How did it get to be September already? Is someone playing a trick on my calendar? Here we are in the thick of tomato and squash season. I feel like it all happened overnight! I have been volunteering intermittently at the Urban Farm between summer vacations and it is just bursting there right now. I probably consume more food while I'm working than I help
Winter Harvesting
My outdoor garden beds have been providing me with a steady supply of the usual winter suspects: kale, swiss chard, spinach, collard greens, leeks, and tasty brussel sprouts. Oregon, especially the Willamette Valley, is fortunate to have relatively mild winters and we pretty much live on brassicas from November through February. This is the first winter I have had the pleasure of gardening with a
Eugene Local Food Resources
Thanksgiving looms on the horizon and I have decided to stay put this year. The holiday falls right before my final review of the term, which means I basically don't get much of a Thanksgiving for the three years I am in grad school. So instead of traveling four hours round trip in one day to Portland and back, I am celebrating quietly in Eugene.
Fall at the Farm
I have been continuing to help at the Urban Farm here in Eugene, which has been going really well. I work with an awesome group of students this term who are hard workers and seem really interested and motivated to learn more about urban agriculture. We are moving inside now for the remainder of the term mostly because we no longer have enough light. It
Finding Where I Fit
It has now been about a year since I uprooted my life in Portland and moved a couple hours down south to Eugene for my grad program. Part of me wants to design public urban green spaces. Another part of me wants to just focus on residential projects. And another part of me wants to build my own version of Zenger Farm – a place
Grassroots Garden Visit
Last week our Plants class visited Grassroots Garden, a local non-profit here in Eugene that grows food for the needy. We did some volunteer work that morning planting carrots in the morning sunshine and learning some interesting things about soil amendments. The garden itself is humming right now, making my own backyard look a little sleepy. They are situated on a couple acres of land
My New Gig
I have been a dedicated volunteer over the University of Oregon's Urban Farm since moving to Eugene in June. This term I became an actual "employee" at the farm. The whole class has about 80 students who then get split up into smaller groups. My job is guiding about 10 of them in their journey of learning about food production. It has been easier than
Winter Gardening
It is that time of year to start planning the coming season's garden and get our seeds going indoors. I have to admit that I haven't started a thing yet and I am already feeling really behind. Hopefully this weekend will allow me a sliver of time to get my seed starting organized. In the mean time, there are still things to do outside in
Goodbye Urban Farm
It's time for me to spend the last of this year in New York, so I said goodbye to the Urban Farm a few days ago. Sure I'll be back in January, but going away for the next few weeks without my favorite corner of Eugene made me a little sad to be leaving. I spent a chilly morning out there mixing compost and admiring

No pictures, no promises, just a few words to see where I get, how it feels after so long. Everything is out of date. I am many versions behind in WordPress, and Headway, and plugins oh my! But, that is not the point. I miss writing. I miss writing, to you.
I do write in a handwritten journal, but it is not the same now. The way I write has changed, I write to a reader, I tell my stories, loathsome or divine. Maybe, just maybe that matters. I know it does to me. So I am giving it another go. I have a new camera, and a new writing device. I am armed and very gratefully so. It has not been easy.
For today I think that will do. A few words on the tablet, like getting my toes wet in the ocean for the first time of the year. A bit of a shock, but a welcome comfort in the end. The sea and my pen, friend or foe on any given day! Life with cancer as uncertain as it gets, why not write about it?

Short Version: As the owner of an iPod touch (2G), I was happy to give this case/stand a spin on my recent trip over to Ireland. Generally speaking, the case provided adequate protection of the touch (albeit leaving the top and bottom slightly exposed), was very handy for watching videos on the plane, and worked great for transforming the touch into a bedside alarm clock.

"There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true." (Kierkegaard)
The quote above is vital to ponder when we are confronting a belief system that arthritis is reversible.
Arthritis reversal is more about human potential. On doing research for this audiobook I studied several body-building groups. I found one in Japan where the minimum age is 75 years. That's right; you have to be 75 years old to join. A lot of people think that as we age we're supposed to break down, and that's not true. If you don't drive a car, the car is going to last a long time; but if you don't drive a body, it's going to break down early. With human beings, the more we use our body, the longer it works.

"No help! :("
Better research. Better narrator.
The so called advice. Nothing worked.
Anger. Felt I wasted my money.
Arthritis is horrible and sufferers will reach for anything that may help them feel better. Unfortunately this can lead to people wasting their money....as I did with this book. Utter nonsense. Very very poorly researched, bad writing, horrible narration. UGH!!!
"Very Interesting Book"
I found the information in this book very enlightening and will be trying out the suggestions for regenerating discs and improving/curing arthritis. I felt there could have been a summing up at the end of book, of the methods mentioned and some elaboration on them. If this works though I will change the review from 4 to 5 stars.
"Everyone WITHOUT arthritis should read this"
Massively informative. Tells you so much about all sorts of pain/disease and a better way to view your massively ingenious body and its ability to heal and regenerate itself. Just read it. If you are interested in being an individual and helping yourself be well - read it. So much helpful non pharmaceutical advice. Eye- opening! Check your forward head carriage/alignment. Got MS? Read it!!!!
"No enough information"
His youtube videos provide more information on how to reverse arthritis or at least he can tell you in few minutes
"Avoid! This is utter nonsense :("
It was nonsense - a lot of the advice from this so called "best seller" has either been proven to NOT work or it was just the sort of stuff you get for free from a leaflet.
No. Sorry!
Arthritis is an awful awful infliction and I really hoped i would get SOMETHING from this book to help me - all i got was annoyed! Sorry, this was really awful.
"Dr John Bergman is an amazing and skilled man!"
I love that he covers so much in such a short book! If you are open to learning and truly want to heal, whether it's arthritis, depression, or even cancer, this is the man to listen to. He has many seminars and is extremely scientific and articulate in his research. Wish he had more audio books!
"Eye Opener"
Loved the message. He gives reasons for examining our paradigms derived from past conventions. He goes farther to provide details and methods. I am glad I chose this book to begin a new way of looking at my health, nutrition and exercise.
"Great info"
Would of liked more specifics and less true stories. I am already a believer, just need more direction.

Mac OS X 10.4.11 Upgrading?!
Version: 10.4.11,
Processor: 2 Ghz Intel Core Duo,
Memory: 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Will I be able to install Leopard &/or Lion with this computer??
- Asked by Robert H from Tuolumne
- Asked about: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
2 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
You can install Snow Leopard. You can't install Lion. Lion has to have at least an "Intel Core 2 Duo" processor and 2GB of memory.
To upgrade to Snow Leopard, you can either install directly on top of OS10.4.11, or do the following steps (which I prefer):
1) Do a clean install of Snow Leopard to a new partition. If necessary, clone your 10.4 partition to a temporary, bootable external hard drive.
2) All Snow Leopard disks can do a "Clean Install". But with the $29 disk you need to follow some extra steps, since "Erase and Install" is not part of the automatic installation... but the tools to do so are provided on the DVD.
Basically, when you put the Snow Leopard DVD into your Mac, you will be presented with two options: 1) to "Continue" with a standard upgrade, or, 2) go to "Utilities". Select the "Utilities" button (there will be a reboot in order to run from the DVD). In the new screen that appears, under the "Utilities" menu, select Disk Utilities to format your hard drive (or partition) that Snow Leopard is going on to. When you have finished formatting, QUIT from Disk Utilities, and the installer will then complete the installation of Snow Leopard. (Note: be prepared to wait several minutes when the system reboots during installation as it copies and sets up all the files.)
3) At some point during the installation, the installer will search all other partitions for an older OS, and if found, the installer will ask if you want to import the OS Settings, Files and/or Applications from that partition. Do this for a very smooth transition.
4) All my apps from OS 10.4 continued to work in Snow Leopard, but some of my printer drivers and scanner utility needed upgrades. Until I could find the upgrades, I was still able to Start Up from my OS 10.4 partition (press Option during start up) in order to use my printers and scanner in the meantime.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Chandler Whitmer threw for 163 yards and a touchdown Saturday in Connecticut's first Blue and White Spring game under new coach Bob Diaco.
The White team defense beat the Blue offense 46-37, with linebacker Jon Hicks making eight tackles. The Huskies used a scoring format that awarded points for tackles, turnovers and defensive stops.
Diaco was hired in December after serving as associated head coach and defensive coordinator at Notre Dame.
Angelo Pruitt and B.J. McBryde each had a sack and a tackle for a loss.
Whitmer was the most impressive of three quarterbacks on the day working mainly with the second team offense. Whitmer began last season as the starter and was benched after an 0-4 start.

State of the City 2017
On Tuesday night, Mayor Marty Walsh gave the annual State of the City address. We appreciate that Mayor Walsh talked about the critical issue of how Boston responds when a homicide happens.
Mayor Walsh said, "45 homicides in our city last year. That's unacceptable. One is too many. And zero is our goal. To get there we have to keep digging up the roots of violence and sowing the seeds of opportunity...
In the aftermath of violence, health centers, hospitals, and community groups will coordinate immediate response and sustained recovery for all those affected. Together we'll break the cycle of suffering and violence and bring healing to our city."
Every person who is murdered leaves behind at least 10 family members. With 45 homicides last year, there are more than 450 new survivors of murder victims. This number does not include friends, classmates, and coworkers who are also feeling grief and anger. These survivors are at the beginning of a long and painful healing journey.
We agree with Mayor Walsh that making programs and services available to families impacted by murder is essential to interrupting cycles of violence and trauma in our city. We are working to establish a formal homicide response protocol with the city of Boston to codify these best practices.
The Peace Institute convenes the Serving Survivors of Homicide Victims Providers Network every month. More than forty agencies are part of the Network, and together we coordinate the immediate response and ongoing healing work after a homicide happens.
We are committed to working with all of our partners so we're all equipped to respond equitably and effectively, no matter when or where a homicide happens in Boston. All survivors of homicide victims deserve to be treated with dignity and compassion, regardless of the circumstances.
The Peace Institute provides services and support to families impacted by murder, as well as training and technical assistance to our partners.
We're here to serve.

Ring of Fire 31
ROF 31 is happening this Saturday at the Broomfield Events Center in Colorado. Is anyone planning on going? Eliot Marshall, a black belt at my BJJ school (pro namedrop), will be defending his Light Heavyweight title against Rob MacDonald, who you may remember from TUF 2. There are two other title fights, and the current card is listed here:
Feature Bouts:
Eliot Marshall vs Rob MacDonald (Light Heavy Title)
Shane Carwin vs Sherman Pendergrast (Heavyweight Title)
Christian Allen vs Lah Thao (Featherweight Title)
Michelle Waterson vs Lynn Alvarez
There's also a bunch of undercards. Sometimes ROF does kickboxing fights but it's going to be all MMA this Saturday. If you're in the area this weekend I hope to see you there.

The Minnesota Legislature reconvenes at noon Tuesday, and lawmakers will make decisions that will affect almost everyone in the North Star state.
They could raise or lower taxes and fees; boost the minimum wage; crack down on bullying in schools; finance college classrooms, parks, trails, roads, bridges and other public works projects; and more.
With so much at stake, Minnesotans might want to get involved. Here are some tips on how to do so:
How do I find out who represents me?
Go to the Legislature's "district finder" at www.leg.state.mn.us/leg/districtfinder.aspx. Type in your address to find your senator and representative, and contact information for them.
How do I contact my legislators?
Click on the "Contact my legislator" link at www.leg.state.mn.us or call the House Public Information Services office at 651-296-2146 or the Senate Information Office at 651-296-0504.
How do I keep track of what's happening?
The Pioneer Press will report on major issues at the Capitol and provide breaking news and archived coverage at TwinCities.com/politics. Follow our political team's social media sites at twitter.com/PolAnimal and facebook.com/PioneerPressPolitics.
The Legislature provides an array of information. Check its website at www.leg.state.mn.us to find bills and ways to track those you're interested in, as well as committee schedules and reports on legislative activities. You can sign up for committee mailing lists, news releases from your legislators and a customized bill-tracking service.
How can I participate in committee meetings?
To speak at a hearing, contact the committee chair or its staff members and ask to be put on the agenda. Senate committees meet in the Capitol; House committees meet in the State Office Building. The sessions are open to the public.
How do I get into the Capitol?
You can just walk in the main door atop the grand staircase on the building's south side. Entrances for people with disabilities are on the ground floor on the north and south sides of the building.
Where can I park when I visit the Capitol?
Several parking ramps and lots near the Capitol provide metered spaces for the public, and there is also a limited amount of metered street parking. The Administration Department provides maps and parking cost information at bit.ly/CapitolParking.
Bill Salisbury can be reached at 651-228-5538. Follow him at twitter.com/bsalisbury and facebook.com/PioneerPressPolitics.
Here are some key dates for the 2014 Legislature:
Feb. 25: The House and Senate convene at noon.
March 21: The first committee deadline. To remain alive, a House bill must be approved by a House committee and a Senate bill by a Senate committee by this date.
March 28: Second committee deadline. Bills that met the first committee deadline must be approved by a committee in the other house.
April 4: Third committee deadline. Bills appropriating money must be approved by the House Ways and Means Committee or the Senate Finance Committee by this date.
April 10-22: The Legislature's Easter/Passover recess.
May 19: The constitutional deadline for the Legislature to adjourn for the year. It may, however, shut down earlier.

a guest post by Pandhre
This article would help beginners get an overall basic picture of the entire PP cycle.
Before I start, I would like to mention that I have just started learning the finer nuances of SAP PP ( I am basically an SAP ABAPer with good MM module knowledge ). So if some PP experts don't agree with the contents of the article, I would really appreciate if they come forward and guide us in the proper direction. As I mentioned, my only aim to write this article is to help people get a basic knowledge of the PP cycle.
So here we go….
The overall PP cycle follows the following pattern:
- Sales and Operations Planning
- Demand Management Program.
- Production Control
- Settlement.
1) Sales and Operations planning.
Is used to forecast sales, create a sales plan, create a production plan and test its feasibility. Once this is done desegregation is done to bring the requirements to the individual materials level.
2) Demand Management Program.
The individual material level plan from the Sales and Operations Planning is then fed to the Demand program to generate independent requirements along with quantity and requirement dates.
The Demand Management Program is the link between Sales and Operations Planning and the Master Production Schedule/Material Requirements Planning. Input to demand program can come from Sales plan, production plan, Manual entry, material forecast, any other plan, etc. The result of the Demand program is Planned Independent Requirements with their quantities and requirement dates.
3) Master Production Schedule ( MPS).
The Master Production Schedule usually follows the Demand Management Program. MPS- Master Production Scheduling only plans Master Schedule items (like type-A materials) which may be very important to the company. It does the planning at the planned independent requirements level and one level below it (i.e. the immediate dependent requirement level).
4) Materials Requirement Planning (MRP).
MRP analyses the demand from sales orders and forecasts. If stock is needed then a planned order is created. A planned order consists of a suggested order quantity, a start date and a finish date.
To calculate the quantity of material required, Net requirements Calculation is carried out. This involves Lot-size calculation which decides how much quantity to prepare.
To determine the start and finish dates, Scheduling is carried out.
Once the quantity and dates have been decided, we need to decide about the planning level (single-item, single-level, single-item, multi-level) and the planning horizon and regenerative planning.
5) Production Control.
If the material is produced in-house, then the planned orders are converted into production orders.
Production order document contains a lot of data including.
Planning data – finished product, quantity, components and quantity.
Scheduling data – start date, end date.
Accounting data- material cost.
Warehouse data – storage locations for finished and issue
Production data – PRTs to use.
The Production Control flow is as follows:
a. Proposal (planned order)
b. Order Creation ( reservation for components )
c. Availability check
d. Capacity planning
e. Order release ( now reservations can be issued)
f. Print Production Order.
g. Withdrawal of materials
h. Execution.
i. Confirmation( record quantity produced, who produced it, which work center,etc )
j. Warehouse Receipt
k. Order settlement.
6) Order Settlement
In order settlement, the costs collected in an order are allocated to one or more receivers. When final delivery has been made for a production order, it can be settled. If no final delivery can be made, then the order status must be set to "technically completed" before the order can be settled. The status of technically completed may be assigned to a single order or to several orders.

Continued from page 1
JUXTAPID can cause elevations in transaminases and hepatic steatosis. Although cases of hepatic failure have not been reported, there is concern that JUXTAPID could induce steatohepatitis, which can progress to cirrhosis over several years. Modify the dose of JUXTAPID if elevations of transaminases are observed and discontinue JUXTAPID for persistent or clinically significant elevations. If transaminase elevations are accompanied by clinical symptoms of liver injury, increases in bilirubin ≥2x ULN, or active liver disease, discontinue treatment with JUXTAPID and identify the probable cause. Use JUXTAPID with caution when co-administered with agents known to be hepatotoxic. Alcohol may increase levels of hepatic fat and induce or exacerbate liver injury.
Measure ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, and total bilirubin before initiating treatment. During the first year, measure liver-related tests (ALT and AST at a minimum) prior to each increase in dose or monthly, whichever occurs first. After the first year, do these tests at least every 3 months and before any increase in dose.
Females of reproductive potential should have a negative pregnancy test before starting JUXTAPID and should use effective contraception during therapy with JUXTAPID.
Given its mechanism of action in the small intestine, JUXTAPID may reduce the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients. Patients treated with JUXTAPID should take daily supplements that contain 400 international units vitamin E and at least 200 mg linoleic acid, 210 mg alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), 110 mg eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and 80 mg docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
Gastrointestinal adverse reactions are common and may lead to treatment discontinuation. To reduce the risk of gastrointestinal adverse reactions, patients should adhere to a low-fat diet supplying less than 20% of energy from fat and the dosage of JUXTAPID should be increased gradually.
Combination with CYP3A4 inhibitors increases exposure to lomitapide. Strong and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors should not be used with JUXTAPID. JUXTAPID dosage should not exceed 30 mg daily when used concomitantly with weak CYP3A4 inhibitors.
Due to risk of myopathy associated with simvastatin or lovastatin, doses of these agents should be limited when co-administered with JUXTAPID.
JUXTAPID increases the plasma concentrations of warfarin. Increases or decreases in the dose of JUXTAPID may lead to supra- or subtherapeutic anticoagulation, respectively. Patients taking warfarin should undergo regular monitoring of the INR, especially after any changes in JUXTAPID dosage.
Avoid use of JUXTAPID in patients with rare hereditary disorders of galactose intolerance.

Going to start a thread on my picks. I get 5 entries for $100. Each one is a seperate entry, so for example I coud use Pats on all five in one week.
Posted my picks in the other thread already, so here they are again.
Packers -4.5 WINNER Movin On!
My writeups were in the other thread, didn't want to hijack it anymore. I'm REALLY liking jets more and more and will have cash on them also, Secondary is decimated with injuries and starting left tackle is out also.
Probably my least strongest pick is lions and my strongest is jets. I'm not submitting the last 4 picks till friday night, but thinking of changing lions. I hate changing any pick oncw it's on paper.
Let me know what you guys think. Picks are ATS

Chargers +7.5
Steelers -14.5
Packers -9.5
Giants -4.5
May the football gods shine down on me!
Chargers screw me as usual.Everything told me not to take them and still did. 2 entries left, gotta make em count from here on out.
1052 remaining from 4205, so the field is getting whittled down quickly each week. lost about 1300 entries in week 2 alone!
Missed my posting last week and this week. Had 2 entries remaining for week 3.
I won with Ravens -3.5
Lost with Lions -3.5
So I had 1 entry left and took Saints -6.5 today and they came thru!
Going into today there were 552 entries left. There really dropping quickly.
Week 3 had 1052 entries left, so bout half are gone every week.
Teams used so far for this entry are-
I still have some good teams left like Packers and texans, but have to find right spreads and opponents. Texans are at Ravens, so I'll pass them this week. Pack at falcons and spread will be small.May be the spot to use them, but have to see the pick sheet wed first.
After WEEK 4 327 entries left.
Titans game not on my sheet cuase of Big Ben injury. They do play pitt well thou, I know, I'm a steeler fan.Even back when they were in our division, they just beat us almost all the time with Mcnair.

Just like time-out, grounding tends to get a bad-rap. This is because many parents misuse it.
- Mom says, "You're grounded for a week!" until she cools off and remembers some important event Billy Earl is already scheduled to attend, lets him go, and undermines her own authority.
- "You're grounded!" means Lilly Pearl stays in the house but she watches all her favorite TV shows , texts her friends until 2:30 each morning, and updates her Facebook status every few minutes.
- "You're grounded for another week!" and so on: Melody Marie ends up being grounded all winter and grounding is no longer of any benefit.
- "You're grounded for a month!" After a while, Billie Jean no longer connects the punishment with the crime. Instead she feels resentful the grounding fails to alter her behavior.
- "You're grounded, but we're going on vacation!" If parents, Betty Lou and Jimmy Ray, are not there to monitor what Thelma Liz is doing, she sneaks out with her boyfriend Buddy Lynn and undermines her parents' authority.
Read the rest of this article to learn how to avoid these challenges and effectively ground your teen.
Effective grounding is brief and to the point as noted in these four points:
- Grounding should be reserved for more difficult problem behaviors and when you have taken away so many points or privileges that you are at risk for no longer motivating your teen.
- Grounding should be for a few hours up to 2 days maximum (a weekend). Anything beyond 2 days is too difficult to manage.
- Grounding involves withholding all forms of positive activity during the time period the teen is grounded.
- Essentially, grounding means "house arrest."
It is important to understand these points as well:
- Any amount of time beyond 2 days maximum is too much and the teen will no longer remember why he or she is grounded.
- The teen cannot have access to anything the parent would define as a privilege.
- The teen may have to do some type of manual labor like cleaning out the garage or mucking out the horse stalls.
- The parent must be there to monitor the grounding so it may need to be delayed until they return from their trip to Neiman-Marcus to pick out Dr.Davenport's Christmas gifts.
- Once the grounding is over, the parent reminds the teen of the behaviors that will lead to grounding in the future but then goes on with the daily routine in a business-like fashion.
All in all, grounding works if it's monitored and it's not overworked. Try it!

Hello all,
My apologies for any errors of etiquette. I hope I did not post this twice. I have read and will make my best effort to hold to the "Rules†and invite any critiques, advice, etc. Not only new to you but this will be my first attempt at a "forum". I have been involved in the Creation vs. Evolution debate for over 20 years. First as a supporter of the idea that we are beings created by other non-god beings. My brother took on that task and was able to point me in a direction which he new my overtly logical mind would drive me to the only reasonable conclusion; If I choose to believe the Bible then I must accept it as whole and reliable. So an alien beginning became impossible.
I found this forum while I was looking for Creation vs. Evolution wallpaper (something along the lines of "Evolution is for the religiously ignorant", for my laptop and came across a discussion between Fred and LuckyStrike (now banned as I read on). It seemed to me that LuckyStrike defeated his own argument early in the discussion with his own statement, "The Hebrew word for "created" [NIV, NASB, and KJV] is 'bara (Strong's #1254), which is used in the Qal word stem and is in a Perfect word mood, which means it expresses a completed action. It means "to shape, fashion, create" [Strong's Lexicon]. This means that God completed creating the heavens and the earth before Genesis 1:2.". I am sure my next statement is rhetorical to most of you; According to his argument, God was finished creating in Gen. 1:1. Why then is there a Gen. 1:2 or anything beyond? To me it is obvious that God must not have been finished and therefore the definition supplied by LuckyStrike is inaccurate. In my experience, circular logic is commonly used against Inteilligent Design, Young Earth, Devine Creation, etc.
I look forward "sharpening my sword†here.
New Guy

LOS ANGELES – Three former USC baseball players have been named undergraduate assistant coach, interim head coach Frank Cruz announced today. Morgan Ensberg, Alberto Concepcion and Cyle Hankerd will be undergraduate coaches for the 2011 season.
Ensberg played eight seasons in the major leagues (2000-08) for Houston, San Diego and the New York Yankees (he played at the Triple-A level in 2001). The third baseman played in 731 games in the majors with a .263 career average, 110 home runs and 347 RBI. His best season came in 2005 when he played in the All-Star Game for Houston after batting .283 with 36 home runs and 101 RBI.
Last year, he served as color analyst for ESPN during the 2010 NCAA Tournament for the Fullerton Regional and the NCAA Super Regional in Tempe, Ariz.
He had a .331 career average at USC (1995-98) with 40 home runs and 149 RBI and was a member of two College World Series teams, including the 1998 national championship squad as an infielder. His 40 home runs rank him fifth on USC's all-time list. His best season came in 1998 when he earned All-America third team honors with a .344 average, 21 home runs and 69 RBI.
Concepcion played at USC from 2000-02, earning All-America second team and All-Pac-10 honors in his 2002 junior season after batting .363 with 11 home runs and 48 RBI as a catcher. He was a member of the 2000 and 2001 College World Series squads and finished with a .334 career average with 26 home runs and 111 RBI.
Hankerd played at USC from 2004-06 and earned All-Pac-10 honors in his 2006 junior season after batting .383 with 10 home runs and 55 RBI as an outfielder. He finished his career with a .340 average with 12 home runs and 123 RBI.
USC opens the 2011 season with a tournament at Dedeaux Field, featuring Missouri, North Carolina and Cal Poly (Feb. 18-20).

Pyramid Oud Strings Yellow Label #652-200 FAdgc' Set Plain 3rd (5 courses)
Click to enlarge
Pyramid 652 oud strings. This set (652-000, yellow label) is Pyramid's basic Arabic tuning set. This set does not include the 6th course. A good all-around set for Arabic ouds. This set has the same gauges and tensions as their 650 set, but with two differences: the wound strings are bronze instead of silver, and the trebles are black nylon rather than clear. This results in a slightly different sound that may suit some ouds or playing styles better.
1st: .028in black nylon
2nd: .031in black nylon
3rd: .039in black nylon
4th: .029in bronze wound
5th: .032in bronze wound

Post time to BTWB
Most of us, at least I hope anyways, take showers in the morning. It's part of our daily ritual, helps us wake up, and it's just hygienic really. Given how damn hot it's been this summer I'm wondering how many of you take a cold shower in the morning? I'm not talking you turn the cold water on a little to cool the hot water, I'm talking about turning the dial to the C or if you have a two dial system, not even touching the H one. Joe Rogan had a great podcast a while back about cold water immersion and cryotherapy and the benefits to the body for recovery and energy.
I've been reading and hearing more and more about the benefit of a cold shower in the morning, I'm talking mountain spring water from melted snow cold too. Ice baths are common during CrossFit competitions and many professionals athletes in major sports also utilize ice baths to help relieve sore muscles and reduce inflammation. But what about a freezing cold shower first thing in the morning? An article on the FastCompany website dug a little deeper in the benefits. Here are a few of the takeaways from the article and the link can be found at the end of the blog.
In the simplest terms, cold water can flood the mood regulating areas of our brain with happy neurotransmitters. Separate studies have show that winter swimmers, people that swim in cold water, have a decrease in tension and fatigue as well as improved mood and memory.
Here's a way to give it a shot yourself and see if you experience the benefits. Instead of jumping into a cold shower, start with a hot one and slowly lower the temperate until the water is cold to the touch and the skin. Once it's at the cold to the touch temperature, stand under if for 2 – 3 minutes. This was the template the participants that reported the above results followed.
I am very adverse to temperature whether hot or cold. It takes me forever to get in a hot tub and cold tubs or ice baths are just as bad. I've been trying the above formula of starting warm and lowering the temperature gradually and I've been able to make it up to 1 minute. I'm hoping to be at the recommended 2 – 3 minutes in the next week or so. Finishing your shower with cold water is also an amazing way to keep you from sweating profusely after a long grueling workout like today's, so maybe consider ending your shower with a minute or two with the dial all the way to cold.

It appears that more sites are recovering from Google's Panda update thanks to Google's continued algorithm tweaking. Some are speculating that Google's Panda update is updating automatically, as opposed to being updated by Google manually, as it has been in the past.
Similar speculation was voiced the last time Google confirmed a Panda tweak (when DaniWeb reported its recovery), though Google stated:
"We're continuing to iterate on our Panda algorithm as part of our commitment to returning high-quality sites to Google users. This most recent update is one of the roughly 500 changes we make to our ranking algorithms each year.
In a WebmasterWorld thread titled "Panda Updates Now Processed In Real Time", member SEOPTI says, "I'm quite sure since two sites have completely recovered. One last week on Friday and the second one today which means +400% for each site."
Member AnkitMaheshwari chimed in, "I am also seeing traffic bouncing back from 4-Aug-2011 on one of my client's site which was hit by panda2.3. Now the traffic is almost equal to pre-panda 2.3 period."
It's important to keep in mind that, like Google said in the above statement, it makes about 500 changes each year. Many of them are not Panda-related, but may still have positive or negative impacts on sites. That's not to say this wasn't a Panda tweak, but Panda tweaks aren't everything. Regardless of Google's continued iterations on Panda, Google's philosophy behind Panda will remain the same - ranking high quality content better than low quality content. See Google's list of questions to ask yourself in assessing quality.
It doesn't hurt to work to diversify your traffic sources either.
Yesterday, Demand Media released its earnings report for the second quarter. During its earnings call for Q1, CEO Richard Rosenblatt revealed that search referrals were down by 20%. Back then they also announced a clean-up initiative for the eHow site - the site hit hardest by Panda, and most criticized for quality. During the call for this past quarter yesterday, he said they have removed 300,000 eHow articles and continue to edit the rest to improve quality. He said only a small percentage of revenue was impacted by search algorithm changes, and that eHow had over 70 million uniques in June (comScore).
"We feel confident that our auditing and removal of content and improvement of overall quality will continue to attract traffic from all different sources," he said.
Of course, the company also expanded its ad partnership with Google, including a new presence in Google's Display Network.
Update: Google has said that no Panda update is currently happening, but that sites may just now be seeing affects from the last Panda update.

Christie certainly is not a happy person. She just oozes anger. Kelly seems to be trying to contain whatever is going on with her. Maybe she's just tired of the stress of ALDC?

Christie certainly is not a happy person. She just oozes anger. Kelly seems to be trying to contain whatever is going on with her. Maybe she's just tired of the stress of ALDC?
I think it's something else going on in her life that she hasn't shared with her crazy group, in addition to any ALDC stress.
This show has got to be scripted.
All the bickering on this episode gave me a headache. Seriously.
Jill just had to interfere ... and really ... it was none of her business, I feel sorry for Kendall, but I wish both Jill and Kathy would be gone.
I thought the duet was great, Paige's solo was great ... and Brooke growing up was also great. Abby really made good decisions this episode.
I liked seeing Cathy lose ... but felt sorry for the choreographer paying "tribute" to his Father. Maybe he should just establish a dancing scholarship in his father's name instead.
I'd be thrilled to never see Cathy on this show ever again. There was already too much of her and now that there's daddy drama at her studio, we see even more of her. The dads are just as bad as the moms, IMO.
That kid who did the bird routine has good technique, but the choreography and the COSTUME were both horrible. Frankly, I walked into the room after they introduced the number and I thought it was a girl. The other routines were bad too. Not enough dancing and too many gimmicks.
Kellie needs to get over herself. Abby gives her kids great opportunities and all Kellie can do is bitch about it. Brooke needs to dance full time with the senior group. She looked great and was totally capable of keeping up with those older kids and she only had a few days to learn the routine. Abby was even really happy with Paige and she's usually down on any kid getting second place.
Interesting that, with all the cameras in that studio, not one captured Christie yelling at Paige.....and that no other adults witnessed it. I'm not saying that something didn't happen - or that Christie isn't in the wrong - but I think the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
So glad Gino's dad got him out of Cathy's studio. Gino is a great dancer. He can do better at another studio, even if it's not Abby's.
I, also, thought the bird was a girl. That costume was hideous and transgendered, to say the least! :lol I'm pretty sure that was my Nick in the role.
I thought that Gino's dad planned to move Gino to Abby's. Cathy had better watch out.....Gino's dad could start a trend! That would be wonderful!
I hate the constant fighting. I think they get more money if they fight with each other - that's the only reason I see people this age fighting around each other around kids.
I wish they would feature more dancing the fights. Even show competitors other than Kathy.
Chloe hasn't appeared happy in awhile. Brooke finally seemed happy when dancing with the senior group. Maddie is happy again because she's back on top and in Abbi's good graces. Nia always seems content.
Cathy is nothing more than a joke. Her choreographer should take over her place on the show with his own studio, because she's nothing more than a mouth attached to hot air.
Abbi did seem much kinder to the kids last episode. Hope that continues but I won't hold my breath.
Can someone in charge let us see the whole dances instead of cutting away to reaction shots? We get it, moms are always proud, Abbi is always judging -which as their teacher she should, and Cathy hates everyone thats not an apple.
Still not a fan of Asia's.
Abby got caught in a big fat lie there at the end of the episode LOL

LI urges readers to go to the article about Arthur Ransome in the Guardian. Ransome is in the heroic line of English children's book authors – but he is rather unknown in the United States. More interesting, from the American point of view, is that he saw the heroic core of the October Revolution and helped the Bolsheviks out in their wholly just war against the White Reactionaries. Applause all around. He also – being a son of the British governing class – informed the British secret service of what he was doing. Well, you can only stretch your character so far…
In a comment on a recent post, LI's perpetual friend and foil, Mr. Craddick, asked our opinion of the Soviet Union's level of barbarity. We cheerfully gave it – nobody should ever diminish the evil of the Gulag. However, there is another side to our opinion of the Soviets. That side is that the world does not need superpowers. It does not need leadership. And the U.S., while not a particularly bad country – in fact, a very good country in many ways – is drawn, by the logic of power, into doing bad things as a superpower. This is why we think that the spies that gave Stalin the means to make an atom bomb were essentially right to do so – although it was also right, or justifiable, for the U.S. to punish them as traitors. Fundamentally, we can't think of any political reason to countenance the seizing of excessive world power by any nation. It has always puzzled us that the right, which doesn't trust the state to deliver mail, trusts the state with the means of ending the human species. This, indeed, is straining at the gnat and swallowing the ICBM missile. LI's view is that there is something wrong with a theory of the state that starts out with an anti-statist ideological coloration while having no real philosophy of governance – that is, having no recognition that governance is in question in every organization, and doesn't, at the fundamental level, divide between public and private entity – that is a derivative difference.
Returning us to our point of origin – the accidentally adventurous Mr. Ransome. In a sense, his reaction to the Russian Revolution – and the reaction of the Bloomsbury crowd – was conditioned by their descent from the people who ran the British colonies. You will find that almost all the Bloomsbury group, and most of the Fabians, were connected, somehow, to the Indian Civil Service. That group had been imbued with the wholly whiggish view (represented by Lord Macauley and Mill, two India House employees) that the state could actually design a society. That, of course, was the whole point of the "India" project, and it is no surprise that, through that perspective, the Russian revolution looked like what the Brits thought they did in India – rationalizing a superstitious society. The descendents of this group think they are doing the same thing in the Middle East. Plus ca change …

First Look: This box was packed with all kinds of goodies.
Poifull: These are little jelly bean candies in the flavors grape, passion fruit, lemon and raspberry. These were fantastic and my hubby tried to take them all! I have to find more of these, because they were amazing.
This is what the candy looks like, very tasty.
Rice Crackers: These are little fried crackers. They have a good flavor, but they tasted a bit toasty.
This is what the rice crackers look like.
Oreo Green Tea: This is a soft Oreo cookie with green tea inside. C liked this, but wasn't crazy about the after taste. I do find it neat, that there are so many different variations of common treats.
A look at the cookie!
Creme Brulee Kit Kat: I love all the variations of Kit Kats. This creme brulee version is really really good.
Hello Kitty Biscuits with Chocolate Cream: These are little biscuit sticks with chocolate. This is a fun treat and pretty tasty.
Here is a look inside the container.
Pretz: Fried and Pizza: These are little sticks that are flavored with pizza and salt. The pizza Pretz taste similar to an American snack, but I can't think of the one.
Final Thought: This was a really tasty box. My favorite items were the Poifull and the Pretz. The Poifull were fantastic. I would love to find more of the Poitfull, I love trying new snacks. Oishiibox finds unique and tasty treats and packs them in their boxes. If you want to try OishiiBox, click HERE.

Best ever, tried to light up a joint, no smoking anywhere at Pauley. The Playin-Uncle Johns-Morning Dew-UJB-Playin best I ever saw them play
I wasn't even there and I consider this show to be a life alterer! Somehow it seems no one believes the next guy when he uses the word "best" to describe this show - you use it twice! It has to at least be rated among the very few finest shows in the Dead's peak period. Nice call!
"From day to day, just lettin' it ride,
You get so far away from how it feels inside,
You can't let go, 'cause you're afraid to fall,
But the day may come when you can't feel at all."
I made the mistake of getting really stoned on the way to the concert, which resulted in my friend Jim Leonard and me getting lost trying to find Westwood, where UCLA's Pauley Pavilion is located. By the time we made it there, the Dead had already been on stage for an hour. Luckily, the band, still blessed with the vigor of youth, just played on and on in those days, so I still caught the lion's share of the show.
It was so cool back then when I found out that The Dead was playing within two block where I used to live,tried to look around in the afternoon to see anything-nothing.
Comes the night and coming into the House that John Wooden Built(you have to remember that this is hallowed ground for UCLA basketball) and to see this-HUGE sound system.
Well I have to admit that during the second set I nodded off,but wow that thread of music that just kept going and going and going was incredible and very magical.
The bus did come by and glad I got on.
I would've been a DeadHead at least a couple years earlier if someone hadn't tried to sell them to me by playing things like Johnny B Goode (Johnny Winter already did it better). It came to be, nonetheless, that in the first couple weeks/months that I was experimenting, that one evening on purple microdot I discovered that I couldn't listen to faves like Humble Pie, but instantly grooved to the Allman's Mountain Jam, and the brand new Dead Mammary bootleg that I'd fortuitously picked up that afternoon to sample. My interest was piqued.
Later that month or so, I grabbed tickets, smokes, my girlfriend, her friend and her uncle, and headed to UCLA. The show was so UNLIKE the subsequent DeadHead experiences. Showtime was 8pm and we walked in from the rainy night about 8.01pm and EVERYONE was seated quietly and the band was just a few moments into Me & My Uncle. Most of the songs were new to me, but the playing was clear and very sublime and expansive. Donna was very pregnant and slowly bobbed along to tunes like Here Comes Sunshine and Row Jimmy. We agreed THAT kid was gonna be far out! Security was quiet but perpetually shining flashlights on folks to put out those smokes or stay seated. The ONLY person up dancing was a freeform dancer with a spotlight on her a few rows from the front. A long pleasant evening and concert.
An original idea occurred to me afterward; that the length of the concert and beautiful slow jams and segues just may be conducive to tripping. ..And the rest, as they say, is history..
I was a junior @ Palisades High - this was my first live/Dead show - the bus came by & the lads had a ticket for me (~):}
and that was all she wrote. . . Awesome "Here Comes Sunshine" (new on the radio then) and classic 1973 "Playing" jam in the second set. A four-hour life-changing experience; I was a Deadhead!
Friends and I had had about a whole row together> what a great time and still afavorite show of mine.
Yea, tcrawford, we were successful in that regard, didn't know they had a smoking rule in there lol! People were kind of shocked to see Garcia come out there clean shaven. We knew they came out of San Diego playing very well. They didn't disappoint, did they!? This was a great show to be at. Totally together and tight sound. I think this was my 5th show, the first being at the July 1972 show at the Hollywood bowl.
Three numbers in this show I recall with clarity are the opening number, then "The Race is On", "Big River", and Uncle John's Band, all of them rousing numbers with amazing energy. Pretty cool stuff. Just listen to the band play Big River. Wow.
This show has been selected for release as Dave's Picks Volume 5, to be released on February 1, 2013.
About time for this show to be officially released, it would have been welcome as a Dick's Pick, or a Road Trips or a Download Series release. A great compliment to the Winterland 1973 box set.

I've owned an S5000 for about 1 month now and so far it's my favorite sampler. It just topped my "easiest gear to use" list.
Axel: I'm running OS2.0 and it hasn't crashed on me yet. Although I did have some trouble with the ram I purchased at first - that may be your problem as well... the first thing I did was maxed it out with 256MB EDO RAM. I followed the guidelines on their website and found out the hard way that even though EDO RAM is faster and it's listed to work fine, many times it doesn't. I think often times EDO RAM has a 4k refresh and that actually won't work correcly in an S5000/6000. FPM (Fast Page Mode Memory) is always 2k refresh which works perfectly with it so if you have additional memory in your system make sure its FPM. Anyhow, just something I discovered... hope that helps. Oh, also - I purchased an 18GB Seagate Barracuda18XL and it's working perfectly so far. If you want the model number it's: ST318416N
I have a question about copying files... is there an easy way to just copy the contents of a CD to a folder on my hard drive??? I can't seem to find an easy way to do that...

hmmmm . I just dont get it . To me the the s5/6k is the best sampler around , period . No other sampler offers the power of the s5000 , especialy in terms of memory and ability to sample to HDD . It has heaps of expansion , not all of it has been anounced yet but for instance it had an internal ide connection that is never mentioned but is planned . The sound is awesome , crystal clear and pure . Its dsp functions are quick and sound excelent (time stretch for example)
A emu does have slightly hyped bass but thats simply because of a boost in low end response of the converters , which you cant get rid of and in the end means by definetion ... DISTORTION !
I own , E6400 , K2000 , A3000 and S5000 (im a sampler freak) and my s5k is tighter than all three and offers better audio specs and has proved more reliable in the 12 months I have owned it . In fact It has only ever glitched once and that was at a early os version . Also imo it has the best sounding filters with the possible exception of the k2000/2500/26000 although the e4 has wierd zplane filter shit .
I also make drum and bass and jungle and timing is vitaly important to me , the s5k is the tightest hardware sampler I have used so far . If your s5 isnt , check your os , check your memory in the s5 (this vitaly important , its very picky on simms) and check your midi setup . Do not use it over a USB midi device .
Oh yea the scsi response in excelent , its use of pc fat a god send and it sits on my scsi chain perfectly .
Only possible downers , well I agree that for such a powerful sampler the os could be alot better , its the best built in lcd os I have ever used (with the possible exception of vast , but for very different reasons , with no exception to eos) but I expected something closer to a computer GUI .
So to sum up , Capacity is mindblowing , Sound Quality is beyond reproach , Timing is excelent , Filters are smooth , musical and usable . Basically I dont think you can go wrong .
When Emu give me
A - 256 meg B - Sampling to/from Storage devices
I may re-evaluate , But as it stands dont let anyone tell you this sampler is flawed or unstable , it is not and its features speak for themselves . 50/5 .

I've had the S5000 for over a year now, and still love it! For constant home studio use, the unit has been great. Akai seems to be plugging away at the OS, so at least you get that bone thrown at you from them.
Plus side: * great, sharp sound * handles wav files fine * can hold a lot of ram * nice screen size * Akai still is working on the OS * Finally, some nice S5000/6000 specific samples are coming out commercially
Not-so-plus side: * clunky man-machine interface (it's OK to use, but seems like it should be so much better) * still some OS bugs * sample-computer interface via SCSI didn't pan out like Akai initially advertised
All in all, I still give it a 5. My only other sampler was an Emu, liked the sound on that, but favor the sound of the S5000 still.
Final comment: When the sampler first came out, there was all sorts of fanfare, apparently this thing was going to do everything and scratch your balls to boot. Well, that wasn't the case at all. Lots of pissed folks, you've no doubt read about it someplace by now. Personally, didn't have many problems at all, but know of many who did.
I called Akai and asked them what the deal was when this happened. I talked with a marketing manager for a bit, his story was that Akai lost almost have the S5/6K programmers about 3 months before the unit was released. So, beta testing still going on, but was hobbled. And, many of the programmers who would have fixed things now gone. Bottom line: Akai released the unit more or less as a beta test unit for those that rushed out to get one thanks to the pre-press. (and the pre-release press was what drove Akai to put the unit out, even though it was half-baked).
So, I have to say I love the machine, but felt Akai should have handled things much better with the initial customer base. Not so nice to take everyone to the edge of wetness. Too bad it's a trend with a lot of consumer goods these days...release it now, and we'll fix it later.
Like I said, a fine machine now, and it appears that Akai is sayings it's Hail Mary's now. So, we're cool now.

|derek a professional user from germany writes:
ive recently heard an akai s5000 in a shop and i must say, the midi timing is really very bad. you probably can live with it if you really want to, but for such an expensive and professional sampler (the specs definetly are professional, no doubt), i would expect a better midi timing - one that simply is exactly as good as midi allows. but the s5000 in the store was more like a roland d-50...
...and yes, it had the latest OS.
so, while it give at least a 4 (perhaps a 5) for the specs, because of the timing ill have to give it a 1, sorry.

Overall I am very very disappointed with my s5000. Im on the version 1.30 and the thing still locks up and the midi timing (i make drum n bass) is so pathetic I think I may have to get rid of it. I sit infront of my s5000 shaking my head in disbeleif at how Akai could support such an expensive sampler so weakly.
