More MLB: Top 10s: Best of NL Central | Expert Picks | Latest news | Fantasy news
Sometimes, it's amazing the power context has. Let's talk about the Giants and context.
What if, heading into the season, we were told that the Giants would have a three-game lead over the Dodgers atop the NL West with less than a week remaining in June? Surely we'd have thought the Giants and their fans would be delighted and love their chances as the 2014 season unfolded -- it being an even-numbered year and all, as the superstitious out there would like to remind us.
Further, let's say there are two chunks, for lack of a better term, so far this season. In one, the Giants went 42-21 -- a .667 winning percentage which calculates to a 162-game pace of 108 wins. The other chunk? They entered Wednesday riding a 3-11 tailspin.
For the sake of argument, imagine the Giants started 3-11 before going on a run where they won 2/3 of their games and had that three-game lead. Everyone would be feeling pretty great about them and I'm certain I'd have them ranked higher (probably second or third).
Instead, not many -- even in San Francisco -- can feel good about this team right. In less than two weeks, they've been swept by the Rockies and White Sox while facing a sweep at the hands of the Padres on Wednesday.
The offense is inconsistent, but the pitching has been awful during this funk. Matt Cain has an 8.83 ERA in his past three starts, Tim Hudson's ERA has spiked over a run, Ryan Vogelsong's ERA is 7.31 in his past three outings and Sergio Romo is no longer confidence-inspiring. When the pitching does show up, the offense doesn't.
That three-game lead? Well, it was 9.5 only 16 days ago.
Not only are the Giants headed the wrong direction as the halfway point nears, the Dodgers have won 8 of 11.
Please feel free to contact me with comments via Twitter (@MattSnyderCBS) or email (email@example.com). Please keep in mind these were posted the morning of Wednesday, June 25. Considering the way this wacky season has gone, the order below will be moot by Saturday.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer in British Columbia, as they do in much of the world. As the richest few tally their billions, the poorest seek the doorway that will be their home for the night. Those in between work more and struggle not to fall deeper into debt. Nowadays to discuss poverty, the correct term to use seems to be income inequality. It's been the subject of several important and much-discussed books in recent years--and now there's one for B.C.
In A Better Place on Earth: The Search for Fairness in Super Unequal British Columbia (Harbour, 2015), Andrew MacLeod interviews economists, politicians, policy-makers and activists, as well as those living on the edge to illustrate the consequences of this monetary inequality.
MacLeod's title is an oblique reference to the slogan for a B.C. Liberal government ad campaign, "The Best Place on Earth", a public relations campaign to hype the province prior to the 2010 Winter Olympics.
He talks to a single parent whose child support payments are clawed back by the government; a 25-year-old struggling to live on disability payments who wont share his identity for fear of repercussions from the system; a security guard who wasnt given bathroom breaks, didnt drink water at work and eventually had to have a kidney removed as a result of severe dehydration. MacLeod examines the public policy that has contributed to this economic disparity, and encourages British Columbians to consider how our society can be more fair for everyone. The book has been shortlisted for the George Ryga Award for Social Awareness.
Andrew MacLeod has been the Legislative Bureau Chief for TheTyee.ca website since November, 2007. Prior to working for the Tyee he was a staff news writer for Monday Magazine from 2002 to 2007 in Victoria. While obtaining an English degree from the University of Victoria, he had been a co-editor of the UVic student newspaper The Martlet in 1992-93.
His work has been referred to in the BC legislature, Canadian House of Commons and senate. He won an Association of Alternative Newsweeklies award for news writing (2006) and was a finalist for a Western Magazine Award for best article in BC and the Yukon (2007). His reporting has also appeared in the Georgia Straight, BC Business, 24 Hours, Victoria's Focus Magazine, the San Francisco Bay Guardian, Detroits MetroTimes, Portlands Willamette Week and elsewhere.
Born in Montreal on July 1, 1972, MacLeod grew up in Toronto and came to B.C. in August of 1991. He now lives with his family in Victoria.

A Better Place on Earth: The Search for Fairness in Super Unequal British Columbia.
Bring back the tar n feathers
Feature article
Andrew MacLeod's muckraking facts about income inequality (ie. poverty) in British Columbia are just in bad taste.
Nobody wants to read about poverty. Nobody wants to know that in 2012, the bottom half of the B.C. populace held only 3.1 percent of the wealth.
So lets ignore the rest of this article...
Ever since slave owners in the United States wrote a constitution that declared all men are equal, Americans have been delusionary about themselves. And B.C. is a bit like the U.S. We comfortably and routinely believe in our superiority. This unites us; it makes us strong.
Hey, self-satisfaction is a good thing. For years our license plates boasted Beautiful British Columbia and our previous premier, before he escaped to a safe job in England, confidently boasted B.C. was the best place on the planet.
Now party pooper Andrew MacLeod has come along with A Better Place On Earth: The Search for Fairness in Super Unequal British Columbia (Harbour $22.95) that examines the ugly truth about wealth and poverty in B.C.
We think British Columbians should be free to remain safely inside our blissfully self-satisfied cocoons of ignorance and superior physical fitness. We think everyone should be free to indiscriminately toss around the term world class.
The public is advised to be on the look for Andrew MacLeod, a neasayer of the worst magnitude.
The public is advised to be on the lookout for Andrew MacLeod, a naysayer of the worst magnitude.
Writing a bunch of articles about widening inequality in The Tyee is fine. Mr. MacLeod can fritter away his pique all he likes on the internet. But putting his research into an actual book that was initially going to be subtitled Among the Haves and Have Nots in Super Unequal British Columbia, well, thats going too far. In Hong Kong, surely they would DO SOMETHING to gag Mr. MacLeod.
Didnt most of our B.C. publishers wisely and quietly stop producing critical books with political content years ago? A Better Place On Earth amounts to a backward step. We believe even poor people in B.C. would much prefer not to know about how badly off they are compared to people in other provinces. We should just continue to accentuate the positives like life expectancy. (If B.C. was a country we would be among the top ten in the world.) Everybody wants to live here, right? Thats all we really need to know.
So who does this Andrew MacLeod person think he is spreading these malicious truths. Every year we are certain the Vancouver Canucks are going to win the Stanley Cup. Thats how we go about our lives here. Delusion is a good thing. Thats why we are pretty sure you do not want to pick up B.C. BookWorld and learn B.C. is the worst province for inequality in Canada.
Mr. MacLeod has the gall to let us know:
By 2012, the top ten percent in B.C. held 56.2 percent of the wealth, a greater concentration than anywhere else in Canada.
With 13.2 percent of Canadas population, B.C. is home to 14.6 percent of the people living in poverty.
Between 1981 and 2012, B.C. registered the biggest drop in Canada in the percentage of workers who were members of unions, dropping from 43 percent of the workforce to 30 percent
In 2012, the bottom half of the B.C. populace, about 2.25 million people, held only 3.1 percent of the wealth (the poorest ten percent actually owed more than they owned), while the top 10 percent, some 450,000 people, held 56.2 percent of the wealth.
Real estate in B.C. particularly in Vancouver has been identified as the main factor in generating the most severe economic divide between rich and poor in the country.
As if such statistics were not enough effrontery, Mr. MacLeod goes out of his way to tell us that increasingly experts realize that higher rates of inequality will require more prisons and police and will generate higher rates of mental illness, drug abuse and other social problems.
Mr. MacLeod is particularly critical about the cutbacks to welfare rates made by the Liberals since they came to power. We are told the number of children living in poverty in B.C. increased by more than 50,000 from 2010 to 2012.
Such muckraking with facts and figures is thoroughly out of synch with the times. Is it really in the public interest for citizens to know Jim Pattisons net worth in 2013 has been estimated at more than $7 billion?
Bring back the tar n feathers, we say.
No politics, please, were new British Columbians.
Ryga winner speaks for have-nots
Article (2016)
from BCBW (Summer 2016)
Having grown up very poor in rural Alberta, George Ryga would surely approve of this years decision to present the twelfth annual George Ryga Award for Social Awareness to Andrew MacLeod.
MacLeods A Better Place on Earth: The Search for Fairness in Super Unequal British Columbia (Harbour, 2015) examines how and why the rich in B.C. are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer. The Victoria journalist remains outspoken about economic disparity.
Christy Clark became premier promising to put families first, he says, but five years later British Columbia continues to have one of the worst records in Canada for child poverty.
B.C.s economic growth may be leading Canada as the provincial government frequently reminds us, but its little comfort to the many people who are struggling to afford a place to live, coping with high debt payments and receiving stagnating wages.
Both Justin Trudeaus 2015 federal election win in Canada and the success of Bernie Sanders campaign in the United States have made it clear that a large number of voters in both countries are looking for a fairer deal.
B.C. politicians should be paying close attention to the trend and making their pitches to voters in the 2017 provincial election accordingly.
In A Better Place on Earth, MacLeod interviews economists, politicians, policy-makers and activists, as well as those living on the edge to illustrate the consequences of increasing monetary inequality in B.C.
MacLeod grew up in Toronto and came to B.C. in 1991. While obtaining an English degree from the University of Victoria, MacLeod was a co-editor of the UVic student newspaper The Martlet in 1992-93. Later he was a staff news writer for Monday Magazine from 2002 to 2007.

The Best Place on Earth?
Article (2016)
If you're wondering why there's more focus on income inequality than there was 10 years ago, give some of the credit to authors.
In the United States, University of California, Berkeley professor Robert Reich, has written three terrific books in recent years: Saving Capitalism, Aftershock, and Beyond Outrage. With his deep historical insights and imaginative policy prescriptions, Reich laid the intellectual foundation for the Bernie Sanders campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.
A Canadian duo, journalist Linda McQuaig and Osgoode Hall law professor Neil Brooks, added a Canadian perspective with their brilliant 2010 book, The Trouble With Billionaires: How the Super-Rich Hijacked the World and How We Can Take It Back. It showed how tycoons like Bill Gates have enhanced their wealth enormously by piggy-backing on the ideas of others.
Two years later came the release of Chrystia Freeland's Plutocrats: The Rise of the New Global Super-Rich and the Fall of Everyone Else. Freeland later became a Liberal MP and her book undoubtedly influenced her government's decision to jack up personal income taxes for high-income earners and reduce personal income taxes for the middle class.
In the United Kingdom, Richard G. Wilkinson and Kate Pickett coauthored The Spirit Level: Why Equality is Better for Everyone. Released in 2009, it demonstrated that health, education, obesity, violence, and other measures were worse even for the rich in countries with greater inequality.
French economist Thomas Piketty's 696-page Capital in the Twenty-First Century also enhanced people's understanding about income inequality. It was an unexpected bestseller in 2014.
You can add a B.C. author to this list. Andrew MacLeod's A Better Place on Earth: The Search for Fairness in Super Unequal British Columbia (Harbour Publishing), is a stellar examination of how Canada's westernmost province has become a Canadian bastion of class differences.
MacLeod, the legislature bureau chief for the Tyee, was recently named winner of the George Ryga Award for Social Awareness in Literature. He'll pick up his prize and give an accceptance speech at the Vancouver Public Library on June 29. (Jeanette Armstrong, winner of the George Woodcock Lifetime Achievement Award, will also speak at the library that evening.)
Like the other titles mentioned above, A Better Place on Earth offers a bounty of data to show how many folks are being left behind as the rich get richer. It also includes a nuanced look at why poverty is more prevalent among women, indigenous people, and refugees.
For readers, the inescapable conclusion is that B.C. has the greatest level of inequality in Canada. Fully half of the kids in B.C. households headed by a single parent are living in poverty, according to the book.
It also reports that from 1999 to 2012, the poorest 10 percent of British Columbians went even deeper into the red. Their net worth fell from -$1,400 to -$10,700. The richest 10 percent of British Columbians, on the other hand, held 56.2 percent of the wealth in 2012.
Stories bring poverty to light
What makes MacLeod's book so readable are stories of everyday British Columbians coping with poverty. Through these tales, the author shows how rules imposed on them are so much harsher than those faced by more privileged members of society.
There's Victoria resident Ted Hawryluk, whom MacLeod reports has been on a waiting list for social housing for 18 years. Hawryluk has a dog, smokes, and already has a roof over his head, which put him at the back of the line. After paying his rent and utility bills from his $906 monthly provincial disability-assistance, he has about $56 left to live.
At the root of the problem is the social-assistance allowance for housing within that $906 disability envelope: at $375 per month, it doesn't come close to matching his rent. MacLeod tells readers that the shelter maximum for single people on disability assistance has remained frozen at $375 per month since 1998.
Hawryluk is well aware that provincial and federal politicians receive far more generous housing allowances.
"The government can come up with a whole lot of money for people who are already rich, but when it comes to the actual poor they're not even pegging us at inflation," Hawryluk tells MacLeod.
Then there's former long-haul truck driver Rochelle Berman, who paid taxes for three decades before becoming disabled. MacLeod reports that she was waking up with migraine headaches and suffering depression and stomach problems because she couldn't make ends meet on the monthly provincial disability payments of $906.
MacLeod contrasts that with the income of the minister responsible for social development at the time, Vancouver-Langara Liberal MLA Moira Stilwell. MacLeod reports in his book that Stilwell, a doctor, "refused requests for raises to assistance rates".
MacLeod points out that taking this post, Stilwell strongly advocated for Canadian medical students studying abroad. As a minister of state, she even wrote a report objecting to barriers to these students obtaining residency positions in Canada.
Stilwell's son happened to be one of those Canadian medical students who was educated abroad. According to MacLeod, this was "something she had failed to mention in interviews with me on the subject or to minister [Mike] de Jong when she was working on the report for him". (On June 17, Stilwell announced that she won't seek reelection next year.)
A Better Place on Earth also outlines strict rules around social assistance and the multitude of reasons why people have stopped receiving benefits. Shortly afterward, MacLeod launches into a detailed dissertation on lavish spending on food and drinks by a provincial Crown corporation, B.C. Hydro, at Union of B.C. Municipalities conventions.
"Most mayors and councillors, and the other convention attendees, aren't exactly the 1 percent," MacLeod acknowledges in his book, "but by and large they're doing okay and it remains unclear to me why the public should be buying them gourmet treats."
B.C.'s inequality ranks worse than other provinces
Now for more numbers. A Better Place on Earth points out that in 2012, B.C. had the highest median net worth for "family units" of all provinces in Canada at $344,000, according to Statistics Canada.
Those B.C. families in the bottom 20 percent had a median net worth of just $1,100 in 2012. This was lower than their median net worth in 1999, which means they're falling even further behind.
The top 60 percent, on the other hand, saw their net worth rise by 60 percent over the same period, MacLeod reports. And the top 20 percent of B.C. family units had a net worth of about $1.4 million in 2012.
In addition, McLeod cites TD research showing that for more than a decade leading up to 2010, B.C. had the highest debt-to-income ratio, highest debt-service costs, greatest sensitivity to rising interest rates, and lowest average savings rate.
The bank pointed out that B.C. was the only province in the negative with a savings rate, reaching -4.2 percent in 2010, compared to a national average of 3.9 percent. Is it any wonder that we saw a proliferation of payday loan companies and a sharp rise in homelessness in the Lower Mainland during the first decade of the 21st century?
Public protests like this one organized by Acorn B.C. have put pressure on the government to offer a better deal for single parents.
Like other books on inequality mentioned above, MacLeod suggests many policy proposals near the end. They include such things as increasing the minimum wage, taxing 100 percent of capital gains, introducing a maximum wage and an inheritance tax, improving pensions, offering more support for refugees, raising welfare rates, spreading work around, and adopting a provincial antipoverty strategy.
But then there's a kicker: MacLeod adds a transcript of a legislative debate between NDP MLA Michelle Mungall and Premier Christy Clark, which took place on April 9, 2014.
Mungall mentioned six B.C. single mothers with disabilities whose child-support payments were being clawed back by the government. The moms were all in the gallery on that day watching the proceedings. And the NDP MLA wanted the premier to explain how taking away these child-support payments was putting their families first.
Clark's sidestepped the question by responding that the government is "very much focused on growing the economy as a way to make sure that we look after people in the province for the long term". The premier also mentioned that her government had raised the minimum wage three times and has "one of the lowest overall tax levels".
Mungall fired back, asking again why the government wouldn't end the clawback.
Clark's response was that Canada is a rich country and that B.C. is a rich province, but the "sad fact" is that not everyone is able to "fully participate in that wealth". It was pretty lame defence after all the material MacLeod had provided leading up to that point.
Two months before MacLeod's book was scheduled to be released, the B.C. government finally decided to end the clawback of child-support payments from single parents on social assistance. It may be a coincidence. But you can also be sure that some senior government officials were aware of A Better Place on Earth's pending publication.
The fact is that B.C. is ruled by a premier, a deputy premier (Rich Coleman), and a finance minister (de Jong) who are ideologically committed to austerity regardless of the economic climate. As MacLeod documents, this is increasing hardship for hundreds of thousands of poor British Columbians at the same time it's helping the wealthy become even richer.
The title, A Better Place on Earth, riffs on a B.C. Liberal government ad campaign called "The Best Place on Earth", which promoted the province in advance of the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Books are important tools to help frame the public debate, raise awareness, and ultimately bring about change in the world. Especially really good books like A Better Place on Earth. It belongs on any bookshelf beside the works of Robert Reich and Linda McQuaig.

Do you stop listening to the artist or try to sell thethings you bought in their name like albums or posters?
i just found out that Finley Quaye spit on and beat a woman out of racial hate. you can look up the articles yourself. I love his music, which he wrote before this, apparently this incident happened around 2012. Now I feel like I can't listen to this and I shouldn't have bought his album, which i bought before 2012.
what would you do?

Hello. I am a nineteen year old. My height is around 1.68m and I weigh 55kgs... is this small for a dude?

You may be a little smal for a guy, but you're just the right size for a toboggan!00|00|0

Hello. I am a nineteen year old. My height is around 1.68m and I weigh 55kgs... is this small for a dude?
Have an opinion?
I can't tell in Kgs need lbs cause I'm from the U.S.
Not necessarily, most girls are around 5 feet 4 inches on average, and weight varies. but for a guy you are perfectly fine, don't worry about your height and weight and just enjoy being you
I am in the U.S so could you also put in it feet and lbs.?
We are about the same size XD
I am 1.65m and 55kgs (boobs and ass) :p... I think you are a good size, plus at 19 years old you are not done growing
In south Africa that is the average height for an adult male. So in comparison tot he people around you, you are average. In the USA, 5'6" is short for an adult man. I believe the average in the USA is 5'10". I think I was 5'6" when I was about in 4th grade (which would of been about 10 years old).
yeah its on the smaller side
You're a little small but it's not like you can change that.
You cannot undo this action. The opinion owner is going to be notified and earn 7 XPER points.

NORTH WILDWOOD — The city's landlords could face financial penalties of as much as $5,000 if the people they rent to become a nuisance to the city's Police Department.
A list, maintained by police, tracks properties that have been identified as troublesome, the source of frequent complaints and police responses.
Now, with the aid of a new ordinance, owners of those properties are warned that such attention can be costly in the coming season.
The ordinance, which passed Wednesday, requires the owner of a property that has become the source of at least two substantiated complaints of "disorderly, indecent, tumultuous or riotous conduct" to post a bond of between $500 and $5,000 to compensate the city for future expenses related to new complaint calls at the property.
The trouble at the properties means police keep an extra eye on them.
"We have a party house list that we keep active, and we check on them twice a night," Deputy Chief Matthew Gallagher said of the added attention the properties get in the tourist season.
"Nobody wants to be on the party house list," he said.
City Administrator Louis Belasco said a similar ordinance neighboring Wildwood passed in September 2011 worked for that town.
"Every shore town has its problem houses from year to year," Belasco said.
He said the ordinance directs that after a property receives two complaints and a tenant of that property is convicted of a disorderly offense, the city can hold a hearing to determine what penalty the landlord will face. The hearing officer, a licensed attorney, will determine the bond amount.
If the property then avoids any other incidents for the next four years, the bond would be discharged and the money returned, Belasco said.
While North Wildwood's party-house list contains only eight addresses, seven of which are between 18th and 26th avenues, Gallagher said there was a time when more properties warranted the designation.
Thanks to new construction and harsher underage drinking laws, he said, many of those problems have disappeared.
Gallagher said he checks the complaint calls weekly and monthly to track patterns.
North Wildwood Mayor Bill Henfey said Tuesday the city doesn't have a major rowdy-house problem, but the ordinance gives the Police Department another tool to combat problems that do arise.
In neighboring Wildwood, City Clerk-Administrator Christopher Wood said the city hasn't been forced to haul many people into court under its ordinance.
"It is working as a deterrent," Wood said.
Wildwood police Chief Steven Long said the city makes use of state statutes that involve charging owners with maintaining a nuisance. Those charges come with various penalties. "That's how we've been going at it," he said.
Long didn't have an exact number of properties he would classify as rowdy houses, but he said, "There are numerous properties in the city we respond to regularly."
In the end, Belasco said, property owners have a simple obligation: "They are obliged to be a decent landlord."

|Isawa Ekiken
|Un-named Isawa Inquisitor,
un-named Shiba magistrate
|Un-named sister
|Isawa Taryu-jiai Academy sensei
Isawa Ekiken was a shugenja of the Phoenix Clan and sensei in the Isawa Taryu-jiai Academy.
Early Years Edit
At the age of six, Ekiken saw how her sister died drowned after she fell in a well. When he was eight, his father, an Isawa Inquisitor, and his mother, a Phoenix magistrate born into the Shiba, were both killed by a summoned oni while investigating reports of Bloodspeaker activity. His great aunt, Isawa Maeko, took Ekiken under her wing. She had been in service to the Master of Fire and Firestorm Legion commander Isawa Hochiu. [1]
Training Edit
As he grew up, Ekiken became arrogant, proud in his Isawa heritage. In the Isawa Shugenja school he used studty to channel his anger and sorrow, making few friends. He even enjoyed humiliating his peers in all sorts of contests of wit and skill, which earned him the wrath of his sensei. [1]
Sensei Edit
During his travels Ekiken fought and won three taryu-jiai duels against powerful shugenja of other Clans to defend the honor of the Isawa, but after several duel lsot, Ekiken eventually learned that pride was a curse one would do best to be rid of. His demeanor changed, and Ekiken was appointed as sensei to the Isawa Taryu-jiai Academy. [1]

Letter to the Admins please read and support!
Dearest Sam McPherson,
One of the more recent messages on the discussion board has announced a Portuguese fan fic contest of sorts for Season 6 hiatus. Unfortunately I and a few other Lostpedia users are not Portuguese nor do we speak the language. And though I would love to learn this lovely language (and it is quite lovely) by the time I mastered it Season 6 would be over and we would be half way through the reality spin off series Jack and Locke plus 8 (I know Kate would have been the obvious choice but I would much rather watch this show). But I digress, I think it would be great if Lostpedia-America had its own fan fic contest. Hec if the Portuguese can do it why not us. Of course this is up to you Oh great and powerful Administrator. There would be rules of course, such as
No Explicit material (As much as I would like to see the Smoke monster and the Polar Bear get it on it is just not the right time.)
The scripts will follow the same story line (Wouldn't want to see Jack die and then come back to life and then die again, there is already enough of that in the show.)
The scripts will also follow the season 6 rules which means no time travel or flash backs/forwards (This is up to you, I personally think it is better this way but you might enjoy the occasional flash back)
- this also means that the story line of the previous winning script must be followed in the next one.
Lastly, it would be good if we also added the runner ups so people can see some great scripts that just didn't make it.
I don't know if you have already seen this idea or not, I wouldn't be surprised if some one already proposed it. But still keep this into consideration. You can change the rules if you want to they were just a suggestion.
E-mail me back if you like/hate the idea, even if it is just to tell me you would rather shoot yourself than go along with it.
Yours truly, Michael Bardon BenKilledDharma firstname.lastname@example.com

TULSA, Okla. -- Carolyn Creekmore shot a 2-under 69 on Sunday for a three-stroke victory in stroke-play qualifying for the USGA Senior Women's Amateur.
The 56-year-old Creekmore, from Dallas, had an even-par 142 total on the Tulsa Country Club course to top the 64 match-play qualifiers.
Creekmore, the 2004 champion, had nine one-putts and made four birdies on her last nine holes en route to the only sub-par round in the 50-and-over championship on the 5,760-yard course that was the site of the 1960 U.S. Women's Amateur.
"I really want to do it again," said Creekmore, who reached the quarterfinals of the recent U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur. "I just want to validate that I am good enough and my win wasn't a fluke. I was as good that week [in 2004] as I've ever been. I've never been that good, but I was pretty good today. This is so much fun, it's scary."
U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur champion Joan Higgins, 52, of Glendora, Calif., shot a 74 to finish second at 3 over. Noreen Mohler, 54, of Bethlehem, Pa., had a 78 to tie for third with Maggie Weder, 50, of Greenville, N.C., at 7 over.
Four-time champion Carol Semple Thompson, 59, of Sewickley, Pa., shot a 76 to easily qualify at 11 over. Defending champion Anna Schultz, 54, of Rockwall, Texas, also advanced, shooting a 75 for a 12-over total.

We use the low salt one and its good for us.
That all looks great , however with the price of meat now , I'd hard pressed to use some good looking Ribs like that to go Pastrami on...I like good
old straight up Ribs too much .
I'll give you a point for giving it a try. It sounded like a good idea to me.
Well, Darn! I did try to give you a point. Not having any luck making it work.
Once the curing reaches equilibrium, it won't absorb any more brine no matter how long it swims.
I soak my store bought corned beef overnight before I throw it into the crock pot or the smoker. Changing the water a couple of times.
You can make up small batches of brine, varying the salt content in each. Then soak a couple of ribs in each until you find the one that suits your taste.
You can do something similar with the rub. Go light on a couple, then a little heavier on a couple, etc. Then smoke them all at once and have a taste test.
Trial and error. That's what is all about.
The good thing is now everybody knows probably not to try this and you have an excuse to try something different
Great experiment, thanks for sharing.
Looks awesome. Do you have a specific recipe for your pastrami rub?

Hangzhou makes efforts to turn trash to gold
Hangzhou, one of China's most popular tourist cities, is famed for the beauty of its mountains, willow trees, lotus blossoms and ancient stone-arch bridges. These days, a new sight is attracting attention: the local landfill.
Earlier this month, Hangzhou's local residents were invited to join a special tour run by the Hangzhou Environmental Group, which is responsible for the city's waste management. This tour didn't feature any scenic routes; instead, tourists were transported to an eco-park, Tian-zi-ling (天子岭), a de facto landfill site located on the northern outskirts of the city operated by the Hangzhou Environmental Group. Sun Xuankan from the company served as the tour guide.
"It may be unimaginable that some one and half meters underneath the lush green park where we stand is a mountain of trash generated by the city's residents more than a decade ago. More than 9,000,000 tons of domestic waste were permanently buried here to form a hundred-meter-tall hill. Next to the site is the second landfill site in operation which is 3 times larger than the first one. But the question is, how long can this landfill be used to collect the municipal trash? With more than 4,000 tons of trash arriving at Tian-zi-ling (天子岭) to be buried every day, this new landfill is expected to reach its storage limit in only 5 years."
Sun Xuankan says the second landfill in operation was actually planned to have a lifespan of 24 years. But now, the new mountain of trash is almost as tall as the first one. A record high of 5,300 tons of trash was received at the landfill site during the last holiday, making the situation even worse. Here is Sun Xuankan again.
"The city's fast growth has seriously shortened the projected life of the landfill life. Our company has been searching for different ways to handle more trash while occupying less space. After spending a tremendous amount of time on experimenting efforts, we arrived at the idea of building this circular economy industrial park where we can generate value from the solid waste in a sustainable way."
With the development of the Chinese economy, further urbanization and changes in lifestyle, waste output is continuing to rise, leading to serious environment pollution. Many cities are being faced with garbage disposal problems.
Currently, waste in China is processed via landfills, incinerators and composting facilities. Landfill currently accounts for 85 percent of the refuse, while incineration accounts for 17 percent.
China now generates the highest amount of waste output in the world with more than 7 billion tons of untreated municipal solid waste that occupies over 3 billion square meters of land. Out of the 668 cities in China, two-thirds are surrounded by garbage. In a quarter of the cities, garbage has to be transported to nearby rural areas, leading to secondary pollution such as underground water contamination and stench.
By 2030, the World Bank predicts China will produce 480 million tons of solid waste each year. These numbers don't even include the 8 million tons of electronic waste that is smuggled into China each year and causes carcinogenic pollutants to seep into the soil and groundwater. According to China Business News, the final destination of around 70 percent of the world's annual 500 million tons of e-waste is China.
And, there are many other types of waste in addition to the solid waste, including sewage sludge, agricultural waste, emissions, marine waste, liquid waste, heat waste and more.
The gravity of the problem has drawn the attention of the country's decision makers. The Twelfth Five Year Plan of the Construction of Municipal Solid Waste Treatment Facilities issued by the Chinese government stipulated that by 2015, the disposal rate of harmless garbage in Chinese cities must reach 90%, whilst that in rural areas should be 70%.
The capacity of urban waste incineration facilities is expected to account for 35% of total harmless treatment capacity, of which the eastern region will exceed 48%. To achieve this goal, the Chinese government has launched a series of policies to encourage waste incineration for power generation projects. At the same time, a national campaign has been rolled out to urge cities to reduce their waste as well as to find ways to create value from it.
These incentives have encouraged waste treatment companies, such as the Hangzhou Environmental Group, to develop more creative ideas. The company is now transforming its business from simply burying trash to becoming a one-stop solution provider that taps into every possible way of re-using waste.
At the landfill site, a special landfill leachates filtration system is operating under close monitoring. Bai Long from the Hangzhou Environmental Group tells us how waste water, is being re-used through this treatment facility.
"The filtration system helps separate the rainwater from the liquids in the waste. The rainwater is then collected, while the wastewater receives secondary treatment. This filtration system can deliver 25 liters of pure water that is safe for drinking. And the rest of the water permeating from the system can be used for irrigation, washing cars, or even as aquarium water."
Landfill leachate is generated from liquids existing in the waste as it enters a landfill or from rainwater that passes through the waste within the facility. The biggest source of leachate in most places is rainwater. When rain hits collected trash, it tends to pool up. If this runoff is not properly managed it is at risk for mixing with the groundwater near the site; thus leading to possibility of contaminating the drinking water of the local communities and impacting the ecosystems of rivers, streams, and oceans.
So, landfill sites are required to be equipped to collect, store, and treat leachate. In most cases this means that dumps have impermeable layers on the sides and bottoms made of hard plastic or other non-corrosive materials.
While the leachate treatment system is an only small part of the bigger plan to generate value from trash in a sustainable way for the Hangzhou Environmental Group. The company is already leading China's move to deal with methane, a climate-harming byproduct of decaying trash, by turning it into clean energy. Now it aims to speed up the methane production cycle from years to a matter of days at the same time as cutting the need for more land to bury garbage.
Zhang Haihua, vice president of the Group, tells us how 200 tons of kitchen waste is converted into electricity power every day in his plant.
"We use the kitchen waste to produce methane which is then burned to generate electricity. The plant, built next to the landfill, stretches tentacles composed of hundreds of pipelines that are woven through the layers of trash. It catches the bubbling landfill gas and shoots it into highly sophisticated machinery to clean it. Then the processed gas is burned to generate electricity."
Everyday, the decaying trash releases a cocktail of large quantities of harmful gases. Methane, which warms the planet 20 times faster than carbon dioxide, accounts for more than half of landfill gas. At the same time, methane has a tendency to explode; and untreated landfill gas emissions will lead to important environmental, hygiene and also security problems. So, the technology that inhales the dangerous gas and exhales clean energy must spread across China soon.
While such eco-friendly moves help extend local energy supplies, they can't help another problem. Collecting sufficient amounts of kitchen waste remains a hard task, despite the fact that half of all urban waste is produced in the kitchen.
The city of Hangzhou is estimated to generate nearly 3,000 tons of kitchen waste per day, but less than 200 tons of that goes to the designated trash bin. The rest is mixture containing various types of non-degradable materials the majority of citizens do not bother to separate it properly.
Although Hangzhou started a pilot scheme for garbage classification 4 years ago, the additional roadside receptacles are now seen by many citizens as nothing more than extra trash bins. Here is Zhang Haihua again.
"The results are not satisfactory although we have pushed forward garbage classification among the residents for years. The kitchen waste we received still has a lot of non-degradable materials."
Efforts to educate the public to produce less trash, separate waste properly and recycle more are intensifying. Though it may take some time to change people's behavior on a wide scale, environmental entities, including the Hangzhou Environmental Group, are still trying to develop alternatives, to keep their communities clean.
In an exhibition center that forms part of the company's "trash tour," visitors are now playing a new video game. They must drop trash correctly into different bins in order to win.

Warner Bros. Pictures has announced that the U.S. Premiere of the upcoming comedy The Invention of Lying will be held at Mann Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, California on Monday, September 21, 2009.
Expected to attend the event from the movie are Ricky Gervais, Jennifer Garner, Jonah Hill, Louis C.K., Jason Bateman, Stephanie March and Rob Lowe, with co-director/writer Matthew Robinson, and producers Lynda Obst, Oly Obst, and Dan Lin, as well as other celebrity guests.
Celebrities will begin arriving at 6pm, and the screening is scheduled to begin at 7pm.
The Invention of Lying takes place in an alternate reality in which lying—even the concept of a lie—does not exist. Everyone—from politicians to advertisers to the man and woman on the street—speaks the truth and nothing but the truth with no thought of the consequences. But when a down-on-his-luck loser named Mark Bellison (Gervais) suddenly develops the ability to lie, he finds that dishonesty has its rewards.
In a world where every word is assumed to be the absolute truth, Mark easily lies his way to fame and fortune. But lies have a way of spreading, and Mark begins to realize that things are getting a little out of control when some of his tallest tales are being taken as, well, gospel. With the entire world now hanging on his every word, there is only one thing Mark has not been able to lie his way into: the heart of the woman he loves.
For more information about the movie, including photos, trailers and videos, and links to the official site, the Internet Movie Database, and more, please see the Information Page for The Invention of Lying!

BLOG #8: The Cats Enjoy a Tour of Lake Como; Play Fourth Game
BLOG #8: The Cats Enjoy a Tour of Lake Como; Play Fourth Game
Kansas State will get a jump start on its preparations for the 2016-17 men's basketball season with a 10-day trip to Italy and Switzerland in mid-August during which it will play five games.
The Wildcats will depart on Monday, August 8 and return Friday, August 19 touring the Italian cities of Rome, Siena, Florence, Mestre, Venice, Verona and Lake Como as well as Vatican City before concluding the journey in Montreux, Lausanne and Lake Geneva, Switzerland. In addition to the cultural opportunities the tour will provide, the Wildcats will compete against various club, select and national teams, including LCC International University [August 10], BC Silute [August 11], Italian Select [August 13] the Kosovo National Team [August 16] and BBC Lausanne [August 18].
The NCAA permits teams to make an international trip once every four years and this will be the first by the men's basketball team since Weber's inaugural season of 2012 when it played four games in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Overall, this will be the program's fifth trip outside the country, which includes excursions to Japan in 1981, Finland, the Netherlands and Sweden in 1993 and Vancouver, British Columbia in 2004.
One player and a member of the staff each day will blog about their experiences in this once-in-a-lifetime trip.

So far this trip has been absolutely amazing. I have truly enjoyed the history, beauty and art of Rome, Sienna, Florence, and Venice thus far. Today we started the day by taking a boat tour on Lake Como. Within the tour we saw numerous historical landmarks, as well as famous stops and houses. We eventually stopped in the city of Bellagio for some short exploring and shopping. I personally enjoyed some excellent gelato by the lake in my free time. In the night portion of the day we played our fourth game of the trip against Kosovo's National team. Unfortunately, the final result was not what we wanted, but we fought until the end and played our hardest. All in all, a day spent in Italy is a day well-spent.

We took a trip on a boat from Lake Como to Bellagio. On the boat trip our tour guide described several homes of famous residents of the lake. We were able to see house once owned by the famous fashion designer Versace as well as a home owned by famous actor George Clooney. Later that day we had a game against a team who was put together to qualify for national games. We ended up losing to them but having the experience of playing against a national team was fun and gave us a chance to get better.

Flexible but Parsimonious Demand Designs: The Case of Gasoline
We consider expectations of the form E[logy|x] = Σ j=1 -super-d α j log x j as a good starting point for a more general analysis. We show why this naturally leads to the following flexible functional form: E[y|x] = f(Σ j=1 -super-dh j (x j )), where f(ċ) and the h j (ċ)'s are estimated by cubic splines. The main objective of this paper is to provide a straightforward method to estimate E[y|x]. We demonstrate the usefulness of this approach by estimating gasoline demand from the 1994 RTECS data set, and in doing so, uncover interesting relationships of income and age to expected gasoline use. © 2003 President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Auto enthusiasts appreciate the a reliable name built into each Jaguar, and understand that only the highest quality replacement XK parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. Make no mistake, you bought your XK because you understood you would be getting long-lasting quality and a trusted brand both rolled up into one car, truck, or SUV. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs these days. You purchased your XK because its sporty handling and European styling struck a chord inside you; so why would you be okay with anything but the best when it comes to great quality auto parts?
Your engine's accessories would not function properly without the use of your serpentine or drive belts. Your Jaguar XK drive or serpentine belts are essentially siphoning power from the crank and sending it to the various accessory pulleys. But since they are traveling at such high speeds, they can be prone to breaking; potentially leaving your engine without the use of its A/C compressor, power steering, or more. Jaguar XK engines with just one belt that joins all of the accessories to the crank pulley have a serpentine belt, while more than one would all be called drive belts.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members available with enough expertise to help you buy the correct Jaguar XK part for your project or repair. Don't let a broken Drive & Serpentine Belt bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by installing anything but the highest quality repair parts. Bring your XK back to life with the best replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. If your car or truck was built in 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, then you will find the correct Jaguar XK Drive & Serpentine Belt parts right here.

Sage Atri perceived through his Yogic eye a divine incident as follows. One day in 'Vaikuntham' which is the abode of Lord Sri Maha Vishnu, when there was a pleasant atmosphere all around, entire Vaikuntha was dazzling with decked gems and precious stones, when all the dwellers of Vaikuntha were merrily moving around and singing praises of the great Lord, the Divine Serpent 'Sesha' who was shining with the aura equal to the Sun God, on that Snake Bed Lord Sri Maha Vishnu having four arms holding conch, Sudarshana discus, Mace and Lotus was sleeping. Garuda and other prime attendants were singing his stotras; then suddenly Mother earth, 'Bhudevi' came crying, out of extreme pain due to the 'Paapa-bhaara' (burden of sins) of humans which she could no more tolerate.
She folded her hands and started praying to Lord Vishnu by praising his various attributes saying, "Hey consort of Lakshmi! Hey, foremost being! Hey leader of all the worlds! Protect me!" She called him by various names and praising his various attributes knelt down in front of him with folded hands crying.
Lord enquired, "O Devi! What's the reason behind your tears? What for you have approached me?"
She said, "After your Krishna Incarnation was over, after Pandavas' rule got completed, King Parikshit ruled the earth. Due to the influence of the age of kali, god of Dharma as bull stood on one leg and was experiencing immense pain due to this. At that time Kali purusha in the form of Shudra came and started beating him. This was seen by Parikshit and he realized that it was Kali dharma and he immediately with his efforts made the god of dharma stand on few more legs by establishing dharma. After him his son Janmanjeya ruled righteously. After him his descendants ruled righteously for some more years. By that time it was already 300 years over in kaliyuga."
She continued, "Then King Vikramaditya, after him Salivahanas ruled the country with righteousness. By that time it was year 1258".
This way she narrated the names of all the rulers and the period for which they ruled. Then she narrated the reason of her sadness this way, "O Lord, after all those kings who ruled righteously; people became sinners, they deviated away from the path of dharma. They started consuming intoxicating drinks and ill behaved with everyone. Cruelty prevailed everywhere. People lost their wisdom and became ignorant of the divine knowledge. People lost their moral values. Even the saints and gyanis couldn't tolerate the ill happenings and started praying you for help asking you to save everyone out of the Mlechcha Rule and their practices."
"Divinity and devotion started fading away, what is actually right, seems wrong to the people, what is incorrect is adopted as dharma by the people. Atma Gyana (Self realization) is not at all practiced by them. People stopped doing Yagyas and started utilizing Yagya dravya for their household needs. Respect for Atithi (guests) declined, and everyone became self-centered. Ladies started becoming mothers in their childhood itself… Like this there are innumerable sins which people are committing and dharma got nearly annihilated."
With tears rolling down she said, "I carry seven mountains and seven oceans but never felt them as burden, but; this burden of upholding the sinners on me is increasingly becoming intolerable. Please help reduce my burden O Lord Vishnu. I can't endure this pain till you come in your tenth incarnation as 'Kalki'. I urge you to reduce my pain soon, lest I should collapse!" Thus she spoke like that and burst into tears.
At this, Sri Maha Vishnu addressed Bhudevi and said, "O Devi, stay calm. I'm thinking of some plan to solve your problem. Please be composed and sit here".
Lord Vishnu then remembered Lord Shiva in his mind, prayed and praised Lord Shiva with various stutis within his mind and summoned him to Vaikuntha. He also summoned Lord Brahma, Indra and Surya. All four of them appeared in Vaikuntha and seated themselves around him.
Vishnu addressing all of them spoke like this, "Hey! Lord Shiva, Brahma, and everyone, for the sake of protecting dharma (dharma sansthapanardhaya) we have been incarnating in various forms on earth in every Yuga. After Kruta, Treta, Dwapara yugas have ended, in the first quarter of the 'Askhando Yugam' Kaliyugam's fourth quarter is running. This yugam is of 'Pancha Maha-patakam' (five greatest sins). I have a plan! In this Yuga let's not incarnate as divine beings. Instead, we need to take human kind of births."
"O Shiva! You please take birth as 'Ananda Bhairava Yogi' to the King 'Vijaya Singh' of Kashi. O Brahma! You take birth as the son of 'Viswatma' and his devoted wife, 'Mayameya' who are from the caste of Viswa Brahmins in South India. Your name would be 'Brahmananda Annajaiyya'. You need to become a sanyasi and uplift the people by preaching dharma to them. Coming to myself; I would be born as a son to 'Paripoornacharya' and his devoted wife 'Prakrutamba' who are from Viswa Brahmin caste and live in 'Brahmandapuram' village. I would be known by three names viz., 'Veerambotlayya', 'Veerappayya', and 'Sri Veerabrahmendra', in three places where I would wander to establish dharma!"
Vishnu assigned some tasks to Indra and Surya to help the Trinity in their mission by remaining in their own abodes only. All the four Gods went back to their own abodes. Then Vishnu addressing Bhudevi said, "Devi! You need not fear now. Rest assured, we three would take incarnations and would mitigate your pain." With his assurance Bhudevi got pacified and requested him to incarnate soon and went away.
He looked at the face of that baby and slowly a sense of smile ran across Atri's face.
In Chapter – 5 we read Lord Shiva promising 'Prakrutamba', saying that he would be born as her son. In fact 'Prakrutamba' desired Shiva to become her son. But in this chapter we see that Lord Vishnu says that he would be born to that lady, and actually it's Lord Vishnu who takes birth as 'Veerabrahmendra'. Does that mean Lord Shiva lied? No! There Lord Shiva had taught us the fact of Non-Dualism (Advaita). As the Rig Veda says, "एकं सत विप्रः बहुधा वदन्ति (Ekam Sat Viprah Bahudha Vadanti)", which means, "There is only one God who is depicted in many forms by the scholars".
Hence in Chapter - 5, Shiva taught us the simple truth that Lord Shiva himself is Lord Vishnu in Vaikuntha. There is no difference between Shiva and Hari.

VSDA's Home Entertainment 2006 Celebrates 25 YearsAt the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada (November 21, 2005)
VSDA's Home Entertainment 2006, the annual convention for the home entertainment industry, will take place July 11-13, 2006 at the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, organizers of the show announced today.

"As VSDA gears up for its 25th annual convention, the home entertainment industry has never been stronger," said Liz Crawford, group show director. "What began as a handful of fiercely independent entrepreneurs has become a huge $24 billion-a-year business in which some of the world's largest retailers, including Wal-Mart and Best Buy, are ardent sellers of DVD. Both VSDA and its annual convention remain at the forefront of this powerful and ever-evolving business. The future holds significant growth and opportunities as high definition, the next-generation video format, and alternative delivery methods enter the market."
"We are very pleased to announce that we are returning to the Venetian, the location of Home Entertainment 2004," said spokesperson Carrie Dieterich. "In line with our continuing efforts to provide the greatest value for attendees and exhibitors at VSDA's Home Entertainment, the Venetian's expansive exhibit suites and attractive guest room rates present us with the best opportunity to have another very successful event. We have a lot of exciting events planned for the 2006 show as well. Coming off the phenomenal success of this year's event, where we enjoyed a significant increase in attendance, next year's event will be the one show not to miss!"
Companies interested in exhibiting may contact Home Entertainment Events' Kimbirly Orr at [email protected] (mainstream companies) or Janet Gibson at [email protected] (adult companies).
VSDA's Home Entertainment 2006 along with the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo are organized through Home Entertainment Events, in which the Video Software Dealers Association is a partner. For more information about Home Entertainment Events and its shows, please send an e-mail to [email protected].
Established in 1981, the Video Software Dealers Association (VSDA) is the not-for-profit international trade association for the $24 billion home entertainment industry. VSDA represents more than 1,000 companies throughout the United States, Canada, and other nations.

Deprivation and quality of preschool provision
This project builds on the 'Identifying Quality in Childcare' project outcomes to see if the quality of early years' care provided varies according to the measures of deprivation of the areas in which they are located.
Research tells us that attending pre-school can improve later life chances, and that long-term gains are more likely if provision is of high quality. The is particularly true for disadvantaged children, yet statistics from Ofsted suggest that the quality of early years provision in deprived areas is lower than in more affluent areas. A small number of UK studies shed a more positive light, but this study will analyse the evidence to identify whether the Ofsted findings fully capture quality of provision.
The project explores whether early years settings and schools located in disadvantaged areas - and those servicing disadvantaged 3-4 year olds – offer comparable quality to those serving the more advantaged. It also considers the drivers of quality, to explore which kind of providers are able to offer good quality in deprived areas.
