What is the PTR? There's all sorts of curiosity and questions about this PTR thing. One of my guildies affectionately refer to it as the patience test realm. The PTR as we know it is actually known as the public test realm. It's several servers that contain upcoming content for players to test such as new class changes, new in game events (like the Argent tournament) and a new raid instance like Ulduar.
But my experience with it has been incredibly frustrating. Of course, there are periods where things aren't so bad and I can try out stuff. Today's post is going to feature a list of annoyances and possible suggestions for Blizzard in upcoming content patches.
Instance instability
During the worst of times, the instances are unplayable. I'd have half my raid group inside Ulduar and another half would be waiting outside trying to get in. They'd receive errors like "Transfer Aborted: Instance not found†or "Too many instances. Please try again later.†It was incredibly frustrating. A typical PTR test day would involve 30 minutes of actual boss time and 90 minutes of waiting for people to resolve their technical issues.
I can't even report any bugs and such or effectively test out stuff since it's nigh impossible.
Solution: In BC, we've got this major traffic artery called the Port Mann bridge. It carries hundreds of thousands of cars daily and it's still not enough. Right now, the city engineers in are in the process of twinning the Port Mann bridge by doubling the lanes to increase the load that the bridge can carry. I wonder if that same logic is possible to apply by launching more instance servers.
No Mcweaksauce
I know. Blizzard mentioned that players should be prepared to bring their own stash of buffs. I don't know how realistic it is to have that kind of expectation that players have bags full of flasks, enchanting mats, glyphs and what not for the entire duration of the testing phase. It would just be incredibly convenient.
Solution: Have the entire McWeaksauce family at the staging area just before the instance portal that anyone can go to. Make them slightly larger than normal to prevent mammoths from sitting on top of them.
Guildies and other players I've spoken to explained that previous PTRs were much easier to get in to. Why? Because there wasn't a whole lot of interest in them. Why? Because people weren't bored and they still had stuff to do.
Think about it.
A large number of guilds have completed all that the game presently has to offer. More than usual, even. So when word comes out that there's new stuff to play around with, a lot of players will jump at the chance. I know if I was still working on OS drakes or Malygos, I wouldn't be as dedicated with the PTR. Most of the traffic seems to occur right around the beginning of a boss being toggled on.
Solution: Not quite sure here. Would more servers do the trick?
Lack of servers
Again, this is similar to the population control. I have players disconnect from world servers. I have players who get network connection errors. I have players who continuously error out. There's a lot more demand from players who want to get in on the action then there are boxes that can supply that desire. Europe's got four servers, right? North America has two. But I guess all the European ones come in various languages. It's at the point now where I routinely pray for other players to get frustrated enough to give up their attempts to get back in so that my group has a higher chance of getting in.
Solution: See above.
Inflated prices
This is just a product of every PTR phase. This is what some players are thinking:
"Gold doesn't mean a thing so I can charge a crapload for it! I can make a fortune of gold that will be completely and utterly useless! It's all going to disappear within a few weeks so I can charge obscenely high prices and not give a damn!â€Â
And this ends up being a vicious cycle. One person charges overpriced stuff for enchanting mats or glyphs. This causes everyone else to match the price to come up with the funds to pay for other overpriced stuff. And on and on it continues. Who loses? Just about everybody since they can't get access to the tools they need to test stuff effectively. And don't even try to raise the garbage argument that "oh they should've gotten their stuff enchanted before comingâ€Â. Because we all know there's new items coming and that stuff should get polished up, too.
Solution: A really savage beating.
So why do I keep going back? Why do I continue to subject myself to hours of teeth grinding annoyances?
Because I still firmly believe that knowledge is power. Sure you can read about strategy and watch live videos of guilds attempting to do it. But the experience and feeling of accomplishment after figuring a boss out on our own? That type of feeling can't be reduplicated. There's already strategies and videos out. But for the brief hours I was in there with friends and guildies, the experience of undergoing trial and error to figure out what works and what doesn't is unmatched. And I have a new whole level of respect for the top tier guilds and raid leaders around the world who engage in this every time new content is available.
Props to those guys. And Stratfu.
Apparently word on the street is that linking to Stratfu brings good luck and many beautiful women. I'll have to test this theory.

When the teaser trailer for Steven Spielberg's Tintin trailer came out, I had reservations. The post, the styling, the action, they all looked terrific. But why couldn't we see anyone talking? As the new full-length trailer mercifully reveals, turns out they had nothing to hide.
As you can see above, Tintin and company - unlike so many of their motion capture movie mates before them—may not be lost in the uncanny valley after all. We don't see much talking, and much of what we do see is obscured by facial hair. But the chunks of dialogue we do get doesn't seem like a jarring Hall of Presidents dead-eyed display. It's actually, well, watchable.
Maybe it's because the source material is cartoonish. Maybe it's because they've cherrypicked the most humanoid ten seconds from a two hour film. But either way, I've got hopes. Hopes that not only has Tintin escaped the uncanny valley, but all of his successors as well. [BleedingCool via TDW]

The collection includes many of Tucker's correspondents, yet it cannot be determined whether Tucker assembled most of the portraits primarily before the fire that destroyed his bookshop (and offices), or after. Most of the photographs date from the end of the 19th-century, and the sitters are largely European, by European photographers; Tucker could have acquired them in Paris at any time. The portrait collection came to NYPL with Tucker's papers, the gift of his daughter, Oriole Johnson Tucker Riché, in 1971.
Benjamin Ricketson Tucker (1854-1939) published The Radical Review from 1877 to 1878, and the anarchist magazine Liberty from 1881 to 1908. The journal's banner read "Liberty – Not the daughter but the mother of order," signaling Tucker's stance as a philosophical or individualist anarchist. His magazine was the first to publish George Bernard Shaw in the U.S., and to translate Pierre Joseph Proudhon. Tucker also published other works considered radical at the time, such as Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, Tolstoy's Kreutzer Sonata, and Oscar Wilde's Ballad of Reading Gaol.
A curious contradiction perhaps was Tucker's deep commitment to the fine points of typesetting for all his publications. For his eightieth birthday in 1934, friends reprinted his 1892 text Why I Am An Anarchist (Berkeley Heights, N.J.: Oriole Press 1934) in a limited edition of 100 copies with "Initial and embellishments . . . by Frederic W. Goudy," the modern master American book and type designer with a consciously archaic style.
Born to an old Massachusetts family, Tucker attended M.I.T. and lived in France before working for the Boston Globe. He moved to New York in 1892, and later opened the Unique Bookshop, which specialized in the works of anarchists, atheists and freethinkers. The bookstore burned beyond recovery in 1908, and Tucker and his lover Pearl Johnson, with their 6-week old infant daughter, moved first to France, before relocating permanently to Monaco.

NYC Marathon considering alternate staging area
NEW YORK (AP) -- The government shutdown could mean a change to the New York City Marathon's staging area.
That's because the site is the federally operated Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island.
Organizers of the Nov. 3 race say they're working with city, state and federal officials to find an alternate site if the shutdown continues. The starting location won't change.
They declined to say which site or sites they're considering for the staging area but said it would remain on Staten Island.
About 45,000 runners participate in the 26.2-mile marathon.
Fort Wadsworth is part of Gateway National Recreation Area controlled by the National Parks Service.
The marathon was canceled last year because of Superstorm Sandy. Additional security is planned for this year's event after twin bombings at the Boston Marathon killed three people and injured about 260.

Freedom of the Press
You are here
2012 Scores
Press Status
Press Freedom Score (0 = best, 100 = worst)
Legal Environment(0 = best, 30 = worst)
Political Environment(0 = best, 40 = worst)
Economic Environment(0 = best, 30 = worst)
Status change explanation: Libya improved from Not Free to Partly Free due to significant improvements in media freedom and access to information as Mu'ammar al-Qadhafi's control over the country progressively crumbled during 2011. The draft constitution contains provisions for expanded freedom of expression and of the press, and access to officials is far greater than under the Qadhafi regime. There has also been a boom of media outlets, particularly in the east, with a diversity of viewpoints. Journalists are able to cover the news more freely than before, and with less threat of violence and intimidation.
Prior to the 2011 uprising that led to the overthrow of longtime leader Mu'ammar al-Qadhafi, the Libyan media were among the most tightly controlled in the world. However, following al-Qadhafi's downfall, the media environment in Libya experienced a transformation. The revolution began in February, when citizens in several Libyan cities—inspired by early 2011 uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt—took to the streets to protest al-Qadhafi's 42-year rule, sparking a brutal crackdown by the regime. Libyan civilians and army defectors took up arms in response to the regime's attacks, and in March, a NATO-led campaign of airstrikes was launched to protect civilians. Rebel forces quickly established control of the east, and a National Transitional Council (NTC)—based in the eastern city of Benghazi—was formed. In August, rebel militias captured Tripoli, the capital, and al-Qadhafi and his family fled the city. Al-Qadhafi was seized and killed by militia members near his hometown of Sirte on October 20. The NTC relocated to Tripoli, and by year's end, it was operating as a de facto national government.
Under the Qadhafi regime, there was no independent press, and state-owned media operated largely as mouthpieces for the authorities. Journalists worked in a climate of fear and self-censorship. In the initial stages of the conflict, state-controlled media only broadcast demonstrations in favor of the regime. After the fall of the regime, Libyan media experienced unprecedented freedom, without clear regulations or set red lines. The NTC declared that it would not attempt to control content—including criticism of its own performance—and access to officials is less restricted than under the previous regime. At the beginning of the revolution, there was pressure to self-censor to show a united front, but since the official liberation of the country, local media have been free to write critically about the NTC. The media environment in eastern cities experienced change earlier than the rest of the country, with around 130 outlets registered by July.
Under al-Qadhafi, Libyan journalists had operated under the 1972 Publication Act, which contained provisions banning libel and slander, and broadly restricted critical speech. After taking power, the NTC was tasked with drafting a new constitution and electoral laws. In August 2011, the transitional government published the Draft Constitutional Charter for the Transitional Stage, which is intended to fill the gap until elections and a new constitution. The draft charter guarantees several fundamental human rights. Article 13 guarantees, among other rights, "freedom of opinion for individuals and groups, freedom of scientific research, freedom of communication, liberty of press, printing, publication and mass media." While these provisions are a positive start, they do not fully reflect the guarantees of the right to freedom of expression as set by international standards. The charter provides a broad definition of freedom of expression, but does not explicitly abolish censorship or include the right to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas. Additionally, it does not cover all types of expression and methods of communication, and it does not grant these rights to every person. In addition, clear laws on libel and slander have yet to be established.
The five fatalities recorded during 2011 made Libya one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists, although this was unsurprising given the armed revolt, during which journalists were caught in the crossfire, and the overall level of violence. Libyan journalist Mohammad Nabbous was shot dead by a sniper in March while covering a battle in Benghazi. Also in March, Ali Hassan al-Jaber, a Qatari cameraman for Al-Jazeera, was shot outside Benghazi following coverage of the protests. In April, American photographer Chris Hondros and British documentary filmmaker Tim Hetherington were killed by a mortar round in Misurata while covering the conflict. South African freelance journalist Anton Hammerl was also killed in April outside Brega by loyalist forces. There were also numerous cases of detention and harassment of international and freelance journalists during the conflict. In February, Al-Jazeera reporter Atef Al-Atrash disappeared after reporting that several journalists had been detained in Libya. American photographer James Foley was detained for six weeks in April, and was released with three other foreign journalists in May. In addition, al-Qadhafi at the outset of the conflict invited a number of international reporters to Tripoli to cover the conflict; however, their movements were closely monitored, their reporting was restricted to covering progovernment demonstrations, and often they were prevented from leaving Tripoli's Rixos Hotel.
A dramatic increase in outlets in 2011 significantly altered the Libya media landscape, with a much wider diversity of independent and pro-NTC viewpoints. Many smaller media sources are owned by individuals and often survive on donations, and in many cases, ownership of these outlets remains unclear. Activists and entrepreneurs launched hundreds of outlets on a variety of platforms during and in the wake of the uprising. Benghazi, one of the first cities to declare itself free of the Qadhafi regime, had 800 media outlets registered by the time Libya declared itself independent in October 2011. During the year, media outlets flourished in Misurata, Tripoli, and in the western Nafusa Mountains, where the Amazigh minority established newspapers as well as television and radio stations in their own language (under the Qadhafi regime, Amazigh was a banned language). Tribute FM was the first Libyan English-language radio station established. When it received this license, the NTC said it wanted the outlet to be "as critical of the new regime as they liked."
There has also been an explosion of print media in the wake of the revolution. As Libya does not have a recent history of independent media, the quality of the journalism has frequently been criticized, and few newspapers have enough content to establish a daily edition. Many of the newspapers and magazines founded during of the fall of the old regime are closing, mostly due to activists returning to their normal lives or because their enterprises lacked equipment, funding, or experience in the media industry. More recently, the government has proposed giving some funding to independent media outlets in their early stages to help them become established.
The General Press Corporation (GPC) that had existed under Qadhafi has been dissolved, along with state-owned newspapers such as Al-Shams and Al-Zahf al-Akhdar. A new body, the Press Support and Encouragement Corporation, has taken its place. It was founded and is headed by journalist and poet Idris al-Mismari. He has vowed that this new press body will not replace the GPC, but instead will "safeguard the state-owned [press] to serve journalism." He has also promised that Libya's press will be based on "freedom and transparency," and that a code of ethics will be written by journalists.
Before February 2011, all TV stations were run by the state broadcaster, the Libya Jamahiriyah Broadcasting Corporation (LJBC). The LJBC was disbanded after the fall of Tripoli in August 2011 and replaced by the state-owned Libyan Radio and Television network (LRT). There are currently more than 20 television stations and dozens of radio outlets, many of which are controlled by private owners. Among the new television stations that were established during the conflict are Libya al-Hurrah, which replaced the pro-Qadhafi channel Al-Libiyah. The station was founded by Nabbous; since his death in March, it has expanded from a web-based television channel, and is broadcast live from several Libyan locations. Libya TV or Libya al-Ahrar was launched in April 2011 with support from the Qatari government and Libyan businessmen. Although it is a private channel, it is increasingly seen as the mouthpiece of the NTC. Before the fall of the regime, satellite channels that carried stations such as Al-Jazeera were jammed in order to withhold information from citizens. Nevertheless, journalists continued to work around these barriers to spread information, and after the fall of the regime, access to these channels resumed.
Internet penetration remains relatively low, with about 17 percent of the population accessing the medium in 2011. The social media scene in Libya experienced constant growth in 2010, and it more than doubled between February and October 2011. Libyans' use of social media, as well as video- and photo-sharing websites, was instrumental in the provision of information, news, and multimedia content about the protests and ensuing conflict. According to Social Bakers, which provides usage statistics for social media sites, Libyan Facebook users increased by 121 percent, from 72,000 to 230,940 people (3.57 percent of the population), in 2011. After journalists, bloggers, and activists uploaded images of the initial February protests to the internet and social networking sites, the Qadhafi government shut down or disrupted the internet and mobile phone, and many bloggers were arrested. Between February and August 2011, access to the internet was severely limited in the west; however, it was gradually restored after the rebels established control in the east, and the rebels set up their own mobile phone network in Benghazi in April. Following the liberation of the country, there were no reports of the resumption of filtering that had been prevalent during the Qadhafi era.

Summer Blaze is a concoction of sweet, refreshing summer fruits with cool and tangy lemonade.
IVG had relatively small beginnings when it started as a side project by the CEO of a law firm. Since its conception in 2016 the E-liquid manufacturer has exploded in popularity, now selling their products to millions of customers in over 60 countries worldwide! They are now one of the worlds leading brands offering a wide range of flavour intensive E-liquids.
What are VG and PG?
VG/PG indicates the ratio of Vegetable Glycerin (VG) to Propylene Glycol (PG) that makes up the e-liquid. VG is a thick liquid that is known to bestow a sweet taste upon the juice that contains it. PG, on the other hand, has a much thinner viscosity and no taste. PG produces the feeling of a "throat hit", which VG does not. There are various ratios of VG/PG found throughout the e-cig market. Some with very high VG for creating lots of vapour, some with higher PG for "stealth vaping". So, depending on which vape setup you have/ what your personal taste is, the decision is completely up to you. Here is some information on the VG/PG content of this particular e-liquid;
The VG/PG content of this liquid is 50/50
If your vape has a coil with higher resistance (>1.0), it is often recommended that 50/50 is a more suitable mixture of PG/VG as it will provide a more comfortable vaping experience. Higher resistance coils tend not to be able to soak up the high-viscosity VG as fast as a sub-ohm coil and so you are more likely to get a "dry hit" where the coil hasn't had enough time to soak up more liquid for your next toke.
The typical levels of nicotine contained in e-liquid are as follows;
- 0mg/mL
- 3mg/mL
- 6mg/mL
- 12mg/mL
- 18mg/mL
- 20mg/mL
In the UK, 20mg/ml is the legal limit for the nicotine content of vape juice. It is also against the law to manufacture and distribute any nicotine containing e-liquid in a bottle of more than 10mL in volume. To get around this, some manufacturers started to sell what is known as "shake 'n' vape" or "short fill" e-liquid. This is where they sell 0mg/mL liquid of greater volume (most commonly 50ml – 100ml), in bottles that have space for the customer to add their own "nic shot" shot of nicotine.
Here is a useful table to help you calculate the amount of nic shots you will need to add to your 0mg/ml shake 'n' vape or short fill e-liquid in order to achieve your desired nicotine content.
Please note that the table below refers to the use of 10ml nicotine bottle(s) at 18mg strength.
|Volume of nicotine free eliquid
|Required nicotine strength
|¼ bottle
|½ bottle
|¾ bottle
|½ bottle
|1 bottle
|2 bottles
|1 bottle

|4 bottles
Nicotine is a highly addictive substance. Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep away from children and animals. NOT FOR SALE to persons under 18 years of age.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

It's that time of year again — time for my yearly bone density check. I am really dreading the bone scan this year, but it is not because the test is hard. It is pretty much one of the easiest procedures that we, as Crohn's patients, have to take. I am dreading the scan, because I am dreading the results. I just don't want any more bad news. I don't want to have to take the Reclast infusion again, and I know that if my test comes out worse, the rheumatologist is going to insist that I do.
Recently, the FDA has begun studying drugs like Reclast, Boniva, and Fosamax due to signs that the drugs can cause abnormal heart rhythms. There is also some controversy about whether or not these drugs can actually increase the chance of thigh bone fracture after five years or more.
My general doctor has told me not to take the next infusion, and just take my calcium supplements and do weight-bearing exercises daily. I have re-started tap dancing and am also taking hip hop class, so I hope this will strengthen my bones the natural way. I was supposed to get my last infusion in August, but I did not do it on the advice of my general doctor with my anxiety about taking the drug.
Another possible side effect of Reclast (and Boniva) is that it can cause serious heartburn and GERD. When I was taking Reclast, I had the worst heartburn and stomach problems. I didn't realize at the time that it could have been caused by the Reclast, but now I think that it just may have been – especially since it has not been a problem for the last several months.
Since I need to do the bone density scan this month, I guess I will just have to face my rheumatologist, tell her my fears about the medicine, and see what she recommends. I just pray that my test results show some improvement so that I won't have to worry too much.
Take care,
Kelly R

- More about Mauviel
In 1830, Ernest Mauviel established his namesake cookware company in Villedieu-les-Poêles in Normandy. The village had a long history of outstanding metalwork; the locals were considered experts in the craft. Today, much of the manufacturing is still done by hand using traditional processes passed down through generations of copper makers. True to France's rich culinary history, Mauviel 1830 is a favorite in professional kitchens, where copper's quick, even heat conductivity is essential for making delicate sauces and other French classics. Mauviel now also offers stainless-steel collections crafted with the same attention to detail as its traditional copper cookware.

I was looking at a Mauviel Copper set of 8, but ended up getting a saucepan as I found that I wouldn't be able to use all of them. So far, I like it a lot as it heats up fast & food is cooked evenly well. I also recommended the cleaner & polish "Bar Keepers Friend" which cleans well on copper, stainless steel & my other cookwares.Date published: 2016-06-22

The IMF Should Heed This Resignation
Op-ed in the Financial Times
© Financial Times
Eccentric in tone and cryptic in content, the resignation letter of a senior International Monetary Fund (IMF) official released last week was, nevertheless, important for what it implied: The IMF is failing in two key respects. It has not provided independent intellectual leadership, most evidently on the euro area crisis. And it is unprepared to provide stability for the next big global crisis. With Spain and possibly Europe inching back towards the abyss, that crisis looms. The possibility of the IMF being missing in action is cause to sound the alarm bells.
On the euro area, the IMF has towed the official European/German line on the crisis, possibly to the disservice of Europe and the world. It has not been a source of new ideas or critical thinking on key issues such as: the workability of the strategy for Greece; the responsibilities of creditor countries, including the need for symmetric adjustment in a currency union; and the alternatives to austerity in the short run. It is not that the official line is wrong, but that the IMF has failed to challenge orthodoxy, forfeiting its role as a valuable referee in the policy debates. If things turn bad, the IMF will have to bear responsibility for its complicity in the less than optimal policy choices made in Europe.
In response, the Fund invokes the familiar defense that it does indeed voice its opinions and concerns, but privately. The IMF cannot go public and precipitate the very crisis that it is enjoined to prevent. Moreover, especially as the junior partner in the troika, it has to work with governments. So while it can influence and challenge policy choices before they are made, it must fall in line once they are made.
This defense is increasingly untenable for two reasons. First, not only governments (behind closed doors) but also the world and its markets need to have the benefit of the IMF's thinking and advice. That is one of the valuable global public benefits that the Fund provides. And the world is sophisticated enough to understand that the IMF, even where it may differ from governments intellectually, can support them institutionally and financially.
Second, sharing its thinking publicly is an important internal check on the institution. What the resignation letter hints at, and something that outsiders can never prove and insiders will never admit to, is that internal decisions are made in an atmosphere that encourages caution rather than openness, and by a few who do not have a monopoly on competence and good ideas.
Another shortcoming of the IMF is the failure to extend itself financially and quickly. True, it has increased its resources (by at least $430 billion) but the magnitudes would be insufficient if Spain and Italy were to plunge into crisis. Europe may be rich but it cannot avoid relying on external resources in an emergency.
The reasons could be economic, because the balance sheet of the euro area as a whole is fragile and raising internal resources at a time of prolonged and slow growth will be difficult. They could be political, because Germany may be unwilling to shoulder all responsibility. Or, the euro area might collapse, unleashing chaos, which will need all the resources the world can muster.
To be fair, Christine Lagarde, managing director of the IMF, has been trying to raise resources from its members but without the sense of urgency warranted by the circumstances or the boldness to take on the major powers. The fault of this leadership, if any, is again the failure to articulate the intellectual case for keeping the Fund relevant as a crisis-stabilizer in the new world where rich countries are potential supplicants for emergency resources.
Frustrated with the difficulty in reforming the IMF, emerging market countries, especially China, are gradually contemplating alternatives. The BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) nations have set up a bank for effecting resource transfers and East Asian monetary arrangements are being strengthened. These new initiatives are not necessarily superior or even complementary to a multilateral IMF. But they are the consequences of a weak and unresponsive IMF, an increasingly irrelevant Euro-Atlantic, rather than a truly international monetary organization.
If the IMF leadership does not take corrective action, the world might well be asking why the Fund was asleep as adviser and financier even as the European driver was taking the car over the cliff.

San Jose a winner in Class A Advanced
Giants' 90-win season a success despite lack of league title
By Andrew Pentis / Special to MLB.com | November 1, 2011 6:00 AM
Where do San Antonio and San Jose diverge? The latter secured a Texas League championship at Double-A and the former fell short of its third consecutive Cal League crown. That said, don't consider the Giants -- awarded the MiLBY for Best Class A Advanced Team -- completely bummed out.
#ques_include {width:230px;float:right;margin-left:5px;} #ques_content {border-top:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-right:1px solid #000000;padding-left:5px;} .ques_schedule {margin-top:5px;font-size:11px;} .ques_dates {font-size:11px;font-style:italic;color:#999;}
Kinston Indians
Kinston may have fallen short of a championship in its final season in the Carolina League, but the Indians' play kept them in the hearts of fans for some time. After winning the Southern Division second-half title on the next-to-last day of the season, Kinston defeated Myrtle Beach in the opening round of the playoffs before falling in four games to Frederick in the Mills Cup Finals. The team moves to Zebulon, N.C., for the 2012 season.
Though their short-lived stay in the postseason is difficult to explain, the Giants' regular season is not. Success started on the mound. San Jose hurlers combined on a 3.70 ERA, 14 shutouts and 48 saves -- all tops among their Cal League peers. Moreover, the shutouts were tied by only the Florida State League's St. Lucie and Jupiter staffs, and the saves went unmatched in the Class A Advanced ranks.
At the top of the rotation, power-sinker pitchers Craig Westcott (13-4, 3.42 ERA) and Chris Heston (12-4, 3.16) as well as left-hander Kelvin Marte (12-6, 3.47) all made 24 or more starts. Their pitching coach, Brian Cooper, was named Cal League Coach of the Year.
"In A-ball, anytime you can get guys at top of rotation [that] throw strikes and have strong defense behind them, [that] don't walk guys -- this is especially true in A-ball -- and make them swing the bat, it gives you a lot of confidence," Skeels said, "that you're not going to have too many long losing streaks."
In fact, the club finished May with a 12-game winning streak before adding stretches of 12 straight victories in June and 11 consecutive in July. It also became the first to clinch a first-half division title on June 9, even beating San Antonio to punch. (The Missions clinched their division three days later.)
"It was fun because me and Craig are real good friends. Any time that we were pitching, we were always rooting the other one on. And we also had Kelvin Marte. We all competed against each other," said Heston, who led the trio with 131 strikeouts in 151 innings. "Anytime everybody is pitching well, you want to go out there and do better; that's healthy competition. You go out there and you want to do a little better than the last guy.
"We played well together. There were times when the pitching wasn't there and the hitters picked us up. And there were times when the hitting wasn't there, and pitchers would pick 'em up. That's how it was all year, and it worked out for us."
The most important batters also happened to share the closest relationship with the pitchers. Catchers Hector Sanchez (.302 batting averaged with 58 RBIs in 52 games) and Tommy Joseph (22 homers and 95 RBIs in 127 games) "both have now played their way into being [among the] elite catching prospects in the game," gushed Skeels.
Having a key cog like everyday leadoff man and center fielder Gary Brown, named the Best Class A Advanced Hitter and the Cal League Rookie of the Year, didn't hurt either. One of nine Giants to record double-digit homers, Brown also was amongst the Cal League top three leaders in batting (third, .336), runs (second, 115), hits (first, 188, a franchise record), triples (first, 13), total bases (second, 290) and steals (second, 53).
"He's something to watch play, and I got to see it firsthand," Heston said. "He set the tone for what we did."
Beyond the numbers, San Jose was also flush with intangibles, chief among them toughness and togetherness. Skeels pointed to a May 16 home game opposing Stockton. The Giants coughed up an early four-run lead, then responded to single runs by the Ports in the 11th and 13th innings. Finally, after the visitor posted three runs in the top of the 18th, San Jose scratched out four to win, 10-9.
"It was a death march to the end for both clubs," Skeels recalled. "In extra innings, we rally to win the game. That spoke to the heart of a lot our players; it was a great touchstone for us. These kids, individually and collectively, were gamers."
Off of the ballfield -- in the clubhouse and the hotel as well as on the bus -- players said they were tightly knit despite losing shortstop Brandon Crawford (.322 average in 14 games) in May and Sanchez, third baseman Chris Dominguez (11 homers and 40 RBIs in 63 games) as well as outfielders Francisco Peguero (.324 average in 16 games) and Wendell Fairley in June -- all to promotions within the organization.
"We lost a good core of our group" at the end of the first half, Brown said. "It took a few games for everyone to find their new role. Once we did in the second half, we got off running again.
"It was chemistry. We really had a good core of guys. We got to know each other really well. It was a lot of fun in the clubhouse."
Infamous for pulling pranks, Brown also kept the team loose. Was there a particularly good joke played on a teammate?
"No," Brown said, "there's so many that we did daily."
"Now that everybody is back home and sitting at home," added Heston, "you realize how those days that were long and hard were actually a lot of fun."
For whatever reason, the season didn't end the same way. The Giants lost their final three games to Rancho Cucamonga, then, after a first-round bye in the playoffs, lost three of four to the Stockton Ports.
"It was a little disappointing, but as I have learned from past playoffs, in college and this [year] included, it's about getting hot at the right time," said Brown, a Cal State-Fullerton product. "Stockton was hot, and we lost to a hot team.
"We had a good season, so we can't forget about the journey that got us there."

I think science journalism is valuable and important, and in order to earn the trust of both scientists and the public, it needs to make honest, accurate reporting its chief value. Lately, there have been too many instances of a violation of that trust — and bending a story to more comfortably fit a common and erroneous stereotype is a perfect example of bad reporting.
Emphasis mine. Myers is referring here to the odious "Women who dress provocatively more likely to be raped" article that recently appeared in The Telegraph. (If you didn't see that one on the feminist blogs, the short version is, The Telegraph managed to pull that notion out of a press release about a study that said nothing of the sort.) But Maude knows we've seen more than a few examples of it around here.
If you're not already pissed off enough thinking about this on a Monday morning, check out the follow-up e-mail Myers got from a science journalist.

Struggling to find the best buy-to-let mortgage in Workington? speak to one of our buy to let mortgage advisers today
The term 'buy to let' generally refers to either the practice of buying a property to be let for profit or to the type of mortgages used to purchase a property for such letting. Many countries, both in the western world and in the developing nations, have seen a surge in the growth of the buy to let property market in the last 2 decades and this has fuelled a growth in amateur landlords and the but to let mortgage providers who are keen to encourage and profit from them in turn. In addition, this growth has generated a lot of commerce in other related sectors such as buy to let insurance.
What Is The Best Way To Work Out Rental Demand and Supply?
Many countries, both in the western world and in the developing nations, have seen a surge in the growth of the buy to let property market in Workington the last 2 decades and this has fuelled a growth in amateur landlords looking for quality mortgage advice, this is why mortgage brokers in Workington who specialise in Buy-to-let are so important and the but to let mortgage providers who are keen to encourage and profit from them in turn. In addition, this growth has generated a lot of commerce in other related sectors such as buy to let insurance.
Workington Buy to let mortgages have been available in the UK since the mid-nineties and they are specifically designed for investors to borrow money to purchase property in the private rental sector. The amount that a prospective but to let investor can borrow is generally determined by the rental valuation of the property. The annual income for a rented property has to cover a certain percentage of the mortgage repayments, the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) states that landlords should seek to be able to obtain gross rent returns equivalent to between 130 per cent and 150 per cent of the rental property's mortgage repayments, this takes into account the surplus rent to cover costs of property maintenance and slack periods when the property may be vacant of tenants.
Workington Buy To Let Mortgages.
Some buy to let mortgage lenders in Workington will lend you a maximum sum based on a multiple of your salary (usually a multiple of three) plus a percentage of the forecast rental income on the property. So if your annual salary is said 30,000 Franks and the forecast rental income is 10,000 Franks they will lend you 95,000 Franks. Other mortgages, in addition to factoring in your salary, will include any existing loan commitments you have, and then apply what is known as the 'deduction rule'. This rule relates to the annual mortgage payments worked out at a pre-set level of interest.
Buy to let mortgage interest rates are generally fairly close to residential mortgage rates but will generally be slightly higher and typically charge higher fees. This is due to the fact that buy to let loans are considered by the financial sector to represent a greater risk than residential owner-occupier mortgages, and they generally are.
The Situation in the UK About Buy To Lets
The buy to let market literally 'exploded' in the Workington around the beginning of the millennium with rising property prices and the increasing availability of buy to let funding fueling a surge in would-be investors trying to cash in on the trend of the market. One reason for their popularity is the tax advantages that are available to the UK buy to let investors. Rental income is treated just like a salary by the Inland Revenue, and is therefore often taxed at 22% or even 40%. However, landlords are allowed to deduct costs from the taxable portion of their rental income, and these costs can include the interest of the buy to let mortgage repayments as well as maintenance costs on the property. These tax incentives made the buy to let market very attractive for both professional investors and amateurs looking to make the most out of their savings.
Would-Be Buy-to-let Investors
The market peaked around 2007 and now the market is saturated in many areas across the country with too many properties available to tenants. While buy to let is generally not a good idea for people who do not possess some extra budget there are a lot of remortgage deals which will fund a deposit for a home. If you are worried about losing money during void periods many companies will provide insurance which can deliver as much as six months mortgage payments in the event of a property in Workington remaining unoccupied.
You may still be lucky, and find a hotspot but you need to do your homework and the figures correctly. Buy to let trends differ from town to town and literally from street to street. Good advice for potential investors is to visit the local letting agents who should be able to tell you who is renting what at the moment so you can define your target audience. It could be students, young professionals or families, for example. Look for areas that do have a shortage of properties and for indicators that people will move there, such as new business developments.
Buy to let mortgage deals are still rife and the rates are almost as competitive as with conventional deals. The mantra with your buy-to-let must be 'don't expect to get rich quickly'. You need to look long-term: an absolute minimum of five years – but probably nearer to ten years.
Hello, I'm just calling to find out moreabout your new attractive interest rates on your buy to let mortgages.
No I don't.
Ok, ok thanks for your time.
When you are thinking about buying an investmentproperty, the mortgage is one of the most important considerations.
If you would liketo know my recommended method for finding the best mortgage for your property investment,then stay tuned as I explain how.
Hello, I'm Andy Walker from monoperty.
Com,where I blog online about my journey as a property investor and landlord, sharing whatworks for me and what doesn't, to help you start or expand your property portfolio.
Now, there are plenty of banks and mortgagelenders out there who all have hundreds of mortgage products offering different interestrates, terms and fees, resulting in thousands of mortgages for you to choose from.
When I first started, I looked at online comparisontools to find the cheapest product which I thought would match my needs.
After hoursof research, comparing interest rates and application fees, I then discovered that eachproduct has it's own requirements and eligibility criteria once you start the application process.
These included the household income, whether I had any other investment properties anda whole host of other factors.
It wasn't easy and it took a lot of time.
So to save you time, here is what I recommend.
Find a mortgage broker.
Simple you might be thinking, but no, hold on, don't pick upthe phone just yet.
I wouldn't recommend any mortgage broker, I'd recommend you finda broker with these 2 qualities: Firstly, someone who specialises in Buy ToLet products and not residential or a mixture of both.
Why? Because as I've already mentioned,it's a huge market out there and only the brokers that deal specifically deal with BTL productswill have the best knowledge.
They have direct contact with the lenders and have vast amountsof experience with their lenders eligibility criteria.
Within a few minutes of asking yousome key questions, a broker will be able to match you to suitable lenders, and withinjust a few days, they will be able to provide you with some mortgage products for you tochoose from.
You also want to find a broker who's aninvestor themselves because they'll have a better understanding of your plan and whatyou are trying to achieve.
I've used 3 brokers in the last couple of years, 1 wasn't aninvestor and 2 were.
The service I received form the 2 that were investors, was far betterthan the one who wasn't, and not only did they provide me with a product that best suitedmy needs, but they also shared some sound investment advice about the properties thatI was buying.
A mortgage broker will receive a commissionfrom the lender for selling you their product and the broker may also charge you a fee.
But don't let this put you off because mortgage brokers work hard, and they check all thepaperwork to avoid any delays with the application.
All correspondence between you and your brokercan be sent via email, which makes it super convenient to find a broker anywhere in thecountry.
My broker fees are paid once the lender has released their funds and the propertyis in my name.
I know there some brokers charge a fee upfront, but that has always put meoff, and I haven't used them.
So how do you find a broker with these qualities?Well, there are several ways and they are typically places where investors are found;Property Auctions, Property Network Meetings, and Social Media Platforms.
Facebook groupsare good for connecting with the right people who have backing from some of the group members.

Do You Need A Mentor To Buy An Investment Property As A Beginner? (Buy To Let)
Hello and welcome to Property InvestmentsUK and today we're going to be looking at a couple of client questions.
This one inparticular is looking at what areas maybe they should focus on around the Manchesterarea, if they're looking at both capital growth and also rental yield.
The question is from Raj and it's, "Dear Rob,I watched some of your videos and thought they were quite thorough and very thoughtprovoking indeed.
" That's alright, thanks Raj.
"I am looking to invest for yields andcapital gains in England.
Since house prices in London have soared, I started looking atthe Manchester area.
My budget is just below 200,000 pound in cash.
Would appreciate someadvice.
Thank you.
Best, Raj.
" Okay, perfect.
There's a few things to consider,Raj, in terms of which locations or what areas of Manchester you should consider.
For a budgetfor 200,000 pound, that's quite a healthy budget.
You'll get a lot of rentin the Manchester location for that, so what I'd probably suggest is instead of just thinkingon the headline amount is to look a little bit deeper in terms of what rental yieldsor what return, what cash flow, you're looking to achieve in the property.
Also, the trade-offthere for is what kind of capital growth you're potentially aiming for with the property aswell.
I can then guide you some more on giving youa bit of an idea in terms of what locations might fit, so if you're looking for a rentalyield of, say, 8%, there are only certain locations around Manchester that are goingto fit that criteria.
Likewise, if you're looking for a particular tenant profile, ifthat's working tenants or a local housing allowance tenants, or maybe students,again there will be locations or pockets around Manchester that will fit that criteria better.
So as a rough rule of thumb, South Manchesterat the moment is performing very well for capital growth and has performed very wellin the past as well and should continue to do that in the future, because a lot of reasonsbut there's investment going on in the area and with employment, business parks.
There'salso the metro-link, which is going through south Manchester at the moment and a few otherareas as well.
The yields, though, in south Manchester currently are only about 6, 6-1/2%.
When you compare that to other locations around Manchester, you might get 7, 7-1/2, even 8%plus in other locations.
It's important to try to strike that balance between growthand yields.
In south Manchester, you'll probably get more capital growth in the next 5 to 10years than in some of those higher yield, lower value locations around Manchester.
It's a case of trying to sit down initially,work out your kind of individual aims and goals.
What's your priority, whether that'scash flow and income coming in on a monthly basis, in which case yields are probably goingto be a bit more of a priority, or alternatively, if your potential is pension plan, growth,then maybe capital growth is an area you should be focusing on more and south Manchester mightbe a better location.
If yields are your target, then probably maybethe east, north and also west of Manchester are going to give you the slightly higheryields, so see which is most preferable for yourself, Raj, and then kind of look at theareas around there.
There's lots of other links that we can introduce you to at thebottom of this video as well which will show you how to work out the yields in the differentlocations across Manchester.
Also, how to check out which areas that may be performingbetter in growth and property prices as well.
Look to those in the videos, but hopefullyyou found that helpful.

After that comes the wait for the final sentence, the judgement of the court of third instance, the medical Supreme Court.

No further recourse is available, and hesitation is definitely not going to make things any easier for me, although itNorev scala 1 43 plastica vintage - 12 MERCEDES BENZ COMPETIZIONE verde 2 would certainly facilitate matters for my guest. Any remaining doubt has now been removed and I need to take action because time is firmly on its side.

I'm becoming a bit of a regular at the hospital, and my fervid imagination or paranoia now has me sensing the gloomy building muttering an "up yours!" behind my back as I pass through its corridors. What is certain is that now I enter and leave the building with my tail between my legs.

Nice work, although it may be better to make a note there and make a new post: most of the comments will be unrelated to the latest version! :)ReplyDelete
I thought about that. But that page gets a lot of direct links.ReplyDelete
I figured that it would be better to just give the correct info on the directly linked page, rather than redirecting people to a new page.
I could just delete all the comments, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea.

Sorry for the repeated posts, I keep accidentally posting the wrong link.ReplyDelete
The EJ topic for WepEx says that the dodge rate for bosses is 5.6% (nothing on parry though). It also scales for tanks incredibly well, especially once you can push parrys off the table and reduce the damage you take.

With only a few weeks until the season premiere of Glee's fourth season, the show is letting fans in on what songs will appear on the first two episodes.
In a first listen event on Facebook, the show revealed that this season would feature songs from Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Justin Bieber and Britney Spears.
In the season premiere, airing September 13, new cast member Kate Hudson, who plays Rachel's dance teacher, performs a mash-up of Gaga's "Americano" and J. Lo's "Dance Again."
"It works really well, it's fun," Hudson said in a statement. "It's got fun and levity and you see a different side of her. … This character actually has some depth."
The gang at McKinley High will also do their own version of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" as well as highlight another summer hit by Imagine Dragons.
Darren Criss who plays Blaine on the show, will sing "It's Time" by the Las Vegas band. Though, this name might not sound familiar, most likely the song will since it's been blaring out of speakers all summer long.
The second episode is another tribute to Ms. Spears, appropriately titled "Britney 2.0" with a cover of Brit's 2007 song, "Gimme More" by Glee's own Brittany.
Criss will also duet with Kevin McHale, who plays Artie, for a mash-up of Bieber's "Boyfriend" and Britney's "Boys" from her 2002 self-titled album.
Will Britney appear on this episode like she did back in season two? We'll have to wait and see.
Watch a preview of the season premiere airing on its new day and time, Thursday, September 13 at 9 pm.
