Man, the Giants Stink
Recap: Well, I suppose an 0-1 day had to happen eventually, and I didn't do the Bebe crew any favors by taking a shot on a decent sized dog, but it is what it is. In retrospect, the Giants just weren't playing well enough to make that cut, but given Aaron Cook's horrid history against San Francisco, especially at Coors, I really felt we'd get a better offensive performance, and we just simply did not. The Giants are a complete mess right now, and should not be backed until they show some kind of fire. I don't apologize when a team loses (as evidenced by the Marlins ridiculous loss earlier this week), but I will apologize for this one. I gave the Giants more credit than they deserved, and that just wasn't my best call.
Today: Let's get right back to winning! We had 3 straight winning days before going 0-1 yesterday, so why not start a new 3-day winning streak (or more!) today? That's right, there's no reason "why not." And perhaps I should remind everyone, June started with a losing day, too, and turned into our best baseball month of the season by many, many units. So, with that in mind, Friday Best Bet will be up and loaded no later than about 3:30pm ET (probably earlier), and we'll see if anything makes the cut for a Freebie or two!
Sports Wagering: MLB
National League
Reds @ Cubs (-130) with a total of N/A; B. Arroyo vs. R. Dempster;
Orlando Cabrera is 4-for-6 off Dempster between '05 and '09;
Ramon Hernandez was 3-for-6 with a HR and 3 RBI between '05 and '09;
Scott Rolen was 3-for-8 with 2 RBI between '05 and '09;
Marlon Byrd is 3-for-8 with a HR and 3 RBI off Arroyo;
Mike Fontenot is 3-for-6 with a HR and 2 RBI off Arroyo;
Xavier Nady is 6-for-19 with a HR and 4 RBI off Arroyo.
Just a ton of player matchup data, and even a tiny bit more coming from Dempster's one start against Cincinnati earlier this year, in which he allowed 5 runs in 7 innings. Arroyo hasn't faced Chicago in 2010, but he is a solid 7-6 with a 3.06 ERA against the Cubbies prior to this year. Dempster is just 4-5 with a 4.18 ERA against the Reds, though his start this year did raise that number just a tad from its pre-2010 number. The Reds are a live dog, but not necessarily a winning one.
Leans: Reds-2
Mets (-120) @ Nationals with a total of 9; J. Niese vs. L. Atilano;
This line is a little on the low side, and it's our job to determine if it's low because the Nats are poised to snatch one from the Mets, or if it's low because the world still doesn't know about Jon Niese. I happen to think it's a little of both. If the world truly knew Jon Niese, even a "fishy" line would still be a little more chalky than this, since we're really one large bet away from getting this thing down near standard juice. Niese has a 12.46 ERA against the Nats in his brief career, but then, Luis Atilano has a 5.59 ERA against the Mets. I believe this line is heavily relying on the Nats winning some games at home, and Atilano continuing his recent upward trend, off 2 good starts in a row. The Mets look a bit too easy, to me.
Leans: Nationals-2
Phillies (-170) @ Pirates with a total of 9; J. Moyer vs. R. Ohlendorf;
Ohlendorf has been serviceable, but honestly, I just don't feel like there's truly enough reason to enjoy this one from a betting standpoint. Jamie Moyer is on a run of 3 straight strong outings, though he's just 2-1 with a 4.30 ERA lifetime against the Pirates. Very few decisions against this club, all things considered. Too expensive to back the Phils, and not enough reason to back the Pirates when they're not playing a team named the Cubs.
Leans: None
Marlins (-135) @ Braves with a total of 7; J. Johnson vs. K. Medlen;
Josh Johnson is just scary-good, posting, now, a 1.83 ERA on the season. Wow. Kris Medlen is having a nice season of his own, 5-1 with a 3.15 ERA, and the Braves just seem to win when he's on the mound. The Marlins haven't seen much of Medlen, outside of relief work, so tough to go on any data, there, and on the other side, the Braves have seen plenty of Johnson, but no one on the team has had consistent success. Johnson is 4-2 with a 2.74 ERA against the Braves. This total looks low, but I think it's about right, and I just wonder if the Marlins can keep hitting outside of Puerto Rico. If they do, this could be an easy win. If not, chalk on the road, with a poor team is a little dicey.
Leans: Marlins-2
Giants (-125) @ Rockies with a total of 8; T. Lincecum vs. J. Chacin;
Todd Helton is 9-for-19 off Lincecum with a HR and 2 RBI;
Chris Iannetta was 6-for-12 with a HR and 4 RBI off Lincecum.
I'll tell ya, on paper, this looks like a no-brainer, doesn't it? Tim Lincecum as just a -125 price tag? And honestly, it might just be, given that the Giants were cold as ice coming into Colorado, and the series-opener is far from over when this line came out. So, this line is based largely on Lincecum, but also largely on the Giants' struggles. On top of that, Chacin made his first start of 2010 against the Giants, and shut them out for 7 innings. Lincecum also got hit hard by the Rockies when he faced them earlier this year. This one is, to me, much more complicated that folks are going to say. I'd leave it alone.
Leans: None
Brewers @ Cardinals (-185) with a total of 8.5; C. Narveson vs. J. Garcia;
This game is only intriguing because you have Narveson, a bad pitcher coming off a tremendous start, and Garcia, a pitcher that had been nearly unhittable, coming off an awful start. Does that trend continue? It might be worth a very small play based on that alone. Of course, the Cards are pretty tough at home, so that's a point of concern, but the Brewers have been better on the road than at home this year, so perhaps that nullifies things a tad.
Leans: Brewers-1
Dodgers @ D'backs (-110) with a total of 9.5; H. Kuroda vs. E. Jackson;
REMATCH ALERT! This one is sort of a modified rematch, since they did square off on May 12, but have faced the other TEAM one other time, if that makes sense. First, Kuroda went 7 innings and gave up 3 runs (2 earned) in a 6-5 win over Dan Haren back on April 15. Next, the two did battle, Kuroda gave up 3 runs (again, 2 earned) in 7.1 innings of a 6-3 win over Jackson, who allowed all 6 runs in 6.2 innings. Finally, Jackson faced Carlos Monasterios in one of the crazy low-scoring games in LA in early June, and his 9 shutout innings weren't enough, as the Dodgers won 1-0 in extras. Jackson, as we know, is coming off the most ridiculous no-hitter in recent memory, walking the house, and throwing almost 400 pitches in the process. He was given 2 extra days to rest his arm, but with the Dodgers record against the NL West, Kuroda's success against the D'backs, and Jackson's "bonus" credibility with the public, this seems like our last chance to get a good price on the Dodgers.
Leans: Dodgers-3
Astros @ Padres (-175) with a total of 6; R. Oswalt vs. M. Latos;
Adrian Gonzalez is 6-for-15 off Oswalt with 2 HR and 6 RBI since '05.
How many people thought Roy Oswalt would be a huge dog to Mat Latos in July of this year? Oswalt, mind you, is 10-2 with a 2.74 lifetime ERA against the Padres, and Latos has made one start against the Astros in his career. Oswalt actually beat San Diego earlier this season with 8 innings of 3-run ball, but that might not be enough this time, in Petco. Mat Latos went 8 shutout innings against the Astros when these teams faced off, allowing just 2 hits in that one, and his stuff is just frightening. Latos, as a result, has one of the best WHIPs in baseball, and that's why we're not going against him, even at this inflated number.
Leans: None
American League
Blue Jays @ Yankees (-150) with a total of 10; B. Cecil vs. A. Burnett;
REMATCH ALERT! This one is a fun one, since Brett Cecil actually dominated the Yankees, and Burnett, when these guys faced off back on June 4. Cecil went 8 innings and allowed a single run, while Burnett, who has to be just pleased as punch that June is over, allowed 6 runs in 6 innings. I just wonder if we missed our chance to fade Burnett. This line is low, but it's low because of everything going on with A.J. Brett Cecil, by the way, is on a run of 3 straight terrible starts, and that's why we're seeing a total of 10 here, a full run higher than the last time these guys met in a game that ended with 7 total runs, and went under. How about that, huh?
Leans: Blue Jays-2, Over-1
Athletics (-125) @ Indians with a total of 8; G. Gonzalez vs. M. Talbot;
Gio Gonzalez is a rock solid 2-0 with a 1.62 ERA against the Indians in his short Big League career, but let's remember how much better he is at home versus on the road. Mitch Talbot has never faced the A's, but is coming off back-to-back strong starts, on the road, against two good teams in Philadelphia and Cincinnati. With Talbot trending up, and Gio Gonzalez looking positively human on the road (5.44 road ERA versus close to 2 at home), I actually think that the Indians are a very healthy canine in this one. I also like that Oakland's pen has been worse on the road, and Indians offense is super-streaky, and they pitched and hit well against the Blue Jays.
Leans: Indians-3
Mariners @ Tigers (-145) with a total of 8.5; D. Fister vs. M. Scherzer;
Jack Wilson is 2-for-4 off Scherzer;
Johnny Damon is 3-for-7 off Fister.
Well, I suppose this is about as good as it's going to get. Some of the best money out there comes from fading the Tigers on the road, but there's a reason those lines are still so nice, and it's because Detroit wins games at home. Scherzer's been pitching much better since his return from the Minors, and while he doesn't go that deep in games (too many strikeouts and walks), he's keeping the Tigers in almost every start, and while Detroit isn't winning all of them, he's been decent both at home and on the road. Fister looked crummy in his first start off the disabled list, and I fear he may be in for more trouble. Can we afford Detroit at this price, though?
Leans: Tigers-2
Orioles @ Red Sox (-240) with a total of 10.5; B. Bergesen vs. T. Wakefield;
Miguel Tejada is 12-for-27 with a HR and 4 RBI off Wakefield since '05;
Marco Scutaro is 3-for-6 with 2 RBI off Bergesen.
Interestingly, Brad Bergesen is 3-4 with a 6.83 ERA on the season, but he's 1-1 with a 3.79 ERA against the Red Sox in his career. So, he tends to pitch alright against them. Still, these are the Orioles, and even though Wakefield has been a huge disappointment this year, they are the injured Red Sox. This line is way out of our league on a favorite, and I'm not about to start backing the Orioles indiscriminately, not in a game they probably won't win, even if the price is decent.
Leans: None
White Sox @ Rangers (-185) with a total of 9.5; F. Garcia vs. C. Lewis;
REMATCH ALERT! How's this for a surprising rematch? Did you think Freddy Garcia and Colby Lewis had really faced off? I can tell you I forgot about it. In any case, Garcia won the early match, a tight ballgame that ended 4-3 in favor of the Pale Hose. Garcia gave up 3 runs (2 earned) in 7 strong innings. In that same game, Colby Lewis gave up 4 runs in 6.1 innings, so it was all decided by the starters. The White Sox are definitely equilibrating off that long win streak, and while they might look like a nice deal at this price, I'm not sure it's the right time to take a shot on 'em.
Leans: None
Rays (-122) @ Twins with a total of 8; D. Price vs. S. Baker;
Carl Crawford is 3-for-7 with a HR off Baker;
Evan Longoria is 4-for-6 with a HR and 4 RBI off Baker.
David Price is 1-0 with a 1.42 ERA against the Twins, and 11-3 with a 2.44 ERA on the season. I know the Rays haven't exactly been dominant lately after a strong start, but Scott Baker is 1-2 with a 5.30 ERA against Tampa Bay in his career, and as you can see, Evan Longoria has hit him very, very hard. Baker's been struggling and Price has not, and I know it's the public side, given the way the Rays have been playing and the big name of their starting pitcher, but I really think this is a nice Price tag (rim shot time, here). Okay, lame puns aside, this line is low because of the Rays weak recent play, not some sort of trap.
Leans: Rays-3
Royals @ Angels (-165) with a total of 9; K. Davies vs. J. Saunders;
Alberto Callaspo is 3-for-6 off Saunders with an RBI;
Jose Guillen is 5-for-10 off Saunders since '05;
Torii Hunter is 5-for-15 with a HR and 4 RBI off Davies.
This is too expensive to back Saunders, and not enough reason to back Davies. Saunders is 3-0 against Kansas City, and Davies is 1-1 with a 4.80 ERA against the Angels, not to mention 4-6 with a 6.06 ERA on the season. I know the Royals can hit, and they very well much tough Saunders up for some runs. I also know their pen has been tremendous, lately, but it's just not worth venturing into this one, to me.
Leans: None

This time however, my focus was to get a cake, no way I was going to bother myself thinking about how it appeared. Reason- she would have to cut it in pastries to carry back home. She asked me to keep the frosting to minimum so that she could easily pack it.

175 gm All purpose flour
50 gm cocoa powder
113 gm /4 oz butter at room temperature
100 gm of beaten curd (sour)
1 tbsp corn starch slurry
125 gm sugar (crystal)
2 tbsp warm milk
1 tspn baking powder
1/4 tspn baking soda
1 tspn vanilla essence
For chocolate frosting
1 semi sweet chocolate bar(I used small bournville)
1 tbsp cocoa powder
50 gm butter
100 gm Icing sugar
1) Sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda and baking powder together.
2) In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Slowly add the curd and continue beating.
3) Add the corn starch slurry and mix well.
4) Fold in the flour mixture and vanilla essence
5) Line the cake tin wiwth parchment paper and pour the cake batter.
6) Bake for 20-25 min in a preheated oven at 180c.
7) In a bowl, melt the chocolate by double boiling or microwaving on high for 30 seconds. Add the remaining ingredients and beat well with a whisk.
8) Let the cake cool on wire rack. Cut it horizontally and place the uneven layer below. Pour half the frosting on it and sandwich it.
9) Pour the remaining frosting on top and cover well. Add whipped cream on top if you lie.
|Leave it in refrigerator to cool down and for the frosting to set

Like the most people are beginning an online business, you absolutely consider which platform is better to sell your product through the internet.
Someone comes to an agency and pay for him to build All-in-one their website if money is not an important issue. On the other hand, if you don't want to spend an amount of money for it and want to more control for when it comes to customizing your shop, your look towards to "Which is eCommerce Platform is better".
There are more and more eCommerce Platforms can be compatible with your demand, two of them are PrestaShop and WooCommerce is so popular. So let me compare it via this article below.
1. PrestaShop and WooCommerce – Design Options
To be honest, the design is an important trait when choosing an eCommerce Platform. Someone has visited your website, he leaves or stays strong depending on how your website's design.
PrestaShop Design Options
PrestaShop offers numerous storefront enhancements which have played a big role in sprucing up the front end design options for their users. It also has large categories of extensions which not enhance the functionality in admin, SEO, security,… but also extremely beautiful the website design.
- Theme: Available on the official website store with 1300+ themes, 390+ themes on ThemeForest and 1000+ Templates on Template Monster.
- Implementation: Prestashop is built using the Smarty framework. So, if you know a little bit of HTML and CSS, you can crack the design on your own.
- Mobile friendliness: Prestashop provides to you multiple options: responsible or mobile theme.
WooCommerce Design Options
If you come to the world of WooCommerce design, I gurantee that you will totally surprise by its diversity and beauty as well. WooCommerce was owned by WordPress, this means the WordPress Devs can integrate into any theme which you can select something to add to your store. I will detail it for you by the following sentences:
- Theme: When we think of themes, our mind usually takes us to WordPress themes. But you can also look into marketplaces like ThemeForest. There are over 6000 themes designed for WordPress; almost every one of these can be modified to work with Woocommerce.
- Implementation: The design style of WooCommerce can be fixed from within the theme itself, by paramount the plugins templates
- Mobile friendliness: Almost all the Woocommerce themes are responsive now so in case you want to use a mobile version, you totally can do it.
2. What About Pricing?
WooCommerce and PrestaShop, are all Open Source eCommerce solution. Both of them come in two editions: as a cloud-based ecommerce system and as a downloadable platform. If you want more than the basic, PrestaShop and WooCommerce offer price for a theme, for a module as well as other extensions and updates. Let talk about that!
As you can see, WooCommerce seems to be more reasonable pricing than PrestaShop. It costs you about 55$ for a theme, 35$ on Codecanyon and 110$ on the WooThemes official website (Avarage price for a module). And it is quite expensive with with the equivalent items of PrestaShop.
3. Documentation and training
WooCommerce – Docs and training
There is a hug of documentation available on the WooCommerce website. In general, WooCommerce and WordPress docs are very specular and easy to use. They provide almost every idea, error, or plugin can be found on Google within a few clicks. You can find every documentation on the WordPress Codex and at Woothemes docs too. The wordpress.org forum is very active, it help you find the answers to tricky questions very fast.
But the disadvantage of WooComerce is about Tranining docs. There is not any WooCommerce training Official. However, you should not worry because of huge community WooCommerce support that you can ask everything then get your best answer quickly. Other way is to try some courses on Udemy or Lynda about WooCommerce Training.
PrestaShop – Docs and Training
Realistically, the documentation of Prestashop is not very comprehensive. Although it has a large quantity of documentation available but it lacks some essential elements that can help developers and store owners to fix their problems faster. In addition, about SEO optimization, the forum may be not well as your expectation so be careful when posting a question.
But the competitive advantage of Prestashop is the training courses. It provides a series of official training courses for different levels of experience. But it is quite expensive, price range is from 800$ to 1000$.
That's all about Prestashop and WooCommerce comparison. As long as you go with whichever one suits your needs the best, you'll have made the right decision.
Which eCommerce Platform are you coming up? Please contact us soon about your choice.

InsideOUT 3/6/13: The First Religion One
We decided to bite the bullet today and have, the first of many, religion shows. We attempted to discuss, both DJ Shane's and DJ Dictionary's, experiences with religion and where we stand today. We thought the only effective way to have this show would be to first layout where we as hosts are coming from. This show was incredibly brief because how do you discuss something that has so many dimensions in one short hour of time. We got to hear DJ Shane's experience and a few short moments of DJ Dictionary's. We will continue to discuss this important topic on future shows. Thanks for listening!!

Feefo Gold Service award, an independent seal of excellence that recognises businesses for delivering exceptional experiences, as rated by real customers.
13 Apr 2018
Clients often ask us if a board will significantly improve their chances of selling, especially as the majority of (but not all) buyers source property online. Some sellers feel that a board risks "overexposure", or they don't want their neighbours to know they are selling.
However, experience tells us that properties with boards are far more saleable than without, for the following reasons:
· Portal, website and newspaper adverts cannot adequately relay the "feel of an area", so buyers cruise around, inevitably taking note of properties advertised with a board.
· Viewing-weary buyers are not patient people! When viewing a selection of properties, a board ensures that yours is easily found.
· A buyer is unlikely to make an offer on no.56 when a board at no.24 suggests a comparable property is available and should be seen before a decision is made.
· A board demonstrates that you are a genuine seller, and not just "testing the market".
· Buyers responding to a board in an unpopular area or noisy road are likely to be especially keen, as they have already accepted a major disadvantage of the property.
· Neighbours will know you are selling when they see people viewing your house even without a board, and could even be offended that you were not more open with them. Neighbours are also a fantastic source of referred buyers.
In a competitive property market, a board is surely one of the finest marketing tools at your estate agent's disposal. If you wish to discuss some of the other less obvious ones, please feel free to call us on 0191 5103323.

urrently showing at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome, the exhibition Looking Forward. Olivetti: 110 di immaginazione (lit. 110 years of imagination) celebrates Olivetti's 110th birthday, the iconic Italian firm known for its typewriters.
In Riccardo Delleani's words, who is the CEO of Olivetti: "With its ability to foresee the future, Olivetti has played a crucial role in shaping industrial history, changing the life of entire generations as well as challenging the role of businesses with brave ethical choices and raising social awareness".
Overseen by Ilaria Bussoni, Manolo De Giorgi and Nicolas Martino, the exhibition illustrates with 300 one-of-a-kind pieces (such as objects, billboards and period photographs) the history of a firm that has left an undeniable mark on the world of Italian design, from graphics to technological innovation and communications as well.
The exhibition itinerary is split in two parts: Raccolta visiva (lit. visual collection), "modernity" is the underlying thread of this brief look at Olivetti and Disegnare la vita (lit. designing life) that tells the company's story through photographs, billboards and writing retrieved by the archive of the Associazione Archivio Storico Olivetti.
Photographs by Cartier- Bresson, Gianni Berengo Gardin, Fulvio Roiter; billboards by Giovanni Pintori (that date from the late fifties) as well as the brand's famous products such as the M1, the first typewriter, the Lettera22, the iconic portable mechanical typewriter that in 1954 won the Compaddo d'Oro award. The exhibition takes us back in time and makes us experience the evolution of Olivetti, from the beginning of the twentieth century to the digital age with the Form200 cash register, namely the first product to be designed as part of the Olivetti Design Contenst that involved several of the top European design universities.
The exhibition curators invite the public to "look ahead", as in their one hundred year-long history, Olivetti was able to image the future that lay ahead as well as fostering innovation.
Where: Galleria Nazionale di Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, 31 Viale delle Belle Arti, Rome, Italy
When: ongoing – 1 May 2018

What, you mean you still listen to me on matters of predicting sport, particularly baseball? I've been horrifically wrong since the playoffs got started. I think I picked one series right throughout this whole thing.
Given the advantage American League teams have over the representatives from the National League right now, I was always going to choose whatever AL team happened to make it out of the blocks. The bottom third of Philadelphia's order makes this easier — you're looking at either Pedro Feliz or Greg Dobbs in the third-base platoon, then Carlos Ruiz, and the pitcher's spot in Philly for games 3-5, and this is a team with some decent, but not great candidates, to DH (thinkiing either Dobbs or Matt Stairs). Tampa has more flexibility and won't lose as much when they have to go to the pitcher hitting. Going through B.J. Upton, Carlos Pena, Evan Longoria, and Carl Crawford is no easy task.
As for those pitchers, would you rather take Cole Hamels and Brett Myers, or the combination of Scott Kazmir, Matt Garza, Andy Sonnanstine, and James Shields? While Philly has an advantage if they take a lead into the 8th and 9th innings with Brad Lidge, their third and fourth starters (Jamie Moyer and Joe Blanton) are vulnerable. Hamels should be pitching three games in this series, and if he loses one of them, the Phillies are likely sunk.
Philly has the offensive advantage, but I'm going with the Rays in 6 when their starting pitching wins out.

One of the pure joys of this strip has been writing Gladys Meddleson. Originally she wasn't even a character, but as I started the first couple of practice strips, before launch day, she was just there.
I used here for that one strip, then started to work through my original outline ideas. I quickly realized that she could play major parts in the strip later so I included here in another strip as a set up for the New Pets storyline (yes this idea was in my head way back at that early date.)
As the strip continued I began to see more places to use her. She sort of began to have a life of here own. I had always heard about characters that write themselves without much effort. Gladys appears to be one of those characters and I am enjoying writing her very much.
Some days I think a solo strip with her might be awesome, if only I had more time.
Read – Enjoy – Pass It On,

This is the series of images from the adoption intake process. In this series, I follow one racer "Ella," renamed "Bella" right away by her volunteer foster family for her beautiful, haunting, heartbreaking gaze.

We develop and build fully integrated infotainment systems
as full car radio replacement units. Our ENV-LT
Systems increase the
safety, with full sourround sound output, bluetooth, Wifi and optional
GSM (SIM Card based Cell Phone Modem) built directly into each system.
Knowing that our customers want more we have also developed a "TRUzone™"
system. This offers a second independently controlled second set of Headrests monitors or a large size Roof Mount monitor (roof mount coming soon). For more detail on this system check the TRUzone page.
Although the ENV-LT may be tiny, approximately 1.77"x4.25"x6.61" (45x108x168mm),
it is a fully functional computer! The Intel Core Duo processor, 160GB hard drive and 1GB RAM, allow you to store and easily access all your music, movies, videos, pictures, etc. You no longer have to worry about lugging around and scratching up your expensive CDs and DVDs. Furthermore, the ENV-LT has several built-in such as WiFi (with external antenna), Dual Soundcards, Dual FM/RDS/TMC Radio Tuners, Integrated GPS receiver (including antenna), and many more!
Making the computer external from the In-Dash unit allows the
system to be more easily installed in a variety of vehicles and is open
to various configurations. The ENV-LT connects to your ENV In-Dash Unit
and your TRUzone Kit with just ONE wire each. This allows the system
to be installed without having to heavily modify the interior of your
The ENV-LT is designed to work in all automotive environments and
even has a harddrive heater for cold-weather conditions. The system
automatically powers on when you start your ignition and the
programmable shutdown timer allows you to choose how long your system
will stay powered when you turn your ignition off.
The ENV-LT is truly a power house in today's automotive entertainment options!
OBD-II (Engine Diagnostics System) = From those engine lights and
trouble codes to sending unit outputs. Simply install our OBDII by
plugging into one of your system's USB ports and your car's OBDII port
and you will be able to see all your engine specs in real-time.
You now have a hidden OBDII system that works directly
in your touchscreen interface. The preloaded software allows you to
view real-time data in addition to a series of standardized trouble
codes that you, or your mechanic, can then identify and repair. The
software even allows you to clear trouble codes.
Rear View Camera/ Reverse Parking System... Parallel parking, backing
up large
vehicles or parking in tight spaces can be a hazard to your vehicle
and at times your safety. You can avoid these common parking lot
collisions by installing the ENV Parking System. This system features
Sonar Technology in 4 wide angle sensors. Each sensor has a separate
indicator, on your In-Dash screen, so you know exactly which sensor has
detected an obstacle in your path. The range of each sensor is 1-5 feet
(a great feature for delivery vans and fleet vehicles). When activated,
the sensors will sound an audible alert (volume controlled) that
increases as your vehicle gets close to the object, at the same time
your screen will display a graphic of each sensor and the proximity of
each to any obsticles. OR if your path is clear the display will be
clear and you can move freely in the area.

As fall approaches and the leaves on your trees begin to change colors, there is one question pool owners ask themselves every year, "Should I close my pool for winter or leave it open?" Sure, there are certainly benefits and drawbacks to both. However, closing your pool is a personal decision. What one pool owner decides may not be the best option for your pool.
If you're unsure and at a loss at what to do with your pool this year, don't worry. We are breaking down the pros and cons to keeping your pool open during the winter. (more…)

Almost four years ago now I posted about the Hong Kong Panorama publications that coincided with the HKIFF between 1997 and 2003. I now have the 96-97, 97-98, 98-99 and 00-01 issues to go alongside the 99-00 one featured in that post.
I'll be taking a closer look at the individual issues over the coming weeks, beginning with the 96-97 issue. Look out for part 2 soon.

Events tourism
A significant motive for year round visits by guests is also event tourism. The Tourist Board of the Primorje-Gorski kotar County has dedicated special attention to this type of tourism by issuing an events calendar titled "From day to day" through the tourist information provider "Kvarner info" which is issued in 8 languages and is the basic source of information about the region and manifestations and is updated and reprinted quarterly.
There is a wide selection of events significant to the enrichment of the tourist offer and extension of the season. From manifestations connected with culture (music festivals, concerts, exhibitions, competitions, press), sport (regattas, endurance, mountain car racing, motorcycling, water skiing, parachuting, cross bowing etc.), tradition (carnivals, folklore, gastronomy…), through to development of tourism (support for eco-centres, national parks and nature parks, improvement of places, walking and cycling trails, mountaineering trails…) to manifestations connected to the fruits of nature (Marunada – chestnut festival, Days of cherries, Days of asparagus, Days of mountain fruits…).
Tourist offer events start in January and February with carnival activities which culminate in one of the largest and most recognisable European carnivals – the Rijeka carnival. The cities of Rijeka and Novi Vinodolski are members of the International Association of Carnival Cities which most vividly indicates the importance, in a tourist sense, of these events founded on traditions and within whose framework are a whole series of traditional manifestations like the zvončari (bell ringing) in Kastav and Matulja, Muna, Žejana…to the Opatija Balinjerade, International Carnival Day and Children's Carnival Promenade. These are followed by entertainment-musical, gastronomy and sports events, which upon the approach of Easter and the pre-season, especially the main tourist season, increase in numbers and grow into a fireworks of attractive tourist events in the summer months.
On one side they are characterised by being an offer for everyone, while on the other hand, being of high quality for even those most demanding of guests. Along with popular fisherman's evenings in most tourist localities, here too are manifestations and festivals like the Osor musical evenings, Summer performances and Festivals of Krk, Rab musical evenings, Lubeničkih musical evenings, Summers in Frankopan in Kraljevica, International summer carnival in Novi Vinodolski, Liburnia jazz festival in Opatija, Kastaf summer, Rab knightly games, Fruits of the mountain in Gorski kotar, Days of music on Mali Lošinj, events on the Opatija Summer stage, etc. The annual finale of all the events according to tradition is in Mali Lošinj, when in the last four days of the current year the traditional international competition in underwater fishing is held.

Verizon accidentally announced the newest Samsung cellphone. There's no press release yet and Verizon's product pages don't list it anymore, but SlashGear got this screen shot before the page was taken down.
The Zeal is one of the latest phones to have 2 screens, only in this case one screen is E-ink and one is LCD. But aside from the E-ink screen, this is a rather ordinary phone. It has a 2.6" LCD screen, Bluetooth, 2MP camera, and the usual media abilities.
There's no word yet on price or availability.

Yet More Skyrim Mods
Pages 1 2 NEXT
Overhaul Skyrim's interface to be PC-friendly
Love me some Skyrim mods.
As superficial as this makes me sound, even though the environmental mods are a must, my personal favs are the ones that change skin/facial textures. My character looks -freakin sweet-; eye candy ahoy. For some reason I cannot stand playing as an ugly/brutish character
I may have gone overboard though. I've lost like 15 FPS since vanilla (pre mods) >_>
I think it's great to see The Escapist devoting some real time to cover PC related stuff. Great work with these posts, Mr. Tito.
Incidentally, no chance of you being on the 3 Moves Ahead podcast anytime soon? I enjoyed your previous adventures in strategy gaming talking. :D
I'm on the 360 so I cannot download any of these but I'll just say, I would kill/do whatever sexual favour you wished me to do to have the mod that puts roads on the map.
It would make it so much fucking easier to get around.
These are some pretty good mods, but I'm just sad that no one, especially fans of Morrowind, is giving any proper attention to the Weapons of the Third Era mod.
I play on console, but I love looking for cool Skyrim mods. That's not weird is it? <_<
Awesome mods. Hope these articles continue after the creation kit releases, when the floodgates of awesome mods are fully open.
I've actually downloaded some these mods but haven't had the time installed yet. Keeping up with the Skyrim mod community is like a full time job in itself.
Keep it up on the best mods. I check almost everyday on the nexus for new mods, but sometimes I miss good ones. At least I can get the highlights here.
Uhg WHY do I have to be stuck with the 360 version? And I've already asked my parents for a Mac when I graduate college. Everyone else has realistic ice and user friendly menus while I'm stuck with unkillable brats and an unfuckable wife.
My Skyrim is slowly becoming an incredibly ODD land where My Little Pony is popular enough soldiers paint them on their shields and even the most murderous criminals sport pony blankets on their beds.
A world where the moon is a Death Star, you can slaughter a town and the revive them as a zombie horde, crabs talk like Dr. Zoidberg, Buster Swords exist, children are not immortal, monsters are far more powerful, and dragons make short work of the defending forces of a town and are to be feared by even the most accomplished dragon born.
With every mod it's slowly changing from Skyrim to my own personal fantasy land.
Granted, I understand the mods you're using/talking about are more focused around actual technical/interface things (gotta admit, I would LOVE that map mod, but alas I play on an XBox, so no mods for me), but come on! How can you not enjoy Dragon Man Randy Savage? Once you get to a certain level of strength in Skyrim, dragons become more of an annoyance than a threat...something you sigh and say "Well I guess before I can talk to this quest giver I've got a giant reptilian gnat to go crush..." But with the Macho Man mod, at least it makes them funny and entertaining to fight! :P
The only downside is that you would end up humming/whistling the Game of Thrones main theme every time you opened the map. And you open the map quite a lot.
Good calls. Most of these I've already done. TESV and the Categorized favorites menu are up there with (qdInventory -> SkyUI) when it comes to improving the functionality of the game on the PC. The performance benefit of TESV acceleration is quite visible in cities with ZERO downside other than maintaining the mod.
If you haven't already, maybe you might want to look at and comment on the Nexus mod manager, and "Realistic Lighting Without Post-processing". The latter made me wonder if my graphical settings were switched from high to ultra it looked so much better. I don't know why I wondered that, because I had already switched between high and ultra and couldn't really tell the difference except for better framerates on high so I went with that. The latest version of "Realistic Lighting" is too dark, but it gives an interesting mood. Actually, fighting a dragon on a dark night is very cool, putting me right in the movie Dragonslayer.
Where are all those "I am buying Skyrim on the 360 because X (360 fanboy)" now? Everyone was crapping on the PC crowd before this game came out. Well, vindication is sweet. MODS ARE WHY YOU BUY ON PC.
Alright, now I don't have to scream the weather away so that it won't lag during a dragon fight in a crowded city.
And this is why I do my gaming on the PC. Mods can make a good game great and a great game fantastic.
Looks up from playing Shift 2 with nude mod...
What? It's the cars that are nude. Ooooo yeah, show me that bare metal, baby.
So does this series of articles bring hope of future coverage of mods for mod-friendly games or are they just a byproduct of your passion for Skyrim?
Also, will this series last beyond the release of the official mod tools and you have to wade through extensive amounts of crap to find anything worthwhile? ;)
And still no mention of Thuumic?
Seriously Thuumic, it's a thousand times better than any of these mods.
EDIT: Link
About the Acceleration Layer, currently it conflicts with one of the script-mod tools, ScriptDragon, meaning you can't use any of the mods that depend on it. SkyBoost is essentially the same as the Acc. Layer (ie, does the same optimisations, etc), except it doesn't conflict with ScriptDragon.
My main problem with that mod is that it leaves out a lot of the ornamentation/decoration the Morrowind weapons had.
Maybe you should try linking it?
Sweet. I have plenty of mods to make the place look nice, but I'd struggled to find a decent map mod. However, I'd definitely recommend the World Map - Skyrim Hold Borders instead. It's based on the road map and made in collaboration with that modder, but adds in hold borders (surprise!) as well.
Ummmmmmmm, is this some kind of new column ? "New 3 Skyrim mods since last update ?".
Err yeah, good idea.
WTF? Why did Bethesda leave compiler optimizations turned off :S
I goddamn LOVE mods. I'm still addicted to modding the everloving hell out of New Vegas - TalkieToaster's robotics mod is my current love... And Oblivion? I don't think there was anything in that game that hadn't been modded, for me. Bethesda and modding go hand in hand - but, you know? Vanilla Skyrim is one of the most fantastic worlds I have entered in a long time.
There is just one thing about these columns I don't like; all of the goddamn bitching, whining people who appear to say "Durr, I can't believe Bethesda crapped all over the game and it took SO MUCH MODDING to make the game BEARABLE."
Vanilla Skyrim is amazing. I have already logged 80-odd hours playing it and I'm not bored yet. That's not unbearable. That's a freaking amazing job.
(What is with this tiny replay box...?)
I love this article series, but I'm afraid that it might run out of steam soon if you're gonna completely stay clear of every silly or unrealistic mod. I haven't really spent much time on the nexus, but I'm guessing that the majority of original mods fall under that category?
I feel this might be a good place to mention a work in progress I've been following for a while.
Check it out. A lot of it actually look quite stonking great.
Just give me werecrocs for Argonians so I can complete the companions quest line without constantly having :
sweet, now if only NMM wasn't still such a horrible tool this would have been easy to install as well.
I know it is not much but the one which removes Lydia's line "I am sworn to carry your burdens" is gold. Also I will 100% be downloading this as the PC interface was shit it felt very consolised and then not remade for a kb+m.
Oooh...this looks really, really nice. When I get around to modding my game, I'm going to want to remember this one. Thanks for the heads-up.
Now, it is my belief that some of these mods should be transferred to the consoles.
to the makers of the acceleration layer: I'm grateful that at least someone is paying attention to reducing software bloat.
Seriously, all for better graphics and whatnot, but It seems like a lot of developers are just gobbling up computer resources (e.g. firefox is a RAM glutton) because they are there and not bothering to make programs efficient.
Anytime. :)
That and games like Crysis, even the console version of the game cannot compare it the PC version.
Anyways, LET THE MODS COME! Werewolf armor! Dragon mounts! Online co-op! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! LET THE MODS FLOW LIKE MEAD!
funnily enough, I have every single mod on this list, and I can say they are all worth the effort of downloading, original skyrim is good, with mods it's great

How to Combine InMail with Other Tactics to Boost Your Response Rates
May 30, 2018
In all things, balance is essential.
This truism certainly extends to sales prospecting. The most successful strategies involve an integrated combination of channels and activities, with each reinforcing another and contributing to a well-rounded lead gen methodology.
In this post, we'll cover how you can use LinkedIn InMail in conjunction with other sales outreach tactics to keep your pipeline healthy and strong.
LinkedIn InMail Strategy: A Multi-Pronged Approach
InMail is a valuable communication channel for B2B sellers. An active and helpful presence on LinkedIn can help you gain familiarity among B2B buyers; InMail offers a means to reach out to these potential buyers and capitalize.
While we'd suggest that InMail should often be your first choice for outreach, it doesn't need to be your only one.
InMail and Email
One of the biggest problems with sales prospecting emails is that they are often out-of-the-blue, bearing minimal relevance or meaningfulness to the recipient amidst everything else in their inbox.
When you engage someone through InMail, you reach them in a more fitting context, on a platform where they already converse and network professionally. Plus, they can see your name and face and can click on your profile to learn more about you. In an impersonal world of digital interactions, this matters.
Take cues from the content someone shares, or past interactions, to customize your message and tailor it to the person you are reaching out to. It's always advisable to start off your InMail by referencing a topic or theme you've identified as a priority for them based on research.
Offering fresh insights, or pointing to a new study, can be good ways to establish yourself as a helpful resource and earn a response.
There's a reason that — according to data featured in our new guide, Read Me If You Want to Improve Your InMail Response Rates on LinkedIn — InMail generates a 300% higher chance of soliciting a response than email. But this doesn't mean you should simply push email aside. It still has its place in a balanced approach.
Some sales consultants experience an 8% increase in contact-to-meeting ratios when combining InMail with a minimum of one additional contact method. Email is one of the most common alternatives to mix in.
If you have a prospect's email address, consider following up through that channel after a few days if you haven't heard back on your InMail. Refer back to your original message to reduce that "out-of-the-blue" vibe.
InMail and Phone Outreach
Cold calling has gone out of style, but that doesn't mean dialing up a prospect can't be effective. We all prefer different communication channels, and it's possible someone received both your InMail and email, only to find it easier to answer your call or return your voicemail.
Depending on your industry and other factors, placing a call at the same time you send an InMail could boost your conversion rate. Or you may opt to call two weeks later when following up. Experiment to find out which approach works best for you and your prospects.
InMail as Part of a Social Selling Strategy
At its core, social selling is about building relationships and helping others. Empathy, interest in collaboration, and a problem-solving mindset are characteristics you can easily convey through InMail. Combining other channels like email and phone will improve your chances of getting a response.
With a balanced prospecting strategy, your response rates can soar.

Uncle Ned is the uncle of Forgetful Jones.
He appears at the end of the "This is Your Story" segment on Sesame Street, where Forgetful tries to identify each member of his family by just listening to their voice. While he assumes that every member he tries to recall is his uncle, Forgetful finally meets his Uncle Ned (only to forget that he knows him).

Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare
Genre: Young Adult / Fantasy
Page Count: 699 pages
Publication Date: May 2017
Goodreads Summary:
Would you trade your soul mate for your soul?
A Shadowhunter's life is bound by duty. Constrained by honor. The word of a Shadowhunter is a solemn pledge, and no vow is more sacred than the vow that binds parabatai, warrior partners—sworn to fight together, die together, but never to fall in love.
Emma Carstairs has learned that the love she shares with her parabatai, Julian Blackthorn, isn't just forbidden—it could destroy them both. She knows she should run from Julian. But how can she when the Blackthorns are threatened by enemies on all sides?
Their only hope is the Black Volume of the Dead, a spell book of terrible power. Everyone wants it. Only the Blackthorns can find it. Spurred on by a dark bargain with the Seelie Queen, Emma; her best friend, Cristina; and Mark and Julian Blackthorn journey into the Courts of Faerie, where glittering revels hide bloody danger and no promise can be trusted. Meanwhile, rising tension between Shadowhunters and Downworlders has produced the Cohort, an extremist group of Shadowhunters dedicated to registering Downworlders and "unsuitable" Nephilim. They'll do anything in their power to expose Julian's secrets and take the Los Angeles Institute for their own.
When Downworlders turn against the Clave, a new threat rises in the form of the Lord of Shadows—the Unseelie King, who sends his greatest warriors to slaughter those with Blackthorn blood and seize the Black Volume. As dangers close in, Julian devises a risky scheme that depends on the cooperation of an unpredictable enemy. But success may come with a price he and Emma cannot even imagine, one that will bring with it a reckoning of blood that could have repercussions for everyone and everything they hold dear.
My Thoughts:
Ugh, feelings! So many feelings…
And I have questions! So many questions!
How in the world am I supposed to wait 2 WHOLE YEARS to find out what happens in the end?
I love the characters in this series, and not just the Blackthorns (which includes Emma, even if she's not technically a Blackthorn), I love them as if they were real people, provoking real feelings and making me cry real tears.
I loved how there were all these different story lines that came together every now and again, but that miraculously didn't leave me confused at all. It actually makes the book a whole lot more interesting! The pace is great, you're never bored!
Is this book perfect? No! There were typos throughout the book (which is surprising since I'm sure the publishing house would have hired a professional to proofread it before its release), and yes, typos drive me crazy! It distracts me from the story. I see typos as a dark, cruel slip of the finger that sucks me back into reality. And I hate that! Anyway… (let me compose myself and try to remember that this is not a ranting post).
Another reason why Lord of Shadows was not perfect is that it is unnecessarily long! Why write 699 pages when you can tell the exact same story in about half as many pages?!
But the story was just so epic that these little things didn't bug me as much as they normally would.
I'm not sure if I love or absolutely despise Cassandra Clare for how this book ended. What kind of an ending was that?! I won't say anything about it because this is a spoiler-free review, but man oh man, what a cliffhanger!
Even if you didn't like Lady Midnight that much, please please please read Lord of Shadows! You will NOT regret it!

As expected, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission recently updated its Money Market Reform Frequently Asked Questions release (FAQ). The following are the most significant changes made to the FAQ.
Form N-CR
Form N-CR was created under the 2014 amendments to the money market rules (2014 Amendments) and requires reporting to the SEC and fund website disclosure in the case of certain material events affecting money market funds. The instructions to Form N-CR provide certain exceptions to the reporting requirements, including contributions by fund advisers and sponsors to correct operational errors and similar kinds of actions that are not intended to stabilize the liquidity or value of a money market fund due to investment losses. The staff has clarified in the FAQ that:
- A fund board may determine in advance that certain routine contributions will not constitute "financial support" of a money market fund; and
- No reports on Form N-CR are required where fund sponsors make capital contributions to top up a money market fund converting to a $1.0000 floating net asset value (NAV) so that all shareholders receive the same value per share at the time of the fund's transition from a stable NAV to a floating NAV. The contributions must be made before the October 16, 2016 compliance date for the new rules.
Form N-1A
The SEC staff corrected a mistake in its original FAQ on the use of a Rule 485(b) filing to reflect ongoing historical disclosure regarding the imposition of liquidity fees and redemption gates. The original FAQ stated that this disclosure should be reflected in a Rule 485(a) filing.
Beneficial Ownership
The beneficial ownership test for purposes of retail money market fund investors has been one of the more problematic issues for the industry since the release of the first FAQ. The 2014 Amendments require that a retail money market fund limit its investors to beneficial owners who are "natural persons." The updated FAQ clarifies that an account that is managed by an institutional decision maker may still be considered a retail investor as long as the natural person has sole or shared investment power over the shares. In addition, the staff believes that voting power may be unrelated to the power to redeem securities and therefore would "not be significant when determining beneficial ownership." Fund procedures therefore are not required to include voting power as a determinant for the beneficial ownership test.
The staff will also allow forfeiture or suspense accounts maintained by defined contribution plans to remain invested in a retail money market fund as long as they are used "solely to facilitate plan administration and operations."
The updated FAQ also answered a new question related to whether an account that has been escheated to state custody may remain invested in a retail money market fund. In this situation, the staff stated that as long as the missing owner has a right to reclaim the escheated property, it will not object to the account remaining invested in the retail money market fund.
Fees and Gates
A new question was posed and answered in the updated FAQ as to whether a redemption gate imposed by a money market fund would be considered an "emergency" for the purposes of some fund charters that explicitly provide that a fund may suspend redemptions only in the case of an emergency. The staff responded that, in its view, a redemption gate is allowed only under "extraordinary circumstances," which would in all likelihood constitute an "emergency."
One of the Rule 2a-7 diversification rules under the 2014 Amendments requires a money market fund to treat two or more issuers as one single issuer if one issuer is controlled by, or under common control with, the other issuer. A question arose as to whether a state, municipal or foreign government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities would be considered controlled by, or under common control with, another entity. The updated FAQ provides that as long as a governmental entity does not issue voting securities, it will not be considered to be controlled by or under common control with another governmental entity. Accordingly, government money market fund procedures should require an analysis of this factor before investment.
Should you have any questions about this alert, please feel free to call or email your contact within our Investment Management Group.

This week was restaurant week in DC. Lanie, Beth and I went to a romantic French restaurant on the Senate side called Bistro Cacao. All in all I give the food a 7, but the service and decor were fabulous. Both 10s!

The famous Bruce Lee spoke eloquently on life and learning. Here is one of his most famous quotes on being like water:
There are several layers to uncover in the meaning of this seemingly simple metaphor.
"Empty your mind."
We can only clear our minds if we let go of our thoughts, feelings and habits. This is an extremely difficult notion to take on especially at the beginning of a new school year.
"Be formless. Shapeless. Like water."
In order to be formless we must let go of our preconceived ideas, our emotions and our false perceptions of what is happening. The only way to adapt to anything is to be open to anything and be completely present. Our students need this from us.
"You put water into a cup. It becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle. It becomes the bottle. You put water into a teapot. It becomes the teapot."
Our expectations will give a definite form to everything that happens in our classrooms. They will shape how we respond to everything. Most importantly our students. Those who come in excited to be in school to those who are tired, hungry and not ready for our expectations. We have to set high expectations for all students but remember that they will need to take on many different forms.
"Water can flow or it can crash."
Think about the impact we have as teachers on our students. We can help students build a learning environment in school that flows over any obstacles. We can help them break down barriers to their learning with a force as powerful as a wave crashing over a rocky coastline. We can adapt to the many differing needs of our students.
The wise Bruce Lee has a lot to offer as we get ready to begin a new school year. I wonder how being honest with ourselves influences our ability to do what he is proposing. We all know that entering the new school year begins with a period of testing the water.
We feel our way through the first couple of days and our students are doing the same. We are not always going to be able to make a perfect decision to become what our students need us to be every moment of every day.
"Be water, my friend."
There are days we might dive in, others when we will float and some when we may race to the finish. We will make mistakes. We might get stuck in our old habits, freeze and turn to ice.
Even during those moments we have to realize our ability to change. Water takes on many forms but unlike water we choose which one to be and when. Most importantly we need to teach our students that they have this choice too.
Heres to a happy and healthy new school year!
