by Steven D. Eversole | Jul 13, 2015 | 0 Comments

There are a lot of people in unhappy marriages. Many know they would be better off not in their current marriage but do not know what to do about it and feel trapped. There are a variety of reasons one could feel trapped in a bad marriage. Sometimes, if there are young children, it may seem like it is better to stay married for their sake. Sometimes there are financial concerns that make a person feel trapped in an unhappy marriage. Sometimes people think they need to go to counseling and try to work things out before filing a divorce.

Onewayairplane 300x224

In an effort to help unhappy spouses know that the time has come to file for a divorce and try to move on with their lives, Huffington Post has listed some signs that a marriage may be beyond saving, and filing for divorce is likely the best course of action.

Lack of mutual respect is a major sign it is time to file for divorce. If one or both parties to a marriage do not respect each other, this is usually a sign the marriage will not work, and no amount of marriage counseling is going to fix this issue. This is one of the biggest reasons couples get divorced, and all of the reasons people list when asked why their respective marriages failed normally stem from a basic lack of respect by or for their spouse.

Another problem is a when one spouse is very possessive of the other and wants to have excessive control over the other spouse's life. In a good relationship or marriage, it is important for both spouses to have their own interests and friends without feeling guilty. If your spouse wants to know everyone you talk to, and where you go all the time, this may be a sign of a troubled marriage.

Another major issue contributing to the failure of many marriages is when spouses blame each other whenever anything goes wrong. Instead of taking responsibility for their own actions, they immediately attack the other spouse.

One sign highlighted by this article was one spouse is too self-absorbed or too easily insulted. If one spouse feels like he or she has to walk very carefully to avoid upsetting or insulting the other spouse, this may be a sign of a major problem. The reason the spouse may feel the need to do this is because the other spouse may only care about what is important to him or herself, and that creates a level of hostility, making communication impossible.

Finally, one of the main signs that a marriage will not get better involves a past history of physical abuse. A spouse who has committed physical abuse against you typically will never change without professional help. There will always be an unsafe feeling around that spouse, and this is something very difficult to get past.

As our Birmingham divorce attorneys can explain, there is no one reason that causes all marriages to fall apart, but most people can tell when there is not much hope for their marriage. The best thing you can do is to speak with an experienced divorce attorney to see what your options are.

Golf club development will 'cause gridlock and pressure on schools'

Bloor Homes' plans for the North Worcestershire Golf Club come under fire ahead of public consultation event

North Worcestershire Golf Club will close in March to allow development by Bloor Homes

Councillors are warning the construction of 800 homes on a scenic Birmingham golf course will lead to traffic chaos and over-crowded schools unless action is taken.

The call comes as developer Bloor Homes prepares to unveil its plans for a major housing estate on the North Worcestershire Golf Club to the public.

But residents in Longbridge and Northfield, backed by local Labour and Conservative councillors, are worried about the impact on already congested local roads and local public services.

For several years, the club had rebuffed approaches from housing developers but there was a change of heart two years ago, prompted by falling membership and rising costs.

There were petitions and campaigns to keep the green space but it appears that battle is now over with planning of the development well under way and the golf club due to shut at the end of March.

The proposals will be on show at the Hollymoor Community Centre, between 2pm and 8pm on Thursday January 28.

The event will also give the public a chance to give feedback and raise concerns ahead of a formal planning application being submitted.

Local councillors said residents had been concerned about the scheme and filled any public meeting where it had been debated.

Coun Andy Cartwright (Lab Longbridge) said they were worried about the large-scale development and its impact on the community.

"The roads around here are absolutely grid locked most of the time," he said.

"We already have new housing planned for the Rover site and this will add even more cars.

"There are 800 homes, many have two cars, that's more than a thousand cars on Bristol Road, Grovelly Lane, Tessall Lane and Longbridge Lane - and they are already blocked."

Only last week, Coun Debbie Clancy (Con Northfield) handed in a petition to the council calling for action to deal with traffic on Bristol Road South.

Meanwhile, Coun Randal Brew (Con Northfield) warned a new school might be needed.

"This is going to go ahead so we have to get the best possible deal for the community. It is going to have a major impact on the area.

"We could have up to a thousand children moving in, that's enough for a new school. This needs to be addressed."

Bloor Homes' land director Duncan Mackay said: "Bloor Homes is still developing its proposals for the former North Worcestershire Golf Club.

"We have consulted with local residents and elected representatives and this consultation process is ongoing.

"We will be displaying our updated proposals at a public event and will welcome all views and comments received as a result."

Birmingham jeweller Philip Blakeman, by Robert Neil
Birmingham jeweller Philip Blakeman, by Robert Neil

A Birmingham artist has been selected to show in the BP Portrait Award, the world’s most prestigious portrait exhibition.

Robert Neil is one of only 55 artists who will show their work at the National Portrait Gallery in London in this year’s BP Portrait Award exhibition.

The competition, which is in its 35th year, attracts artists from all over the world. A record number of over 2,300 entries were received for this year’s award from 71 countries.

Mr Neil, aged 40, is a largely self-taught artist who paints from his studio in Worcestershire while also running a business in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter.

His selected painting is a portrait of Birmingham jeweller Philip Blakeman, who works nearby.

Mr Neil said: “I met Phil through mutual friends at a party, where we got talking about our shared interest in art. He has a very distinctive style and manner and I immediately thought he would make a great subject for a portrait. I asked him if he would sit for me at his studio and happily he agreed.”

Mr Neil is currently President of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists (RBSA), one of the city’s oldest cultural institutions, which this year celebrates its bicentenary.

The RBSA is an artist-led charity with a gallery in Brook Street near St Paul’s Square. It promotes engagement with the art through exhibitions, workshops and demonstrations.

The society is celebrating the bicentenary of the first exhibition staged by the Birmingham Academy of Arts, the forerunner of the RBSA, with a special programme of exhibitions and events.

The society has received a grant of £76,400 from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for the project Celebrating 200 years of Art, Artists and Audiences in Birmingham, and a curatorial research grant of £40,000 from the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art.

This grant is enabling professional curators and volunteers to work together to research the history of the RBSA and reveal the stories behind paintings, sculptures and other works of art created by Birmingham’s artists.

“Being selected for the BP Portrait Award is a fantastic opportunity for me personally, but I hope it will also help to raise the profile of the RBSA and increase awareness of the great work that it does to promote and support artists in the city,” added Mr Neil.

The BP Portrait Award 2014 will be shown at the National Portrait Gallery from June 26 to September 21 2014. The exhibition will then go on a nationwide tour.
