Hey, we were able to connect 9DOF razor IMU to the computer through Arduino UNO, without the FTDI breakout board. For all those who may want to see the connections, we followed the connections in this website: http://blog.mobileapes.com/2010/09/read-data-from-9dof-razor-imu-via.html. You can also read the instructions here: http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1270577613/10#10. Make sure that the wiring is not loose and you have "No Line Ending" option selected in the serial monitor. In case you are having gibberish on the monitor, try changing the baud rate.
We now are trying to upload AHRS code from pc to 9dof through arduino, but do not really know how to do it. Can anyone please help us out on that? Also, in the future we would want to communicate the data from 9dof to Arduino Uno. Does anyone know how to do that? We will really appreciate your help!
No public wish lists :(

We're here! I live in Ohio … and I'm already loving it. I know, you all very quickly tell me to wait until winter, and then when I say that I'm excited about that too, you say, the first one is fun but wait until the second. Well, in any case, this CA boy is excited to actually experience seasons … there are four, right?
I'm so thankful for your prayers for us over the past months. It has been, and still is, a whirlwind of transition, but this I know – Our God is Constant! It's always good, not always fun, but good to be reminded that this isn't our home. Not CA, not OH, not anywhere I can put my sight – for we live by faith and not by sight. Oh how I've cherished the reality of a home so much grander than anything this world can offer. But for now, we have an abode to lay our heads, and a really nice one (Thanks Duryea family for renting us yours!)
I know I don't know you all yet, nor do I even know all that I don't know about life and ministry at Leroy Chapel, but I promise you this — I will labor with all the grace God supplies to walk deeply and passionately with my God so that I can stoke the fire of your souls to greater worship and genuine transformation. I'm not going to call you to anything I'm unwilling to live out myself, I want transformation … in me, in my family, in this community, and in the world.
I so enjoyed preaching my last sermon at Northpoint (Follow Jesus – Hebrews 12:1-3) that I thought you all might like to hear it too. So, before jumping into a new series at Leroy, we'll begin where I always want to end – Running the race set before us because Jesus ran the race set before Him.
See you Sunday,
Pastor Mark

At eshots ("eshots," "us," "our," or
"we"), understand your privacy is important and we are committed to giving you
control over your personal information. This privacy policy (the "Privacy
Policy") explains how eshots collects and uses personal information about
you. We collect personal information
through several methods including: via
www.eshots.com or any web site or mobile app owned and/or operated by eshots, eshots'
epass platform, or eshots' API services (a "Site"); for an event
sponsored by one of our business customers (an "Event"); or received from
any of our business customers. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. Your
use of the Site and your opt-in indicates to eshots that you have read, consent
and agree to eshots' privacy practices, as outlined in this Privacy Policy, as
updated from time to time.
Please note that this Privacy Policy does not govern practices of third parties, such as our business customers, other partners, third party service providers, or advertisers. Any information you provide to a third party while utilizing their website or service will be governed by the third party's privacy policy and terms of use. Additionally, there may be circumstances in which the information we collect from you, including information you choose to give to us, may be subject to the privacy policies of our business customers, through which you reached us.
eshots collects and obtains your information in a few ways: there is information that you choose to give to us, information we obtain through your
use of our Site and other services, and information we obtain from third
parties on behalf of our business customers.
We may ask you to provide us with personal information, which is information that could reasonably be used to identify you personally (such as your name, address, e-mail address and telephone number) at a Site or at other times, such as if you send us a support or other request e-mail. eshots may also ask you to provide us with demographic information or information regarding your interests, hobbies, gender, age, marital status, level of education, salary or similar information. If you choose to register and provide us with personal information, your personal information may be associated with your event participation. We also collect information that you voluntarily provide through your use of the Site or other services – for instance, if you provide us with any photographs or feedback.
In addition to the above, when you visit or download information from a Site, our web servers may automatically collect website usage information. Website usage information is non-personal information – that is, information that does not by itself identify a specific person – that describes how our visitors use and navigate a Site. It can include the number and frequency of visitors to each web page and the length of their stays, browser type, referrer data that identifies the web page visited prior and subsequent to visiting the Site, and IP address (see below for more information on IP addresses). We may determine the applicable technology available in order to serve you the most appropriate version of a web page, e-mail or similar service.
We may collect information about your use of our Site and other online services over time. Finally, eshots may collect information from various third parties about you, such as any third-party service providers who we use to provide certain services to you.

A Site's pages or e-mail messages may contain a small graphic image called a web beacon (also known as a web bug or clear gif) that allows the party that set the web beacon to monitor and collect certain information about the viewer of the web page, web-based document or e-mail message, such as the type of browser requesting the web beacon, the IP address of the computer that the web beacon is sent to and the time the web beacon was viewed. Web beacons can be very small and invisible to the user, but, in general, any electronic image viewed as part of a web page or e-mail, including HTML based content, can act as a web beacon. eshots does not have control over web beacons used by third parties and does not have access to what information, if any, they may collect.
Our third-party service providers, business customers, advertisers and other companies may use cookies or other similar technologies to collect your information and track your behavior. These companies may collect information about your use of our Site or other services, and other online services over time and across different services. Additionally, some companies may use information collected to deliver targeted ads on behalf of us or other companies, including on other websites or online services. We are not responsible for the functioning of cookies or other technologies used and placed by third parties on your device.
We do not respond to "do not track" signals or similar mechanisms.
An IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer or network when you are on the internet. When you request pages from a Site, eshots' servers log your IP address. eshots may use IP addresses for a number of purposes, such as system administration, to report aggregate information to our business customers or to audit the use of a Site. eshots may associate your IP address with other personal information you provide – in such cases, this information would be regarded as personal data. eshots may also use IP addresses in cooperation with internet service providers or to respond to appropriate and enforceable law enforcement requests, or if necessary to comply with relevant laws or legal obligations, or to protect a Site or its users.
We may collect your precise,
real-time location using GPS, cell phone towers, Wi-Fi signals, and/or other
location-based technologies for purposes such as verifying your location and
delivering or restricting relevant content based on your location.
We may also use beacon technology, including Apple's iBeacon. Beacons are electronic devices that broadcast signals that can be received by mobile devices on which one of our or our business customers' apps is installed. If you have voluntarily installed one of our or our business customers' apps on your device, and if you have granted permission for the app to track your location, then beacons installed at an Event may send a signal to the app on your device about the precise, real-time location of the device. The app may use this information to deliver updates and promotions to you, at a time and place when the information is most relevant. For example, if you are at an auto show Event, your mobile device may receive a signal from a beacon that causes the app to notify you about a specific automobile manufacturer's upcoming vehicle presentation. As a convenience to you, receipt of the beacon signals and delivery of the update or promotion may occur even if you are not currently using the app. To make our services operate better, we may also collect other information based on beacon signals, for example, the strength of the signal between the beacon and your device, the duration your device is near the beacon, or the battery level of the beacon itself.

Jamstorming. Not only a new app, but a brand new way to create more effective and interactive workshops.
We launched a new version of Jamstorming this month. We start our first workshops with new customers in the end of june and we are very excited about it.
Jamstorming is a projet started 1 year ago with David Verbustel and François Lemmens. Our goal is simple: to allow you to create more effective, playful and interactive workshops.
Let's face it, we all participated quite often to too long workshops where the feedback moments between groups of participants were boring and not really engaging. Each group had to come on stage to present his proposition, it took time, attendees stayed passive, waiting for their turn to present their own. There were almost no interactivity and in the end of the day we had thousand of post-its to put in a presentation, trying to remember what was being said.
There is a better way to do it.

Nickel Creek Take a Break
Published: 2006-08-29

Acoustic bluegrass trio Nickel Creek has decided to go on indefinite hiatus following their spring tour in 2007.
According to a letter to their fans on the band's official website, "After seven years of extensive touring in support of three records (seventeen years as a band), we've decided to take a break of indefinite length at the end of 2007 to preserve the environment we've sought so hard to create and to pursue other interests. It has been a pleasure to write, record, and perform for you through the years and we'd like to heartily thank you for your invaluable contribution to our musical lives."
All three members are getting set to go out on their own, Chris Thile is already touring with his solo group How to Grow a Band, who according to Billboard has a record,
How to Grow a Woman From the Ground
coming out later this year. Sara Watkins plans to release a self-produced solo album in the next six months and Sean Watkins will focus on movie scoring.
In spite of the split, the band seems to have left on an amicable basis and if their split goes the way of many other bands in the past, you never know when they might return.

Coral study provides clues to reef damage in Madagascar
(Phys.org)—A group of international researchers, including one from UWA Oceans Institute, has used coral sampling to assess the impact of river run-offs in a bay in north-eastern Madagascar.
The research was carried out in a bay favoured by whales to rear their calves, in effect, making it a 'whale kindergarten'.
"The aim of the study was to test if we can use coral cores to assess the impact of various small mountain rivers on adjacent coral reefs in Antongil Bay, the largest bay on the island of Madagascar in the west Indian Ocean," said Dr Jens Zinke, of UWA Oceans Institute.
"The bay is significant because every year up to 300 humpback whales come into this bay between June to October to raise their young and protect them from predators."
As part of the study, researchers drilled coral samples from the reef in the bay. By exposing the coral samples to various lights, luminescent bands - in effect, similar to the growth rings of a tree - provided a long-term record of river run-off reaching the coral reefs in Madagascar.
"For instance, the corals closest to the river plume at Nosy Mangabe island reserve showed clear signs of disease and distorted growth patterns," Dr Zinke said.
"Nevertheless, these reefs were adapted to sediment discharge for hundreds of years and survived several cyclone induced mass erosion events in the past."
The research findings will be used to help guide conservation efforts on the island and the management of its marine parks.
"With these results, we can inform conservation managers on the best choice of marine parks and the likelihood of adverse impacts on coral reefs and fisheries caused by high levels of sedimentation in reefs outside the bay near highly deforested plains," Dr Zinke said.
The study, Spatial linkages between coral proxies of terrestrial run-off across a large embayment in Madagascar, is published in the journal Biogeosciences.

In yesterday's State of the Atmosphere I made a comment about how horrible the global models have been recently. Last night, the GFS took the cake, producing one of the greatest forecast flips any of us ever remember seeing.
Its 00z run produced what would be a record-setting snowfall for Denver later this week with >50" of snow for the southeast suburbs assuming 10:1 ratios. Six hours later the same model cut totals by nearly 100% to ~0.5" at DIA. By 18z today it was all but dry for the entire eastern part of the state. Did we believe 50"? No, nor do we necessarily buy its 0.5" solution – the point is, what a mess.
While the GFS is the biggest mess, no doubt, other models are struggling as well. In yesterday's update we discussed how the GEM wasn't really biting and that we were ignoring it for the the time being. Today it's one of the wetter models for northern Colorado.
The EURO has been a bit more stable but varies in which part of the state it favors. Currently it's favoring southern Colorado (generally south of the Palmer Ridge), cutting Denver's QPF forecast by nearly 75% since last night's run. The difference being between it and the GFS, is that overall these are smaller shifts, not just WET / DRY for all of eastern Colorado. The EURO still slams a good portion of the state.
Track and speed remain keys
We'll continue to ignore possible snowfall accumulation details for the time being outside of noting that a significant snow is certainly on the table somewhere across the Front Range and eastern Colorado.
The big difference between the models and their run-to-run inconsistencies revolve around how they are handling the upper level feature we discussed yesterday. Both track and speed will be key in a) who gets heavy precip/snow, and b) how much and how prolonged the event is.
We expect better agreement to emerge tonight as our main feature comes onshore in the northwest US. Until then there's a lot of different scenarios still on the plate.
Take a look at last night's 'epic' GFS 00z run at 500mb (top) compared to its 12z run this morning (below). Notice the nicely circular, textbook cutoff at 00z gets strung out by 12z, with some energy dropping very far south, and another closed low trying to develop to the east of Colorado.
So while the 06/12z GFS completely lost our storm, and the 18z NAM is DRY into Friday, and the EURO seems to be favoring a more southerly solution... there are still some models showing a more significant look for northeast Colorado.
The operational Canadian model for example looks much more like the 00z GFS did, and after being one of the driest models on Sunday is now one of the wetter models for northern Colorado.
Assuming for a moment the recent GFS runs are wrong, and we do get a strong closed low to move through the Four Corners region Thursday – the next question is what happens next. Some models try and take the upper level feature south at this point, while others slowly progress the low east along the Colorado / New Mexico line. The latter would mean we see rain and snow continue into the weekend, with greater probabilities of seeing a significant event for much of eastern Colorado.
Keeping score
For now it makes little sense to model hug too closely since as you can see they-have-no-clue. While we sit back and anxiously await tonight's runs... here's more or less where we stand ("in short"):
- GFS. Throwing it out for the time being given the absolute train wreck it's been on over the last 24 hours. That said, the big issue with the GFS is that it's splitting the energy at 500mb – if that's a trend we start to see in other models tonight, this entire thing goes out the window.
- ECMWF. Today's EURO solution is the "bust" I'm okay with. It largely misses Denver (we'll still get some rain and snow) but hammers southern Colorado where we need moisture the most. Also worth noting, its ensembles are actually more bullish for Denver today, even as its deterministic slashed QPF. Unfortunately the EURO has struggled quite a bit this season.. so maybe this is its chance?
- Canadian. Late to the party, but I'll take it. Good precip event for northern Colorado, and an INSANE snowfall gradiant across the northern Front Range (2" DIA to >30" Boulder). Things I don't like about it include the fact it was way late to the party, and its ensembles continue to be less impressive, though look MUCH better than yesterday.
- UKMET. May be leading the way right now for a big time event across eastern Colorado. Personally I think it runs a bit bullish, but nice offset to what the GFS and NAM are doing, and should lead to pause before declaring this storm a 'bust'.
- NAM. Will pretend it didn't run today and see how it looks tonight. Its 18z run would mean virtually no precip for Denver through the end of its run which takes us into Friday night. Yikes!
- Ensembles. Changes in the ensemble packages, by and large, have been less dramatic (as they should be), so for now we're continuing to put more weight there than any individual run. For example, the GFS ensembles still look much more reasonable today with handling the UL low than its operational runs.
- Lastly, weeding through the mess, it would seem like a) confidence is down from yesterday in this thing producing "the big one" -- but certainly not off the table. Also very little in the way of trends right now, but if we were to believe the EURO for the moment (it's been the least moody) the idea would be that southern Colorado may end up being favored. Lastly, at the rate we're going everything could look exactly the converse in 8 hours.
Clearly there's a lot still to be resolved. As mentioned above, we're hoping for better consistency and should be able to start to narrow in on some solutions after tonight's model runs as our UL low comes onshore. For what it's worth, there's been more stability around each model's ensemble runs, which should suggest we may see solutions converge somewhat tonight as well.
We'll plan to have another update out tomorrow but probably hold off on doing one tonight and just let things sit for a bit. If you don't already, definitely follow us on Twitter where we'll likely be posting some updates this evening. Tomorrow we'll get things all squared away and just what kind of end to the week we're going to have.
If the week ends sunny and dry I'll be glad we didn't jump on the record-snow bandwagon I saw around town last night, as fun as it looked.

These "Tears" were fun to applique. Lots of nice, smooth curves and only a single, not too pointy, point. I finished this block while chatting up a storm at the project day last Friday. It is always nice to have some handwork to do in a group setting.
I never did get my sewing machine out of its carrier on Friday since I spent the rest of the afternoon pinning the halves of the Grand Illusion sashing together. If you remember, Clue 3 took me a really long time to complete. I also had neglected to iron about three quarters of the many many required units, so I had to do that first before I could start pinning. I used Sheila's vintage Shark brand iron and was it ever nice and hot!
Happy quilting!

Some advice on deciding to do PhD:
One thing I make sure to tell my students (and this is something I told myself before accepting to go to Texas for a Ph.D.) is that it is also completely OK to change your mind. Deciding to pursue a Ph.D. is not a prison sentence, and if they realize that they do not enjoy math as much as they thought, or that they don't really want to spend so much time learning more mathematics, then there is no reason to stay.
Of course, other things besides not enjoying learning math can happen, like not passing quals or prelims or whatever they're called these days. It is my opinion that people who truly want to stay in graduate school find a way to do so. I have also had friends who have left for a few years, come back, and are very successful. Other friends have switched from one institution to another that was a better fit. This reminds me of a talk Kathryn Leonard gave at MathFest this past August, "I failed, and no one died". In it, she explains how we need to teach our students (and learn for ourselves) to distinguish between failure and Failure. A Failure is when an airplane pilot fails to land his airplane or a surgeon botches a procedure. These are bad places to fail at what you're doing. In mathematics, we are constantly faced with little-f-failure. We are working on a research problem that we can't prove, or we don't pass our qual, or we get a bad grade on our Real Analysis midterm. These are not huge problems, and no one is going to die. They are also indicative that you need to change something that you're doing. Either try a new approach to your research problem, figure out how to study for your qual, find a study group for your next midterm. These failures could also indicate other issues, like maybe your problem is much more difficult than you thought (maybe you need to assume GRH!) , and in the other two situations, maybe you realize that you don't care enough to struggle. This is important, because math is difficult, and if you don't enjoy it then it is very hard to get through some of these obstacles. This goes for many difficult occupations, by the way.
Take a look!

13 Reasons Why
By Jay Asher
Penguin Books
Rating: ***
You can't stop the future.
You can't rewind the past.
The only way to learn the secret . . . is to press play.
Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a strange package with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers several cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker–his classmate and crush–who committed suicide two weeks earlier. Hannah's voice tells him that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out why.
Clay spends the night crisscrossing his town with Hannah as his guide. He becomes a firsthand witness to Hannah's pain, and as he follows Hannah's recorded words throughout his town, what he discovers changes his life forever.
Possibly a strange "holiday read" but 13 Reasons Why was a fast paced and intriguing one. Slightly depressing and melancholy but also a modern young adult mystery.
Clay gets a strange package containing tapes, he borrows a tape recorder to listen to them. It's the voice of Hannah, the girl from school who recently killed herself. These tapes reveal the 13 people, the 13 reasons why she killed herself. Anyone listening is a reason… so Clay wonders what he had done to hurt or upset Hannah.
The book is split up into Clay's thoughts and movements and then Hannah's voice on the tape. It did take me a while to get into the rhythm of reading it like that but once I did I flew through the book. I wanted to know why Clay was listening to the tapes, what number he was, who else was on the tapes, and the reasons why.
This book gives you a real sense of why some people can break down, how things of the smallest or biggest quality can slowly eat away at a person because everything builds up inside of them. This book is about how you should think about your actions before hurting someone really badly. I have to admit some of her reasons did seem petty, at no point during the tapes would I have said she was depressed enough to kill herself, to get revenge yes but not suicide. I have read a few reviews about this book saying it glamorises suicide, I don't think it does, It is fiction and in reality no one really knows what's going through another persons mind. So her reasons might seem petty to others but for Hannah those reasons hurt her deeply and she got into a hole she couldn't escape from.
This book was very emotional and raw and intense, it was definitely a page turner and I read in a one afternoon. This is a strange book to review because as much as I enjoyed reading it at the time if I sit and think about it the subject and way it was written does annoy me. It seems light-hearted for the subject matter seeing as I read it in a few hours. It wasn't a struggle to read. But it was different, I've not read anything like this before or in this style which I appreciated.
How did you feel about 13 Reasons Why? I think it's one of those "marmite" books you will either love it or hate it. Has anyone watched the Netflix show? I haven't and I don't think I want to. Let me know your thoughts, I would love to chat. Katie x

I was a dormant mountaineer for eight long months. My latest communions with the mountains were through trail running. It was only on November 19-20 where I retrieved my backpacking stuff and joined the Visit Davao Fun Sale (VDFS) group in Mt. Hamiguitan for an assessment climb. Over the weekend I rediscovered the mountain which I considered the most unique among all the mountains I climbed throughout my mountaineering years.
We are a team of veteran mountaineers headed by Sir Benjie Lizada, the Team Leader who happens to be the Executive Committee Chairperson of VDFS. I have been joining this group since February last year and with them I found a new company that resembles with my passion and ardour of the outdoors. Sir Benjie has also been looking at Davao Oriental as another destination to be included in next year's version of VDFS for selling guided tours over the eastern parts of region XI.
We took the less-visited Osmeña trail in Governor Generoso, the one they fondly called "ligas-paka" trail because of the presence of some cliff portions and face-the-wall assault. For the inexperienced trekkers the trail could be very dangerous. From the trailhead we trekked approximately 12 kilometers starting from Purok 7 up to the Twin Falls, chasing the pristine Dumago-ok River where a lot of rock trails were traversed. Local tourism staff in GovGen even joked to me that their route is the "boulder face" of Mt. Hamiguitan.
Campsite 3 in the bonsai field is the convergence campsites for all trekkers be it from San Isidro or Governor Generoso. Some 2 hours hike from Purok 7 is the campsite 2, a usual overnight stopovers for GovGen trekkers. In our case we directly proceeded to camp 3 in day 1, but given with the difficulty of the trail our sweeper arrived in camp 3 around 11:30 in the evening. There were even two members of the team who were left in between camp 2 and Dumago-ok waterfalls which was accompanied by Tourism Officer Joey Gamao. They continued the hike the following day while we were already on our way down.
The two waterfalls along the trail which were vertically laid out into the rock walls of the mountain were incredible. The first one was part of the Dumago-ok river system and the other one, the more popular Twin Falls, have maintained its radiance when I first saw it in 2008. The verdant setting of the environment has truly complemented with these water bodies that become Mt. Hamiguitan's key attractions.
In a short span I also spotted several interesting flora and fauna in Mt. Hamiguitan. This mountain is considered to be a habitat of many life forms, some even endemic only in the area. Most notable of which are the tropical pitcher plants and Lepidoptera.
I was the first to arrive in the bonsai field and although it was my second time in the mountain I was still amazed by its breath-taking scenery. As I observed, the bonsais were filled with life, not just ordinary life but life that dictates enchantment. I heard them whispering enthusiasm, conversing to me of gentle persuasions that they would continue living there for the rest of eternity as long as they would be protected and loved. Each and every bonsai that I saw had satisfied my urge to nature and everything else in the outdoors.
As a UNESCO World Heritage site, Mt. Hamiguitan deserves to be given full attention and respect. No other places in the country that has the same attributes like this mountain and just like any other wonderful natural heritage sites Mt. Hamiguitan should be preserved.
At this point I would like to thank VDFS through Sir Benjie for inviting me to that climb. Gratitude is also due to the Local Government of San Isidro for assisting us, especially to Tourism Officer Joey and staff Clinton. The porters in Osmeña are good enough in accommodating guests and they have been praying for the reopening of the GovGen trail sooner than later as it would be an income booster for the community.

COMSTOCK PARK -- When West Michigan Whitecaps closer Bruce Rondon enters a game in the late innings, catcher Rob Brantly knows opposing hitters are in trouble.
The young and stocky Venezuelan doesn't hold anything back -- and delivers a potent fastball that has been regularly clocked in the low to mid 90s.
"He brings a lot of heat," Brantly said. "I feel it in my hand every time he throws it."
Rondon, with seven saves in eight tries, has been named to the Midwest League All-Star team.
Rondon, Brantly and second baseman Hernan Perez were voted onto the Eastern Division's roster by field managers from around the league.
The trio will represent the Whitecaps at the MWL All-Star Game on June 21 at Modern Woodmen Park in Davenport, Iowa, the home of the Western Division's Quad Cities Bandits.
"I feel very happy because I did not expect to go to the all-star game," said Rondon, who is 2-1 with a 2.18 ERA in 20 appearances. He has struck out 33 in 20 2/3 innings, and has allowed only five hits and five runs.
"I feel confident and I feel good. I have been working hard to get better."
The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Rondon is overpowering at times, but he also has the tendency to be erratic and get himself into sticky situations. He averages one walk per inning.
Whitecaps manager Ernie Young said it is all a part of the learning process for Rondon, who was signed by Detroit as a non-drafted free agent in 2007.
"Sometimes he can be effectively wild, but the bottom line is he is still 20 years old, so he is still learning how to pitch," Young said. "We are grooming him to be a late-inning pitcher, and you are going to have ups and downs."
Rondon, Detroit's No. 13 rated prospect, was the Tigers' Gulf Coast League Player of the Year last season. He posted an 0.70 ERA and had a league-high 15 saves.
He was promoted to Lakeland late in the season and appeared in four games.
"He gets fired up every once in a while, but he is pretty good at maintaining his emotions," Brantly said. "He makes adjustments on his own, and he's a pretty mature pitcher. He deserves to be on this all-star team, and I'm glad he's coming with us."
Perez and Brantly who played in West Michigan last season, are first time all-stars and are among the top 10 hitters in the league.
Perez leads the Whitecaps in batting average (.318), hits (64), runs scored (31) and doubles (12).
"I'm excited," Perez said. "I feel really good because I was working hard to be there. I feel a lot better this year hitting the ball, and I'm settling on better pitches this year and trying to get on base."
Brantly, a superb defensive catcher, is batting .308 and is tied for the team lead with 30 RBIs.
"You try to take things day by day and do the best you can," Brantly said. "I'm just honored to be selected as a part of this all-star team."
One notable all-star snub from the Whitecaps was outfielder Luis Castillo, who is among the league's top 10 in batting (.318) and hits (57).

Anyone Out There Confused About How to Read a Food Label?
There's so much confusion and misinformation about how to read a food label. I wish I could say the confusion created by food companies is unintentional, but I don't believe that. For the processed food companies, profit is the name of the game…
The simple fact is that the front of a package is for advertising. It's marketing pure and simple, and what most people don't realize is that it doesn't have to be specific or really even be the truth. The front of the package or box can scream the buzz word of the day or the popular vitamin du jour. Its purpose is to get you to reach for that particular box or bag, thinking you are making a healthy choice, and put it in your shopping cart.
The takeaway from this should be if a package screams some benefit on the front, check very carefully on the back of the package to see what's really inside. If something is screaming a currently popular benefit on the front, I always read the labels on the back of the package very carefully. Often, I end up putting it back on the shelf.
When you turn over that bag or box, the label on the back is where you find the truth about what's inside that package…or as close to the truth as you can get. But how do you interpret that label; how do you know what you're buying when often times, you can't even pronounce the ingredients?
The first rule is the fewer ingredients the better. Look for no more than 5 ingredients in any food product you buy. This automatically puts you in a position to buy and consume less processed food, and that's a good thing!
As far as sugar and trans fat being called out on the label, did you know that if there is less than .5 grams of either sugar or trans fat per serving, they are allowed to say zero sugar or zero trans fat even though it's in there!? This leads us to check out the serving size. Too often the serving size will be some ridiculously small amount so that the less desirable ingredients will look more benign than they actually are. If you will really eat 2 servings of a food claiming to contain zero sugar or trans fat, but it's there in small quantity, you're ingesting sugar and/or trans fat! Buyer beware!!
Next, move on to the list of ingredients to check for sugar and trans fats. The trans fats are actually easier to spot than the sugar (which has over 50 different names!). Look for hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oil of some sort…usually canola oil because it's cheap.
This just scratches the surface of how to read a food label and what to watch out for, but it's a good start.
Next time you're in the grocery store, do yourself a huge favor… ignore the front of the package. Turn it over and read the label to find out what's really inside the package you're holding.

So, you're ready to upgrade your heating and cooling system or perhaps you're preparing to install your very first HVAC system in your home. Like many homeowners, you've called a few contractors in for estimates so you can compare pricing and packages. But have you checked beyond the price quote to make sure they are trustworthy?
As many New Jersey homeowners have discovered over the past couple of years, not all HVAC contractors are what they seem on the surface—much to the consumers' dismay. Performing unnecessary work and driving up the cost of the job is one area to look out for. But how can consumers protect their homes and their wallets against unscrupulous contractors? Here are some tips for consumers anywhere and specifically for those in New Jersey, where we conduct business.
- Ask for references. Of course, any contractor will give you the best of the best from recent jobs but this will give you an opportunity to ask past customers pointed questions about the projects and garner different feedback. If the contractor balks when asked for references, or has no testimonials on the company website, walk away.
- Do an online search for the companies you're interviewing. There are plenty of websites where consumers can submit reviews and others that are more industry-oriented that may have valuable information to consider.
- Check with the Better Business Bureau. Although not all companies are members, it only takes a minute and you might uncover unwelcome reviews and a history of complaints … or an A or A+ rating! Go to www.bbb.org for information and to find your local chapter.
- Contact the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs. This agency regulates contractors and serves as an important watchdog for consumers. Make sure the companies you plan to do business with do not have complaints lodged against them. You can check online and save yourself a lot of heartache in the process.
- Call Bloomfield Cooling, Heating & Electric. We take every project as seriously as if it were being installed in our own homes.
- Bloomfield Cooling, Heating & Electric has been voted "Best HVAC Contractor" three years in a row in Suburban Essex magazine's annual Readers' Choice Awards.
- Our company has also received the President's Award from Carrier (we are a Carrier authorized factory dealer); winners of this industry honor are noted for leadership, management, customer satisfaction, expertise, business growth and operational excellence.
- We carry an "A" rating from customers on Angie's List and we're now in our 11th year as an Angie's List Super Service Award provider.
Need a quote on a new HVAC system? Want to find out more about our maintenance plans that keep your unit running at peak performance?

One of the most important factors in fantasy player acquisition is schedule strength.
In an effort to assist fantasy managers in their fantasy playoff team building efforts, I have put together fantasy playoff schedule strength charts that measure matchup strength on a 1-100 scale, with 100 being most favorable.
The scale takes into account a number of metric elements, including many of the blocking elements detailed in my fantasy blocking review and preview articles, however the overarching goal of the system is measure the impact matchups will have on fantasy performance.
Click here if your league's playoffs run from Weeks 14-16, or read on if your league's playoffs run from Weeks 14-17.
For example, the running back matchup grades are largely based on a number of advanced rushing defense metrics, but other factors can override those statistics. Some of Arizona's rush defense metrics are fairly strong this year, but the Cardinals offense has been so inept for much of the season that Arizona's opponents have been able to lean on the ground game early and often. It's why the Cardinals rank last in running back fantasy points allowed per game and why this system will view them as a favorable rush defense matchup in spite of their solid advanced rushing defense metrics.
The system also gives bonuses for facing a large volume of opponents with strong offenses, as this increases the penchant for high-scoring games that offer more fantasy scoring opportunities (except on D/ST, where the bonus is given for facing a large number of opponents with weak offenses).
This week's review covers schedule strength for the fantasy playoffs. This article includes charts for leagues that use Weeks 14-17 for their playoff contests, while another article offers charts for the leagues that use Weeks 14-16 to complete their fantasy postseason matchups.
In determining which players are going to appear on this list, the overriding mindset will be to include the players who are most likely to play the bulk of a team's games during the entire time frame.
Now that we have the preliminaries out of the way, let's take a look at the rest of season schedule strength charts.

Mobile web traffic now accounts for nearly 1% of all Internet traffic and almost 7% in the U.S. alone. That's a serious amount of pinching and dragging!
Internet viewers are on the move and do much of their surfing and catching up during commutes and downtime. A good portion of this time is spent on mobile e-mail, Facebook and twitter where links-a-plenty are shared endlessly. This means the majority of discovered content is likely consumed in this way and not necessarily from a desktop. What's usually being shared are typically photos, videos and blog articles, most of which already have mobile optimized viewing options. If you don't have a mobile option for your viewers, its unlikely they'll flag your site to view later on their desktop. It's clear we're losing traffic this way and so are our clients.

Why use GetMoreOffers.com to buy a home?
Buyers and sellers throughout Florida trust GetMoreOffers® and it's affiliated agents. We make searching for a house in Florida speedy and trouble-free on our popular website GetMoreOffers.com. Our site contains homes for sale by owner and MLS listed properties from many areas of Florida.
Our agents pay attention to every detail about your significant purchase. The type of contract that you use to make an offer is important. Our agents will advise you on whether an "As-Is" contract is better way to make an offer versus a contract with repair limits. There is a huge difference. For example, an "As-Is" contract allows a buyer to escape the contract for any reason once inspected. Where a contract calls for repair limits of 1.5% of the sales price to discuss and negotiate inspection related "warranted" repair items. This type of contract is not as easy to escape. The term "warranted" opens the door for possible conversations that may not be in the best interest of a buyer. Your agent can best determine which type of contract best suits your needs.
Our number one priority is your purchase and getting the most for your money. Each agent that works with GetMoreOffers® has buyer skills that are exceptional, has demonstrated their professionalism through work ethic, real estate contract knowledge and excellent local knowledge.

In this modernized version of the Conan Doyle characters, using his detective plots, Sherlock Holmes lives in early 21st century London and acts more cocky towards Scotland Yard's detective inspector Lestrade because he's actually less confident. Doctor Watson is now a fairly young veteran of the Afghan war, less adoring and more active. Written by KGF Vissers

Pete Morton 28 April 2017
Pete gave us two great sets, opening with 'Seven Billion Eccentrics' and taking us through a range of his self-penned numbers, from the personal ('Land of Time' for his son, 'The Love of You'), and the comic ('Related to You', inspired by an orangutan in Twycross Zoo) to the moving 'Shores of Italy' - a truly great song - and including his 'anthem,' 'Another Train', encoring with 'Supermarket Frap', a terrific ending!
As ever, Pete was immediately engaging: amusing and reflective, interacting with his audience - a great performer who throughly deserves his place on the folk scene.

Words by Emma Do
Make sure to look up next time you pop into GPO. They have once again paired up with Laura Laine, this time draping their ceiling in the illustrator's trademark whimsy to kick off the Christmas festivities.
We wonder whether these beautiful cut outs will be up for grabs once the Christmas cheer is over. Here's hoping GPO adopt the same 'go for it' attitude as cinemas do towards customers taking home life size cardboard cutouts of actors after the movie's screening period ends (not speaking from experience or anything…).

If you are like the owners of the charming villa La Dacha in the Falaise des Oiseaux area of St. Martin, you are interested in a visit because of the unique atmosphere of the island. With a Dutch and a French side, the owners found that they loved its feel – especially the French side.
Visiting the island for more than two decades, they say they appreciate it because the French side has "all the trappings of South of France with wonderful Caribbean flavor." If you have been island hopping in search of that same balance "great food, French flair, beautiful beaches and vibrant nature", St. Martin, and particularly villa La Dacha are for you.
Designed in 1998 by Mauricio Lanari, the villa takes its cues from Mediterranean villas. Featuring a long verandah along the front of the house, it provides outdoor living spaces ideal to all hours, weather and moments. "You can be outdoors twenty fours a day and not be exposed to the elements."
This is important because the property is actually along the northern coast of the Terres Basses area of the island. This means you get to savor amazing views across the water as well as guaranteed sunsets each evening. With a premium placed on outdoor living, this makes the villa an amazing find for those who have done their homework or know of the joys of St. Martin's weather and scenery.
A massive pool terrace runs along the edge of the verandah, leading the eye into the views. Furnished with large sun beds and lounging areas, it provides an ideal space for stargazing in addition to swimming.
The interiors are the work of Geoffrey Bradfield, a world-renown designer from New York City. Having done work all over the world he was able to create a remarkably unique and global setting throughout. Mosaic tile floors and Moorish arches in one of the sitting areas open into a sea green and white great room with columns and rich turquoise upholstery that captures the same hues as you see through any door or window. A great room with rattan pieces and a tropical green palette makes for casual living at all times. Even the game room is a dreamy expanse of scenery and spaciousness.
Any of the shared, interior spaces allow you to savor what the owners describe as "the infinity of the view from the villa, the quietude, the feeling of being far and away from hustle and bustle of everyday life".
Naturally, this is all part of the experience in one of the five different bedrooms in La Dacha as well. Designed with the same global influences, they include three master-styled suites and two suites suitable to kids or individuals. Each is an ensuite room with great views and outdoor showers.
This is something the owners have chosen to include in order to be sure you take away with you the same experiences and feelings they do whenever they enjoy a visit. Responding to the question of just what they wish for each guest of La Dacha, the answer comes quickly, "A sense of luxury, comfort, complete relaxation and rediscovering of nature, colors of the sky and inner peace."
When asked what other experiences they would recommend to guests who have booked a visit to the villa, their answer is a short and hilarious one: "Don't leave the villa." With its gorgeous and beautifully designed interiors, its wonderful location, its spaciousness and wide array of indoor and outdoor living spaces, you may come to agree with them and decide that the villa La Dacha is a perfect destination for your next holiday in St. Martin.

1. Video conferencing and telepresence: Tokbox is a web utility that enables onscreen Vcon using a web cam. Unlike the more popular Skype which mandates an installation on all terminals and permits Vcons only among registered users, Tokbox is purely online and only one person in the entire team need maintain a profile; all others may directly join the Vcon after they receive the session URL from this user. Dimdim is a similar service but the free version allows only 1 webcam. TinyChat allows upto 12 members in the free version. Chat, session recording, file-sharing, whiteboard and screen-sharing options are other features available between the three.
2. Document storage and sharing: Dropbox, Mozy, Wuala and Box.net are store-sync-share utilities and may be used like an online USB drive. Google Docs, and Zoho enable online creation, editing and sharing of docs, spreadsheets and other Office Suite components. Both have mobile versions so you can access your docs on the fly. Additionally, Evernote, Google Notebook for notes, Flickr, Picasa for pics and SlideShare, Authorstream for presentations are useful sharing options to explore.
3. Finance Management: Mint is a good tool to manage your business's income and expenditure. You can link your bank account to your profile after signing up and get ready reports, charts and break-ups as the money keeps going in and out, practically eliminating the book-keeping task. Other features like alerts, easy categorizations and mobile access ensure you are always on top of things. Wesabe is an interesting alternative.
4. Project Management: ClockIT takes care of all your time tracking, milestone mapping and Gantt chart plotting requirements. You can assign tasks to co-workers and track progress conveniently. It also has a file storing facility that enables sharing of project related documents with the concerned team mates. Onyaka has a dead simple interface and is a convenient tool for staff scheduling.
5. Space Management: Floorplanner is a cool tool to ensure that you plan and utilize every inch in your office. Starting with a 2D layout, you can drag-n-drop furniture, flooring, windows, doors, plants, electronic items etc from the elaborate library and then render it in 3D at the click of a button. You can also share your workspace designs with non-registered users. Dragonfly is a similar tool with all the functionality of Floorplanner and has a sleeker output, with the translucent walls creating a really classy effect.
So until you can afford a swank office with ubercool telepresence gizmos and a team of expensive-looking finance blokes, the above utils should certainly help you run the show just fine.

The now well known and widely read speech from Roger Ebert regarding not fearing death is something that I think we should all take a moment to read and then spend some time digesting the words. I'll highlight a couple of excerpts that stood out for me and made me pause and think:
I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state. I am grateful for the gifts of intelligence, love, wonder and laughter. You can't say it wasn't interesting. My lifetime's memories are what I have brought home from the trip. I will require them for eternity no more than that little souvenir of the Eiffel Tower I brought home from Paris.
"Kindness" covers all of my political beliefs. No need to spell them out. I believe that if, at the end, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances.
And this quote which was supposedly attributed to Vincent Van Gogh:
Looking at the stars always makes me dream, as simply as I dream over the black dots representing towns and villages on a map.
Why, I ask myself, shouldn't the shining dots of the sky be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France?
Just as we take a train to get to Tarascon or Rouen, we take death to reach a star. We cannot get to a star while we are alive any more than we can take the train when we are dead. So to me it seems possible that cholera, tuberculosis and cancer are the celestial means of locomotion. Just as steamboats, buses and railways are the terrestrial means.
Photo of the Day – Breaking Day in the Badlands
The 'kindness' quote above is the one that means the most to me personally – I could not agree more. There are so many people in the world that are 'fake' good people. They do their religious ceremonies on the weekends and believe that doing that makes them somehow superior to all. However, in their day-to-day life they treat people like crap or stand in the way of people's happiness. We all deserve to be happy – heck its embedded in to the ultimate authority of the US Constitution so the founding fathers in the US found it important enough to make sure it stood the test of time. Yet some feel they know what will make others happy and thus stand in the way of their ultimate pursuit of it. To me (and to Roger Ebert) that is and should be criminal. If we all strive to do what he tried to do 'Contribute to the Joy of the World' we would all be in a better place.
Below is another inspirational speech at a TED conference from Roger Ebert on how he remade his voice following all of his surgeries for cancer which led to the removing of his lower jaw.

Give Mobbin (Remix) a listen - it's a new offering from Maino, featuring Busta Rhymes, Jim Jones, Gucci Mane, Yo Gotti & Trae Tha Truth. It was dropped on Friday, September 21st, 2012. Maino's musical situation is improving with every new release, and Mobbin (Remix) will most definitely help the cause. It's a fine addition to the growing body of work Maino has been developing since stepping foot in the game. We're looking forward to what Maino has in store.
Check out Maino on Different Kinda Nigga , featuring PUSH! & Twigg Martin. If you dig this, visit Maino's profile for the latest info, news, songs, and mixtapes.

Steamed Artichokes with Lemony Butter Sauce
Guess what?! Artichokes are in season! They are everywhere. In all my recipe newsletters, on blogs, on TV. Everywhere! And despite looking utterly confusing, it is pretty simple to turn them in to a perfect appetizer for a party or an evening in with a bottle of wine.
Artichokes really wouldn't be complete without a dipping sauce to go with them… butter is usually the key ingredient, and I love to use butter whenever possible, because, well, it's awesome. I decided to finally make the jump and make clarified butter/ghee to use in my kitchen for other recipes, and this one as well. As it turns out, melting butter and letting it sit, is pretty darn simple. Adding the ghee along with some garlic, lemon juice, white wine and more butter creates the perfect pairing for the steamed leaves. Use as much or as little lemon juice as you want, as using the full 4 tbsp its very lemony.
Adapted from Simple Recipes.
2 artichokes
1 lemon slice
1 garlic clove
Put 2-3 inches of water in a large stock pot with a clove of garlic, bay leaf and a slice of lemon. Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer. Insert a steamer and steam the artichokes for 25-45 minutes, until leaves are easily removed.
Lemony Butter Sauce
Adapted from Food.com.
2 tbsp of ghee or clarified butter, directions here
1 garlic clove, grated
2-4 tbsp fresh lemon juice, depending on your preference
2 tbsp dry white wine
2 tbsp butter
Salt and Pepper
In a small sauce pan, heat the ghee and garlic for about 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice and wine, season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 2-3 minutes more, and remove from heat. Stir in the remaining 2 tbsp of butter, and mix until combined. Let sit for a few minutes, until it thickens up a bit, serve with artichokes.

Making Moments to Breathe
At times, if you're anything like me, you think: "Man, if only I can get a moment to fucking breathe." Life seems to come at you from all sides, you're struggling with this thing or that, and you feel like you can't really push or get pushed further.
Here's the thing: life isn't going to give you those moments. At least, it won't when you need them. (Frankly, you probably get them more often than you think, and don't notice them. But that's a digression.)
I will digress a little further, and make a gaming analogy.[1] In Don't Rest Your Head, as the GM spends Coins of Despair, they turn into Coins of Hope for the players. The players may, when their characters are in a moment of rest or calm, spend one of those Hope to heal their character.
And as the GM, it's not my fucking job to give you those moments. You want to heal? You want to breathe? Make that moment happen.
The same with life. You need to make those moments happen when you need them. Sometimes that means pushing to accomplish something pressing harder than you otherwise might. But sometimes it means being honest with your capacity as a human being and carve out a time where you can breathe despite the feeling that the walls are closing in.
I cannot tell you which is right for you, because it's all situational. I have to deal with a bunch of pressing health stuff right now, which cannot wait long. But once I accomplish the next goal with that, I can give myself a day or two to breathe. On the other hand, sometimes I need to give myself the day off of freelance work, because the pressure causes me to become subpar with the work. And evaluating which is which is a skill that I've only started to hone, and am far from mastering.
When these moments happen, I try to ask myself (though the wording is not quite like this in the moment in my mind): What is the most pressing problem? What's needed to deal with this? Will pushing on it be a detriment to my short-term or long-term sanity?
And when I deem I need to, I force moments in time for me to breathe. Because no one is going to hand those to me.
That I didn't do this enough in 2010 is why I crashed hard, burning business relationships and some friendships, and why I slowed down in 2011. After all, sometimes the reason we need those moments to breathe, sometimes we feel like we're being pushed too hard, that's because we're doing it to ourselves.
I encourage everyone who works with me on projects to do the same thing, and I try to recognize (when I'm able, like when we're working in the same office) when people need and aren't themselves recognizing it or feeling the ability to ask. Because sometimes we need some help from allies to make those moments happen. No one's an island, etc.
– Ryan
[1] Which breaks my rule for analogies: stick to food, relationships, or sex. Other analogies, including sports, don't always translate. (Which reminds me of a story that Paul Tevis told me about baseball analogies not translating to his Swiss coworkers.)
2 Responses to Making Moments to Breathe
This post meant a lot to me, particularly because my wife and I are in the middle of one of those times where we feel like we need to breathe. I appreciate your being open and honest with what's going on.
On a related note, this won't affect my pitch for DHTG, as things appear to be settling down and I've still got some time.
Also, sometimes those breather moments aren't a day. Sometimes they last an afternoon, sometimes an hour, sometimes for as long as it takes to drink a cup of tea. It's really important to take them, however short. They are worth it. :)

You use OneNote to organise your life.
It's a fantastic piece of software. You don't know how you'd manage without it.
But there is one problem: You want more flexibility with To-Do Tags.
OneNote doesn't provide all the features you need.
- You can't set due dates
- There is no concept of reminders
- You can't assign contexts or projects
- You have to manually copy your tags in OneNote over to your to do list manager
If only there was a tool that could let you manage all of this.
Introducing Notebud
Notebud links your OneNote To-Do Tags to your favourite to do list manager.
Use OneNote as you normally do: for quick capture, brainstorming and project planning.
Notebud picks up on all tags in your notebook and transfers them to your favourite to do list manager.
Notebud remembers which tags have been exported and recognises when you tick them off your list.
It's perfect for baking OneNote into your productivity system.
Notebud makes it easy for you to get organised and to get things done.
