Sandy Leon stays within the organization!
Well, it's not the ideal situation, but it's certainly not the worst one either.
The Boston Red Sox have their two catchers they want in the big leagues to start the season: Blake Swihart and Christian Vazquez. They decided they wanted to carry two catchers this year instead of three which means Sandy Leon got the boot. HOWEVER.... Leon will not be far away.
That's right, Leon, who is set to earn around $2.5 million this season, will remain in the Red Sox org. The team snuck him through waivers and no one bit. It's a little surprising no one wanted him as their backup catcher, but maybe the salary had something to do with it. Anyways, with the guaranteed money on the table for Leon, he accepted his AAA assignment with the PawSox--which means the Red Sox could call him up at some point this season, if they so wish.
Here's what Alex Cora told MassLive about Leon's decision to stay within the organization.
But yeah, with Leon and Juan Centeno, who caught in 105 MLB games (111 appearances) from 2013 to 2018, the team's catching depth is in good shape.


Well, the weather here really turned chilly this past weekend. Of course, with that Autumn coolness came rain. And Autumn rain is best enjoyed from inside the house with a pot of hot tea and a good book or movie!
Saturday morning the princess and I headed out to a local thrift store early to take advantage of their "Everything 50% off on the First Saturday of the month" sale. By the time we got there, the parking lot was completely full. We had to park on a side street.
I had dropped by this store earlier last week to donate a bunch of stuff and I had spotted a few things that I wanted. But, knowing that everything was going to be 50% off in a few days, I resisted shopping. So, when I got there and the store was packed with customers, I was sure the items I wanted would be gone.
When we walked in, there were no available shopping carts. But, the princess grabbed "her" Playschool shopping cart and told me, "Okay, Mama! I'm ready to do some bargain shopping!" So, with just a little childs shopping cart we headed back to the things that I had wanted to get.
Fortunately, it seemed everyone was there to shop for clothes and Halloween costume stuff. So, my things were still there.
Finally I was able to snag a free shopping cart. Good thing because all of my items were breakable and being in a playschool shopping cart manned by a exhuberant 2 year old wasn't exactly safe shopping!
I ended up getting several wonderful bargains for myself, the Princess got a toy and we got 4 Christmas presents. All for under $20.00. So, it was a fun and successful thrifting adventure.
When we left, the sky was getting darker, the wind had really kicked up and the temps were dropping. So, we made a quick stop to visit Troy at the Farmer's Market. All the folks selling at the FM, were all bundled up and freezing. Most were trying to keep their canopies from flying away. There were no customers and they decided to go ahead and close up early.
It started to rain so, that was our cue to head home. By the time we got home, we were both chilled to the bone. I made us a hot lunch and then put the princess down for a nap. I washed up my new teapot set and made myself a pot of hot tea to try to take the chill away. I grabbed my book and a quilt and cozied up on the couch to just warm up and relax.
I think I read 5 pages before I realized Troy was waking me up!
Here was my tea setting with my newly acquired teapot and accessories.
I started with this beautiful brass tray that I also picked up at the thrift store. The original price (at a retail store) was $33.50 then marked down to $16.75. The thrift store price on it was $4.99 but, it was 50% off day so, I purchased it for $2.50. I didn't have any brass trays and I love the warmth of brass during this time of the year.
The tray was in pretty good shape when I bought it. However, it did need some cleaning and shining up. So, here is my thrifty "shining up" brass tip for you.
Yup, that is a packet of taco sauce and a soft rag! Just squirt some of the taco sauce on the rag and scrub the brass item. You get a beauiful shine after you rinse it off and dry it!
I added a beautiul vintage doily and then my new teapot, creamer and sugar. The sugar bowl was missig the lid. I can deal with that for the price I paid for everything. There is also a matching butter dish with lid.
I used this little bone dish (Ridgeway) that I purchased for .75 cents at the thrift store. It was perfect for the teaspoon and the heart shaped tea inffuser.
We are having fresh banana bread & butter with Sassafras tea.
A little infrmation on sassafras.
The dried and ground leaves are used to make filé powder, a condiment served with some types of gumbo.
The roots of Sassafras can be steeped to make tea and were used in the flavoring of traditional root beer until being banned for mass production by the FDA. Laboratory animals that were given oral doses of sassafras tea or sassafras oil that contained large doses of safrole developed permanent liver damage or various types of cancer. In humans liver damage can take years to develop and it may not have obvious signs. Along with commercially available sarsaparilla, sassafras remains an ingredient in use among hobby or microbrew enthusiasts.
In 1960, the FDA banned the use of sassafras oil and safrole in commercially mass produced foods and drugs based on the animal studies and human case reports. Several years later sassafras tea was banned, a ban that lasted until the passage of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act in 1994. Sassafras root extracts which do not contain safrole or in which the safrole has been removed are permissible, and are still widely used commercially in teas and root beers.
The teacup and saucer set I am using today is Royal Dover China.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.

Your Royal Dover teacup is beautiful!! And, wow, you got some fabulous bargains at the thrift store. Good for you!!! Especially a big thumbs-up for waiting the few days until sale day...that took alot of self-control.
I have used toothpaste before, but never taco sauce! The next time my son goes to Taco Bell, I am going to swipe some of his sauce so I can clean a few of my trays! Thanks for the tip. I love your fall teascape! I love the flowers on your new brown set. I also like your pretty Royal Dover tea cup. Hmm. Banana Bread sounds good. I have not made any in a while.

(New World #2)
by Janelle Stalder
Tentative Release Date: February 25, 2014
Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it.
New Berlin, 2040. Rebels prepare to fight against the New World Order, bent on bringing down the world's greatest tyrant. One girl wanted nothing to do with it, content to keep her head down and make the best of this new world. That is, until she has no choice but to work with the rebels and infiltrate the NWO headquarters. Every moment she spends there puts her in danger, especially when one man, the second in command to the New World leader, continues to make his way into her every thought. She must stay focused and protect not just her mind and body, but also her heart. Will she be able to complete her task without being unmasked? Or will the one man standing in her way ruin it all?
Janelle Stalder was born and raised in Brampton, Ontario. At an early age she developed a love for literature. Her debut novel, Eden, was the first book in a series of four, released in September of 2011. The second book, Eden-West, was released in July of 2012, and the third book, Eden-South was released in March of 2013. The fourth book of the Eden Series, Eden-East, will be release at the end of 2013. She is a strong supporter of other independent authors, and loves to interact with her readers. When she's not writing, Janelle is at home with her husband, two children, Aiden and Elora, and her two furry children, Alice and Lily. She now resides in the small town in Ontario in her old, possibly haunted, century home.

The Californian Condor is disappearing.
The largest flying bird in North America, the California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) has a wingspan of nearly ten feet.
A captive-breeding program is slowly restoring the species, its numbers reduced to a few dozen by egg poaching and poisons in the 1970s.
Photographed at Phoenix Zoo, Arizona.
Leopards are graceful and powerful big cats closely related to lions, tigers, and jaguars. They live in sub-Saharan Africa, northeast Africa, Central Asia, India, and China.
However, many of their populations are endangered, especially outside of Africa.
Leopards can also hunt from trees, where their spotted coats allow them to blend with the leaves until they spring with a deadly pounce. These nocturnal predators also stalk antelope, deer, and pigs by stealthy movements in the tall grass.
Female leopards can give birth at any time of the year. They usually have two grayish cubs with barely visible spots.
The mother hides her cubs and moves them from one safe location to the next until they are old enough to begin playing and learning to hunt. Cubs live with their mothers for about two years—otherwise, leopards are solitary animals.
Black leopards, which appear to be almost solid in color because their spots are hard to distinguish, are commonly called black panthers.
The Bengal Tiger of Asia.
Scientists estimate only about 3,000 wild tigers are left in the entire world.
Tiger territory once stretched from Turkey to the Russian Far East and just a century ago, before the terrible toll of hunting and habitat destruction, 100,000 tigers inhabited the wilds of Asia.
Now their descendants hang on in a tiny fraction of their former range, prowling fragmented pockets of habitat where keeping enough tigers alive to breed is increasingly difficult.
Three of the nine tiger subspecies (Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers) became extinct during the 20th century, leaving only the half dozen living species featured in this gallery.
Recent studies show in just three tiger generations (21 to 27 years) the big cats' population has shrunk by 50 percent and their range has also been halved.
Shrinking space and rampant poaching for traditional Chinese medicine present a formidable challenge to the future of wild tigers.
About half of all living tigers are Bengal tigers (pictured here), sometimes called Indian tigers because most live in that nation.
Others are in Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, China, and Myanmar. Given space and prey Panthera tigris tigris can thrive in many types of forests or grasslands, and the Bengal is the only subspecies that also inhabits mangrove forests, in the Sundarbans island group in the Bay of Bengal.

Black Panther seen in Kenya – first sighting in many years.
This creature has proven to be so elusive that confirmed scientific documentation of the animal's presence in Africa hasn't been achieved in nearly 100 years.
That was until recently, when a team of researchers and a wildlife photographer snapped photographic proof of a black panther in Kenya's Laikipia Wilderness Camp following reports of a black panther being spotted in the area.
Black panther is an umbrella term for leopards or jaguars that exhibit a melanistic color variation.
This variation creates their black fur. Their spots can still be visible if you're close enough, or the sunlight hits them in just the right way.What the team spotted in Kenya was a black leopard.
Rumours have circulated for decades about the presence of black leopards in Africa, but evidence was always lacking.
Indeed, according to National Geographic, the only confirmed sighting is a 1909 photograph unearthed in 2017.


The DEC Gaza Crisis Appeal has reached a total of just over £9m since it launched just seven days ago.
This will enable the DEC's 13 member agencies to continue to scale up their humanitarian response for hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza, while a renewed ceasefire holds. This will involve replenishing urgently needed medical supplies, providing clean water and emergency shelter materials. In addition, agencies will begin supporting the reconstruction of essential infrastructure destroyed in the conflict, such as power supplies, water and sewage systems.
"The money donated by the UK public is allowing our agencies to substantially boost their response, particularly during this period of relative peace. Staff and partners are working day and night to provide the urgent assistance needed for hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza.
"But the situation continues to be critical. Over 10,000 people have been injured, nearly a third of them children. Hospitals and medical teams are struggling to cope with the vast numbers of people needing medical attention. More than 100,000 people have had their homes severely damaged or even completely destroyed.
• ActionAid is helping 3,570 displaced people in Gaza City with supermarket vouchers so they can buy food and essential items like medicine and clothing. They are also providing funding for generator fuel to provide electricity and power water pumps in shelters.
• British Red Cross have been distributing house items including mattresses, blankets, hygiene kits and nappies to 47,574 people across Gaza City, Khan Younis, Deir el Balah and Rafah.
• Christian Aid and its partners have provided 100,000 people with clean water at 100 distribution points. They have distributed food and household items to 8,640 people including canned tomatoes, oil, rice, lentils, beans, sugar, salt, milk for children, sanitary pads and nappies.
• CARE International has doubled its number of mobile health teams enabling it to provide over 300 people a day with essential medical support. It is also distributing dignity kits to 2000 households, which include baby diapers, sanitary pads, soap, shampoo, towels, toothpaste, toothbrush, hair brush, children powder, wipes, toilet paper, disinfestation solution, and laundry detergent, cotton, alcohol gel, and toilet paper.
• CAFOD partners have so far reached 10,400 people through their activities on water, sanitation and hygiene. Household kits, including cooking sets, solar lanterns, and gas stove and gas cylinder have also been distributed to 6,643 people.
The DEC launched its Gaza Crisis Appeal on Friday 8th August with support from all major UK broadcasters. The appeal has been boosted by substantial support from the Department for International Development, which matched the first £2m donated by the public pound-for-pound.
• The DEC brings 13 leading UK aid charities together in times of crisis: ActionAid UK, Age International, British Red Cross, CAFOD, Care International, Christian Aid, Concern Worldwide, Islamic Relief, Oxfam, Plan UK, Save the Children, Tearfund and World Vision; all collectively raising money to reach those in need quickly.
• 11 DEC agencies are currently supporting work or planning to work inside Gaza. Many DEC agencies are working through carefully vetted and monitored partner agencies.
• To make a postal donation make cheques payable to 'DEC and mail to 'PO Box 999, London, EC3A 3AA'.
• Donations can be made at any high street bank and at Post Office counters.


A few months ago REIS approached us here at Revenue River with an issue surrounding their blog. Previously, they had an agency develop a small business product blog in Wordpress. However, their corporate website was utilizing the HubSpot COS and there was a slight disconnect between the two. In addition to having the ability to manage both their blog and website through HubSpot, REIS was also interested in taking advantage of the tracking and analysis HubSpot provided.
3) Need it to look unique and not an "out of the box" solution.
This gave Revenue River quite a bit of freedom in the creative process. We knew their audience was a higher caliber of professional and that definitely helped guide us in our strategy for the new blog.
We attempted to create a modern tiled look that organized the content REIS had in a clear effective way that was easy for their users to digest and dive further into. So why is this unique?
Well, we started with creating a custom template. The challenge was to organize a wide variety of content that spanned different media types as well as topics into a cleanly packaged delivery.
We elected to utilize blog topics and then to segment those topics into containers by utilizing individual blog feeds. The left column was designated for "administrative" functionality like navigation, newsletter signup, social links, glossary of terms and upcoming events. We even utilized specific topic feeds for the glossary and events page in order to maintain the SEO value that content brought to the site.
The media types also posed an interesting obstacle as there were not only blog posts but videos, CTAs, social feeds, etc. So we set up topics for not only the category the information fell under (navigation menu) but also the media type. For instance, the first box is assigned to both the Article topic as well as the apartment topic.
This was especially important as you dive down to subpages within the navigation menu. For instance, if you clicked on Education, or maybe Sectors > Office, this would then filter the blog posts by that particular topic. However, we took it a step further to filter all media types under that specific topic to feed to each section of this page. In order for this to happen, every category, needed to have a piece of content for each media type. That means that under Sectors > Industrial, there needed to be posts assigned to the industrial topic as well as Video, Article, News, and CTA. This would ensure that all "boxes" had content in them for that particular topic.
This posed a challenge for the client as they then needed to make sure there were enough individual posts to fill each media type under each category heading.
Another unique feature of the blog was the navigation menu. Because we were focused on maintaining a clean, tiled or grid layout, we didn't have the luxury of using a standard navigation. We implemented an innovative navigation menu that utilizes slide outs in the existing frame to allow the user to drill down to additional topics without breaking the layout of the page. As mentioned before, clicking on child links in the navigation menu filters blog posts by topic AND media type.
So how did this workout? Well, the blog traffic was up 219% since launching the new blog! REIS is blogging frequently and getting great views on many of the posts they published.
In May and June of this year, the blog on ReisReports.com garnered 1,700 page views. During the same period of time, the new blog on CRE News & Resources garnered 8,500 page views (according to Google Analytics or 6,500 page views according to the HubSpot page performance reports). Either way, it's an impressive improvement over the ReisReports blog traffic.
The other reason this worked so well, is due to the ease of use the HubSpot blog presents to its users. By organizing categories and media types by topics, the client can very easily dictate where a new post will display and how it will show up. Even those who are not familiar with code can easily add a new video or article simply by publishing a new post and selecting the appropriate topics. This was a fundamental cornerstone to this project because as an agency, we strive to set our clients up for success. By giving REIS the power to manage their blog in house, they don't need to worry about having an agency make updates and manage their blog in general.
All in all the project went very smoothly and the end result turned out to be a great benefit to the client. They are happy with the way the new blog presents the image of the company and the back end functionality is not only easy to use, but scalable for the future as the company grows. The collaboration between REIS and Revenue River produced such great results, that it provided the opportunity for us to expand our relationship with them and start an inbound retainer campaign to not only promote their new blog, but to implement the same industry leading strategy to increase their market share and further position them as an industry leader in the Commercial Real Estate industry.

London: UK police have arrested six people in a vicious attack on a teenage asylum-seeker in the London borough of Croydon.
Authorities are questioning four men and two women, all in their 20s, on charges of attempted murder in the attack that left a 17-year old Kurdish-Iranian hospitalised with a fractured skull and a blood clot on his brain.
Police say eight youths approached the teen at a bus stop on Friday night. Upon learning he was an asylum-seeker, they chased him through the streets and beat him. The attack only stopped after bystanders intervened and police sirens could be heard.
Police are treating the attack as a hate crime. Britain has seen a surge in xenophobia expressed in threats, taunts and attacks after Britain's vote to leave the European Union.

Cyclic nucleotide PDEs (phosphodiesterases) are important enzymes that regulate intracellular levels of cAMP and cGMP. In the present study, we identify and characterize novel PDEs in the genetic model, Drosophila melanogaster. The Drosophila genome encodes five novel PDE genes in addition to dunce. Predicted PDE sequences of Drosophila show highly conserved critical domains when compared with human PDEs. Thus PDE-encoding genes of D. melanogaster are CG14940-PDE1C, CG8279-PDE6β, CG5411-PDE8A, CG32648-PDE9 and CG10231-PDE11. Reverse transcriptase–PCRs of adult tissues reveal widespread expression of PDE genes. Drosophila Malpighian (renal) tubules express all the six PDEs: Drosophila PDE1, dunce (PDE4), PDE6, PDE8, PDE9 and PDE11. Antipeptide antibodies were raised against PDE1, PDE6, PDE9 and PDE11. Verification of antibody specificity by Western blotting of cloned and expressed PDE constructs allowed the immunoprecipitation studies of adult Drosophila lysates. Biochemical characterization of immunoprecipitated endogenous PDEs showed that PDE1 is a dual-specificity PDE (Michaelis constant Km for cGMP: 15.3±1 μM; Km cAMP: 20.5±1.5 μM), PDE6 is a cGMP-specific PDE (Km cGMP: 37±13 μM) and PDE11 is a dual-specificity PDE (Km cGMP: 6±2 μM; Km cAMP: 18.5±5.5 μM). Drosophila PDE1, PDE6 and PDE11 display sensitivity to vertebrate PDE inhibitors, zaprinast (IC50 was 71±39 μM for PDE1, 0.65±0.015 μM for PDE6 and 1.6±0.5 μM for PDE11) and sildenafil (IC50 was 1.3±0.9 μM for PDE1, 0.025±0.005 μM for PDE6 and 0.12±0.06 μM for PDE11). We provide the first characterization of a cGMP-specific PDE and two dual-specificity PDEs in Drosophila, and show a high degree of similarity in structure and function between human and Drosophila PDEs.
