What: This sparkly, yet minimalistic, Evans wallet that doubles as a small clutch makes for easy toting when out on the town. Covered in metallic mesh, the handheld is a more industrial take on the sporty perforation trend (Neiman Marcus' Ken Downing called it in his fashion forecast) that's been embraced by labels including Reed Krakoff and Proenza Schouler.
Where: Pearls
Cost: $16
Style It: Carry the wallet as a clutch for a night out in a pintuck-pleated faux leather skirt from Karl Saatchi and a heart-printed rosy pink and black Lanvin top. Complete the look with sequined slippers from Marc by Marc Jacobs, a Lulu Frost resin spike pendant, and a playful compact ring (it opens up to reveal a mirror for quick make-up checks) by Maison Martin Margiela.

Manageability and business analytics with SQL Server 2005
Although it's not scheduled to ship until early next year, attendees at the 2004 PASS Community Summit are eager to get closer glimpse at SQL Server 2005.
ORLANDO -- Though plenty of people have already caught a glimpse of SQL Server 2005, and some companies, Microsoft included, are even using Beta 2 in production environments, most enterprises won't be seeing the latest release of Microsoft's DBMS until it ships early next year. But attendees here at the 2004 PASS Community Summit are eager to learn about what's ahead.
Microsoft's third generation DBMS is a huge step towards Microsoft's vision of a "complete data platform," according to David Campbell, keynote speaker and general manager of the SQL Server relational engine at Microsoft. The volume of data is growing, the number of data types is expanding, and businesses are interested in learning more from their data sooner in its life cycle. And the way Campbell sees it, there should be no reason that these sorts of processes that used to take weeks to complete can't be done in a matter of seconds, directly in the database.
To that end, SQL Server 2005 includes a number of new features that make it easier to incorporate different types of data and develop and manage the entire system more efficiently. While maintaining, and enhancing, much of the GUI-based manageability that has made previous iterations of SQL Server so popular and easy to use, Microsoft is making a big move to appeal to enterprise users by embedding analysis and reporting features not typically included in a DBMS. Enterprises can build a robust data warehouse with all the pieces "included in the box," Campbell said.
Here are a few highlights of what you can expect in the final version of SQL Server 2005.
Focus on high availability, better backup and recovery
In the area of keeping SQL Server up and running, Microsoft has made a few notable updates. For one, online index operations allow an index to be built on a table without that table being locked. This is huge, according to Walter Guerrero of Computer Associates.
"If I want to create an index or alter an index, I can do it with everything online," Guerrero said. "Users will be able to access the table, and any concurrent changes will be placed into the table after the index creations is done."
James Luetkehoelter of Spyglass LLC, singled out database snapshot and database mirroring as two new features that greatly enhance the backup and recovery capabilities of SQL Server 2005. Database snapshot, essentially a read-only copy of a database, can be used to restore the original database back to a specific point in time. It can be used, for instance, as a safeguard when deploying new code. A DBA can take a snapshot of the database just before making any changes, and use it to go back in case anything goes wrong.
Database mirroring, a feature Oracle pros have long used, creates two physical copies of the same database. Described by Luetkehoelter as a "cost-effective alternative to clustering," database mirroring can be implemented on diverse hardware, but he notes that it can be complex to set up and isn't necessarily the best option to use over a WAN.
Integrated management tools
The familiar tools like Query Analyzer, Enterprise Manager, SQL Service Manager, Profiler, Index Tuning Wizard, and others are coming together in SQL Server 2005. Creating integrated, scalable tools to manage more systems and more types of systems was one of the key goals for SQL Server 2005, according to Richard Waymire, a group program manager in Microsoft's SQL server BI unit, who suggested that administrators might expect full integration even with third-party tools eventually. But for this round, Microsoft created a set of tools based on the "experiences" of configuration, management, authoring, performance tuning and operations.
Configuration tools, which will ship with MSDE, are built around SQL Computer Manager, which replaces Client Network Utility, Server Network Utility and SQL Service Manager.
SQL Server Management Studio "combines the object browser of Query Analyzer with the tree structure of Enterprise Manager," according to Waymire. It will include an enhanced help section that attempts to limit error numbers to a single possible scenario that would create it and includes a link to a specific Web page with resources and possible solutions.
Dmitry Sonkin and Slavik Krassovsky, software design engineers at Microsoft, emphasized the efficiencies DBAs can expect. Whereas now a DBA who typically deals with different problems at the same time and has to open many different instances of and windows of tools to handle different tasks, in SQL Server 2005, there's one tool, where all the menus are the same, the help section is the same, and the usability of the window interface is flexible. The goal of the tools, according to Krassovsky, is to increase productivity by making things like troubleshooting so much faster. "Management Studio will make life easier," Sonkin said.
All languages are supported in the new set of authoring tools, including the table designer and stored procedure designer. Templates will be available for common operations, and to the delight of many, Open Table will be restored in the beta 3 version.
For performance tuning and optimization tasks, Profiler maintains its current functionality and appearance but adds OLAP and DTS support, a new role for rights to run it, an XML showplan, deadlock visualization (without the need to use trace flag), and visual perfmon correlation. Database Tuning Advisor will replace the index tuning wizard and has new options, along with the ability to recognize partitions. Query hints are now broken down into groupings that make it easy to find the appropriate command. Replay, a tool not used by many people now, can be used to replay the profiler trace to simulate production loads and check coding before upgrading from SQL Server 2000 to 2005.
Finally, in operations, SQL Server Agent includes changes that should enhance performance and SQLCMD, the new command line interpreter, will replace osql and isql. SQLiMail will offer SMTP and cluster support, without the need for Outlook to be installed on the server.
Streamlined database application development
One of the biggest, and most controversial, changes in SQL Server 2005 is that the CLR is embedded inside the database engine, meaning T-SQL functions can be converted to CLR functions for significant performance gains, and applications can be run inside the engine.
A new tool called Service Broker also stands to alter the way applications are designed. Campbell described the new feature as an asynchronous programming environment that creates a "persistent dialogue" between the client application and the server.
Jeremy Kadlec, a consultant with Merrimack, NH-based Edgewood Solutions and a SearchDatabase.com expert, singled out Service Broker as one that he thinks will have a big impact on application development, both for its technical innovation and the fact that it is integrated into SQL Server. Speaking of the queuing involved with a lot of different applications, Kadlec pointed out that most companies currently rely on third-party tools to alleviate the problem. But with Service Broker, Kadlec says, there's no additional cost associated with the functionality, and in the long run, it will be easier to maintain.
Additionally, semi-structured data, like user defined functions, stored procedures, triggers and XML files, will have "deep support" in 2005, and a new data type, varchar(max) will be available. Also, SQL Server 2005 can be accessed directly by Web services via HTTP and SOAP.
DTS is now SQL Server Integration Services
The utility formerly known as Data Transformation Services (DTS) has been revamped and renamed to SQL Server 2005 Integration Services. The name change isn't just a marketing ploy; the new services don't share a single line of code with the former DTS utility, according to Donald Farmer, a group program manager in Microsoft's SQL server BI unit. Described as "a quantum leap to the enterprise class," Integration Services include a wealth of new features like "full blown ETL" that scale up for large enterprises, but also maintain the ease of use that scale down to small businesses.
Most of the new features in Integration Services aim to ease, as the name implies, integration issues -- those stemming from scattered development and management interfaces and disparate data sources. With Integration Services, for example, developers can build projects in one Visual Studio process, and all development languages are supported. DBAs can manage SQL Server and Integration Services from one place. Non-traditional data, like XML or Web services files can be treated like relational or flat files.
As with DTS 2000, packages and tasks remain the units of execution, but Integrations Services provide some simple "out-of-the-box" tasks -- like FTP and e-mail -- that had to be done manually in DTS, and some major tasks -- like the data transformations task -- that didn't quite exist.
The data transformation task is what allows for source-independent data mining and cleansing -- before the data gets to the data warehouse. Whereas the traditional method is to load data first, then mine it, Integration Services make parallel processing possible, with data pushed to multiple destinations. And the wizard that drives the task makes it all pretty easy. Farmer demonstrated how he could create a slowly changing dimension, run an ETL process and debug it within five minutes. Missing values or errors, common problems in data warehousing implementations, were easily identified in the data flow, and actions to fix them could have been taken while the data was still loading.
For a customer looking for real-time information, these new features allow for much faster decision making, a capability appealing enough to Barnes and Noble that the national book retailer is taking potentially risky path of using SQL Server 2005 beta in production. Erik Veerman, a consultant for Atlanta-based Intellinet, is working on the high profile project, which involves sifting through an estimated 2-3 TB of inventory data to track every single item in stock to optimize local store sales. Veerman is impressed with SQL Server 2005's flexibility to handle complicated scenarios that needed hand-coded workarounds in SQL Server 2000 and the code management integration that not only sped up the development process, but also made working with his five member team easier.
Though the new features add complexity, Integration Services remains true to its ease-of-use roots, with a highly visual GUI that utilizes ample color coding and a lot of wizards that keep coding minimal. The services can be run on lightweight hardware -- Farmer demonstrated the ETL process on his laptop -- and will be available with the beta 3 version of SQL Server 2005.

Elizabeth Lochley

|Babylon 5 character
|First appearance
|No Compromises
|Last appearance

|Portrayed by
|Tracy Scoggins
|Home planet
|Affiliated with
|Babylon 5, Earth Alliance
Elizabeth Lochley is a lead fictional character from the universe of the science fiction television series Babylon 5 and Crusade, played by Tracy Scoggins.
Elizabeth Lochley was a regular in the fifth and last season of Babylon 5, replacing the previous commander of the station, John Sheridan, and filling the role of the character Susan Ivanova.
Lochley featured prominently in the first volume of Babylon 5: The Lost Tales entitled "Voices in the Dark", released on DVD in July 2007.
Elizabeth Lochley is a forceful, no-nonsense military leader, she carries herself with a military bearing and in public appears to be the very model of a competent, decisive, and professional EarthForce officer. Although she is an attractive woman, she only shows the more feminine side of her personality in private, during her off-duty hours. Much of her personal drive and ambition comes from her troubled youth and young adulthood, and in private she is always willing to lend a helping hand or offer advice to those who are experiencing personal difficulties and problems. In addition to being married to Interstellar Alliance President John Sheridan for a brief period early in their military careers, she also has a passionate and sexually charged love affair with fellow EarthForce Captain Matthew Gideon, the commander of the Victory-Class starship Excalibur. Despite her hard-earned personal and professional success, however, she is occasionally still haunted by memories of her troubled early years.
Early life[edit]
Captain Lochley had a far from idyllic background, her father had secretly been a talented painter, but he felt under strong family compulsion to join EarthForce. His dislike of military service, coupled with his deep disappointment at being unable to pursue a career as an artist, led him to become an embittered alcoholic, his severe alcoholism led Elizabeth's mother to abandon her husband and daughter, and her father's inability to manage his life left Elizabeth with that responsibility. Elizabeth eventually sought an escape from this burden and her father's alcoholism by living with her carefree friend Zoe, they both quickly slipped into a life of drink and drugs, and their financial situation deteriorated to the point where they were living in a cheap, cockroach-infested apartment. Tragically, Zoe eventually overdosed on drugs and choked to death on her own vomit; her body was discovered by Elizabeth. Zoe's death/suicide profoundly shocked Elizabeth and she vowed to change her life, she eventually joined EarthForce and never consumed alcoholic beverages or other drugs from the moment she began her military career. In 2262, when she discovered that due to recent personal traumas Michael Garibaldi had suffered a relapse into alcoholism, she told him of her own previous battles, of how alcohol had given her, her father and Garibaldi an illusionary escape from their personal troubles, and that he was not alone,[1] she secretly contacted his former lover Lise Hampton-Edgars and convinced her to come to Babylon 5; Lochley hoped that Garibaldi would come to see that confiding in and receiving help from someone he loved was a far better and more practical solution to his woes than an alcohol-induced escapism.
Assignment to Babylon 5[edit]
At the end of Babylon 5's fourth season, Captain Sheridan is relieved of his command. In early 2262, shortly after the Earth Alliance Civil War, he requests Earth to assign Lochley as his replacement. Although she chose not to join Sheridan's rebellion against the corrupt government headed by Morgan Clark, he still trusted her judgment and ability.
The show later reveals that Sheridan and Lochley had been married briefly after graduating from EarthForce Academy. While the marriage didn't work out, they still have a mutual respect and appreciation, she proved to be a strong and capable leader, finding solutions to many crises and coping with the ones that had no solutions.
During the Brakiri Day of the Dead, in which the dead return for one night, the Brakiri on the station purchase a part of it for the night which includes Lochley's quarters, she is subsequently visited by Zoe, who confirms that she had in fact deliberately committed suicide by overdosing on drugs. Prior to this, nobody knew for sure if Zoe's death was an accidental overdose or a deliberate suicide.
The character was a last-minute substitution for Susan Ivanova. Lochley held the position of Commander of Babylon 5 longer than her two predecessors, Commander Jeffrey Sinclair (who served for approximately two years) and Captain John Sheridan (who served for three years); the series Crusade is set approximately five years after the events of the fifth season of Babylon 5 and show that she is still the Captain, meaning that she serves for at least six years. In addition, she states in Babylon 5: The Lost Tales (set ten years after being assigned to Babylon 5) that she has requested to remain in her position the whole time.
As noted above, Lochley is a semi-regular character in Crusade, where she has a romantic relationship with Matthew Gideon, the Captain of the Excalibur.
The Lost Tales[edit]
For the next chapter in the Babylon 5 story, Lochley is still in command of the station but now holds the rank of EarthForce Colonel, it is unknown whether she and Gideon are still intimate.
During her communication with President Sheridan, Lochley says of Dr Stephen Franklin "Oh, I thought you'd heard. Doctor Franklin went with G'Kar, exploring beyond the Rim." This was filmed in the last quarter of 2006, with actor Richard Biggs (Franklin) having died in 2004 and actor Andreas Katsulas (G'Kar) having died in February 2006, several months prior to principal photography on The Lost Tales. Actor Tracy Scoggins, who portrays Lochley, admitted on the DVD commentary to having difficulty to delivering the line, at one point nearly breaking down in tears; the line was a subtle eulogy to both actors.

WATCHING PAINT DRY: Ah, there's nothing like a finely manicured hand. But, the truth is, nail polish stinks and chips. And let's not even get started on polish remover's abrasive odor.

Building a Visualization of Transit System Data Using GTFS/
Yes, yet another Allan Walker and Anya post about mapping things :-). This one however is a precursor to some very fun JS API how to's, including how to animate the viz, coming soon featuring Chris DeMartini . Stay tuned!
Q:Um, what is GTFS?
A:The General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) defines a common format for public transportation schedules and associated geographic information. GTFS "feeds" allow public transit agencies to publish their transit data and developers to write applications that consume that data in an interoperable way.
Q:And I care because?
A:Use Tableau to build a map of transit data and incorporate it in a BI dashboard for analysis.What is the average route duration, fare, number of stops?How many are wheelchair accessible? Don't care about BART?Check out the list of all the agencies that use this format at http://www.gtfs-data-exchange.com/agencies .
Step 1:For the sake of this demo, visit the http://www.bart.gov/schedules/developers
Step 2:Download the GTFS zip file at http://www.bart.gov/schedules/developers/gtfs
Unpack the zip file
Visit the GTFS specification website https://developers.google.com/transit/gtfs/reference, noting the fields that occur in the tables.There is a ton of juicy bits in there.Have your way with them!
Fire up Tableau and begin joining the tables.
Start with the trips.txt
The joins are inner and magically delicious and just happened when you click a table to add it, but just in case here they are:
- trips.txt to calendar.txt on service_id
- trips.txt to calendar_dates.txt on service_id
- trips.txt to routes.txt on route_id
- routes.txt to agency.txt on agency_id
- routes.txt to fare_attributes.txt on agency_id
- trips.txt to stop_times.txt on trip_id
- stop_times.txt to stops.txt on stop_id
- Extract the data (Optional – filter for a specific day to speed things up a bit while you play with the data)
Let's create our first Calculated Field (CF), based on [Departure Time]:"CF-Time".First, change [Departure Time] to a string, and add the calculation:
RIGHT([Departure Time],11)
Next, let's create another Calculated Field to concatenate [Date] and our [CF -Time] field: "CF-DateTime".
Make sure that your [Stop Lat] and [Stop Lon] are dimensions.Drag [Stop Lon] onto the columns and [Stop Lat] onto the rows.You can now see all the stops (BART Stations) on the BART route.
Drag [Route Color] onto color – these are hex values that correspond to the color of the BART system map.(Note that some stops are serviced by more than one route, and only the top color in the sort order will appear.
You could go pie chart on the stops, but you would be harassed to no end by Andy Kriebel. If you need to convert Hex colors to RGB, use a website such as http://hex.colorrrs.com/, otherwise change the colors in Tableau to match the Hex code.They will now match the colors on the real BART Map.
Make sure the mark shape is a filled circle and add a black halo using the color card.This is just for formatting but it will make the stops look more like the ones on the original BART map when you are done.
Then Move the [CF – DateTime]to the Pages Shelf.Using the arrow to the right of it, choose Exact Date.This will speed things up, but also let you see what a day in the life of the BART looks like.
Check the Show History box, selecting "All" history and "Both" marks and trails.
Drag the Pages slider all the way to the right or just hit play and wait (or go get a beer while it plays). It's a total mess!
Drag [Trip ID] onto Level of Detail
Click "play" on the slider to see trains depart each station on the BART Routes!
Let's add some labels, and tidy up the stations.Add [Stop Lon] again to the Columns Shelf and create a dual-axis.
Change the mark type to circle for the second mark type.Remove the Color pill for [Route] and change the color of the circles to white if you want to look like the example.Add [Stop Name] to Label, allowing labels to overlap other marks
Make the Map Black, because Allan likes to get all Johnny Cash and makes everything a black.But really, just go to your Map menu, and select Map Options and play to your hearts content.
Now it's time to create a dashboard with our map.Add the map you just created to the dashboard and move the pages controls to the bottom.
Let's create a "timer" in a second worksheet.This will display the latest time being show in the Pages Shelf.In the new worksheet, Drag [CF-DateTime] to the Pages area and change to show Exact Date just like we did on the other worksheet.In "Show History", only show the last 1 mark, also check the "Fade" box.
Add [CF-DateTime] to the Text card, and change it to Exact Date.
We will use this sheet as the header of the dashboard.Click on the Text Card and add the text "BART Trains at: " before the field [CF-Datetime]Make the text big, and bold and in the color of your choice.
Add Sheet 2 to your dashboard at the top and hide the title.
Let's build some charts to complement the map.Sheet 3 is built using the set-up of circle mark type, history as trails,and a Count of the TripID by Route Long Name in the Rows:
The view above shows for each minute or two that the pages go through how many BART trains actually have a record.As the trains only have a record when they depart a station and it may take more than a minute or two to reach the next station, you may choose to create moving average of the count of the [Trip ID] to smooth out the lines a bit.
Add any new views to the dashboard, but remember for the animation on the Pages slider to work, they all need to have the [CF-DateTime] in the Pages shelf, and all need to be set to "Exact Time".Rearrange, and bend to your will.Go get another beer and show a friend how much you rock now that you can animate transit systems in Tableau, and mix BI, Data Viz and GIS together.
Optional Note:
Perhaps the fact that the lines overlap bothers you, as only the top line shows. If so, just add a bit of "jitter" to your lines to space them a bit apart.

Review/Giveaway – Dying Brand by Wendy Tyson Great Escapes Book Tour
Dying Brand
by Wendy Tyson
My turn today to tell you about this fabulous story!
Dying Brand (An Allison Campbell Mystery Book 3)
Publisher: Henery Press (May 5, 2015)
Genre: Mystery
Setting – Pennsylvania
Paperback: 262 pages
E-Book ASIN: B00THLRDPS
When image consultant Allison Campbell attends an award ceremony to honor a designer friend, she's thrust into a murder investigation. Only this time, it's personal.
A former boyfriend is dead, slain on the streets of Philadelphia. His widow claims he was meeting with Allison, yet Allison hadn't spoken to him in years. Nothing about his death—or life—makes sense. When compromising photos from their past arrive at Allison's office, they raise more questions than they answer.
Driven to find justice, Allison deconstructs the image her ex had created for himself, looking for clues about the man he'd become. As her hunt for the truth unveils secrets, Allison's past and present collide—with deadly results.
Dollycas's Thoughts
Wendy Tyson just keeps getting better and better! Dying Brand, the 3rd book is this series is the most compelling read of the 3 and the others were excellent.
Alison Campbell is an image consultant working side by side with her friend Vaughn. When a former boyfriend is found dead in one of the most dangerous places in Philadelphia Allison just knows there is more to the story. Especially when some racy photos from her past start arriving at her home and office and to her current boyfriend that also happens to be her ex-husband Jason. Things get dicey at home and Allison decides she has to find out what really happened and why.
Tyson takes us on a roller coaster ride as her protagonist puts herself and her friends in some very dangerous situations while they search out the truth. As always the characters are captivating and their lives are complex bringing to light a few subplots. In this installment we really get to know more about supporting cast and Allison too. I really appreciate the way they are all evolving and growing. Jason and Allison are working on their relationship and Mia and Vaughn's has hit rough patch. Jamie's life also takes an interesting turn. Allison's sister comes to town adding a whole new twist to the story.
There are many things happening all at once throughout the entire story but Tyson entwines them all together in a very cohesive and entertaining story.
While this book can be read as a stand alone I highly recommend reading all 3 to get the most enjoyment from the story. Start will Killer Image, then Deadly Assets, and then Dying Brand.
Wendy Tyson is an author, lawyer and former therapist whose background has inspired her mysteries and thrillers. Her latest novel, DEADLY ASSETS, the second in the Allison Campbell mystery series, was released on July 22. The first Campbell novel, KILLER IMAGE, was named a best mystery for book clubs in 2014 by Examiner.com and the third Campbell installment, DYING BRAND, was released on May 5. Wendy lives on a micro-farm near Philadelphia with her husband, three sons and two muses, dogs Molly and Driggs.

A Delivery for the Departed
|Starting Location
|Blue Mountain
|Handwritten Note (540, 810)
|44 950 3 330 1
Tier 1
Objective: Pick up the package
Interact with the package to pick it up.
Objective: Prevent the Jilted Bride from stealing the package
As soon as you pick up the package, a Jilted Bride will appear and dispute your right to it. Finish her off.
Objective: Protect the package and deliver it to the Franklin Mansion
The mansion is down here. While you may run in a straight line, I advice to use the road.
The reason to use the road is due to the "protect" part of the objective. The bride is not dead! Well, technically she is, but she has not been put to rest. She will appear at random intervals, snare you (slow you) and force you to fight her again. The road is (mostly) free of mobs. The 'straight line' option is not and if you haven't pulled other mobs as you ran past, you most likely will whenever she re-appearers.
After about 3-4 attacks you should be at the mansion. Simply run inside the hallway and the mission will complete.

This technical note describes how David Ford Consulting Engineers, Inc. (Ford Engineers) developed and demonstrated a method for estimating the benefit of the levee inspection program that the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) carries out on over 1,600 miles of levees in the Central Valley. Ford Engineers measured the benefit of DWR's levee inspection program by computing the reduction in flood risk attributable to levee flood fighting and maintenance activities—the activities that result directly from the inspection program.
Specifically, Ford Engineers assessed flood risk reduction as economic damage avoided and reduction in statistical lives lost (SLL) due to flood fighting at four sites and attributable to levee maintenance at five sites. In addition, at one of the sites for levee maintenance assessment, ecosystem benefit was assessed as the reduction in the acreage of giant garter snake habitat. This risk assessment employed available tools and information common to planning studies.
The study found that levee maintenance reduces expected annual damage, SLL, and expected annual loss of habitat acreage. Similarly, the study found that flood fighting reduces expected annual damage and SLL. The study developed and applied successfully a systematic, repeatable, and understandable procedure for assessing risk reduction attributable to flood fighting and levee maintenance activities, using expert opinion elicitation to provide information otherwise unattainable. This procedure can be applied to other facilities of the State Plan of Flood Control (SPFC) to assess the benefit of DWR programs.

Mensching: Re-signing V-Mart worse than expected
Sunday marked three years since Victor Martinez signed a $68 million deal to return as the Tigers' designated hitter for an additional four years. It was at the time risky, and today it is emblematic of a franchise forced to pay a multi-year penalty for its largesse.
Martinez was then a 35-year-old coming off arguably the best season of his career. He put up career bests in batting average (.335), on-base percentage (.409) and slugging average (.565), earning recognition from the baseball writers with a second-place finish in the American League MVP voting.
The Tigers bowed out of the playoffs in the first round that year, a season after they had maybe the most-deserving World Series roster since the Bless You Boys era Tigers. Miguel Cabrera had been battling injuries, and anyone being honest with themselves could see that the window on the organization's championship hopes was closing. Max Scherzer took an expensive deal with the Nationals that even the Tigers owner's deep pockets could not match. David Price and Rick Porcello were set to be free agents after 2015, leaving just two of the handful of aces — Justin Verlander and Anibal Sanchez — remaining.
Faced with the economic realities of expiring contracts and spiraling payrolls, owner Mike Ilitch and general manager Dave Dombrowski did what they thought they had to do: give the Tigers a chance to win it all in 2015 and pay the bill later.
The kind of deal the Tigers gave Martinez was bound to fail, and that's before even considering the roster implications that would force an oft-injured Cabrera to play daily at first base for the next four years.
Beginning with Martinez, the Tigers went on to make a slew of other short-sighted moves that would eventually result in Dombrowski's dismissal and his protege, Al Avila, tearing down the organization and confining it to a multi-year rebuild.
■ traded second baseman Devon Travis to the Blue Jays for Anthony Gose to shore up a weak defense;
■ traded shortstop Eugenio Suarez and pitcher Jonathon Crawford to the Reds for Alfredo Simon;
■ traded pitcher Robbie Ray — the key acquisition in the Doug Fister deal a year earlier — to the Diamondbacks in a three-team deal to acquire Shane Greene from the Yankees;
■ traded Rick Porcello to the Red Sox for outfielder Yoenis Cespedes.
Ignoring the last deal there, as both players were set to become free agents after 2015, the Tigers gave away two young middle infelders who would account for 6 WAR apiece (per Baseball Reference) over the coming years, along with a pitcher who has been worth 7.4 WAR for the Diamondbacks and made an All-Star appearance in 2016. None of the three has earned as much as $600,000 in a season for their efforts.
The kindest thing you could say about the ensuing years for Martinez is that in 2016 he hit 27 home runs and reminded you of the player he used to be.
A little more than two months after signing his deal, Martinez tore the medial meniscus in his left knee — the same knee that cost him the entire 2012 season with an ACL tear — while playing catch with his brother. A little less than three months after signing the deal, Martinez underwent surgery.
Martinez made it back to the team in time to take his place fourth in the lineup on Opening Day, but by May it was clear he wasn't the same and another lengthy DL stay was needed.
He came back a little better but finished the year with a .667 OPS and -1.6 WAR — making him less than average at hitting when his only job is to hit.
He had an OPS of .826 in 2016 and a WAR of 1.6.
And in 2017, Martinez again took a step back, with an OPS of .697 and a -0.6 WAR. Over the last three years, the Tigers have paid him $50 million and received a player worse than replacement level in return.
They sold off expiring contracts in 2015 while careening to 87 losses. They battled but narrowly missed the playoffs in 2016. They threw in the towel on an era in 2017 and barely avoided 100 losses for the worst finish since 2003.
Today we could talk about what the Tigers should do with Martinez next year, if he is even cleared by his doctor to play baseball professionally again after he's been diagnosed twice with an irregular heartbeat, which required surgery. But that question doesn't matter much, as far as the best outcome for the team goes.
We knew on that fateful day in 2014 that signing Martinez to a four-year deal would not turn out well by the end. We know now that it was a dark day that would lead to at least a half-decade lost, because the team looked at its roster and chose immediate gratification rather that what would lead to the most competitive team long term.
That is a lesson best remembered by all in the years to come.

Chromebooks and Google Apps
In 2016, Sunshine Harvester PS rolled out 1-1 devices for students in grades 1-6. Many schools are currently operating BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) programs. We saw these as problematic in our community where such a program leads to clear 'haves' and 'have nots'. Instead, we provide each student with a Chromebook.
Chromebooks are a new kind of computer where everything is done through the Internet. They have many advantages in educational settings and are becoming devices of choice in many schools.
At the same time, we also adopted Google Apps for Education as our main platform for online learning. We use Google Apps to create content, run online classrooms and provide feedback to students.
If you would like to know more, please explore some of the following links:

Will good fortune find these journeys?
Don't step on a crack or you'll break your mother's back.
Hold your breath when you pass a graveyard. Find a penny pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck.
All this is second nature for the residents of Fortune Falls, a town where superstitions are deadly serious. (Just ask the poor moms walking around in scary back braces.) That's why the "Lucky" kids are separated from the "Luckless" for their safety. But eleven-year-old Sadie doesn't want to spend the rest of her life on the fringes, not when her best friend, Cooper, is destined to spend his charmed existence with the other Luckies.
Raves & reviews:
Praise for Fortune Falls:
"An ironic twist with a touch of magical realism[.] Readers will root for Sadie and wish her the best…there are some nice moments, humor, and a satisfying ending." — Kirkus Reviews
"Rich language, well-paced plotting, and rounded characters create an enchanting, hard-to-leave world." — Booklist, starred review

8 Loves
I took up the challenge for compassionate reasons- I cycled between London and Brighton to raise funds and awareness for Compassion in World Farming – and for my health.
Prior to my decision to go vegan I ate both meat and dairy. I have always been concerned about animal welfare and the food industry, and always made an effort to buy local and organic.
I initially thought I would manage a couple of weeks before succumbing to the temptation of a poached egg! However, I found the switch in my diet and lifestyle amazingly easy. This was partly due to the fantastic support from my sister, who created a wonderful vegan hamper to help me on my way, and the huge online community that I could easily access via social media.
Nearly six months on, I am still vegan and feel completely committed to it. I have seen significant improvements in my health and well-being; for the first time in my adult life I am able to maintain a healthy weight, and I have much more energy. In fact, I now participate in a range of sports and will shortly be taking part in my first ever sprint triathlon!
Another surprise knock-on effect is how my vegan choice has altered the thinking of many of my work colleagues… One has become a pescatarian, and many others are reducing the amount of meat that they eat. My work lunches always seem to turn into tasting sessions, and I am constantly being asked to share my recipes!

He carefully studied our preferences and presented many options in the price range which made us feel comfortable to make a decision without the feeling that we might have lost a good opportunity. He showed us many good opportunities. All his expertise in negotiating with owners and other agents helped us to achieve a good deal and in the right time. He gave us advice about many things that we should pay attention to and we reached the best cost-benefit deal. Gus, thank you so much for all your patience, attention and consideration for my family."

- Annoying Pop-up's
- Shows commercial adverts
- Connects to the internet without permission
Best Online Deals
Best Online Deals is an all new adware-type program designed to show you unasked-for third-party ads of questionable reliability. Therefore, we advocate for its removal and we have taken steps to provide you a way to do it. In way, it is a strange program, not because it is adware and has been set to display commercial content, but because it belongs to the so-called Lyrics family. This family of adware used to be promoted as programs that displayed song lyrics while listening to music on Youtube.com. But it seems that their advertising strategy has shifted towards a more straightforward approach. Best Online Deals is advertised as a program that will help you save money by delivering you the best deals.
Of course, you probably did not want to install this program in the first place, but it somehow got on your computer anyway. We have received reports from users that this malicious program is distributed via freeware bundles. These software bundles usually consist of one program that acts as the façade and at least one malicious program that is hidden away. Such bundles are usually featured on borderline legitimate websites. However, to avoid legal complaints the owners must give the user the opportunity to expel unwanted programs from the installation wizard. But you must choose Custom over the Express installation settings in order to remove Best Online Deals. We would also like to give a dishonorable mention to SeeWords, Searchbetter, and Look Forword as they are clones of Best Online Deals that were released some time ago.
You should not waste your time with Best Online Deals, because it will not save you money while you shop online. It will show you advertisements regardless of whether you are shopping or not. It will not only display ads on online shopping websites, but on non-shopping-related websites as well. And the ads are just super annoying. According to its terms of service, Best Online Deals can display advertisements in the form of banners, pop–ups, pop-unders, coupons, price comparison, in-line text, and display ads. The ads come from third parties and the developer declares that it cannot be held responsible or liable for undesirable consequences that might occur as a result of using this program.
You might also be interested to know that Best Online Deals has also been set to gather certain information about you. According to this program's privacy policy it can collect information such as the country from which you access the Internet, the type of browser that you use and its version, the software installation date, the operating system that you use, your default search provider, status of the software installation, and so on. This information is collected to improve adware and present more personalized ads in an effort to boost advertising revenue.
No one can deny that Best Online Deals is just an adware program. Claims that it can save you money are only empty promotional promises that you should not pay any attention to. Besides, you probably never even wanted to install this program, since you probably got it by accident after installing a software bundle. Annoying and misleading commercial ads and information collection are things for which Best Online Deals is known for. If you want to remove this program, then consult the instructions featured at the bottom of this article.

In this blog, our clinical Lead, Dr David Griffiths, looks at what our regular user surveys can teach us.
I have been looking at the feedback from Consultant Connect's recent surveys of clinical users to see what we can learn from the reflections of service users. I was interested, and pleased, to see that much of the feedback chimed with my own feelings about the service.
There are several ways in which the ability for GPs and consultants to communicate in real-time adds significant value for patients and the system as a whole.
The majority of feedback suggested that the phone calls provide useful advice on how to investigate a patient's condition, including the expected progression; how to manage it, especially regarding the choice and dosing of medication; and how to navigate the system.
GPs valued the reassurance of immediate expert advice, appreciating the confidence boost even when it confirmed their initial thoughts. They also described how their patients were comforted by this aspect of the service and there were many references to the advantage of being able to get this type of advice while the patient was still in the consulting room i.e. in real-time. There were also examples of consultants providing longitudinal support via phone calls and emails.
There were many references to improved decision making, where the consultant's advice had changed the GP's mind about which choice to make. This is hardly surprising, after all that is exactly the reason why GPs use the service: to check their thinking with an expert in a specific field and then use their generalist skills to apply this to the patient's particular context. The speed with which this can occur and the fact that GP and consultant can discuss the context, which can often be lost in a letter, has obvious benefits for patients, of course.
The data on the service clearly shows that it reduces both referrals to outpatients and emergency admissions, with different rates across a variety of specialities and there were many comments confirming this. There were also examples where a GP felt that the advice received, while not avoiding referral, had improved the patient's journey: they had ended up in the right clinic or department first time and often much earlier than they otherwise would have done.
I particularly noted the example of a patient whose GP was planning for home management (as we are strongly encouraged to do, of course) only to be told that this would not be safe and that emergency admission was needed.
Clearly this is potentially of great benefit for the patient in question and means that quality care is being delivered but does it mean that consultant advice might make healthcare more expensive? I would argue the opposite. Ensuring that the right thing is done as soon as possible – thanks to streamlined access to an expert opinion – is almost certainly cheaper in the long run for the service as a whole.
One of the most frustrating forms of waste in any system is internally generated work. This might mean repeating a process (rework – this helpful definition from manufacturing if interested) or trying an alternative approach (repair) because the required outcome has not been reached. In general practice this might mean, for example, re-referring a patient to another service after an appointment which has not solved their problem. It might mean repeating tests which should never have been requested in the first place. It could even mean picking up the pieces for patients harmed by their care.
However, as the feedback demonstrates, when a GP has access to rapid and specific advice, this frustrating extra work is much less likely to be required. Given that healthcare interventions can harm as well as heal, this is an 'everyone wins' situation.

Small Mammal Trapping with Newcastleton Primary SchoolOver the last few weeks I've been visiting Newcastleton Primary School to lead some moorland activities linked to a fantastic moorland mural that we created last year with the help of local artist Anne Donald.
This week we were looking at the food chains of the moorland raptors and their favourite food - small mammals such as voles and mice. The pupils helped check some Longworth mammal traps and investigate how small mammals survive on the moor.
It has been a busy week of rehearsals for the next performance of the moorland musical 'You can't let nature run wild'. We'll be performing at the Watson Bird festival on Saturday 22nd at St John's Town of Dalry www.watsonbirds.org .. check it out.. great event, worth a visit. Our Moorland musical explores the difficult relationship between managed moor;ands and Hen Harriers through music and poetry (and puppets).. that has to be a world first!??? I'd like to thank an amazing group of people
Some photos from rehearsals (with thanks to Chris Jones). Impossible to get the whole group together at once, but here is some of the group braving the cold winds to have some photos taken up at MacDiarmid memorial on Langholm moor.

I love the design on Leslie's layout for the August 17th Mood Board Challenge:
I chose to keep two main elements: the large title, which I substituted with my journaling, and the photo framed by a large layer cluster, I kept pretty close with some of the embellies, too - the camera, the title on the left hand on the photo etc etc. My layout is featuring my DS11, having a fish spa in Crete this summer:
|Background paper: Kaiser Craft. Other Patterned papers: MME, Tags; Chic Tags. Alpha: American Craft. Flair, washi & arrow: Freckled Fawn. Resin fish, camera, fabric "flowers & buttions: unknown.
Now please head over to the The Studio Challenges blog to see the rest of the DT member's lifts and to play along!

Ecological Restoration in Shark Bay
Ecological restoration programs in Shark Bay began in 1990 with the reintroduction of greater stick-nest rats to Salutation Island, and the purchase of a large pastoral station on Peron Peninsula and subsequent destocking.
Shark Bay's inclusion on the World Heritage list in 1991 for its natural values, the gazettal of Francois National Park in 1993 and launch of Project Eden in 1995 followed. Much research was undertaken in the ensuing years to assist wildlife management in Shark Bay.
In 2016 there have been nine surveys on Bernier and Dorre islands since 2006, and 18 surveys of greater stick-nest rat on Salutation Island since they were reintroduced to the island in 1990. On Dirk Hartog Island six surveys were conducted between 2005 and 2011. Numerous wildlife surveys have also been conducted on Peron Peninsula since 1997.
Many of these programs were important to Project Eden and are now integral to the Dirk Hartog Island Return to 1616 ecological restoration project.

Who am I?
I would say a retired racing driver, but that's far too flash. I used to race karts as a kid. Big dream being, "some day i'll make it to Formula One". After the parents decided spending a relative fortune every weekend wasn't acceptable, that dream came to an end. The search for speed, that skill for knitting corners together still remains, and now that's what i look to get out of life.
So 'A Gravity Man' is...?
Well, its a username that i thought up to try and cover off my main hobbies. Cars and racing yes, but downhill / XC mountain biking and skiing/snowboarding. Essentially, using the contours of the mountains, preferably downhill to get that rush, that search for speed, that knitting corner stuff i mentioned up top.
Anyway it started off with Instagram, capturing the sports i love, to illustrate the speed, the adrenaline - whether you think it gives that sense is up to you, but that's the aim. Anyway Instagram came, and now i wanted to tell a deeper, richer story around my sports. Hence this site.
Peace out.
A bike with bang up-to-date geometry, capable of taking on anything that the UK can through at it but without losing the requirements to climb. That, was my request when Rutland Cycling asked me what I wanted.
I recently took part in my first road cycling event. But how did I get from doing circa 15 miles to 100? Aha, well the motivation came out of a race, my first Enduro to be precise…
Coed Y Brenin, the first official mountain bike trail centre in the UK and really where everything started. It's time to make your pilgrimage!
Once home to the creation of the bouncing bomb and now to lots of tourists, you could be forgiven to assuming it was full of walkers with no proper mountain biking in sight.
Welcome to the treasure trove that is Leeds Bike Park! Now let's grab the bikes and here's my three reasons why you need to get yourself across to Leeds Bike Park.
I've been wanting to try my hand at mountain bike racing for some time now. Like all experienced riders, after a while you feel comfortable riding pretty much everything at a pace you think is pretty quick. So it's only natural I guess to start thinking it's time to prove it in a race.
You know Llandegla has been built by riders, because the next 5-6km gives you more chances to get air than most! The B-Line being your best bet to beat your personal best. Starting out on a bridge, you ride down and to the left, now with the Welsh hills in the distance and in the foreground, table top after table top.
Its only 1.5 hours from Cambridge with a heavy right foot and serves up some create descents as well as climbs. I'm talking about Cannock Chase, the home of MTB'ing in the midlands.
As I look back over my Strava though, it looks like I've achieved it! More rides, more miles and more fun!
After ripping my shoe in half at a reasonable recent uplift day at Revolution Bike Park and after having the same pair of short for nearly 5 years with the accompany holes in the crotch that conveniently caught my saddle every time I rode, put simply it was time get a new pair of shoes and shorts.
I'm a mountain biker. Always have been, and at the point of writing this, think I (might) always will be. There's some doubt in there for sure and I can tell you why. Gravel Bikes.
So when GripGrab emailed me earlier in the summer and said they had some news around Base Layers my ears pricked. The Danish brand as you'll likely have seen on my channels have been sponsoring me for a while and I've learnt they don't make bad products.
Its all well and good having a playful trail bike that encourages you to push it more and more. It lures you into this sense of invincibility to huck and hustle every trail centre you visit. So rather than head to a typical trail bike destination to see its true potential, I called the new Stumpy's bluff, and took it straight to Antur Stiniog.
The more you pinned it, the more you jumped it, the harder you rode it, the better it got. This is what trail riding it all about.
Do you wear gloves when riding? After sifting through my now rather large collection of GripGrab gloves over the past year or so, has really opened my eyes up to why I like riding with gloves. However, is it me, or are more and more people riding with no gloves those days?
I'm not a fan of E-Bikes. Well, let me rephrase that. I wasn't a fan of E-Bikes, until life got in the way. Let me explain.
After chatting with the team at Rutland Cycles around my options, they kindly offered me a pair of Shimano M424 SPD to try. A pair of clipless pedals, but with a cage. So in my mind the perfect mix between flats and clipless. So what did I think?
My oldfriend, Gareth was talking of riding Llandegla. It's a great trail centre and the black run is a 9.5/10 trail. But I've been there loads of times, so I went onto Mountain Bike Wales to see what else there was and found Bwlch Nant yr Arian.
I'm always open to working with brands and speaking to like minded individuals.

Marla Rose, also known as the Vegan Feminist Agitator, is a writer, activist, event organizer and mother living in the Chicago area; she and her husband are excited to have recently re-launched Veganstreet.com after a long hiatus and their maiden Halloween post inspired us to share!
The idea behind Humane Halloween is this: To share graphics people could download and print out with a compassionate message for Halloween where a vegan candy can be attached, and also posters people can put on their doors or windows to designate their house as being one that gives out cruelty-free treats.
Rose says;
"I was inspired years ago by Global Exchange, which had a program called Reverse Trick-or-Treat, where kids could go door-to-door on Halloween and give a Fair Trade chocolate candy to the neighbors who give them treats. The candy was attached to an informational card that described the importance of supporting Fair Trade (as opposed to child slave trade) cocoa. My son and I have done Reverse Trick-or-Treat for years but last year, we decided to modify it to include a message of compassion to all animals so I had my handy-dandy in-house designer (a.k.a., my husband) come up with some images.
To me, I love the idea of Humane Halloween because not only are we spreading the message of compassionate living, but children can be the messengers, which is very moving and empowering. So often with vegan advocacy, we're asking people to do something they don't want to do: give up eating animals, stop going to the circus, wearing animal skins, etc. This is all very important, of course, but with Humane Halloween, we can spread the message in a fun and welcoming way that people enjoy. Who doesn't like a free treat? The idea, too, is that this has lots of room to grow into a movement. Participating families will also have their Humane Halloween signs, and in the future, I hope we'll have the technology so people can look for cruelty-free treats for Halloween in their neighborhoods. If we can encourage participation, this has real potential for reaching the masses. Also, keep in mind that you can leave these print out cards in cafés, bookstores and so on in the time before Halloween. Restaurants with vegan treats can also promote them with the Humane Halloween sign on a window. It's friendly, positive, fun outreach with a gentle message."
What could be an easier way to say "A Kind Family Lives Here" and inspire open, young, and compassionate minds?
You can download all these images (and more) on the Humane Halloween Page.

You gotta love Marla — she ALWAYS gets it right!
You know, one of the reasons I am too scared to go vegetarian or vegan for humane reasons is the f* ton of vegans who are so annoyingly fundamentalist that it gets hard for one to say "I think it is not ok, so I made this choice that is personal", and that keep saying how kind they are in a way that lets most non-vegans assume they are basically unkind and evil to the roots. I understand that, to non-vegans, we carnivores seem to be the root of all evil, but you know what? Maybe we're just ignorant in some parts of our lives. So instead of spreading the message that you can only be kind if you're vegan (sorry, I'm sure I have met very misanthropic vegans that are anything but kind when with people), you could just start spreading the message that not all vegans are fucked up, totally obsessed and fundamentalist hippies.
As much as I'd like to go vegetarian, I honestly don't want to be laughed at or taken as what a lot of vegans that I and some of my friends have met : total jerks.
Don't get me wrong, I do know this is not fact for all, but way too many vegans seem to think there is absolutely NO other topic to talk about WHATSOEVER, and way too many seem to think everyone else is plain evil. I have met many vegans, and only two were not constantly telling me that I am a complete dick without even f*cking knowing me.
It might sound weird to you, but it really is an issue I face.
Nevertheless, thanks for this nice idea. I would much rather have seen some ideas on recipes for animal-product free treats than flyers, but maybe I just came with the wrong expectations due to the thumbnail that led me here =)
