The victory margin of 91 runs is the the largest margin in the KFC Big Bash League. It also means that they are now fourth on the table. Dan Christian is the MoM for his 75 and for his 1/17. With that it winds up our coverage for now. Don't go far, we have Pakistan playing England and the third ODI between SA and SL starting in a while. Do hop over to the other tabs to follow that. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. Until next time, this is Srivathsa signing off on behalf of Sathyavelu. Be well and take care. Amen!
A thoroughly dominant performance from the Heat. But you have to wonder what the Thunder were doing with the bat. They just gave up hope after losing a couple of quick wickets. Khawaja played a lot of dots and was all at sea against the moving ball. A pretty easy day in the office for the Heat. They just had to turn up and get the job done, which they did comfortably. McDermott made the early strikes and was well complemented by the others down the line.19.6
Christian to Abbott, no run, that has to be one of the most crushing wins of the Big Bash. Abbott failing to lay bat on ball after shuffles across to off and missing the scoop. The ball bounces over the stumps. The Heat have now won 3 in a row and stay in contention for a semi-final place19.5

Neser to Khawaja, THATS OUT!! Caught!!14.3
Neser to Khawaja, FOUR, that is the shot of the day call BJ and Roy on air, I agree. Full on off, Khawaja stayed till and drilled that through cover. Nothing David Goweresque about it. Sheer power on that. No one moved. Khawaja is waging a lone losing battle14.2

Daniel Smith, right handed bat, comes to the crease6.5
Swan to Ben Dunk, out Caught by Hayden at 1st slip!! Haydos' catching skills haven't diminished at all. He might not play regularly these days, but he still has bucket like hands.

Swan to Ben Dunk, no run, pearler! Ben Dunk looks flummoxed. Why shouldn't he be? It curved across him from middle and off, he was looking to cover the line and defend, but ended up getting squared up and was lucky not to nick the ball. Brilliant swing bowling from Swan2.5

McDermott to Cruickshank, out Caught by Brendon McCullum!! That's the 9th wicket for McDermott in the Big Bash. Another find for the Aussie side. This fella looks like he will follow his fathers footsteps. Beauty, on or around off, with pace, Cruickshank had to play and he could only edge it through to Baz.

What a huge wicket though for McDermott and he is chuffed. Gayle c Brendon McCullum b McDermott 0(1)
McDermott to Gayle, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
Alister McDermott, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack0.6

68 came off the last 4 overs and 21 off the last as Christian and Lynn ran riot. It was a green wicket, plenty for the seamers early on, but Christian was just brilliant. After being missed by Dunk, he made the Thunder pay. Exceptional batting from Forrest and Lynn as well, both made quickfire cameos. The bowling from Thunder lost it's way at the death in the face of manic hitting. Thunder needs a strog Chris Gayle reply. Will they get one? We will find out in a short while.19.6
Abbott to Christian, FOUR, take that! Christian using his strong wrists and getting it over wide long on. It looked like a six, but didn't have the power on it to clear the ropes, the ball bounces a couple of times before rolling across the ropes. 21 runs off the last over by Abbott and that could well be the difference in the end.19.5
Abbott to Lynn, 1 run, Dropped by Khawaja at cover. What more can happen this over? Another huge swirler after Lynn skied it, Usman never looked comfortable under it and just about got a hand on it. The crowd go wild19.4
Abbott to Lynn, SIX, that has been hit with brutal power. What a sound it has produced once it flew off the bat. Lynn again going after a length ball and nearly sending it out of the ground.

Coyte to Christian, SIX, that has gone 20 rows back and Coyte keeps chuntering away. Top shot from Christian, who came down and hoicked it across the line, connected beautifully and the ball found it's way into the wide long on fence. 10 off the last two balls after a good 4 nuts from Coyte18.5
Coyte to Christian, FOUR, more frustration for Coyte. Christian gives the charge and gets it over square leg. Wide of deep square, who went to his right to cut it off and didn't manage to do so. Good batting from Christian18.5
Coyte to Christian, wide, Coyte lets out an expletive after the ump gives it a wide. Just about wide as it goes over the white marker. Perhaps Coyte wasn't happy that it was given after Christian charged out and missed out on reaching for it18.4

Gayle to Lynn, SIX, Just about six. Gayle going slower and keeping it on the stumps, Lynn swept it and got a bit of a top edge, very close to the rope, but just about went over it. No one out there at deep square too, otherwise he might have had a chance17.1

Bills to Christian, SIX, Splendid hit. Fifty for Christian too. A flat hit that. Buff Lehmann ever the jovial man has a go at his teammates for not protecting him from that. Dan Vettori too has a smile after that antics from Buff. It was right in the hitting range for Christian, who short arm drove it flat over long on. A real skimmer from the Deccan Charger16.1

Bills to Robinson, THATS OUT!! Caught!!5.4
Bills to Robinson, SIX, that has to be the best hit of the lot. Cleared his front leg and hoicked it across the line, a long boundary at deep mid wicket, but Robinson just about cleared it. The ball soars over the ropes. Bills under huge pressure. Needs to keep it tight5.3

Bills to Brendon McCullum, THATS OUT!! Caught!!1.3

Making the South Better
Azaleas, daffodils, magnolias, camellias, dogwoods, and tall pines swaying in the wind. It doesn't get any better in the South in the spring. It got better when Prosper Julius Alfonse Berckmans showed up. The young Belgian gathered every seedling, sprig, bulb, root and seed that he could get his hands on and planted them in the sandy clay soil of his farm outside of Augusta. He studied the plants and nurtured them, trying to find the right ones which would thrive in the temperate climates of Georgia and the South. What he achieved was nothing short of amazing.
For those of you who watch golf and for those of you who watched the Master's golf tournament this past Sunday, how many of you looked beyond Phil Mickelson as he played the last few rounds and saw the magnificent gardens which surround the eighteen holes of the Augusta National golf course? Who among you know that after winning the Masters Mickelson donned his third green jacket, all of which were made at J.P. Stevens in East Dublin? Who among you noticed any similarity between Augusta National and a place in Dublin? Nobody? I know it's a stretch, but did anyone say Stubbs' Park? Now, I will tell you why I say so.
Prosper Julius Berckmans was born in Belgium in 1830. He came to the United States in 1850. Seven years later, Berckmans settled in Augusta, Georgia, where he established the Fruitland Nursery. Berckmans dedicated all of his life to study and promote horticulture in the Southeast. Berckmans' love of plants came from his father, Dr. Louis Berckmans, a leading horticulturist from Brussels.
It was in 1876 when P.J. Berckmans was elected as the first and only president of the Georgia Horticultural Society until his death in 1910. Among the founding members of the society was none other than Col. John M. Stubbs of Dublin. The young Dublin lawyer, in addition to his aversion for the law, journalism, transportation and politics, was fascinated with horticulture and all things which grew from the earth. Berckmans and Stubbs became life long friends.
Meanwhile, Berckmans continued his horticultural work. He was elected president of the American Pomological Society in 1887 after twenty-seven years of service to the organization. Berckmans represented the United States at worlds' fairs and expositions around the world.
When Prosper Berckmans came to Georgia in the years before the beginning of the Civil War, it was estimated that there were some 100,000 peach trees, primarily located on family farms throughout the state. After fifty years of seeking the perfect peach tree, Berckmans' research led the planting of more than three million trees, a feat which led to Berckmans being dubbed "the father of the peach tree culture in the South."
When Col. Stubbs began to develop the lands around his home, which he named Liberty Hall, he asked Berckmans to help him design his gardens and orchards which stretched along Bellevue Avenue from the Baptist Church westward to Duncan Street and northward to Moore Street.
Berckmans and Stubbs studied which plants would be suited for the young Dublin lawyer's suburban farm. Dozens of the finest fruit bearing trees and aromatic shrubs graced the finest lands in the city. All the while, Stubbs planned to leave a portion of his lands after his death to the City of Dublin.
Stubbs, also an active leader of the society for more than two decades, expanded his operations to include vast acreages of peach trees in western Laurens County in the Montrose area. The Honorable Dudley M. Hughes, of Danville, worked with Stubbs in planting fruit trees wherever they grew best in small patches or very large orchards.
Following the death of Col. Stubbs in 1907, his widow and children deemed it only proper and fitting that they donate a particularly beautiful section of the family farm to the City of Dublin, dedicating it as a park in memory of the late phytophiliac.
The area chosen for the park was located along the banks of Stubbs Mill Branch between North Church Street and North Calhoun Street. The stream provided the water for a grist mill located at the far eastern end of the park. J.T. Pope, a pioneer miller in the Dublin area, built the first combined grist mill and cotton ginnery for Col. John M. Stubbs on the property in 1901, following a fire which destroyed the old mill. The new mill contained two sets of grist rocks, three seventy-saw cotton gins, and a planing mill.
Despite the failure of a bond issue, city fathers moved ahead with the plans for a park on the Stubbs's property. The Stubbs family signed the deed giving the park to the city on October 10, 1908. M.J. Guyton, the first city engineer, surveyed the area in October 1908.
The P.J. Berckmans firm, of course, was hired to design the park. P.J. Berckmans, then officially retired, sent his son Robert to work with local officials and the Stubbs family. Robert Berckmans' initial plan called for the draining and filling in of the lake with seats and fountains placed throughout the park. The city of Dublin agreed to accept the donation of the land for the park in April of 1909. The council appropriated three thousand of the five thousand dollars needed to complete the ten-acre park in May of 1909. One of the first improvements would be a small pavilion located just north of the Catholic Church in the area now known as the Grady Wright section of the park.
In the 1930s, golfing icon Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts wanted to build one of the world's finest golf courses. They bought Berckmans's old Fruitland Company lands and his home and set out to improve the home and the grounds. Louis Alphonse Berckmans, a son of Prosper, was solicited to help with the design. Over the last eighty years, the course has grown into one of the most beautiful sports venues in the world. The Berckmans' home was remodeled into the club house of the Augusta National Golf Course.
Signs of Berckmans's work still remain; the large oak tree behind the clubhouse, the privet hedge around the club house, which was imported by Berckmans from France, and the wisteria vine, generally accepted as the largest vine of its kind in the country.
So the next time you watch the Master's golf course or if you are one of the lucky ones who get to see the tournament up close and in person, think about our little piece of Berckmans's work and the generous gift of Col. John M. Stubbs and his family to the people of the city they loved so dearly.

ePrescribing of Controlled Substance (EPCS) Now Allowed Nationwide
John Lynn is the Founder of the HealthcareScene.com blog network which currently consists of 10 blogs containing over 8000 articles with John having written over 4000 of the articles himself. These EMR and Healthcare IT related articles have been viewed over 16 million times. John also manages Healthcare IT Central and Healthcare IT Today, the leading career Health IT job board and blog. John is co-founder of InfluentialNetworks.com and Physia.com. John is highly involved in social media, and in addition to his blogs can also be found on Twitter: @techguy and @ehrandhit and LinkedIn.
This is really exciting news. Especially for me since the only post I've ever taken down after it was published was a post I did about an FDA pilot of controlled substances on September 13, 2009. It turns out the press release I got was premature and so I took down the post since it wasn't accurate information. About 6 years later (technically the DEA first proposed the rule in 2008), we finally have ePrescribing of controlled substance available in all 50 states.
Surescripts put together this great animated gif to celebrate the occasion.
Today, #Vermont becomes the final state to adopt rules to allow #EPCS for all schedules: http://t.co/5kDFuo5ke9 pic.twitter.com/6Y13v4cHjw
— Surescripts (@Surescripts) August 28, 2015
We still have some work to do to get every doctor on board with ePrescribing, let alone ePrescribing controlled substances, but we're getting there. In fact, I suggested today at me EHR workshop in Dubai that ePrescribing has been one of the most successful standards in healthcare. Can you think of any other healthcare standard that's been more successful? HL7 lab data comes close, but I still take ePrescribing.
How long until we have near 100% adoption of ePrescibing? Any predictions?

Document paths and revisions
As a rule, full path to document in CouchDB is just URL path. But there is one subtlety. For example, document ids can contain slashes. But, to work with such objects, path fragments must be escaped.
But, fo non-document items such as views, attachments e.t.c., slashes between path fragments must not be escaped. While slashes in path fragments must be escaped.
type Path = ByteStringSource
Represents a path or path fragment.
Make correct path from escaped fragments. Filter empty fragments.
mkPath ["db", "", "doc/with/slashes"] db/doc%2Fwith%2Fslashes
type Revision = ByteStringSource
Represents a revision of a CouchDB Document.
CouchDB Connection
data CouchConnection Source
Represents a single connection to CouchDB server. The constructor for this
data type is not exposed. Instead, you should use either the
def method
to retrieve a default instance.

couchPort :: CouchConnection -> IntSource
Port. 5984 by default.
couchDB :: CouchConnection -> PathSource
Database name. This value is prepended to
Path to form the full

Runtime enviroment and errors
All functions to access CouchDB require a
MonadCouch instance to
access the connection information.
ReaderT is an instance of
MonadCouch, and runCouch runs a sequence of database actions using
ReaderT and
If your db code is part of a larger monad, it makes sense to just make the
larger monad an instance of

revolution ize the art of steel toolmaking they did not divulge the nature of the inven tion further than to intimate that it related to the chemical hath in which the tool is inimerged in the tempering process the callers asserted that by their method of treatment the com monest grades of metal such as shear or cast-steel could be tempered in the matter of hardness and toughness as to fully equal the best grades of tool steel an ordinary pair of cheap cast-steel scissors could be treated without dis connecting the blades so as to cut and hold an edge as well as the best ; english

Reason 6 is on its way, but why wait?
A little while back we published the exciting details of Propellerhead's forthcoming Reason 6, Reason Essentials and the new Balance Audio Interface. Since then, interest has been steadily increasing from musicians and computer music producers who can't wait to make the switch to Reason.
The good news is that you needn't wait around twiddling your thumbs because Propellerhead and Dolphin Music are offering you the chance to pick up then current incarnation of the software at a discounted price, so you can get started creating straight away... Then, on the official launch of Reason 6, you'll receive your update via download, free of charge or be given the chance to do so at a huge reduction, so not only will you save money on the cost of the new software, but you won't have to put your music on hold in the meantime.
Reason 5, Record 1.5 and the comprehensive Duo garnered critical praise and accolades from across the industry last year. It is considered by many to be Propellerhead's greatest success to date, with more people now using the cutting edge DAW than ever before. Reason 6 looks likely to improve yet further, cementing the brand's reputation and offering even more in the way of innovative tools and unparalleled usability. Taking all the existing features from Reason 5, the latest version now includes audio recording and editing, Propellerhead's acclaimed mixing console with dedicated onboard EQ, and dynamic control over each track. The new software also boasts new studio quality effects and genuine Line 6 amp modelling. Reason 6 offers true 64-bit compatibility and is already fully functional with OS X Lion.

STATESVILLE, N.C. — NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Travis Kvapil was placed on two years probation Thursday and must perform community service as part of a deferred prosecution agreement in his domestic assault case.
Kvapil, 37, faced misdemeanor charges of false imprisonment and assault after an Oct. 8 incident at his home. Under the prosecution agreement, the charges against him eventually will be dropped.

Kvapil, who drove for BK Racing last season but does not have a ride yet for 2014, appeared Thursday in North Carolina District Court in Iredell County.
According to court records, he pleaded guilty to the charges as part of an agreement that will dismiss the case after he completes two years probation (at least one year of supervised probation) and 72 hours of community service. He had to pay $460 in fees and court costs and must attend an anger management class. The probation stipulates that he can travel out of the state for work purposes as long as he gives notice to his probation officer.
According to court documents at the time of the arrest, Kvapil pulled his wife, Jennifer, by her hair into a bedroom and struck her in the head when she attempted to pull away. Alcohol was not a factor and there were no weapons involved, according to the police report.

Kvapil, a father of three children, apologized at the racetrack two days after the arrest.
"There was a domestic situation with my wife and I," Kvapil said two days after his arrest. "I deeply regret what happened. However, this is a personal, family matter and we would ask for privacy and respect as we work through this together as a family.
"I'm embarrassed. I'm ashamed of the situation and what happened."
Kvapil, the 2003 NASCAR Truck Series champion, said in October that he knew he couldn't control opinions about him and knew the arrest could impact his career.
"I'm sure there's certainly sponsors, the manufacturer, everybody is going to have to take a close look at this," Kvapil said in October. "Obviously I represent a number of supporters of BK Racing, and I'm the face of that. Certainly there could be an impact there."
Kvapil was not re-signed by the team for 2014 as BK Racing hired young drivers Ryan Truex and Alex Bowman.

We're home. Unpacked and somewhat organized.
{My sister made us a glass of liquid sunshine every morning. I seriously need to invest in a juicer.}
Dividing them and linking half today and half tomorrow. I think that will be easier for all of us.

Oh dear, my queue on Ravelry is about to grow like crazy! What wonderful suggestions, how on earth will you ever pick. Just when you think you've discovered all the cardi's you like on Ravelry... voila, oodles of new ones to love.ReplyDelete
I love everything about the sweaters suggested; my Ravelry gueue is also growing. Tops on my list are still my choices. I finished my Common Ground. It was simple, quick, simple! A very wearable cardigan out of Cascade Eco Wool. I have enough left over for a hat!! Whoopee!ReplyDelete
I have one more for your list...ReplyDelete
The Lily Cardigan by Marie Grace Smith. It's on Ravelry and it definitely looks like something you would wear (or Lisa). I am thinking of making it for my 17yr. old daughter. Nice pics!
