June 17, 2014 - Southern League (SL) Pensacola Blue Wahoos PENSACOLA, Fla. - The Blue Wahoos will look much different when the second half of the Southern League season opens play on Thursday, June 19th. Most notably, Gulf Breeze product and Cincinnati's 2013 fourth round pick Ben Lively. The right-hander headlines a list of seven call-ups from Bakersfield that will join the Wahoos to start the second half as Pensacola looks to improve on its fifth place first half finish.

Lively, drafted last year out of the University of Central Florida, was named the starter of the California League All-Star game after leading the league in nearly every pitching category through the first half. He was the league leader in ERA (2.28), wins (10), strikeouts (95) and WHIP (0.92). He was among the leaders in opponent batting average (3rd, .201) and innings pitched (79). Lively began the season allowing just one run over his first five outings. Entering the season he was ranked as the Reds No. 12 prospect according to MLB.com.

The Blue Wahoos will also get the addition of 2012 first round pick and Reds No. 3 prospect Jesse Winker. He was hitting .317 with 13 home runs and 49 RBI over 53 games in the Bakersfield outfield. He ranked among the league leaders in batting average (8th), on-base percentage (3rd, .426), slugging percentage (3rd, .580) and home runs per at bat (2nd, 1/15.77). With the addition of Winker, the Blue Wahoos now have four of the organization's top five prospect on the roster. The others are Robert Stephenson (No. 1), Michael Lorenzen (No. 3) and Carlos Contreras (No. 5).

Joining Winker in the outfield will be Kyle Waldrop and Marquez Smith. Waldrop was Bakersfield's top hitter with a league-best .359 average. He was also among the league leaders in doubles with 20. Smith is returning to Pensacola where he played in 21 games a year ago. He was the team leader in home runs with 15, good for second in the league, and RBI with 67 while hitting .298 for the Blaze.

The bullpen will get the addition of RHP Carlos Gonzalez. He had a tremendous first half out of the Bakersfield bullpen with a 0.57 ERA. He ranked third among California League closers with 15 saves.

Other additions include infielders Ryan Wright and Seth Mejias-Brean. Wright, a fifth round pick in 2011, spent most of his time at second base and hit .311 with eight home runs and 41 RBI. Mejias-Brean, drafted in the eighth round in 2012, has spent most of the year at third base with a .300 average and 11 home runs and 45 RBI.

To make room for the additions, Justin Freeman, Rey Navarro, Steve Selsky and Juan Silverio have been transferred to Triple-A Louisville. Mikey O'Brien was transferred to Single-A Bakersfield. Ray Chang and Josh Fellhauer will both begin the second half on the disabled list with undisclosed injuries. Left-handed reliever Lee Hyde was released by the organization.

The players will be available to the media following a team workout beginning at 10 a.m. Thursday morning at Pensacola Bayfront Stadium. The Blue Wahoos will open play on the second half of the season at home Thursday against the first half north division champion Huntsville Stars. It will be a Seville Quarter Thirsty Thursday with additional drink specials made available throughout the game as part of the Wahoo Waddle. First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m., gates open at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are still available for the entire series at BlueWahoos.com or by calling (850) 934-8444.

Local Product Ben Lively Highlights Second-Half Roster Overhaul

The Nest got people to look at formerly mundane appliances like a thermostat in a new way, as something that should be smarter and could stand to get better-looking too. We loved the last Honeywell Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat that we tested, but dinged its design compared to the circular elegance of the Nest.

Now the company that invented the Round thermostat back in 1953 is back with a new line of smart home devices called Lyric. And first up is, you guessed it, a smart thermostat. It looks familiarwhich is to say, beautifulbut it takes a different approach to saving you money than the Nest. Instead of trying to learn your patterns over time, the Lyric thermostat doesnt worry about patterns. Instead, it uses your phones geolocation features to start conserving energy as soon as you leave your house.

The Lyric thermostat assumes that if your smartphone is at your house, so are you. You can register your familys phones with the app, and itll use the geofencing features in iOS and Android to tell when everybodys left for the day. Once you get within a few miles of your house, the thermostat springs back to life, heating or cooling your house so its at your preferred temperature (or at least getting there) as you stroll through the door.

Looks familiar, works a little differently.

The Fine Tune feature is pretty smart too. You know how sometimes the weather forecast has two temperatures: the real air temperature, and whatever it actually feels like, adjusted for the wind chill or the heat index? The Lyric is programmed to make those same adjustments inside your house. Fine Tune factors not just the indoor temperature, but also what its like outside, and the humidity (the Lyric houses its own humidity sensor), so it can make adjustments like running your systems fans more or bumping the temperature up or down a degree.

A proximity sensor lights up the Lyric when you walk up to it, showing you the temperature and status. LEDs around the outside of the Lyric cast a glowing ring on your wall: blue when its cooling, orange when its heating, and green if its in energy saving away status.

Glanceable weather on your way out the door? Nice touch.

You can twist the ring to make adjustments to the temperature, or press one of the touch buttons. One button sets the Lyric to away, which can be handy if youre leaving your phone behind on purpose. The other button shows you a brief glimpse at the weather forecast for the next 12 hoursenough to see if you should grab an umbrella on your way out.

The Lyric app is as smart as the thermostat. First, it walks you through every step of the installation process with videos and even interactive guides. For example, when you remove the front of your old thermostat, youll see different colored wires attached to lettered connections. Since most people dont have a lot of thermostat-installing experience, it can be intimidating.

Lyric's app for iOS and Android lets you set up profiles for various activities.

Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) June 16, 2014

Distinctive Design / Build / Remodel wins a Chrysalis Award for a stunning kitchen remodel on Lake Davidson in Mooresville, NC. The Chrysalis Awards program, begun in 1994, recognizes the nations best work in sixteen general categories of residential and commercial remodeling. The Chrysalis Awards are open to professional remodelers and design professionals in the United States.

Distinctive Design / Build / Remodel is one of 70 remodeling companies from across the United States named a winner at the 2014 Chrysalis Awards for Remodeling Excellence. The entries were judged on overall design, the creative use of space and materials, and the degree to which the project enhanced the original structure. This was the first year they have entered the awards, and to take home top honors on the first attempt is impressive, says Ken Kanline, Director of the Awards.

Distinctive Design / Build / Remodel won a regional award for best kitchen in the $100K+ category. Anything but ordinary thats what this kitchen remodel is all about. From the clean, simple lines of the cabinetry to the dramatic corbel ceiling, this kitchen went from standard to outstanding. Guided by the design and construction experts at Distinctive Design / Build / Remodel, the kitchen was transformed into a high-style yet hard-working space for homeowners who love to cook and entertain.

The homeowners often prepare meals for their large, extended family. But their original kitchen was disjointed and didnt reflect their sense of style. They spent two years dreaming about the remodel and countless hours clipping magazines, researching products and interviewing builders before selecting Distinctive Design / Build / Remodel for the remodel.

All aspects of the remodel required careful consideration and coordination. The inset cabinet doors with a subtle beaded face frame are painted a soothing celadon color. There are only a few upper cabinets which is a break from tradition. One large cupboard with a custom sleeve made out of knotty alder sits on the Giallitta "leathered" granite countertop. A recessed cabinet makes good use of an existing void in the wall and is the perfect place to store a blender and other small appliances. Even the cabinetry framing the massive refrigerator and freezer is minimal.

Because there are so few wall cabinets cluttering the scene, your eye is drawn up to hand-crafted faux beams which are stained to match the knotty alder. A metal vent hood hand forged by an artisan blacksmith provides a counter-balance to the refrigerator and freezer and introduces another organic material to the mix.

One of the most striking features of this kitchen is the corbel ceiling which extends over the gently curved seating bar. The corbel is coated with several layers of Venetian plaster which is a mixture of aged lime, marble dust and pigment. It is polished by hand, looks like antique stone, and is luxurious to the touch.

It takes a specialized team of designers and builders to bring a kitchen like this to life, says Erin Dougherty, Design Coordinator of Distinctive Design / Build / Remodel. Craftsmanship and attention to detail is the key to bringing it all together, says Dougherty. We are fortunate to have clients who are not afraid to build out of the box and who trust us to guide them through the hundreds of decisions that have to be made throughout the process.

For the homeowner, the hours of planning and weeks of disruption were all worth it. "We thoroughly enjoy our kitchen and are very pleased that General Contractor, Vince Busby, and his Distinctive team took control of our complex project. It is not every day that you redo a kitchen, so getting it done right once was a priority," says Chris Magryta.

Manhattan is poised to add the most office space in any three-year period since 1990 as projects including buildings at Hudson Yards and the World Trade Center site are completed, the New York Building Congress said.

The borough, home to the largest U.S. office market, probably will add 9 million square feet (836,000 square meters) of office space at nine development sites from last year through 2015, according to the organization, which promotes construction in the New York City area. An additional 10 million square feet at six buildings is likely to become available from 2016 through 2018, the group said in a statement today.

Its a vote of confidence in the market, which we think is long overdue, Richard T. Anderson, president of the New York Building Congress, said in a telephone interview. As a global center of finance and office-related functions, the city needs to regenerate its office space.

Office-using jobs in New York City last year surpassed the 1.8 million mark for the first time, an increase in demand thats helping support the construction boom, the group said. The estimates through 2018 include planned towers at 2 and 3 World Trade Center in lower Manhattan, where office leasing has exceeded the five-year average in each of the past 12 quarters, real estate brokerage CBRE Group Inc. (CBG) said in an April report.

A total of 24.4 million square feet of new office space is expected to be built from 2010 through 2019, more than the 19.4 million square feet added from 2000 through 2009 and the 10.7 million square feet delivered in the 1990s, the Building Congress said. This decades total will be about half of the 49 million square feet completed in the 1980s, the group said.

Filling the added office space may be a challenge, with slowing job growth in office-related industries including finance, insurance and law, Anderson said. Also, the amount of space occupied by each Manhattan office worker is dropping to about 200 square feet per worker in newly built and renovated buildings from 250 square feet, a sign of cost-cutting by employers, according to the Building Congress.

Renovation remains the dominant source of office construction, making up 70 percent of development spending, the group said.

Lower Mahattans 3 World Trade Center is stalled at eight stories while government officials and developer Larry Silverstein work on a plan to finance the 80-story tower. He is seeking an anchor tenant to justify the construction of 2 World Trade Center.
