Weekend Short Combo Blog #2
I guess there's really no such thing as a "short" blog with it being combo week, but the NBA write-ups are a little briefer than during the week.
I want to start by noting that I believe we've officially hit the point where the NBA is probably not worth wagering unless you have a supremely strong play and there's almost zero doubt in the selection. And on that note, I happen to believe you probably need to be playing a TOTAL for there to be that kind of value, since teams are showing up or bailing out on a nightly basis without much warning. With that in mind, I will likely have ONE NBA play for Sunday, but I absolutely do NOT guarantee having any other NBA regular season plays as pretty much every team is beginning to strongly consider mailing it in.
As far as yesterday goes, we went 1-2, but we hit a huge underdog, so only dropped about half a unit. Considering a 1-2 record during football season means you likely lost 1.2 units or more, the fact that we lost two plays for -2.10 units, then won our Top Play on the Padres to make back over 1.60 units on that monster underdog really bodes well for when we have a good day!
Despite the 1-2 Saturday, we only gave back a half unit of profit, and we're still WAY, WAY up for the month of April and WAY, WAY up during the NBA season. The NBA run still stands at 16-7, and 8-3, and we've made money in the MLB in each of the last 3 days, so now is absolutely NOT a time to bail because our transition is just starting to cash!
Sports Wagering: NBA
Magic @ Cavaliers - This line is OFF. This game is going to be largely dependent on who plays, it's that simple. If, as I expect, Lebron and/or a few of his teammates take the morning off, the Magic could be a nice play, here. As was noted by a sharp blog reader a couple days back (was that you, PK?) Orlando is playing for the 2nd best record in the League (and a potential home court in the Finals), so they're still playing their top guns in an effort to pass the Lake show. So, while 80% of the league is screwing off the last few days of the season, Orlando is making a push (right now they're tied with LA at 56-23). Lean to the Magic, and tiny lean to the Over.
Blazers @ Lakers - This line is OFF. This game would seemingly mean more to Portland than LA, but I wonder if we're starting to see the Lakers get into playoff tune-up mode. This might be one of the games to just wipe off your card, since we really don't know what to expect from LA. This line won't come out until pretty late, too, given that oddsmakers are trying to determine which Lakers, if any, are going to take a night off. Slightest, tiniest lean to Portland, and while I like unders in this "big game" situation, normally, off that ugly game with Dallas, not sure the under has any value left. Let's check the line out, but maybe a peek at the Over on a value play.
Heat @ Knicks - Miami by 5 with a total of 200. New York has been competitive lately, in most games, though they got slammed in Orlando. Miami has taken its foot off the gas now that a playoff spot is locked up, and we saw that in their last game with Detroit. The Heat are not terribly concerned about that playoff seed, though I think they're assuming they can grab a win down the stretch to stay out of the 7th or 8th spot. No lean on the side, and slight lean to the Over, since I feel like the Heat get sucked into a Knicks-style game, just a bit.
Bulls @ Raptors - Chicago by 2 with a total of 202.5. This is truly the game of the day, and the only one that matters from a "who's in and who's out" perspective. In fact, the winner of this game will be in the driver's seat for that last playoff spot. Toronto is without Chris Bosh, and I feel like everyone is going to be looking to Chicago to pick up this win, but I think the huge value is in the Under. This is going to be a "playoff style" game, and you can bet that both teams are going to want to take special care of the ball. I happen to think this game comes down to the last shot, so maybe take a team on the ML if you want to grab a side, and definite lean to the Under.
Wolves @ Hornets - This line is OFF. Two teams with nothing to play for, this point in the season, it's as simple as this: look to the home team. We've seen how visitors have performed in the final week of the season, and the numbers haven't been impressive. Slight lean to Hornets, though we know how they've struggled to cover numbers at home, but the Wolves are off that actual crowd draw against the Lakers, and they're ripe for a complete failure game. I think this one could be a track meet, too. Lean to the Over.
Rockets @ Suns - Phoenix by 9 with a total of 222.5. Believe it or not, the games in this series have been pretty hotly contested, and I think it's because the Rockets can shoot. Houston's quietly rattled off 3 wins in a row, but admittedly, the Suns need it more. I'd probably give a tiny lean to the Rockets getting all these points, but a pass is the wiser option on a game with a spread this large. The total looks pretty accurate, if a tiny bit inflated, but which team is going to slow it down? Neither, that I can tell. Pass on the total, too.
Thunder @ Warriors - This line is OFF. The Thunder don't take anything lightly these days, and though they got ripped off of a win in Utah, then were too tired to tackle Denver, they bounced back nicely with a home win over the skilled Suns. I happen to think the Warriors are going to run into a little trouble with this hugely athletic team, and even though this is likely to be some road chalk, I think the Thunder dispatch of Golden State. On the total, we know the Thunder can score with Golden State, though they've done a decent job of slowing, and I have to look at the Under first.
Sports Wagering: MLB
Nationals @ Mets (-230) with a total of 8; L. Hernandez vs. J. Santana;
Adam Dunn is 4-for-7 with 2 HR and 3 RBI off Santana;
Ryan Zimmerman is 5-for-16 with a HR and 4 RBI;
Christian Guzman is 8-for-16 with 1 RBI off Johan;
David Wright is 12-for-27 with 4 HR and 10 RBI off Livan since 2005;
Mike Jacobs is 4-for-12 with 2 HR and 4 RBI off Hernandez;
Jeff Francoeur is 5-for-13 with 1 HR and 2 RBI;
Henry Blanco, Luis Castillo, Jason Bay and Alex Cora each hit over .333 off Livan.
There are a surprisingly large number of offensive numbers to consider, especially on Washington's side. Johan is a beast, and I'd never advocate backing Livan, but perhaps peek at the Over, or the underdog RL.
Dodgers @ Marlins (-130) with a total of 9; C. Haeger vs. A. Sanchez;
Manny Ramirez has a homer in 3 AB off Sanchez with 2 RBI;
Ronnie Belliard is 2-for-5 and Russ Martin is 2-for-4 off Sanchez.
Considering Sanchez held the Dodgers to 1 run in 6 innings in his career against them, this isn't much of a price to pay on the vastly superior starter. Still, that Marlins pen is a scary sight. Tiny lean to Florida, and tiny lean to the Under.
Cubs @ Reds (-130) with a total of 9.5; T. Gorzelanny vs. M. Leake;
Jay Bruce is 1-for-2 off Gorzelanny with a HR;
Orlando Cabrera and Scott Rolen are each 2-for-5.
We don't know enough about Mike Leake to make a play, here, but the fact that he's a -130 favorite tells you oddsmakers think he'll throw the ball just fine. Pass on the side, here, and a look at the Under, since we'll get the key number of 9 right now.
Phillies (-185) @ Astros with a total of 7.5; R. Halladay vs. R. Oswalt;
Ryan Howard is batting .421 with 2 HR and 7 RBI off Oswalt;
Brian Schneider is 4-for-9 off Oswalt with 1 HR and 2 BRI;
Raul Ibanez is a simple 2-for-5 off Roy Oswalt, but someone to watch;
Carlos Lee is 1-for-3 off Halladay with a HR and 3 RBI;
Roy Oswalt is 6-1, 3.23 ERA against Philadelphia.
Oswalt has solid career numbers against Philly, but Houston is offensively inept, and I don't know how healthy Oswalt truly is. I would look at the Under, and maybe the underdog RL if oddsmakers truly feel this game is staying near 7.5.
Padres @ Rockies (-235) with a total of 9; J. Garland vs. U. Jimenez;
Adrian Gonzalez has homered twice off Jimenez, but is batting just .211 off him;
Jon Garland is 1-0, 2.63 ERA against the Rockies;
Carlos Gonzalez is 7-for-11 off Garland;
Todd Helton is 4-for-6 off Garland, and Melvin Mora is 6-for-20.
Coors Field is the X-factor here, as Garland has been decent against a large portion of the Rockies lineup, and Jimenez is a budding superstar. I don't like the sides, but I think if these guys can get through 6+ innings, the Under might be a decent look.
Braves @ Giants (-200) with a total of 7; K. Kawakami vs. T. Lincecum;
Brian McCann is 6-for-16 off Lincecum;
Travis Ishikawa is 3-for-5 off Kawakami, and Aaron Rowand is 2-for-3.
Tim Lincecum is 5-1, 2.72 ERA against the Braves.
The Giants should win this game, but that total of 7 makes me think Kawakami throws well, too. Be careful here, is my best advice, since this one might end up closer than folks think. I don't think there's a good bet in this game.
Pirates @ Diamondbacks (-200) with a total of 10; D. McCutchen vs. E. Jackson;
There is absolutely no information to go off, here, other than that Jackson faced the Pirates many moons back, and these guys have a total of 13 AB against him. The Diamondbacks will probably win this game, and again, no real promising-looking wagers to come out of this contest, other than a potential look at the Under.
Cardinals (-140) @ Brewers with a total of 8; C. Carpenter vs. R. Wolf;
Felipe Lopez is 7-for-18 off Randy Wolf;
Matt Holliday and Albert Pujols are each 3-for-10 off Wolf;
Brendan Ryan is 3-for-5 in limited action of Wolf;
Prince Fielder is 4-for-11 with a HR and 2 RBI off Carpenter;
Craig Counsell is 3-for-10 with 1 RBI.
Randy Wolf is a serviceable starter with decent career numbers against the Cards, but St. Louis is one bad team, and they've started the year hot. If you can get Carp or Wainwright below -150 NOT against another staff ace, you have to at least consider it. Lean to Cards. No lean on the total, as St. Louis could score 8 or 5, and might win either way.
American League
Indians @ Tigers (-215) with a total of 8.5; J. Westbrook vs. J. Verlander;
Carlos Guillen is batting .417 off Westbrook;
Brandon Inge is batting .348 with 2 HR and 6 RBI off Westbrook;
Magglio Ordonez is batting .364 with 2 HR and 6 RBI;
Ramon Santiago is 5-for-7 off Westbrook.
Verlander has actually had some issues with Cleveland in his career, but most of the Indians that hit him hard aren't on the Indians any more. Hafner and Sizemore each have 2 HR off Verlander, and Peralta has 1 HR, but none hit for a high average. This game is a wash to me on the side, maybe a peek at the Over, though Comerica Park plays to the Under.
Blue Jays @ Orioles (-140) with a total of 9; S. Marcum vs. K. Millwood;
Lyle Overbay is 5-for-13 with 2 HR and 2 RBI off Kevin Millwood;
John Buck is 7-for-16 with 6 RBI off Milwood;
Aaron Hill is 6-for-19, Alex Gonzalez is 2-for-6;
Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion are each 2-for-3 off Millwood;
Nick Markakis is 9-for-18 with 5 HR and 6 RBI off Marcum - holy moly!
Miguel Tejada is 6-for-13 with 3 HR and 7 RBI;
Adam Jones is 3-for-10 off Marcum.
Tons of offensive fireworks potentially on display, here, as Marcum has an ERA of 6.04 against Baltimore, and Millwood an ERA of 5.33 against Toronto. If the bullpens give up 3 runs, we should hit an Over. This actually has the potential to be our first total of the season.
Yankees @ Rays (-135) with a total of 9; A. Burnett vs. J. Shields;
Derek Jeter is 12-for-30 off Shields with 1 HR and 5 RBI since 2005;
Robinson Cano is a blistering 11-for-23 with 2 HR and 6 RBI;
Nick Johnson is 2-for-5 off Shields, as is Marcus Thames;
A.J. Burnett is 11-4, 2.77 ERA lifetime against Tampa bay;
Carl Crawford is 12-for-36 off Burnett since '05, but no power numbers;
Evan Longoria is 8-for-25 with 1 HR off Burnett;
James Shields is 1-7 lifetime against New York.
A.J. Burnett has been surprisingly good against Tampa, and I'm honestly a little surprised at how the odds are adjusted for James Shields. I can't help but lean just slightly to the juggernaut Yanks here. I also like the Under, if but barely.
Twins @ White Sox (-130) with a total of 8.5; N. Blackburn vs. M. Buehrle;
Denard Span is 10-for-20 off Buehrle with 2 HR and 5 RBI;
Delmon Young is batting .364 off Buerhle with 2 HR and 2 RBI;
Brendan Harris is batting .344 with 1 HR and 5 RBI;
A.J. Pierzynski is 12-for-26 off Blackburn since 2005;
Alexei Ramirez is 8-for-19 off Blackburn;
Carlos Quentin is 5-for-16 with a HR off the Twins starter.
Blackburn has just a 3.38 lifetime ERA against Chicago, so this isn't a bad spot for Minnesota, though I happen to think this game could be a battle like the previous two. The Twins might very well sweep the Sox, but I'd prefer to look at the Under.
Red Sox (-125) @ Royals with a total of 9; C. Buchholz vs. G. Meche;
Kevin Youkilis is 7-for-13 with 1 HR and 4 RBI off Meche;
Dustin Pedroia is 6-for-11 off Meche;
Big Papi is 7-for-18 with 3 HR and 6 RBI against Gil Meche.
I trust Meche about as far as I can throw him, while his career ERA against the Red Sox is a reasonable 4.26, I don't see Boston losing this finale. That price on the Red Sox is tempting, but it may need some more research. Tiny lean to Boston, no lean on the total.
Mariners @ Rangers (-160) with a total of 9; I. Snell vs. S. Feldman;
Franklin Gutierrez is 4-for-10 with 3 RBI off Feldman;
Julio Borbon is 3-for-4 off Snell in limited action;
Vlad Guerrero is 2-for-5 off Snell, and Chris Davis is 2-for-3.
Scott Feldman had a ton of success against the Mariners last year, and they're not really hitting this season. Snell has looked good in his last few months of baseball, and I'm inclined to think the Under has some legs here, though I don't like either side all that much.
Athletics @ Angels (-140) with a total of 9; D. Braden vs. J. Saunders;
Eric Patterson is 4-for-5 off Saunders with 2 RBI;
Mark Ellis is batting .308 since '05 off Saunders with 2 HR and 7 RBI;
Erick Aybar is 6-for-14 off Braden;
Mike Napoli is 4-for-9 with a HR off Braden.
Make no mistake, the Angels are slumping, and Saunders didn't look good at all in his first start, but something about this game makes me think the Angels find a way to get a win on Sunday, but not enough to make it a play. I like the Under just a bit.

You have to understand the importance of having a good gutter for your home as it will carry the rain water into a safe place, thereby preventing any damage to your walls and roof. The most commonly used types of gutters are the sectional gutters. In this variety, the metal frames are cut into different sections and joined wherever needed on the edges of the walls. Most people prefer this because this is easy to fix and you can almost do it yourself if you have some plumbing skills. The major drawback with this variety is that it will eventually start leaking at the edges and you will have to replace them on a regular basis.
However, when you choose seamless gutters, you will not have these issues as you can get the entire length of the gutter made in a single piece of metal frame. In this type, you will be bending the gutter wherever needed across the walls. You can easily get it done using a portable gutter machine and this will not leak like the sectional ones. It is long lasting and will give you the best value for your money in the long run.
Common Materials Used for Gutters
- Aluminum is corrosion resistant and you can bend it without any hassles.
- Copper gutters are slightly expensive, but they look very good when compared to other options.
- Steel gutters are maintenance free gutters and you will get the best durability.
- You can also consider vinyl gutters if you are on a tight budget.
- The advantages of choosing seamless gutters over sectional gutters
There is no difference in both of them when it comes to the choice of materials used for the gutters. You can use the metals for any variety of gutters and it depends on your personal preference. The biggest advantage you get with seamless option is the fact that it will not leak causing roofing problems like the sectional ones. In this manner, you will have less maintenance and the gutters will last for a long duration giving full value for your investment.
When it comes to the cost of seamless gutters, you will find it completely affordable as there is very less difference between this one and the sectional gutters. However, the durability factor will work in its favor for the seamless gutters and you can easily choose them for your home.
Ease of Gutter & Downspout Installation
When it comes to ease of installation, you will be able to work on the sectional gutters on your own as you can get them in proper sections and join them wherever needed on the edges. However, when it comes to seamless gutters, you will need the help of professionals as they will use the portable gutter machine to bend the metal frames at the edges. In this way, you will get a customized design for your home. This will help you to avoid any joining of sections and you will have the entire length running in a single metal frame.

While most people won't think of it as the quintessential wedding outfit for brides, the Qipao is fast becoming a very popular outfit for brides everywhere. In our years of experience in Singapore pre-wedding photography, we have seen the fast rise in popularity for this traditional yet very feminine Chinese dress. Here are some tips we can share if you plan to wear a Chinese traditional wedding Qipao for your big day.
When we do wedding photography in Singapore, we let our clients have a free reign in choosing their outfit. However, from time to time, they would ask us for advice on how they can make their outfit work for photo opportunities and beyond. Based on our experience and tips from the experts, here are some tips we can share to our prospective clients.
- Colour – While there are no limits when it comes to style (more on this later), during formal events such as weddings, there are some unwritten rules in wearing this traditional garment. While no one will stop you from wearing any colour you like, brides will traditionally wear red for their wedding day. Conversely, guests are generally dissuaded from wearing red garments during the wedding, as it's traditionally reserved for the bride.
- Quality – You would want to get the best-quality Qipao for the occasion. A poorly chosen dress will rear its ugly head during the wedding. We have seen so many wedding shots that could have been made better if they have selected the best quality garments for their big day. Whether made from cotton or linen, check the fabric quality for your dress. Also, the collar, slits, piping, and other details should never be too overwhelming. The focus should still be on the bride, not on the dress.
- Fit – One of the distinguishing characteristics of the Qipao is how it fits. Its slim fit will make the bride's feminine body form stand out. When fitting your traditional Chinese dress, we would recommend that you do it as close to your wedding day as possible. The fit of the dress, combined with the non-flexible nature of the fabrics used, means there's not much room for weight fluctuations. Lose or gain a few pounds, and you may screw up the fit.
When having a traditional Chinese wedding, it would be great to dress up according to the occasion. Based on our experience in actual wedding day photography, these tips will come in handy as your wedding day comes closer.

Are you the kind of person who's always been thought of as the teacher's pet – a note-taker, question-asker, homework-doer? Well, you know what? Unlike that kid Billy in your seventh-grade homeroom (who, by the way, never amounted to anything) we're not going to pick on you about that. In fact, it's more than all right with us, because that's just the personality type for whom we're looking, to land this exciting gig managing digital projects for the intranet of a prestigious East Coast medical institution.
The Nitty Gritty
You'll be responsible for several projects within this 30,000-user portal, which provides central access to all news, communities, dashboards, and equipment requests. Working with a scrum team of 15, you'll use a Kanban workflow to conduct projects both large and small, varying from product rollouts to the creation of new apps, to the building of new communities, to the deployment of new links, posts, promoted searches and videos.
As you work, you'll keep a sharp eye out for opportunities for process improvements, which you'll document as you create templates and write documentation, being the note-taker that you are. You'll also interface with outsourced teams and with the multitude of stakeholders and creatives by which you'll be constantly surrounded, and believe us, they, too, will cherish your diligence.
Hired Gun Profile
You're passionate about processes and workflows, and you maybe have Agile experience (but if you don't, don't sweat it). Somewhere deep in your heart, there is a fervent dream of growing up to be a COO.
Here's the main thing: You're not an order-taker; nobody ever has to ask you to follow up on something. If it needs following up, you'll just follow up, because duh. And no one will ever say to you, "Please write this down," because you're sitting there writing it down already. In a word, you are proactive. Incredibly proactive, to stretch it out to two words. You're super-organized and have impeccable management and communication skills. Part of your natural polish extends to an ability to navigate and network within a sprawling and diverse organization.
Inside Skinny
We'd be remiss not to mention that this happens to be a fantastic company to work for, a place whose academic atmosphere infuses the entire organization with a chill, nurturing vibe.
Net Net
For a can-do project manager looking for a career super-charge, this one is it. You may now put down your pencil. But you already knew that.
All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, creed, age, sexual orientation, veteran status, marital status, disability, or any other status protected by applicable law.

Gorilla Glass is a thin and tough protective layer on devices which have big screens like those in Tablets, Smartphones, TVs and other electronic devices. It reduces the possibility of breakage of screens on devices. Gorilla Glass was developed and manufactured by Corning in 2007.
Until 2010, 20% of Mobile devices, approximately 200 million mobile handsets used this technology and around 2012 the share rose to 50%. Now most newly developed Electronic Devices with Screens have Gorilla Glass. Corning Gorilla Glass is used by more than 30 major brands and has been featured in more than 750 product models, spanning over 750 million units worldwide. There are various other types of Glasses in the market but Gorilla Glass is :
- Damage Resistible: It gives better damage resistance against flaws from the user's end. It reduces the risk by creating a deep compression layer on the screen's surface which is formed by chemical processes.
- Hard: It is quite hard and can save your screen from damage.
- Thin: Its thinness can vary between 0.5mm- 2mm according to the need of the manufacturer.
- Lightweight: Its weight is similar to nothing.
- Scratch Resistant: With all the above features it also protects your screen against scratches.
After its Gorilla Glass popularity, Corning developed Gorilla Glass 2 and announced it at CES this year with several improvements. New Glass 2 is 20% thinner and it enables the development of slimmer devices with greater touch sensitivity. It is the ideal option to use this unimaginative Glass from Corning for the manufacturers of Tablets, Smartphones and Laptops . It provides brighter images without sacrificing its quality. Most big companies like HTC, Samsung, LG, Sony, etc use this technology. Samsung Galaxy S III also has Corning Gorilla Glass 2.
We have a video which suggests what we can develop and has developed from Gorilla Glass:

Skyline Cycle's Blog
As of today the calendar feature on our website has been updated. I have posted all the holiday sale discounts on there as well as scheduling the bike classes through the end of January. Forgive our website it is a little antiquated but the info is correct. We are going to be updating to a new website after the holidays. As always thanks for letting us be your bike store, happy holidays, see you all soon.
For me and I think for a lot of other people out there shopping, finding the right gift for someone is not always easy. Combine that with the fact that cycling is not everyone's hobby, plus lets face it as a group, most of us are a little picky about the gear we want makes shopping for a biker hard. Then there is the guy or lady that has literally everything to do with bikes. In years past we have tried to stock our shelves with bikes and gear that would make anyone happy, this year is no different. What is new is that one of our friends recommended having a gift list filled out by you as a customer and then left here so that friends and family could stop in and pick an item off the list you provided. We thought this was a super awesome idea because its a win, win. Anyone picking an item off the list knows they are giving you something you want and you get gear that makes the holidays merry. We'll have them behind the counter for you to fill out and then alphabetize them by your last name. Happy holidays, see you all soon.
Sorry its been a minute since and update. Everything in the store is now on sale for the holidays. All 2018 bikes are 10% off. 2017 bikes are 15% off. General accessories, shoes, helmets, clothing and tires are on sale at 20%. Electronics, bike trainers, car racks are 15% off.
I finally got the chance to update the calendar on the site and have scheduled the bike classes through January listed with times and descriptions.
We are excited as heck because we received and built two Framed Minnesota 2.0 model bikes in an 18" size. If this is a bike you are looking for come down as soon as possible because these models have been near impossible to get. They retail for $900 and we have them on our holiday sale at 10% off, so they are going to go quick.
We have been constantly restocking the store as gifts have been purchased and have great stock on hand heading into the last weekend before Christmas. We still have the ability to order items and deliver them by the weekend as long as items that are two days away are ordered by Thursday, and any items that are here in our home warehouse can be obtained the day after the order. As always thanks for picking us as your bike store, HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
So as of this Friday November 28th we will begin our annual holiday sale!

Hi y'all!
I had a delightful time at Freakin' Catalytic, as always thank you all for holding it down in / for the Mid west. Always have beautiful run – ins at your events
Do have one issue though!! I lost a pair of glasses, brand named Halo at the event — I contacted Troy @ Psymbolic who reported that they had been recovered and that he would mail them 'next time at the post office' which is awesome, except that it's been about a month and I haven't heard a word since the initial lost=found response.
Wondering if this could be expedited.
Peace love light (time)
Man, you guys rock! Only been to one FreakEasy and that was after Resonate 6 last march, any idea what # FreakEasy that was? Been tryin to find anything to d/l from that magickal night.. Either way I've been slowly downloading all the mixes off illmeasures.. thanks again guys, keep that shit up!

I've interviewed David Bradford before, as has Forbes reporter Susan Adams and contributor Kathy Caprino. He's the former CEO of Fusion-IO and HireVue (still serving as HireVue's Chairman), and the person who persuaded Steve "The Woz" Wozniak to accept the first position he's held since Apple Computer (with Fusion-IO). He's a friend and associate of NFL great Steve Young, Mitt Romney, Donny Osmond, and Larry and Shawn King. In fact, Bradford is often considered one of the most connected people on earth with an active database of more than 24,000 connections. (Disclosure: I have no business relationship with Fusion-IO or HireVue, but since March 15 have participated in the launch of Bradford's personal book, Up Your Game.)
As I've been writing of late about the strategies of the world's greatest power connectors, today I will share the six principles Bradford used to amass the golden connections that have powered his storied career. These are the steps that allowed him to raise $174 million in for two technology companies, one (Fusion-IO) named a Forbes #1 Most Innovative Company and the other, HireVue, acknowledged as nation's 44th fastest growing company on the Inc. 500/5000 list for 2014. These are the same principles Bradford maintains can accelerate the success of any executive and entrepreneur (and can accelerate any life achievement as well). From his presentation at last week's Big Business Expo in Salt Lake City the strategies are as follows:
Finally, Bradford credits his natural curiosity as a gift that makes it natural and easy to create a genuine connection in all circumstances and with most anybody he meets. His enthusiasm is palpable and his energy is always high.
He is eager to serve. At the Salt Lake presentation he laughs about one of the most insightful questions he'd received from a show attendee that day. "If you had a dog, and if I were to interview that dog, what would your dog say about the kind of person you are?" An unusual question, but one that would likely receive an affirmative response from the man whose wife (and others) have come to refer to as "The Human Internet."
Bradford is traveling more frequently these days. For those who would like to connect with him directly, you can find him on LinkedIn and through his website, www.davidbradford.com.

Zoning Systems Give Trinity Area Homeowners Complete Temperature Control
Homeowners in the Trinity area know how much they rely on their HVAC systems to keep them comfortable through the year. But with heating and cooling costs adding up to around half of the total energy use in your home, this can be costly. The good news is that home zoning systems provide a way for you to have more control over heating and cooling in your home, and at a lower cost.
What Are Home Zoning Systems?
Most of us grew up at homes with just one thermostat. Whatever its setting in a central room, usually on the main floor, affected temperatures throughout the house, despite the fact that different levels and rooms heat or cool easier than others. A zoning system solves this problem by separating the house into different zones, with independent temperature control for each zone. This means less wasted energy since unused rooms or zones don't need to be fully heated or cooled. It also means home occupants with different temperature preferences can set the temperature in a certain area to suit themselves.
By installing a zoning system, you can control when certain areas in your home are heated and cooled and at what temperature. Controllable dampers in your ductwork effectively keep certain zones at a comfortable temperature, meaning that you can pay the bills of conditioning a seemingly much smaller home.
Do Zoning Systems Work in All Homes?
A home zoning system can benefit all types of homes, but some may see more benefits than others. Homes with high cathedral ceilings in certain rooms, and with rooms that have their own heating and cooling challenges – sun rooms, above-garage areas, furnished basements or attics, multiple stories where heat may consistently rise to upper floors, etc. – can greatly benefit from a zoning system.
What Will a Zoning System Do for You?
A zoning system won't just reduce your energy bills; it also can make your home more comfortable (for example, directing cool air to the kitchen when you're cooking), and reduce the wear and tear on your HVAC system.
To learn more about zoning systems and how it can work in your Trinity, Huntsville or Groveton area home, please contact us today at WA Air Conditioning.

Marine on St. Croix in Washington County, Minnesota — The American Midwest (Upper Plains)
The Pineries are Gone
A Great Pine Forest
The St. Croix River valley's sandy loam soil is ideal for growing pine. In the 19th century its forests were filled with white pines. Many of them were two to three hundred years old, four to five feet in diameter, and stood up to two hundred feet tall. These trees were strong, lightweight, resistant to decay from pests and rot, and easy to cut. They furnished the growing Midwest with abundant, cheap lumber for shelter, furniture, fences, and much more.
Restoring a Forest
The Woodland Stewardship Plan 2000, a partnership of the Minnesota Historical Society, the City of Marine on St. Croix, and the Forestry Division of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, is working to return this site to the appearance it probably had before the first sawmill was built. Beginning in the winter of 2001, non-native trees such as European buckthorn and black locust were removed and replaced with native species such as white pine and sugar maple.

This guide explains how to setup Forseti on Kubernetes.
This is a proof of concept (POC) in the
dev branch.
If you decide to use this, consider implementing the k8s hardening recommendations, as well as CIS Benchmarks for GCP, section 7, Kubernetes.
Create (or use) a project with Forseti PaaS dependencies deployed: GCS buckets, Cloud SQL DB and Service Account(s)
Install Forseti server and client using
We are using dev branch for the POC.
The VM's may be deleted or shutdown after the install as they will be replaced by the k8s solution.
Remaining steps can be run from a Google Cloud Shell VM in Forseti GCP project.
Download the Forseti server (and optionally client) service account keys and store them locally on the Cloud Shell VM temporarily for k8s secret creation. It is your responsibility to keep the key files secure.
git clone https://github.com/forseti-security/forseti-security.git
cd forseti-security
git checkout dev
gcloud builds submit --config install/docker/cloudbuild.yaml .
Dont forget the dot at the end.
Ref. https://cloud.google.com/cloud-build/docs/quickstart-docker#build_using_a_build_config_file
cd install/scripts
vi k8s_setup_forseti.sh
Specify the variables
If using the client, modify the client config file in the GCS bucket to point to the Forseti Server Cluster IP.
export FORSETI_SERVER_IP=10.43.240.3 # k8s Cluster IP for Forseti Server. Don't forget to manually add this to the Client config file in GCS bucket if using Client.
server_ip: <server cluster ip>
We will move away from this hard coded approach, however this is the current POC implementation.
If Scanner rules_path defaulted to
change it to use the GCS bucket directly:
rules_path: gs://<server bucket>/rules
Monitor the deployment in the GKE web console. Allow approximately 2 minutes for the cluster to spin up and another 30 seconds for the pods to become active.
kubectl get pods to get pod ids
kubectl exec -it <CLIENT_POD_ID> -- /bin/bash
Run Forseti commands to verify that Forseti server is working as expected.

Pissed off by Christmas frivolity? Then try 'Cash'
|XIII Pocket Ensemble presents
|Written by Stephen Louis Grush
Directed by Jacob Lorenz
at Stage 773, 1225 W. Belmont (map)
through Dec 19 | tickets: $ | more info
Reviewed by Katy Walsh
"Hello! I'm Johnny Cash." XIII Pocket presents Cash with the tagline "The Man in Black, and the Death of the American Dream." Music icon Johnny Cash sang soulful songs of the human condition. He became a legend singing about doing the wrong thing under the influence of drugs, lust and incarceration. All these themes twist into XIII Pocket's introduction of folks struggling with being poor, bad, or obsessed. This Cash is less about Johnny and more about the lack of money. The monologue and dialogue vignettes are transitioned together by Johnny Cash songs. The JC selections are a more obscure sampling than his familiar mainstream blockbusters. So, it's uncertain whether or not the songs mirror the stories. What is certain is that "playwright Stephen Louis Grush dulls the bandage-ripping drama with booze. On a stage decorated with dangling naked light bulbs, the misery and pain of every day Americans is illuminated from the shadows in Cash.
Under the direction by Jacob S. Lorenz, the cast is in intoxicated angst. In a three part vignette, Chip Davis "Walks The Line" between crazy and drunk. He pontificates about snake dancing, eyeball donors and being someone's bitch. Looking like a cross between Jesus and the band Alabama, Davis rants with an increasing dark intensity. Paige Smith and Mark Minton are a fury of "Hurt" as their drinking game spins horrifically out-of-control. Smith and Minton are uncomfortably real with spitting and gun pointing ferocity. Plagued by a "Ring of Fire", Caitlin McGlone is poignant and funny as a woman screwing her cheating ex-husband. McGlone speaks directly to the audience with the familiar I-don't–love-him-I-just-wish-I-didn't-have-to-love-him logic of an unhealthy relationship. McGlone engages perfectly in her ordinariness. Laura Rook and Sean Driscoll have "It Ain't Me, Babe" banter. The disdain is evident in a coupling crumble. Heath Cordts is primed for "Folsom Prison Blues". Behind a pulpit, Cordts unemotionally describes a killing spree based around his favorite number '13.' Cordts is hysterical as a controlled disturbed freak. In fact, the entire cast is despicable in their portrayals of gritty folks not dealing in reality.
Getting Cash takes the right mindset. It's not a show about Johnny Cash. It's not a "Behind The Music" bio-pic on the celebrity. The songs referenced above are not heard during the performance. If you're looking for a Man in Black to croon familiar tunes, Million Dollar Quartet is a better choice for you to get 'Cashed'. But if you are tired of holiday plays; find yourself rooting for Scrooge and Grinch to the way they are, or nearly vomit every time you hear an obnoxious carol, this show is Cash-friendly for you! Perhaps, the only Anti-Christmas spirit option available, Cash
sings speaks volumes.
|Rating: ★★½
Cash plays through December 19th, and can be seen Thursdays and Sundays at 8pm and Fridays and Saturdays at 10:30pm. All performances at Stage 773 in Chicago. Running Time for Cash is 65-minutes with no intermission.
3-Words: The better half of a "Jackson" duet, Bill describes it with "disjointed, Cashless, negative."

About two weeks ago, I purchased Managed WordPress Hosting from GoDaddy and very successfully migrated my site to them using their automated process. Excellent. No issues. Took only about an hour.
I then went through their process of assigning my existing domain (already under GoDaddy control for many days) to the site. Excellent. No issues.
There was then a step, details of which I don't fully recall, that was presented to me that would allow visitors to access the site using both domainname.com and www.domainname.com. I clicked my way through that process and was then returned to the landing page in my GoDaddy account for Managed WordPress Hosting. That screen showed that the domain changes were pending and the green thermometer bar showed the progress at 50%.
That is STILL where that progress bar sits today after about 6 days or so of waiting. And, since it is still in progress, the adjacent pop-up links that would take me to the "WP Admin", "Overview", "Domains", and "Remove" options are greyed out and unavailable.
I should point out that even though the GoDaddy interface says things are 50% in progress, I am able to go directly to the site via the domain name, and I am successfully able to get to the domainname.com/wp-admin/ area of the site where I can log in with my WordPress credentials and do any of the things anyone ever does within WordPress.
It is ONLY the GoDaddy Managed WordPress hosting interface that is screwed up.
This morning I triggered a GoDaddy online support chat session with GoDaddy rep, Jagriti, thinking this would be a quick fix for them. After trying to be helpful for over two hours, nothing had been accomplished (glad to share the transcript if anyone is curious or having trouble sleeping). Near the end of the support session, Jagriti shared that GoDaddy doesn't actually do any of the Managed WordPress hosting, but that all of that is actually handled through WordPress.com - that was news to me. Jagriti insisted that the problem was a hidden ".maintenance" file in the root directory of my WordPress installation that was causing their interface to be screwed up. He said that if I could delete that file, the GoDaddy interface would correct itself. After successfully accessing the WordPress installation using SFTP, that proved to be incorrect. No such file exists. And yes, I made sure to show all hidden files - I could even see the .htaccess file for the site, but no .maintenance file.
He then went on to say that to fix the GoDaddy interface problem, I would have to contact the WordPress.com support personnel and tell them about the problem so that THEY (WordPress) could take steps to correct the GoDaddy interface problem. Is that crazy or is it just me? After two+ hours in a chat with this guy, I was beginning to think that maybe I was going crazy. Regardless, I'm not planning to create an account at WordPress.com so that I can reach out to their support team and ask them questions about why my GoDaddy web management interface isn't working!
I've scoured these forums for similar situations and found a few. Each said the resolution was to get GoDaddy support people to escalate the problem to the next level of GoDaddy support. Well, Jagriti didn't offer that as an option so here I am, hoping to either find someone who knows how I can handle this myself, or someone from GoDaddy who has more experience than Jagriti.
I've got the full transcript if anyone things sharing that will help. I have screenshots of the problem interface if that helps. And I have screenshots from the FTP access showing the complete absence of the ".maintenance" file claimed to be the problem.
Since I can successfully access and work with the WordPress site directly, I guess I could just do nothing, leave the interface screwed up, and hope I never have to make any domain name adjustments. But, I'd prefer to get this corrected.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Regrettably you were mis-informed. The Managed WordPress offering is NOT WordPress.com
1) This is something that most of the chat agents cannot resolve and needs to be escalated
2) As I have MANY Managed WordPress sites, I've seen this happen from time to time, where one of the scripts in GoDaddy times out and although it does everything in the background the "Hosting Dashboard" does not get updated.
If you are able to call in that would be best but if chat is your only option what I would suggest is when you get on chat, please tell them that you have having an issue with your "Hosting Dashboard"
(myh.godaddy.com) and that a site has been stuck at 50% in updating the domain.
They more than likely will have to escalate it to a system admin to be resolved. When I've called in when doing this, they usually can do it right then and there and is resolved in a few minutes.
Over chat, they may have to open a ticket. From the time you speak with them it should be a few minutes to a few hours depending on whom they speak with, but it should then be resolved - the important part is to say that this is the Hosting Dashboard and confirm the URL i mentioned above.
Once your issue is resolved,
please be sure to come back and click accept for the solution
Get Better Support on the Community Boards!
Etiquette When Asking for Help from the Community
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! I am DEEPLY grateful!
I will proceed by calling support directly to arrange for this escalation and (presumably) resolution!
Thank you @PL281! for providing a quite triumph concept and knowledge with such an expertise information through which mine problem was sorted out.
As a quick update, I did reach out to GoDaddy support by phone. I was connected to Shawn who very quickly sorted out the situation, triggered the solution - as you described, and got everything back in order!
Thank you again for some really great advice!

Working Paper No. 1022
Published: May 7, 2014Pages: 67Keywords: Mental health; Stress; Parental death; In utero; Depression; ADHD JEL-codes: I12; I14; I18; I31; J12; J13
Family Ruptures and Intergenerational Transmission of Stress
Petra Persson and Maya Rossin-Slater
The high and rapidly increasing prevalence of mental illnesses underscores the importance of understanding their causal origins. This paper analyzes one factor at a critical stage of human development: exposure to maternal stress from family ruptures during the fetal period. We find that in utero exposure to the death of a maternal close relative has lasting consequences on mental health in adulthood, as captured by 11 and 9 percent increases in the consumption of prescription drugs treating anxiety and depression, respectively, and a 23 percent increase in the average daily dose of medication for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Further, children exposed prenatally to the death of a relative up to four generations apart are 20 percent more likely to be born low-birth-weight and 11 percent more likely to be hospitalized for conditions originating in the perinatal period in early childhood.
Our results imply large welfare gains from preventing fetal exposure to severe stress; the decrease in consumption of prescription drugs treating depression alone can be valued at nearly $ 1 billion. More generally, our results point to in utero stress exposure as a potential cause of the rising incidence of several mental illnesses.

apv » industries » dairy » whey » lactose whey
Milk is the principal source of lactose (milk sugar), which represents a very large energy potential. Lactose has a number of unique properties which can be used in a variety of products.
Some of the food products in which lactose is used are listed below:
SPX FLOW's in-depth knowledge and active involvement in the development of the world's whey processing industry, combined with proven experience in project management of major capital projects, makes SPX FLOW the ideal partner for the design and installation of state-of-the-art lactose processing equipment.
SPX has experience in the production of lactose from both whey and de-proteinised way. The basic processing steps in the manufacture of lactose are shown below:
The first step in preparing the whey for lactose production is to separate the cheese fines and to remove the fat as whey cream. Then the whey is evaporated to a TS content of 50-65%. The most important considerations are that the lactose content should be as high as possible and that the evarporation temperature is sufficiently low to avoid protein denaturation. The next step after evaporationis crystallisation (see below).
After the whey has been clarified, the proteins must be removed. This can can be accomplished in two different ways: (1) denaturation of the proteins, and (2) ultrafiltration. Denaturation can take place by heating the whey to 90-95¸C for 15 minutes or more at a pH of 4.5, followed by a pH adjustment to 6.2. However, ultrafiltration is now a more popular method. After denaturation, the whey is evaporated to 60-65% TS.
When ultrafiltration is used to deproteinise the whey, the premeate is suitable for lactose production. If required, the permeate can be pre-concentrated in a nanofiltration plant during which a number of salts are also removed. The permeate is evaporated to a TS content of 60-70%. Even if the main part of the permeate is lactose, it still contains a certain amount of calcium phosphate. It may therefore be necessary to pre-treat the permeate in order to prevent excessive scaling of the evaporator.
Alternatively, the evaporation process may take place at a lower temperature and pH.
The evaporated concentrate is fed to crystallisation tanks, and after seeding and slow cooling, the lactose will become sufficiently supersaturated to crystallise. For crystallisation, the lactose solution must contain either a crystal seed or an impurity such as precipitated calcium phosphate.
The cooling rate should be slow enough to allow the formation of large crystals. The crystals should be tomahawk-shaped and their size should range from 200 to 600my.
The processing parameters most important for the yield include:
A realistic target is a yield of approximately 65% of the total available lactose.
Utilization of mother liquor
Mother liquor from whey can be evaporated to a TS content of almost 50% and subsequently dried.

Once a major oil-pumping and refining center, Shamrock is a dusty, rusty old industrial town, off I-40 and a mile south of historic Route 66, which survives as the Business Loop of I-40 through town. Though it's not a particularly lovely place, Shamrock does have at least one real highlight: the lovely old Tower Station and U Drop Inn, standing together in full art deco glory on the northeast corner of US-83 and Route 66. Following a long-overdue and contentious $1.7-million state-funded restoration, these landmark buildings look great, but instead of selling gas or serving food, they now dispense generous portions of helpful advice, courtesy of the friendly local visitors center (806/256-2501).
To discover more about Shamrock, visit the old brown-brick Reynolds Hotel, south of Route 66 and east of US-83, where the better-than-you-might-expect Pioneer West Museum (204 N. Madden St., 806/256-3941, Mon.-Fri., free) has two dozen rooms full of bygone goodies, including the complete interiors, fixtures, and fittings of a dentist's office, Wheeler County Military-War Room, and The Old School Room. There's also an exhibit honoring Apollo astronaut Alan Bean, who lived nearby in his youth.
For a bite to eat, it's hard to do better than Big Vern's Steakhouse (200 E. 12th St., 806/256-2088), right on old Route 66.

As part of our 2017 General Election coverage, we have contacted each candidate standing in Northfield, Bromsgrove, Edgbaston and Selly Oak constituencies asking them to contribute to this election's '500 Words' series.
Each candidate has been invited to describe themselves and their campaigns in their own words. Their submissions will be published without editing, in the order that they are received. Should they be longer than 500 words, they will be cropped.
Dick Rodgers – Common Good Party / Europe Needs Us – Edgbaston
Dick Rodgers Common Good party/ Europe needs us, candidate in General Election in Birmingham Edgbaston
1. Stay in the EU.
2. We need a new spirit in the country.
Thanks for this chance to say what I stand for! The EU is a great project building a lasting peace in Europe after centuries of war and tyranny. It's achieved a lot. It's a big job. It takes time. We are still needed as part of the team. The Union is good for our neighbours. It's good for us. We should stick with it. Un-invoke Article 50!
We need to become a nation with a purpose and that purpose should be to make the world a better, fairer place to everybody. Having a shared purpose inspiring us all would change the atmosphere of the country in a very wholesome way. I want Britain to be a wonderful place to live and work. And I want us all to be energised about building up the precious things we can enjoy together. Then, with a healthy society here, we should spread our values in this world that really needs them.
I spent 6 weeks in a mock prison cell in the Bull Ring in 1986 to persuade the Soviets to release a young poetess Irina from prison camp. Brummies helped me and rejoiced at her release.
I'm a Christian clergyman and former orthopaedic assistant surgeon in Birmingham (ROH, Children's, Selly Oak and the Accident Hospital). I've spent many years campaigning for the release of prisoners in Russia and then to stop a civil war in Sudan. In 2004 I founded the Common Good party, to help our own nation find the direction and unity we so badly need. This is my 8th election.
I want to turn back the tide of privatisation to have a nation of people keen to work, inspired by the honour of public service and because they want our whole "national project" to succeed. Then we'd not need the brutal forcefulness of "driving up standards" that demeans and stresses so many people today. With a shared enlivening spirit, things will start to work.
Make the nation's money the property of the nation not of the banks. Today's deceitful system hurts people, makes houses unaffordable and starves industry of investment.
Establish the NHS on a public service model not a commercial one. Crucially, true to Bevan's original vision, include elderly care within the NHS.
Nationalise the railway, modernise it, cut the fares. Abolish student fees.
Elected Regional government for the regions of England ie the EU constituencies.
Infrastructure in public ownership specially tidal power generation. A lively industrial policy instead of our shameful negative balance of trade for the last 30 years. Use our influence to nurture a fairer world system
