So this week I have something a leetle bit different. It's not a vintage children's book but rather a vintage children's record. I have a great little collection of old kid's albums—which are trickier to find than you might think. Most of the kid's albums you find in thrift stores are thrashed beyond believe—well loved by the kiddos who played them to death on their old plastic record players. One of my favorite things about these vintage records are the little booklets often included. This one is from a Mother Goose album and the drawings are super charming. The illustrations are by Harry Wysocki. I had this book as a child, but this was a thrift store score.

GameChat – Twins @ Indians #2, 6:15pm
Again – got the family over for some fun so I won't be around for the game…
At least my house still has power – glad the team is on the road.

well that certainly took a long time…
When the majority of my family left our house, I turned the game day on to see that we were in the bottom of the 8th inning.. at 9:30?? huh? I'm going to guess there was a rain delay.
Despite Parmesan closing it in to a single run, the boys couldn't quite overcome the deficit they had since the 1st inning.. let's hope for better tomorrow.

Ok, I kind of wish I was going to be able to see this game tonight but yeah, all that stuff is finally coming due and I won't be around – deadline day… Sorry for the late post but I still squeaked in before game start right?

OK I'm going to be honest here, I was at a bar from about 3:30 until after the Twins game finished, so I can't say I'm real clear on what happened. But I saw Joe Mauer hit a double and I saw Brian Dozier go yard. It also seemed like every time I looked up at the TV, Sam Deduno was striking someone out.
Yet, it also seemed like every time I looked at the TV, the Indians had a bigger lead, so obviously I didn't see everything that was going on.
Ah well, Saturday will be better, right? – JC

GameChat – White Sox @ Twins #3, 12:10pm
These day games are really hard for regularly-employed people – I'm always concerned whether I can get a break for a post much less be able to follow the game itself and my current work-load? But since I'm sitting on hold at the moment, up goes a post. (and of course this is the day that they were really slow posting lineups so post delayed)
You might be entertained by this video from Justin Morneau's HR in last night's game:
But enough of yesterday, we would LOVE to sweep the White Sox wouldn't we? I think, yes. It's great to have the wins we already have and the series win but this is a divisional opponent and every single win matters so let's not let the heat & humidity or the day game lethargy diminish the effort.

WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!! Storm clouds may be literally on the horizon but that didn't mean the boys didn't want to finish off the White Sox with a bang today. I'm not going to argue with the fact that overall, the hitters made it really tough to pick a BOD today! There were homeruns from Dozier, Arcia, Thomas and Escobar which really makes the lacking look funny at the heart of the order… but again, with a win, who cares?
A lot could be said about the White Sox losing this game because with all the fielding errors, they really just gave us the game but no, we were still hitting and doing the job right for the most part – I'm looking at you Plouffe.
Interesting to me was a bit I got off Twitter: First time Sox swept at Target Field, first time swept at Minn since 9/23-25/08. 12 games under .500 since end of 2007.
Wow… but this is a huge shot in the arm for the boys to take the Sox at home so I hope they take that feeling with them for the next game.
And congrats to Oswaldo Arcia as today's BOD!
GameChat – White Sox @ Twins #2, 7:10pm
Ok this week is CRAZY about deadlines for me – honestly, more than I can actually meet so something is going to have to give somewhere, I just don't know when or where..
So while I'm working tonight and my brain is frying, I'm hoping that the Twins will at least give me a good distraction AND a good mood lift. Last night's win didn't hurt!
Seeing Mauer take on Chris Sale could make for good baseball theater! I just hope Correia is up to the task.. let's go boys!

It really is fun beating the White Sox, isn't it? I mean… just watching the circus that their defense can turn in to at times is just enjoyable.
One thing about being the only person left in the Chat when the game ends is that it falls to me to choose the BOD. There were all sorts of guys up and down the line up that had good games. Brian Dozier with an early, critical home run. Justin Morneau breaking his HR slump. Josh Willingham, Ryan Doumit… the list goes on.
But Kevin Correia gave the Twins a very good outing on the mound, giving up just five hits in 6.2 innings and striking out 6 Sox without surrendering a single walk. That's the kind of starting pitching that deserves to be rewarded and that's what we're going to do!
GameChat – White Sox @ Twins, 7:10
The Bitch Sox come to town for a three game series starting tonight and it gives the Twins an opportunity to start reversing the recent trend that's seen the South Siders winning a heck of a lot more games at Target Field than they should be allowed to win. Oh and it's also a chance to put a little distance between the Twins and the Sox, who are the only AL Central team the Twins can currently look down at in the standings.

So many potential heroes to choose from tonight. Joe Mauer with a first inning home run. Trevor Plouffe with a couple of ribbies. Mike Pelfrey with a Quality Start.
But when you come through in a tie game with a 2-RBI double with two out in the bottom of the eighth inning, that's BOD material in my book. Ryan Doumit strikes again!
Hicks and Melotakis: Kernels Roommates on the Rise
Cedar Rapids Kernels pitcher Mason Melotakis and first baseman Dalton (DJ) Hicks are roommates this summer, sharing the same host family during their stay in Cedar Rapids. Both players played major roles with the Kernels as the team qualified for the Midwest League Playoffs by finishing second in the league's Western Division during the first half of the season and both could be candidates for promotion at some point this summer.
Melotakis leads the Kernels pitching staff in wins with six and in innings pitched with 64 2/3 innings. Those six wins are good for the fourth spot among Midwest League pitchers. The lefty has been perhaps the most consistently reliable member of the Kernels' rotation in recent weeks.
Hicks has been one of the biggest power hitting threats in the Midwest League. He leads the Midwest League with 63 RBI in 66 games played for the Kernels and is third in the League with 12 home runs (just one home run behind co-leaders Renato Nunez of Beloit and Rock Shoulders of Kane County). Hicks is one of eight Kernels named to the Midwest League's Western Division All-Star Team.
Melotakis was drafted in the second round of the 2012 First-year Player Draft by the Twins out of Northwestern State University. Hicks was the Twins' 17th round draft choice the same year out of the University of Central Florida.
On the final Saturday before the end of the first half of their Midwest League season, Hicks and Melotakis both sat down for interviews and reflected on their seasons, so far. (The interviews were conducted separately, but since similar questions were asked of each player, we've combined their responses here.)
Jim Crikket: DJ, How do you feel the first couple of months in Cedar Rapids have gone for you personally?
DJ Hicks: I feel good. You know, baseball is a tough game. You're obviously going to have some ups and downs. The thing is, you've got to be the same person day in and day out and I think that's the key to success is not to get too high or too low, just stay the same.
JC: Mason, you're one of the pitchers the Twins organization is looking at converting to a starting pitching role after spending most of your time prior to this season working out of the bullpen. How do you think things have gone with that so far?
Mason Melotakis: I think it's going well. I mean every day is a new day and every outing is a new outing. Different stuff is working for me on that day. It's a lot of learning how to pitch and how to adjust as the game goes on versus as a reliever, you'd better have your good stuff right then and there. As a starter, you can kind of turn it on later on.
Early in the year, I struggled in the first inning or early in the game, then it seemed like I settled in. Now I'm adjusting to starting off strong and continuing strong.
JC: DJ, you profile as a first baseman/designated hitter. That's a similar profile to a couple other guys in the organization ahead of you, such as Kennys Vargas, for example. Do you pay attention to what other guys at your position are doing?
Hicks: No idea, because that's something I can't control. I can't control what they do. I wish them the best, especially a guy like Vargas. He's an awesome guy. I got to work with him in spring training, great guy. But that's out of my hands. I can only control how I play.
JC: Mason, the 'book' on you coming in to the year was 'hard throwing lefty, nice slider, needs work on the change up. Needs to develop his secondary pitches.' Is that what you've been working on the past couple months?
Melotakis: Absolutely.
JC: How do you feel that's gone?
Melotakis: I don't think I'm ever going to stop working on that, honestly, because you can always get better and better. But we are completely doing it all over again. I'm throwing a new change up grip and a new slider grip. We're going back to square one. It's all about throwing strikes and keeping them (hitters) off balance.
JC: Are you doing that because what you were doing before wasn't working or is it just a new idea, trying a couple of different things?
Melotakis: It's more of a better feel. When I was throwing my change up in a game, it seemed like I was not having a good feel for it. Same with the curve ball, I couldn't really throw it for a strike. So, if you can't throw whatever for a strike, then they're not going to swing at it. So you've got to keep them off balance and be able to throw it for a strike.
I really wasn't throwing (the change up) for strikes or even close sometimes. As for my slider, this one I have a good feel for, so I'm going to throw it for a strike. You know, who knows? It could be two lethal weapons now versus just throwing them out there.
JC: DJ, I understand a couple of years ago, you had some health issues you had to fight through. A collapsed lung, I believe. What happened there?
Hicks: I was in the Valley League the summer after my freshman year of college. I dove at first base. I think I hit the grass. I felt a little weird. The next at-bat I hit a double and was really out of breath, really fighting it.
The next morning, I couldn't breathe on my right side, waking up. I just couldn't breathe. So we thought I cracked a rib or something. So I took maybe a week or two weeks off in the league. Then the playoffs started so I finished maybe a couple of games in playoffs.
A month later, when I got to UCF, I felt a sharper pain again, so we saw a rib doctor, a specialist, and he said everything was fine. Then we saw just a regular doctor, they took an x-ray and they rushed me to the hospital.
JC: How much baseball time did you miss with that?
Hicks: A lot. I was in the hospital for like 16 days. I had to have a couple of different operations because the first one didn't work. They kind of told me I was done (with baseball) from the beginning. Then they kind of said maybe like eight months to a year and a half, pushing two years.
I couldn't do anything for the first three months, I couldn't even hold a backpack. Nothing. But at five months, I thought I was good enough to play. I want to say I played a weekend series and by Sunday it was hard to breathe. It was just too much, so we kind of laid off. I took the rest of the year off. That was my red-shirt sophomore year.
I played a little bit in that summer, but it was still bothering me. Then when I came back, it was just trying to run again and get in shape again. That was definitely the hardest part. Trying to condition with the team and just the warm-ups and I was done.
JC: Mason, the perception is that, in many cases, for someone that can throw a mid-90s fastball, the path to the Big Leagues might be a little quicker for a relief pitcher than a starter, while a starting pitcher's career could be more lucrative. Did any of that go through your mind when the Twins told you they wanted to make a starting pitcher out of you?
Melotakis: Absolutely. It's a good career path to be a starter versus a reliever. Right now, we're developing me in to a good pitcher, as in pitching and not just throwing. Having three pitches I can throw for strikes versus just having the two and just blowing by fastballs.
My fastball's there, it's ready, but it's the other stuff I need to work on. Making me a starter will give me more innings and I'll also have a chance to work with adversity, adjustments, learning to throw strikes.
It's just all about development this year. Who knows what my path is? But right now I'm enjoying where I'm at.
JC: DJ, You're on Twitter like a lot of the guys are. Are you active on Social Media sort of things? Do you go out and read what people write about you, about the team?
Hicks: Not at all, to be honest with you. I'm on Twitter. I like Twitter. I like to keep tabs on all my friends, former teammates, guys that aren't playing any more. I use it for that.
Of course, you're going to run in to stories and see your name and stuff like that, but I really do try to stay away from that stuff 'cuz that stuff just gets in your head.
JC: Tell me a little about your interests and hobbies off the field. What do you like to do when you're not playing baseball?
Hicks: I like to hang out with the family. I'm a big family guy. I'm definitely missing my nephews, my niece. My niece actually just beat cancer at nine months old so that was definitely a struggle. Obviously, we've been cheering ever since we heard the news. She's a tough little girl.
But other than that, I like to play basketball. I'm a big basketball guy.
JC: Do they let you play basketball?
Hicks: No, not any more. Now I stick to video game basketball (laughing). Any kind of little activities, any kind of games. I like doing stuff. I hate sleeping in. Mason gets mad at me all the time, 'cuz I'm always waking him up.
JC: Mason, what do you like to do when you're not on the pitcher's mound?
Melotakis: Honestly, I don't really know, man. Whenever we have off days, we don't do anything. We don't know what to do with our lives (laughing). I work out, try to get better.
I don't really do video games, I've never golfed. I'm going to golf for the first time on Monday over the All-Star break. We might see how that goes. I'm not a big video game guy. I watch movies, I guess. I'm a big movie guy.
JC: What's your favorite movie?
Melotakis: My favorite movie's got to be the Batmans. All the Batmans, even old Batmans. Those are the best, I grew up on that.
JC: Down the road, what do you think you'll remember about playing in Cedar Rapids? Have there been particular highlights during your time here so far that you think will stand out?
Melotakis: Honestly, just the guys. We're all a pretty tight-knit team. Being in first place the majority of the year. I'm going to really remember that, just us winning more than anything. Just enjoying our time here. But when you're winning, everything seems to be a lot better.
Hicks: One, we have a great team. Obviously, when you win, that makes everything way better. When you've got guys like (Byron) Buxton bringing in crowds, just for him, that's something special. You don't see the kind of player he is every day. Guys like JD (Williams) , it's been fun playing with him. He's a different character.
It's a great town, great host family. I can't complain about anything in Cedar Rapids at all.

A fire on a boat is a serious matter. To extinguish it successfully, the fire must be relatively small, and you'll need to get to it quickly, which means having the appropriate fire extinguisher close at hand.
While police and the Coast Guard try to determine why a Silverton 34 capsized on its way home from July Fourth fireworks on Long Island, drowning three children in the cabin, the accident has renewed calls for a New York law requiring adults to pass a safety course before operating a powerboat.

Situational awareness (noun): the perception of environmental elements with respect to time and/or space, the comprehension of their meaning and the projection of their status after some variable has changed, such as time.

Ask any 10 sailors what situational awareness means, and you will get 10 different answers. It begins with what our senses convey to us at any moment in time. Therefore it is somewhat subjective.

Throw a Quadro card on Gigabyte's Z270X-Designare | 7 |


text:
The double Olympic champion, whose preparations for the World Championships - which start today - have been disrupted by injury, shrugged off the suggestion that he has not been able to recover full fitness.
"I am ready to run fast," said Johnson, who recorded 45.02sec in a comeback race in Houston, Texas two weeks ago. Referring to Reynolds' record of 43.29, he added: "The world record is under threat any time I'm in shape. And I'm in shape now."
Johnson's presence, on a wild card, after he had missed the US trials has generated controversy among athletes and officials. If his confidence is not misplaced, it is bad news for Britain's 400m challenge with Iwan Thomas hoping to lower the national record he set last month, and the relay team aiming high.
Johnson dismissed his poor performance in Paris on 25 June, when he lost his eight-year unbeaten record over 400m as four runners came past him in the final 30 metres. "That's what happens when you try and run fast and you are not in shape," he said.
There has been an encouraging report on Ashia Hansen, Britain's triple jump medal prospect, who begins her competition in the Olympic Stadium this morning. "She has had some treatment and the good news is that she is as bright as a button now" said Britain's chief coach, Malcolm Arnold. "I wouldn't say she's quite 100 per cent but her body language is good."
Dalton Grant, Britain's former European indoor high jump champion, has had to delay his flight here until Sunday, the day before his qualifying competition, because he is suffering from food poisoning.
Britain's athletes were encouraged on the eve of competition by rousing speeches from the British Athletic Federation president and former Olympic champion, Mary Peters, and the new team captain, Roger Black.
"No one here is a good athlete," Black told them before adding "You are all excellent athletes. That is why you are here."
His team-mates now have the opportunity to live up to his expectations.

The Football Association are determined to press on with the same management structure for both their internal organisation and the 2018 World Cup bid despite the conflicts leading to the announcement on Wednesday that Brian Barwick will be leaving Soho Square.
One of the reasons for Barwick's disenchantment was that many of his responsibilities have been devolved to the recently appointed Alex Horne, whose title is "chief operating officer and director of finance". Among Horne's responsibilities are Wembley, the National Football Centre at Burton, which is due to be fully operational in the next 18 months, commercial and corporate services. A new chief executive will still be appointed, however. Horne, who was managing director of Wembley Stadium, is expected to be a strong candidate, given his business experience and expertise.
Meanwhile, the structure of the World Cup bid will also include a chairman, chief executive and chief operating officer. Lord Triesman will double up as chairman of both the FA and the bid, and is looking for a high-profile chief executive. Simon Johnson, currently acting chief operating officer, may find his position in jeopardy.
Adrian Bevington, the director of communications, is undertood to be relaxed about his role, but there could be more casualties under the new structure, which was set out as part of the "FA's Vision" document published three months ago.
Other positions to be filled include chief executive of Wembley and a performance director to work on the football side alongside Sir Trevor Brooking and the England coaches.
Nobody at the FA is denying that Triesman, a Labour peer who became chairman in January, found former ITV head of sport Barwick lacking in required business skills and experience.
"In the end it was like any other business," one source said. "Someone new comes in at the top and has a view on how to take the company forward. He looked at it and didn't think Brian was the identifit [sic] for what they wanted. They talked about it for five or six weeks and Brian accepted it and that was that."
One FA councillor said: "Johnson and Barwick were close allies and Johnson was moved to be interim head of the World Cup bid as a way of separating them. But Triesman is not simply a politician, he's a good grass-roots football man, who's introduced some good governance to the organisation.
"It's just ironic that Brian and [former FA chairman] Geoff Thompson pushed for the Burns Report to be implemented, and as a result of it and a new independent chairman coming in, they've both now lost their jobs."
The deadline for World Cup bids is December 2010 and a decision on both the 2018 and 2022 hosts will be made by Fifa in April 2011. England will face competition from China, Australia and the United States.

Tribute to Ka Roger - I
■ Part I ■ Part II ■ Part III ■ Part IV ■ Part V ■ Part VI
October 10, 2011
■ Messages and Poems
Gregorio (Ka Roger) Rosal 1947 - 2011 |
Roger (1947-2011) Further,
the Central Committee said, "The ability and patience, the sharpness and
intelligence, the patriotism and love of country demonstrated by Ka Roger
further raised the prestige of the Party and the revolutionary movement." Ka Roger stood
out as a very unassuming leader who, for all the fame he had
attained among the revolutionary forces and the general public, remained
consistently modest and un-self conscious till the very end. According
to a comrade and friend, Ka Roger was not only humble as a person, he
exuded a sense of knowing his rightful place in the people's movement, in
the larger-than-life story of the people's struggle for national and
social liberation. Thus he would assume no airs in this regard. |
Ka Roger and Ka Bart with Sen. Loren Legarda at the release of POW Army Major Noel Buan on April 6, 2001 |

Any recommendations? I've been looking at Bluetooth headphones but decent ones are quite expensive. Any recommendations gratefully received! Thanks Kelly
Sorry should have mentioned I'm looking for the DJ style headphones, not the in-your-ear headphones, thanks!
Kelly, Going wireless is expensive, even more so if you're not willing to give up good sound quality. (Bluetooth does not yet equal the range of wired headphones, at least not in its generic form.) Having said that, I'm a fan of Sennheiser products. They have a pair of bluetooth foldable headphones (PX 210 BT) that are excellent. (Sell for $145-$170 USD in the US). However, Sennheiser suggests using a dongle with the iPad to get the best possible sound. That adds another ($83) to the price. If you're looking for something much less expensive, you're willing to give up a wireless feature, and want something very portable, I'd recommend the Sennheiser PX-100ii foldable headphones for use with the iPad. They fold into a size you can carry in a shirt pocket and produce sound of phones twice the price. (They're about $60 USD). If you want a closed design take a look at the PX 200ii. They're a bit more money and provide somewhat more sound isolation. If you're looking for true DJ style (with swivel ear pieces) Sennheiser has a number of models available there, as well. They get good reviews but I don't have any personal experience with them.

My mother was invented long before e-mail, so when I get one from her it's like time has gone inside-out.
She thinks I'm unhappy. She knows things about me she's never told me, the way the mad scientist never tells Robbie The Robot about the secret circuits inside him that enable vast powers of earthly destruction. My mom only hints at things about me I still haven't figured out about myself. So I give her credit. I trust her, occasionaly. If she thinks I'm unhappy, it's usually because I am and am too busy with work to notice.
Mom says, "Write something funny. Write something to make you laugh." She knows I write stories because I always have. She was there when I started telling them. She handed me my first sharpened pencil.
She suggested I tell you this story because in the telling I would feel better. That's the sort of suggestion my mother will make when she detects I'm getting blue. Write a funny story. Invent something that will make a lot of money. Start another Microsoft. Move back to New Jersey where you belong.
These are my mother's suggestions for future happiness. I have decided to write the story she suggested so time will go right-side in again. It's one of my Mother's favorites.
When I was in first grade we got little pulp science magazines every week. They suggested experiments. I remember my first ever science magazine because they delivered them with great pomp to us first-graders at Saint John the Apostle school.
"This is YOUR FIRST SCIENCE MAGAZINE."
It was. I was excited. I remember the experiments. One experiment was about starch and how our bodies digest starch to sugar. They suggested we munch a saltine cracker and chew it up for a really long time. Eventually it would start tasting sweet because the saliva in our mouth would convert the starch in the cracker to sugar.
I liked sugar a lot, and the idea of turning a box of saltines into a virtual chocolate cake in my mouth seemed like a first-rate idea. So I sat in the kitchen with two saltine crackers my mom gave me and I chewed them from the time I got home from school till my father got home for dinner. As an adult I know this was roughly two and a half hours, but as a kid, it was long enough to be born, grow to adulthood, be elected president, die of old age and be buried in Arlington.
At no point did the cracker taste sweet enough for me, and I was horribly angry at the whole "YOUR FIRST SCIENCE MAGAZINE" charade. Something was wrong. This wasn't science. It was a way to get kids to eat crackers without jelly.
But my mom encouraged me to go back to it. Try another experiment. See, She always thought I would be a scientist someday. (Now that we're both older she knows I became an engineer. But that's ok to mom. She thinks that's the same as "scientist" only I actually make money, and I have no motivation to disabuse her of that notion. She's proud of me and it's good to have a mom feel that way.)
When we went back to the magazine we had a problem. The little tissue paper thin pulp magazine had suffered some sort of water damage. Over my two hours of chewing I might have drooled onto it, or I might have dripped toothbrush leakage onto it when I tried to get the chewed up cracker out of places in my mouth it was no longer welcome.
Chunks of the page had just plain dissolved. All that remained of the second page of experiments was a picture of a baby chick, and the description of an experiment that involved dropping a dried lima bean into a cup of water, leaving it for a week, and then looking at it later. Something was supposed to grow. It would be a baby something.
I have always been the sort of person to connect facts, and there was a chick picture on the page with the lima bean. The fact there were words missing was not going to deter me from growing a veritable army of baby chickens from a bag of dried lima beans.
I pestered my mom to get dried lima beans. I did it for days while she insisted the truth in my mind was a fallacy. I would never grow chickens from lima beans. Lima beans were not members of the animal kingdom. Chicks could not exercise photosynthesis.
I didn't understand these things but I was sure they didn't matter. What I did understand was that I had a SCIENCE MAGAZINE and there was a baby chick and a lima bean on the same page, along with a hole where the instructions explaining how to get one from the other were missing. If it wasn't true they wouldn't be handing it out to kids in school. It was school after all. We were supposed to be learning these things.
My mother didn't want to buy the lima beans, primarily because nobody in my family could stomach them (especially me) but also because she couldn't even imagine using them as filling to a comfortable pillow project. But I wore her down. I was right, she would see. I would get a chick from a lima bean left in a glass of water for a week. In fact, I would get several. In double fact, I was nearly finished with the construction of a chick pen from random pieces of wood and wire I found in the vacant lot next door. I was developing a distribution channel for all the eggs. We would soon be lousy with chickens.
Meanwhile, I sought out my first grade teacher and told her my plight. Having unbelieving parents would stunt my intellectual growth. I might need to be placed in foster care while adequate, better educated adults could be found to raise me in the tradition of the world's great thinkers.
She agreed wholeheartedly. She was thrilled I was doing the experiments despite my brain-damaged parents. And to drive the point home, she gave me a fresh copy of the FIRST SCIENCE MAGAZINE to bring home to read along with my parents so they could be enlightened.
Eventually, my mom bought the beans. I put them in the water and a week later they sprouted instead of hatching. In disbelief, I handed my mother the fresh copy of the SCIENCE MAGAZINE while I pondered where I'd gone wrong. Was I supposed to induce an electric current? Should I have added an egg as a seed to precipitate the crystallization of the chicks? Surely she would now read the magazine and show me where I missed a step in the process.
I never actually read the intact magazine, personally, refusing to accept I may have misinterpreted the Dead Sea Scrolls of my childhood. Later I learned the difference between plants and animals. I learned that the experiments in the SCIENCE MAGAZINE were generally as exciting as reading the dictionary and I quickly developed passion for burning things and creating explosions.
My mom actually read the magazine to me, but it was heresy whose imposition upon my youthful ears was a crime against all things scientific. And to this day, I still hold out the hope that someday a baby chick will emerge from a dried lima bean tossed into a cup of distilled water, something my mom thinks is funny and will make me laugh.
But that's because she's not a scientist like me.

Makobound Saturday Morning
I just heard from my son. He wants to leave his slip at 5:30am Saturday morning. This means the ones who are interested in going will have to be at Weekapaug west lot by about 5:05Am so we as a group who is going to go, and get them shoved off in the right direction. The reason it is so early is that there is a lot of boats on the water on the weekend, and he has to be back at 9AM for a charter at 10AM as he has to pick them up at another location. It is something that has come up pretty fast, and I don't want any hard feelings. My son was out there again today, it is wall to wall albies from Watch Hill to Napatree. If you are interested be there at 5:05 at the latest. I will be on later tonight, and am going down in the morning tioll about 1PM. Will be on Friday night as I will be home. I will have my cell phone on tomorrow if I haven't any fish on.

Saturday morning I'm gonna be out in my father's boat on a family adventure. I'd love to hear any pointers you have for our travels. we'll be leaving the mystic river around 6am and I'm heading on to Watch Hill. Hope to see you out there, otherwise maybe on Sunday when I come back for shore duty. What can the non fly guys in the boat throw for the albies? Offline at email@example.com if you want. I'm getting real excited now. Nick |
Art -
We're not into bad feelings here. Why don't people show up and draw straws? Anyone not interested won't show, anyone who shows and doesn't pull the straw is already in a great spot to fish at dawn. No losers! BTW - Would you recommend Phyllis' place for Gregg Estey to launch his boat? thanks Art |
| |
Yes, Greenhavan is a good place for Greg to put his boat in, some think it is expensive at $10 in, & $10 out. I think Pete Gray is talking though about Barn Island, I don't know that area, but there is rocks in the cove, if you go there be careful. From Greenhaven Marina just follow the buoys as there is rocks close to the channel. There is a shortcut going out about parrallelwith Napatree backside. It is marked, but not very good. My son cannot take that shortcut with his boat, draws too much water. I want to caution anyone that gets outside, the reefs are not very forgiving, ask GregD I think he broke his skeg a few days ago at Wicapisset, which is one of the reefs between Watch Hill, and Fishers Island. I hope I answered about the ramp.On a weekend I think Quonny is very crowded. It also is a wader ramp, with rocks on each side. If Greg goes there, follow someone out, just remember just clear the right hand wall, and go out at about a 45.
Gregg -
I'm no expert but Greenhaven sounds like the best choice, the breachways are pretty hairy unless it's slack and you go right into the surf. |

Subject | Why I think view generation should be done concurrent. |
Date | Sun, 04 Jul 2010 09:36:57 GMT |
Hi, a few days ago I've tweeted a wish to have view generation done concurrent. I'll tell you why (because @janl doesn't think so). I've got some documents in the form of: _id: 1, _rev: 3-abc, url: http://www.abc.com, hrefs: [http://www.xyz.com, http://www.nbc.com, ..., ..., ...] As you can imagine me crawling the web, I got plenty of them. And every second thousands more. I've got a view, map.py is: def fun(doc): h = hash if doc.has_key("hrefs"): for href in doc["hrefs"]: yield (h(href), href), None reduce.py is: def fun(key, value, rereduce): return True If you're not able to read python code: it's generating a large list of unique pseudo-randomly ordered urls. I'm calling this view quite often (to get new urls to be crawled). What is my problem now? My couchdb process is at 100%cpu and the view needs sometimes quite long to be generated (even if I got only testing data about 5-10 GB). I've got 4 cores and 3 of them are sleeping. I think it could be way more faster if every core was used. What does couchdb do with a very large system, let's say 64 atom cores (which would be in an idle mode energy saving) and 20TB of data? Using 1 core with let's say 1ghz to munch down 20TB? Oh please. Why doesn't couchdb use all cores to generate views? Regards Julian P.S.: Maybe I'm totally wrong and the way you do it is right, but ATM it makes me mad to see one core out of four working and the rest is idle. | |

Chapter II.
Your Right to Informed Consent
WHAT IS INFORMED CONSENT? Informed consent is more than merely your agreement to a particular treatment or procedure. Informed consent is your agreement to a proposed course of treatment based on receiving clear, understandable information about the treatment's potential benefits and risks.1 You must also be informed about all treatments available for your health condition, and the risks of receiving no treatment. WHY IS INFORMED CONSENT IMPORTANT TO ME?
You must take an active role in order to receive high quality health care. The first step is having the appropriate information about your medical condition. Once you know about all the risks, benefits and treatment alternatives, you may decide the risks are too great or the benefits too few to justify undergoing the treatment. With this kind of information, you may choose to refuse the treatment by withholding your consent. IS MY INFORMED CONSENT ALWAYS REQUIRED FOR ALL MEDICAL TESTS OR PROCEDURES? Most of the time, yes. While your informed consent is usually required, there are two exceptions where your doctor does not need to have your informed consent before beginning treatment. Simple and Common Exception: The first occurs when a "simple and common" procedure, such as a typical blood screening is performed. When risks from such procedures are commonly understood to be remote, your doctor need not discuss the risks, benefits or alternatives to the procedure with you.2 You must still agree to the procedure, however, before it is done.
The second situation is in a life-threatening emergency. This is known as the Emergency Exception.3 An "emergency" is defined for purposes of this exception as a situation requiring immediate treatment of a medical condition that would otherwise lead to serious disability or death.4 There are two specific limitations on the Emergency Exception:
IS THE DOCTOR REQUIRED TO TAKE THE TIME TO TALK TO ME ABOUT INFORMED CONSENT? Yes. Your doctor has a duty to fully inform you about all of the risks and benefits of suggested treatments in terms you can understand. HOW DO I GIVE THE DOCTOR INFORMED CONSENT? Informally Often, your informed consent comes informally in the course of discussion with your doctor during a routine office visit or similar situation. Formally Informed consent can also be given formally, by signing a document that states your doctor has fully discussed a treatment or procedure with you and that you have acknowledged and agreed to the risks. In a formal consent, you are usually asked to sign a form titled "Informed Consent to Treatment," or something similar. This is especially true in situations involving hospitalization, surgery or invasive testing. California law requires that your consent be obtained in writing for several specific procedures and treatments for specific types of conditions, including:
Another circumstance in which specific disclosures and obligation of physicians to you are mandated by law is the area of human experimentation and research.15 Federal law has established extensive regulations governing federally funded biomedical and behavioral research.16 WHEN SHOULD MY DOCTOR DISCUSS THE RISKS AND BENEFITS OF A PROPOSED COURSE OF TREATMENT AND ANY TREATMENT ALTERNATIVES WITH ME? Any discussion of a proposed course of treatment must take place BEFORE the treatment is given.17 You are sometimes asked, as a routine part of filling out medical history and personal information forms, to sign an informed consent document. This sometimes happens before you see the doctor or care provider and before you have had the treatment and/or any alternatives explained and before there has been any chance to ask any questions. Never sign any such document until AFTER there has been a full opportunity to have all of your questions answered and concerns discussed. WHAT KINDS OF QUESTIONS SHOULD I ASK SO I CAN GIVE "INFORMED CONSENT?" The key here is to ask for the information you need to decide whether or not you want to agree to treatment. Below are some examples of questions that will help you. This is not intended to be a complete list, as appropriate questions will differ depending on the medical condition or treatment being considered. These questions will help begin a discussion with your physician or care provider in order to make a truly "informed" decision about your body and health care:
IS THE DOCTOR LIMITED BY MY INFORMED CONSENT? Yes. The doctor is limited by the scope of your informed consent. This means that the doctor cannot perform any procedure or treatment other than those discussed with you to which you agree.19 This is also true under the Emergency Exception previously discussed.20 Your doctor may only do what is necessary to stabilize you and eliminate the emergency situation. If a procedure can safely be postponed until informed consent is obtained, then it must be postponed. If the doctor does not postpone the procedure when it is safe to do so, you may sue him for battery if you would have refused to give consent. WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS IF THE DOCTOR DOESN'T GET MY CONSENT, OR PERFORMS SERVICES BEYOND THE SCOPE OF MY INFORMED CONSENT? You may be able to sue the doctor for battery and recover damages for any injury to you caused by the doctor's failure to get your informed consent, or by the doctor's performance of procedures or treatments beyond those to which you agreed.21 If your physician fails to get proper informed consent, this is considered negligence, and may be the basis for a medical malpractice lawsuit. If you think that this has happened to you, immediately consult an attorney who specializes in medical malpractice. The statute of limitations (the time within which the law allows lawsuits to be filed) for medical malpractice is one year from the time you knew or should have known that malpractice had been committed.22 WHERE CAN I GO FOR HELP? You should report any health care provider who fails to get your informed consent for treatment to the appropriate regulatory agency. These agencies will conduct an investigation that may result in disciplinary action against the physician, care provider, or medical organization. http://www.medbd.ca.gov Central Complaint Unit 1426 Howe Ave., Suite 54 Sacramento, CA 95825-3236 phone: (800) 633-2322 http://www.docboard.org/ox 2720 Gateway Oaks Dr., Suite 350 Sacramento, CA 95833 Phone: (916) 263-3100 or (916) 263-3117 http://www.rn.ca.gov 400 R.

Recently, I've been thinking a lot about the power of connection between people. My group of family and friends is close and at any given moment we all have different wants from each other. Sometimes I rely on them for advice and sometimes they come to me for a listening ear. Over time these relationships have become very strong due to reciprocity, loyalty and consistency.
Each one of these friendships is strong not by chance, but because both parties invested the time necessary to build up something of value. At any given moment one friend might need more attention than another friend. In my mind I place them in different buckets based on where our relationships currently stand, as no two friendships are alike. Much like these friendships, the connections brands have with their ever-changing customer needs alter on a daily basis.
While one customer might be thrilled with the quality of service and personalized advertising/marketing efforts, another customer may feel as though you don't know them at all. There is an art in nurturing to be able to assess where your customers are at on an emotional level to tailor messaging to them appropriately.
Here are a couple of tips to help you better nurture your customers:
- Implement a Data Management Platform: You need a centralized hub to intake and store all of the data on your customer. This must be able to intake known/anonymous data from all sources, including offline, to help you have a 360-view of your customer before determining what data you need to collect.
- Collect Relevant Data: You may find that you're collecting data that doesn't matter. If this is the case, pitch it. There is no need to collect data that doesn't directly benefit the customer or you. Continue to monitor what is working and what you need to refine the data you collect.
- Create Buckets and Segments: As you setup any campaign, you will want to have triggers that move people into appropriate buckets. For example, after a customer has made two online purchases in one month, you may want to move them to bucket indicating they are more likely to make online purchases than other customers. This can help with future targeting. As you go through all of your segments, begin to create logic on which bucket your customers should be in and how to craft strategic messaging around those buckets.
- Measure and Test: Once you have success criteria setup, it becomes easy to measure whether or not you hit your goals. From there, you can refine your nurturing campaigns and adjust continuously as needed.
There is an art to nurturing your customers. Think of it like a conversation in person – you start by saying hello and then go from there. By keeping it real, authentic and genuine you have all of the makings to allow the conversation to grow organically, ultimately building a stronger relationship with customer.

Sirius has both teams broadcasts.

30 Something Moms
Featured Posts
I don't want it. I don't want anything to do with it. Whether it be a kiss, a hug... or more. I don't want it from my husband. I just want "space". I don't want to be fussed with or over. Just leave me be. I don't know if it's something common that women my age go through or if it's saying something about my relationship. Does this sound familiar to any of you?
How late into your 30's are you? I have heard both. For my I actually became more into it however there could be a chance you are perimenopausal and that is what is causing it. Due to health issues I started menopause at 24. When it started if my husband even looked at me suggestively he got the stink eye. Now I'm more eeven emotionally and am always interested myself.
It's true. By the time the kids go to bed, I'm done. Then I have to continue with chores until I can't stand up anymore. Then you wake up the next day and it all starts again. Then again, even in passing (while getting the kids ready, while driving to and from work etc, etc)... I don't even welcome a touch of the hand, a kiss... I just shrug and pull away. Which can't be nice for him, I know... and I feel bad about that. Just don't want it.

The wooden ship was constructed on a
building berth, around which timbers and planking were cut and shaped and then fitted together on the berth to form the hull. A similar practice was followed with iron vessels and, later, with the earlier steel ships, as these tended to be replicas of wooden hulls. Gradually iron came to be used more effectively in its own right, rather than as a substitute...

Eyelashes and why you want them Regular strip false eye lashes, usually last only a night or two. False eyelashes can stay on up to six weeks. If you have a few missing eyelashes or maybe thinning eyelashes, this is a great solution for you. Individual fake eyelashes make a dramatic difference but the artificial eyelashes are still very natural looking. Dying eyelashes will not give you thick lashes or long lashes. Applying the eyelash extensions kit at home, gives you the convenience of having long, thick eyelashes anytime you wish. False Eyelash and how it is done You can go to a salon and have an aesthetician apply the fake eyelashes, or you can apply the eyelashes, yourself. The semi permanent eyelashes are applied with a non-irritating eyelash glue or adhesive. A full set of individual fake eyelashes requires 40 to 50 false eyelashes. In our eyelash extensions kit, a full set of false lashes will have 10-12 flare lashes or lash clusters. You cannot see or feel the fake eyelash.
Long Eyelashes and how long it takes
Individual fake eyelashes in a salon, will take 90 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the number of false eyelashes and the speed of the technician. Our semi permanent eyelashes will take you approximately 30 minutes to apply at home. Eyelash Glue and how long they last Salon fake eyelashes will last six to eight weeks, before they start to fall out. Sometimes your own eyelashes will fall out even sooner. Our false eyelashes will last up to 15 days. But the convenience of applying the eyelash extensions at home, means you can add an additional false eyelash anytime. No appointment, no waiting, no fees! It's that simple. Individual Fake Eyelashes and are they safe Many salon eyelash glue contain dangerous chemicals such as Formaldehyde. Other salons have eyelashes glue or adhesives that contain Cyano Acrylate (which is crazy glue). The semi permanent eyelash glue can be hard to remove and eventually you will pull your own eyelashes off. Our special eyelash adhesive has no Formaldehyde or Cyano Acrylate. Our special false eyelash glue or adhesive can be removed without harming your own lashes. Fake Eyelashes and how to remove them At a salon, the aesthetician uses solvent to break down the eyelash glue bonds. To remove the false eyelashes, at home, you will only need to saturate them in a rich, oil substance such as mineral oil or baby oil. The artificial eyelashes will slide off easily and not harm or pull out your own eyelashes. Artificial Eyelashes and how often will I need a touch-up A salon will book an appointment with an aesthetician for a touch-up. Depending on how busy they are, an eyelash extensions touch-up could take a week or two to get in. The fees for an touch-up will be around $70 per visit and will take up to 60 minutes, depending on how many eyelashes have fallen off. Our semi permanent eyelashes extensions kit contains 120 flare lashes. With this kit, you could put on 4 full sets of eyelashes and have 24 extra flare lashes for a touch-up. If only one flare eyelash comes off, you can replace the eyelash flare immediately yourself. You are in control. Do it yourself Extensions and can my friend put them on for me Our, do it yourself, at home, eyelash extensions kit, can be apply by you or a friend. Our artificial long eyelashes comes with complete instructions for you or a friend to apply. Have an false eyelash party. This false eye lashes kit makes a great gift for a bride to be. Have a Bachelorette party with eyelash extensions. Semi permanent, false eyelash extensions kit are great for a Wedding Shower gift or a Bridal Shower gift, too. Having a birthday or special event coming up - put on your long eyelashes! Are you planning a vacation? Don't forget to bring your eyelashes glue and extensions. It's a great gift idea ! gift for her! holiday gift!
At Home, Long Eyelashes Kit and where do I find them?
Many local salons offer the service of eyelash extensions. Individual fake eyelashes kit can now be purchased online. Beware of professional eyelash kits selling online. These professional false eyelash extensions kits are designed for aetheticians only. They will be dificult to apply to your own eyelashes. I Love My Lashes, false eyelash kit is designed for you to apply semi permanent eyelashes to yourself, easily and quickly, at home.
Thinning eyelashes / Missing eyelashes
Some of you may be losing eyelashes, or thinning eyelashes. Or maybe you are missing eyelashes. Now you can fill in your lashes at home. Just glue on a few eye lashes where you need the extra length or thickness. It's just that easy!

Think of your skin as a brick wall. There are skin cells (the bricks) and lipids (the mortar). Lipids are the natural fats between your cells that help to conserve moisture and keep skin hydrated and smooth. Unfortunately, these lipids can break down due to harsh cleansers or environmental aggressors. When this happens, skin becomes dehydrated and rough. But don't start smearing lard on your face just yet. You can replace lost lipids and renew your skin's ability to bind moisture with Bioelements Recovery Serum. It's supercharged with skin-repairing lipids to restore your skin's moisture barrier, while it repairs damage from over exfoliation or aging.
What is a serum?
Serums are formulations that deliver a high dosage of complexion repairing or rejuvenating ingredients into the skin. Normally, serums are applied underneath moisturizers. Recovery Serum is special. This silky emollient serum has skin-repairing ceramides, lipids and aromatherapist oils designed to repair damaged, over-exfoliated or aging skin. In addition, this product is also meant to 'seal in' moisture, so it's applied on top of your moisturizer and underneath your makeup. What you'll notice is that your skin will have a smooth-as-glass finish and your makeup will last longer!

Google acquiring facial recognition firm Viewdle, possibly to add automatic tagging across its services
Google is getting close to finishing out a deal that would see the search giant buying Viewdle. Viewdle is a Ukrainian maker of facial recognition technology. This technology can be used to automatically tag photos, or suggest tags to users of Google+, Picasa, and other Google services.
The acquisition started more than a year ago with Motorola originally being the company planning to buy Viewdle. Motorola was then acquired by Google, and Google has continued the acquisition. Of course, representatives from Google and Viewdle declined to commment on the story, though an anonymous source has provided more than enough information.
The deal between Google and Viewdle could close as soon as tomorrow. The purchase price is said to be toward the high end of $30 million to $45 million, according to an unnamed CNet source. It will be interesting to see how quickly the technology gets integrated into Google's offerings.

: :Hi PJ, Anyway,yes you probably had most of that stuff your whole life: The AP lateral means the angle the film was taken in. the talocalcaneal angle is the joint between your talus and calcaneous. Its part of the subtalar joint.Hind foot varus involves inversion of the calcaneus when the subtalar joint is in neutral position. This may be why your foot is arching soo much. Either from Plantar Fascitis or from whats called pes cavus "hollow Foot" it originally begins as neurological deformity or muscular imbalance, if not addressed, it will turn into a bone problem where the bones actually shift to accomodate the earlier problem. Do you have caluses built up beneanth your toe joints? i'm available for another month to help answer questions you may have. I'm a physiotherapist from CA on vacation in Maine for a month.

Starts: Friday, Jun. 8 10:30 AM
Ends: Friday, Jun. 8 11:45 AM
Room: Ballroom D
How can social and racial justice organizations leverage technology on behalf of criminal justice campaigns? Panelists will discuss how their respective organizations utilize the internet, social media platforms and mobile devices to spread awareness about criminal justice violations impacting communities of color. Particular campaigns to be highlighted include those against the NYPD's racially-targeted "Stop and Frisk" policy; the wrongful imprisonment of 10 innocent men in Cook County, IL, on the basis of forced confessions; the execution of Troy Davis without proof of guilt beyond reasonable doubt on the basis of unreliable eyewitness testimony; and the proposal to replace the storm-damaged Orleans Parish Prison with a massively-expanded facility. Panelists will share best practices, successes and challenges and ways to improve the efficacy of 21st century technology in criminal justice campaigns.
