Vets, rookies pace Dodgers' All-Stars
Departing Jerry Sands led organization in homers and RBIs
By Robert Emrich / Special to MLB.com | November 16, 2012 5:58 AM
While the squad in Los Angeles may have had their season end in disappointment, the franchise's Minor League squads gave fans reason to stand up and cheer. The affiliates combined for the third-highest winning percentage in the Minor Leagues at .529.
Ogden fell just short of a title, dropping the best-of-3 Pioneer League Finals to Missoula.
Three other affiliates reached the postseason, though none advanced past the opening round.
Dodgers Organization All-Stars
Catcher -- Eric Smith, Ogden (63 games): Smith showed the polish you'd expect out of a Stanford University product, batting an organizational-best .336 for the Raptors. He finished ninth in the Pioneer League with 55 RBIs, drew more walks (33) than strikeouts (32) and perhaps most surprisingly for a catcher, smacked seven triples, tops on the club.
First base -- Jerry Sands, Albuquerque (119 games), Los Angeles (nine games): Sands, an organizational All-Star each of the past two seasons, endured a strange season. He was traded as a player to be named later to Boston in the blockbuster deal that sent Adrian Gonzalez to the Dodgers but spent the entire season with L.A.
In Albuquerque, Sands proved lethal with the bat, leading Dodgers Minor Leaguers with 26 homers, 107 RBIs and finishing 10th with a .296 average. Splitting time between first base and the outfield, the North Carolina native racked up 11 outfield assists while committing just one error in the outfield.
Second base -- Alex Castellanos, Albuquerque (94 games), Los Angeles (16 games): "Have bat, will travel" is the motto of Castellanos. The Florida native saw time at second base, third base and the outfield for the Isotopes. It didn't matter where he took the field though, because his bat carried him. Acquired from the Cardinals at the Trade Deadline in 2011, Castellanos batted .328 with 17 homers and led the Pacific Coast League with a 1.010 OPS. For good measure, he swiped 16 bases and smacked seven triples.
Third base -- C.J. Retherford, Rancho Cucamonga (74 games), Chattanooga (44 games): Joining the club as a Minor League free agent, Retherford made a good first impression, finishing second among Dodgers Minor Leaguers with 23 homers. The Florida native was also second with 92 RBIs and was eighth with a .311 average.
Shortstop -- Corey Seager, Ogden (46 games): The Dodgers' first-round pick in 2012 signed quickly and got off to an even quicker start, collecting three hits in just his second pro game. He didn't stop, finishing the season with a .309 average and slugging eight homers for the Raptors. Seager showed incredible poise for an 18-year-old in his debut season, drawing 21 walks while striking out 33 times. Manager Damon Berryhill, a former Major Leaguer, was impressed by Seager.
"We have a young kid, Seager, who is just getting introduced to baseball, is mature above his age and who has a calm demeanor about him," he said.
Outfielders Scott Van Slyke, Albuquerque (95 games), Los Angeles (27 games): Van Slyke, the son of former Pirates outfielder Andy Van Slyke, moved up to Triple-A to start the year after a stellar 2011 season and proved it was no fluke. The 2005 14th-round pick batted .327 with 18 homers and finished third with a .982 OPS. He also tied for the team lead with 34 doubles. Unlike his father, who won five Gold Glove awards as an outfielder, Scott struggled defensively, posting a .960 fielding percentage in 59 games in the outfield.
Joc Pederson, Rancho Cucamonga (110 games): Pederson, the Dodgers' No. 4 prospect, did it all in 2012 for the Quakes. The 20-year-old was second on the club with 18 homers, fourth with 70 RBIs and second with 224 total bases. He also finished fifth in the organization with 26 stolen bases and displayed a pretty good glove, committing two errors in 111 games while throwing out nine base runners.
Malcolm Holland, Ogden (60 games): Holland would seem to be an unusual choice if you took a quick glance at his batting average of .244 and his home run total of zero. It's the other things that stand out however.
The Airzona native put together a remarkable .421 on-base percentage thanks to a Pioneer League-best 54 walks. Holland also led the league with 44 steals while getting caught nine times. Thanks to the walks and the speed, Holland managed to score 46 runs despite having more bases on balls than hits.
Utility player -- Jeremy Rathjen, Ogden (68 games): Another member of the team with the best record in the Pioneer League, Rathjen made numerous contributions across the board offensively. The Texas native was fourth in the organization with a .324 batting average, slugged nine homers and drove in 53 runs for the Raptors. He also led the league with 67 runs scored and tied for third with a .943 OPS.
"Rathjen ... has been in our leadoff spot and has been swinging the bat well," Berryhill said after the club clinched a first-half title. "Defensively, he's been solid and has been getting on base consistently."
Right-handed starting pitcher -- John Ely, Albuquerque (27 games), Los Angeles (two games): This was truly a remarkable season for the veteran hurler. Ely set a franchise record with 14 wins, led the organization with a 3.20 ERA and led the Pacific Coast League with 165 strikeouts. All that led to his being named the league's Pitcher of the Year.
A season before, Ely struggled in the same spot, going 7-8 with a 5.99 ERA for the Isotopes. The biggest difference was in the number of hits he allowed. After allowing more than a hit per inning in 2011, Ely held Pacific Coast League batters to a .238 average, en route to a league-leading 1.10 WHIP.
Honorable Mention: Matt Magill: Magill continued his steady climb up the organizational ladder, notching 11 wins for Chatanooga. He led all Dodgers hurlers with 168 strikeouts and posted a 3.75 ERA in his first season in Double-A.
Left-handed starting pticher -- Miguel Sulbaran, AZL Dodgers (11 games), Ogden (one game), Great Lakes (two games): Sulbaran matched his 2011 win total of six while moving up to a higher level. The Venezuela native was seventh in the organization with a 3.82 ERA and fanned 69 batters in 68 1/3 Minor League innings across three levels.
Relief pitcher -- Steve Ames, Chattanooga (54 games): It was just another year for the right-handed Ames, who notched 18 saves for the Lookouts while posting a 1.56 ERA. Among relievers in the Southern League, the Washington native was third in strikeouts per nine innings pitched, at 10.23. After allowing four runs in a June 4 appearance, Ames allowed just three runs over his final 31 appearances.

Preparing for Disasters
Most of us don't want to think about disasters, much less prepare for them. Over the long term, we'll need to protect ourselves by preserving wetlands, mangrove forests, and other natural shields against extreme weather. But in the short term, we need to be ready for emergencies without surrendering to scaremongering. Knowing the best evacuation route out of town before a flood or hurricane hits, for instance, can be life-saving. Below are a few tips and eco-friendly solutions to help you get through disasters unscathed.
Be Informed. Contact your local authorities to find out about the hazards and emergencies your area is prone to and what you can do to reduce your risk. In the United States, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides state-by-state historical disaster lists as well as preparedness tips (www.fema.gov). For worldwide information, the International Disaster Database at the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters provides country listings of natural and technological disasters (www.cred.be). Also, check with officials about obtaining copies of community and school emergency plans, and learn the evacuation plan for your workplace.
Plan Ahead. All family members should have a contact card listing a meeting place and phone number as well as contact information for a friend outside the region with whom members can check in. To prepare for possible medical emergencies, take a first aid or CPR course at a local chapter of your national Red Cross or Red Crescent society (www.ifrc.org). Check your insurance for coverage of emergencies known to strike your area, and make sure you have carriers and food ready for your pets.
Prepare an Emergency Kit. Depending on where you live and the types of disasters likely in your area, you may need to store enough non-perishable food and water to last your family three days or more, providing at least one gallon (3.8 liters) of water per person per day. Kits should include cash, bedding, matches, first aid supplies (including prescription medications and copies of insurance policies), deeds, credit cards, and other identification. Also, store enough gas to fill your car. Eco-friendly items to help keep you fed and informed during emergencies include:
- Non-perishable food (and a can opener): You can avoid hormone-disrupting bisphenol-A (BPA) in the linings of cans by choosing foods in recyclable aseptic cartons (such as those produced by Tetra Pak and Sig Combibloc). Eden Foods also avoids using BPA in its canned organic foods line (edenfoods.com).
- Radios: Solar radios that can also be hand-cranked mean you have fewer batteries to worry about. Some include an LED flashlight and have both short- and long-wave functions (freeplayenergy.com).
- Flashlights: LED flashlights will extend battery life considerably, or try a hand-cranked or solar model (freeplayenergy.com, niteize.com, realgoods.com).
- Batteries and rechargers: Batteries are snapped up quickly in emergencies, but rechargeables can draw on solar energy to keep the power flowing to your cellphone or even your car battery (sundancesolar.com, batterystuff.com, brunton.com). For information on recycling rechargeable batteries at the end of their life, see rbrc.org. Dispose of non-recyclable batteries according to local solid-waste regulations.
- Stoves: For extended emergencies you'll want to cook and may need to purify water by boiling it. Solar cookers come in a variety of portable forms, including ones that fold flat, reach high temperatures, and come with a pot and water pasteurization indicator (solarcookers.org). Where sunlight is inconsistent, try clean-burning canned fuel (ecofuelxb.com).
Finally, make sure you regularly check all stored items to ensure they still function and review your emergency plans with family members. For more information, see "Prudent Reaction Versus Overreaction" (Green Guide #90) and product reports at www.thegreenguidecom.
Paul W. McRandle is senior research editor of The Green Guide, published by The Green Guide Institute, which provides the research for this department.

Best dictionary of English oofline and online
Best dictionary of English oofline and online
I have a lot of dictionaries but it´s a hell when you don't find something easily.
I mean expression , special uses, etc.
I would like a categorizing of what kind of use has the word . For example if it´s from the core of the language or not. I would like something similar to a scale (more useful , less useful)
There are a lot of dictionary online for free , but maybe i ´m losing a lot without paying a service:
For example:
Oxford Dictionaries (US)
Oxford University Press
I am afraid of being a scam the first one.
If the money it´s the problem what dictionary service do you buy? , or what dictionary are the best offline (doesn't matter the OS).
I think the more important its how actual the dictionary is, because the language change too much.
(in bilingual version for spanish too)
Thank you for your opinions.

A serious note
Last Wednesday Tyler Clementi jumped off the George Washington Bridge. He was only 18 years old, a student at Rutgers. His roommate and some other dumbass taped him via webcam having sex with a man. Then they streamed the video online. Tyler died, literally, of embarrassment. Many contend that he would not have suffered the same fate if he was not gay. Full Story

|How do I delete a post or a topic?
|Go to top
|If it is the first post of a topic - you cannot delete just the post. You have to delete the whole topic.
Go to the topic list (inside a forum), check the box on the left of the topic you want to trash, then chose Delete at the pull down bar on the bottom of the page in the Moderation options.
If you want to delete just one post of a topic, but not the very first post of this topic - there IS a small link reading "Delete" - right next to Edit and Reply. If you don't see the Delete link, it's because either:
1. You are not logged in as a user with moderation privileges in this board. The owner of the board, the administrators the owner assigned, or the moderators the owner assigned have moderation privileges. (still with me? ;-)
2. You are looking at the first post of a topic, which cannot be deleted, must delete the whole topic, yadda yadda.
What you might be trying to do is to delete the Test message that is sent every time you create a new forum.
Do like I said above, check the topic in the topic list inside the forum, select Delete from the pull down bar at the bottom of the screen, click Go.. there you are.
|How can I move a single post to another topic or forum?
|Go to top
At this time, you can't. You must move the whole topic.
|How do I check my PM's (Private Messages)?
|Go to top
At this time, they are simply sent to your email. This will change soon.
|Where can I find custom smilies for my board?
|Go to top
A few places to find smilies
|How to tell a local account from a global account on the same board?
|Go to top
Someone arrives creates a new global account, lets say Bob.
That person can quite happily trawl round the whole site and visit and post on whatever board they want.
Ok, now. What is someone on my board really wants the name Bob, so they sign up for a local account that they can only use on my board.
What would happen if the global Bob visited my board?
They would both appear as Bob, except the local user would have "Local user" below their name, and the global user would have "Global user" below theirs, in the post list. In the pages other than the post list, it would be harder to distinguish between both.
|How many boards can I create?
|Go to top
|Up to 10 per user account, at this moment.
|How do I put a link back to my Home page from my board?
|Go to top
|Go to Control Panel>Board Management>Edit layout/colors>Manage Custom HTML
You will see a Header area and a Footer area.
These are where you can add HTML code for extra features/functions on your board.
If you put the code in the header, the link will appear at the top. If you put it in the footer, it will appear at the bottom.
To make a link for your home page, add some code like this:
My Home Page
You'd substitute "https://www.mysite.com/HomePage.html" with your own home page URL.
The TARGET="blank" will open your home page in a new window, rather than using the same window as your board.
The font color code lets you change the text colouring for "My Home Page".
Naturally, you can change the link text from "My Home Page" to whatever you want.
|How to set the image displayed at the top of my board?
|Go to top
|Well first you need a picture. Then you need to have it stored somewhere online that lets you link to it from other websites. After that, you go to your controls>manage (board name)>edit layout/colors>community logo options
Put the direct URL of the image there. The url to images generally end in .jpg or .gif
It will also ask for Height and width...It is in Edit Layout/Colors of your Message Board's control panel.
|What does "sticky" and "unsticky" mean?
|Go to top
When you "sticky" a topic, it will always appear in the top of the topic list. Do it for important topics like forum rules, important announcements... Stuff you don't want to fall off the top when other topics are posted.
Unsticky just removes this tag and the topic becomes normal.
|What is the Publicly Displayed Location in the Control Panel?
|Go to top
|It's a small bit of text that will be displayed in all your posts right under your name. If you live in London,
you might want to set it to "London". If you don't explicitely set this up, nothing will be displayed.

14th September 2017
I would like to offer a warm welcome to both our new families and those returning following the summer break. I hope that you have enjoyed the summer and listening to the children retell their adventures, it sounds as though most of you have had an amazing (and very busy) time.
It has been wonderful to see how well all our pupils have settled back to school, whether they are joining us at the start of their journey at our schools or are beginning their final year before heading off to pastures new. Visiting classes over the past week, I have seen all of our values (being Respectful, Responsible, Courageous, Hopeful and Thankful) demonstrated in abundance, with pupils playing and learning well together, trying their best, setting goals for the year and showing a real sense of pride in their achievements. The teachers have been quite well behaved too!
As usual, this is always a really busy and productive term, with parent briefings for you to chat to senior staff about what is happening in the school, parents consultations, Harvest and Christmas Services and performances to name but a few. Do look out for the diary dates for this term, which if not with you already, will be sent home in the coming week.
Class newsletters have already been sent home and copies of all letters as well as class newsletters can be found on this website.
For the first time in my two years as Headteacher of this Federation all of our Reception Classes are full, with 2 of the schools being oversubscribed this year which is fantastic. Castle Acre has grown from 42 children 6 years ago to 69 today – our highest number yet! With further planned building in many of our villages we could even see this rise further.
We see the education of our children as a partnership with you and should you have any questions, concerns or queries about what is happening in class, or just want to know more about how you can help, please do speak to the class teacher who will be more than happy to speak to you.

As a "disappointing" week for corn and soybean prices ends, Jerry Gulke is shifting his focus to the upcoming USDA crop production numbers, scheduled to be released Aug. 12, and the potential impact on grain markets.
"The general perception is that the government has got to raise yields in that report," says Gulke, president of The Gulke Group, speaking to Farm Journal Radio on Friday, Aug. 1. But he also suspects that the feds, armed with the beginnings of harvest and crop insurance data, will also have something to say about other factors affecting this year's crop. "You might see an increase in yield, but you may also see a drop in harvested acreage," Gulke predicts.
Hear Gulke's full radio analysis here:
That could translate into better news for farmers who are under financial pressure and worried about sliding prices for corn. In the Dakotas, Gulke reports, "corn was under $2 a bushel, cash. That doesn't cash-flow," he says, even if your farm is debt-free. "There are some tremendous implications coming for those farmers who are going to be forced to sell this crop at these depressed prices."
But those prices could also start bouncing upwards as demand rises, thanks to other countries that have begun snapping up bargain-priced American corn, soybeans, and wheat. "At these prices, we're going to sell more grain," Gulke says.
For those farmers who prefer to practice patience and wait for better prices, the big issue is going to be the cost and availability of storage space in grain elevators, Gulke says. "Farm storage is going to be well worth the money spent this year."

I'm getting ready to buy a MacBook Pro 15", but would like some help regarding a few things.
- I witnessed somebody using a tool that showed all web requests' request headers / content, response headers / content, URL, port, other meta info, etc, sort of like a "Live HTTP Headers" on steroids (I thought it was a stand-alone piece of software, but maybe it's just a browser add-on). Do you know what the tool I'm speaking of is called?
- Mac OS X comes with Apache and listens at port 80 by default. This is no good, if you're developing an application (a Django app) and you want it listening on port 80 during development (not using Apache). Can I stop Apache from listening on port 80 or disable it altogether, or is it required for OS X (or some built-in software) to operate?
- MOST IMPORTANT: For about 3 days I had a high-res 15" but had to return it due to the fonts being difficult to read. I was able to cope with certain of the apps, but my code editor's text looked blurry no matter the font size, and a couple other apps' fonts did as well. Is there a trick to getting your fonts to look crisp on the high-res display (such as how Windows has ClearType settings, etc), or should I change fonts? I believe I only used Consolas during the 3 days.
- Are their any other tools (aside from Firefox add-ons) that you would recommend to a software / web developer who's new to Mac?

|Valencia, Calif.
|High School:
As a third-year captain, Mr. Dean brings a tremendous amount of leadership to the court through his great work ethic and constant communication.

New Mexico, Part Two
—01. Yuki getting ready to hit the road.
As promised, here is the second batch of images from my recent trip to New Mexico. These ones have a bit more of a look at some of the weaving shops we went to, as well as one of the most amazing general stores in all of New Mexico. Although some of these shots aren't too bad, I just saw some of the film shot by Nicholas Haggard and really can't wait to see it printed in the upcoming issue of Inventory - due out in April.

Independent laboratory analysis shows it to be one of the highest quality coconut oils on the market, having the highest levels of antioxidants.
Even after reading about the benefits of using coconut oil and how Tropical Traditions produces it, I hesitated to try it. Now that I've cooked foods with the coconut oil, I don't know what my problem was. I browsed the free coconut recipes and, with a few personal alterations and touches of my own, found a couple to try. My first was the Mexican Style Pepper Chicken.
The coconut oil works the same as other oils you cook with. It comes packaged in a jar and doesn't require refrigeration. It doesn't have a strong coconut flavor to it so it doesn't taste like you're eating a coconut-infused food. The coconut oil sells for a little more than what you'd pay for some corn or vegetable oils, but it doesn't take a lot to cook with so a jar should last a while.
If you'd like to learn more about virgin coconut oil, you can watch a video entitled: "How We Discovered Virgin Coconut Oil - An Interview with Brian Shilhavy, CEO Tropical Traditions". Also, you can acquire your own complimentary copy of the Virgin Coconut Oil book with your first online order. The book will be automatically added to your order when you choose "Referred by a Friend" when ordering and enter 5601441. Tropical Traditions customer service will assist you if you need help placing your first web order to capture the free book.

A powerful component of customer engagement is providing scarce, exclusive and relevant experiences that reinforce your brand positioning.
"Members Only" or "By Invitation Only" marketing programs can be compelling messages that tell your customer that you truly appreciate their business. For years leading luxury retailers such as Bergdorf Goodman and Barney's have feted their best customers with private lunches, exclusive parties or access to fashion designer "meet and greets." More accessible retailers like J. Crew and Nordstrom use their loyalty programs to reward members with unique privileges such as free alterations, early notice of new merchandise arrivals or special shopping hours. In all cases, the customer is granted access based upon some meaningful qualification, typically spending level or loyalty.
But another kind of marketing seems to be gaining momentum, and it's best illustrated by the flash-sales sites such as GiltGroupe, HauteLook and BeyondTheRack. These businesses are growing dramatically–RueLaLa recently reported that their sales doubled year over year–and one of their hooks is that their low prices are for "members only." So what does one have to do to qualify to be a member? Having a legitimate e-mail address is just about all it takes.
In the early 1980's "Members Only" jackets quickly became all the rage. If you wanted the world to know how cool you were, a "Members Only" jacket gave you quick access to an exclusive club. But it wasn't long before just about everybody had one and what propelled the brand soon eviscerated it.
There is ample evidence that, for a while, you can get away with hooking customers with faux exclusivity. But just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Deep levels of engagement and loyalty are not built on smoke and mirrors; rather they are built on forging relationships rooted in respect and trust.
Authenticity matters.
Does your marketing look more Members Only or more "Members Only" Jacket?

Today we all know that benefits of math are considerable. Math is not a subject one learns by reading the problems and solutions. American children have very little practice with multi-step problems, and very few opportunities to think their way in to and through problems that do not look like all the others.

Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos proved Thursday that you don't need to operate a read-option attack to scatter opposing defenses. A dyed-in-the-wool dropback passer with a brain the size of Peyton's can take you far, but that shouldn't dim excitement over what coach Chip Kelly is cooking up in Philadelphia.

The Eagles coach has dropped hints about how his up-tempo offense will operate in Monday night's season opener against Washington. Charged with slowing down Michael Vick and friends, Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett has been digging through archival footage of Kelly's approach to moving the ball.
"I've watched 23, 24 Oregon films; I watched what they did in preseason," Haslett told reporters Friday, per CSN Philadelphia. "If they can do anything else, God bless 'em."
Kelly used a stable of backs at Oregon, and Eagles runner LeSean McCoy noted Thursday that the ground game -- seemingly a mix of power runs and inside and outside zone concepts -- will be used prominently. It will take a village.
"Not only myself, but we've got tons of backs who are going to get it done," McCoy told NFL Media's Randy Moss.
Through the air, Vick and backup quarterback Nick Foles orchestrated a passing attack in August that made use of "packaged" or "combo" plays. Smart Football's Chris Brown richly unpacked the concept, which gives the quarterback the option to target a flurry of outside receivers with screen passes -- if they're single-covered -- or dial up an inside run. Expect plenty of Eagles players to touch the ball.
Said Haslett of Kelly: "He must have been a heck of a recruiter because he had about 35 wideouts running in and out and they're all good players."
When Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio asked Brent Celek about Philly's attack, the Eagles tight end "was not at liberty to tell me what they're going to do, but he said they have not even scratched the surface," per Caplan.
Secrets piled upon secrets in Philly, but come Monday, the cat will be out of the bag. With Washington serving as the guinea pig.The "Around The League Podcast" is now available on iTunes! Click here to listen and subscribe.

Hunters, fishermen bristle at regulations
As we reach mid-June, there is some super fishing going on, but it is also time to finalize your hunting spots. It has always been a blessing to live in an area such as Southeast Texas where outdoors folks have access to both hunting and fishing that is first class. There are, of course, other areas that offer certain outdoor offerings, but few of them can offer such a large variety of outdoor recreation.
There is a new regulation that affects Toledo Bend catfishing. There has been a 50 fish limit imposed with only five fish over 20 inches. This applies to blue and channel catfish only. The Opelousas cats have different regulations. Contact the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for regulations.
The marinas that are toward the north end of the lake cater to many cat fishermen. A 20-inch channel or blue catfish will have little edible flesh. Up in the north area where folks concentrate heavily on catfish, they are not happy for more and more restrictions being placed on recreational anglers. Bill's Landing is one of the main marinas for catfishermen. There has been a petition going around for folks to sign if they don't approve of the new regulations.
I am still getting complaints about the antler restrictions for East Texas whitetail deer. The fact is that the numbers of really irate hunters far outnumber the ones that I heard from in favor of the regulations. According to the hunters, everyone does not spend their money and time solely in search of a trophy buck. There are still folks that enjoy bringing venison home.
The deer that live in the Piney Woods, for the most part, sport antlers that grow up more than out. There are some really old big antlered bucks in East Texas that are illegal because of their antler's spread. Besides that, there are bucks that have freak antlers that need to be removed from the herd. Most of those don't make the legal measurement either.
A legal buck deer, according to the TPWD, is defined as having a hardened antler protruding through the skin AND at least one unbranched antler; or an inside spread measurement between main beams of 13 inches or greater; or six points or more on one antler. These restrictions are in place in 61 Texas counties (see map).
There are now longtime deer hunters that have decided to give it up because of so many restrictions. They are afraid that they will kill a nearly legal buck and be fined for it. Perhaps that's what the plan is anyway. So whenever you settle on a hunting spot, be sure to learn the rules and regulations, before committing or signing a lease agreement.
Moving on to fishing, things are going full blast. That's especially the case in saltwater and for white bass and catfish on Lake Livingston.
The red snapper season has opened in federal as well as state waters. The reports that have reached me have been that there is no problem catching the two-fish limit. I have not headed out, but the reports are that when the fishermen put out chum, the water turns red with feeding red snapper. With a two-fish limit, most of the recreational anglers have plans to take other species of fish while they are out in the blue water. King, ling, amberjack tuna, wahoo and plenty other species such Lane snapper are out there, too.
I've often wondered if the same federal regulations that apply to immigration are also in force for game wardens. Is it legal for state game wardens to check fishermen that are in federal waters? Also, what about state game wardens checking waterfowl hunters for federal waterfowl stamps? I'm not saying here that I'm necessarily against the practice. It just seems that sometimes things are legal and at other times there are different rules. Redfish of any size are not legal to retain in federal waters. There have been times when Texas game wardens were out there to check coolers, give tickets and confiscate redfish. The regulation is as far fetched, in my opinion, as allowing legal size redfish taken on rod and reel in the local bayous be retained, but not those caught on jugs or trotlines.
I know of more than one instance when anglers caught legal redfish at the jetty and they wanted to go on offshore. Even if the fish was caught within all regulations, it would be illegal to have it aboard in federal waters. It seems that once federal regulations are implemented for sport fishermen, they are never removed. Lake Sabine is a good example of strange regulations. Folks launching in Louisiana and legally licensed can retain a much more liberal limit than Texas fishermen fishing in the same lake.

This question already has an answer here:
I am C++ developer with some good experience on it. When I try to learn a new language ( have tried Java, C#, python, perl till now) I usually pickup a book and try to read it. But the problem with this is that these books typically start with some very basic programming concepts such as loops, operators etc and it starts to get very boring soon. Also, I feel I would get only theoeritcal knowledge without any practical knowledge on writing the code. So my question is how do you tacke these situations? do you just skip the chapters if its explaining something basic? also, do you have some standard set of programs that you will try to write in every new programming language you try to learn?

INDEPENDENCE –– One by one, Grayson County is picking them off. Alleghany, Chilhowie and Rural Retreat were all part of the Blue Devils' 0-7 start a year ago, and all have fallen to Grayson in 2010.
The Devils will go after No. 4 tonight when they take on Glenvar in a nondistrict game in Salem.
Much of the Highlander roster returns from a team that edged the Blue Devils 7-0 in a rain-soaked game at Bill Strong Field last September. And mercy, they have some size.
"They're massive," Grayson County coach Brett McPherson said. "They are one of the biggest high school football teams I've seen in a long time. Just run it right at you. They don't throw the ball a whole lot. They don't make any bones about it, they're coming right at you."
Glenvar (2-0) is coming off a 42-0 pasting of Parry McCluer a week after scoring 27 unanswered points in rallying past James River 41-34. Tim Woods and Corey Bolden do most of the damage in the Highlanders' ground-oriented attack. Woods has 304 yards and three touchdowns in two games, while the 6-foot, 235-pound Bolden has 244 yards and six scores. He is also 12-of-13 on PATs.
Glenvar will offer Grayson County nothing fancy, and with a line that can average 275, what's the point? The Highlanders will pull a guard every now and then, but more often than not will simply try to wall off the defensive front and move the pile.
"It's just going to come down to fundamental football," McPherson said. "Can we consistently step and deliver a blow on the defensive line and play football and be physical? There aren't going to be any games. No funky schemes. It's going to be, who's going to play football?"
McPherson said it will be crucial for the smaller, quicker Grayson defensive line to take the fight to the Highlanders.
"We've got to be physical," he said. "And not just one or two plays, but we've got to make these people back off. Who's going to be the first one to make your guy back off? Because those big guys, if they get their second foot in the ground they're going to move you. We've got to knock them before they get that second foot in the ground."
The Blue Devils don't really know what to expect from Glenvar defensively, in part because the Highlanders' first two opponents have been spread teams, and in part because McPherson hasn't seen a straight defense yet this year.
"We've just had a hard time figuring out how people are going to play us," he said. "Are they going to double[-team] Eric [Harvey]? Are they going to double somebody else?
"We're going to present some problems for them, getting on the edges."
The Blue Devils have presented a lot of problems to opposing defenses thus far, already scoring more points in three games than they did an entire season in 2009 and 2008.

tool description
The customer journey map is an oriented graph that describes the journey of a user by representing the different touchpoints that characterize his interaction with the service. In this kind of visualization, the interaction is described step by step as in the classical blueprint, but there is a stronger emphasis on some aspects as the flux of information and the physical devices involved. At the same time there is a higher level of synthesis than in the blueprint: the representation is simplified trough the loss of the redundant information and of the deepest details.
The gamified customer journey mapping is a way to easily describe a possible scenario or map the experience throughout an existing service.
A blank journey worksheet and a set of cards representing the touchpoints are needed to set the ground for the activity. According to the specific context and purpose of the session, various game modalities and rules can be then created. A typical process for this kind of activity can start by asking the participants to choose a persona (or create a persona from scratch), define a goal for this persona, pick up the touchpoints that allow reaching this goal and describe the experience flow across the different touchpoints.
The cards provide a visual support that facilitate understanding and assembling the sequence of activities and touchpoints that characterize the service experience.
This specific example comes from a project about transportation. A high level of complexity emerged due to the fact that the transportation customers are often 'shared customers' of a range of multiple operators -that are needed to let people move from A to B-. The map tries to embrace this complexity by representing the different touchpoints in relation with the different types of stakeholders (public bodies, transport operators, local and regional authorities).
At the end, once the journey has been mapped, the game-boards can be used to highlight the gaps, pain points and opportunities of the experience, both from the perspective of the user and the provider.
The tool is available on a prezi template to copy and try online:
Building a customer journey implies the observation of the user experience and the representation of that experience through its touchpoints.
The example shown here is a rough sketch used for the construction of a customer journey map (in this case the map is referred to a simplified train ride). The starting point is the identification of the touchpoints as the elements of the service interface that establish the relation between the user and the organization. The touchpoints can be physical, virtual or human. The user experience is obtained by connecting the different touchpoints in a sequence.
finding & recommendations FOR ALIGNING OGT SERVICE TOUCHPOINTS
Three OGT (Oxford Gene Technology) customer segments were interviewed to give insights into their experiences of interacting with OGT's services. The information collected were then used for building three customer journey maps, reflecting the experiences gathered, highlighting the stickling points and comparing OGT to competitor services.
The identification of a structured graphical language for the representation is very useful here, allowing the description of several experiences with the same structure and criteria and facilitating the comparison between them.

DENVER, Jan. 16 (UPI) -- A 3-point shot buried by Wilson Chandler with 14.9 seconds left in overtime Tuesday gave the Denver Nuggets a 115-111 win over Portland.
Chandler, who missed two months of the season because of a hip injury, converted off an assist from Andre Igoudala after LaMarcus Aldridge had tied the score 111-111 by sinking a pair of free throws with 32 seconds to play.
Chandler finished with 13 points and six rebounds. Ty Lawson led the Nuggets with 24 points and a dozen assists. Kenneth Faried added 21 points and 11 boards.
Denver won its sixth in a row and improved to 15-2 at home.
Aldridge scored 28 for the Blazers, who lost their third consecutive game. Nicolas Batum added 22.
Portland was held to 19 points in the third quarter but outscored Denver 23-18 in the fourth quarter to force overtime.

Well hellllo everyone! Today I am guest posting at PR&P on how to add some cool additions to your holiday attire this season! Isn't that just the bees knees?! So, I know a lot of you are making you holiday dresses and outfits for your little munchkins in the next couple weeks. I came up with a few ideas I though would be great to incorporate into almost any pattern! And some would even be good for other holidays like Hanukkah, Kwanza, or just plain ol' birthdays too!
So pop on over to Project Run & Play and learn how to make a festive Christmas tree, a cute present border hem, and little present pockets to stuff just as you would their stockings!
Now that you have your fun little features in mind, what are you going to add them too? Well, if you are using a pattern you already have in mind, great! Just remember to add the pockets first, then the border second (well, after you've made the rest of your skirt), and finish with the Christmas tree after the bodice is joined to the skirt.
But what if you don't have a dress pattern yet?!
No worries! I've got you covered! Two great tutorials with free patterns are this one by the Cottage Mama and this one by Shwin&Shwin. But if you are willing to draft your own pattern then we can make this jumper style dress together!
What you will need:
A total of 1.5 yards of fabric (this will make up to a size 4T. You may need more for a taller or older child.)
A shirt that fits your child well for drafting the pattern
Elastic thread for shirring
Matching thread
Seam allowances are 1/2" unless otherwise noted.
Let's start with the front bodice piece. Lay your shirt out flat. Measure across the width of the shirt and add one inch for seam allowance (for the shirring to fit properly omit the front seam allowance.) Mark that number down. Now to figure out the length, you will have to subtract about 3" from the bottom.
Find natural waist and measure up to the base of the armpit. Add and inch to the bottom of that measurement for seam allowance. I use an inch seam allowance for bodice to skirt joining because it always seams to take more than I expected, probably because of the bulk of the gathers on the skirt.)
Measure from the bottom of your bodice up to the base of the armpit. Mark that number down. We're going to add 2.5" to that number to make a gentle curve. The apex of the curve will be 2.5 (the 1/2" is for the seam allowance) and the base of the curve will be whatever you bottom to armpit number was. Now you have your front bodice pattern drafted. Here's mine:
My front bodice was L7" x W12" but after adding in the seam allowances and the allowance for the curve, I cut out one rectangle that was L10.5" x W13.5".
I shaped my curve like this:
Now for the back bodice, turn the shirt over, measure across the width (it's probably the same as the front). We are going to be shirring the back bodice. Disregard what the notes say and just multiply that number by 1.25-1.5 (I recommend 1.25) Add one inch to that measurement for seam allowances.
To figure out how long the bodice back piece should be, you will need to use the same number as you did for the front bodice, minus the curve, but adding in allowance for a narrow hem.
So my one rectangle to cut out for the bodice back was L8.5" x W19". Now your bodice back is drafted too! Yeay!
figure of the drafting. see above for cutting layout
Now straps. To determine the length, you want to measure from the armpit measurement on the back (but just inside the shoulder blade) to the shoulder and then measure the front from the sides of the curve to the top of the shoulder. Add those numbers together.
Now multiply them by 1.5-2 ( I used 2). Add one inch for seam allowances.
Now to figure out the width, I measure the shirt from the neckline (just before the collar) to the shoulder (just before the start of the sleeve). That number is your strap width. Add one inch to each side of each strap for the hems.
I cut two rectangles for the straps that were L17"x W4.5". (Actually, I recommend that the cutting length be changed to keeping the straps the sum of front and back numbers plus seam allowance only).
Finally, the skirt. We are going to need two pieces because the front is a different size than the back (plus I added inseam pockets.)
The length of the front and back skirt piece is from the waist to wherever you would like the hem to be (quick note: if you are adding a present border hem, you will need to subtract that from your measurement but still add in 0.5" seam allowance for attaching the two. Otherwise, add two inches to the bottom for hem, turn a 1/4" towards wrong side then again 1.5" press then stitch.) I think the base of the knee is a nice look, but if you want a cute vintage-y look, go above the knee and make a pair of matching leggins or bloomers!
The width of the front skirt piece is going to be more gathered than the back since the back is shirred (it doesn't need as much gather). So to figure out the width, doubleyour front bodice measurement.
I cut one front skirt rectangle that was L13.5" x W26".
(Sidenote, I used the border hem so that is my subtracted hem. After the dress was done, the skirt piece was 12" from waist to top of border hem).
Last piece, skirt back. Since the bodice is gathered, I don't need to have the back be as wide as the front. That would make the front look way less gathered, and the back super full. BUT- I know from experience that it looks better when the back is at least a little gathered so that's why I multiply the back by 1.5. The length is the same as the front.
I cut one back skirt piece that was L13.5"x W28"
Alright! All your pieces are cut out. There are some extra notes there on the measurements of the present border hem and the present pockets. But I'm not going to go into them. Just keep in mind that if you want to add those things that you are double checking with the tutorial on PR&P and these notes. If you want :-)
Okay now to sew! First! Fill up two bobbins with elastic thread. Don't put them in yet. Just fill them. FYI- if you want it to match your fabric, consider dying it. My fabric was white based so I didn't.
Let's start with the straps. First you want to press under one long side of one of the straps 1/4" towards the wrong side. Press. Then fold it again, encasing your raw edges now. Press. Stitch 1/8" away from the open edge. This is a narrow hem. Just reference this for future steps. Repeat for all long edges of the strap pieces.
Now install your elastic thread bobbin. I suggest testing all shirring out on a scrap pieces of fabric that is similar weight to the one you are working on first. The back should look tight; if it looks curvy and wonky, it's not right and the thread is probably not wound tight enough. You want it tight but not ridiculously tight. Okay- so now find the center of your strap, increase your stitch length to 3.5 or more (I like 3.5) and stitch down the center of your strap.
Make sure you are stitching your shirring lines from the right side up (the elastic thread should be on the wrong side of the fabric).
I know this isn't perfect sewing advice, but when I reach the end, I just lift the presser foot (leaving the needle in the fabric) and turn 90 degrees, stitch two stitches, then lift and pivot again and do the next line of shirring.
Do make sure that your shirring lines are as perfectly straight and even as possible!!
I did a total of five rows, pivoting accordingly (when I reached a last row on one side, I did extra stitches in the opposite direction just past that middle one and do the other side. Unorthodox? Maybe, but it's shirred straps, not a completely exact science ;-)
Spritz the elastic back with water and hit it with a little steam (don't actually press the back). Repeat for other strap. Straps are done. Put them to the side.
Now let's make the bodice back, First find the center back along the top edge. Mark with a pin. Measure out from that mark 2" on either side and pin your straps to the bodice back, right sides together. (disregard that in the pics I shirred the back first. I think hemming first makes more sense.)
Sew the straps in place.
Press under the top hem of the bodice back 1/4." Turn under again towards the wrong side 1/4". Press. Stitch close to the open edge of the hem making sure to keep the straps tucked within the seam allowance!
Keep on stitching right on top of the strap.
When you come to the straps, stitch right on top of the strap making sure it is perfectly tucked under.
This is what it should look like from the right side of the fabric on the bodice back.
Now it's time to shirr the back bodice. Switch out your bobbin with elastic thread again and increase your stitch length to 3.5 or higher. From the right side of your fabric, start 1/2" down from top hem and just inside your side seam allowance, backstitch then start your shirring line, pivoting when you reach your opposite side seam allowance, stitch down two stitches, then pivot again and start the next line. Keep lines and spacing perfectly straight. Repeat all the way down back bodice stopping one inch from the bottom. At some point you will probably need to change your elastic thread. Just keep an eye on it and when you get close to the end, backstitch, then load the new bobbin and backstitch and continue on your way. When you are done, spritz the elastic thread wrong side of fabric with water and then hover, once again, with steam. OOOhhhhh magic :-) Switch back to your regular bobbin thread.
Now to join the front and back bodice pieces, you will need to align them at the bodice bottoms. Stitch the sides together, and don't worry about the fact that the top has a little over hang. That is for its narrow hem.
Find the center of your bodice front measure out 1.5" on either side.
Pin your straps and bodice front right sides together and sew them in place.
Now fold under your front bodice to form a narrow hem similar to the one like the back bodice. Clip the curve if you are worried about bulk, I did not and it came out perfectly. Start your stitching where your back bodice hem ends and sew it in the same manner as you did the back, making sure your straps are tucked in the same manner.
Stitch the hem the same as you did the back.
And your bodice is done!! Okay! Try it on and make sure the fit is right.
Now for the skirt. If you are adding pockets, check the PR&P tutorial for placement notes. If you are adding inseam pockets, follow this tutorial and measure down 3" from the top to start each pocket. Attach them right sides facing each other, stitch themwith a 1/2" seam allowance. Then stitch your side seam from the top and then around the pocket, continuing on down to the bottom near the hem. Repeat for opposite side.
Now to gather the skirt. Pull your bobbin and top threads out about 8" every time you start a new row of basting stitches. Also, do not backstitch! Increase your stitch length to 5mm or higher. Starting 1/4" (or less if possible) from the top edge of the skirt, stitch one line of basting stitches from one side seam of the front skirt piece to the opposite side. Pull you bobbin and top threads out about 8" again and cut. Start another row of basting stitches 1/4" down from that row using the same instructions as above. Repeat whole process for back skirt piece. Then pull the bobbin threads for the front skirt piece to match the front bodice measurement and the back skirt bobin threads to match the back bodice width as it would be if it was stretched out.
Pin the bodice to the skirt (right sides facing and matching the raw edges of the bodice bottom and the skirt top) making sure that you keep the front bodice flushed with the gathers and stretching out the back bodice and pinning. Yes, the back will gape and look bunchy; that's because of the shirring (remember why I said the back won't be gathered as much? That's why!) Now starting from the side seam, and a regular stitch length, stitch the bodice to the skirt starting from the front then working your way around the back, making sure that your side seams on your bodice and on your skirt match up. Turn right side out and press where needed.
That's it!!

Okay well time to tackle my enormous Christmas sewing list! Happy Holidays to you all!!!!
Instagram of an awesome holiday night. Jon was at work, the kids were asleep, I was embroidering the Christmas tree by the fire, sipping on this fantastic Flanders style ale while the Nutcracker Ballet played in the background. Had a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies when I was done sewing. Complete Christmas bliss!

Get the Look: Kate Hudson at the 2013 Golden Globes./
The 70th Annual Golden Globes sets the stage for the "Kate Hudson Look". According to celebrity hairstylist David Babaii, "I wanted to show off Kate's healthy, shiny hair in a style that emphasizes her true Hollywood beauty. As the perfect "Muse" and my inspiration, Kate is my generation's Brigitte Bardot showing off soft voluptuous hair that is touchable, glamorous and now Kate's very own signature look."
To achieve, David used IT&LY HAIRFASHION'S Purity Design Line that gives a natural, long-lasting hold which is perfect for beautiful results. David started with IT&LY's Pure Water Drops Serum before blow drying.
Next, he added IT&LY's Pure Style Mousse Strong and used a medium round brush at the root area to add volume then switching to a large round brush to smooth and create soft rounded edges.
After drying, David created a natural side part spritzing IT&LY's Pure Volumizing Eco at the base for added lift and down the shaft for more piecey definition.
For her sexy fringe he wrapped the bang area around a medium round brush spraying a small amount of IT&LY's Pure Volumizing Eco again. With the blow dryer temperature on high, he directed heat on the brush followed by a quick blast of cool air to set. Gently he removed the brush to release the fringe. With his fingers he combed through and allowed the hair to fall naturally into place.
To finish, he misted the hair with IT&LY Pure Definition Hair Spray for soft touchable hair with memory hold. Now everyone will ask, "Can I have the Kate Hudson look?
"Soft, voluptuous, healthy hair never looked more glamorous", says David Babaii.
