Monitorama 2014: This One Weird Time-Series Math TrickTue, May 6, 2014 in Programming Conferences
Monitorama 2014 Portland has been a great show. I've enjoyed the technical nature of the talks, the diversity of the speakers, the topics from hilarious to thought-provoking, and the stage in a theater, set up for a Shakespearean tragedy.
I have also taken a lot of notes. For example, Toufic from Metafor Software suggested that the audience look into the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. I am proud of the slide that made its way into my talk as a result:
My slides are embedded below. Enjoy. I've also uploaded an Excel spreadsheet you can use to tinker with the math and reproduce my results. Let me know if I did anything wrong, please!

I bought a power adapter for the camera, but it doesn't seem to work without batteries in the unit. If I use the batteries alone, I will eventually get a red blinking light at the back of the camera, indicating low battery power, hence the purchase of a power adapter. When using both power adapter and batteries, the red light on the front of the camera is illuminated. The green light on the back of the camera is blinking.

Ist issue: how do you get the battery out? I have been using a nail file to pry it out. 2nd issue: the charger blinks green and orange whether battery is inserted or not.

Is there a fuse in the camera? Hope you can help Neil Low

It works ok with external power supply, so I uploaded ver 1.02 firmware to see if that would solve the issue but still the same fault. Is there anything else you can suggest I try? Thanks, Brian

Patriots will be fine, even without BradyJanuary 18, 2017
Let me start off with this: The quarterback position is the most overrated and over-credited position in team sports. With that being said, it is still the single most important component to a football team.
A quarterback's impact on his team is similar to the heart's impact on the human body. Think about it: a heart must have a constant rhythm to maintain a stable pattern. If a quarterback loses his rhythm, the team will end up looking like JaMarcus Russell's Raiders did on Monday night.
It is also vital for the QB to get the ball to his teammates; much like a heart must feed the components of the body. Otherwise, well, the body dies. Symbolic? Finally, as the heart can generate electrical impulses, a quarterback must generate excitability both on the field, and in the club house.
The above information is the perfect formula for an unstoppable quarterback. However, unlike the heart, with just one of the above attributes, any decent QB can not only survive, but can lead his team to the promise land.
There is always one position in team sports that can be classified as "most important"; the one position that, with just one slip-up, could cost the team the contest.
With baseball, you have the pitchers. It doesn't matter if you have Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Ty Cobb hitting behind you. If a pitcher is unable to retire a batter, you'll lose. Soccer, Hockey, and Lacrosse all have the same concept; can't defend a goal, be defeated.
Quarterbacks seem to reap all the benefits from their team's hard work. When the offensive line is able to read their defenders, pick up blitzes, remember their counts, and BLOCK, the 'quarterback' ran the offense masterfully.
When the defense shuts down the opposing team time after time, the 'quarterback' ruled the time of possession. And finally, when the field goal kicker knocks in a beauty, the 'quarterback' got him in that position in the first place.
Point is, although quarterbacks are essential to winning, they do take up a lot of the spotlight, and probably do not solely deserve the last 22 of 42 Super Bowl MVP awards received.
The loss of Tom Brady on Sunday is a devastating loss for the New England Patriots, if they let it be. The New England Patriots still have a solid defense and an outstanding offense even with the loss of Brady. With Laurence Maroney, Moss, O-line and a quarterback to manage the team, and they will succeed.
I am not saying that they will blow out opponents and go undefeated through the regular season, but they have enough talent to bounce back from a blow like this. Expect victories to be more like the 17-10 W vs. the Chiefs.
There is only one way the former Super Bowl favorites will not succeed this season. That's if their greatest key to success truly is out for the season, their confidence. A quarterback does not need to win for their team; they need to not lose for their team.
My crystal ball is not working today, but my prediction for the Super Bowl victors of 2008-09 is: the team with the best defense, most consistent offense, and keenest play-calling.

The crappy screenshot above shows that dating site HowAboutWe does a good job at letting members know that the more you log in, the more dates you post, the more messages you send, the more they will put you in front of other people.
Many dating sites reward members who send messages (and more importantly respond to, one would hope). However, few are up front about the benefits of being active. Why is this?
Badoo and Are You Interested are more straightforward. The more you pay them, the more often you show up in front of other members. Easy-breezy. Someone should dive into both sites and figure out why Badoo is supposedly approaching $100 million in revenue and AYI is at about a quarter of that.
While both approaches have their merits, I'm more of a fan of activity-based exposure, along with trust and reputation metrics. Organic activity trumps paid exposure when it comes to serious dating, but with the casual dating market getting so large and unruly, expect many more sites to launch based on the Are You Interested/Badoo model. There's simply too much short-term money to be made churning through millions of horny guys around the world willing to part with $25-$50 a month for potential hook-ups. Although most guys have no intention of meeting with the women on these sites. Its Myspace voyeurism with a paid layer on top. Unless for most everyone, but pretty damn smart given the size of the market.
Question of the week: Dear Lazyweb, someone wrote in to say they had too many ugly people on their dating site, asking if I knew a way skew the site towards better-looking people. Besides buying profiles from BeautifulPeople and a few other possibilities like rejecting certain photos for being to blurry or some other white lie that I'm not entirely comfortable with, how can this site up the hotness factor of their members?

Webber, M. and Straughan, B. (2006) 'Stability of pressure driven flow in a microchannel.', Rendiconti del Circolo Matematico di Palermo : serie II., 78 (2). pp. 343-357.
We present the problem of stability of Poiseuille flow in the plane, with slip boundary conditions. We review existing work on the linear theory, and present new results from the nonlinear analysis. For the linear case, the critical Reynolds number increases rapidly with slip length, whereas in the nonlinear case the critical Reynolds number is seen to at first decrease, and then increase approximately linearly with slip length.

Honda Win for Sale - In Cambodia, with Vietnam Papers
Honda Win for Sale - In Cambodia, with Vietnam Papers
This form has been closed and no further posts are being accepted.
Hey guys (/gals),
I just arrived in Phnom Pehn and have a Honda Win for sale that I bought in Hanoi with Vietnam papers. I road down to Saigon (and now into Cambodia) w/o any problems and the bike is running great. I'm leaving Phnom Pehn tomorrow for Siem Reap , so if you are here or will be in Siem Reap in the next couple of days (Dec 8-10) and want to take a look, let me know.
I hear the bikes with Vietnam papers are hard to find here and go for more, but I'm not too concerned about it. Paid $400 to get a good one from a Western reseller in Hanoi and looking to get back $275, but will entertain offers. Will include helmet and poncho if you want it.

Though still widely recommended by many analysts, high-yield mortgage REITs have poor total returns this year. MoneyShow's Tom Aspray shows you why you must look at the charts before you buy.
With another weak close on Tuesday the Spyder Trust (SPY) is now down 6.9% from its intra-day high on September 14. This does not look to bad when compared to the PowerShares QQQ Trust (QQQ), which has lost 10.7% but many of those searching for the highest yields have been hit even harder.
One of the long-term favorites of those desperate for high yields as well as TV's best known and loudest stock picker has been Annaly Capital Management (NLY). Even though it has dropped 18.5% from its September 14 high, many are still recommending it for its current yield of 13.4%.
I began cautioning investors over a year ago to closely examine the chart and relative performance analysis of all high-yield picks. I felt then that the potential capital loss could offset their yields as their charts looked negative.
According to Morningstar.com the total return of NLY for the YTD is 0.63% versus 14.8% for a diversified REIT and 11.4% for the S&P 500. Looking out longer term the three-year total return for NLY is just 7.38%.
In mid-October the longer term outlook had weakened further suggesting that after an oversold bounce they were likely to go even lower. From its late October high to Tuesday's low NLY has lost another13.5%. If you are long one of the mortgage REITS or are considering buying one, a look at their charts may change your mind.
Click to Enlarge
Chart Analysis: The daily chart of Annaly Capital Management (NLY) shows an upward trading channel, lines a and b, that was violated on October 8. Over the next four days it dropped another 8%.
As I have noted before Capstead Mortgage Corporation (CMO) is a $1.2 billion, Dallas-based REIT that currently yields 12.1%. It peaked at $14.59 on September 24 and has had a low this week of $11.42. This is a drop of 21.7%.
Click to Enlarge
Anworth Mortgage Asset Corp. (ANH) is a $846 million REIT that current yields 10.4% but has a total return for the YTD of -1.6%. The daily chart shows the down gap through support, line b, and it subsequently has dropped from $6.50 to $5.50.
Hatteras Financial Corp. (HTS) is a $2.5 billion REIT that is based in North Carolina and currently yields 12.3%. HTS had a high on September 21 of $29.67 but just a week later dropped through the support from the June lows, line e, at $27.80. It has a YTD total return of 5.54%
What it Means: I hope that many of those investors looking for outsized yields will also understand that these yields have a high level of risk. In my opinion, they are not now suitable for investors but can sometimes offer some good trading opportunities.
These examples also hopefully reinforce the importance of doing your own research and to not blindly follow anyone's recommendations, especially those who continue to recommend a stock that has steadily declined for a few years.
For those who are still long any of these four REITs, another bounce is likely over the next few weeks. As was the case in the middle of October, it should be an opportunity to sell any long positions or to place a hard stop under the lows.
How to Profit: No new recommendation.

Another successful WEA National Conference and Exhibition ("WineEng 2013") was held during Wednesday 5th and Thursday 6th June at the Serafino Winery Complex in McLaren Vale with the theme being titled "Tastes of the Future". The event was well attended with favourable commentary being received from delegates, conference presenters and exhibitors.
The key note address was given by Steve Maglieri in conjunction with his chief winemaker Charles Whish, the content of this joint address was both informative and entertaining and was extremely well received by all in attendance.
As a lead up to this years conference a full day workshop covering the topic of winery wastewater treatment took place on the Tuesday prior to the conference, this event consisted of visits to a number of wineries to look at various methods of wastewater treatment and finished up at a municipal treatment plant that supplies recycled water to McLaren Vale vineyards.
This workshop proved extremely popular with 28 people being in attendance.
JJC Engineering personnel John Constable and Mike Carson were actively involved in this event and were on hand to provide valuable technical advice to participants which was greatly appreciated by all and the WEA would in turn like to thank John and Mike for their companies support. Given the success of this event we are already looking at arranging a similar structured workshop on another topic on the day prior to the 2014 WEA conference.
In all sixteen technical presentations were given by a diverse range of presenters covering such topics as dealing with new varietal wine and low alcohol wine production, fermentation techniques, winery wastewater treatment, production efficiency, Small lot winemaking, reclamation of oak, gas technology and employee well being etc. All presentations were well attended and received and in turn provoked a good deal of thought amongst the delegates.
Another popular part of this years event were the tastings conducted at the end of the conference sessions each day, the first day's tasting being conducted by Serafino's winemaker Charles Whish during which he presented varietal wines produced by Serafino and explained each wine style and the associated Another popular part of this years event were the tastings conducted at the end of the conference sessions each day, the first day's tasting being conducted by Serafino's winemaker Charles Whish during which he presented varietal wines produced by Serafino and explained each wine style and the associated characteristics. The second days tasting was conducted by Rosemount's winemaker Andrew Locke during which he presented both varietal and low alcohol wines produced by TWE's Rosemount McLaren Vale winery.Both tastings attracted a lot of interest and for many were a great introduction to alternative wine varieties.
This year's exhibition was made up of in excess of 24 exhibitors all of which were well set up and professionally presented, as always the exhibition generated a lot of interest and allowed delegates to find out about new products and services being offered plus the opportunity to renew acquaintances and network amongst their peers.
As always the traditional conference dinner was thoroughly enjoyed by all in attendance and was a great opportunity to continue networking with colleagues, presenters and industry suppliers, a feature for which the annual WEA conference and exhibition has become renowned for. The associated raffle in aid of the Royal Flying Doctor Service was well supported both in the way of the donation of prizes from industry suppliers and the purchase of tickets by attendee's, in turn we are pleased to be able to announce that this years raffle raised a total of $3,902 every cent of which will be presented to the Sunraysia Auxiliary of the RFDS.
This donation will bring the total raised by the WEA since 2003 and donated to the RFDS to $40,146.70
In regards to the venue for this years conference the WEA was extremely pleased with the facilities and the way in which all facets of the conference and exhibition were accommodated, the Serafino staff were also extremely helpful and accommodating, we have had a good deal of positive feedback regarding the venue from both delegates and exhibitors and we therefore look forward to returning to this venue for future events.

Meet the Exonerees
Kenneth Ireland
State: Connecticut
Date of Birth:
Incident Date: 09/02/1986
Age at Arrest: 18
Conviction Date: 1989
Age When Exonerated: 40
Exonerated Date: 08/19/2009
Time Served: 21
Conviction: Felony Murder, First-Degree Sexual Assault, Third-Degree Burglary
False Confession: No
Implicated by Another Youth: No
Case Details
Kenneth Ireland was wrongfully convicted of the 1986 rape and murder of thirty-year-old mother of four, Barbara Pelkey. Ireland was convicted on the basis of DNA evidence and the testimony of two individuals that alleged Ireland had incriminated himself in the crime. Later evidence revealed that the two witnesses might have implicated Ireland in exchange for a $20,000 reward. Additionally, the DNA evidence used to convict Ireland was inconclusive, since 20% of the population share the blood-type that both Ireland and perpetrator happened to have. In 2009, with the use of new DNA technology, the evidence from the case was reexamined, excluding Ireland as the perpetrator. Ireland was granted a new trial and exonerated as a result of the new DNA evidence.

California Law Enforcement Says "YES" to Proposition 35
California – Proposition 35 – Stop Human Trafficking in California is quickly gaining widespread support among the California law enforcement community. Since the YES on Prop 35 campaign launched, 51 law enforcement officials and organizations have endorsed the measure. Slated for the November 2012 ballot, Prop 35 is an initiative that will fight back against human trafficking and the sexual exploitation of women and children in the state.
Ron Cottingham, President of the Peace Officers Research Association of California (PORAC), explained why supporting Prop 35 has become such a strong point of agreement for those involved with law enforcement, saying, "Proposition 35 will be a monumental step forward for California in preventing sexual exploitation and protecting victims of human trafficking – which is why California Peace Officers strongly support this ballot initiative. As those on the front lines in the fight against human trafficking, we see the need to protect women and children on our street and on the internet by increasing penalties against human traffickers and online predators."
In addition to the 63,000 members of PORAC, the California Police Chiefs Association (CPCA) also strongly backs Prop 35. Chief Dave Maggard, President of the CPCA, announced the endorsement, saying, "The California Police Chiefs Association is proud to support Prop 35, which will help us protect vulnerable women and children from human traffickers and online predators. Victims of these crimes rely on us as first responders in communities throughout our state. For these local law enforcement officers, Prop 35 is a critical step forward in the fight against human trafficking and for the protection of children online."
In a recent statement, Alameda County DA Nancy O'Malley also explained why the initiative is so important for California, saying, "The grim reality is that human trafficking of vulnerable women and children is taking place in communities across California. I've worked for over a decade to combat this crime and I can say with firsthand experience that our state needs tougher penalties against human traffickers and services to help victims. Californians can fight back against these crimes by supporting Proposition 35."

About Proposition 35 – Stop Human Trafficking in California:
In California, many vulnerable women and young girls are held against their will and forced to sell their bodies. The victims are often girls as young as 12 who are sexually exploited for the financial gain of human traffickers. They are afraid for their lives and abused – sexually, physically, and mentally.
Human trafficking is said to be one of the fastest growing criminal enterprises in the world – and it is taking place right here in our own backyard. Three cities in California – San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego – are recognized by the FBI as high intensity child sex trafficking areas. In addition, a recent national study by a victims' rights group gave California an "F" grade for its weak laws dealing with child sex trafficking.
Proposition 35, a partnership of California Against Slavery and the Safer California Foundation, will protect children in California by:
· Increasing prison terms for human traffickers.
· Requiring convicted sex traffickers to register as sex offenders.
· Requiring all registered sex offenders to disclose their internet accounts.
· Requiring criminal fines from convicted human traffickers to pay for services to help victims.
Proposition 35 has also been endorsed by organizations representing over 90,000 rank and file California Peace Officers, advocates for the protection of children, including Marc Klaas and the KlaasKids Foundation, and victims who survived sexual exploitation when they were children. Prop 35 has strong bipartisan support and is endorsed by both major political parties in California.

Facebook Stalking- DON'T DO IT! … OR DO IT & TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT
I'm not always proud of the decisions that I make, but sometimes those horrible decisions make for a great story. So it kind of makes it all worth it.
Little known fact about me: I've been engaged before!
So the other day I found some cards that my ex-fiance had previously sent me (PS. how much time has to pass before a person stops being an ex-fiance and just goes back to being a person?) So I read this letter and all of these memories come rushing back. So what do I do? I do what any other sane person would do and I get on Facebook to try to find him. 25 minutes later … that's right … 25 minutes LATER. There he is. I could feel every bit of my brain trying to stop me and yet I click on his profile. Mind you, I haven't spoken to this person since our engagement ended about 3 and a half years ago. I literally had NO IDEA what he had been up to. Turns out he's been busy!
So busy in fact he has gotten married and he recently had a child, while I'm over here watching reruns of FRIENDS. Thankfully I came to my senses quickly thereafter and logged off of Facebook, I would have most likely messaged him if I would have stared at his picture for too much longer. Now, it's not that I still have feelings for him (in reality I doubt I ever really had feelings for him) it's just- I hate seeing an ex happy. I know it's stupid and immature but we all do it! Facebook Stalking, literally turned my mood from inquisitive to utterly depressed. Don't do it kids! Nothing good can come from it!
If you do do it though (do do haha … I'm a child!) be sure to come back here and tell me all about it!
I made a video about my little adventure on Facebook, Check it out!

Chipotle has jumped into the culture wars with both feet — or, perhaps, both barrels — and they are sure to become the target of right-wing conservatives who any second now will be declaring a boycott of the fast-food Mexican grill they likely never ate at anyway.
Earlier this month, members of a Texas group calling itself Open Carry Tarrant County marched into their local Dallas-area Chipotle and scared customers half to death. As you can see from this image, these two young gun slingers (and others) were armed with assault weapons and semiautomatic handguns, posing for photos.
Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, which has been petitioning Chipotle to ban guns, posted the above image on their Facebook page and noted that in "Texas, no background check, license, training, or age limit is required to carry a loaded AR15. And did we mention that Chipotle serves alcohol?"
Following in Starbucks' footsteps, Chipotle yesterday issued a statement not banning guns, but saying "we are respectfully asking that customers not bring guns into our restaurants, unless they are authorized law enforcement personnel."
"The vast majority of gun owners are responsible citizens and we appreciate them honoring this request," Chipotle noted in the very generous statement, adding "the display of firearms in our restaurants has now created an environment that is potentially intimidating or uncomfortable for many of our customers."
Meanwhile, if that's not enough ammunition to anger conservatives, Chipotle's pretty awesome ad (above) in New York City's annual gay pride parade Pride Guide sure as heck will be.
The Mexican-styled "fast casual" restaurant chain has about 1600 locations and isn't even in the top ten of highest-grossing restaurants in the nation, taking in just $327 million last year. But it's an S&P 500 component (NYSE:CMG) and its stock trades at about $500 a share.
Boycotts tend to increase business. There's a Chipotle near our home. There was a line out the door and around the corner yesterday afternoon. Given their stance on guns and gays, that line will likely be even longer today.

Everyone knows Hollerans don't go near the Baines family. It's been that way since Joseph Carl Baine was hanged in 1936. But on a dark Kentucky night in 1952 Annie Holleran crosses over into forbidden territory because local superstition says that Annie can see her future in the Baines' well. What she sees instead, there in the moonlight, is a dead woman. And suddenly the events of 1936, events that have twisted and shaped the lives of Annie and all her kin, are brought back into the present. And if Annie is to save herself, her family and this small Kentucky town, she must face the terrible reality of what happened all those years ago (http://www.amazon.ca/Let-Me-Die-His-Footsteps-ebook/dp/B00OZ0TNEU?ie=UTF8&keywords=let%20me%20die%20in%20his%20footsteps&qid=1461938103&ref_=sr_1_1&s=books&sr=1-1).
I highlighted the other nominees in my January 23 blog entry: http://schatjesshelves.blogspot.ca/2016/01/nominees-for-2016-edgar-awards.html.
The Best First Novel is The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen which recently won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
"The Sympathizer is the story of a man of two minds, someone whose political beliefs clash with his individual loyalties. In dialogue with but diametrically opposed to the narratives of the Vietnam War that have preceded it, this novel offers an important and unfamiliar new perspective on the war: that of a conflicted communist sympathizer.
"It is April 1975, and Saigon is in chaos. At his villa, a general of the South Vietnamese army is drinking whiskey and, with the help of his trusted captain, drawing up a list of those who will be given passage aboard the last flights out of the country. The general and his compatriots start a new life in Los Angeles, unaware that one among their number, the captain, is secretly observing and reporting on the group to a higher-up in the Viet Cong. The Sympathizer is the story of this captain: a man brought up by an absent French father and a poor Vietnamese mother, a man who went to university in America, but returned to Vietnam to fight for the Communist cause. Viet Thanh Nguyen's astonishing novel takes us inside the mind of this double agent, a man whose lofty ideals necessitate his betrayal of the people closest to him" (http://www.pulitzer.org/winners/viet-thanh-nguyen).
In total, prizes for fifteen categories were awarded. For the complete list, see http://www.theedgars.com/nominees.html.

Earning three No. 1 singles in a row–"Round Here," "Get Your Shine On" and "Cruise"–is an impressive feat that's helped define Florida Georgia Line as kings of the good-time party anthem. But "Stay," the latest single from the ACM award-winning duo's debut album Here's To The Good Times, is a different animal entirely.
The song revolves around a breakup, where the woman has walked out and the guy is left pleading with her to come back. The music video, though, takes things a few steps further by adding a new level of drama–and darkness–to the situation.
The video kicks off in a trailer park, with a woman looking sadly around the wreckage of a burned-out trailer. A dog sniffs out a cellphone and brings it to her, which sets off a flashback to the events leading up to the fire. These involve the breakup, and the subsequent pleading for her to "Stay" via text messages on that very phone. Watch below:
Where previous FGL singles like "Cruise" (including the remix of the song with Nelly) were easy for country fans to latch onto and sing along with, it'll be curious to see if the clearly downbeat "Stay" has the same effect.
But as FGL's Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley told Radio.com back when Here's To The Good Times was first released, they deliberately aimed for diversity.
Despite the album's title, Tyler explained that the songs are not all party tunes but instead represent a "wide spectrum of who we are."
"We like having a good time, but that consists of a lot more than just partying," he continued. "We're not just two dudes who like to throw a party every night."
Brian echoed that sentiment. The songs on the record "really represent who we are and what we want to say."

Having spent the past five seasons on loan at clubs as far afield as Leeds, Ipswich and Bath, the 22-year-old Guildford-born goalkeeper produced the performance of a lifetime to extended Reading's unbeaten run to three games.
Continuing to deputise for the injured Adam Federici, McCarthy took his opportunity with both hands and, at times, both feet. Having denied Danny Graham and Wayne Routledge in a first half that saw Reading establish a two-goal lead thanks to goals from Pavel Pogrebnyak and Noel Hunt, he pulled off four more remarkable saves after the interval.
His efforts were not enough to earn Reading a first victory of the Premier League season, but for McCarthy, it was a day he will always remember.
"It was disappointing not to win, but I was pleased with the way things went for me," said McCarthy, who has already been capped at Under-21 level. His next step could be to join John Ruddy and Jack Butland in the international squad as understudies for Joe Hart. A long-term ambition it might be, but on the evidence of Saturday's display, the 6ft 4in goalkeeper has taken a giant stride in the right direction.
"There are a lot of quality English keepers out there, so we will have to wait and see what happens," said McCarthy. "I will just keep doing my thing and hopefully I will get there one day."
Manager Brian McDermott was suitably impressed with a performance that earned Reading a valuable away point. "He has a lot of potential and has really shown how much he wants to stay in the team," he said.
"I thought he was first class today. He needed to be, because Swansea were very dangerous. Some of his saves were excellent."
In the end, Swansea City brought to an end their three-match losing run with goals from Michu, 19 minutes from time, and Routledge eight minutes later. On the balance of play, Swansea should have won at a canter but they were made to rue one or two careless moments in front of goal before Pogrebnyak's opener.
Manager Michael Laudrup was far from disgruntled with the outcome but warned that his side would need to show greater awareness in defence, if this season is to be anywhere near as good as last. "I don't have a problem winning 3-2 or 5-4, but I think conceding an average of two goals a game is a bit much.
"If the average is two, then you have to score two just to get a point or three to win and in this league, that's too much to expect."
In front of Ryder Cup hero Sergio García, who has spent the week celebrating in Swansea with his sister and her partner, Pablo Hernández, Swansea might have won the game if a late penalty appeal had not been turned down.
